So, it's come to my attention to run a raffle in Canada you either have to be a charity or a non-profit organization . Since I am a non-profit-business I legally can't do this. So I have refunded everyone and truly feeling very silly and embarrassed for not looking into this before now. However, I am very encouraged by all the support and will look at other options for something like this in the future, perhaps a Patreon account...
I was WONDERING why I got that email! #58 too, I felt such a good chance of winning! If you open up a way to directly donate to you, that $5 is still yours tho!
Just set up the patreon and see how it goes. You can't have a raffle but what if you held a drawing at a certain date to be given to a random patreon supporter? Just a thought. Laws about raffles are weird.
@@The_Osprey a business set up such that they can't keep profits, after paying for upkeep, wages, etc. This can apply to any business, but mostly used for ones that like, feed the homeless, help abuse victims, promote community health etc.
I recently started restoring old sledge hammers, I picked up 5 12-14lb heads for £10, cleaned one of them up to discover it was from an old sword/gunsmith company from the 1800s, now im on the hunt for more, great fun uncovering history of old tools.
The reason why there's two color on the axe head, it's because there are two materials used when they forged the axe head. Darker side is the harden, more carbon in it. Hults Bruk ( or Hultafor in North American market) is a 300 years old Swedish axe company! Very lucky you found one! Hello from Toronto!!
I have a huge amount of respect for the fact that you feel that way about patreon and would much rather earn your money there's very few people left out there like us and nobody these days wants to have to actually put in an honest day's work for a paycheck so I commend you and it shows the type of person you really are
Set up Patreon, Tim, and have that as a giveaway to one of the first month’s patrons. Seriously, I would support you through Patreon, and I have a feeling many others would as well.
With a slight risk of sounding like a dick. How can you not know about tempering lines? Or the hotdog in a bun technique? Where you put a bit of tool steel into a softer bit of steel/iron?
I believe that the the hatchet was edge hardened and the striking face was left soft, so as not to shatter when you strike it. Also to absorb the energy from a chop and, again, not shatter. Very smart design.
patreons voluntary, no ones holding a gun to someones head and making them pay. content creators deserve to be paid for all their work, and im sure plenty of people would be happy to support you. and you can always do more stuff on patreon. extra bits of video, first looks at new projects, maybe even slots for preordering new products. do it man, plenty would support it, and you could ease your own financial burden for putting out content for us.
I’d say the line on the axe would be the hardening line, when you quench and etch a Damascus blade and you dont put the whole thing is the oil you can see where it was quenched and the evaporust eched the blade because it is some sort of acid
The different colour of steel is because the edge is harder high carbon steel to maintain a better edge, longer with a softer steel behind it! That axe had decades of life left to it and looks really well restored!! Well done!
@@barnett25 cool, I didn't think of that but it makes sense thank you. I dont know if modern axes are the same build as older ones? I presumed they were but maybe not?
I believe 2 piece axe construction was not phased out until about 1960 in sweden. I got some of the edge steel they used at wetterlings and other manufacturers, it is basically 1095 with a cool profile
Well as far away as you are from NE Texas, I think it takes like maybe extra minute n half before it gets this far south. So yeah, really long time since last one for sure, and so maybe y'all should make two a month. Stay warm, be safe, and have fun too. Oh yeah, thanks for sharing with us.
One hater. What is there not to like? Your one of my favorite blacksmiths and I'm always looking forward to your next project and video. I'm in on the raffle too. Edit: I am not in on the raffle. Stupid law. Timothy, send me the ax and I will raffle it off and then send you the money. I know you can trust me I just don't know how I can prove it to you. But it least I gave you an idea. Find someone you trust in America that can make it happen. ??? Or just let people support you through patreon, or do what you think is best.
Don't know if anyone else commented about the "line", but I believe its a temper line, where the edge was tempered and quenched but the rest of the head was allowed to cool naturally?
Hi Timothy, you'll have to check for yourself but in the UK there is a loophole allowing the sale of items for instance a relatively cheap sticker accompanied with a raffle number. E.G see Doghouse channel. Hope that helps 😃
Really nice job on the axe, l have restored several hatches,axes, adze, and broad axes and finishing axes. Love your channel and style of videos and content. Take care and give Martin a tap on the shoulder.
Big hello from the uk , love the videos, such a beautiful axe in the hands of a true professional! I would have liked to bought a ticket but unfortunately we don’t make the rules . Looking forward to more restoration videos, it’s a nice direction to go.
Often Hult bruks axes has a painted axe head in red or blue with only the edge part of it in clean steel. If interested you can check it on Google for pics of that.
I cheatded, by heating the whole in the owen, originally for changein the colour of the handle. Now the handle shrunk and came loose. What to do ? Now I firmly set the axe head to the handle with many blows with the handle to the stone. Then I formed a wall made out of placteciene, or modelling-clay around the eye. Now I poured the most thin Epoxy-Recin into the voids, to cement the shaft to the head. Extremely effective and strong. Even a Viking, could not have invented such an effective method.
@Timothy, an awesome video!! BTW my favorite subject is a restoration video, like a third of all my subscriptions are for restoration channels. This was as creative and original as any I have seen. Keep up the good work!!! ;)
Great work Tim! You will be at 100k soon my friend! Keep up the great work. Only 1 suggestion. I was checking out your Instagram. Try using more hashtags in your posts to get you better coverage. I have found some pretty awesome youtube channels on IG just from following hashtags. Gotta get more people checking out your awesome work.
Hey man, nothing wrong with Patreon, we don't mind, really. We are more than used to it with other content creators. I think it would help you a lot, and it's a nice and practical way for us to contribute. I think you should do it. Cheers!
You can do a similar monthly raffle system on patreon. $1 is like just wanting to help out and maybe have an easier ability to talk to you and give input, $5 is one entry, $10 is two entries and maybe an extra incentive like early access to videos. Or whatever you feel is justified. Because you could make some easy content like restoring random antiques like the axe and be able to give it to one of your patrons a month. Plus early contributors have the best chances to receive one of the giveaways, so it'll help with patreon growth
Hi Valius, You should be receiving a direct email from me, but I had to shut it down, as legally I can't do this. I am sorry for the confusion. I appreciate your support. Thanks
Ya bigtime, it’s first thing you notice when you take it out of a vinegar bath and I’m definitely not a metal worker. It’s a handy way to see how much hardened edge is left on an old axe. Really surprised he didn’t know that!
The line is where the axe was lowered into the quench . Meaning the front of the axe is hardened and the eye is softer exactly how it should be that is why you shouldn’t use the back of an axe as a hammer and if you do it mushrooms
Q: Hi dear and interesting man, if you take pictures and publish your regular works / projects and not special projects for TH-cam for us, will it not lower the costs of making the videos ? I'm sure we enjoy regular everyday work as well.
Tim I love all your videos and wish I could donate and be a member on your paterion group. But my money i make from my knives help pay my cancer bills that insurance doesn't cover. Stsge 4 battling for 4 years now. God Bless
Great job! The shiny polish is non traditional, but we'll allow it across the pond ;) Hults Bruk are still in business after 324 years, so you could drop them an email and get the background on that axe, info(at)hultsbruk(dot)se. Tack för att du räddade en Svensk yxa!

Set up a esty page mate sell what you make .(:
Hard to believe a blacksmith didn't realize the bit was a different colour because it's the hardened section of the axe.

Just a temper line, same thing happens when you etch a differentially hardened knife blade
With a slight risk of sounding like a dick. How can you not know about tempering lines? Or the hotdog in a bun technique? Where you put a bit of tool steel into a softer bit of steel/iron?
@@easterriot1916 nope, it’s temper line
Yeees finally i see something that comes from my country
Hej
@@lindo023ttv2 hej
That line on the cheeks is called the hamon like and it shows where the tempered steel meets the soft steel.
I believe that the the hatchet was edge hardened and the striking face was left soft, so as not to shatter when you strike it. Also to absorb the energy from a chop and, again, not shatter. Very smart design.
Definitely differential heat treat, high carbon bit on a mild steel body
No dummy, it's all carbon steel but only hardened at the bit.
it’s mono steel just differentially heat treated.
No need for name calling though!

Fantastic restoration on that Old Swedish AXE, Timothy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice change of pace, should try strong white vinegar for rust removal. Can take a while but a cheap alternative to some chemicals out there.
Wow that´s so cool - I live less than 15 minutes away from Hults bruk.
She turned out very well. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge on God bless.
I respect that so much. Raffling items you make is an amazing idea.
all the best with your videos , your very genuine in the way you talk i wish i had the money for you raffle. all the best .
Blessings from Swansea Illinois friend.

It's refreshing to see a light handle, I was sort of worried you were going to char it.
And the Raffle idea is awesome!

I love your videos I hope you would grow bigger in 2021 and hope 2021 give you a million subs
Greetings from Toronto brother. Just grabbed my raffle ticket ✊🏻🇨🇦. Keep doin what ya do bro.

Restore a vise next or a blacksmith vise it's a different feeling restoring a vise you're gonna use almost everyday

Beautiful axe but bummer on the raffle bit Tim
Interesting, I just made and included some axes I want to restore, first video after is this video... 😂 perfect timing.
2:08 SOME PLAIN 'OL CHEAP WHITE VINEGAR...
It"s a temper line you see them on most old axes.
i got a old axe that id like to restore. if you did a class id sing up right away. ill get a ticket or two as well.

So, I just got an email saying my raffle purchase has been refunded. very confusing.
Hi Valius, You should be receiving a direct email from me, but I had to shut it down, as legally I can't do this. I am sorry for the confusion. I appreciate your support. Thanks
Evaporust usually takes around 24 Hours.
Getting me all exited..................!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
have you tried making a titanium or exotic metal draw knife yet?
Tim, I think you are in the Fraser Valley. Where did you get your Ash? I need some for a project.
I aWaiting for new videos please upload as much as possible fast
Dude it's the hardening line their only edge quenched
That line is from heat treatment , how on earth you dont know that on your trade?!
Exactly, I'm a bit baffled
Ya bigtime, it’s first thing you notice when you take it out of a vinegar bath and I’m definitely not a metal worker. It’s a handy way to see how much hardened edge is left on an old axe. Really surprised he didn’t know that!
Tim, why not put the axe up for auction?
You need to put your brand/signature on the handle.
Raffle page is down? Getting a 404 for it.
Raffle is closed, please see description above. Thanks
The dark line is high carbon steel evaporust turns tool steel black
Vinegar does same thing, much cheaper
Bought a ticket. Mostly to support you for all the reasons you mentioned. Get new lighting bro. Great channel. Keep up the great work.
Raffle page is 404
@@AlanW weird, my money was refunded. Hummm?
The line is where the axe was lowered into the quench . Meaning the front of the axe is hardened and the eye is softer exactly how it should be that is why you shouldn’t use the back of an axe as a hammer and if you do it mushrooms
Why dont you make a titanium axe
How many tickets are you selling on the raffle?
Hi Tim be careful mate I THINK YOU NEED A PERMET TO DO A RAFFLE big fines apply.
And the axe turns out grate maybe do Moore videos like this one. (:
I agree he works hard , Its just that I seen a clip wear a man was find for the same thing.
I just don't won't to see Tim get into any trouble.(:
I want that...dang it!

You BC boys lol... Too many mushrooms around. 😂👊
First! Thanks for the video
Isn't a little axe called a hatchet?
Just add a 1$ option on Patreon, enough people donating 1 of their hard earned dollars will make a difference
Decent
Tim
I love all your videos and wish I could donate and be a member on your paterion group.
But my money i make from my knives help pay my cancer bills that insurance doesn't cover. Stsge 4 battling for 4 years now.
God Bless
I would give you money on the Patreon.
I'm in the process of setting one up but my videos are garbage....
Pog
Oh how I wish I could teach you to properly pronounce "Hults bruk".
Great job! The shiny polish is non traditional, but we'll allow it across the pond ;) Hults Bruk are still in business after 324 years, so you could drop them an email and get the background on that axe, info(at)hultsbruk(dot)se. Tack för att du räddade en Svensk yxa!

More of a "restomod", I dont think Hult Bruks ever offered a polished model haha
You should really be using a dusk mask - that stuff will kill you.
You should just go ahead and setup a Subscribe Star or Patreon account
I really do respect youre decision not to do Patrion - even i would totally understand.
