But also how much experience does he have to make the TIG weld look beautiful. 🤷🏻‍♂️ It's not easy.

I immediately wrote a scene in my head where some CEO has this thing behind his desk on the wall, and everyone thinks it's just beautiful and purely ceremonial. And then he's giving some angry speech about falling profits and the need to cut away the dead wood, and actually takes the axe off the wall and bisects a piece of wood on his desk. Everyone wtfs-out and fires people and works harder and such. MyMechanics could sell this for big, big money.

Thank you very much :-)

Rio de Janeiro- Brasil. Você é o gênio das restaurações. Ficou incrível. Parabéns...

I can only imagine that the guy who once swung that axe to save people from burning buildings would be incredibly pleased to see his old axe given this much love and care. Fantastic work, as always!

Seems like the kind of thing they give that person when they retire.

But would probably scartch his head why his rescue mission marks (I can only assume it is that) were removed from the metal.

This is art - restoring rusty objects to a level of super-perfection. End result is marvelous.

Such a beautiful restoration. I think my favorite bit, however, is seeing just how *clean* that etching is! I was totally expecting it to have fuzzier edges. Guess it was a really good and thick sticker material.

Yep, it is extremely high quality: Vinyl. Also, I think he practices numerous times before attempting anything (Like the tires he made): His dedication to perfection is awesome

Yeah, indeed. was my second etch, you can see the first try on my Instagram. But yeah, please don't talk about those tires haha. I had so much trouble until I was successful.

Amazing what you did with that axe!!! It is an awesome piece, and you are definitely gifted!!!

i find it really cool how you etched the words inyo the axe. ive never seen someone do it like that

My mind wanders to the history of each used thing: Who used it? When? What was their relationship to the item? Was it a gift? How much out of their income did this item take a bite out of? Was it bought locally or ordered? How long did they own it? Did they pass it down to someone? What was the life of the user like? Did they use this exclusively at their work or home? So many questions...😊 Great work! It is such a treat to watch you do your thing. Thank you

And one question that usually pops up in my mind are: How did it end up where it was found? I want to have a superpower to rewind time just so I can look at a thing that's really old and forgotten and se when it was last touched or used.

That's exactly what it is about, why every single one of those restauration job is worth being done.

Amazing and concise experiment with metal hardness, I learned more in four minutes than in a month at school!

My pleasure, thanks for watching!

my mechanics is by far the absolute gold, no Diamond standard when it comes to repair and restoration on KZread, and I'd dare say anywhere else. Just absolute perfection on everything he does, truly amazing, the peak of craftsmanship.

Wow! Absolutely beautiful. My grandfather was an FDNY firefighter, he would have loved this.

One of the best restoration I’m ever seen….well done, lad

Another 'first class' result. Thank you for sharing !

That "Victoria" Was INCREDIBLE!!!

Ich habe mir bereits hunderte solche Videos angeschaut, weil ich mir das ganze gerne selbst beibringen möchte und das ganze als Hobby betreiben. Dieser Kanal ist einfach nur der Hammer von allen auf KZread. Wirklich SUPER! Weiter so. Man kann wirklich einiges lernen.

his restorations have no business being this beautiful. Yet they are!!!
