The finishing is nice but i am sure the tempering is ruined ! Very agressive ...
You can't kill the temper of an axe or any hardened steel unless you heat it past 400 degrees Fahrenheit; and considering he was holding the axe with his bare hands for most of the grinding, its pretty safe to say he didn't draw out its temper.
I think you are right Roa I did not notice the bare hands before ... It would be a shame if the tempering was ruined !
It was throwing complex sparks the whole time. No worry about temper loss. It didn’t even hit colour change.
IKR? I usually start off with a brush to get of dirt, some soapy water and steel wool for a scrub, leave it in vinegar for 48 hours THEN start with the grinder/sanding disc - but most of the rust is gone by that time. This guy is going full on with that grinder. Nice axe head though.
Yes the best way to get rust off would be to soak it in vinager for 48 hours then scrub it with a steel whool. Doing all these by hand and using wetstones instead of grinders ensures that the axe head with keep it's temper
Love your videos, it's clear to see that you put a lot of effort into them.
One question, why did you hand sand up to what looks like a fine grit sand paper and then use the angle grinder with what looks like a coarse grit wheel?
Keep up the good work,.
You mean by the end? That's a polishing wheel. The scratches you see are significantly finer than the ones before.
Great work on the axe. For the handle, have you thought about using a spokeshave? It may be a bit faster.
With hands that quick you don't need power tools...
Great work!
It must be hard being as stupid as you!
I get the "fun" in your comment, but just making it is kinda stupid^^
Wow, great comment dude! I'm glad you got your relief of insulting others for no reason, so you could feel better about yourself. Way to!
matte go away you tard.
So many complain about your methods. I really like them. How can anyone not love a mirror finished blade. And the temper was not even bothers one bit. It takes some serious high heat to change that. And since this is YOUR refurbishing project, who cares what those complainers think? They can get their own and do them however they wish! Bravo sir, Bravo.
You're the restauration MASTER BLASTER!!! Congratulations and thanks for taking time recording, editing and sharing such kind of excellent work! You're the man!!!
Great job!!
I LOVED the speed in the video. I fine I can learn more like that than listening to people who drag out the process. I LOVED your video and I learned from it. It ended up beautifully. Thank you for a GREAT how to video !!
WoW amazing job. It would be nice if you could dress a list of the tools you used step by step!
Very nicely done; complete with an elegant "fawn's foot" on the end of the haft. If only I was blessed with the same super human hand speed as you, I could accomplish so much more in a day. Cheers from the west coast of Canada.
I cant say I'm a huge fan of the buffed finish, or the removal of the makers mark, but other than those two things, great work bringing it back!
Good job Koss
Excellent hand-tooled technique! Top-notch record and edit too! More please!
Great job. And that shiny axe head reminds me of a movie. "HEY PAUL"
Finally someone seating the head right 🙏 props to you man
How did you remove rust from the eye. Didn't see it shown in the video. After all your exterior work, surely you didn't just leave the eye rusted ... right??
What wood to use for the handle? I am from Argentina and use different hardwoods but they break
I used hornbeam for handle
I would use hickory if you could.
Hickory is the way to go.
Awsome , love making those projects also watching its something satisfying.
Great work.
Nicely polished blade.
Love the work but be careful brother they might ban assault axes now
Good work, liked and subbed. Ignore the critics, I checked out their channels and they can't do shit.
Gareth Martin i agree!
did you make that wedge or buy it? just wondering.
That was cool! I particularly enjoyed the fast action rasp work!
I would recommend putting a small chamfer at the end of your handle, or rounding the edges with a sander, it helps to prevent chipping and splitting
hes like a humming bird :) great video.
Better than most. I like the buzz sounds, better than the lame music the other vids have. He remembered the steel pins in the end too, some forget those. Good Job, thanks.
So many negative comments, guys it doesn’t really matter what you would do to the axe, because it’s what he did to the axe. You don’t like buy your own rusty axe head and restore it however you see fit.
a very nice restoration,it looks really good and well balanced,gets my thumbs up
Wow; you work fast.
Belo trabalho. Ficou melhor do que um novo ! :)
Beautiful work. It got better than a new one ! :)
Came out great but damn that was a lot of handwork!
Mr. what a awesome job very nice
Very skilled on the rasp!!! FairPlay must have taken a while great job
Very nice restoration.
These two words should've been done before all that grinding: "Vinegar Bath." Would've saved you time and material on the axe head itself.
I thoroughly enjoyed this post!
Fascinating video. I wonder how does he manage to not get his fingers burned by those red hot iron splinters without wearing any gloves.
Don Draper like a boss i would know being one who is comfortable with showers of sparks hitting my hands for hours
What product do you use on the polished axe head to inhibit rust?
not sure why but restoring axe head is my favorite genre of youtube video
Same lol
Beautiful ! This is just simply amazing work. I subbed.
I had a question for you , I see a lot of the restoration videos using vinegar baths to get the rust off. Is thee a reason that you don't?
Good job mate! 😋
Зачетно!
Молодец! При желании и наличия возможности, можно сделать конфетку!
Very nice work
so beautiful👍🏻👍🏻
Nice work sir. You have some skills and patience.
I would recommend to put it in Vinegar for 24 hours before all the process to get rid off the Rust :)
Nice work really looks good thanks for sharing 👍🇬🇧
Truly a pleasure to watch a craftsman at work. Thank you for sharing this video.
Amazing!!!
Beautiful mirror finish.
I love that mirror shine.
good job
Once you get it so perfectly polished what's the best way to keep it from rusting out again?
terrahawk2003 take care of it :)
Beautiful!!!!
Shame everyone uses power tools to grind away rust; a wire brush and sharpen with a file would do. Nice job, but a pity the haft split with the steel wedge (visible at very end).
Nice job
Very very good work
Nice to see, but my advice to have a real cutting tool and not a wallhanger is to never grind it to bare metal except for the first 1 or 2 cm from the cutting edge. That steel is not stainless, and it's not made to remain exposed. It only needs some steel wool to get rid of the red rust, while the black oxide patina (magnetite) is actually protective.
hippi
Enjoyed the video keep up the good work
The motion blur makes it look cool
WOW.. FANTASTIC JOB MY FRIEND
wow, man i hope that you did this as a job before because your amazing at it, you teach me so many more tactics to woodworking and metalworking. thank you so much.
Nice hatchet.
I Need to buy one Like that
Am I the only person who throws rusty knIves and axe heads straight into the vinegar to soak when I get them? All that elbow grease saved, the rust cones right off without effecting the temper, you can then work on the finish with some sandpaper and music, then do some chemical blueing, then on to making a handle, sharpening, then BAM, Bob's your auntie, you have a nice restored piece without fucking the temper and history of the item. Not criticizing, just saying, vinegar is cheaper than abrasives and doesn't ruin the piece like high speed abrasives.
I like Evapo-Rust better.
That's beautiful simply beautiful 😉
Great job Koss.
what is that notch on the bottom of the head for?
Nail puller!
@@HomesteadJay pas sur, car l'encoche est vraiment très proche de l'œil du fer. Merci.
Nice work! Loved it!
nice work
What kind of disc is he using on the grinder
Nice job on the restore
Most of these axe restorations cop an angle grinder and belt sander to clean up burrs. Axe heads are not through hardened and can be filed for the most part. The edge is usually soft enough to be filed by hand with a quality, sharp file. Axes are impact tools and so are tempered to take abuse, this is why they can be filed.
at what part did you get rid of the rust inside the axe-head? where the handle will go into?
yea which part was that at i missed it and can't seem to find the spot it was at, wanted to know how best to remove rust from a hole like that what tool did you use on camera and in the video?
Cause i thought I saw rust in the hole when you were measuring for the handle but i MUST have been mistaken as nobody would clean only the outside of a rusty axe-head and not the rusted inside as well.
You ruined the axe. It brings me to tears. Do you know what the hook at the bottom was for?
What is the hook for?
opening your beer
seriously there are a couple purposes for them. They are used with sails and handling rope, especially working around boats. You see notches with carpenters axes and shingling axes.
Who knew barry allen could do some nice restoration
What kind of axe head?? Which country??
Amazing job, but why would you ruin the wonderful satin hand-finish with buffing.. or maybe it's just me. Anyway, great video!
At 2:20 sanding with the head facing is dangerous and could risk destroying your belt. Instead sand with the movement of the belt so face the head in the direction the belts going
Edit: Very good work tho

I thought the general conclusion was that trump was a Nazi? Not an evil communist that’d be Bernie and Hillary. So it would make no sense that Stalin would be Trumps grandfather. You’re thinking of Hitler
Not implying trump is a Nazi, I think the opposite of that
great piece
You hit that hard with a grinder. But the final finish is impressive. Shame about the metal wedges splitting the haft. I’d have used a bigger wedge and got it in deeper. Use boiled linseed oil and hit the wedge in hard with a big hammer. Don’t bother with glue.
what kind of brush where you using on the top surfaces?
David From Atlanta ai think it could be a brass bristled brush but I'm not 100%
That is not really restoring it's more like grinding all the age out of it.
nissanka007 Neglect*
nissanka007
Yes.
Still a good job thoo
Redundant comment is redundant
nissanka007 So when you wash your car, are you just washing the age off it? You clicked an axe restore video, what did you think he would be doing
looks good to me ! maybe Keep the makers mark but its your toy do it how you want it.
NOW THAT is 100% ARTISAN HAND WORK, NICE JOB !~
Beautiful!
The flash does pretty good work.
That was awesome!
Not totally sure I would call this an old axe restoration. But hey....it does look nice.
Good job....
Next time you scrub by hand with the wire brush put som wd40 on the axe then scrub works a lot better
PUTTING A MIRROR POLISH ON A TOOL THAT IS MEANT TO BE USED IS NOT “RESTORATION”
but with that said, goddamn does it look nice.
Nice work.
How did you clean up the inside where the handle goes??
Lenard Barton He sanded it
Ben Jones like with a drumel type of device?
Lenard Barton most of the time people use small rod shaped files
All you needed was distilled vinegar and some water
хорошая работа
Nicely done sir.
Your wife must love those hands of yours.
Can someone explain why they tap the bottom of the ax handle to get it into the head? This doesn't make sense.
NiftyTheLynx gravity
NiftyTheLynx the thrust x acceleration x gravity causes it to drive the handle into the axe head
Levi Tv - inertia, aham aham...
It forces it on in a more even manner than hitting the top of the head
I hope your grandchildren appreciate your work and don't throw it away in the rubbish bin.
