Vintage Axe - Simple Tool Restoration 

Glad you like them!

Thank you for the awesome comment. Made my day!

Thanks for the info. I got a lot of good feedback from people. Looking for a small hatchet to work on in the future, and I reckon I'll be all over it!

Thanks for kind words!

I will look it up!

Thanks for the feedback! I think a lot of people are used to no voice now so I wanted to try it a bit different. Glad you liked it!

Thank you. I think it is what makes things stand out.

Thanks, was a fun job.

Thanks heaps!

Thanks heaps. Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks! I got partway in and gave up. A lumber jack I am not.

Thanks heaps.

Thanks heaps. I put it in my first ever video, then realised I'm not a fan of it either. Thanks for watching!

This is way more info than I was able to dig up at the time. Thanks heaps. I ended up giving it to my dad, so he'll put it to good use, until he get too old to swing it anymore.

Thank you very much!

I've had aluminium soft jaws on my 'To-Do' list for ages. I'll have to move it up the list.

Thanks for watching!

I kept with angle it basically had, I'd estimate around 25 degrees? And yes, electrolysis is great, I prefer it a lot over a wire brush. Bit messier though.

Thank you! I got part way through and gave up. Got cut down by developers a little while after anyways. I always try and find some history but some items are hard to find anything on.

@@RestorationEndeavours I really like the history behind it, not many people do it and I think it's great. Ah let someone else do the hard work...love it lol

It was hard to tell, but possibly from the 80's based on the depth of the makers mark and the resin set head. Thanks for watching!

Denatured alcohol. It's called Methylated Spirits here, but Metho for short.

@@RestorationEndeavours Thanks, great video.

You could, but I would think keeping it consistent would be hard.

They are a nice axe. Mines still holding a good edge. Only let down may be the handle!

I am no lumberjack, that's for sure. Glad you enjoyed the rest!

Thanks for the great feedback! I have given this to my father so it will definitely get used hard. I may grab it back and see if I can make some adjustments after checking out a few videos from his channel. He does some great work. Cheers Bro!

Gracias por la respuesta. Estoy de acuerdo con usted. A pesar de que todavía no se ha movido, me acaban de poner una cuña en allí después de hacer trabajar un poco más con ella. Prefiero la madera a la resina. Lo siento si esto no se tradujo también !!

Not sure what type of tree it was, but it was dead and dry which made it harder. I shouldn't have ads on my video, so not sure what happened there. I think you need 1000 subs for that.

@@RestorationEndeavours i recon check if this video has a copyright claim on it. I listened to it very carefully again and there is an almost imperceptible radio going on in the background in one scene. The question is whether you should do something about it. i.e let the claimant skim money off your video and RU-vid will continue to favor this video in recommendations or take the high ground. In the past I have always jumped on these charlatans, but looking at your stats, perhaps they could be thought of as a type of short term symbiotic scum. (till you can your 1000 subs)

Thanks for the heads up and being #200. No copyright claims or anything in my dashboard so I'm still not sure why you got an ad. Did YT change something recently? I would have thought they would let me know.

The shape of the head? That's awesome, thanks for the info! The wood I used for the handle is sometimes called Tasmanian Oak, so that's fitting.

It had it coming..... as in, being removed to put a road in anyway.

@@RestorationEndeavours As long as it had it coming. Good video, I enjoyed watching you match the metal colors.

Były tam termity i w końcu miały zostać ścięte na ścieżkę. Niestety w środku niewiele. ✌️

@@RestorationEndeavours Rozumiem 👍Pozdrawiam z Polski: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jb3RAIc8J0w.html

Probably could have been more so. Practices a bit more and can get them pretty nice now. Cheers,
