Absolutely beautiful job Tim. Can't wait to see more videos soon my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend timmothy. Forge on. Keep forge lit. Keep making. God bless.
Beautiful Axes Tim and Martin! Try a wire brush in combination with the Evaporust during the soak, you can get the same result in about 30 minutes as you got letting them soak for 48hrs, that stuff is magic in a bottle
It is so crazy, I was thinking about how an axe head would look blued when you were showing them off at the start. Almost like you read my mind in your future... I have heard from many people that a paintbrush is the best way to apply bluing.
Totally agree. Looks like a fine bow tie to be worn to a black tie event, but hung on a handle to chop down only the finest of Christmas trees and service the finest of forestry upkeep. A gentleman's double bit, for sure. Either that, or the most aerodynamic zombie slayer around.
Man, something stirred in me seeing that Plumb all hung and finished. Too bad it's sold (and I couldn't afford it anyway). Congrats to the person who snagged that beauty. I'll have to admit, I'm jealous.
Stumbled across your channel and have been watching when I can. You are doing some nice work! Keep it up both of you. From an Aussie perspective, in my era we lost a lot of the Blacksmith traditions (although it is becoming very popular now to reinvigorate the methods). But, from this video. I loved the Pulaski? I personally would have adapted the dual purpose and utilised axe and modified to an adze. What a tremendous tool that would be...
OMG!!! I want that Pulaski. Its the direct forest fire equivalent to the hall khan multi tool urban firefighters use all over the world. True piece of axe history AND true piece of firefighter history.
Excellent and beautiful work for the both of you :)) I would like to have seen at least one of the axe heads finished with the hot linseed oil, old time blacksmith finish. Martin deserves to have one of these for all of his amazing work. Of course...You should gift yourself one too ❤
That " rafter " is actually a very late production Michigan pattern, made by the Mann edge tool co in the 80's. It's not a particularly high quality axe, but better than the India and Mexico crap made today. For some reason this is what the Michigan pattern has morphed into. The pulaski was made by Council tool, and is probably not very old. It's identical to those they currently make for the United states Forrest service , they very likely still supply them to your forestry service up there in Canada too.
I have a true temper boyscout hatchet I've had for almost 20 years. It was a welcome to the troop gift from the scout master. Never has to replace the handle or fix anything. Just a reprofile about every 5 years to remove deep rust on the small flat surfaces. Probably lost a good pound since I got it. I keep the blade wrapped in an oil soaked cloth when I don't use it. Maybe twice a year.
After watching your last series I cleaned out my shed and found a dozen or so axe heads . all shapes and sizes , some made in USA . ENGLAND . GERMANY. but mostly made here in Australia . Maybe one day I will get around to fixing them up . Cheers . :)
I found and restored 6 axes around my place during last years severe locdown here in Oz. My main hassle was finding suitable handles as the general H/W stores only had rubbish and even from Blackwoods, weren't much better. One was a Canadian axe.
Tim, Just a suggestion, have a look at My Mechanics videos where he does a mirror finish restoration, Would love to see a double bit (that may have the name worn off) done in this manner, Then blued. Fantastic videos, keep them coming.
If you boil or steam rusty steel for a few hours it converts the iron III oxide to iron 4 oxide. It's called rust blueing and mark Novak has a detailed video on it.
I'm surprised that there are so many swedish axes in canada. (Yes I'm from sweden) I have ofc always used swedish axes because that's what's available here. But I did'nt know that the swedish steel is so widely spread across the atlantic.
I have my grandfather’s Nott clipper double biter ax it has the original handle which is a fawns foot handle ,Have been told that the fawns foot was never made for a double bitedmax
Hey guys. Would be interesting if you could say some more words about the use of these different shapes like if this shape is better for splitting or chopping etc. Nevertheless love your channel and content.
I’m going to be making an axe for my dad some time this or next month. I don’t have a press or power hammer. Do you have any tips for punching the eye out? Also, that double head gun blued axe looks absolutely amazing!
I love the work you guys are doing. They are beautiful axes. But I cannot believe how much you are asking for these axes when you are just doing a refurbish and aren’t even putting a metal cross wedge in the heads.
I was just at my father's house snooping around his garage and found 4 old wooden milk crates full of ax heads 6 double bit true tempers a bunch of single true temper and some long head bits with these spikes on back don't know if there wildland ax or fire fighter some Pulaski and then some random Hatchet heads. Asked bucking Billy years ago if I sent them and paid would he hang em. Nope still in crates
The price you’re asking is absolutely INSANE. But good for you for the sales you’ve made. It’s crazy that you’re finding a market for these at a 500/600 dollar price range. It blows my mind that people have the money to spend like this on an old axe. I guess some people have more money than they know what to do with. If only they knew they could eBay any of these for under 50 bucks lol.
@@scottyydo it’s still cool to see him restore them to their former glory. I wish I could be there to educate him on the axes before he posts the video.
those axes look so beautiful when you're finished with em. so impressive
Hey I heard you get mentioned in an alec steel video about how you made a damascus zippo case. So awsome.
Here's the link,

Love these restoration videos! Please save some more poor old axes!
Sadly, we live in an apartment so we have no need for an axe. But the day we do, you are the man! And so is Martin!
That Hutls Bruk and Wetterlings make me feel things. Amazing restos.
Absolutely beautiful job Tim. Can't wait to see more videos soon my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend timmothy. Forge on. Keep forge lit. Keep making. God bless.

Super fun restorations! Love how they came out, great work Tim
I love seeing a new guy in the axe restoration world
YES I WANT ONE!! Also want to find a nice head and send it in. Saw that. Also more than I can afford as a single dad.
Keep it up dude!! Love ya work
It is so crazy, I was thinking about how an axe head would look blued when you were showing them off at the start. Almost like you read my mind in your future... I have heard from many people that a paintbrush is the best way to apply bluing.
Those axe handles are *art*, dude.
That double bit plumb is definitely the best of the lot.
Totally agree. Looks like a fine bow tie to be worn to a black tie event, but hung on a handle to chop down only the finest of Christmas trees and service the finest of forestry upkeep.
A gentleman's double bit, for sure.
Either that, or the most aerodynamic zombie slayer around.
I have a plumb cruiser that I love but that welland vale made by true is much rarer. I want a welland vale puget sound pattern
You did it! Gun blued it! I love the look, Tim!
Man, something stirred in me seeing that Plumb all hung and finished. Too bad it's sold (and I couldn't afford it anyway). Congrats to the person who snagged that beauty. I'll have to admit, I'm jealous.
And you're correct. Once a forest fire is "out" the soils all turned and watered to prevent flash restarts.
Oh wow there’s something about a big blued double bit axe that just looks right. Love that 4 pound hultsbruk too, sweet piece!!!

Hi Tim. Try preheating the axe head with a heat gun. It really speeds up the process and makes a real dark finish.
That " rafter " is actually a very late production Michigan pattern, made by the Mann edge tool co in the 80's.
It's not a particularly high quality axe, but better than the India and Mexico crap made today.

a hatchet only weighs 1¼ so I doubt you lost a pound taking rust off lol. just messing w you. God bless
Very fun watching these. Loving it!
It's a toss up for me between the true temper and the plumb on which is my fav, they're all so beautiful!
I do believe that Collins is a Homestead Michigan pattern tim. rafters have much larger poles than that 😁👍 love the video buddy
the Pulaski is a council tool Pulaski 👍😁
Would be interesting to see you do a run of painted axes. Heads. Maybe handles too?
Great vid. thanks.
Love your vids man every time a blast🤩
looove the rafting patterns. i got a few of em
You should do a Q&A with Martin. I'm sure everyone would like to get to know him a little more :)

I love the channel and both of you and it really gets me everytime you laugh on the inhale.
Take care
They made those true temper axes in my hometown of Charleston WV, always been my favorite
I would get hung up and strung in the UK fir having an axe, never mind sent jn the post. Excellent.
Tim, Just a suggestion, have a look at My Mechanics videos where he does a mirror finish restoration, Would love to see a double bit (that may have the name worn off) done in this manner, Then blued.

If I may ask ? who do you buy your 1/4 sawn hickory from , I could really use 3 or 4 , 8' boards for a walking cane project I have been planning ???
If you heat those to about 200 degrees they will take the blue even better beautiful axes all great video see you on the next one
My life is not complete, but neither is my bank account. That blueing looks great on there.
OHHH YERRRR!!!!
I'm surprised that there are so many swedish axes in canada. (Yes I'm from sweden) I have ofc always used swedish axes because that's what's available here. But I did'nt know that the swedish steel is so widely spread across the atlantic.
I think you should design (and make) a really mean looking axe and call it the Dyckhead.
I have my grandfather’s Nott clipper double biter ax it has the original handle which is a fawns foot handle ,Have been told that the fawns foot was never made for a double bitedmax
its called a Adirondack handle. its either that or the original handle broke and somebody put a single bit handle bc thats all they had.
Ack, make more Pulaski’s!!
Hey guys. Would be interesting if you could say some more words about the use of these different shapes like if this shape is better for splitting or chopping etc.

Yes sir
GG. Early squad.

Get a friend to help with striking, bribe them with pizza and beer^^
👍👍🍻
Oh man I wish I could buy the true temper
I love the work you guys are doing. They are beautiful axes. But I cannot believe how much you are asking for these axes when you are just doing a refurbish and aren’t even putting a metal cross wedge in the heads.
I don’t think the Collins’s is a rafter, if it was it would most likely have a hardened poll, it looks more like a regular Michigan pattern.
My life is missing out. One day, I will… one day
What makes them so expensive?
I was just at my father's house snooping around his garage and found 4 old wooden milk crates full of ax heads 6 double bit true tempers a bunch of single true temper and some long head bits with these spikes on back don't know if there wildland ax or fire fighter some Pulaski and then some random
Hatchet heads. Asked bucking Billy years ago if I sent them and paid would he hang em. Nope still in crates
Send me an email. Info@timothydyck.com. Sounds interesting. Lets talk. 😊
⭐🙂👍
Make me the axe from krull !!
A patina made from paint? Could call it a Paintina.
The price you’re asking is absolutely INSANE. But good for you for the sales you’ve made. It’s crazy that you’re finding a market for these at a 500/600 dollar price range. It blows my mind that people have the money to spend like this on an old axe. I guess some people have more money than they know what to do with. If only they knew they could eBay any of these for under 50 bucks lol.
That doesn’t look like the rafting pattern I know. On that Collins
You are right, it is a Michigan...
@@scottyydo it’s still cool to see him restore them to their former glory. I wish I could be there to educate him on the axes before he posts the video.
Yo
Nice
Man why would you blue these :(
What is “insane” about any of these axes?
