I would have to say about between 35 to 40 sanding discs. And the chunks gone from the rubber pad on the sander is from hitting a sharp edge with it I would say 🤔. I love all the restorations you do no matter what they are !! ( so anything is good with me ) Great work by the way !!👍👍
Guessing 16 sheets of sand paper. 4 grits, one for each quadrant of the axe. Same sheet can be used on the side because it's not hardened. Pad is beat up due to the direction when holding the sander going "on to" the metal, as opposed to going "away from" the metal. My pad looks like that, too! Nice work mate! That axe is gorgeous!
Awsome restoration. I personally have a hatchet pretty similar to yours, same brand. Same conservation state. But I'm preserving most of time using marks on it. I can imagine a fireman in a hurry trying to open an old solid oak door... As a result of a research I did, I found it was a fireman's tool. I think they use it to open doors, and even to open a hole into a brick wall. I tested the point of it against a hard concrete pavement, using all my strength. I hold it with both hands and hit the concrete surface. The steel is so hard - I personally think it's forged steel - that it didn't suffered even a small scratch! High quality tool. I think it would easily open a sheet metal made car roof, in an emergency. I'll send some photos of it for you. 👏👏🏆🏆🏆 fro 🇧🇷 Brazil
We carry one of these on the airfield crash truck at work along with the actual tin opener axes, the RAF guy that trains us says they are basically an evolved boarding axe from the sailing days. Your foam backing pad is rinsed because it got near the blade, I know because mine looks exactly the same for the same reason! Beautiful job by the way mate.
Thank you! and yes, I learned very quickly to grind away from the sharp side lol!!!! And , can you believe i found that hatchet at an auction here in Texas? when i saw England on the handle i snapped it up!
That turned out gorgeous! Great job. 30 discs of sandpaper and the edge looks like that because you caught it on a blade edge. 😂 Yes do more of these! Happy Thanksgiving! 😃👍🏼
this may be of interest, i recently sold one of these with the same date stamp, the two numbers relate to the army division that used them, on mine there was the British crowfoot stamp indicating military ownership
Nice work!

Thank you! I used 6 different grits and i will post the number of pads i used on my community page 😎
Looks fine to me 👍
👍🏼
Great to see the handle be respected and not pointlessly torn out. Save the handles! 🧡
If it's good, I save it 😎

Came out really good, it would have been a bear to replace that handle, lucky it was in such good shape. Hell of a job.
Thank you so much!
Tung Oil is another really good choice for a wood finish.
👍🏼😎☺️
Nice job, thanks for not obliterating the origin stamp. I would enjoy a fullsize axe restoration video. Or, really whatever you choose.
Sounds good!
20 sanding discs and teak oil is underrated 😆👍nice vid
Thank you! And yes I really like teak oil
The damage to the sander is due to not using it on a completely flat surface, or using it on its edge, and it is causing uneven wear.
Or catching the sharp edge of the blade 😎
Dont forget to like and share this video!
Let me guess IF we don't yer gonna hunt us down with the axe? 😊
It’s a British tomhawk/ boarding axe either military or civilian
👍
I would love to see more tool restorations. Great job by the way
I've been working on a neat die grinder that should be coming up soon 😊
Nice. I look forward to it. Thanks for replying
Probably about 15-20 sanding disks, with the sander looking very well used.
More 😎
I think like 22 disc's
more😎

Very close! And yes, scared the hell out of me when it caught lol

Yes it is! It does have the crows foot, I'll have to see if I can work out the army division
@@FixitRestoreit I sold mine for £60 after taxes, no restoration. Hope you’ve made a penny or two.
@@tommypouncey5667 I only paid $8 for it at an auction, so I think I should be pretty good 😎
iam selling one on eBay for 250 ，it's rare here in north America.
👍
👍🏼
12 disc
Lots more 😎
I'd say upwards of 15 pads you went through, and you minced that pad by catching the edge.
34 on the pads, and yes caught the edge!
It would be a pain to replace that handle
Yes, depends on how easy the 2 pins would drift out
