Does RU-vid need another axe restoration video? Hell no... but I did one anyway. This an ancient hatchet head found in a shed several years ago and has been on my to-do list for a while.
I put it out on Instagram and Barry Whelan from One Nine Four Designs told me that this is Kent Pattern axe, or hatchet that would have been used for hewing wood. According to a swift bit of googling in New England this would probably be called a Ship Builders Axe.
The handle (haft?) is made from a lamination of white oak and sapele. I know that's going to drive the axe nerds mad, but hey... I live in a flat in an urban area. I really have no need for a functioning hewing hatchet... it's a nice thing to own, and I learned a lot in the making of it. This was the first time I'd used an angle grinder as well... a lot of firsts in this video.
