Antique Cleaver Restoration

My friend found this old cleaver in the attic and told me to restore it for him because it belonged to his great-grandfather. from what I noticed the cleaver is over 120 years old due to the holes made with a mandrel and the bracelet are forged. I couldn't save the handle because it was to much bended from the years past that past over him and it was to much damaged and decided to make the original form straight and ergonomic. I welded the old holes from the blade because one of them it was broke and I left the blade to look more like the original way(not to shiny)and with the old marks on it.
I hope you enjoyed my video and leave a comment and subscribe

Perfect work and I think the handle was bent in original shape, anyhow the new handle looks pretty good.

[@Semen22011983]

the axe before the restoration was more interesting. The bend of the handle, the half-rotted ropes, the rotten handle - were something brutally fabulous. And the RESTORER licked everything and stuck a stick.

[@DiyHenryMartin]

Good job sir 👌👍

[@isaiahpero7837]

I feel like he could've done a lot more with grinding the rust pits out of the axe blade and polishing it up better, but it still looked great in the end. Great job.

[@jimgarrett7078]

Excellent!!!

I think I saw an Orc wielding that thing in LOTR.

I think the handle was made of a natural curved branch.

It reminds me of an Ulu. Maybe make a concave bowl on a cutting board to see how well it roll/chops within a hollow, like an ulu.

with respect mate , the Handel was made bent. it stops you hitting your hand on the butchers block.

Похоже изначально ручка крепилась на внутренние, заваренные отверстия. Обух был бы короче, топорик, наверное изящнее. А внешние крепления уже пост ремонтный вариант, за отсутствием возможности, или скорее необходимости реставрации.

Did you not want to get some more of the pits out?

No ,because i don't want to be like mirror glass,if I remove the pits is like I removed the years that have passed over him.thank you for watching

[@leonardosaravia5623]

Esta restauración realmente no mantuvo la belleza de la forma del hacha ... La antigua tenía una curvatura magnífica en su mango, además se veía llena de historia... Ahora sólo es una plancha de Fierro con un mango sin gracia

Bel lavoro! Forse era meglio sagomare un po' il legno come in origine! Comunque va' bene lo stesso!

[@TheSmallWorkshop]

Very interesting looking cleaver, is it from back home? Oh, and I think the original handle was bent upwards on purpose, I've seen similar handles on rustic cleavers.

[@AlexBRestoration]

Thanks,yes is it from home.I returning a year ago for good.

Yeah I think he messed the handle up don’t even look original

Yeah don't like the handle but besides that It looks great!! Handle would have looked better if you just got a big stick from the yard and shaped it. For a more rustic look to it.. I also subscribed to your channel Enjoyed the video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

[@PaulinaPaulino]

Great video, but I have a comment and a question. My comment is this: At 1:40 in the video, it appears as if you are holding the adjustable wrench backwards on the nut. Holding it that way puts all the torque on the moveable part of the wrench, and would be the cause if the wrench were to fail. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGLceJmtrqumnpY My question is: After welding the holes closed, why wouldn't you close off the secondary holes, and make the mounting holes back in the original location?

[@AlexBRestoration]

I watched the video and thank you for advice.I honestly I didn't know how to use it properly,thank you for watching

[@clarenceharris8155]

Well it's obvious that it's not the same 100 years old cleaver it used to be, the history of it have been erase 😕

[@cynthiagonsalves5911]

i think the actual handle was bent for a reason..and a bent restored handle would have been 100%. and the blade could have been sharper..i can cut carrots with a hammer also..😉

Thank you for comment, after I posted the video me too I believe the handle was bent it.🤣🤣 thank you for watching my video.

Hey buddy, You always do a great job on restoring things. But on this 100 year old meat cleaver. You destroyed it by cutting the handle! now its not an Antique!! and its not worth $1.00 now!!

Bro, were you making a salad?

[@georgeouroussoff3830]

That's not a restoration. Restoration it's when you carefully preserve the original, you on the other hand desided to dump the original handle. With that logic you might as well replace the blade, it's old and rotten anyway.

[@sashakraus671]

What an utter waste of history. This should have been restored as a historic artefact.

[@groom_of_the_stool]

Museum administrator here: That cleaver is never going to go on display and he's still using it for its primary purpose. He can do whatever he wants with it.

[@sashakraus671]

@@groom_of_the_stool The original cleaver had a bent handle for its original purpose. Millions of KZbinrs are free to do whatever they want and there isn't a thing I can do about it.
