A friend brought me this axe to restore. This axe was found metal detecting and had been buried for a long time. Everyone that seen it in person said it couldn't be fixed. This double bit axe was probably a 3.5# originally but after rusting away and the trimming I did it went on a serious diet. I love the way the deep pitting turned out and the friend I did this project for said he will likely use it for decoration. This project required rust removal, bluing, polishing grinding and fabrication of a handle.

Thank you!!!! I found an axe head just like this one in the woods with all the same details blade chip's, side pits, and inside rust, all the RU-vid videos of axe restoration are just mild orange spot's here and there and they fix it up and make it sound like a huge accomplishment, and i didn't want to just grind away the pits and folding on the back of the axe head ,i want it to still hold character and age, all that I've done to it so far is wirebrush the first layer of rust off, this video set me in the direction i wanted to take with my axe .so thank you

woah i just found one of these exact same axe heads in the woods too!!!! and i was looking for a video on something extremely pitted and was surprised he had such a similar axe head to restore. have you found out who made it?

@carterlogue3234 3 года назад

@@christopherrector7461 I think the one I found was a jersey axe, but I know exactly what you mean all these other videos on restoring axes are just have light orange surface rust and they do all this fancy stuff to it and I'm just like I could take a wire brush to that and get it looking good in like 5 minutes

Every small town in this country has a museum that greatly appreciates and honors donations of such old pieces of American rural history, yet I see so many videos of people totally destroying these beautiful antiques by grinding and polishing some historic find, attempting to make the object look new and spiffy. Thank you sir, for keeping the originality, the beauty, and the integrity of this very old piece of some early Americans life. You have given such honor to this old axe, I am sure the spirit of a long gone pioneer has looked upon you and smiled.

Wow that looks amazing. I'm now temped to do the same to an old pick axe head I found buried in my garden.

@richardwilliams2853 4 года назад

Omg that's amazing, who would of thought that by removing all the rust and cleaning it that it would end up rust free and clean.. Unbelievable 👍

@shafismaili1347 5 лет назад

Good that you left the century old pitting in place. So many guys ruin old axes making them mirror finish.

@GreenridgeMetalWorks 5 лет назад

I agree, I really like the look. Thanks for watching!

Do you ever feel in the pits with weld then sand it

@3mcu_ 4 года назад

I like that you left the pitting. On the other hand, my OCD wants it to be smoothen and mirror like. Nevertheless, great work!

I have just received an axe exactly like yours. It was found inside a tree. Guess who ever left it leaning against it and the tree grew around it. Could that axe be used if you wanted too? Good enough shape?

@GreenridgeMetalWorks 11 месяцев назад

Absolutely usable. After I trimmed some of the edges it's fine. It was for a friend though and he wanted it for a wall hanger so it won't get used, kinda sad.

@kendall308c 5 лет назад

Very interesting work David. I may have an interesting ax head for u to work your magic on if your interested. I’ll catch u at work some day

But those black spots and the middle part looking like rust, is that rust? Feel that should be smoothened too.

Sweet. Would love to know how old that Axe head is.

@GreenridgeMetalWorks 4 года назад

My buddy found that axe metal detecting at a home place that had been abandoned for 100 years. He said it was 10 inches deep when he dug it up. Thanks for watching!

@@GreenridgeMetalWorks jesus. As soon as i saw the axe head i knew this would be a perfect restoration. Too much rust and time made that goal pretty impossible. But i actually like it. Shows character and history

I'm a huge fan of the finished product, looks great pitted. I'm not a fan of the word "restoration" being used to explain it... just my opinion, don't yell at me lol.

@GreenridgeMetalWorks 4 года назад

Most of the RU-vid audience searches for this type of video within the tool restoration genre. I realize the definition differs but virtually nobody searches for refurbishments, even when they are specially look for them. Please be understanding with RU-vid makers, without generalizing search terms most would not be able to deliver. Thanks for watching.
