Для рубки мяса топор!

Believe me, this project took more time in filming and video editing!

I mean he isn't restoring historically significant artifacts but this the first restoration where I felt the amount of work done is far far too much. He killed the soul of the thing. He should have left a postmark sized area of unpolished metal around the original stamps so that they remain in their original state. It would have looked great and would tie the axe to it's origin. Now it's laser branded like a generic Russian souvenir. He erased everything this object had in terms of authenticity, identity and for what, so I can be more shiny? What about is now from 1916: now only the metal molecules the axe have been put together in 1916, _everything_ else has been deleted and you'd never guess even that much by looking at it. He's a great craftsman and a great youtuber, but lacks sensibility and taste sometimes. Imagine him "restoring" the great sphinx of Giza or anything remotely important. I shudder to think.

@lordzid667 thank you so much 🙏

@gavranarh dude, don't watch your restoration videos. you watch the archaeology videos. and travel to museums. believe me, you will be satisfied.

@@meinemechaniker that's really not the attitude to bring to this discussion. We are all in awe of your technical and creative prowess. But that doesn't mean you can't improve. It's not obvious to me what you could improve when it comes to craftsmanship so I keep my mouth shut about those things. But I do think there is room for conceptual improvement - not only how a thing looks and how it performs but what it means and what makes it special. Most of the objects you restore are cool not only for their timeless design and robust utility that endures through the decades - they are also cool because they are relics from the past and have their journey. Every object has a story and to me it's important that you can "read" that story from the object itself, that some small part at least remains fully genuine. Ask yourself why a rare Breguet or Patek loses half it's value when you clean, polish and "improve it"? The original state is subjectively and also monetarily valuable because it can never be done again, while you can restore it once or ten times, now or in 50 years - you can always do this. When Norman Foster restored the Reichstag, he didn't wash the walls and plaster over the damage - yes the building is restored and fully functional, ultra modern. But you can still read russian scrawl on the walls when soviet soldiers occupied Berlin and freed it from the Nazis. This russian graffiti makes it not less but more special and valuable - not because it's pretty but because it's genuine. It''s the real thing. Look, I'm just a random nobody from the internet and I'm not giving a lecture here. You're a great craftsman and I enjoy your videos. I take for granted that you don't care much about what I say so you are in no danger from some random comment. Feel free to forget about all this - I might have come out a bit strong and impolite but I only hope that you consider my point of view if that will add another dimension to your work. That's all.

категорически нельзя в таких случаях уничтожать оригинальные клейма. дальнейшая работа не имела смысла, теперь это обычный красивый кусок стали

I'm glad you like it, it's a great honor for my old followers like snein to like my projects.

@@meinemechaniker , holy guacamole! Now you speak Russian?!

@@rezdm but not my language 👍

thanks dude. Since the product is made in Russia, I choose the location in Russia. What does my position matter? I am not the main one here, I think it is the product I restored. I'm glad you liked the video. health problems are over. I hope it doesn't happen again. thanks. 🙏

@@meinemechaniker Your location don't matter! I was fascinated about your multicultural impacts and the possiblilty to communicate/understand so much people. And for me in personal: I think you deserved some credits as well. Because you bring that beauty axe back to life with your own hands. Sorry, if my first comment irritated you. It wasn't my intention to write/ask something mean.

Thanks

Жаль что клеймо родное не осталось

А так все на высоте

I have watched Mechaniker restore many things, some more complicated, but this ax was truly magnificent, the ultimate.

🙏🏻 thanks mate

thanks ✋

man, change your perspective. and look at it from another angle. don't catharsis.

@@meinemechaniker Let's not be dramatic. No catharsis here. I enjoy your videos. My point is simple: Sometimes we come across objects with a history to tell. Egyptian museums are full of artifacts from a bygone era. We could not learn from history without objects to reveal stories. Your axe head is more than just an axe head. It was from 1916 -one year before the Russian revolution... This axe may have played a part in that. Perhaps it was the axe that helped break the wooden gate of the winter palace in St. Petersburg -helping the Bolsheviks gain access to the Romanovs hiding inside.. Maybe.. We can only speculate because it is possible that it could have happened -it was made in 1916. Unfortunately it is now defaced. The stamps (the proof of originality) are gone. Everything that was original and interesting is gone. It is now an oddly shaped, smooth and shiny chunk of metal without any history, heritage or details of production. It could have been made in China in 2021. Who knows.? Laser engraving from 2022 has no bearing on its originality. It's potential value now severely reduced. Paradoxically NATO see China as a threat to our culture and security. Religious extremists say they want to erase our history. Well -they don't have to. We do it ourselves.

@@knutlyd we have this video as proof 😅

@@meinemechaniker Well -until YT takes it down. Keep in mind -the axe is a potential weapon. It may be used to inflict violence -and there are no safe spaces in your videos. For all we know it may also be homophobic, transphobic, sexist and racist. It may also not be carbon neutral -one of the worst crimes. Add to that: the handle is made out of exotic wood, perhaps from the rainforest !! -"how dare you" And -the sheath is made from innocent, peacefully grazing friendly animals, slaughtered by evil white men for their hides, and it doesn't even have a BLM logo. Also we do not see you wearing a mask wile working. Maybe you're anti vax? Can we be sure your videos are not spreading the virus.? Once someone is "triggered" and feel unsafe or discriminated against, YT will remove the video. Guidelines... As you can see, I've used many words to trigger YTs algorithms -so as to put focus on this video. So we shall see for how long it stays up.. But -keep on making them. Be one step ahead of the algorithms and blue haired horde. 😀

@@knutlyd 😅🙏🏻 thank you mate 👌

thanks a lot

в 1916 году еще не было СССР.Была Россисйская империя,только через год собирали республики и потом в 1922 уже образовался СССР.

Thanks Sergey 🙏🏻

well, what do you think I should have done?

@@meinemechaniker etching, probably. or engrave properly with drill. or leave part with marks just sanblasted and blued, for example. Look, I`m not trying to say that you did a bad job. it`s wonderful, and it`s a pleasure to watch. but laser...it`s almost like just painting it. and completely impossible 100 years ago, right? you`re not choosing easy ways usually, and now this.

And sandblasting was around in 1916?😂 You're just being nitpicky 🤣
