At first I thought reusing the old handle was a bold move, but it worked out really well! I loved this video because it made the idea of restoring my old tools much more achievable. It doesn't have to look like a brand new tool, it just has to be functional and comfortable! Thanks!
I have to say that it is nice to see a restoration that is fine and just enough to make a tool functional again. Too many of the restorations that I see are so over the top, where they make the tool look like it’s mirror polished and the handle so loaded with coatings that the tool becomes an object of art rather than a tool. This one looks like you would not mind using it hard right away. The eye candy restorations are pretty, but I would be reluctant to even hold them.
That was a very nice restoration. I always love when the maker's mark is kept. And I can't believe I'm asking this, but tell me more about those shoes.
Edit: I saw your comments on the video, just a rust remover, thanks!!! watching the video as I have an old hatchet that I am looking to restore. what was the solution in the red can that you used? just a rust remover? something I can buy from a local hardware store?
It's Huchem rust remover. It works very well. But there are many other variants to remove rust. Like: evaporust, rustyco even wd-40 has rust remover. I live in the netherlands and the huchem rust remover was the only one I could get, which wasn't very expensive. Sellers of evaporust and other brands don't ship to the netherlands. I know that rustyco is being sold in some hardware stores. You can always use vinigar and (baking) soda. Or electrolysis. I tried al three these things cause I like to try new things. They all three work. I hope you can do something with this answer 💪 Need to restore.

Thanks, 😁, the shoes are called 'klompen' they are made of wood.
This type is called 'scherjon' and they have a leather band. It walks very nive and you can just step in and out.
Need to restore thank you!
That's a big carpenter's hatchet
I do like it but i would change the handle for a longer one, but its ok
