What an awesome job! Liked and subscribed! So many people on TH-cam try to do this but they rarely get it right. I think you've done an awesome an excellent job!
Aside from the excessive overheating from the angle grinder... Especially taking the angle grinder directly to the toe and heel to reshape the bitting. You can't tell me that didn't mess up the heat treatment. Nor did he actually reprofile the blade. Not that it will keep an edge, because of probably ruining the heat treatment.
holy crap dude - this is so good!! do you have a list anywhere with what you used for this? Obviously - besides the stuff in the video I just had a few questions - such as the sand paper you used for the wet/dry. also where did you buy the head?
Wow, amazing work, you definitely motivated me to try and do my own axe. Can I ask if you could explain more on the carving process. What did you taped on the axe? Where did you get it? And what was the electricity method for melting it (not sure if this is what you did). Thank you very much. And are you Bulgarian by any chance?
Hi, sorry for the late response , the engraving process is called “electro etching” . The tape is used to protect the part that you don’t want to be affected , I’ll try to make a video explaining the process but you can find it already on TH-cam
Nice looking axe! Did you use a cricut or similar for the resist and was it normal vinyl? I've dabbled with this as a hobby and have used an old car battery charger and dunked the whole axe in saltwater. It takes about 45 minutes to loose about 1 or 2mm. Your etch seems deeper and more pronounced. Is that because of a higher amperage? So many questions. This is fun stuff. Keep up the good work. You've got another subscriber👍
Hi, sorry for the late response. I used a pc power plant , at 12Volts and approximately 9-10 amps. The hole process took me about 30 min per side of the axe
This is awesome! My friend and I just found a tree that has a really cool design, I was thinking if the wood was too small could we either mold the axe or are there different sizes of them?
Hi Joe, yes, you can find diferent axe sizes. If you really want to use that wood even realizing its too small the best solution would be finding an axe that fit in proportion
The axe has already a heat treatment so if you avoid to heat to much while reshaping the edge you shouldn’t affect the heat treatment. The easy way is to cool the piece with water
@@jammesworkshop9721 2 heures aussi pour moi mais avec du 6 volt, comme chargeur j'utilise une alimentation de pc ( 12- 6 ou 3 volts). Je débute est et je suis loin d'accomplir le magnifique travail que vous faites . Bonne continuation
Meanwhile, the ax is beautiful, then I wanted to ask a question but how do you do the procedure at 6:10? like that kind of gray duct tape what's its name? how do you heat the metal to do this? And finally, what metal is the ax?
Hi, the design was made in photoshop, then cutted on sticker cutter . The electrolise procces is called "electro etching" there is plany of videos on youtube showing the technique, in my case i used 12 Volts at 9-10 amp, the hole piece took like 1 hour . (sorry for my bad english)
I must be a first class fool, but I would have filed it right after cutting. Anyway, for me it's just a hobby, so I don't need to make it easy on me. 😂🔥

what was that etching process? Be cool if you had a complete list of materials required. I'd love to make my own axe.
Why do you have only 106 subscribers? You deserve more!
And btw I love how you used chemistry too
this is easily a 1mil sub channel. excellent work. very awesome to watch
Thank you!
Completely agree!
I like the out come, but I wish you would include the maTHE MATERIALS YOU USED IN THE FINAL FINISH
Great work. Thanks for the info. Subbed fo sho!
Cheers
Damn thats badass man.
Good craftsmanship, terminator music. Nice content.

Hi, i used wet sand paper: 360 and 600
The sand disk is a 120
I bought the head from a local hardware store ;)

Excellent video! Is there anyway you could explain the process of aging the metal when you put it in the pot?
Hi Justin, you just have to boil the axe on white vinegar, how much time? well thats different for each piece, in this case i boiled it for 1 hour
@@jammesworkshop9721 Thank you very much! Keep up the great work!
Hi , wonderfull work , Can i Buy this Beauty ?good work 👍🏻
What type of steel and to what HRC was it treated?
Did you weld two pieces of steel together or did you actually forge the steel?
OMG, I need this one 😭.
Great job, very cool. May I ask with what current/machine you etch the metal?

Hi, i was using a pc power supply, 12 volts at aprox. 9-10 amps, i can be done quicker with more amps but i wanted to try with a cheaper solution
Music name please ?
Beautiful work well done.. 👍
Thank you sir!
Hello. I just started doing my axe, and I need some inspiration for the engraving. Do you have some specific places where I can find some nice ones?
Powerful axe
Thank you! glad you like it.
Nice
Thank you!
This might be a dumb question, is there any reason you don't just use a torch? Would it effect any sort of hear treat or something?
The axe has already a heat treatment so if you avoid to heat to much while reshaping the edge you shouldn’t affect the heat treatment. The easy way is to cool the piece with water
Всё замечательно! Лучше, чем шарошкой ( бур-фрезой) торцевые стенки не обработать. Гораздо быстрее, чем рашпилем смыкать...
Amazing work! How long did it take?
So what was that, transfer paper ?
Exactly!
Cette hache est magnifique. 👍
Combien de temps faut-il mettre la hache dans le bain de l'electrolise svp ?
Ideal 2 heures mais a partir de 30 minutes ca devrait etre bon

Do you sell these axes?
Hi, I don’t sell them, I make them just for fun 😅
What amperage do you use when you used the salt solution??
Hi, 10 Amps, 12 Volts
Whats the black thing on the leather at the end?
Meanwhile, the ax is beautiful, then I wanted to ask a question but how do you do the procedure at 6:10? like that kind of gray duct tape what's its name? how do you heat the metal to do this? And finally, what metal is the ax?
The process is called “electro etching” isn’t a high temperature procedure so the tempered edge is not affected
@@jammesworkshop9721 tanks
Vertel nice work! One of the best on youtube 👍🏻
Thank you !
Can you please explain the process of getting the design on the axe?
Hi, its called "Electro Etching", you have to use a salt solution and a power supply (10 amps, 12 volts)
hello, and how was the axe originally made?
You can buy heads online or at a hardware store usually.
What is the liquid in the bottle?
5:39 how you put the image there and how can the eletrolise put the image on the axe
Hi, the design was made in photoshop, then cutted on sticker cutter .

Im wondering what is that material he used on the axe that protected it while it was exposed to electroetching
@@nikoladudic2932 it is just adhesive vinyl used for Decals, cut by a Cricut or Silhouette machine
@@nikoladudic2932 autocollant, mais on peux mettre aussi de la peinture en bombe
That stone hit different on them ears 😂
my biggest regret is not learning this kind of trade
How long did you keep the sponge on the axe?
15 seconds, then a couple of minutes to let it cool a little and repeat 4 times, in total 60 seconds.
So you placed a sponge on the electrode?
I must be a first class fool, but I would have filed it right after cutting. Anyway, for me it's just a hobby, so I don't need to make it easy on me. 😂🔥
hoe maak je die tekeningen op het ijzer dat ze mooi blijven
Prosessen kalles "electro etching", du finner informasjon på TH-cam, senere skal jeg lage en video som forklarer emnet
Wat voor spul smeer je die steel mee in, dat flesje met dat blauwe dopje?
Het heet bitumen de judea (spaans), het is afgeleid van olie (Google translater)😅
geweldige video! waar heb je dat elektrische kastje vandaan? :)
het is een bron van computerkracht
you lost me with the leather straps I think it would look cooler without
Did you put it in oil at 08:33?
Nope, it’s vinegar
What size axe head did you start with? Any links for it please?
Check your local hardware store.
Size can change depending on the country you are, the best option is to go to your local hardware store and pick the right one for your hand size an weight
What is in the bottle in 8:11?
du vinaigre
Exactly
What's boiling in the pot? Vinegar ?
Yeah
What did u boil it in to darken it
Hi, it was vinegar
Any way to buy this axe? :)
i just made it for fun ;)
How long did IT take to make it?
2 days but i think it can be done in one day
How do you make the signs what is that tool calles
Called*
You can find the technique on TH-cam as : Electroetching
What die did u use ?
Boiled the axe for 2 hours on vinegar
That's Celtic knotwork but still cool
Any like this for sale?
Nope😅 i just made it for fun
@@jammesworkshop9721 would you maybe consider making one like this.. For sale?
People who buy things are suckers I just made one like this today and all you need is a hand grinder an old axe and that’s really it
@@Aussyyaks tout ? non !! tu oublie le principal. la patience et l'envie de bosser pendant 2 jours
@@Aussyyaks you are right my friend I couldn’t imagine helping out a small business you’d have to be a huge sucker for that 😐
Too bad only one face of the axe was engraved the way it is. However, awesome job nonetheless!
Both sides were engraved , I just forgot to show them on the editing process , it’s a mirrored design
Wow nice axe! What do you drop on the axe at 9:32?
Thats Oil, for rust prevention :D
Floki axe
i want 1 how much
Sorry is not for sale, i just do it for fun!
