Restoring my Grandfather's Old Hatchet

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I found this when were moving out of our old shop and into the new one. It's my grandfather's old hatchet that was sitting back by all of the gardening equipment. The handle was about to fall off and the stand/holder thing seemed kinda janky to me.

    If I were your Grandfather, I would be very thrilled and proud that you would take the time to restore/refurbish one of my tools, nicely done sir. Thank you for the video.

    This is an old school framing hatchet, as opposed to an axe. The "nog" is for pulling nails, axes don't have these nogs. We used these hatchets in place of hammers, up until the early 80's. Also similar to roofing hatchets, which would add holes along the top straight edge for shingle spacers.

    Great job. A few things I really liked about this resto and one tool suggestion. I like that you took the time on a hatchet that was born to be a cheap workhorse in somebody's garage. I like that you didn't give it a mirror polish, but instead gave it a good looking, practical finish. I like that you didn't feel pressured to cut and shape your own handle, there's nothing wrong with a store-bought handle, and you spiffed it up nice and correct. My suggestion is on the removal of the finish that came on it: a card scraper would make short work of that instead of sandpaper. Once again, great job, I really enjoyed this.

    Despite the many mentions of this tool being an axe, I still possess a near identical tool that I inherited from my father, who was a builder and roofer for most of his life. He always called it his slating hammer and when I once offered to put a sharp edge on the blade, he told me to never sharpen it, as it was supposed to be a rounded edge and be used to create assorted shapes and sizes from plain rectangular stone roofing slates as required for decorative patterns on roofs. He would use the same tool for different types of slates from the usual Welsh blue slates and the Cumberland green slates to the older more locally sourced Riven Yorkshire Sandstone slabs and even occasionally he worked with Cornish random slates (which he always described as a miserable flaky stone to work with).
