    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. What really get me is, 1, 190, 183 people viewed this video, yet only 22.3K voted one way or another. Just how much effort does it take to click like or dislike? Come on folks take a chance, be daring and vote one way or another. Yarimasu took the time and made considerable effort to entertain you and the end result speaks for it'self. 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 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?

    • @JohnDaker_singer
      @JohnDaker_singer 5 лет назад +43

      @@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.

      @george867 5 лет назад +8

      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.

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

    • @cobre7717
      @cobre7717 3 года назад

      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.

    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.

    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.
