Antique Hatchet Restoration. SORT OF...
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 มิ.ย. 2018
- Alright, how would you call this experiment?
Hatchet restoration? Makeover? Wrecking an hatchet head?
Yes, I know this kind of handle doesn't make any sense: it's heavy (1.4kg or 3lbs), slippery and so unpractical to make.
This project is just for fun, my hope is to inspire others to make something just for fun.
The hatchet is not branded, bought it for 4€ at flea market. For me it's totally worth the experiment and fun of it!
As you can see the mold I made failed, that's why one side of the handle (the one facing up in the mold) is not as clean as the other. I guess making a taller mold with way more sand would have made it much better. Next time!
It still came out real solid, I've beaten that as hard as I can and it had no sign of weakening at all.
I just started to list some of the stuff I use for my projects in this amazon storefront:

Index of operation and materials:
1:03 Electrolysis: water and sodium carbonate solution, parts connected to negative side and steel sacrificial anodes to positive sice of a DC power supply (car battery charger). 2-3 hrs at 10amp.
2:15 Hot wire foam cutter machine and high density foam (kind used as home insulation).
3:53 Smoothing the foam with 320 sandpaper.
4:13 Gluing foam piece with hot glue.
4:40 Regular white plaster brushed on foam to help with cast quality.
5:20 Lost foam mold preparation by sifting fine sand (I'm using burned out petrobond sand but any fine and dry sand would work)
6:22 Adding sodium carbonate as degassing agent and "lite salt" (a mix of potasium cloride and sodium cloride) as flux to the molten aluminum.
11:15 Peening a 10mm round stock pin.
11:49 Polishing the handle (previously sanded to 400grit) with coarse and fine polishing pompound on two cotton wheel (only coarse polishing shown in video).
12:27 Re-grinding bevels and sharpening on 200 grit belt.
For those of you worried about the molten aluminum tempering the hatchet steel:
I tested the edge with my hardness test files and it results between 45 and 50 Rc.
Unfortunately I forgot to record the testing before uploading the video (actually a friend on Patreon remembered me about that) so if you don't trust me here are some considerations:
The hatchet is most probably made of something like 1050 steel. These steels are tempered between 400-1000°F (200-540°C) with hardness going from 50 ro 30 on the Rockwell scale accordingly.
Considering that aluminum melts at 1200°F (650°C) I think it's safe to say it can't possibly heat up the steel more than 800°F (420°C) or so, in color temperature terms just over blue, and I think the edge can't even go above brown that is around 480°F (250°C). So at the end I think the edge does get tempered by the aluminum but not that much to be a problem. Also, the fact that the steel was already tempered does not make any difference in the steel structure, tempering depends (after a minimum time) all on max temperature reached instead of time at temperature or thermal cycles.
That's all!
Thank you a lot for watching. See you next week!

I am mostly impressed on how you have 10 fingers
He pays attention when he's using his equipment
@@rukiakuchki1591 just a joke.
It looks more dangerous, because it's sped up.
actually its 8 fingers and 2 thumbs dumby.
Eight fingers two thumbs
I love how it is peaceful, no talking and no annoying music.
i wonder if when he got it he salvaged it from the titanic
Music is good...when it's not annoying🤔
I was thinking to turn off music on my videos :/ but in my opinion they are not annoying :/
Garage4Life
Hmmm... I skimmed through some vids that are uploaded in your channel and not gonna lie, they are a bit too much for me. Had to really lower the volume and I dunno, just made me zone out from the chill mood. But I guess it depends for others??
@@aga3852 thanks :)
You see.. its hard to find exact way :/
Does anyone but me wonder why this guy is so fascinated by using hard, cold metal in place of wood? I can imagine the harshness of using this tool for the purpose it was intended.
I think it would be ok if he put a rubber grip on it to stop it from hurting when you hit something with it, he could grind away part of the handle to inlay the rubber grip so it looks nice
@@EasySqueezy1 Nah/ Aluminium has the mechanical properties of cheddar cheese. If you actually tried to use this thing, the handle would just bend more and more. Especially since you'd have to swing it extra hard because the edge would dull extremely rapidly, since he ruined the temper of the steel, effectively annealing it
@@ashscott6068 my guy said cheddar cheese 😭
For fun... Check out his other videos, most restorations are with wood, but sometimes he gets a little crazy
@@ashscott6068 the thing is it looks presentable he doesn't want it to be usable he is just making asmr type of vids
Once he hits something hard with that axe... his whole body is gonna vibrate
Shshshsh
Aluminium is not the best shock absorbant material indeed
The good news is, whoever ends up with it, can melt all that Aluminium down, sell it to the scrap yard and get enough $ to buy a nice plank of Hickory to build a proper handle👍
That's a hatchet not an axe. Axes are much bigger and longer than hatchets. Hatchets are meant to be thrown btw if u didn't know
@@andreafoster5193 did you think your comment was germane to the discussion at hand? Also as you brought it up, please cite where you found "are meant to be thrown" in the general description of "hatchet" 🙄
Crafting level 99

Ahahaha yes
It sounded like the friday the 13th music when jason would attack someone
sounds like a shark is gonna attack from somewhere
Jump scare from the 1960’s lol
For the majority of this video I was confused but then at the end I was just really impressed lol
Ide like to think someday someone’s gonna restore the tools he uses
Tough Cloud ehterrrdrff
he probably would never let them get to this point but I would like to imagine the same
how meta!
But wouldn’t he have to get the same tools just to restore the tool?
But with what tools
That wood handle was in good condition.
Dark GT I also think it was in good condition, but still the wood could've been weak or something, ya never know unless you're the one working on it

Ahahahaha....this is so awfull restauration. He changed a wood with shiny aluminium. It will slip from hand...and that hole...omfg
I've come back to this video several times because of how satisfying it was to me
I'm glad you added the spoiler sign. It shows you're learning by trial and error. Mr build it has a motto courage and sweat.
Why do I need to watch this?

Black Beard: makes a metal handle for a hatchet
Also Black Beard: destroys the piece of wood which he could have made the handle of
Albert Berci he made a metal hatchet because he didn’t want to use a piece of wood.
Newest is best
He used metal cause he didn’t want the handle to break
@@datcr4zyazn851 A metal one is nowhere as good as a wooden one, but if you ever touched an axe you would understand.
@@inra5314 can you explain why?
Mom: "Why don't you do the dishes?"
*The dishes **1:31*
so true
I don't get it
@@Fari7aMo the joke is that the dishes are all nasty like the rusty water
This was the first video I watched about restoring tools. Ever since I watched this video, I binged watch other restoration videos.
Really impressed with the result. I wouldn't have thought the polystyrene handle in sand mold would have worked so well (despite the exploding sprue :)). Incredible job!!!
I watch this when I can’t sleep, so relaxing!
0:41 Never have i ever heard anything more satisfying.
You're a real master , big respect for your work
I cried a little when he drilled the hole in the hatched head
No one fucking cares bud. Go cry somewhere else
Why did u cry a little?

It do be dat way doh
funny go haha
Hahahaha that was hella funny!
Lol i get the joke
Yaa lol
I'm a bit disappointed that a lot of people complain about what the person did. it's theirs, so it's really their decision to do whatever...
I mean, yes, he could have used something else for the handle, but he wanted to try something else-- he was experimenting...
edit: as his pinned comment says, read the description.
i know, he could have cheated and got a pre-made handle, and people would complain, i thought he was gonna dip it rubber
Um, but it's our opinion....soooooo
both are valid points.
He also didn't sharpen it very well, it was blunt as all hell
*they
Man, you got some serious casting skills!! like I mean creating the foam profile, sand+pop mold, selecting a metal, placement of riser. If any of these things is messed up whole casting wastes and u did an awesome job there.
You cannot get rid of this! and we love it!
He literally shaped the handle by hand! 🤯👏🏽👌🏽
Dude that wood handle was made from the center of a tree

You can look at it forever) Good job!
be safe on your journey through TH-cam recommendations late at night...
Turned out super nice! Fun project, thanks for sharing!
GUYS for those of you who’s saying “This video is so dumb” or “ Lol such a bad way to fix the axe”
The mans made this video for entertainment purposes. He didn’t fix the axe so he can USE it... It was just to show and convey an interesting and creative way TO FIX THE DARN THING to a point that it’s not COMPLETELY useless.
Having metal handles on tools is stupid in anyway you look at it.
I personally think that putting a metal handle on a hatchet or hammer is bad because wood actually absorbs shock better. However, if it is a chisel or a throwing hawk, it doesn't matter.
On the other hand, it is a different and interesting solution.
buttblast111 men*
Well my sons, everyone has a different opinion and we must learn to understand.
buttblast111 if he had just removed the scale and sharpened it, it would've been more useful than this trash heap. He ruined the heat treatment, making it useless as an axe.
thor: where’s the handle? where’s the handle?
Black Beard: give me about 36 hrs
I'm impressed about how you haven't still lost a finger because of that wood cutter
In my opinion, if it originally had a wooden handle, put a wooden handle
That's just silly.
If that's what you think would be best why don't you do it? Post a video on it's so other people can shit on your restorations
Johnny Sickness02 I wouldn’t get hate because I’d do a wooden handle 😂
@@jvinluan3975 if there are people that wood hate on an aluminum handle then there are people that wood hate on a wooden handle. There are many types of people and those are 2 of them.

Somehow I find this quite satisfying and relaxing to watch

Nice one bro that worked out good I'm glad the spill didn't ruin the pour. I usually use tin cans when I build up the mouth as I've had the same happen to me haha but luckily on a smaller scale and not on video 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Hey, I don't know whether you did good or bad job, whether those people in the comment section know better or are just this generic youtube know-it-alls, I really don't know much about tools or metal or wood, I don't need it, I don't work with it, maybe I use a hammer here and there. But I came here to say, that I was bored as F with no tasks during my job hours, accidentally found this video, watched it and started to search info about axe and hatchet and the difference and kinds of axes and despite I don't and probably never will need or use it, it was just interesting. Enlightening to know something more about the world. Thanks to this accidentally watched video that woke my curiosity. Great job!
It looks cool, so for me he did a good job, it was literally trash before.

An insane amount of work when you had a perfectly good handle to begin with
Really nice to see someone use electrolysis to start the process. Much different from most people. Great video buddy 😁
When he mixed he powder in the water and clipped on the wires I was like “Woah, science!”
It is vinegar and baking soda
Electrolysis
NJ OFFICIAL it’s water and baking soda. Vinegar and baking soda is for making volcanoes. Also the two mixed together makes bubbles and just turns to salt water and carbon dioxide.
Seriously... it’s just water.

The wood he was cutting in the end was just snapping cause of the force 🤣
Looks dope! I don't care if it is not practical, it will look good on a shelf or in your workshop.

For all the complainers please read the description before you make yourself look like a bigger nerd than what you already are. This was obviously only an experiment of sorts where he just had some fun while trying to restore this hatchet. Please bear in mind people that not everyone is going to be an expert just because he/she tries to create/recreate something, sometimes people do stuff only because it's fun. It's not really that hard to understand. And besides, he is the one who bought this item so he is allowed to do as he pleases with it.

Diddly darn
Heck yeah, especially when he penetrated that hardwood with his drill then proceeded to pound it.
Nope
“But I wanted a wooden handle”...
very satisfactory the time he takes the inside of the ax muinto good does more please
Low key satisfying
Am I the only person here who actually liked the way it looked in the end? I think the handle looked nice with the aluminum finish.
But the aluminum is not even on par with the type of wood he replaced
That handle is slippery . That guy probably banged someone's head by now
Yes, I think so.
It's nice looking, I think people just don't like that he called it a restoration. A restoration would've used wood to match what he had to get rid of in order to remove the rust. This was more of a repurposing.
He turned a hatchet into a...HATCHET! How is this repurposing?
This video screams "I have no idea what I'm doing and am fully aware of that but let's do this anyway"
Waaaa waaaa someone not do something right on the internet waaaa waaaaaa
ok, epic hacker man. Whatever you say.
hatchets and axes have wood handels for a reason, Shock absorption!
I know this will sound like the usual keyboard knowitall, but i really like your videos, and that's exactly why i ask you: please don't ever use the top part of your belt sander. If you need to grind a convex shape, use the underside of the belt; where the piece will fly away from you if you lose your grip and not towards your head.
Sorry if that sounded patronizing.
Also, very nice project; turned out way better than the bad idea disclaimer made it sound
And this was only one of the many safety violations he made. Scary.
Metal was a bad choice for a handle for a few reasons, A) it breaks, you're done. B) It's a lot harsher on your hands. C) it's not as aesthetically pleasing. D) it adds more weight, then again, that may be aluminum which is fairly light so, not too bad, but still a negative.
even if it is aluminum, that handle would be pretty bad for shock absorption.
PD Plays yet it is still better then a buzzfeed restoration.
Lorenzo Wallace just your friendly neighborhood nerd.
Wooden handles break much earlier when throwing the axe
Lorenzo Wallace Who Is You...?
I love your work! It makes me want to work on my own axe but sadly I don’t know hav me the skill set or the tools to actually make it useable again 😅
Go for it, you can still do a great job with really basic tools. Vinegar, wire brush, sandpaper, file is all you really need
I find this very satisfying tbh
What a great idea to put the axe head in the mold with the handle. It really turned out nice.
Thanks mate :)
Hey I just got here at six so on the phone number a
Instead of using a strong wood, you went with that? this is not restoration... this is degradation.
PREACH!

I'm sorry, can the head still chop? Yes.
The handle may be shoddy, but it still works. Degrigation would be if he shattered the head.
