I don't care if that axe was made in 1719 or 2019 , the end result is and always be, a beautiful axe. You worked wonders with that axe, and should be very proud of it.

Thanks for sharing sir, I for one enjoyed watching this video and your other videos. I am 81 years old and appreciate the finer things in life........Ken, Marina California USA
i'd like to think whoever forged that axe head 140 years ago would be proud to know their work survived so long and was seen by so many people. you showed someone a lot of respect by doing this, keep up the good work
"Patina' is nothing more than dirt and rust. I understand that some very valuable items like firearms and furniture are better off leaving alone, but this axe was rusting away to nothingness. This guy did a great job of turning it into a beautiful and useful tool.
Thank you so much. This days the internet heroes think patina is some golden layer on the tools. If you take it off, than coming the blablabla. I take off the history...... Thank you again.
I just didnt if it was a good idea. I mean its an 140 year old axe i mean it might not have historical precedence but couldnt you get money for putting an antique in a museum or other stuff similar to it. I mean sure he did a good job no question about that but isnt it a waste?
@@Ando1428 That's a good question. The short answer is no, it's not a waste. An axe in that condition, no matter what the age, has very little monetary or historic value. No museum would be interested in it unless there was a story associated with it- ie, George Washington chopped the Cherry tree down with it. Without Yarimasu's restoration, this axe would have rusted away behind some barn and nobody would have even noticed.
@@Ando1428 were you the owner of the ax? If not I'm pretty sure the person who owns it can do what ever the fuck he wants to do with his property. Unbelievable we now have internet heroes fighting for the rights of objects. They have nothing better to do then to stalk RUclips to find something to be outraged by. Sad pathetic people.
i know that you mean well when you say "patina is nothing more than dirt and rust" because rust legitimately is a destructive action on the metal- but have you considered there's a line somewhere between leaving the rust on and grinding back the metal 2 or 3 millimeters? I mean removing all the destructive rust and bringing it to a place where it wont continue to deteriorate -or even give it a coat of protective black rust rather than destructive red rust (WHICH IS EXTREMELY EASY TO DO) is a great practice; but then when you are left with the metal, why then destroy the only evidence that the axe was restored? I mean, if "restoring" is meant to mean anything, it would either be "restoring it to a preservable state while maintaining its age" or "restoring it to its original function and form" of which neither are present! if you wanted a brand new, mirror shined axe, you can get them very easily! Indeed this axe now looks no different than a particularly nice axe from any number of manufacturers. Everything unique and interesting about it, mainly its age, has been destroyed.
The spirit of the original maker of this axe, the man who made the mark, would be so happy & proud of your care & skill. Brilliant work by both of you.
Awesome. Love all the criticism. Dude spends crazy time and effort making something amazing from what most of us would throw away and yet there is no shortage of complaints. How many complainers here actually take the time to take their historical garbage to a museum? Most likely none. Loved the upload. Keep being new life to dead things brother. Well done.
@@chris-ig7eo Are any of the criticisms valid though? Like its not even criticism if its just simply a comment of personal preference or downright bad mouthing his work n just nitpicking with nothing helpful to suggest.
Americans are crazy thinking anything older than their grandma belongs in a museum. They should be pleased that this beautifully builds on the past rather than accepting and preserving the decaying state of otherwise mundane things out of some misplaced sense of reverence. This is awesome work.
You did such a beautiful job of polishing the axe, it looks like liquid mercury! Excelent restoration. I'll never look at rusty old tools the same way again. Thanks for posting.
I don’t restore for display it in some museums, but for my personal use. So the question is: If I left the history on it, it will split the wood better?
@@yarimasu8760 That's some dumb shit. If you want something for use go buy a new axe. and those beautiful 1400 years of character you ground away would not have effected the efficiency anyway. Sure get rid of the corrosion but those dimples were beautiful.
2 million people watched this, and only 21 thousand have subscribed to you after seeing such a great result... something's not right in this world. Great video and amazing result!
I don’t know if the marking on the axe was actually a marking made on purpose or if it was due to the axe rusting up but I like that he went along With it and actually emphasized the marking even more
Very good work my friend, very good. The fact that you took a 140-year-old hand forged piece of metal and brought it back to life after all those years is astounding. You used modern tools for your reservation, but I imagine some ancient Japanese blacksmith, sweating over a hot forge pounding that hunk of metal into shape for the first time. His tools were all hand powered and yet he got the job done. Thank you for opening my mind to think about and appreciate the things of the past. We honor the people who came before us by improving on the things they invented. We owe our comfort to there invention.
Hey just so you know, it will actually cool down faster if you just dip it in the water and then take it out and let the water on the surface evaporate, rather than keeping it submerged and relying on just conduction alone. just like how you feel colder if you jump into a pool and then come out wet vs staying in the pool
Is that really true? I think it has to do with the temperature of the water being warmer than the air as most pools are heated. the cold water has more mass to remove the heat than the air around it has as it evaporates. Put your hand in a 450 degree oven for 10 seconds to remove your pizza. now put your hand in 200 degree water for 10 seconds. Tell me which one is more efficient at heat transfer.
A beautiful restoration job. You do great work. The shine on the blade is amazing after how rusted it was when you got it. You have an amazingly talented.😊
Maul. The word you're looking for is Maul. Specifically it's a Splitting Maul, but in modern times all Mauls are Splitting Mauls. A splitting maul is a very thick and heavy axe with a single edge on one side, and a face on the other, that's made with the sole purpose of splitting wood. The large flat face is there so that, if it gets stuck, it can be hit with a large hammer or sledge, essentially turning it into a splitting wedge. On American/European Mauls, the striking face is usually extended and shaped like a sledgehammer's face, so that the Maul can pull double duty.
I normally love to see them all shined up better than new, and you did a wonderful job of that. But 140 years old? After you got it cleaned up the pitting and the patina were incredible. I was hoping you'd keep the grinder on the edge only to sharpen it. Well, it's your axe, your choice. It looks very nice.
now it just looks like a maul that was bought at the hardware store 3 days ago and given a mirror finish. what 140 year old maul? i don't see any 140 year old maul.
It’s amazing how much volume the axe head gets in its appearance from the restoration, it’s like a crusty old brown leaf turned into a beautiful shiny efficient tool.
Wow, it is almost like you brought that blacksmith back to life by giving his work life again. Also, it is also like taking a trip back in time, this is really cool
Superb restoration for sure; a lot of metal removed to get rid of the pitting. I normally like to see the putting and 'pewter' surface effect left and just polished so it can still show it's age. However it's also nice to see such a brave restoration as this too and to prove you can still get a mirror polish. Good job.
I love the way the handle is pinned in originally. Makes it possible to repair rather than replace a handle if you want to. I'm gonna remember that next time I forge an axe.
I know you will do a superb job, as always. I wish in my heart that I was performing this restoration. It looks so satisfying to work on a piece of steel with such age.🙌🙌😁👍🚲

I also wonder how many times this can be done before the axe runs out of material...
