I really like the design of the axe head. I found an old half rust eaten hewing axe head from the 1800s in my dad's backyard in Bremerton, WA. A few YT videos later and a couple gallons of vinegar and some TLC, now it hangs as an awesome piece of art in my brother's house with a red cedar bark frame and a curly maple handle. Just do it👍

Sound interesting with your axe, thank for sharing!

I have got to go to the he recycling shop he goes to. USD 3 for an axe head?! Good find and great restoration.

It would never have been that shiny when it was new. And I agree with alot of others about grinding off the makers mark.

Bet an Indian back in the olden days would've loved to have that !!

Very super nice, beautiful, fantastic, handy, out of this world little bearded axe be respectful with it🤘🤘🤘🤘🇧🇪 gods of Valhalla would be proud of you! Raise your horn to the sky thank Odin and say skäl!

it is a Japanese bearded axe, not a Scandinavian one

Bearded axes are really cool looking.

Love the work, but why grind off the makers mark?

very good restoration, and very nice axe, also before the restoration already good

I cringed when the Maker's Mark got nearly ground and buffed off the axe... Ouch! It did clean up well though, I'd have treated the Maker's Mark differently.

You really triggered my interest in this hobby. ⚔️⛪️🇺🇸 🪓

You should use rust removers to not destroy the temper of the axe unless you use a wire wheel and then sand very lightly using the disc, I personally don't think you really destroyed the temper cause you sanded so lightly for the most part, oh and another tip is always glue a wooden wedge before inserting, it will stay inside better and make it a bit stronger too. A couple good rust removers are Krud Kutter and Evapo-rust

Well done. I'd almost be afraid to use it.

I don't know if the high polish finish is going a bit too far. See it in a lot of restoration videos and I think it makes the axe look cheap in some way. Perhaps a case of less is more here. There is a beauty in something looking forged or rustic.

In restoration videos they make it so shiny it doesn’t need to look like a mirror a more weathered look looks much better

This is so satisfying to watch

Good bye to a maker mark and the value of a nice pice of art!!! This guy love the grinder a lot 😵

You know it's a joke of a restoration when he used a hacksaw to cut off the old handle

Beautiful work

that's a beauty ! i'd love to have that in my collection ! excellent shape on the head . and japanese steel ? i want one !

🇷🇺 Золотые руки... Skillful fingers...

Beautifully updated,

Excellent...excellent job. The only comment I have is on the metal wedges. You used them wrong(imho). A softwood wedge is used in the handle slot and then. 1 metal wedge perpendicular to that.

Beautiful

Not as long as you dont over heat it, dip it in water as your grinding and you'll be fine. But also with axes since they're so thick you can grind constantly with light passes and be fine. Of course yeah if you get it over 400° F then yeah you can ruin the temper.

The axe's blade will don't move 👍

OMG I want this axe please!!!!!!

There is a desire to buy this axe

what oil did you use for the handle? it looked pretty thin, and would need a few coats but i really love the finish

Hi, how much does this axe cost?

2 minutes into the video and i am crying about this guys process loke wtf is wrong wirh this

very nice

Eu sou o único brasileiro que gosta desse tipo de vídeo?

That axe is now too beautiful to to be used! The markings should not have been partially removed, the axe maker's markings brings out the true value of the axe! Too much grinding and buffing!

good job

you guys who polish it up too look like a mirror......they are so pretty when it's done, I wouldn't want to get any pine tar on it...... kind of becomes a decorative piece instead of a usable axe.....

Superb restoration ! looks like a Japanese or Arab logo on the head ?

Dude, you ground it way too much. Wire wheel it to take off the surface rust, some cleaning of the eye and pull, new handle and a resharpen; done.
