I was almost not going to watch this video, because it’s another axe. There’s only so many I can handle. I’m glad I did watch this though. That was outstanding work mate. I especially loved the snakeskin look. 👍🇦🇺

Step 1: buy old 12 dollar axe Step 2: buy 20k worth of tools Step 3: restore for free

I'm not sure if I'm more surprised by how great the finished product looked, or by the fact that someone had the balls to charge $12 for the pre-restoration axe.

Man this guy doesn’t go to a hardware store, the hardware store comes to him.

I was sad and depressed all the day. "Every day smile" made me smile :)

This is the "it's 1 am and i cant sleep lol" type of videos

Brilliant Idea with this pattern 🤯🥳🥰

I love how you have all the steps. And the humor is priceless. Keep up the amazing job. Love watching these transformations. From one restorer to another 👍

This video focused me and kept my interest the entire time. The axe was beautiful. Even more beautiful was the skill and care which produced it. I would love to be able to do something similar… amazing.

11:43 ""at least HE'S good at..." My mans made the hatchet so good it deserved an identity.

Nice job! I spend a lot of time in the bush here in Oz. There are old tools from prospectors all over the place, particularly in the gold fields. Some of them have been lying in the dust and mud since 1898, around the time of the first gold rushes, sometimes even earlier. Old picks, mattocks, pick-axes, hatchets and axes. Shovels are thinner and usually rusted and worn out and pretty useless. With the heavier metal tools, I actually like them as unrestored as I can keep them, excepting repairing edges, heads and points. The absolute best de-rusting is at an atomic level, by electrolysis. It only takes away the rust and no clean metal is ground or polished away. They seem to have acquired an exceptional hardness from years of baking in ground temperatures up to 50C in summers; either that or they were good steel to begin with. I get them back to a nice red-brown patina with all the inherited pits by electrolysis, and without sanding and grinding except for points and edges, which I grind by hand. Then a spot of oil and a new handle and they are done and are scattered all over the house as ornaments which have a practical use as well as talking points.

As someone that has no idea what a screwdriver does, your doing pretty well from my observations

This is the first time I've ever seen that kind of "snakeskin" finish look even decent, and it's gorgeous!

As you can see I worked hard for this video and I want you to tell me here if you like the restoration and modification on this beautiful hatchet. And don't forget to subscribe and turn on the notifications. I love you all of you guys !!

I was initially skeptical of your decision to dimple the sides because most people get an inferior-looking result. But your results were spectacular.

In my case, it’s 11:51pm, I have already watched 5 axe sharpening/rebuilding videos and here I am. Either this one will put me to sleep or keep me awake for #7 axe video.

Finally someone who doesn't just polishes everything shiny and calls it a day.

1:37 I honestly wasn’t in the best mood and that genuinely made me smile. Thank you for the reminder😁

Not often you find someone who clearly cares this much about what he does, great content man keep it up

That snakeskin texture is beautiful! Very fun and inspiring to watch.

1:15 - when an ex keeps bugging you: "Oh no, it's 'huragan'."

Nice!! Well done my friend!! Lovely texture.

The axe itself looks very similar to my grandfathers axe that was used in Norway for ship building and cabin making. Next time the handle is out, check behind the blade side in it for markings. Beautiful job!

I like the patina. Worth the meditation and reward.

He straight up turned a rusty ole’ hatchet into a daedric dragonskin war axe

The key to restoring a tool is knowing how it was made, and what it was used for. An axe is a simple thing, but many of the things done here have removed functionality. Granted, it was in the scrap pile, it was designed to do certain tasks that it can no longer do.

Love the 'snake skin' finish! Since we don't have hickory in Europe, ash is the best choice for strike tool handles. You can use beech if ash isn't available, though it'll not last as long. Oak, while dense and hard, is too brittle and is a very poor choice for handles, unless it's only a showcase axe.

You amaze me with how many different camera angles you use in a video. You're an impressive film maker. 👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿

I would suggest open your online store where people can buy the antique articles from you.

10:46 Oh no. The Forbidden Honey.

As soon as you were finished sanding the handle….outstanding.

It's now has a new Lease of life thanks to you David.keep up the great 👍 restorationsBro.👌👌👌➕

It's so clean, looks brand new, never used. The hatchet came out nice too!

😅We talk later about cutting my jeans, now I just congrats you for this amazing job ❤️❤️❤️🎉🎉🎉

Wow,that panel beaten effect is power,, great video.

this axe restoration is so good, I almost can't HANDLE it

I am still amazed by his cleaning the workshop skill everything is so clean as its new either machinery he used was so perfectly clean ....

"Sorry, but this is the longest finger." It's alright man. Do what you gotta to give corrosion the "finger." XD

Beautiful. Had you steamed and bent the oak instead of cutting to shape, i think it'd be even nicer, imo. A cross wedge using a very light and a very dark wood(s), finished with a rounded and polished eye would've made it museum quality! But the _texture_ of that blade: fkn *wow!*

There is some small irony here in using so many modern tools to craft a much simpler one. The end result however is very cool, and I enjoyed the journey.

It looks like something straight out of The Elder Scrolls..Very cool!

Him: takes biggest piece of wood possible Also him: "Perfect size for the axe!"

Great video once again. The subtle humour is very refreshing

That’s some amazing craftsmanship don’t ever give it up man. Beautiful work

Thank you random midnight KZfaq recommendation, for sending me to this amazing video. Certainly earned my subscription, I shall eagerly await more amazing content

.....absolutely GORGEOUS!!

This is not really a restoration, it's more a refabrication. I have enjoyed it immensely.

*Creating things of beauty out of others trash is a highly fulfilling hobby! Very nice piece my friend!*

I’ve never seen pitting dealt with in such a unique, beautiful and clever way... snakeskin eh? Really wonderful workmanship! 👍

Again, Eeee, well done again, it's a great honor for me to see another person with precise attention to detail and his wonderful work, well done and respect from old BG.

You picked the wedge that I picked 👍 it’s a beautiful hatchet

5:52 In my country, this process is called "Art".

I love videos like this. No narration, no visible presenter face.. only text. Very good!

When you made the “snake skin” on the axe my first thought of that was... The peopole that have the fear of holes are screaming!

Exceptional work, kudos to the artist...

Good to see someone who knows how to put a handle on an axe or hammer, let alone make one. Your scaling is amazing, great work.

To the people who dislike this i don’t think you appreciate how much time and effort went into this beautiful creation like I wouldn’t want to use it because I’m afraid I’d scratch it,good job mate you earned a subscriber 😀😄👍👍

You do amazing work. Always a pleasure to watch an artist like yourself.

I'll admit that I wasn't sure about the "snakeskin" look when you started the grinding, but I'm glad that you did it. That looks amazing. Congratulations on a beautiful job.

Man, that's by far the best axe I've ever seen. Brilliant job, I love the snake skin. You did an amazing job on the handle, overall you should keep doing what your doing cause it's amazing.

I love the snake skin look on it and the fact there’s no music great job man

Nice! That's an old hatchet with bottle opener! My grandfather use to have one when I was young! He was opening our soft drink bottle with it!

That shop is amazingly clean.

It gives the feelings of the old man cleaning woody.

Beautiful. Glad to see there are people that appreciate quality and craftsmanship.

That is actually gorgeous

I recently cleaned up a 62 year old knife that one's the rust was removed the petina and piting wouldn't affect the strength so it just looks like a well take care of but we'll used old knife

Rusty Hatchet is gonna be something awesome! Me: Probably a shiny hatchet

I still got my great granddaddy's Ax from 1863. Works perfect every time I sharpen it. Only had to replace the handle three times and the head twice.

Fantastic,love the snakeskin effect.

Beautiful workmanship. Its nice to see such a talented artisan exists today.

"Everything you need to know about metal tools restoration,but were afraid to AX"!🤣 (Very nice,wish your shop was nearby 😀👍

Fun fact, you can unscrew the finger grip on your dremel and use it as a wrench to tighten the collet. That way you don't have to fiddle with the tiny wrench every time you change bits. Changed my life when I discovered it 😁

I'm ashamed of my shop. I feel so dirty! Nice job dude!

3:50 I have to tell my wife that all the time 😔

Me: Wow, what a cool design! People with tripophobia:

That gotta be the most beautiful thing I've seen all day!

Love watching your restorations!! Very relaxing

YESSS FINALLY SOMEONE WHO PUTS A LOT OF EFFORT AND DOESNT SAY SUBSCRIBE EVERY 2 SECONDSSSSS!! 😌❤️

Beautiful! Great "longest finger action you have there" made me chuckle.

This is not an axe. It is an art form in it's own right! didnt like the "pattern " at first but when you see the finished item, what a genius! Great jopb.

Continúo maravillándome con tus restauraciones. Saludos desde Santiago de Chile 🇨🇱

I felt like I was on some kids show like Dora where they ask for audience participation when he asked about the wedge. And somehow I got it right

Fajnie ze ktoś z polski zaczął nagrywać taki zajebisty i satysfakcjonujący kontent ( poznalem po napisie na kompresorze „kompresor olejowy” przy okazji piękna robota brawo !!! 👏🏻😃

Yet another masterpiece from the master! Superb!

Another piece of work. The ax snake print is beautiful. I'm a fan.

First time watching your work, and i gotta say its both inspiring and entertaining. Thanks for allowing us to see your craft.

omg "sorry thats the longest finger" i died😂😂😂😂 Edit: Wow the snakeskin pattern looks amazing!😮😮

ABSOLUTE MAGIC! This Is a BEAUTIFUL Restoration mate! OUTSTANDING..

Very nice! Thank you.

Came out great. I like the snakeskin effect. Looks like a pain but the result is tremendous. Very nicely done.

Every tool in the shop looks brand new,like they've never been used before.

Beautiful! You are a very skilled craftsman. While you were applying the "snakeskin" look to the head, I was not sure at all, but when finished it was stunning.

Thanks for the help Jimmy!!

The compressor was like: "Hey nice to see you around HURAGAN"

I like the snake skin finish on the axe head

OH MY, ANOTHER INCREDIBLE RESTORATION!!

Stunning workmanship and a great result. I’d love to own that.

Dude I just love people. Like. This dude goes to a flea market and goes woah. I can make this hatchet into an even cooler hatchet. I go to a thrift store and I see a curtain and I’m like woah. That’d be a coolest fucking jacket. My friend finds old books and refurbishes them. Like. We’re all little gremlins trying to get our grubby hands on random things and I think that’s amazing.
