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

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

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.

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 !!

Brilliant Idea with this pattern 🤯🥳🥰

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.

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

Out of all the fake restoration videos out there, this is the only channel I genuinely trust and enjoy.

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.

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

10:46 Oh no. The Forbidden Honey.

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

Love watching your restorations!! Very relaxing

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

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

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!

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

Watching sandblasting is always so riveting. If KZfaq had only one sandblasting video, that would be enough.

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

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

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

Oooo! I love the details about the sand blaster!

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

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

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.

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

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

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!

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

Gotta say, besides the amazing work your doing on restoration.. It's likewise amazing to see your level of interaction with the comments! Have a high five and an awesome day mate!

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

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

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

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

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 ....

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

Awesome restoration, loved the snake skin finished on the axe blade 👌👌

I'm just impressed how clean the benches are!

3:48 5 mins into Netflix and chill

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

I swear this is the most underappreciated channel on KZfaq.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

It gives the feelings of the old man cleaning woody.

That turned out amazing!! The snake skin texture was very creative and genius!!

Great video once again. The subtle humour is very refreshing

Drawing a smiley face is something I'd do because of my ADHD

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

dude watching you makes me feel like I can't breathe

Beautiful job start to finish,I really appreciate your handle design thank you for that gift 🙏

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

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

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.

Wow, that is absolutely amazing, love the pattern!! Incredible job man

That shop is amazingly clean.

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 😀😄👍👍

Nice job. Love the hammered effect on the sides.

Exceptional work, kudos to the artist...

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.

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.

Excellent work! Always enjoy watching your videos. You certainly are an artist sir

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!

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

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

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

Awesome! From the result to whole process. Especially liked your workshop and funny moments. Snakeskin is really awesome looking. Your channel is greatly underappreciated, you definitely should have more subscribers. Thank you for your work, waiting for new videos! =)

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

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

you said you aren't an artist, but what are these masterpieces?

I like the patina. Worth the meditation and reward.

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

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

I too almost didn’t watch this, but, I am very glad I did. I thought the Drexel grind on the sides is just super danged fine. I’ve still got my dads hatchet and you gave me some great ideas for that restoration. I’ll even give you a high five and subscribe! Thanks for posting and sharing! Uh, uh, uh, great handle toooo!

Simply amazing transformation! I congratulate you on your skill and patience.

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

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

I REALLY like the snake skin treatment.

Fantastic,love the snakeskin effect.

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