I would look at various leather working suppliers for a new source of brass Chicago screws. Weaver leather supply has some good looking ones. Your results on these look good, but aluminum sure seems soft for fasteners.

I definitely want one but can't afford. Such amazing prices of art and unrivaled craftsmanship in a functional tool

You may want to consider a satin clear coat on those screws as the patina while it looks good in colour is actually not particularly durable against rubs

That’s pretty neat, alchemy prevails!! I love Chicago screws, nice clean look on both sides. Great vid 👍

I love stuff like this, Tim. It was a fun video!

Very nice job timmothy. Very nice video. This turned out very well there. Can't wait to see more videos soon Timothy. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep forge lit. Forge on. Weld on. Fab on. Keep making. God bless.

Darn fine job Timothy. Hey Martin.

Quick tip. Use a dipper with holes in it so you don’t mix the solutions.

oddly satisfying when you were sorting on timelapse. Great job on these axes!

This style of fastener is commonly referred to as a "sex bolt". Perhaps searching for Sec Bolts may help you find what you need!

For the price point I would like to see solid brass, not a thinly coated easily scratched aluminum

Thank You Tim for the offer on an axe. The problems would arise as said item goes through Her Majesty Customs Revenue and Excise (HMRC) here in the UK. Wood box, wood shavings, and a nice big lump of sharpened iron. Let one of your good fellows on that side of the pond have the enjoy your fine professional refinery. Good vid. Thank You. M

I've never had any problems importing tools to or from the uk. Australia is tricky, but uk no worries

Aren't brass Chicago screws fairly common?

You should make a little dipper basket, out of a screen or something.

Hi Tim :) i hope you and Martin are doing well!

Amazon has all kinds.

Still jealous of the boxes as an axe owner :) But I noticed the patina is pretty easy to scratch with the screwdriver…. maybe some sort of anodizing process to toughen it up?

Maybe we should ask Tim if we can just order the boxes! I want one for my axe!

Either coat the screws or the driver so you don’t scratch off the color.

I wonder how that would take on a polished aluminum rifle receiver.

Yo. Early release today

That was funny 😄

why not getting brass screws in the first place and avoid all that work? It is nice but time consuming!

maybe get some vibrator abrasive triangles to add the wear you want without sand and use a mesh strainer to rinse.

you could just heat them up with a torch and hit them with a brass brush too.

Wouldn't work on aluminum.. If he managed to find steel Chicago screws they could be brassed in that manner though.

Tim, have you ever thought about making a Damascus ax? I don't know if it works for an ax, but it would be killer-looking if it would work...

Will scratch easily

You can just leave mine aluminum-- I don't mind.

for the algo

You should try to make transparent aluminum and forge it into something.

What are you talking about... ALON is expensive and cannot be forged. LMAO its a mix of Aluminum, Nitrogen, and Oxygen pressed together under extreme heat and pressure to make a block.

Going from brass to aluminium is a sad decision I must say

⭐🙂👍

with what you do i am surprised you haven't got a screw press yet, brass is about %80 copper and %20 aluminum. copper sulfate will just stick to that no problem and turn it coppery, that mix might stick better and look better after.

There's aluminium bronze, which is copper and tin with a tiny amount of aluminium, brass is copper and zinc

Why not just get brass Chicago screws? This seems like a horribly inefficient method for the result you are trying to get
