I would like to try this on an old double head axe. Can you tell me where you buy the flap wheels and polishing compound and buffing wheels. Thanks

When I get bored, or angry, or I just having anxiety, I polish metal things. It brings my mind back in tune, the Ax head Looks beautiful

I can understand that peace it can bring. I'm still working on a 10" double bit axe that has over 120 hrs involved with hand filing, polishing the head and the work on the handle. Still a good bit before I finish it out. All the hours are a great escape from the daily rat race. Polish away jojojeep1

I found my great uncles axe after it sat in a (not too watertight) shed for nearly 30 years. I used it to chop some stump roots as it was - rusty and blunt. I came online to see what could be done, and saw your video...wow.....phenomenal job...great video thanks for posting

Excellent job getting that mirror finish. This is the best video so far I've found on the subject recently.

I admire the patience and attention to detail involved, but even that beautiful mirror finish can't distract from those flaws in the edge. Of course it's easy for me to be a Monday morning quarterback. Keep up the beautiful work.

That’s how it’s done! Brilliantly chilled approach. Thank you for the guidance

That axe is a beaut. Thank you for your time and effort in making the video so we could learn from you.

Wow, you Polish people know how to make a Axe shine!!!!

Polish know how to polish !

I have recently completely restored a couple of broad axes that were very badly rusted i started with a 9 inch grinder and worked down to grinding flap wheels and finally 1200 paper then buffing compound i found the finish you get depends on how much you are willing to sweat and your attention to detail. After all the hard work they are only ever going to be a wall hangers and i keep the mirror finish by spraying it with a clear metal lacquer - Rust Guard - Clear Guard I found it with the metal protecting spray cans at a hardware store here in Australia I spray it on all my shiny wall mounted saws guns and axes sprayed the wife's silver platter over 10 years ago and its still perfect. Keep shining Cheers.

"After all the hard work they are only ever going to be a wall hangers..." that's exactly what I thought of, while watching this video, after so much effort nobody would ever want to use this axe again :D :D

Brilliant video, especially when you say how long it takes. So many vids never say how long things take..could be 5 mins or 5 hrs!! Inspired me to go to a boot sale, bought a rusty old club hammer for a quid with no handle. Polished it like a mirror, and made a new fat oak handle. Dead chuffed....many thanks for a great video

A tip: use different angles for each sandpaper grit size. You can immediately see if you're done getting out the scratches of the courser grit.

@@noonagon1 I agree with you even though everyone has there own way I guess, but I always go in one direction weather I'm sanding wood going with the grain or if I'm sanding metal. Anytime I tried to switch directions I got very poor results

That's beautiful. You did a wonderful job on that. Thanks for sharing !

most competition loggers have axes all polished up and razor sharp.good save on that head.

very nice finish... inspired me to take some of my resto projects to a new level👍

Sir, before a preventable accident happens to you, please anchor your polish-grinder appropriately. Other than that drawback, great job produced and great video overall.

Great Video Sir, Thank you very much for sharing it with us, I just followed your example and but a fantastic Mirror finish on my Becker BK2 and my Gransfor Bruks Axe

That's sweet to be able to finish metal like that. The demonstration was great.

Great video! I’ve been polishing some metals and this video gave me a good idea on how to get a shinier finish on my metal

Great job on cleaning up that axe head it looks great Cheers Tim from Wood 4 Nothing

Great work! Looks fantastic!

Finally, someone who understands the polishing makes it slide on wood better.

Excellent video very well done and explained. Thanks.

With each change of grit go at right angles. Makes it easy to see scratches that still have to come out.

Merci! I now see where I went wrong I needed to sand more with higher grit paper before going to the buffing wheel. Guess another trip to Princess Auto

Great video & very impressive work

Beautiful job buddy, thanks for video.

Thanks for the video great information :) .... I found a old rusty axe head in a field where I walk my dog I did some research and it's a minors deputy axe which makes sense as I live in a mining town in North East England (Northumberland) although the mine closed in the early 70s. I intend to restore it and donate to the local mining museum (woodhorn ashington) .. I have resorted a few rusty knifes but never a axe can't wait to get started. Picked up a few tips from this video thanks :)

Very well done. going to give this a try myself.

Looks great! Bolt down that grinder.

Nice job,looks great!

Excellent job 👏

At 5:00 you are definitely correct as that happened to me this week! I thought I went over it good enough through 240 grit so when I hit it with 400 grit I found out that nope, all the lines were left and I had to go back down to 120 then 240 to correct it.

Awesome work

Nice job, great video

Thank you for sharing your skills 🙏

Nice work!

That is one hell of a polishing job

Great job!! Now let's see the handle installation! :)

great shine on that axe! (just kept wanting you to fix that wheel to the bench!).

Beautiful shine, it looks like jewelery.

That looks amazing

Wow! Learned a lot. Tks

Nice, I have some golf clubs that I found stored in the shed and they are still oiled and shiny. Then I remembered 4 yrs ago I had cleaned the rust off, polished then oiled them.

Woooow 😲 that is what I call Mirror polish 👏👏👏

Beautiful job 👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍 wow

Beautiful. Like a piece of jewelry. I imagine it would glide through wood with that smooth mirror polish. The only down side is one would be apprehensive to use their axe when it is so pretty & especially after all the time invested getting it to this point.

Most restoration videos on KZread don't do the mirror polish. I think that's a shame, nothing like a mirror polish on a tool. Good job!
