Axe Restoration [Black Axe With Ebony Handle]

  • I used many techniques in the restoration of this rusty axe. With iron (III) chloride and coffee I blackened the rusty axe head. I made the new handle out of ebony, which now revealed a completely black axe. Restoring the old axe I had to grind, file, remove rust, harden, sandblast and saw. This old hand tool I found again on a flea market website and wanted it badly. This video is not only to quickly show someone something, but also to relax and escape from everyday life!
    ▬ What did I do ?! ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
    The axe head was extremely rusted, so I removed the coarse rust with rust remover and a screwdriver. The remaining rust I removed with an electrolysis, because the result was not satisfactory I still sandblasted it. Afterwards I made the rough contour with an angle grinder and on the belt grinder I sanded the sides until almost no pitting was visible, up to a grit of 600. In the hardening furnace I now heated the axe to 820°C and quenched it in oil. Before dipping the old hand tool in iron (III) chloride and coffee, I ground the surface to a grit of 1500. The new wooden handle is made of ebony. Now all that was left was to assemble everything and the black axe was ready.
    ▬ Good to know ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
    I used the following tools: Wire brush, screwdriver, rust remover spray, angle grinder, laboratory power supply, glass container, test tube, cable ties, side cutters, sandblasting cabinet, abrasive corundum, belt grinder, file, drawing needle, welding helmet, welding machine, sandpaper, orbital sander, hardening furnace, blacksmith tongs, immersion heater, cleaner, wire, iron (III) chloride, steel wool, instant coffee, knife, pencil, scroll saw, Japanese saw, jigsaw, wood file, leather strap

    My 10yr old son who has autism was sitting watching this video this morning so of course I looked it up to make sure it's a good channel. Thank you so much for making these! He's been laying listening to the sounds all morning.

      @ForgottenShineRestoration It's relaxing him actually! At some points he was just laying on the couch listening to the sounds of the video while staring at the ceiling. He also really likes the rust removal and chemical restoration type parts.
      After I posted this comment some of his siblings came out to watch also. They all really loved the turtle doing different things throughout.
      He's definitely still paying attention though as I overheard him telling his sibling to "Just watch and trust the process." 🤣

      ​​@@maggiemiller6056 In my head it translated as your wise young son speaking in Yoda, like: "While watching we trust and the process is just." or some suchlike, idk why.😅
      Probably because your son sounds like a profound, certain and encouraging sibling.😊
      P.S. I enjoyed your wholesome share, as well.

    Great work! a little tip I learned while welding a cracks is you need to locate each end of the crack and drill out each end of the crack and then fill your drill hole and weld over. Maybe not a big deal on things like this but on bigger pieces that withstand more stress if you don't do it, the crack can still continue cracking. Great videos keep it up!

    One thing I like about your videos is that you sow all the processes you tried, even those which failed or were not totally successful. That's very honest and teaches a lot. The only thing I would change is the length of subtitles, as they're too fast for me and I have to either rewind or pause the video to read them in full. But it's a great material!!
    By the way, excellent tip on how to do a straight cut on wood with a saw.

      Yeah, I'd keep the subtitles up a bit longer just because some of us like to make certain we are understanding every element of what you are explaining and also your way of speaking (vernacular?) is different than mine, so that takes a second too.
      But I LOVE the subtitles!!!😊

    I enjoy your restoration videos because they seem really genuine.
    I've watched too many where the item has supposedly sat in dirt for decades, and they all have the same green laden rust regardless of age or location found. Then it all chips away easily with a bit of poking of brushing.
    I can see your rust had really bonded with the surface over time and needed some real elbow work

    • @SeaweedBeastboy

      When you’re really into watching old abandoned stuff, you can easily separate between fake and genuine ones. And yes, I’ve seen a channel faking many models cars with moss-liked decor and dirt, I can easily say it’s fake lmao. It’s hard to disguise things as old if you don’t really know how to make it into one.

      This type of bearded axe is frequently found in Bulgaria and the surrounding area by metal detection. They were hand forged from around 900CE to 1200CE and were popular throwing axes like the Francica during the middle Byzantium era during the middle ages.
      A good number of these were sold on Ebay around 15 years ago.

As an inexperienced person with absolutely no knowledge of how to do what you just did, I must ask, why did you not fill in some of the pits prior to applying the finishing touches? It seems like you could have used the tig (MIG) welder to do that just like you did with the head of the ax. Just curious.

      Respect for leaving a comment to the author. I would be grateful if you look at my content and rate it. In one of the videos, I made a gold case for a Zippo lighter.
