gouging out a crack in an old axe and welding it after, I decided to give the axe a mirror polish.

Ridik, go to Grizzly Tools. If you get down to Seattle, there's a wonderful store there that you can get all this and much more.

I have never seen an axe head with a mirror finish like that. Very impressive.

I never would have imagined a cracked axe could be welded and repaired. Excellent.

I’m in the middle of restoring an old axe head of my own and all of your tool/product use explanation at the end was so helpful. Thank you! I’ve been in the woodworking game for awhile but I’m new to the metal game but fascinated by it

Very nicely done sir! You just gave an axe, that most people would've thrown away, a second chance at life! I love restoration.

I've enjoyed 3 of your videos thus far, including the polishing by hand and making of an axe handle. I know that feeling of i'm over it as been restoring some hand planes. Thank you for taking the time to do your videos.

You mix up your terminology a bit. You say the tip is harder because it was tempered, but tempering is in fact a process that reduces hardness, and increases toughness. That would decrease the edge retention of the tempered bit, and in turn make it less likely to chip.

Keep us posted on other items you polish up. I know I would enjoy to see more detailed steps involved when you made that axe handle. Everyone has a different technique to arrive at the same result but yours looked pretty good.

@frenchriversprings 6 жыл бұрын

Anthony O thanks for the compliment. If you have any idea what else I could polish, let me know. As for the axe handle, Liam Hoffman is the pro.

@a.o.647 6 жыл бұрын

Disc or drum rotors, ball peen hammers, knives, and railroad spikes might be some good ideas for polishing, or some interesting things you have around the shop. Maybe a mirror polished small sledge hammer head would be cool as a paperweight. I kind of plan on doing that for myself sometime.
