Axe Restoration [Black Axe With Ebony Handle]
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.พ. 2025
- 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

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.
best restoration channel by a mile
Thank you very much! 🐢
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
Your videos help me sleep at night. Thank you 😊
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 ☺💕💕💕🐢

Tremendo!!!
Con un estilo único.
Saludos a todos desde Puerto Rico U.S.A
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! 🐢
Шикарно! Химик, физик и просто золотые руки... 3 в одном!)))
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
Alas, some old things are like reputations: they can never be completely restored.
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. ;)
I have recently rediscovered your channel and I’m currently re-loving every video I watch
Thank you and welcome back! 🐢
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!
Gotta protect the turtles!
As our French friends say....It is now, Le Object d Art.....Love you're work.
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 👌🫵
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! 🐢
Beautiful! And I love the turtle. Nice that you're looking out for his safety while welding.
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
Sí. Hay varios canales especializados en soldadura. Siempre hacen eso cuando se trata de soldar grietas. 👍
BRAVO L'ARTISTE.
When you started sawing the handle I was like dude that’s going to take you a month by hand 😂
Evaporust works really well!
That is awesome, what a legendary axe with a cool story. A character in a movie should use that!
Caspita non pensavo ci volesse così tanto lavoro. Io senza sapere avrei semplicemente tolto la ruggine con disco abrasivo e cartavetro...... Complimenti
Grazie mille! 🐢
“Unhealthy” is the funniest description you could give for that water 🤣🤣
the leather at the end makes it look SUPER cool omfg
Thank you very much! 🐢
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! 🤣🤣🐢
My favorite thing to go to sleep to so nice and calming to see you restore things
All these restoration channels and videos are like a weird version of Kiwami Japan.
The subtle comedy and actions.
Love the coffee colouring! Didn't know it work so well! Awesome job!
Thank you! 🐢
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.
Its amazing how much metal still remained under all that corrosion.
Thats true... 🐢
You mean after his "restoration"...
my favorite recurring bit is him trying to drink the forbidden electrolysis juice
Can anyone repeat this? Cool work!
The junk of metal was like ''ahh, finally I can rest in peace in ground again''
Forgotten Shine Restoration: hold my beer
🤣🤣🤣🐢
Thanks!
Thank you for your support and your very generous contribution!
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!!!😊
I have HDHD so this calms my nerves and amazes me! (I watch your videos when I get out of school)
Thank you for your feedback, I'm very happy if the video helps you! 🐢
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?
I admire your patience, dedication, and hard work. Great job.
Thank you! 🐢
So beauty. And with finish detail againg
One of the best looking axes I’ve ever seen never seen something like it
Thank you very much! 🐢
I think Turtle needs his own little pool 🐢🥰
😅😅🐢
I'm constantly surprised that there's anything left by the time you're done cleaning!
bro has learnt chemistry well!💀👍
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! 🐢
That is absolutely beautiful! Now don’t let it get in that state again!👌😊
I'll try it! 🐢
Your work is top notch I was having a very stressful day I watched this video and it chilled me right out 👍
Whew! That was a lot of work, but a fine finished product.
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
My name is Junior I live in Blount county Alabama I was just wondering what was that Red stuff u were using bro luv yer show and all the good work u got going on very very educational stuff keep up the good work cuz
That looked like a fun project. Thank you for sharing. Cheers!
Thank you very much! Cheers! 🐢🥂
Do you have magic? Because you made an awesome work!!!
Thank you very much! 🐢
Trabalho incrível, mas o processo é extremamente trabalhoso.. ainda bem que tem a tartaruga para te ajudar.
🐢🐢🤩👍
I love the video but what made my day was the turtle wearing a proper welding mask 🤣❤️ bravo!
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!😊🐢
You seem like a legit channel cause the pitting on these is insane
Забыл ещё в кофе добавить красный перец, чтобы топор был острым)
I watch a few different restorations channels but yours is definitely my favourite, I love the silly little things like the turtle and the “stop don’t drink that” makes it much more interesting, i alos like that you explained it all, I’m autistic and have major sensory issues, and you help me calm my brain down
Thank you very much for your detailed comment! I am very happy that you feel comfortable on my channel, welcome! See you soon! 🐢
Crazy to think that something that looks like that can be turned into something so beautiful! Wonderful work my man!
Thank you very much!😁🐢
Excelente trabajo quedó como nueva el hacha
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! 🐢
The side track for the hydrogen experiment was really cool.. made me nostalgic about the school days
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.
Most people would say that axe head was a lost cause including me but you saw something of value in it
Flap disc, if available, might be less aggressive when compared to that thick metal cutting disc you are using on that angle grinder.
A needle scaler is your friend...get one.....nice job.
You made the most out of a piece of metal that was nearly unsalvageable! Happy New Year!
Thank you very much! Happy New Year!
This video should win the Oscar for Best Picture! Why not?
Never seen an ebony handle before. That’s some ridiculously strong wood
Slowly but surely it becomes a very nice ax👍👍👍👍👍
Very nice Restoration and a marvelous handle. Fits all perfect together- gratulations 👍
Thank you! 🐢
Wow..😅 great jobbb!!!!👍🙏
Trabalho primoroso, de muita paciência mas,com um excelente resultado final.
Muito obrigado! 😊🐢
The turtle bit with the sander had me crying with laughter. That was good lmao
Thank you very much! 🐢
Que lindo 😍 buen trabajo
I love Turtle so much. 😁
🥰🥰🐢
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??
“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!”
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
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?
Nice video. That type of axe head was used to plane rough planks from logs in an era before sawmills, or where there were no sawmills. Think Abe Lincoln, the rail splitter.
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!🐢
Its the complex assembly that made it for me.
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?
Best thing about these videos are they help me sleep lol and I know I'm not the only one 😂
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?
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.
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🐢
Sir keren the knight: it was awesome cleaning axe is very impressive
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
Hope you feel better soon 🤢. Awaiting your healthy return.🙏
*That is not rust my friend that is a slab of concrete*
Axe turned out great! Thanks for putting a welding hood on turtle brush. 🐢
Thank you! ♥️🐢
Rust is so crazy to me. I know it’s pretty simple scientifically… but the way it decays something as strong as steel reminds you that eventually when mankind is gone we will have basically nothing to show…all of it will eventually wither away.
I Love how thoughtful you are with Turtle!!
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!
It's so nice making feel sleep because of the great video ^_^
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?🐢
