Old Axe Restoration and Customization
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 июн 2024
- I got this old rusty axe head which I wanted to restore and do a viking style modification to it. This project was a little different from my usual videos but it was a lot of fun becasue I got to practice using leather crafting to make the leather sheath and using the laser engraver with my own designs.

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 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
That block of wood must've felt so honored to be chopped by that axe.
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.
@@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!
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.
Nice work, Kratos will be by to pick it up shortly
Lol! 😂😂😂
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.
Great video and good to see Duktor is now totally rust free 😎👍
Wow, you turned that old axe-head into a real gem. The engraving and leather work was very nicely done!
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.
Galvanised square steel
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.
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
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 🤤
Okay, now I want a laser...
Don't even joke around with the Ducktor like that...!
You call this restoration and mastery of a craft. I call this magic.
Ducktor need a hazmat suit for some of his jobs
We eating good this
Weekend just because of odd
tinkering
Ah, my favorite no-talking channel.
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
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.
Thank you for your high quality and satisfying ASMR restoration videos ODD tinkering!
Fine tools you have Mr. OT, your work is a pleasure to watch, always.
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 !
What a beautiful piece! I'd say that's more for Viking head smashing than wood cutting!
Blown away! Expert craftsmanship! Beautiful work!
Very nice! I especially liked the aegisjalmar you laser engraved. Excellent touch.
My favourite restoration channel 🥹
I'm so glad you sewed the leather sheath. It looked difficult to do, but the end result was fantastic 👌
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.
"Liquid Ice". Haha, I love it. Had me giggle for a bit 😂
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. ❤
absolutely beautiful. amazing work. scrap metal into a work of art.
Another fantastic job from you and the Ducktor!!!
❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yay! Love when you have new videos!
That is awesome! Thor now needs a horse.
With an axe like that you’re totally getting into Valhalla
Odd, you're a maniac in the best way possible.
That thing is badass.
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.
Been a huge fan of this channel for years I’m glad to see good content still comes out (love the video game console restorations as well)
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!")
Always a good day when you upload. This was my video to relax and get ready to go to bed 😊
Wow, very nice Job, realy awesome restoration, love it.👍
Odd tinkering, sir, you are very strong o.o
glad you did not forget the ducktor great video
Amazingly enjoyable to watch while listening to the Skyrim score
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
Noooo now Dr.Duck has a rust butt 😢Did you give him a scrub after?😅 Proof of Life please 😂
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...
Dope AF results, Odd Tinkering!
Thank you for not making duck soup.
I like this channel from the earliest days with the cigarette lighter restos, but this man set himself apart from the other channels with the electronics and game consoles. While I do enjoy the tool restorations like this, I find myself more impressed with OT bringing say, a game controller back to life...
Loved that you showed it chopping wood at the end. Great job!
Turned out incredible!
Really enjoyed this video, a little different to your usual videos. Very talented :)
Beautiful Axe. Tool/weapon of fine elegance 🤘🏼
Yes, cool looking axe.
As always a great job. This Axe looks cool after renovation 🥰🥰
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
What a transformation, great job thank you for sharing
What a beautiful axe. Excellent work Mr. Tinkering. 🪓
Great job as always. Thanks for the video.
Wow! Absolutely beautiful and nice work😎👍
When replacing an axe head, you should hold the axe upside down by the handle and strike the butt with a rubber hammer. This forces the axe head to seat deeper into the handle, so it won't come flying off if you ever use it. Unless you're just using it for wall decorating
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.
Lovely work, you never disappoint sir!
is there anything this man can’t do?! from crusty dorito to a beautiful axe, what a treat of a video❤
The magic is that he pulls down the axe into the tub with Ducktor and then takes a new one out!) Ducktor makes the electrolysis.
Stunning work.
🔥
Love these videos!
Beautifully done, I like the laser engravings very much. Thanks for sharing,
These are just so satisfying to watch.
Is there anything you cannot make? This thing looks badass!
seriously outstanding work here!
Fabulous, always the highest quality finish and you never disappoint
The way I yelled at my screen when you were gonna put the Ducktor in the boiling pot 🥺
Awesome axe restoration 👍👍
Oh this was just delightful. I don't like many videos even of my subs but this one I did like ❤
Superb work as always
7:18 New Aphex Twin single just dropped
Work of art
Too beautiful to use.
All this hard work... I am impressed.
That looked so sick.
Beautiful!!! I like the rusty smooshy soup!
Absolutely gorgeous!!! ❤❤❤
Это не топор,а произведение искусства!❤😮😮😮
As soon as I saw this I was wondering if he was doing Kratos' axe from God of War lol. Great work as always mate!
Beautiful work 👏🏻👏🏻
