If I were your Grandfather, I would be very thrilled and proud that you would take the time to restore/refurbish one of my tools, nicely done sir. Thank you for the video.

Recently I also restored a hatchet that belonged to my grandfather, and later to my father. It's a great emotion. Congratulations from Brazil!

This is an old school framing hatchet, as opposed to an axe. The "nog" is for pulling nails, axes don't have these nogs. We used these hatchets in place of hammers, up until the early 80's. Also similar to roofing hatchets, which would add holes along the top straight edge for shingle spacers.

Great tribute to your grandfather. Loved the work.

Who knew that an axe and it's stand could be a work of art! Thank you for sharing. I love both of your channels.

Good job . Grandpa would be proud

Very nicely done, the hatchet and stand looked really lovely, and I think that your Grandfather would really respect and appreciate what you've done!

You did a beautiful job in restoring this piece of your grandfather's history and now it's a piece of yours.

I love that you honor your grandfather’s tool! You are a master who, naturally always will, create masterpieces 😍😍😍😍

This was awesome. It's like a piece of art you would have standing in your living room. Great work. Thanks for showing this to us ❤️

That was like watching a caterpillar turn into a butterfly. Spectacular work mate. You should be proud. 👌😍

Makes me happy to see something well loved. Hopefully your grandkids will do the same for this old hatchet when we’re gone.

When you are someone's grandfather and they find this beautiful axe, I hope they restore it with as much care as you did.

Brilliant, a piece of art you can display!👏🏻

An heirloom to be proud of !!! Excellent restoration 👏👏👏

Nice,simple and clean,now a family treasure.keep on doing what your doing 👍👍👍😎😎😎

Nice, grandpa would be proud. Thanks for sharing 👍

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful work. Great to watch from start to finish.

Granddad would be proud! Beautiful work!

Despite the many mentions of this tool being an axe, I still possess a near identical tool that I inherited from my father, who was a builder and roofer for most of his life. He always called it his slating hammer and when I once offered to put a sharp edge on the blade, he told me to never sharpen it, as it was supposed to be a rounded edge and be used to create assorted shapes and sizes from plain rectangular stone roofing slates as required for decorative patterns on roofs. He would use the same tool for different types of slates from the usual Welsh blue slates and the Cumberland green slates to the older more locally sourced Riven Yorkshire Sandstone slabs and even occasionally he worked with Cornish random slates (which he always described as a miserable flaky stone to work with).

Wow ! Happy Grandfather ! 💙👍🪓 Well done my friend !

Great job. A few things I really liked about this resto and one tool suggestion. I like that you took the time on a hatchet that was born to be a cheap workhorse in somebody's garage. I like that you didn't give it a mirror polish, but instead gave it a good looking, practical finish. I like that you didn't feel pressured to cut and shape your own handle, there's nothing wrong with a store-bought handle, and you spiffed it up nice and correct. My suggestion is on the removal of the finish that came on it: a card scraper would make short work of that instead of sandpaper. Once again, great job, I really enjoyed this.

That should keep it in good order for your grandson or granddaughter. Great job.

The finish is SOOO satisfying! Well done!

Great job. Beautiful piece. Congratulations!!

Well I have to say this is one of the coolest restoration projects I have ever watched. I restored my Grandfather’s camp axe but I think I will look into building the stand. Well done!

Grandfather would be proud brother. Outstanding job 🔥👍🔥

Very good work. Your grandfather would be proud of you. Thanks. Best wishes from Germany

Beautiful restoration!

Great job! That axe was never so cherished.

Beautiful job!

That was so awesome ❤😊

Great work. Grandpa would be proud.

Man I love those doe foot handles.

Awesome job, I have my grand father's axe, it has only had three new heads and two new handles!

Very nice. Over and above for sure.

Nice job bud! Beautiful!

Very well done!

Du beau travail et un bel hommage a votre grand-père, bravo.

Beautiful!!

Yup totally using that stand idea for my restoration projects

Beautiful. Thank you

Looks great, well done.

That brand is an Ace Hardware hammer! Never knew they could look so good, great job!

Great looking axe! I also use a roofing axe as my camp hatchet.

Wow great job

Very nice work!

Gorgeous a thing of beauty obviously with much love

A great tribute.

That brass insert and the leather strap really added so much to the finished look. A nice little restoration.

I think your grandfather would be very amused at how much work you put into his drywall hatchet 🤣

When you started to make the wooden housing for the ax, I was like.... ;Cool. He is going to use a hand saw'. Then I burst out laughing when you pulled out the circular saw, lol. Wonderful restoration. Thanks for sharing.

Nicely done.

Great job!

Your grandpa would be proud! 👍

That is fucking NICE. Your grandfather would have been so proud to see how talented his grandson is…. All the best !!!!

Ready for display at the art gallery!

Wow! Very impressive. That True Temper is new now! Good job my friend

Fine work! Beautiful piece!

Good job 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Well done!

never shake your clear finishes, always stir this lessens the possibility of bubbles

Wow the hatchet came out bad ass an the stand came out very nice

one of the best restoration

great project

Great work..looks nice...

Very nice!!

I’ve watched quite a few of this type video lately and this was as good as any of them

You did it well 😊

Stunning restoration, just a little surprised you didn't us an axe wedge.

If you make another, I’d love to see the wood waxed with carnauba wax! The sheen that comes from the burnish of that hard wax is just beautiful

You don't see roofing hatchets often anymore. Well done 👍

Hello! Make a video of what chemistry and for what, the paint you use in the restoration... Please :)

Very good restoration 👍

Beautiful

Ya did yer grampa proud dude! Very nice!

Outstanding

Dawn power spray has really been a go to for me lately too.

Very nice👍

It looks great!! Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up as a support

Very, but very nice job, man; not only the hatchet is now in very nice condition but also looks awesome... True Temper is a brand I like very much, great tools. Warm regards from Mexico.

That is almost too beautiful to use now. Good job!

Very nice roofing hatchet, for flat polishing; use a piece of granite for a backing as you will get a truer surface.

Perfect!

Perfect thanks 👍

It would be great if you could add the name of each product as you use them onto the screen.

Well done but it would be nice if you could add some text to tell us what exactly it is that you're doing and what products you are using. Cheers

The end result was a real surprise. Nice work!

Nice. I have a Winchester hatchet similar to that from 1924. It’s razor sharp, in original condition but with a new custom hickory handle. I just throw it under the front seat of my truck. Never know when you’ll need a good sharp pre war hatchet.

nice job!

? Was your Grandfather a roofer by any chance As it's looks like an Old Style Roofers Axe...

excellent job 100%

BRAVO....BRAVO...BRAVO....

Nice job. Never seen an axe holder like that.
