Rare rusty WWI trench pickaxe restoration. I found a rusty axe on the battlefield of the First World War at the site of a German and Austro-Hungarian military camp. This is a rare ersatz pickaxe. I decided to restore this pickaxe. I removed the rust and preserved the axe. I hope you liked my restoration.

Excellent! I consider this more of a preservation than a restoration. Preserving history.

@ReXtorer Год назад

Thank you! There are different types of restoration)

@thomastompkins2742 Год назад

Nice Job. Careful using salt as your electrolyte, it creates chlorine gas. Safer to use baking soda.

@mynamingislackluster3710 Год назад

Yep. It does fit with the WWI theme though

@thomastompkins2742 Год назад

@@bdong21 bro, chlorine gas is poisonous (ironically used in WWI) and there are a multitude of other ways to produce an electrolyte.

I always find it amazing how much rust you find/dig out, after electrolysis. Very thorough! 💪👍

I love how you do just enough to bring things from the past and resist the urge to make them better than they were, it's amazing. I'd love to see a video displaying all of the items that you have restored, with before and after images.

Appreciate your hard work on this , and the respect you gave it.

Great restoration. Good luck on your next project. 👍👍

@caked3953 Год назад

Very interesting how similar the design is to modern equipment like fiskars hatchets. Today we use fancy teflon coating and fiber reinfoced plastic, back than it was metal for the whole thing! And this axe has a straight grind as well!

Great video! I recommend everyone to watch and enjoy the spectacle!!! Good luck, bro!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Excellent work. It's nice to see the base metal conserved. Having said that, I would have also used a mild rust dissolving acid instead of all the dremel work. Then again, I'm not doing the work and posting quality videos. Nice job, amigo.

love these old tools. as if they were built for eternety (imagine them being taken care during the years instead rusting away in ...who knows where)...

вам обов’язково потрібно придбати піскоструминь, багато хімічних процесів відпадуть самі по собі

Круто балістол працює. Я купив рідину для вороніння на розлив. То працює на багато повільніше

@ReXtorer Год назад

Так, балістол швидше реагує, але різниця не особлива

Where do you find all your pieces to restore?

@ReXtorer Год назад

I find most of them with a metal detector. Here is my second channel where I show the search for artifacts www.youtube.com/@ArtifactDigger

What is the black stuff you put on the axe

@worldscoolestusernam Год назад

Cold bluing liquid, often used for gun restorations. It creates a rust-resistant surface on metal.
