I have long wanted to make an ax with the logo of the channel or a sledgehammer.
Each ax can make a unique ax in three hours.
I'll show you how a rusty ax will become pretty in three steps.
It is necessary to polish the ax, Using a stencil to erase the drawing, Make an ax, And the ax is ready.
On the ax was spent three hours of time - Agree, it was worth it. Want to make a unique ax for yourself?
It is better to polish the ax with a grinder, orbital or polishing machine.
Grain sandpaper gradually choose smaller
First comes the 400th, 600th, 800th, 1,000th, 1,500th and after 2,000th the surface will be almost mirror-like.
On one ax today we will erase the channel logo using the method of electrochemical etching.
On the other two, in the next video, we will do a smart two-layer deep etching using two methods and compare the results. Using ferric chloride and electrochemical etching.
First you need to make mock-up stencils in cut on a cutting plotter.

================================================= ======
We will poison the ax in a plastic bottle from under drinking water. Preparing a salt solution. Pour four liters of water at a temperature of 20-35 degrees and stir 250-300 grams of salt. Stir until all salt crystals dissolve.
For active etching, it is not the amount of volts that is important, but the amperage. In the first video, I poisoned thin-walled metal charger from a smartphone with a current of less than one ampere. My computer power supply produces 18 amps. Consequently, the metal will be etched much faster. The white wire will be its advantage we will fix on the ax .. The ax will be the anode .. And we will connect the blue to the minus. As the cathode, I will use the old frame from under the laptop keyboard.
Between the ax and the cathode we make a gap of 2 - 3 centimeters ... The timer set for 10 minutes.
When etching, copper wires with a cross section of 1N square heated up to 35 degrees. The water also warmed ... The multimeter showed a maximum current of no more than 8 amperes.
Steel can really be polished, even without power tools. But it will take more time. And notice the polished tool without a pattern also looks very rich. Do not sharpen the tool before polishing. It is better to do this after etching the metal so as not to cut oneself in the process. The polishing of the metal happens fairly quickly when you have sandpaper with the grain that I used. It was easier for me to paint three cars in the summer and I had a lot of sandpaper. But even if you buy six sheets of such paper, then they will be enough for at least 4p ax. Before applying the sticker on the metal, be sure to warm it up and degrease it a little. At a temperature of 40 degrees, the sticker will clearly take the form of a metal. And the quality of etching in the end will be better. In the process of etching, it is difficult to determine how deeply the metal was etched because of the oxide. Therefore, it is better to spend a little time on the test etching, thanks to which you will know exactly what you end up with. For deep etching, it is better to use a more powerful transformer. It can be a computer power unit, a laptop power unit, a charger from a screwdriver, batteries from an uninterruptible power supply unit, a car or a charger for them ... any old Soviet step-down transformers of volts up to 36 so that you will probably not be shocked by the current during etching. Safety is paramount. By the way - it is recommended to poison in the open air or under the hood because chlorine and hydrogen are emitted in the process. Although, even with such a reaction as I had - the smell was almost not audible.
Now I will publish this video .... And immediately begin to impose a new video. On the subject of deep two-layer etching. In the new video we will compare the results, find out what method to etch the metal better. What is cheaper and faster. That's all dear friends - if the video was useful, put likes and dislikes and don't forget to subscribe to my channel so as not to miss the new videos.
