Thank you for not sanding down the metal till the indents went away, welding is much better. Also, why did you decide to keep the cross pattern on the top screws despite them not being original?
If this was really a Russian axe from 1916, there's a good chance it might have seen some, um... action in anger. Dunno' if the rest of us out here in viewer land can follow in your footsteps with a laser engraver, but I doubt we can follow in your footsteps in many of the other steps you've shown us, either! Awesome job! Oh .. one question: did you ever weigh the finished axe head?
This stopped being a restoration the minute you cut the distinctive curve of the cleaver, you should have just saved yourself time and purchase a brand new one.
As always, fantastic attention to detail and precise restoration of a valuable piece of history, I love every minute of your antique restoration and the care taken. Nice to see 'Old Hand' participation in the process. Thank you for sharing your skills with your followers 😃
anyone else notice that he messed up by adding a bolt to the body on the side with the hook? It's supposed to be a pin that can be removed so the vise can open to accommodate longer pipes.
OMG! I lose my lunch whenever I see or hear the name Richard Nixon. How about noting that 1971 was also the year of the large anti-war protests from May 3-5, which shut down Washington, DC with over 12,000 people arrested, the largest mass arrest in U.S. history. Anti-war protests warm my heart; Richard Nixon chills my bones.
Last minute of video: Xhibit: "Yo dawg, we heard you like vises, so we got you a vise that you can put in your vise." (Sorry about the bad play on words, and obscure meme reference. You might say it was my personal vice.)
Absolutely gorgeous restoration as always. I love the solutions you have to create the original look, but the functionality of being able to disassemble if necessary. I'm not familiar with this vice, what is the hook on the side used for?
Übrigens haben du und My Mechanics mich mit euren Videos so verwöhnt, dass praktisch kaum ein anderer Restaurierungskanal eine wirkliche Chance hat. 🤣 Ich leide höchstens und denke beim Anschauen: "Mensch, mach doch die Gussmarken weg!" "Wieso feilst du die Kanten nicht ab und rundest die Ecken nicht?" "Hey, da müssen doch die vielen Macken gefüllt werden." "Wie bitte? Ohne Grundierung geht das ja mal gar nicht." Kurz: Mein innerer Monk dreht bei schlechten Kanälen frei.
Exciting news! The inclusion of Rose number [419] beautifully symbolizes our collaborative efforts in this creative garden at CoinEra. Let's continue nurturing this shared space together! 🌹🌷🌼 Thank you for being an integral part of it! 😊💖
I have a genuine question. No sarcasm. Genuinely want to learn. All I know about smithing comes from the internet, but I cannot find why you cut off the handle and forged the 2 parts separately and then welded them back together again. Would it not have been easier to just keep the whole thing in 1 piece??
