I couldn't pass up the challenge of an axe restoration project when I found this old, neglected axe head at our local market. At only $5 I thought it was worth a go! That was two years ago and it's taken me until now to tackle it. The handle was made out of a piece of reclaimed Jarrah which is a very hard Australian hardwood - I'm not sure of it's flexibility but I did a bit of a search and found that axe handles here have been made from it in the past. I don't have any Hickory or Ash so Jarrah was the best I had.
I also added a leather grip, that came out great considering I just went for it! I used an old belt to keep the reclaimed theme going.
It was kind of a big deal talking to the camera for the first time - we will see if it happens again!
Hope you enjoy the video and as always I'm happy to answer any questions. Please bare in mind I'm no axe handle expert but I've made a couple now and still learning.

the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. ru-vid.comUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

I wished I could get things done that quick!

@toddb8575 5 лет назад

Honestly one of the nicest restorations I've ever seen. Good work Pask!

@freddiedoyle472 5 лет назад

The beautiful reclaimed wood you have access to is insane, in my area it pallets and framing lumber for the most part

@brianfong5711 3 года назад

The Camphor Laurel, used in most videos, is an invasive species to Australia. They are fighting the invasion by cutting it down and making good use out of it. If you are in North America the Norway Maple would be our version of an invasive, don't know how good it is for wood working though. Ask Norway. Meanwhile our Sugar Maple is wreaking invasive havoc in Norway, but they get Maple Syrup from our tree, sorta like a bonus.

@MrTeacoffee 7 лет назад

Absolutely beautiful restoration, always love a handle thats curvy in all the right places. That being said there is a reason axes don't tend to have wraps on them. When you swing an axe your dominate hand slides from the head down to the bottom of the handle meeting your guiding hand. Which means you want a nice smooth surface to slide down, if every swing your hand suddenly stops at or runs over the leather you won't have a very happy hand. It might possibly work at the bottom of the handle where your guiding hand grips, as that hand does not move at all. Also you want the bit (cutting edge) of your axe to be somewhat rounded, as it was originally. This is so that when working close to the ground, splitting or limbing for example, the bit is thicker and less likely to chip. A very sharp and thin bit is to be used exclusively for felling, and a rounded bit for general work and use. That is why double bit axes have one felling bit, and one work bit. Thought you might want to share in the knowledge, keep up the good work!

@PaskMakes 7 лет назад

Wow what a great comment! Thank you! I can see what you're saying about the wrap - makes perfect sense. The reason I did the wrap was for aesthetics and it was something I wanted to try - to be honest I already have axes I use so this one will probably get very little use and hang on the wall. Interesting info on the cutting edge, especially the double bit axe. I've never had a double bit axe so never thought about how they work, makes sense. I'm not sure I changed the shape of the edge all that much though. Thanks again :)

@stevesteves8915 6 лет назад

Great channel! Not only do you do resurrection, you also do bringing back to life! That jarrah looks a lot better without the green paint, too!

@PaskMakes 6 лет назад

Thanks Steve! :)

@Eurley66 7 лет назад

It is so cool seeing someone put so much effort and attention into this kind of craftmanship. I was amazed by you ability to have both such a beautiful finished product and so much effort put into detail.

@thebareminimum9289 4 года назад

I kept saying to myself "why is he bothering with that? I have axe head in better shape that I'm not messing with!". Nine minutes and twenty four seconds later I'm absolutely amazed and thinking how beautiful! Thanks for sharing, it was my pleasure watching!

@kinleyfam 7 лет назад

That is one beautiful axe, you've done there. love the handle design, very good craftsmanship.

@PaskMakes 7 лет назад

Thank you very much!

@DwightMS1 7 лет назад

Old tools are always worth restoring, even if you have to put $200 of labor into a $20 item. It just feels right somehow.

@PaskMakes 7 лет назад

Yes I agree Dwight! I don't think of my time as labor when I'm doing something like this though, it's all pleasure. If I'm making something for someone then that's a different matter. :)

@Arcnat 6 лет назад

Heck I'd probably find s way to restore it fro $15. Vinegar for the rust and then some for preventing it from rusting again. Wood stuff I have a ton in my garage already

@flor33ntin 5 лет назад

Not to mention, that old iron will always be much more reliable than the one forged in our days.

@macdelttorres3366 5 лет назад

DwightMS1 ohh so true.... I bought an ax to restore and I put more time and materials than a new one would cost but, I’m proud of my work and best of all didn’t send it in the garbage

7 лет назад

For many people, this axe was definitely good for the garbage, but after restoration, it's now a wonderful tool ready for (at least) one century...nice job, thanks for sharing

@PaskMakes 7 лет назад

Thank you! I'm sure someone else may have fancied the challenge but 99.9% of people would not have given it a second look - it really was a mess!

@willieb76 4 года назад

Sometimes I think people thumbs down a video just because they can. This video was really cool, I love to see old items brought back to life!

@Justas0202 5 лет назад

Of all the axe restoration videos i have seen some one finally put a perpendicular metal wedge.

@baileysansone40 4 года назад

You don't need em

@VexChoccyMilk 4 года назад

@_ David _ All of the metal wedges I put in just split the grain of the axe handle, and somehow make it looser.

@Lukas-eq1ol 3 года назад

yeah but head is upside down so does it even matter?

@donfillenworth1721 5 лет назад

Wow! That’s a beautiful axe! Great job! I always enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing.

@CaseyHarrisSr 6 лет назад

What a great find Pask Makes was for me! Won an eBay Auction on a Broad Axe Hewing Head that is about 113 years old and browsing RU-vid for restoration lessons learned. Thank you for the share and I plan staying in touch, Casey

@PaskMakes 6 лет назад

@eliascarlsson6813 6 лет назад

The upside down head gave it a special look, wich is good because it's now unique compared to all the other axes☺️

@Arguskyrim 7 лет назад

@falanikonoga9631 6 лет назад

I will never use an axe in my life. I didn’t even know what a plumb ace was until now. I just love watching your restoration videos. Keep up the good work. 👍

@ratroddiesels1981 6 лет назад

it made me feel good to watch you fix that old axe new again . we need more men like you.

@t8tools300 7 лет назад

Very cool handle but the only problem is that the head looks like u mounted it upside down.

@PaskMakes 7 лет назад

Thanks! You may be right but I had good think about that and the eye was larger one end than the other, so I obviously put that at the top. Also the shape of the edge would have been too open pointing upwards. I did look at different style of heads on the net and found that there were some that looked right with the way I mounted it. I'm still not 100% but I think I got it the right way.

@firebird8600 7 лет назад

Pask Makes, All of my Plumb axes (3 of them) have their logo on the right face of the head, as such, I believe that yours is hung upside down. Still a beautiful axe, and a wonderful job on the handmade handle. I've just today found your channel, and have decided to subscribe.

@PaskMakes 7 лет назад

Thank you! I'm still not certain and it's good to have some more input, but that was something I thought about too and using google images I found Plumb axes with the logo on the right face and some on the left face. There did seem to be more the same as your three axes though. I still think overall I fitted it correctly as the edge would have been too open the other way, but as I said before I'm far from certain.

@firebird8600 7 лет назад

Pask Makes If this forum: www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/1066763-Plumb-Manufacturing-Thread is to be taken into account, then perhaps mine are a bit rarer than I thought. All of the ones on this forum seem to have the makers mark on the left side.

@moegreene5080 7 лет назад

Agreed that the head is on upside down. Having said that, very nice work and I wish I had your skills in the workshop.

@Lust4FunGirls 7 лет назад

Very nicely done, I wish I had your talent as I have a number of Plumb 3.5 lbs Champion heads, that was my Grandfather's choice and he was a representative!! By the way, don't pay any attention to those that try to tell you that you have put the head on up side down!!!

@PaskMakes 7 лет назад

Thank you very much! You should have a go at restoring those axes - it's a fun project. I'm still fairly confident I put the head on the right way - I've explained my reasonings in other comments.

@PaskMakes 7 лет назад

Thank you! I am now convinced you are right as there have been too many comments confirming this. I probably looked at too many images on google and saw on some what I thought was the beard of the axe on top. I'm still a little confused why the eye on my axe was tapered in what would be the wrong way though.

@billwessels207 7 лет назад

A famous Phoenecian mathemetician scholar once said that, "Genius is but the ability to focus on the task at hand." If you can do that you would be amazed at what you can accomplish.

@BeardedBored 7 лет назад

You probably did it right. As you said the eye was larger on one side. It's possible the axe had been ground down too much over the years, favoring the bottom lip too much. I have 2 axes from my grandpa that are exactly that way. The edge is lopsided from over grinding on the bottom lip. I'm going to try to restore them like you did. Your handle shape is gorgeous. Really nice look to it.

@DrewDubious 7 лет назад

because some guy wielded a steel rod inside of it then you filed it out more than likely. Don't worry, lots of guys hang head upside down and they should know better already ;) Only tips I would have is try hanging lower down on the shoulder and never use steel step wedges

@Galamoth66 6 лет назад

Wow what a good job. The leather strap was perfect Finishing Touch gave it that great old world look

@322434 7 лет назад

@robertthompson371 5 лет назад

@soupermoviecritic8511 6 лет назад

Pask- it’s a plumb. Me- That’s a rusty axe you genius. HAHA!

@superfinalcountdown1 7 лет назад

I think it looks gorgeous even if the head is upside down. I'd mount it on a wall.

@PaskMakes 7 лет назад

Thank you! That was always the plan but I still haven't done it yet. :)

@aslob9321 6 лет назад

I can’t believe you put the head on upside down, is that because you are “down under”.

@Snurre86 6 лет назад

I assume the hole is cone shaped the wrong way. That is why it was messed with from the start.

@PaskMakes 5 лет назад

@Mr Cabot Mate what is your problem, it's just one of many projects, it's not that important. I've never set out deceive and honestly don't think I have. You seem to be on a mission to make out I'm a fraud or something. I make projects for entertainment and hopefully encourage others to have a go, I receive gratitude from many every day through emails, comments and other even more generous ways. Most people can see I'm genuine and honest. I don't have time for this back and forth, I tried talking and engaging with you but you're too set on putting me down so I'm letting you know this is my last comment on the matter. :)

@Master...deBater 6 лет назад

I actually like this particular head upside down. It makes it look like something other than a nicely restored...but worn out axe head!!! It gives it sort of a Medieval German War Axe look.

@adamschaafsma5839 5 лет назад

Ever notice how incredibly steady his hands are? The man's like a surgeon.

@GetHandsDirty 7 лет назад

That came out great! Is that the tree where the wood came from in the end? Looks like a similar color. Nice belt sander trick :D And it was absolutely fine the talking intro, don't be shy!

@PaskMakes 7 лет назад

Thanks! The tree that came from that stump was felled last year and is a Spotted Gum (it is a similar colour), I made a few slabs with my chainsaw - so thats got to season for a couple of years. The tree behind the stump is a beautiful Fig Tree that has grown over a large old tree stump. Thanks for the encouragement with speaking to the camera, it really is a strange experience!

Excellent work, thanks for 'saving' that classic plumb. I grew up in the Cascade mountains and we have more trees/forest than we know what to do with lol so I kinda know my way around an axe. My dad has a 55 gal drum full of just axes and mauls. I kinda want to go check if he has this one now! ...Im not sure how I feel about the leather wrap, ive never seen that done before, but hey personal preference. Thanks for the video.

@vedritmathias9193 6 лет назад

That's a far sight better than a mere restoration, good sir.

@dzanealbright 4 года назад

What a beautiful ax! I love how you made that handle. One of the problems of buying a commercially made handle is that they pay no attention to the grain of the wood. I just bought a new handle for my camp ax that I have had for more than 40 years, at least the fourth one. That ax has taught many young'uns camp axemanship, so it keeps getting broken. I'd give twice the price for a handle with the right grain! Well done, Neil!

@NoJusticeNoPeace 7 лет назад

Question for you. Why did you use linseed rather than tung oil? I'm a pipe smoker and doing research before I start working on my own pipes, and I'm still trying to figure out all the conflicting opinions and advice regarding linseed vs tung oil vs nose oil vs carnauba wax vs beeswax.

@bigfootandbananaman4746 7 лет назад

Use any kind of oil for an axe handle. I use canola oil but you can use motor oil or anything that's oil too

@Galamoth66 6 лет назад

Linseed oil is usually revered for its purity and quality and it lacks contaminants that a lot of other lower grade oils have

@kavanaghdarragh12 6 лет назад

I’d recommend bees wax

@vengefulenigma 6 лет назад

linseed is regarded as food safe, i don't know if it's smoke safe tho.

@savagecope7981 6 лет назад

Linsead oils tends to stay in the cells of yhe wood for a longer period of time, helping not only bring out the grain but to also protect from water damage and help the eye of the handle swell and seat better to the head

@L0pzana 6 лет назад

@michaelbrown8545 7 лет назад

Nice work on the haft, your obviously skilled when it comes to working with timber. Even upside down it will be a good underhand or splitting axe. The eye is always bigger at the wedge end, the wedge should be slghtly wider then the eye so it fills the gaps as the haft can be a bit short in the eye. Another way to look at it is the cutting edge has a beard and like on a man it should always hang down, towards the palm swell. An old axe that has been beatup on the poll can have the cheaks bend out causing the eye to reverse, this can be fixed on an anvil even if the handle is still fitted.

@PaskMakes 7 лет назад

Thank you Michael! You have explained what may have happened and something I never thought of. I've explained in many comments here that I measured the eye with callipers before I hung it with the the larger opening at the wedge end, that has had me very confused. So it's possible for the cheeks to bend out and the eye reversed? With how this axe head as been abused then I would reckon that's definite possibility. Thanks again for the enlightenment! :)

@billwessels207 7 лет назад

I clicked on this one out of shear boredom. little did I know that I was going to have the opertunity to observe a true mastercraftsman taking such a mundane task to the extreme.. I have never seen an axe handle leather wrapped except for repairs and then usually it is only for repairs. Interesting concept. Could not believe that he was going to attempt to ressurect that much abused axe head. Wow, beautiful work.

@PaskMakes 7 лет назад

@forgenorth1444 7 лет назад

That jarrah stuff is beautiful! I would have put less curve in the handle to reduce runout but thats a great job. An oldtimer showed me to spot the inside of the head with a candle or oil lamp that way it leaves soot on the high spots when you're fitting.

@PaskMakes 7 лет назад

Jarrah is very nice indeed! You should check out my reclaimed desktop video - the Jarrah in that was stunning. Thanks for the tip - I'll remember that. :)

@benfelland 7 лет назад

@EyeGlue 7 лет назад

Mesmerizing! Never knew I could get so much vicarious satisfaction from watching a master at work......it is indeed a fine looking axe at the end -- but yes, I also think it DOES look as if the most flared profile of the axe blade would be the one closest to the wood you're chopping (look at any hatchet) -- even if the difference in flare is not that obvious....anyway, most educational and interesting....thank you!
