Someone from the fire dept got in touch the other day (I think the chief) to thank me and see if I wanted to feature in their magazine, (I like to stay anonymous so I declined and said to take any stills they want from the video). They are debating where to hang it as my local station doesn't have a public reception. They are most likely going to hang it at their training facility which has the biggest footfall. I thanked him for his kind words and said we all like recognition for the hard work we do, and that is what the axe symbolizes from a member of the local community.

Just what i was thinking !!!

My grandfather left me an American-made ax. and I'm keeping it as a very valuable keepsake. I once heard my grandfather say that ash wood was an excellent choice for the ax handle, but now that he's passed away... this video gives gives me many experiences and reminds me. thank you. Now I always keep the ax blade as a keepsake. also i will use it in the future. Your video is very helpful for ax enthusiasts.☺

Great job. By pure coincidence, earlier today I found my exact same axe that I received from my late father, after about 10 years stored away in an old trunk. It is in a good condition and with handle still intact, but you have inspired me to restore it, and I might follow your build. Nice touch on the plaque to remember the plague.

Its difficult to find the quality of vintage tools anymore. Amazing recycling 👏👏👏

Man, great work and a righteous donation to the Merseyside Brigade. You didn't countersink the brass wood screws (Total Fail) a rank amateur move. I'm stunned you left the screw heads protruding. Never do that again on any project. The guy below is correct, mind your fingers.

Very nice restoration mate. Funnily enough I had one of those exact fire axes with the side handles, and did a restore job myself. Does come up shiny! Wish you had done this before I did mine though, I would have done some things differently. Mine had a problem that there was a split down the centre, as if the head was cast in two parts. I expect it just had a hard life. Unfortunately I do not have the facilities to weld it so I was forced to use a little resin to bond things a bit more than relying on just the friction and the side straps. Was a very satisfying first attempt at a restoration though.

Very nice!

This not a Fire Axe It is a scaffolders axe from the days of fir pole scaffolding The blade is for notching or facing the round of the poles to extend ,brace or ledge. If you look at far east (Asia,) bamboo scaffolding you get the idea. the point is for twisting up the relatively soft wire which bonded it all together. Steeltube scaffolding came into common use in the uk only from about 1936 onwards but regional builders continued into the 50's errecting there own firpole scaffold as required (it was cheap) These tools ended up in every domestic coal shed ,I have seen proably 100 in they are still not an uncommon find .Brades were w famous Sheffield tool company for roofing tools in paticulat ..Lath hammers ( actualy what it says) but favoured by slaters&tilers ,peck hammers,slate rips .Real tools of true quality.! I am 70semit retired but still use these tradesmans tools occasionaly. .When a firpole scaffold was errected on a pavement long narrow tubs were use to plant the standards in ( uprights) and filled around with sand or soil ,rather like a xmas tree in your living room in years gone by. The nick name for these/this was post holes=The tubs could be wicker or even cooper made somtimes parallel or bulbous at the centre about 3ft high x18inches wide..Pudlocks were often rough sawn 5x3 inch scaffold boarding much the same diamentions as todays standard boards

As most people think they have somthing to do with Fireman Sam they make about £8 --£10 on market stalls selling 2nd hand tools. The last one I spotted in Machynlleth earlier this year and the stall holder thought it should have gone with a brass helmet. I saw one in Saffron Walden saturday market 2 years ago ,in fact the vendor knew exactly what it was! They are more common in the Sth east,more chimney pots more fir pole scaffold way back when. Unless you intend scaffolding with firpoles ,they not much use for anything else not even preparing morning wood,unless of course you like dressing up and pretending to be a Victorian Fireman!

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it 😄 . No particular reason for the aluminium other than aesthetic. I like to push my abilities, thats the only way we grow I suppose. I have never laminated with aluminium before, or used epoxy glue, or made an axe handle for that matter, all good learning experiences! 🤞

That was a truly lovely thing you did, I at least appreciate it. I joined the London Fire Brigade in 1977 and at that time we were issued a personal fire axe which we wore at all times. I still have mine. Its a little worse for wear but I am sure I could with a little work get it back to looking good again. I have often thought of doing that and somehow mounting it on a wall or giving it to my son who is a second generation firefighter as they are now called. I was wondering once cleaned up what to put on it to preserve it from rust etc? I hasten to add that we were issued with a small piece of chain mail that we used to clean our axe heads with, just constant rubbing with it, wish I still had it. They came up a treat, all shiny with no scratch marks. Regards Chris.

I’m glad you liked my video, I loved hearing about your issued fire axe, in terms of keeping it rust free you can rub it down every now and again with a light machine oil or WD 40, however I would be tempted to give it a spray with a clear coat (you can get it at Halfords) and that will give a longer lasting protection as long as it’s not used. Good luck with it! 👍

The handle should be Ash to be authentic.

bad work in some details the handle doesnt fits well on the top of the axe there is a gab between the wood and the metal ...the medaile at the bottom is placed in a hole which is drilled to big... and the sign on the burned plate is screwd with countersunk head screws without countersink inthe sign instead using flat round head screws
