Axe Restoration [Black Axe With Ebony Handle]

[@maggiemiller6056]

My 10yr old son who has autism was sitting watching this video this morning so of course I looked it up to make sure it's a good channel. Thank you so much for making these! He's been laying listening to the sounds all morning.

[@ForgottenShineRestoration]

I'm very happy to hear that and it means a lot to me too! Do you know what exactly excites him about it? 🐢

[@maggiemiller6056]

@ForgottenShineRestoration It's relaxing him actually! At some points he was just laying on the couch listening to the sounds of the video while staring at the ceiling. He also really likes the rust removal and chemical restoration type parts. After I posted this comment some of his siblings came out to watch also. They all really loved the turtle doing different things throughout. He's definitely still paying attention though as I overheard him telling his sibling to "Just watch and trust the process." 🤣

[@ForgottenShineRestoration]

🤩👍🐢❤️

[@Fleur_de_Rosé]

​​@@maggiemiller6056 In my head it translated as your wise young son speaking in Yoda, like: "While watching we trust and the process is just." or some suchlike, idk why.😅 Probably because your son sounds like a profound, certain and encouraging sibling.😊 P.S. I enjoyed your wholesome share, as well.

Great work! a little tip I learned while welding a cracks is you need to locate each end of the crack and drill out each end of the crack and then fill your drill hole and weld over. Maybe not a big deal on things like this but on bigger pieces that withstand more stress if you don't do it, the crack can still continue cracking. Great videos keep it up!

[@miqueascarrillo6280]

Genius😎

[@MyChannel773]

oh yeah i’ve heard about that with concrete! it’s wild how basically just making the crack bigger makes it more stable

[@jasonthomas7995]

you can also do this with cast metal but i like to preheat before welding

[@Alan_Edwards]

Good tip

Sí. Hay varios canales especializados en soldadura. Siempre hacen eso cuando se trata de soldar grietas. 👍

I would've given up the moment that second time the rust didn't come off easily, plus the skills needed to shape that handle from scratch omg!! Nice work, awesome skills plus the patience. I know for a fact all this work took a couple of days, all put together and compiled into a 30 min video 👍👍

[@yaguarete79]

One thing I like about your videos is that you sow all the processes you tried, even those which failed or were not totally successful. That's very honest and teaches a lot. The only thing I would change is the length of subtitles, as they're too fast for me and I have to either rewind or pause the video to read them in full. But it's a great material!! By the way, excellent tip on how to do a straight cut on wood with a saw.

[@ForgottenShineRestoration]

Thank you very much for your great Feedback! 🤩👍🐢

[@donpickett5819]

the same with me "I'm a low reader

[@Fleur_de_Rosé]

Yeah, I'd keep the subtitles up a bit longer just because some of us like to make certain we are understanding every element of what you are explaining and also your way of speaking (vernacular?) is different than mine, so that takes a second too. But I LOVE the subtitles!!!😊

[@JMDinOKC]

Alas, some old things are like reputations: they can never be completely restored.

I found a sword from 1788 and I want to restore it but not sure how. I'd love to give it to someone to restore but they all want to keep it 😮 maybe I can just follow your example but it is a learning curve for me. Great video 👌🫵

[@michaeld3195]

I enjoy your restoration videos because they seem really genuine. I've watched too many where the item has supposedly sat in dirt for decades, and they all have the same green laden rust regardless of age or location found. Then it all chips away easily with a bit of poking of brushing. I can see your rust had really bonded with the surface over time and needed some real elbow work

[@SeaweedBeastboy]

When you’re really into watching old abandoned stuff, you can easily separate between fake and genuine ones. And yes, I’ve seen a channel faking many models cars with moss-liked decor and dirt, I can easily say it’s fake lmao. It’s hard to disguise things as old if you don’t really know how to make it into one.

[@xgamewinner]

Is there a history behind this axe head in relation to how old it is? Phenomenal work bringing it back to life!! And for adding the information to the processes.

[@annesand823]

I would like to know too! The design is old.

[@davidletasi3322]

This type of bearded axe is frequently found in Bulgaria and the surrounding area by metal detection. They were hand forged from around 900CE to 1200CE and were popular throwing axes like the Francica during the middle Byzantium era during the middle ages. A good number of these were sold on Ebay around 15 years ago.

This axe is definitely a war style weapon, I'd be very curious to trace its pattern. I've never seen a non military axe with a reinforced eye like that. Great worj, liked and subbed

[@ForgottenShineRestoration]

[@travisweatherley7728]

Definitely. It has a upwards swep point for stabing similar to that of the Dane axe

[@不如朕的太监]

The work is amazing. As an inexperienced person with absolutely no knowledge of how to do what you just did, I must ask, why did you not fill in some of the pits prior to applying the finishing touches? It seems like you could have used the tig (MIG) welder to do that just like you did with the head of the ax. Just curious.

Now thats a Proper Hand Axe! So great to see it restored and dignified again, I'm no expert but if I had to guess it looks Scandinavian in origin based on the profile of it (it looks very reminiscent of The Dane Axe, otherwise known as The Halfted Axe) its got to be over 100 years old probably made by a farrier as a personal tool

This is late medieval axe from somewhere in Europe and he only destroyed it. It had around 400-500 years and now it’s just a piece of iron

The nylon bolt was a good idea but, the back of the clamp looked like it was in metal-to -metal contact with the axe head. So, the current ran through the clamp as well. You could see the clamp immediately reacting as soon as you turned on the machine.
