This Axe was Trash - Restored it into a Treasure

Published 2024-03-22
In today's video I restored this extremely rusty axe , found by a local in Waccamaw River . I worked a lot to restore the axe head but the brilliance of this video is the handle with a superb design, rarely seen until now.
If you liked the video and want to support my work , leave a subscribe and a like . Also if you have questions, feel free to comment and I will reply soon.
Thanks a lot and hope you enjoy the restoration ! Cheers , David !

    That turned out beautiful! I laughed so much when you "fixed" the axe with a bandage LOL

    No talk. No annoying music. Just talent. Well done. From Tasmania.

    I like your glue spreader, it never wears out and is really hard to misplace.

    Most YouTubers who do restoration videos go to great lengths to hide their faces. Incredibly satisfying and beautiful.

    So glad you're back to releasing regularly scheduled videos again. Wonderful restoration as always. Wishing you continued good health!!

    My wife has a collection of antique farm tools and pulleys from her grandma's family farm. I have wanted to send one to you to turn you loose them, but she keeps refusing. Maybe one day one of them will just disappear! 😂
  • I cried when you shoved that wood chisel across all that rust! Lord have mercy.

    I'm shaking my head in disbelief at how beautiful this restoration is David! Love the axe head and the handle is a work of art. And that stump has seen a LOT of splitting!!! God bless you David! ❤️🙏🏼

    My toxic trait is thinking I can do this easily when i can't even afford half of the machines used in this video
  • I've been a wood and metal worker for the last 50 years and without a doubt you are probably one of the most talented Craftsman I've seen

    You have the gifts of an artist and an engineer. A wonderful combination producing an exquisitely beautiful piece.

    I love the way the rust has revealed the grain of the forged steel and shows where the hard edge is inserted into the folded body before forge welding. I haven't finished the video yet, but I hope you re-weld that cutting edge - it's come away in areas, by the looks of it.
