I just found a 1952 Elwell 5122 handheld fireman's axe. It is a rusty old thing. Perhaps some attention to it may be of merit. It does have an attractive form to it. It is likely not worth much. But finding something this old is rather a treasure to me, whether it is worth little or a lot.
Sounds like a great find, and definitely worth the effort and attention to restore it! The financial worth has no matter really, the process is worth it.
@@HelloAdam_ I have the same Axe you see, it has a wobley head so I was looking at videos how to fix it and came accross your video.. It was just wonderful to watch.
Thanks, I appreciate that. Sometimes after cold bluing steel you can get bad flash rust, so a soak in the oil will prevent that from happening and give the workpiece a nice protective coating.
Great History ,wonderfull work, greetings from Ecuador mu friend
Thank you very much, Gustavo!

Nice job, what was the purpose behind the vegetable oil soak?

No testing?!
I know 😩 It is something I’m going to doing at the end of my future videos!
Nice job but those belts run to fast for sharpening. Ruins the temper!
Thanks John, I’ll bare that in mind for future projects.
