  • Hello everyone and welcome to my channel, today I am restoring a very rare and rusty ax!
    I have never seen such an ax, there is only a photo of this ax on the Internet, but no one it written anything about its history. This time I went on a mini hike to get an ax handle. I liked the result and I hope you enjoy this video!

    I’m in agreement with a couple of the other comments it’s a stone mason’s axe used for working down a surface before finally tooling flat with either a hand held bolster ( a wide chisel type tool) or a finishing axe which has no teeth. Typically the face being worked flat was vertical when using axe type tools. Modern masons tend to use hand held Claw tools with replaceable bits powered by a hand held malt or with an air gun. the face being worked in the horizontal plane. usually on a masons banker or bench

    Maybe a Mason's Crandall Hammer. The main difference I am seeing is the axe you restored has flat teeth where a Mason's Crandall Hammer has pointed teeth. A 19th century stone mason's tool used for dressing soft building stones.

    My grandfather was a master builder and I used to hang around some of his work sites as a kid (about 7-8 years old). One of the buildings he was working on had a limestone facade and I distinctly remember the stone masons using a single edge tool quite similar to this. Great restoration.

      Thought it was an axe till I saw this comment. After googling it, a tool called the stone splitter looked similar with the teeth. Like you use an axe to split logs. You could use this maybe to split rock. Just a guess, I have no experience or knowledge as a stone mason.

    • @Aaron_Hanson

      It’s similar to a scutch hammer. My grandfather was a stonemason and he had a great collection of these and similar tools for cutting, splitting and shaping stone.

    Most of the modern ones I have seen have a flat, more axe like blade on one side. The toothed edge may have pointed teeth or flat ones shaped similarly to a toothed chisel. They have both architectural and a sculptural uses.

    That is an einsparenspleibe "splicing axe"! Due to the birch and ash trees in the Rhine Valley in Germany having stringy sinew, in the 1600's the people of that area came up with this unique style of axe! The formation of the stratification of the head made it easier to chop the trees into pieces.......but actually..I'm completely full of shit and made that all up!

    Whats cold bluing

    • @YoungRestorer
      @YoungRestorer  Год назад

      "Cold" bluing is generally a selenium dioxide based compound that colours steel black, or more often a very dark grey.
      It is a difficult product to apply evenly, offers minimal protection and is generally best used for small fast repair jobs and touch-ups.

    It's a shame that those pits were so deep. A smooth polish with nickle plating would have looked awesome.

      These pits are the history of this item and they are also traces of forged work.

    It’s appalling how many chisel’s get abused as ‘rust removers’ - not just this channel, loads of restoration channels reach for a sharp edge and immediately blunt them. Grr Arghh.

    Fun fact: the original version doesn’t have grooves, nor did he restore it, he should’ve smoothed it out but he did not
