RESTORING A RUSTY DOUBLE BLADED AXE!

- My friends and I love restoring old, rusty tools that collect dust in workshops or sell at vintage or antique sales. We decided to launch a TH-cam channel doing just that!
For our very first video, we’re restoring a rusty double bladed Keen Kutter axe. The handle broke years ago while chopping wood and the axe head has been collecting rust in the corner of our garage.
Time to RESTORE THE AXE!
Our process was pretty straight forward…
We dissolved the axe head rust in Metal Rescue Rust Removal Bath for 6 hours. While waiting for the Metal Rescue to work its magic, we found a large branch that came down in a storm and began to turn it into the axe handle. We crudely squared the branch with a reciprocating saw and then further refined it with a wood planner. We then roughly shaped the wood into a handle with a band saw and belt sander. To finish it off we hand sanded it to 220 grit.
A few hours later, we removed the axe head from the Metal Rescue solution and cleaned it up with a wire brush. We then took an angle grinder with a flap disk to the axe head to further clean and polish it. After that, we moved to the belt sander to work on the cutting edges. We hand sanded the axe head to 2000 grit and then buffed and polished it. The axe head cutting edges were further sharpened with sharpening stones from Sharp Pebble. After a few hours, the axe head was sharp enough to cut through paper and shiny enough to use as a mirror.
All that was left was to attach the axe head to the handle. We shaped the handle head to fit the axe head opening and then split it using the band saw. We hammered in our splint and glued it for extra strength. Final step was to apply a few coats of Watco Danish Oil.
About 8 hours of work and our axe was ready to split wood. We absolutely love the look and feel of the axe handle and polished axe head.
This axe restoration project was a ton of fun and we’re really excited to create more videos just like this one. So please, share this video and subscribe to our channel for more weekly, awesome content from the Rust Rangers!

I never knew cutting wood and polishing metal could be so satisfying 😂🤤
Awesome job. If you run your boards through the whole planer and not just the center, your blades will wear much more evenly.
Gimli will be proud of you
Me again.. beautiful, piece of art. Can't imagine all what you've. Done in the past. Lt8r!
Let us know - should we include similar music in future videos? Or not music at all? Be sure to subscribe for new, weekly restoration videos. Thanks!!
I loved the first song. Incredibly relaxing. Could you tell me what it's called and who it's by?
@@toddthefoxify Definitely. It's called Long Way Home pt. 1 by Albatross. You can find them on www.musicbed.com
drop the audio down a couple of notches on the work, this would be nice to watch and chill out to seeing the process, but the powertool noise is a bit over the top. Would be much better if the background music was less drowned out by the tools and the banging
Similar
I dislike music on these types of videos. I’d rather just hear the natural sounds of the work.
Yea. I need this for my art n crafts project
I like a big sharp axe I cannot lie, my brothers in the woods will not deny, with a swing and a whirl the chips do fly, I like a big sharp axe I cannot lie.
just AMAZING!
When you hang an axe I’m pretty sure that you are supposed to beat it on a little and pick it up and beat it on by the bottom of the handle. It will help it go down on the handle better.
Absolutely astounding.. wonderful restoration to watch
Me gustó tu video sube más por favor
never seen anything better than that my congratulations bro very good
I like the mentality of restoring Things instead of just buying new ones.
Cause he want designed
Thor felt emotional seeing this video. You made him proud.
Thor used a hammer, marvel got it wrong with the axe
SID Minotaur Thor had a hammer in marvel at first before he ever had an axe. His hammer bore the same as the mythology hammer: mjölnir . But they added some other weapons for him later on to contribute to some plot stuff.
Verry good. I know the problem. People throw nowadays forged things away because they're rusty and old. Allthow this axe was just drop forged by machines it isn't right! Forged things can live for centuries! And, with a little work, here it comes back again. To a next live. I'm a hobby blacksmith and thank you verry much for honoring our work!!!!! It's not easy to forge a double bladed by the way!
Sehr schön geworden 👍👍👍👍
If your going to use the little steel hammer to drive that wedge, you should cover the end of the wedge with a small block of hardwood to transfer the impact force along the entire wedge.. final product looks beautiful ...
Fact: You didn’t search for this, yet you’re happy it’s in your recommended
Aidan Jones 👍😁
This is the kind of comment where it gets lots of likes
Tong Itinteang well i think it deserves some likes lol
True
Somewhat?
Who else watch this type of videos before sleeping so that we can get sleep 😴😴😴😴😴😴
*AWOSOME*
Imagine how scared the trees are when they see their dead relative being the handle of an axe
It's like using a someone's head as a bowling ball
@@smudged4090 how is it like that??
@@smudged4090 no how is it like a head as a bowling ball
it's more like a leg used to kill someone
Lol
😂
Well they have no worries. The way he fitted that handle it will probably only last a swing or two. Lol
Yo how have I never seen a mini planer like that in my life that’s sick
what where
KEREN 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Very impressed! Thank you for a great tutorial.
I always play those videos when Im going to bed.

Lol i started doing that a few days ago🤣
I’m in bed
Absolutely badass, that's straight up a work of art... I want one.
Just refit the handle. That was atrocious.
David Suppa agreed
I like when your videos have no music. Better asmr for sleep. Love your restorations!
Best of the Best. Lo mejor de lo mejor. Buen trabajo.
¡¡Quiero tener esa hacha!!
Beautiful work. It will be interesting to see if that spalted handle holds up to some hard use especially being so close the heartwood. Keep up the good work!
That spalted handle was sooo not the same piece of wood he started with lol
I wasn't sure if that axe head would make it back to use! Haha. Amazing results.
If it's on youtube, It's likely to have worked, unless it says fail on it or something hehe
I like the fact that you took the time to create your own handle for the axe.
I wish I had that dewalt tool you used to make it. I hate buying a handle.
You did a good job restoring the axe as well. It looks beautiful. Well done
Thor will be very happy to visit you soon.
I wish my white sneakers would look like this when I restored them.
2:16 Blowing debris to your viewers is the definition of "disrespect".
Just kidding, loved the video! From the moment I saw that sturdy log, I knew I was going to like it. Your axe deserved that handle.
Machiavello Hermosillo man i cpuld only see the top of the comment andbi was like ‘we got a karen here’ lol
One of the best restorations I've seen!
Olağanüstü güzel oldu.. İyi bir Ustasın.
dude there are SO many videos on how to properly attach an axe head.. i really don't understand when someone does something wrong in a youtube video, where people post videos on how to make something right, on TH-cam.
Johnny Liu AMEN
So many things wrong in this video
Hey I don't want to be an ass but give the man some credit like think about how many hours it took this man and if you think you can do this better step right up and be my guest and he probably made it the way HE wanted to so you can't judge him
That third hand clamp is amazing. Need to get me one of those...
Outstanding...Press On!
Brilliant project, enjoyed watching it, thank you...
Beautiful vid and music. I was so relaxed watching this cheers.
i really love this style of music tho
Phillip Page easy listening
You are a work of art and god you restored an axe that many people would just leave it to the trash you are giving the axe more history GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!!!!

Noah Shelton wow, I’m not surprised you have 2 subs.
Amazing job , handle is so beautiful , subscribed!
The handle is spalted. It´s actually a result of a fungus growing in the wood.
COOL!
BEAUTIFUL JOB. REALLY.

Most people would throw that away, you made it into a work of art, thanks.
crazy how they take a log and turn that into a handle i havent seen that before. I see alot of guys grab a handle from a store but this took some work!
th-cam.com/video/rZItwsKJ404/w-d-xo.html
you mean grab a 4x4 from a store right
While this ran, I drove over to Lowe's and bought a brand new one for about $30. Saved something like $2,200 in shop equipment... but missed out on a good way to spend a couple of days alone! :-)
*I thought I'd give you a 'thumbs up' for you attempted humour and wittiness...keep trying* 😀
I say Ole boy... job very well done. All the types of Resto's I've seen.. am fascinated as hell. it's the end work that pays off. Thank-you again.. Lt8r.

Well done
It is amazing
Waaaaiiit. Its a WOODEN HANDLE OMG IM IN HEAVEN
1:38 When you speed up SIMS gameplay.
Lol
And then your Sim dies because you went to the kitchen to grab something to eat and forgot to pause
Beautiful axe, but when you hang an axe head you set it on the handle, then hammer from the bottom of the handle.while holding the axe with the head down. Also, leave a little more handle above the eye of the axe and only cut the kerf for the wedge 2/3's of the way down. It gives less chance of splitting. Overall though, good looking axe
Cool
*Kratos has entered the chat.*
1:49 the saw in my mind was sayin "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
Fantastic 😆😆😆😆

My mum would be all over that rusty double bladed axe head
Awesome work! Dude you are incredible!
Nice job
I bet he's annoyed about that gap between the top of the handle and the blade.
i noticed that as well. great restoration but seemed to shortcut at the end. there is also a good reason that there is a tight fit there, and it is not just aesthetics.
*smiles* This is an axe worthy of being used to slay The world Eater Alduin himself.

Fantastic
That's a nice looking wood
Love how the head came out. One question. Why didn't you seat the head on the shoulder of the handle? It looked like you could have seated it better.
890mikes seen that too
It’s more of an aesthetic restoration to my eye. I’d would have chosen a stronger harder wood for handle instead of a splatted cherry. Sanding the axe head without cooling it is also suspect. And finally I’d have chosen to polish off less of the axe surface.
