Axe Restoration [Black Axe With Ebony Handle]
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ธ.ค. 2021
- I used many techniques in the restoration of this rusty axe. With iron (III) chloride and coffee I blackened the rusty axe head. I made the new handle out of ebony, which now revealed a completely black axe. Restoring the old axe I had to grind, file, remove rust, harden, sandblast and saw. This old hand tool I found again on a flea market website and wanted it badly. This video is not only to quickly show someone something, but also to relax and escape from everyday life!
▬ What did I do ?! ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
The axe head was extremely rusted, so I removed the coarse rust with rust remover and a screwdriver. The remaining rust I removed with an electrolysis, because the result was not satisfactory I still sandblasted it. Afterwards I made the rough contour with an angle grinder and on the belt grinder I sanded the sides until almost no pitting was visible, up to a grit of 600. In the hardening furnace I now heated the axe to 820°C and quenched it in oil. Before dipping the old hand tool in iron (III) chloride and coffee, I ground the surface to a grit of 1500. The new wooden handle is made of ebony. Now all that was left was to assemble everything and the black axe was ready.
▬ Good to know ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
I used the following tools: Wire brush, screwdriver, rust remover spray, angle grinder, laboratory power supply, glass container, test tube, cable ties, side cutters, sandblasting cabinet, abrasive corundum, belt grinder, file, drawing needle, welding helmet, welding machine, sandpaper, orbital sander, hardening furnace, blacksmith tongs, immersion heater, cleaner, wire, iron (III) chloride, steel wool, instant coffee, knife, pencil, scroll saw, Japanese saw, jigsaw, wood file, leather strap

Me and my son have sensory processing disorder and we love these videos! It tingles when he’s working on the metal and feels so good! Ty
Thanks for your feedback! I'm so happy if you both like it! All the best to you and your son!🐢
Cool I got sensory processing disorder too!
Aspergers or some form of asd?
@@FreelancerFreak Yes ASD! Not quite autistic but processing issues with nervous system and left/right brain!
@@Eternal_Genin oh okay, no judgment just curious
My 10yr old son who has autism was sitting watching this video this morning so of course I looked it up to make sure it's a good channel. Thank you so much for making these! He's been laying listening to the sounds all morning.
I'm very happy to hear that and it means a lot to me too! Do you know what exactly excites him about it? 🐢
@ForgottenShineRestoration It's relaxing him actually! At some points he was just laying on the couch listening to the sounds of the video while staring at the ceiling. He also really likes the rust removal and chemical restoration type parts.
After I posted this comment some of his siblings came out to watch also. They all really loved the turtle doing different things throughout.
He's definitely still paying attention though as I overheard him telling his sibling to "Just watch and trust the process." 🤣
🤩👍🐢❤️
@@maggiemiller6056 In my head it translated as your wise young son speaking in Yoda, like: "While watching we trust and the process is just." or some suchlike, idk why.😅
Probably because your son sounds like a profound, certain and encouraging sibling.😊
P.S. I enjoyed your wholesome share, as well.
The restoration is cool and everything, but the turtle is cute.
It's SO CUTE the way you put a mask over the turtle's head!
I love the bits of humor and the fact that you explain everything you're doing!
Thank you very much! 🐢
Same! The little turtle kind of reminds me of a curious child
Awww, the cute little turtle scrubby is too adorable. I love it ☺💕💕💕🐢

my favorite recurring bit is him trying to drink the forbidden electrolysis juice
When you started sawing the handle I was like dude that’s going to take you a month by hand 😂
All these restoration channels and videos are like a weird version of Kiwami Japan.
The subtle comedy and actions.
Alas, some old things are like reputations: they can never be completely restored.
Great work! a little tip I learned while welding a cracks is you need to locate each end of the crack and drill out each end of the crack and then fill your drill hole and weld over. Maybe not a big deal on things like this but on bigger pieces that withstand more stress if you don't do it, the crack can still continue cracking. Great videos keep it up!
Genius😎
oh yeah i’ve heard about that with concrete! it’s wild how basically just making the crack bigger makes it more stable
you can also do this with cast metal but i like to preheat before welding
Good tip
I would've given up the moment that second time the rust didn't come off easily, plus the skills needed to shape that handle from scratch omg!! Nice work, awesome skills plus the patience. I know for a fact all this work took a couple of days, all put together and compiled into a 30 min video 👍👍
Thank you very much! 🐢
“Unhealthy” is the funniest description you could give for that water 🤣🤣
Шикарно! Химик, физик и просто золотые руки... 3 в одном!)))
One thing I like about your videos is that you sow all the processes you tried, even those which failed or were not totally successful. That's very honest and teaches a lot. The only thing I would change is the length of subtitles, as they're too fast for me and I have to either rewind or pause the video to read them in full. But it's a great material!!
By the way, excellent tip on how to do a straight cut on wood with a saw.
Thank you very much for your great Feedback! 🤩👍🐢
the same with me "I'm a low reader
Yeah, I'd keep the subtitles up a bit longer just because some of us like to make certain we are understanding every element of what you are explaining and also your way of speaking (vernacular?) is different than mine, so that takes a second too.
But I LOVE the subtitles!!!😊
The junk of metal was like ''ahh, finally I can rest in peace in ground again''
Forgotten Shine Restoration: hold my beer
🤣🤣🤣🐢
That is by far the most rusted object I have seen, it looks like it was at the bottom of the ocean for 200 years. ;)
As our French friends say....It is now, Le Object d Art.....Love you're work.
Amazing how there was still metal under so much rust...great outcome ! the leather strip looks so cool.
(20:53) BTW i think buddy you may need a pencil sharpener 🤣🤣 I have one i´ve just Restored (may help ....)
Thank you very much! 🤣🤣🐢
Amazing! I wouldn't have thought there wouldn't be any steel left after taking all that rust off!
😅🐢
I like that you did not complety remove the rust as some others do, to keep its antique look.
Again fascinatingly wonderful resurrection of a hand tool with much
beautiful life left in it.
You must have done this in a previous lifetime
BRAVO SIR
Your work is top notch I was having a very stressful day I watched this video and it chilled me right out 👍
Забыл ещё в кофе добавить красный перец, чтобы топор был острым)
A RUSTY OLD AXE? brilliant
You have made those who came before ye proud.
I admire your patience, dedication, and hard work. Great job.
Thank you! 🐢
I'm constantly surprised that there's anything left by the time you're done cleaning!
WOW !!! Totally unbelievable. The looks of the axe head it could have been an original Viking war axe NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD CLEAN UP AS WELL AS IT DID!!
Thank you very much! 🐢
Most people would say that axe head was a lost cause including me but you saw something of value in it
One of the best looking axes I’ve ever seen never seen something like it
Thank you very much! 🐢
I enjoy your restoration videos because they seem really genuine.
I've watched too many where the item has supposedly sat in dirt for decades, and they all have the same green laden rust regardless of age or location found. Then it all chips away easily with a bit of poking of brushing.
I can see your rust had really bonded with the surface over time and needed some real elbow work
When you’re really into watching old abandoned stuff, you can easily separate between fake and genuine ones. And yes, I’ve seen a channel faking many models cars with moss-liked decor and dirt, I can easily say it’s fake lmao. It’s hard to disguise things as old if you don’t really know how to make it into one.
Which channel?
Beautiful! And I love the turtle. Nice that you're looking out for his safety while welding.
Slowly but surely it becomes a very nice Ax👍👍👍👍
the story parts with little turtle always make me laugh 🤣 it's so cute! this restauration was particularly impressive and the finished object is absolutely beautiful!!
Thank you very much! 🐢
Man, that’s good work! I’m a tinkerer too and really enjoy your videos! Old age creeped up on me too fast and I can’t do a lot of things I once could, so I truly love to watch a man do this sort of thing! Have a great and prosperous New Year buddy!

Thank you very much for your great comment! 🤩🐢😁
Don't give up, keep moving. Those who stop will 'rust'... and leave this world too soon.
phí thời gian , mua cái mới cho nhanh
best restoration channel by a mile
Thank you very much! 🐢
Whew! That was a lot of work, but a fine finished product.
man, this is underrated, this deserves more attention. It's amazing really and so much hard work was put into it. great job :D
Thanks very much! 🐢
Flap disc, if available, might be less aggressive when compared to that thick metal cutting disc you are using on that angle grinder.
The side track for the hydrogen experiment was really cool.. made me nostalgic about the school days
Your videos help me sleep at night. Thank you 😊
Crazy to think that something that looks like that can be turned into something so beautiful! Wonderful work my man!
Thank you very much!😁🐢
Never seen an ebony handle before. That’s some ridiculously strong wood
That is awesome, what a legendary axe with a cool story. A character in a movie should use that!
Best thing about these videos are they help me sleep lol and I know I'm not the only one 😂
Is there a history behind this axe head in relation to how old it is? Phenomenal work bringing it back to life!! And for adding the information to the processes.
I would like to know too! The design is old.
This type of bearded axe is frequently found in Bulgaria and the surrounding area by metal detection. They were hand forged from around 900CE to 1200CE and were popular throwing axes like the Francica during the middle Byzantium era during the middle ages.
A good number of these were sold on Ebay around 15 years ago.
That looked like a fun project. Thank you for sharing. Cheers!
Thank you very much! Cheers! 🐢🥂
bro has learnt chemistry well!💀👍
Admiro tu paciencia y dedicación, excelente trabajo.
¡Muchas gracias!
How many languages do you know!?!?😎
@@dungeondragon2098 It's easy, you use the translator and that's it.
Very nice Restoration and a marvelous handle. Fits all perfect together- gratulations 👍
Thank you! 🐢
You seem like a legit channel cause the pitting on these is insane
very impressive technique, excellent video and audio quality. came for the education.... but when you put the tiny welding mask on the tiny turtle I DIED AND WENT TO HEAVEN OMG I DIDNT KNOW HOW MUCH I NEEDED THAT IN MY TH-cam LIFE ALL IS RIGHT INTHE WORLD AGAIN
Thanks very much! 🐢
You made the most out of a piece of metal that was nearly unsalvageable! Happy New Year!
Thank you very much! Happy New Year!
I enjoyed your videos a lot specially the chemicals part I wonder if you tried nitric acid for rust removal it worked like charm for me and I think you will loose a lot less surface metal in the process
Tremendo!!!
Con un estilo único.
Saludos a todos desde Puerto Rico U.S.A
My favorite thing to go to sleep to so nice and calming to see you restore things
Dude ! those tips you giving are precious ! I love your work and what you did with that axe. Keep it up :]
Thank you very much! 🐢
The work is amazing. As an inexperienced person with absolutely no knowledge of how to do what you just did, I must ask, why did you not fill in some of the pits prior to applying the finishing touches? It seems like you could have used the tig (MIG) welder to do that just like you did with the head of the ax. Just curious.
Thank you for not drowning video in hard rock music
“Once, in a time long in the past, I was struck down with rust and decay. Now, I am reborn, ready to strike down the rust and decay on this Earth!”
Fico enprecionado, com o seu trabalho,👏👏👏 é essa legenda em português, ficou top, agora da pra entender, mais um pouco do seu talento.
Muito obrigado!😊🐢
This axe is definitely a war style weapon, I'd be very curious to trace its pattern. I've never seen a non military axe with a reinforced eye like that. Great worj, liked and subbed
Thank you very much! 🐢😁
Definitely. It has a upwards swep point for stabing similar to that of the Dane axe
重量不够，像稻草一样弱小，砸蚂蚁可以，真的要用做武器吗？
It's most likely a hewing hatchet and that eye is most commonly found in Finnish carpentry axes and also sometimes Japanese carpentry axes
As opposed to a non war style weapon?
Aaaa.. I was expecting you'd drink that "water" again. Haha.. My favorite part
I Love how thoughtful you are with Turtle!!
Yowza! A war axe! Me wanty! You're channelling my inner orc.
May I ask for some rust removal advice?
Thank you very much! 😅🐢
Sure what question do you have?
@@ForgottenShineRestoration I recently rescued (from the river) an old children's wheelbarrow. Must be old as it has wooden handles & very heavy. Wooden handles will get sanded & stained. Wheel some black paint just to sharpen the colour. Axle is good....bit of sanding & rustoleum. Bottom side exceptionally good shape.....sand & paint. The inside is my problem. Wayyyyyy rusty. My question is what's the best way to clean, restore & protect the inside? Needs to be a not to technical way, if possible. I'm 62 & handicapped, so operating power tools might be impossible, even if I had access. Oh, I forgot to mention, I'll be drilling holes & plan on turning it into a planter for the garden. Thanks very much.
Almost woulda been easier to forge a whole new one with that much rust I would guess. I'm honestly surprised there was useable metal left in that rust pile! The final product looks fantastic!
Thank you very much!🐢
Excellent job . Can not imagine, thanks for showing.
Slowly but surely it becomes a very nice ax👍👍👍👍👍
Pas sûr que ce soit très légal d'intervenir sur des objets aussi anciens à valeur archéologique !
You never see in museums objects restaured like this. It destroyes the historical patina; the "the witness" of ages. Restauration doesn.t mean to make a new item.
Great ! You did perfect reatoration. 😊Thank you for sharing your skill with us👍👍
I have recently rediscovered your channel and I’m currently re-loving every video I watch
Thank you and welcome back! 🐢
Привет из России. Очень нравятся твои видео и про безопасность черепашки не забываешь 😁
Sweet content! Amazing work
Thank you very much! 🐢
These videos are soothing to me, I’d love to learn to do this. You’re very talented 😄
Thank you very much! 🐢🤗
@@ForgottenShineRestoration You’re welcome!
This is so awesome
I will name that axe "Black Beauty".
It looks great and you did a wonderful job restoring it as well!!!!
Enjoyed the video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Thank you very much! 🤩🐢
@@ForgottenShineRestoration You're very welcome!!
Lol
@@gagaballer8142 What is funny??
what makes it so wonderful is the fact that when working with tools such as this axe, you not only do metal work but also wood work as well. i just think thats so fun. i will do something of this sort when ive got a place of my own (i live in an apartment in the city so no space).
where do you obtain these old tools?
I bought it on ebay🐢
The turtle bit with the sander had me crying with laughter. That was good lmao
Thank you very much! 🐢
This video should win the Oscar for Best Picture! Why not?
Seu canal é incrível e oq você faz é surreal , assisto seus vídeos com meu irmão todo dia dps do almoço
Muito obrigado! 🐢
E mesmo
Very nice! Way nicer than I thought it could turn out. I'm impressed. 👍
Thank you very much! 🤗🐢
Great content, I love your work, great love from Iraq
Thank you very much! greetings from Germany 🐢
@@ForgottenShineRestoration 😍❤️
I love watching your work...it is deeply relaxing....Thanks Mate
I love your vids but just a couple questions. Are you working for some archeologists of some kind to do this? Or do you or others just destroy these with the rust and excess dirt themselves? And if not the future could you state what year or civilization the artifact came from?
Trabalho primoroso, de muita paciência mas,com um excelente resultado final.
Muito obrigado! 😊🐢
You do NOT name yourself "restorator", you become a restorator, after many years of apprentice next to a restorator !
Yes!!!! Restauration doesn.t mean to make a new item. I study restauration at university; if i would show this to one of my teachers, they would get mad pretty bad. This is not how it.s done. He should go to museums and watch how weapons were restaured, with non distructively ways
@@mirondanila5921 There are two ways to take care of an old item : The first one to restore it to it's former glory without changing anything ( at least...visible !) and the other one is in case it cannot be restored is to scrap it for metal !!
This is more RestorArt. It's a whole new genre.
It's restoring something useless, not to sit in a museum, but to be fully functional again, along with creating a new piece of art, as well!
So a person can choose whether they wish to display or actually use the item-- or both! That's what I've understood from watching these types of channels.
Although I am new to this one-- that piece would DEFINITELY look spectacular hanging near the hearth.
Hope you feel better soon 🤢. Awaiting your healthy return.🙏
Que lindo 😍 buen trabajo
Como isso é incrível 🤩
Esa no es la hacha muchas mentira
Awesome work.
You had me tied up to the chair to the very last minute.
Cheers.
Thank you very much! 🤗🐢 Prost!
When you finished this ax it looked like a Viking weapon. That was an good choice wrapping tape around the handle it gave that viking accent to it. You must have a hard time finding old metal objects to restore. How did you learn all the chemicals and ways of burning off rust?
I always see great processes on other websites and videos to edit anything and then I really want to try it myself. I kind of live by saying "I want to try everything once...".🐢
Sort of like some surgeries, dr. Pimple when she has removed a lump if you want the skin to look right you take out some of the extra skin so it will lay flat. Please excuse the comparation. Keep on keeping on.
Great job with lots of patience and love and respect. I'd like to know when this piece was original, how old is it, where did you find it ?
Unfortunately, I don't know anything about the origin since I buy these items online....🐢
@@ForgottenShineRestoration why do you always put a turtle at the end?🐢
@@Skibidirizzfromohio because of his pet turtle
Trabalho incrível, mas o processo é extremamente trabalhoso.. ainda bem que tem a tartaruga para te ajudar.
🐢🐢🤩👍
Comes out so beautiful. What a great deal of time and work on this axe. It is a great restoration and it turns out beautiful.
Thank you very much! 🐢
Thank you for such a wonderful video. Such amazing work, skill and art!
Thank you very much! 🐢
I found a sword from 1788 and I want to restore it but not sure how. I'd love to give it to someone to restore but they all want to keep it 😮 maybe I can just follow your example but it is a learning curve for me. Great video 👌🫵
Your method's are so cool to watch!
Do you keep your finished products?
Really enjoy your vids!!!
Thank you
I know you stated that you didn't want to grind to much to make it paper thin, but couldn't you go back and spot weld it then sand it afterwards?
Beautiful work!
I would have tossed that little bit of rust on the scrap metal trailer.
You have way more vision and talent than I will ever have. Love the finished product!
Thank you very much! 😊🐢
