Restoration Abandoned Rusty Bush Axe

- Hello folks! Today I want to show you my new restoration project. I found this old rusty bush axe at flea market, by the way I never seen before such level of rust on the blade, axe and so on. I made decision to make interesting handle, not standard. Well, let's do this.
Restoration process: I used electrolysis to remove the rust but after approx. 2 hours rust still was on the blade and then I used rust remover liquid and after 40 minutes I got clean axe head. Then I used iron brush to remover dark sport from the blade. After I used file and sandpapers to correct axe head. For handle, I choose an ash tree. Also, I used two components paint and my new impregnation oil for wood. Finally, I made the axe test for you as usual.
Sincerely, Alex. Thanks for attention!
Good luck and health to everyone! With best wishes, Alex!

Beautiful vork! Wonderful restoration! Nice, useful tool! Greetings bro!!! :)))
I must congratulate you on this restoration project. It was well done, and your efforts to resharpen and restore this tool to full functionality is a reflection of your immense craftsmanship and skill.
However, I believe that I can give you some more information on what this “bush axe” is and how it’s actually used. Don’t get me wrong, it is meant to cut wood, but it’s design is actually for a more specific job than just cutting logs and branches placed on a stump. You see, it’s been many years since I’ve worked with one of these axes, but I was taught a bit of information about them by my grandfather in the Philippines when we were clearing out a small wooded field together. So I can say with complete certainty that this axe is actually a type of asian forestry axe used to delimb cut down trees. That was my job during that field clearing, I had to delimb all of the fallen trees with this type of axe so we could then tie them to the leather harness of the farm caribou and drag the now smooth tree trunks back home to turn into firewood.
It’s been so long ago that I’ve forgotten the name, but I do know this is a fairly common traditional forestry axe design in many asian countries. The design is popular because this type of axe head can be made cheaply and quickly just by forge welding together a piece of cut off iron pipe (this is what forms the eye of the axe) and the metal section that will form the blade of the axe. Also, this type of axe usually has a longer handle, as the user is supposed to remain upright or slightly as they delimb the fallen tree. I’m not surprised that it’s such an uncommon design now though, as most people don’t cut down trees and have to delimb them.
What kind of shocks me is that the axe you restored in this video is so large. The one I used as a boy was small, but it’s handle was quite long, so I was easily able to use leverage with both my arms and quickly delimb the trees even at 12 years old because it was relatively light and I could swing it very quickly. The irregularly large size and unclean welds on this axe makes me think that it was a quickly made axe just to be used as a cross between a billhook machete and an traditional axe.
Thank you sir! I was very interested to find out more information about this axe. Regards.
Отличная работа👍👍👍
first time saw this kind of axe....nice restoration sir..
Amazy save. Most would have given up, but you saw something in that piece of rusted steel and brought it out. The pitting just gives it more character. It has a lot more life to give. You saved it's life and I give you great applause for that. Bravo, my friend.
ммм пылесос ракета! Олдскул!
Nice and not over done into a show piece.
Ur English has Improved alot well done and keep up the good work
WOW!!! To go from a big pile of rust to that very wonderful 👍
Ничего странного в этом топоре нет. Этот топор используют в Западной Грузии где каменистая почва и назывется "цули". У него такой крючковатый носик то бы при рубке по камням попадал он и не тупилось лезвие!
Hey man great video. We call that a brush hook in California the old timers put them on long poles. Used to cut limbs and brush. Thank you for the video. All the best from Northern California
- electrolysis
Rare to find restoration videos that does this but instead spend hours with the grind wheel
Ferramenta esquisita
Sinistra
Mas em suas mãos restauradoras tudo fica bonito
Tudo encanta
Once again brother great restoration
I love it so much when you find old videos and watch them! Thank you very much!
Ive never seen a rusted head look so fucked up and not get all the rust off after electrolysis and rust remover, not on this channel at least.
Much love! 🤗❤
Hello! Wow, it's so old video! I'm I'm glad you found it)
That's a very interesting axe, never seen any like that before, also great restoration
Looks kind of like a billhook for lopping off tree branches.
beautiful
Excelente restauración. Yo quitó el óxido dejando la pieza en ácido muriatico 12--a 18 hrs y quedan muy limpias también
Once again very nice work sir very nice!!!!
Just looking for a relaxing restoration perfect timing
From rust 2 revival great job brother 👍🏻
Definitely a unique blade. I can say that I've never seen one like it before. Nice work sir. 👍
I think I have said it before but I really appreciate your use of manual hand tools! A true craftsman!
Thank you sir!
Always enjoy your videos!
Здравствуйте, интересный инструмент) никогда такого не видел, хоть и плотницкое дело для меня не чуждо
Это наверное потому что топор не плотницкий, а сучкоруб. Гуглится по названию "bush hooks axe". Ну и топорище сюда просится более длинное.
In Albania we call it kmes/kize
Looks sorta like a Bilhook. Very nice job!
The brush hook tool was, of course, pressed into service as the bill hook weapon ages ago. Many tools have seen use as weapons in ancient battles.
Muito bom, ficou perfeito! 👏👏🇧🇷
Excellent job as always. Thanks for sharing.
Good job mate. The axe handle is awesome. Keep going. ⚒👍
Brush hooks are usually set on meter long handles, mate.
Great job on a very interesting tool.
Thanks for the video.
Apny bohat ache kosis ki hy
Otra exitosa restauración, felicitaciones!
Really Good Job!! ;0)) Greeatings from Bavaria
Really nice. But that’s a a brush hook axe, it’s meant to have a much longer handle I think. It’s for cleaning small branches from tree trunks.
Awesome restoration👏Great looking handle👍
That's a brush hook, intended to cut moderate vegetation, rather than an axe intended primarily to chop wood and trees.
Awesome job man. That thing looked gone. Cool to see it get saved.
Awesome restoration. From rust to gold. Fabulous. Great work brother
Thank you, sir!
great video but I would have used sandblasting instead of the electroloisis rust remover
Damn u did it again! I was mad but this vid calms me down! 5 stars! 10 outta 10
Love the way you left the age marks on it. Great job.
Love the axe great job as always
Да тапор интересный впервые такой вижу.
Very unique, excellent restoration
Magnificient 👌!!
Its really satisfying look how the rust anda oxidation IS remove
As always a fine job!
Vraiment une belle restauration.
Never seen that axe. Great work
Just have to love that vacuum cleaner 😂😊🤙
I think it was used to cut branches and dthe tip of the axe was use as a pickaron
It can cut down vegetation similarly to a sickle in firefighting as a tool or the tip can be used to bash in and even breach armor as a weapon.
I want to try restoring an axe also!🛠🛠🛠
You have no sand blasting machine Amazing
That ax looks like a Velociraptor claw.
Cool little blade
awesome, keep the good work
Perfecto 👌👌👌👍
Well done!
Just a wood wedge is the best way to set a head on handle metal wedges are for repair
deine video finde sehr Toll
Ты бы ещё мастикой ручку натёр.
Good job!
I’m a new subscriber and wanted you to know, I love your channel.
Thank you so much!!
Thank you for video. Сool ax. Good luck.
Thank you you too sir, good luck!
It's a brush hook.
That is called a bush hug
I just realized that my uncle has an axe exactly like this on his farm
Did you change your color palet for the handle,great video 😎😎👍👍
Nice job! But I could hear you chopping that and I'm all the way over here in Colorado. Just sayin. :D
Никогда таких топоров не видел )
My question is HOW do you chop wood quietly? I need those lessons please. 😆
Wow really cool looking axe. I've never seen that style blade before. Do you know anything about where it came from?
No, I don't know, maybe they made a lot of them earlier.
It's a brush hook that is still used today by back country firefighters to cut brush when creating fire breaks, swatches where vegetation is removed to halt a wildfire.
Sling blade....some call it a kaiser knife....mmm
If you added also ketchup, color of the handle would be better.
А для чего топору такое лезвие?
Какой жидкостью вы обробатыванте метал при реставрации.
Zdravstvuite, eto deshevoe sredstvo v jeltoi butilke, nazivaetsi Yeetis. Est butilka s 550 ml b 2 L.
Great job! Love the electrolysis vids. What is it though? Harvesting tool?
I think so, I guess it's universal tool.
Jonah weinshenker I have a similar tool with a larger (less worn?) hook that is called a ‘corn knife’, and was used to manually cut corn stalks before assembling them by a dozen or so vertically to dry in the field. Hurray for combines!
Nice job. The blade reminds me of bill hooks. I think I've seen it with longer handles, for trimming bushes and trees.
Apostolos Kokaridhas Have those too. The grandkids use them for brushing out shooting lanes around their deer blinds, like a machete. A safety cord is still a must for all these tools.
It's a brush hook, one of a number of tools pressed into combat service over the ages. As a weapon it's called a bill. Also, that handle is rather short. They're usually on 3"/roughly 1 meter handles.
in this moment i try to find this kind of tool
PS: Is a bad idea fill the corrosion damage with cold welding (epoxy)?
Yes it's bad idea. Because, the shape will be appear very poor and after 15-20 minutes work I guess cold welding will be damage.
You could fill the pits in if you don't intend to use it for anything more than a wall hanging. For actual use epoxy won't hold.
i see fill the pits with tig welding, but only in antique firearms restoration, thanks
you thought that layer of rust was bad you should see the government tug boat i drive that they won't let us work on. haha
Hi, I have a question. How many volts do you need in the electrolysis? Thanks!
Hello sir, I used a PC with power consumption 350W. I sorted yellow and black wires. For this project we need to combine 6 yellow (12V) and 6 black (common minus) wires into the one single.
An old 5v dc phone charger works too. Takes a little longer. But it works
You can use it for electroplating as well.
What music Do you Listen to Will restoring objects? This axe looks like it Was made from a billhook blade
Some fantasy music without words.
Intéressent axe 😉
It's not so much of an axe as it is a brush hook.
I like it, I like it. I think I'll do the same with the one I have that has not been used in eons. Make it into a kind of a kindling froe with a hook bill to snatch stay pieces of wood that are just out of arm's reach.
You could do that. It's a brush hook that is usually mounted on a longer handle and used to clear brush, with the hook gathering brush and holding it as the edge cuts.
Very strange form of axe. I wonder what is it made for!?
For cleaning small branches from tree trunks
Yes. It's a brush hook, not quite an axe per se.
Wonder if that hook is for grabbing logs...
For cleaning small branches from tree trunks probably. Thank you for attention.
@@ScrewsAndTools 😯😁
Yes, it's for brush clearing. A brush hook.
You need a post and address so people can send you sandpaper..
🦍
Страшненький такой. Прям орочья чоппа
ПРИВЕТ ! ТОПОР НЕ СОВЕТСКИЙ ?
Ia dumaiu ego vipustili v sovetskoe vremia no net nikagogo kleima.
🇮🇶🇮🇶🧿👍👍👍❤️🙈
Tobacco knife
just made the cable .... nothing was restored ...
А для чего крюк? Подтягивать брёвна?
Pomoemu obrezat vetvi ili stebli.
@@ScrewsAndTools da, no on ne zatozen, kak im obreqeh?
По-моему это топор багор. Сплавщики леса такими пользовались. Как раз для подтягивания бревен. И насаживался он на длинное древко.
@@user-gu9py5jd3w согласен. Этот топор для манипуляции над брёвнами. Крюк вонзается в древесину и подтягивается. Рукоять должна быть длинной.

Мне интересно откуда ты найдешь столько разных топоров?😅😂 Я смотрю как ты работаешь топором, теперь я восне вижу 😂😂😂😅😅😅😅
Я ещё в детстве (12 лет) топорище делал из берёзового полена топором, складным ножиком и осколком стекла. Служит до сих пор. Какая бездарность на этом видео.
Still not good
I was worried the blade might not hold up during the test. Turns out it performed perfectly. ✨️🪓✨️👍
