Restoration of a rusty Brades fire axe - ASMR 

No reaction from the fire dept guys? Awww... I wanted to see that....

I enjoyed the restoration process and the final result.

My grandfather left me an American-made ax. and I'm keeping it as a very valuable keepsake. I once heard my grandfather say that ash wood was an excellent choice for the ax handle, but now that he's passed away... this video gives gives me many experiences and reminds me. thank you. Now I always keep the ax blade as a keepsake. also i will use it in the future. Your video is very helpful for ax enthusiasts.☺

Work of Art !!

You are a craftsman sir a craftsman . That's a fantastic job and amazing thought . Thanks for sharing your time and skill and remember stay safe and make thanks again 🍺🍺👍👍

Looks brand new! Great job!

Stunning! "And the Oscar for outstanding cinematography goes to.....The Garden Workshop". P.s. Mind your fingers with that bandsaw - we can't afford to lose you.

Its difficult to find the quality of vintage tools anymore. Amazing recycling 👏👏👏

Great restored , I love it ... Thank you for the video

All I can say is WOW what a beautiful work of art. That whole thing is breathtakingly beautiful.

Great job. By pure coincidence, earlier today I found my exact same axe that I received from my late father, after about 10 years stored away in an old trunk. It is in a good condition and with handle still intact, but you have inspired me to restore it, and I might follow your build. Nice touch on the plaque to remember the plague.

Can’t get any better than that👍fantastic workmanship.

Whoa! I did not see that plaque coming! What a stunning work of art! Thank you for letting us see this!

Apart from the obvious skill in recycling the dedication at the end of this video is so endearing...Thank you 😊

Amazing job. What a lovely gesture to your local fire brigade. Well done!

This is Meine Mechaniker level restoration, which is the very highest compliment I can give a restorer. Just brilliant! Just found you, couldn’t sub fast enough!

absolute genius

That is a great gift for first responders

Man, great work and a righteous donation to the Merseyside Brigade. You didn't countersink the brass wood screws (Total Fail) a rank amateur move. I'm stunned you left the screw heads protruding. Never do that again on any project. The guy below is correct, mind your fingers.

What a fabulous transformation, great workmanship and an amazing gift for an wonderful work force.

Stunning finish, the handle is beautiful.. makes me want to do my shoddy old axe, keep up the great work 👍

wonderful work good for you

That looks awesome! Beautiful restoration

Great work and for a greater cause, much respect sir.

Amazing and great job!!!!!👍👍 Congratulations from Belgium 🇧🇪😉

Well done that was a smashing thing to do, and you have great skills. Brilliant.

an exceedingly good restoration.

We used have one of them at home in the 70's. Now I know what it was...

Really stunning work that was on point! A+

Great work! Huge fan of that handle lamination, it looks incredible!

Magnificent touch with the mounting plaque!!

only stumbled across this channel tonight but I was so impressed with your work that I subbed and watched each video back to back. Looking forward to the blowtorch resto as ive the identical one sat on a shelf waiting to be restored so it can go with my restored RM blowtorch and Dunlop Major footpump.

That handle was/ IS superb. Well done.

Beautiful job!!!! Why didn’t you countersink screws. Still awesome though

Well I can only say, great result and donation 👍

*Incredibly beautiful handle* 👍

Well done! Absolutely gorgeous! 😃👍🏼

Very nice restoration mate. Funnily enough I had one of those exact fire axes with the side handles, and did a restore job myself. Does come up shiny! Wish you had done this before I did mine though, I would have done some things differently. Mine had a problem that there was a split down the centre, as if the head was cast in two parts. I expect it just had a hard life. Unfortunately I do not have the facilities to weld it so I was forced to use a little resin to bond things a bit more than relying on just the friction and the side straps. Was a very satisfying first attempt at a restoration though.

Enjoyed brushing the rust 😍

To mi się spodobało w szczególności trzonek, dobra robota. 👍🏿

Beautiful restoration mister professionally restored very good well done

Ottimo lavoro fratello, continua così 👏👏👏

What an amazing transformation absolutely beautiful and a wonderful gesture to your local fire brigade 🔥 I'm sure it will receive pride of place in the station. Well done.

This size axe was used as A truck men's axe used in 1960 age. I was a firefighter for 22years we still had them on trucks they are handy.

This not a Fire Axe It is a scaffolders axe from the days of fir pole scaffolding The blade is for notching or facing the round of the poles to extend ,brace or ledge. If you look at far east (Asia,) bamboo scaffolding you get the idea. the point is for twisting up the relatively soft wire which bonded it all together. Steeltube scaffolding came into common use in the uk only from about 1936 onwards but regional builders continued into the 50's errecting there own firpole scaffold as required (it was cheap) These tools ended up in every domestic coal shed ,I have seen proably 100 in they are still not an uncommon find .Brades were w famous Sheffield tool company for roofing tools in paticulat ..Lath hammers ( actualy what it says) but favoured by slaters&tilers ,peck hammers,slate rips .Real tools of true quality.! I am 70semit retired but still use these tradesmans tools occasionaly. .When a firpole scaffold was errected on a pavement long narrow tubs were use to plant the standards in ( uprights) and filled around with sand or soil ,rather like a xmas tree in your living room in years gone by. The nick name for these/this was post holes=The tubs could be wicker or even cooper made somtimes parallel or bulbous at the centre about 3ft high x18inches wide..Pudlocks were often rough sawn 5x3 inch scaffold boarding much the same diamentions as todays standard boards

Wow! Just wow!

Nice job on the aluminum-wood lamination.

Would love to see you giving it to your brigade would be a great video

BRAVOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!! Very nice.

good job

Hello Friend. It was very good. Hugs from Brazil.

Very nice!

انا مشترك جديد من العراق واحب اعمالك الرائعة

i have one just like it but it’s engraved with “london AFS 5572” could bever find anything out about it but it still looks cool on my wall

I can't believe you laminated metal sheet into a wooden handle, the wood will shrink and chip and you will be left with an aluminium razor in your hands.

I love your videos really good. From the way you do your drawings, do you have an engineering background?

what kind of glue is that?? what glue do you recomend??..... thanks

The handle should be Ash to be authentic.

destroyed a beautiful axe.

Great job where did you get the magnetic holders from?

For a fire axe this days it's a very small one lol Is there a meaning behind the aluminum?? Looks great and a wonderful job restoring it and making the handle for it!! Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up Great dedication

Dude. Nice! The bit being the wrong size actually kinda makes the pin stand out a little more. Happy little accidents.

Я мечтаю о этой работе

Hello! Do you know anything about the Brades company? I have a 1791 Brades 7LBS sledgehammer, I have no idea what the 1791 is in reference to.

Please careful for wood cut by saw!

Сделано хорошо! Но в конце мало показали результат работы! Я имею ввиду обзор самого топора-как получилось.

Hey man leave your plane on its edge or it will go blunt very fast. But great job other wise.

2:51, ☺👍 as to what the plan for the ax is

100/100

Ты о вспомогательных толкателях и щупах при работе на ленточной пиле слышал? А про охрану труда слышал?

Лайк! Как у Вас с травлением ?

Работа профессионала ! Но много не нужных замеров было, на мой взгляд в некоторых случаях можно было бы поступить проще! Но это всё мнение!!!

Алюминий к дереву? Пусть даже на эпоксидку, не верю я в прочность такого соединения. Да и вообще, металл, идущий от ударной части в рукояти такого инструмента как топор, нож, и выступающий на поверхность, тот еще сюрприз владельцу, вздумавшему перерубить провод под напряжением )))

Are you from the uk because that Mr cipling box is familiar

That was a truly lovely thing you did, I at least appreciate it. I joined the London Fire Brigade in 1977 and at that time we were issued a personal fire axe which we wore at all times. I still have mine. Its a little worse for wear but I am sure I could with a little work get it back to looking good again. I have often thought of doing that and somehow mounting it on a wall or giving it to my son who is a second generation firefighter as they are now called. I was wondering once cleaned up what to put on it to preserve it from rust etc? I hasten to add that we were issued with a small piece of chain mail that we used to clean our axe heads with, just constant rubbing with it, wish I still had it. They came up a treat, all shiny with no scratch marks. Regards Chris.

Like 👍

It would be the right way to weld a piece of pipe instead of wooden handle.

Love a tart me, not counter sinking the name plaque holes is killing me mate.

I wanna know who's cheese grater gratifying ears think that this is an ASMR video? Cool restoration tho.

3:51 I say on russian ня ня ня

🌷🌷😍😍😍😍يا حبيبي

About lost a finger there I see

im giog to bed

Топор был хороший, его просто облили какой-то гадость, чтобы заржавел.

im sytopin0c

hmm it looks like a boarding axe to me

ASMR :D

Hlow Bro main pakistan Say Ho or main bhi apki Tarha RU-vid Oay Restoration Or Metal Ka Work Krta ho apna Whatsap nmbr dain ap

Don’t like the square handle either.

bad work in some details the handle doesnt fits well on the top of the axe there is a gab between the wood and the metal ...the medaile at the bottom is placed in a hole which is drilled to big... and the sign on the burned plate is screwd with countersunk head screws without countersink inthe sign instead using flat round head screws

The one passage you should have made brief is the passage you should have abbreviated. Sparks are pretty. The noise isn't. JFC. This is why I can't get through restoration videos unless the sound is off. And if I have to mute you, I sure as hell don't want to watch you. EYEROLL.

Even modern day axes are suppose to have plastic or rubber handles. Just like the way modern day claw hammers do.🪓 😑 🙄 😒

"my mechanics" steals your ideas but you are more successful..

What an amazing transformation absolutely beautiful and a wonderful gesture to your local fire brigade  I'm sure it will receive pride of place in the station. Well done.
