Old German "Helko Werk" Axe Restoration with Laminated Palm Swell Handle

In this video I restored a German axe from "Helko Werk". I already restored an axe a year ago and I wasn't going to make another video about restoring another axe but the incredible work of a friend inspired me to create a handle for this axe very, very special.
So I started the restoration by disassembling the old handle. after inspecting the ax's head I decided to sandblasting it and electrolysis to remove any traces of rust. Restoration continued by repairing the hammered poll, made a new bevel and after that I applied a layer of bluing solution, for anti rusting. After cold bluing process, I removed from blackening with a steel wool and the head axe was completely restored.
The old handle was too damaged to be restored. I took a piece of Black Locust wood and I cutting it until I reached the desired shapes. As I said, I was inspired to make a custom handle and that's only because you voted on KZread community to make a custom handle. So, I took a piece of Oak wood and I laminated the palm swell. The results of this axe restoration impressed me and I hope you have the same opinion.
Let's not talk anymore and let the video amaze you.
I hope you like this restoration and if you have questions about part of the restoration process, I am at your disposal with answers to any questions.
Cheers and have a nice weekend !

    Very well done. I appreciate the camera quality and audio. At no point was there obnoxious music or exceedingly loud feedback from the tools. I really like the fact you didn't use any excessive material. Everything seemed to be calculated to use the perfect amount of consumables while maintaining a clean shop. I didnt realize how much I enjoyed that until I noticed it. Most importantly, you didn't artificially corrode something and try to pass it off as "ancient". I like your delivery and style.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again. These are the BEST restoration videos on youtube. Everything is perfect. From timestamping the videos to putting explanations of what you're doing, filming enough to be interesting but not too much so it's boring. Your videos are relaxing, organized, easy to follow and have everything I want in a restoration video. Other channels, although good, just don't do it as well as this one.

    Beautifully filmed. Precise restoration of this axe. This was the first time I saw this specific sharpening. Thickening the tip of the handle by gluing oak boards will prevent the ax from slipping during chopping. Good idea. Congratulations and best regards 😀.

    Finally NO mirror polish or viking engraving/bearded axe modification! Don't get me wrong, I have high respect for those who take the time to do these modifications, it's a lot of work. But i also like to see tools being restored to their original, working shape, something you would take to work and not be worried you would damage the finish you put on it. Nice job man!

    Watching you remove that wedge with your lovely wood chisel made me a little bit anxious! But I'm relaxed seeing no harm came to the chisel 🤣 A lesser mortal might have taken an angle grinder to that axe head - total respect to you for taking the craftsman's approach and using the file instead. And yes. I love the laminated hand swell with contrasting wood. Most beautiful!

    Thank you very much mate ! That chisel is only for that kind of jobs 😅 because it was cheap and I think is not hardened enough . After a single use in wood , the edge of the blade became dull quickly, so I took the decision to use it only in these dirty jobs 😅
