TORN APART Axe Restoration

- Axe Restoration where I restore a double bit axe who is torn apart and have broken edges with lots of dents.
ABOUT THE AXE
This a is a double bit axe from Gränsfors Bruk in Sweden. It is based on a North American working axe but are often used as a throwing axe because it rotates very well in flights. Both edges are identical, and the centre of gravity is carefully positioned. It weights around 2,3 kg.
This one was given to me by the guy at the metal dumpster a few years back. It was not that rusty back then, but I admit that the axe head has been laying outside on my working bench in the harsh Nordic weather for a few years.
Both the edges on the axe head have been mistreated very badly and got big dents. The middle of the head has literally been torn apart or cracked maybe during the very cold conditions here in Sweden. We have around -30 degrees Celsius sometimes during wintertime. Now is the time to restore this beauty of a tool back to awesome.
ABOUT THE AXE RESTORATION
I started by removing the silly stick I used as a temporary handle for the axe. After that I gave the double bit axe head a very nice high-pressure 130PSI sandblasting. I used aluminum oxide as my blasting media.
Both the edges on the axe head have been mistreated very badly so there was a lot of big dents. I choose to repair the dents by welding new material on the edges. After I grinded the excess material away the edges looked very good again.
I also welded the big crack there went all the way through the front side of the axe head. I used stick welding for this repair because the metal was much thicker there compared with the edges. After I had done all the repairs, I hardened the edges of the axe and did a quick cleaning job after the heating process.
I gave the edges a nice polish on my flip table bench polisher machine and did some cool laser engravings on the side of the head.
I had a handle that I adjusted to fit for this project and finally I gave the handle some Nordic teak oil.
I am really satisfied with this Awesome Restoration. I think that this came out perfect and the engravings really gives it that Nordic Forest touch!

The sandblasting section is always my favorite. It's so satisfying watching the rust magically disappear.
yes it really is satisfying to watch :)
I agree
I had a sand blaster for years and loved it till I had to retire used to clean rust and old paint off of a lot of things it required a 30 gallon air compressor.
@@AwesomeRestorations Why did you censor the welding flash? Is it considered inappropriate graphic material?
@@momo1461 flashing is inappropriate 😂
Спасибо, дорогой друг, за доставленное удовольствие. В очередной раз смотрел, как ты колдуешь над ржавым куском металла и восхищался твоей работой. Удачи тебе и крепкого здоровья.
Thank you so much 👍
The condition of that axe makes you wonder what he was fighting with. You definitely resurrected this axe and then went one step further and made it look magnificent.
thank you so much I am glad you think so :)
Any channel who covers the light on the welding spot deserves this free comment to help the video! Keep up the good work!
thanks a lot 😊
Отличная работа💪🏼👍🏼наблюдать за процессом, отдельное удовольствие👌🏼 спасибо за видео👏🏼
thank you very much I really appreciate it :)
There is something very relaxing about watching your videos. I think it's the way you take your time, and show every detail and process of your work. Outstanding work as always!
Wow, thank you!
dude that laser etching was an awesome touch! the repair of the woodsman's/lumberjack axe was basic blacksmithing and some welding then to add a custom etching looks great!!
thanks I am glad you liked it 😊
I’m completely impressed by the engraving, not mention the repairs.
thanks very glad to hear that
T-850 and i really enjoy watching you restoring things it's so satisfying to watch something broken and nearly destroyed gets restored to it's former glory
Thanks Adam - I really appreciate it :)
the T-850 has an armored endo skeleton. by specs that looks far more like the original t-800 as seen in t-2.
Is nobody going to talk about how he always puts eye protection on the things that are very bright just brilliant
I was going to say that, it’s so nice that he does that, absolute masterclass
Honestly, thank you very much, never have i seen a you-tuber cover the bright arc while welding, very considerate of you, love all your videos
Отличная реставрация, и сварка и заточка боевого топора класс. Спасибо за видео, лайк однозначно.
Thanks a lot for watching 😉👍
Интересно а все кто пишут отличная реставрация знают что Сварочная проволока, и сталь топора это разные марки? И сварочная проволока это не закаляемая сталь. Она всегда будет мягкой и не будет держать заточку.. Так что топору только внешний вид целого предали. А пользоваться им будет невозможно.. При первом ударе кромка замнеться.
Спасибо огромное за контент, всегда получаю эстетическое наслаждение от просмотра! У тебя золотые руки!
many thanks Nick I am very glad that you also like this video 😊
Как всегда вся работа на высоте👍
Thank you so much :)
I worked for a guy like you as a burn table operator. He was a true artist, as are you. The sticker in the back window of his Ford read just weld it. You guys don't know what an obstacle is. Just opportunities. It's a pleasure to watch you work.
thank you so much for your kind words 😊
Прекрасная работа. Вот только пользоваться таким топором нельзя. По сварочному шву всё равно лопнет.
this is for decoration only now
Согласен по шву, он не делал фаски и наложил поверхностно одним электродом. Хотя, заметь, в печи он снял напряжение в металле после сварки и масло разогрел для закаликвания. Но как произведение искусства тянет. И подкупает любовь мастера к своему делу.
Как всегда прекрасная работа, на 5 баллов. 👍👍👍
Thanks buddy :)
This is a pure cosmetic restoration i dont think those edges would last a couple of solid strikes not to mention that crack but aestethically it looks very nice
I know nothing about this and was wondering if you can fill me in on why you think it won't last,
@@gregsoad5031 he didn't temper the edge. After clenching in water it's going to be incredibly brittle. You have to heat it about 450° f depending on the steel to take some of the stress out and make it more durable
@@OdegardOnline thank you! 🙏🏻
@@gregsoad5031 also mig wire isnt good at hardening. As the steel used for the head is much much harder, so even with proper hardening/tempering the edges that were welded wiill still be considerable soft. Would have been better off just grinding off the chipped edges and letting it sit in evap-o-rust for a few days to find out where the hardening line was and how much he has to work with.
@@DuriensBane interesting, how can I learn about all this?
Greetings from Maine, USA! I had picked the OWL! Thank you for sharing!
thanks for watching. Maybe I will make the owl anoter time 🦉🦉
Oh my god I'm barely one and half minutes into the first video I've seen of you and I'm filled with indescribable joy. Not only was there no long intro but I LOVE not being blinded by the welding!!I love these kinds of videos but they all hurt my eyes from the welding.
thank you so much for watching I am glad you liked it 😊
Такой и на стену не стыдно повесить. Отличная работа, каждая реставрация как отдельный вид искусства.
Thanks for watching and for your kind words I really appreciate it 👍 and I will hang it on my offices wall very soon 🙂
@@AwesomeRestorations Ждем отдельный видеообзор по вашей мастерской.
@@deadhunt9783 да, было бы неплохо!
Feeling a little low today, watched another of your amazing restorations was just what I needed as a pick me up, I love the way you tackle each project with the utmost care and attention to produce a work of art from salvaged items. 👌
Great to hear! Thanks for watching and for your kind words I really appreciate it 👍🙂
That's more than a restoration, it's been reborn as something even greater! Lovely work with this one.
Many thanks!
The recovery process is great, try not to hit your hand, keep up the good work
thanks a lot
You are now my favorite welder. Never seen someone put the dot there to protect our eyes from the weld. Thank you so much!!!
Yes, welding observed on LCD would kill your eyes... how stupid peple are :)
thanks a lot Chris for your comment and for watching I really appreciate it :)
wait, so can your monitor actually translate the brightness of a welding?
Mildly concerned now.
@@tylermech66 no, it can't
@@MarioMartinazzi Didn't think so, but just had to be sure.
Это великолепно мой друг, спасибо за твоё творчество! По другому это не назовешь. Из России с любовью!
thank you so much for your kind words 😊
Он на барахолке нашёл старый топор изуродовал его, засрал каким-то хим средством, а потом обратно собрал. ))
@@user-pz3ph3xy3d ещё и заварил режущую кромку, закалка и отпуск идут нахер)
Спасибо за прекрасное видео. Однозначно МЕДВЕДЬ!
Great video - however, one question from someone who knows nothing about metallurgy - by welding the edge, is the axe still functional or would those welds just crumble under use? Endorsed.
Неужели он сразу провёл пескоструйную обработку, без предварительного электролиза, удаления ржавчины канцелярским ножом, без использования соплей единорога??? Действительно Awesome
yes I did sandblasting is king :)
Да вообще много странного.... Во первых ржавчина равномерная, нет глубокой. Наваривать лезвие, тоже интересно чем он это делал, а кромка потом закалится? Шов обычно открывают для заварки... Сначала впоямую в тисках зажимает, делач вмятины, потом вышлифовывает до состояния муха не сидела.... Можно еще много до чего докапываться... А видеоряд красивый... Не поспоришь
Красава! У тебя классные ролики! Золотые руки! Смотреть приятно, нервы успокаивает. Молодец!
Thank you so much :)
Шикардос!!!👍👍👍

Was hoping you’d chop some wood with it.
dont be late more and more i like to see your work and i choice lwel
AR 😎👍👌🎶🎵
Blessed Evening Po Sir!

Top notch quality as always!
Mycket bra video. Längtar efter nästa👍🏻🇸🇪
You'll always have a like from me for a job well done! 👍
I always rate your videos because you are one of the people who cares about putting protection on the screen when soldering
thank you so much
Interesting, I didn't like that he did that....🤷🏽♂️
Nobody:
Me @ 8:49 of video: If I don’t have that brand of baby powder, I don’t want baby powder..
A very beautiful axe! As always, you have a good restoration! Thanks for the video!
This is no ordinary ax used for chopping firewood, looking at the way he restored it, it contains a whole sky of art.
thank you so much :)
Это два топора ссср приварены друг к другу
I like the fact that you have beer fridge in your shop. Not a little mini fridge, no no no, a big corner store type cooler. 👍👍
Cheers 🍻
the beer fridge has 2 kinds and not just some beer lol lol no no the whole fridge is full love it hahahaha..
First time seeing your videos, and the editing, restoration, blurred welding, satisfying sandblasting, and everything else makes me wonder why I never found your channel sooner!
Welcome aboard! Glad you liked it 😊
Im glad he’s protecting us from that UV light. We all know how phones replicate both visible and invisible portions of the light spectrum.
You are not only a restorer, but a magician as well! We both picked the bear! Somehow you knew... hahaha! BTW, your videos are so satisfying to watch. Love it!!
Thank you so much :)
I'm curious: is the soldering/filling as strong as the forged material? or are those weak points?
Good question. No the repair on the edges are absolutely weaker. But this one is a show axe going up on the wall. So it does not matter with this axe 🪓 thanks for watching 👍👍
@@AwesomeRestorationsif it was going to be used, how would you make it stronger?
Это здорово! Люблю когда с любовью и теплом чинят старые вещи, восстанавливают. Да, именно восстанавливают, а не выбрасывают!
thank you very much I am glad you like it :)
Ну если не считать то что он кромку наплавил из не закаляемой стали и теперь она не держит заточку и вообще мягкая. это даже по звуку обработки слышно.. Это я вам как профессиональный сварщик говорю. Так что это теперь максимум экспонат на стену..
God bless the man that invented wire fed welders
Yes I chose the Bear! I heated my home with hand split hardwood for 20 years and would have loved an axe with my totem engraved on it! Your channel is magnificent, many try to copy your style but they always fall short. Keep up the AWESOME work! 👍
thank you so much for your comment and support I really appreciate it ❤
Хочу отдельно подчеркнуть, что здесь мы получаем эстетическое удовольствие, а у тебя это получается передать на высшем уровне. И всё с юмором. (Да, медведя выбрал!) Здорово, успехов каналу!
thank you so much for your comment I am glad you like my video. And good choice with the bear 🐻👍
Thought it would be a lynx. But the bear looks even better! Thank you for such an interesting and wonderful video. Thank you!
thank you so much glad you liked it
That was brilliant! And yes I did pick the bear but I wasn't expecting the design to come out that good. You really do a great job on your projects and the videos themselves. Well done!
Thank you so much Tanya 😀
Это было очень круто и интересно 🙏🪓🔥🐻🔥🙏🔥
thank you I am glad you think so
I love axes, especially double-headed ones. They remind me of vikings!
Also I thought it was cool how you put a gray spot over the bright sparks to block them!
I did choose the bear actually 😀
Thanks a lot 👍
As far as I know only Americans use double headed axes. My family has for generations worked in the Swedish forests around Uppland cutting wood and making charcoal for the ore industry back in the days and I have never heard of anyone using one for real.
I agree they look cool but as a tool they are worse than a singel edged one.
спасибо за великолепное видео и за ваш труд
Thank you so much 👍
The restoration job looks great, but I'd be interested in seeing how well those edges hold up. I would think any solder there would break away after some use.
thank you so much, I am not going to use the axe for anything else that decoration now
@@AwesomeRestorations Actually there are tool steel filler roods for tig that could be use to repair edges and have them hardened and stress ready. Maybe for the next project? 😊
@@AwesomeRestorations maybe you should add this into the description, or pin another comment up top. otherwise you will continue to get guys like me saying "that edge weld is shit. Its not a hardenable metal", "that center weld, shouldve been ground out", "that center weld, shouldve done min 3 passes on it.", "its not hot enough for proper quench", "why the fuck you quenching in water? Thats not a W series steel", and so on
thanks.
It's not solder. They were welded.
Greetings to you from Russia, from Siberia! You are a great master! Golden hands and a golden head + a kind heart! Good job brother!👍🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much
I LOVE the humor in your videos!! Small and subtle details here and there.. Like the bear blinking etc etc..
Your videos are so well done and your restoration work is superb. So calming! Thank you!
Thanks a lot 👍
I love your custom engravings and your attention to detail 😎🤟🏻
Absolutely beautiful. Ready for the zombie apocalypse
Thanks buddy :)
@@AwesomeRestorations .
I did pick the BEAR, WOW, you're blacksmithing is awesome. 😊😊😊
good choice :) thanks a lot
Looks great! Way better than a mirror finish!
thanks, I am glad you think so 😊
Шикарная работа. Съёмка и монтаж тоже на высоте.
thank you very much :)
Dude i love your videos. I have tried restoring some of my old tools because of you (obviously with a lot less methods at my disposal lol) but it is really fun. Time consuming but very fun. Keep it up bro. You're great.
thanks a lot, I am very happy to hear that I have inspired you to restore some of your old tools :) have a nice evening
Ficou um ótimo trabalho! Parabéns desde aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷.
muito obrigado :)
Você é realmente bom no que faz !!! Ficou irado !!!
I would totally raid a medieval village with that, friend. 🏰 Thank you for video
Thanks - buddy 🧑🎄
Awesome work my friend. And yes picked bear like you 👍🏽
That hammer of Thor was pretty cool too
thanks so much glad you picked the bear :)
самый лучший канал)) а холодильник для пива - просто мечта)
I've been chopping wood with two Gransfor Bruk axes for decades. Very nice to see this one put back into service.
thanks for your comment Sam :)
Trzonek po demontażu wyglądał tak, jak gdyby dopiero został wykonany i włożony w "uszkodzoną" głownię 😉 wygląda zbyt idealnie nawet pod rdzą 😊
Maybe he put it in just for the sake of the video.
But it seems that he has directly destroyed his edge.
Parabéns que Deus o abençoe pelo seu dom, assisto você sempre aqui do Brasil
muito obrigado :)
Man the initial weld on the edge was what blew me away. I don't know how to weld, but I love watching it. And then fixing the middle of it blew me away. And then the bear ! Is there anything you can't do?? Keep up the great work, brother. This is next to none.
thank you so much for your comment I really appreciate it 😊
Show de bola restauração ✌👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
I am absolutely shocked. This is the second time I have seen you harden a blade in water.

New here, but i love the restore.. looks beautiful.
Thanks and welcome
I love the comments of "I'll try and restore....." and it always comes out awesome!

Piece of art 👌🏻
Thank you Martin for sharing your talents … we’re waiting for more
thank you so much 😊
I like the fact that you blur out the sparks for safety purposes, very thoughtful 👍🏾👌🏾
The sparks and bright light is perfectly safe when watching on a video. 😊
Yes i chose the bear! And thanks for your Videos and Teachings Sir!
It takes an extreme amount of patience to do this kind of work, and you're a straight up artist.
thank you so much ❤
Love the T-800 carrying a mini gun
glad to hear that
Нет смысла закрывать сварку в видео, ибо ульртрофиолетовое излучение не передаётся через экран
Yes I know that it won't hurt your eyes but darkening the screen makes the video much more pleasant to watch for those who are light sensitve 😉
Excelente trabalho de restauração e de renovação! Parabéns ! < Brazil >
Thank you so much :)
Quick side note. If you want to use the axe afterwards it is a very bad idea to use welding for any sort of repair on the edges because the Steele in the welding wire is not meant for an edge or hardening and therefore is going to make the axe underperform when used. However for the purpose of this video it is nice to watch and as long as you don't use the axe it's a complete fine way of repairing it because esthetic wise it looks great
In another lifetime you were one of those mytholohical blacksmiths of the viking sagas! 👌👍
I would love that titel :)
