I don't know if anyone has already said this, so I'm just gonna say it. Your videos never fail to make me sleep. I don't mean that in a bad way, I mean your videos are so soothing that it makes me fall asleep because there's no background music, just the raw noise. Just like a couple of the real restoration channels do, they don't put background music, just the noise. I don't know if it's just me. All that said, keep it up. I love real restoration videos like this, probably because I watched American Restoration as a kid, and because restoring something is just good.
I am convinced this guy can do anything and everything. Science whatnots, metalworking, woodworking, electrical, leather working, man is The definition of "jack of all trades" 🙌🏻
Thanks! Maybe not everything (yet) but I learn one project at a time, this was my first attempt at sewing leather more than couple of striches to hold a strap. But jack of all trades is probably a good description however I'm infact a literal master one (very unrelated) trade, but that possibly shows in the science side of the videos.
So it's freaking impressive the work with the laser, but it's insane to think that people used to do those kind of designs on the head by HAND. Amazing video by the way.
@@GreekShinobi223Commenting. When you learn to read, you may notice I wrote that I don't watch MANY of his videos anymore. Don't get all butt hurt because I don't like an inanimate object in a video.
I don't think runes were a thing in what's now Finland. That was more of a Norse thing. That said, the word for "poem" in Finnish, "rúnaí", is thought to have originated as a borrowing of the Old Norse "rún", or possibly from an even earlier phase.
All the "compasses" are medieval in origin, not original (per Doctor Jackson Crawford.). The level of leather working is cringe, even allowing for "lack of tools". There are plenty of places on or IRL to get the tools. I grew up with leather working.
This is amazing. One suggestion what you did with electricity we call Electrolytic degreasing ( i work in a galvanisation plant). What you should try after, since the piece is small and you got a good enough power supply, is electropolishing. Basicly same +/-, just more amperage and bit different chemicals, you can google it the basic chemicals for steel can be bought almost everywhere. It would polish the axe perfectly even without the grinding and paste. Its especially good on pieces that are hard to polish, weird shapes etc,. Good luck.
This makes me want retro "restore and customize" videos. Like, take a game boy, restore it, but then totally change the look of it and then make it a cool leather/metal/whatever case.
retrofuture does a lot of videos like this! he does narrate them though but he loves restoring old gameboys and has many videos where he repairs and upgrades them
You must really love your tinkering. You seem to enjoy working with a wide variety of projects and materials. It's always so interesting seeing how you approach a task and put your own spin on it.
There's something neatly satisfying seeing him restore old things to its original state or even better Also I don't think I'll ever get tired of the duck
Your videos are the reason why later i wan't to have a garage in my house with a little workshop to do the same thing. I just have to improve my skills in woodworking, metalworking, electronics etc.. but i already learn so much with you ! Thanks !
Man see how rusty axe becomes work of art, man happy. Jokes aside, it's incredible your ability to take an old piece of something and bring it back to life, my applauses.
A great video (again)! A few tips about the leather work! A) When doing the stitching line, you don't have to push so hard that it "scrapes" the leather. That damages the leather and make it weaker. Just push enough that it makes a dent, because you want to just have a groove you can follow with your eyes! B) When doing the stitching, you have needle-A and needle-B. When you push needle-A through a hole, don't tighten the thread completely, but leave a small loop of untightened thread behind. Then when you push needle-B through the same hole, pull needle-B also through the small loop of untightened thread! Other than that, really nice work! Well done!
Once again I am in awe with your skills and creativity! And the little jokes make the videos even better. (Also at 4:15 my genuine reaction was "oo, tähtisade!")
Super cool, watching the polishing and sanding processes are always so satisfying, same with the laser engraving! Seeing a video that's a bit different from normal is a neat treat, I'm sure having that axe in your hands at the end was worth the work
Looks like good steal/iron in the axe head so all your attention to detail won’t go to waste. Their beautiful designs in the axe head makes it stand out and the leather case was beautiful to. Good work I appreciate the video.
Wow! What an amazing restoration. You have the hands of a true Craftsman. Totally magical ✨️ Your attention to detail is totally amazing 😊 The end result blows my mind 😮 Thanks for sharing this video with us. Looking forward to seeing your next video . Have a Blessed and Beautiful week ahead of you. ❤
I found a rusty piece of iron rebar but I cant shape it without making alot more noise than my neighbourhood is used to. I saw a video where someone hit rebar lots of times unrilit got hot, then reshaped it. I can make a hammer with a wooden handle but I don't know where to find heat resistant gloves from, plus I would need to cut a massive chunk off
This was amazing! The grain on the handle of the wood, the beautiful leather work, and the fantastic transformation of the rusty old axe head were all top notch. Do you prefer projects like this vs the game hardware restoration? Or is it just liking them both in different ways?
I'd say both are fun, these rusty items are very satisfying and I'd compare the payoff to making art, like "I actually made that", while the electronics offer more about problem solving which is more like "I figured that out" which are both somethin I enjoy but a bit different feelings. But also these old rusty items do force me to figure out problems, usually "how can I make X with my tools" that offers similar satisfaction to figuring out what's wrong with electronics. I do a lot of restorations so this was a lot of fun since it gave me the opportunity to do more creative work than usual, so that was really nice since I haven't posted such work in a while.
i wish youtube allowed toggleable multi audio tracks, because on one hand you work is so impressive id love to listen to you walk me thru it while i play xbox. but also the way you have it is so soothing its equally great! just some wishful thinking, big fan either way!
Wow ‼️You must have a trust fund to pay for all those fabulous tools 🧰. I have autism and staring at rust makes me feel really good. And I like high quality metals. This is one of the kewlest things I’ve ever seen. I like the rune you applied with the laser. Amazing video. 👍☮️🌞
I was originally disappointed when you took the patina from the axehead, however, that engraving was well worth it. If i had enough money I'd get one of those.
7:16 i was passively watching/listening, and for a split second, i thought you were playing a sound clip of the Imperial probe droid from Empire Strikes Back
The leather cap you made for the axe makes it 10x nicer

I find them relaxing too
I’m of the age that all videos make me fall asleep, and I watch 90% with the sound off.
DONT FORGET THE DUCKTOR
Lol, ODD has amazing videos, and if I fall asleep or not, they are fantastic. Sweet dreams from the Ducktor are just a happy bonus!
Works for me mostly every single time

@@OddTinkeringAre you self-taught or have you gone to trade schools?
@@OddTinkeringWould that be electrical engineering?
@@OddTinkeringI would guess you have a degree in chemistry?
Not to mention his ice-cream making skills!
the fact that lazers can do that to metal is extremly cool
Holy crap, what a fascinating way to remove rust. Such a cheap and effective method too! Water, salt, and electricity!
Well.. idk about electricy being cheap but yeah
@@JoeNerdShow It is cheap depending on how you use it. This method requires low voltage
Why would you electrolysis if you are just going to grind it.
Don't use salt, use washing soda. Although salt works, it can cause the formation of deadly chlorine gas when electrical current goes through.
@@Syberz makes me want to use salt more 🤤
So it's freaking impressive the work with the laser, but it's insane to think that people used to do those kind of designs on the head by HAND. Amazing video by the way.
Exactly my thoughts... How did the smiths even do it?? Weapons from that era are no less than relics.
Didn't do it by Hand > unsubscribe :D
I am always looking forward to seeing the ducktor in every video.
Always gives me a chuckle ❤
The ducktor is one of the reasons I unsubscribed and don't watch many of his videos anymore.
Me too.
@@devschlong OK, what are you doing in a comment section of his then?
@@GreekShinobi223Commenting. When you learn to read, you may notice I wrote that I don't watch MANY of his videos anymore. Don't get all butt hurt because I don't like an inanimate object in a video.
Wow, you turned that old axe-head into a real gem. The engraving and leather work was very nicely done!
The fact that the channel is based in Finland makes the rune on the axe a lot more significant
I don't think runes were a thing in what's now Finland. That was more of a Norse thing. That said, the word for "poem" in Finnish, "rúnaí", is thought to have originated as a borrowing of the Old Norse "rún", or possibly from an even earlier phase.
I've always known it to be an Icelandic or Norse compass. A vegvisir or wayfinder.
the word for poem in Finnish is "runo"
What do you mean?
All the "compasses" are medieval in origin, not original (per Doctor Jackson Crawford.). The level of leather working is cringe, even allowing for "lack of tools". There are plenty of places on or IRL to get the tools. I grew up with leather working.
Great video and good to see Duktor is now totally rust free 😎👍

Fine tools you have Mr. OT, your work is a pleasure to watch, always.
From boring rusty axe to a nifty Viking head splitter! Not a restoration, but a reformation. Thanks!

The most amazing part of this video was you hitting the piece of wood in the same spot
I'm so glad you sewed the leather sheath. It looked difficult to do, but the end result was fantastic 👌
Thanks!
You call this restoration and mastery of a craft. I call this magic.
We eating good this
Weekend just because of odd
tinkering
Ah, my favorite no-talking channel.
Nice work, Kratos will be by to pick it up shortly
Lol! 😂😂😂
I was glad to see the Ducktor didn’t get put into the boiling water. Thanks for looking out for him.
Okay, now I want a laser...
Don't even joke around with the Ducktor like that...!
Blown away! Expert craftsmanship! Beautiful work!
Thank you for your high quality and satisfying ASMR restoration videos ODD tinkering!
Very nice! I especially liked the aegisjalmar you laser engraved. Excellent touch.
Man see how rusty axe becomes work of art, man happy.

🔥
I've never been more worried for Ducktor's well-being before today. o_o
He needs a shower 🚿.
I love your restorations videos, I'd like to watching all of them the day long.
Great video
Super cool, watching the polishing and sanding processes are always so satisfying, same with the laser engraving! Seeing a video that's a bit different from normal is a neat treat, I'm sure having that axe in your hands at the end was worth the work
That is one of the most beautiful axes I have ever seen! Superb restoration and cleaver leather work also! 🤗🇦🇺

Amazing, you are so talented. Thank you for the wonderful video.

Loved that you showed it chopping wood at the end. Great job!
That block of wood must've felt so honored to be chopped by that axe.
I would’ve.
Yes, cool looking axe.
Beautiful!!! I like the rusty smooshy soup!
absolutely beautiful. amazing work. scrap metal into a work of art.

is there anything this man can’t do?! from crusty dorito to a beautiful axe, what a treat of a video❤
Beautifully done, I like the laser engravings very much. Thanks for sharing,
Another fantastic job from you and the Ducktor!!!
❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
0:55 poor Ducktor will get all dirty in there. You can lift an anvil?! This ax looks so cool!
Sewing leather looks really hard
That little belt sander is super cool!
Good job mister ODD beautiful restoration beautifully restored well done
Lovely work, you never disappoint sir!
Beautiful Axe. Tool/weapon of fine elegance 🤘🏼
Absolutely genious, i like odd Tinkering. 😅 Greetings from Berlin
It's gorgeous. My great uncle Atilla used a very similar axe in his profession. 👍👍👍
The craftsmanship is excellent as always. 😎
Always a good day when you upload. This was my video to relax and get ready to go to bed 😊
That thing is badass.
Really enjoyed this video, a little different to your usual videos. Very talented :)
i like how you grinded it smooth most others i see leave a lot of patina which is nice but this way is better to me:)
Fabulous, always the highest quality finish and you never disappoint
that was a great finishing job :) you made it come back to life :)
Turned out incredible!
Very nice craftsmanship
I was originally disappointed when you took the patina from the axehead, however, that engraving was well worth it. If i had enough money I'd get one of those.
That was some nice wood splitting skill show off at the end of the video. That's how you know the channel is based in Finland :)
What a transformation, great job thank you for sharing
Yeah it’s really asmr the angle cutter sound, you right
All this hard work... I am impressed.
Wow, very nice Job, realy awesome restoration, love it.👍
seriously outstanding work here!
Very enjoyable. You really are a very talented guy, and hardworking too.
These are just so satisfying to watch.
Oh this was just delightful. I don't like many videos even of my subs but this one I did like ❤
Work of art
What a beautiful axe. Excellent work Mr. Tinkering. 🪓
Wow! Absolutely beautiful and nice work😎👍
You did a good job!!!
Too beautiful to use.
7:16 i was passively watching/listening, and for a split second, i thought you were playing a sound clip of the Imperial probe droid from Empire Strikes Back
Ah man! I wanted to see the laser😜 - still a great project and video like always
As always a great job. This Axe looks cool after renovation 🥰🥰
With an axe like that you’re totally getting into Valhalla
Gotta say... The edge cover was nice to see made.
glad you did not forget the ducktor great video
Amazingly enjoyable to watch while listening to the Skyrim score
Dope AF results, Odd Tinkering!
As soon as the paper template came out I’m like “here we go time for one sexy lookin axe”
I thought he wanted to do some paint job
And then...
Awesome axe restoration 👍👍
