    At least you didnt polish it up to a mirror finish. Looks good and useable.

    I just finished an axe restoration myself and had to put a new handle in it. I removed the stain/clear from the new handle since it had runs and I could do better. I scraped it with a knife, cutting edge 90 degrees to the wood, to remove the bulk of the clear and save sandpaper, then I sanded it and added boiled linseed oil on it.

    I think Swedish natives are so impressive of you.
    Very cool “Sweden 🇸🇪” Axe 🪓
    It’s very cool color! But you’ll add yellow on axe because Sweden 🇸🇪 flag is blue and yellow.
    That’s fine if you don’t want to add yellow paint on axe.
    GREAT AXEMAKER!!!! See ya next time 👍

    When you factor in the cost of a new handle plus all the supplies and labor to restore it would it have been more cost effective to just go buy a new axe ? Don't get me wrong you did an awesome job. Very satisfying to watch you do it as well :)

    • @putridscene

      I mean probably, but there's no TH-cam ad revenue from just buying a new axe.

    • @tomhollis2685
      @tomhollis2685 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      That's a good point Chris and I think about it sometimes when I restore an axe. But there is the satisfaction of taking a classic ax and giving it a new life. Someone will be using this axe 100 years from now. (Plus, have you priced Swedish axes lately?) 🙂

    • @Masterfighterx
      @Masterfighterx 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It's always worth it to restore a good quality axe, compared to buy a junk chinese axe from a hardware store.
      Wetterlings are sadly out of business.
      I always scout flea markets for old good quality Swedish or Danish (DSI, which went out of business around 2000) axes, either in usable condition at a price I can see myself paying, or as I did with the last one, found someone selling an old DSI 4 that needed a little tlc, she didn't know much about it, thus sold it to me for about what would be $12.
      Took the handle off, which was then scraped and sanded down, probably the original 30-40+ year old handle too, went over the head here and there, really good shape for it's age, poll hasn't been hammered too many times then it was ready, put it back on the handle, oiled it, sharpened the bit and its life is back, love it, quite short handle for the head, 4lbs and a mere 50-ish cm, but having looked at historical files it was like that when it was new.
      Also have some awesome old dsi hammers that I've never seen anything like before, kinda regular with nail puller but the design is so different, I think they're at least 60 years old.

    Best way I found to remove the varnish off a handle is to use a sharp knife and lightly scrape it off. Wrangler star has a good video here on TH-cam on it.

  • @johnrudy9404

    Good overall, but not good idea to use power sharpening. Better to slow file, then use a stone. PS may heat the steel too much.

    Paint doesn’t adhere well to steel. You need to prime the raw steel before painting for best results. And longevity

  • @kevinalexander6812
    @kevinalexander6812 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nothing wrong with using a store bought/pre-manufactured handle. But I prefer to make my own from scratch. However if you have a mass produced handle with a varnish finish you'd like to remove. I recommend just scraping it off well with an old knife blade held at a 90° angle. Go down until you're scraping away a very thin layer of unvarnished wood. Then smooth to your desired smoothness using sandpaper. I like to use it alone in my hands but a block or power sander works too. If you have a makers mark that you like to use, then maybe wood burn it into the end of the handle. That's my technique and I like to date my handles too with at least the year. Then finish it off with a generous coating of boiled linseed oil once a day for a week. Then once a week for a month. Then once a month for a year, then once a year every year for as long as you own the axe (on the yearly creation date perhaps🤷‍♂️) Your handle should look and feel spectacular for decades.
