Perfect Restoration - Estwing Axe

I was sent this Estwing Axe a few years ago by a subscriber and recently uncovered it while moving some stuff about.
I usuals do upgrades but this time I decided to try and restore its It looks like it came straight from the factory, its not perfect as the leather case was rough and the bottom tab was really rusted but I wanted to try keep all the original parts.

Thanks very much

@@DiesInEveryFilm brother you need to pick up this thing called a belt eraser. It's exactly what it sounds like a big stick of gum eraser. Beautiful outcome I love it.. wonderful job with the leather work.. edit. That looks exactly like the brand new models they sell at hardware stores..

[@DiesInEveryFilm]

@@mercuryrising9174 i have one mate, thanks for watching

[@mercuryrising9174]

@@DiesInEveryFilm good stuff. I honestly feel like this is the most amazing outcome of a old estwing boys hatchet I've seen yet..

[@matthewarnold6794]

Nice job. You make it look so easy. I have had one of those since about 1963 that needs a new handle and some sanding. Now that I know how to do it, I'll get to it.

[@WastelandForge]

Love it mate, but one note. You should put in Feric for a week, and fire treat the leather, and use elves blood to seal the leather, and once it's out of the feric you should bath it in a crome bath at mordor. And then sharpen it on skyrm dragon bones. Also I'm level 100 in blacksmithing on skyrm, so I know what I'm talking about

[@DiesInEveryFilm]

Hahahahaha touche mate. Thanks very much ill take that advice and use it on my next cast iron axe

[@MegaSkyline69]

I found an old rusty, leather handled, double bit hatchet in my shed the other day, that needs some TLC. You've inspired me to give it a go mate. That's a banging looking hatchet. 👍

[@DiesInEveryFilm]

Ah cool mate, im glad I could help and great to know

[@fernandohernandezbej]

This is a good restoration. You respect the age of the object and make a great job. One suggestion: a coat of varnish or similar on the leather handle. A greeting from me and another from my dog.

[@DiesInEveryFilm]

Thanks mate, no varnish as thats what they do at the factory and it can ruin the leather thats why i oiled it to give it a better life.

[@paulmorris2690]

Had my estwing axe now for 22 years and it never looked as good as that one does. Great work ATB Paul

[@DiesInEveryFilm]

That’s so cool man thank you

[@Aleeknives]

Damn bro! That's sick man! Great work and I am glad you added the decorative spacers in the handle to! Nice work from you friend in the U.S.

[@DiesInEveryFilm]

Cheers mate, I wanted to try get it as close to factory as I could mate.

[@skewedmaker]

Amazing restoration work. Love the handle, that looks like it's ready for a few more decades of chopping in style

[@DiesInEveryFilm]

Thanks mate, really did enjoy making this one.

Thanks mate, yeh I wanted it to stay as original as possible mate, it was rough but works fine

[@williamclark1633]

Probably the best restoration of an Estwing leather gripped tools I've seen to date. I've done a lot of these and I try to get this same result.

[@lovejcdc]

Wow what a great job on the hatchet. Outside of the aged sheath it looks brand new. I call that a major win win lol

[@dixonqwerty]

Great job as always mate! I recently learned that Estwing was founded by a swede who emigrated to USA. Didn't know that before lol

[@DiesInEveryFilm]

Thank you mate, ah no way I didn’t realise that ether

[@joshschneider9766]

I've used easily a hundred chopper axed and by far my estwing is the most comfortable in the hand, phenomenal edge retention, and properly weighted.
