  • In this video I restored an old and rusty hatchet and I made some custom to it, called "snake skin". The outcome is priceless , enjoy the video !!
    About restoration video :
    I bought this hatchet in order to restore it and the price was 10 euro/12$. The time of restoration was three weeks for physical work , filming and editing and the total price for this restoration project was around $60.
    About restoration project:
    I start the restoration by removing the old handle then I sandblasted the proper hatchet. After sandblasting I saw that was too many pits on the metal and I decided to make a small custom because a complete polishing would have meant losing a lot of material. After I restored the metal I start doing a new handle for the hatchet. I worked to many hours on this restoration videos but the outcome was priceless.
    I like very much this restoration project and I hope also you have the same opinion.

    I was almost not going to watch this video, because it’s another axe. There’s only so many I can handle. I’m glad I did watch this though. That was outstanding work mate. I especially loved the snakeskin look. 👍🇦🇺

    @dougbright8120 Před rokem +4

    Nice job!
    I spend a lot of time in the bush here in Oz. There are old tools from prospectors all over the place, particularly in the gold fields. Some of them have been lying in the dust and mud since 1898, around the time of the first gold rushes, sometimes even earlier. Old picks, mattocks, pick-axes, hatchets and axes. Shovels are thinner and usually rusted and worn out and pretty useless. With the heavier metal tools, I actually like them as unrestored as I can keep them, excepting repairing edges, heads and points.
    The absolute best de-rusting is at an atomic level, by electrolysis. It only takes away the rust and no clean metal is ground or polished away. They seem to have acquired an exceptional hardness from years of baking in ground temperatures up to 50C in summers; either that or they were good steel to begin with.
    I get them back to a nice red-brown patina with all the inherited pits by electrolysis, and without sanding and grinding except for points and edges, which I grind by hand. Then a spot of oil and a new handle and they are done and are scattered all over the house as ornaments which have a practical use as well as talking points.

    The key to restoring a tool is knowing how it was made, and what it was used for. An axe is a simple thing, but many of the things done here have removed functionality. Granted, it was in the scrap pile, it was designed to do certain tasks that it can no longer do.

    I too almost didn’t watch this, but, I am very glad I did. I thought the Drexel grind on the sides is just super danged fine. I’ve still got my dads hatchet and you gave me some great ideas for that restoration. I’ll even give you a high five and subscribe! Thanks for posting and sharing! Uh, uh, uh, great handle toooo!
