In this video I'll show you how I restored my wife's grandfather's old axe. It was his favorite ax . I will also show you how to make an ax handle. I'll make the handle out of ash. Pleasant viewing. PATREON. / wooddesign673

@@gemofthewoods5802 There's a video of an antique firefighters axe restoration by "My Mechanics" which has the same kind of securing method, definitely worth a watch, so it would seem it's an old method that WD has bought back into use. He has done a marvellous job too.

When restoring items with family connections, I like to just return the tool to it's original working state. It the tool was a favorite of those who have passed, I would never make such a radical change to it. It would just not sit well with me. I could just do a a radical restore job from an old axe I get for a garage sale and such. All that said, that is a beautiful modern design of an axe. Well done.

скорее всего, так и будет (я про стену и любоваться). кому сейчас нужен топор? жил 15 лет в частном секторе, топоров была "коллекция" - штуки 4 разных размеров. пользовал их раз 5 суммарно (на всех). срубал старое дерево и по мелочи столярку какую-то, типа заострения кольев для новых деревьев. с учетом явного облегчения, этот топорик не для тяжелых работ все равно.

Breathing new life into something that it’s original creator, long passed away, would be proud of. I have a deep reverence for the craftsman who created tools and the tools themselves, that have lasted beyond a lifetime. There’s something special about holding something that’s survived not only time but the abuse that it’s taken during it’s lifetime. I think about who may have used the tool and for what purpose. Thanks for giving this tool time for the next generation to hopefully use and appreciate.🙏👍🇺🇸 Your skills are off the chart BTW.

@junkname9983Рік тому
you never see this technique before because it's terribly impractical. It's fine if you never intend on actually using the thing but as soon as you do, you'd get terrible response from the handle and as the wooden part wear out, the metal part will start cutting into your hands when you use the axe. This is now nothing more than a show piece.
