I do alot of edged tool restoration myself and really enjoy it. What you have there is an old PLUMB-victory brand "claw hatchet" head. It actually is missing a good portion of the bit as they were originally straight/flat ground for carpentry work like roofing and flooring. Still has a good usable amoumt left tho.. That model was around for a while from the early 1900's on up to the early 80's I do believe. They were made of some very good steel with a heat treated and quenched bit and hold a edge very well. Enjoyed the video, nice work sir. 👍👍👍
What you have there is an old shake/shingle hatchet tool. The hammerhead was for the nails, the claw was to remove old nails, and the blade was for splitting the new shakes or shingles, which were normal cedar. Judging by the hammerhead mushrooming, I'd guess that the hatchet has some age on it.
I have that same set of Router bits, and as long as you keep the wood pitch cleaned off of them they do a really good job. You did a excellent job on the restoration Sir.
That is a Ridge Builders Hatchet. Mainly used for rough carpentry. It’s a hammer and a hatchet. It was used to drive large nails like the ones found in old homes. They would be the heavy square nails. Most framing hatchets had a notch cut into the bottom of the blade to pull nails. I think it’s genius to see the claw under the striking head. Will like to see how the mahogany handle holds up. Normally handles are hickory, beech, or hornbeam, sometimes oak. All resilient woods to take the abuse of the constant striking. It’s a very nice tool.
The paint was a great idea, I would also go over the axe head afterwards with gun blue and light oil, that would really go well with the job you did and will prevent rusting or flashing over.
Great job, but I think, there is a little mistake, like as the original setup. You are not abble to ude the nail remover part, but if you install the axe to the handle "upside down", it could be work.
Filling in the pitting was a great idea, looks really good now. My only criticism would be that the field of view on your camera is too narrow, so some of the shots were missing the interesting action! Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing
I actually agree with previous comment about the camera being a little too close. Having said that, I love the commentary, so real and informative. I like the video length as well! Like and subscribe! Look forward to more videos!
My uncle found that same style hatchet while walking around, it looks slightly better than this one. He gave it to me to mount a handle, but he died before I gave it back to him. I just used vinegar and lightly sanded it to keep it looking old. I left it the Grey steel. It still has stamping from the railroad company that issued it.
You did an amazing job with the head and handle. I wish you had a welder so you could have filled in the pits and polished it all out smooth (just my opinion). But it is an axe and works for what it was made to do. Thumbs Up!
PS- Although the new handle is great, the butt-end would have had an even swale on both sides so that it felt equally good for splitting and hammering; after all, the hammer portion was the most used part of the tool.
if i cleaned i'd just use the wire wheel and nothing else, its just prettier that way for me, it leaves more patina on the axe head and make it very sharp
The geometry of that nail puller is puzzling. Would be next to impossible to get puchase on nails with it in many circumstances. Would be more useful if it was inverted, curling off the top away from the handle
You painted it? You lost me when I thought you were painting it. I fast forward to the end. Love the handle. It looks great. More effort could have gone into the axe, but I don't restore stuff. I just like to watch. Good job.
I'm not really into million dollar paintings or other "art", but a rusty old ax brought back from the dead is more my style. Of course you have to die before they're worth a lot, lol. Thanks for putting out your videos, subbed
I watched a video of yours that I liked so I watched this one. You didn't talk in the first one and then wouldn't shut up in this one. Guess which I preferred.
Like your videos, I watch them all. I am slightly disturbed by your accent though dyde. Sounds like Jason statham trying to pull off a dodgy American accent. Lol keep up the vids though man, I appreciate them.
@@alvarenga512 my wife found this one in our yard, but normally I go to lots of auctions and sometimes but off eBay. Maybe translate didn't correctly translate what you first said?
Continue sending your wife out to scavenge the property. Maybe get her a metal detector. Seriously, I enjoyed your video and agreed with all of your restoration decisions.
Clean first with water and mild dish detergent then wire brush most of what I see is dirt and not corrosion using evapo-rust may not have been necessary wire brushing and sanding should do it
Love the handle great workmanship. Looks great
Thank you ☺️
I like that you talk to us as you work. Great job.👍🏼👍🏼🙂🎄
Oh thank you!
I liked how ya told the story behind how ya found it. Not some cheesy discovery scene.
Sweet restoration. Would love one myself
Thank you!

Thank you for the information! By the way, the handle is walnut 😉
Come out great.Great find.
Thank you 😊
it is a shingler's hatchet you can split wooden shakes when needed pound and pull nails.
👍🏼
Beautiful nicely done.
Thank you ☺️
How cool! What a great idea for the pitting. Next time try a copper or brass color, that would look crazy cool!
That's a good suggestion!
Darn good fine in an old pile of wood. Thanks for this restoration.
Your welcome 😊
Great job on the axe and the handle
Thank you 😊
Nice job on a great old tool.
Thanks for the video.
Thank you!
Very nice !! Love the finish of the ax head !! Nice and sharp also !! And nice handle love that wood grain !! So pretty nice work !!👍👍
Thank you!

I didn't show it, but I did give it a good paste waxing, I find that works really well
I love it. Nice work.👍
Thank you ☺️
You know the old handle was put on right. Lol great job! Stay safe ya'll!!!
I know right lol!
@@FixitRestoreit 😉😂😂😂
Nicely done!
Thank you 😌!
Since you didn't know you had a wood pile for 12 years I hope someone was with you because you would have never found your way back! Nice Job!
Lol, thank you
First video of yours I watched .and I absolutely loved it. This is a gem💍. Outstanding job sir. Love this hatchet.
Thank you ☺️
Great restoration!
Thank you 😊

I know what you mean, but actually you can still pull nails , it's just a little weird 😎
Nice job..love the Dremel-Harbour Freight mod 😉👍
Thank you 😊
Looks good but don't see pulling nails with it now
Enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up
Thank you!
@@FixitRestoreit You're welcome!!
Upside down router for the win. I do that all the time. The trick is, don't put your fingers into the blade lol
Yes lol!
Ya should do a video on how ya did the belt sander. Great idea
I had thought about it, maybe in the future

Great looking hatchet. Great use of spray paint. Quick question if you don't mind. Did use use linseed oil to coat the handle?
It's teak oil, has a varnish in it which helps to penetrate the wood better ☺️
PS- Although the new handle is great, the butt-end would have had an even swale on both sides so that it felt equally good for splitting and hammering; after all, the hammer portion was the most used part of the tool.
I know, I just preferred the look of it 😎

The geometry of that nail puller is puzzling. Would be next to impossible to get puchase on nails with it in many circumstances. Would be more useful if it was inverted, curling off the top away from the handle
the handle is beautiful, but why don't you try some metal filler on the steel?
Just liked the look of the pits 🤷🏻♂️😎

La cámara roba tomas más precisas, y si le hubieras dado unos puntos de eléctrica para rellenar vacíos, mejor, por lo demás muy buen trabajo.
Thank you
looks like ww2 german sapper axe
Maybe
Nice job only handle position and wrong!?!?
No, just personal preference
@@FixitRestoreit ok

Nice!
Non tempering ???
Already tempered, I didn't get it hot enough to take the temper off
Deberías haber eliminado por completo las marcas de corrosión. Solo habría supuesto algo mas de trabajo de lijado.
I like the way it turned out

The curved handle with the bulge near the axe head will interfere with the nail puller.
Y de donde sacan estas herramientas tan oxidadas y dañadas, es que las entierran unos 6 meses para hacer estos vídeos?
What would be the point in that? Could always fake the rust like lots of other channels if you wanted to cheat
@@FixitRestoreit I didn't mean to be rude. I wanted to know where did you find those rusty tools.

So at what point did you do a restoration? All you have done is clean and put a new handle on it !

Ok lol
Calm down Bobby.
Again a very dull blade compared to the Japanese.
There is no comparison 🤷🏻♂️
Вроде похож на Вермахтовый топор
very similar!
