How to polish an Axe WITHOUT power tools

[@u.sonomabeach6528]

Alot of people commenting on how much faster and easier it would have been with power tools. Some people don't have power tools and specifically search out videos like these. Also, when you get finished with a project like this it is so rewarding when done by hand. Some people just enjoy the aesthetics of doing it this way. Lastly, some people love having one arm look like Popeyes and the other arm looking like Olive-oil's!

[@sloaneisenbart9347]

i found a big 2.5" anchor bolt at the tesla plant going up in austin TX. im wanting to do this with it and use it as a paper weight. could not have made a better video myself.

Using mechanical equipment can be faster but doing something quickly dose not always mean it is done properly.

[@Biggchad]

I completely agree. If I’m doing it for someone else or doing it knowing I’m going to sell the finished product, I’d prefer to use a buffer machine. But things I plan to keep in the collection I like to do by hand I enjoy knowing I put the time and effort into it more.

[@u.sonomabeach6528]

@@Biggchad for sure. When I ‘restored’ my first couple of pieces I only had hand tools. Later, I acquired some power tools and did a few and it was quicker but not as satisfying.

[@WeavingSpider77]

This guy has some serious patience and discipline. Well done!!! Make the handle!

[@frenchriversprings]

Thank You. The handle video is made.

[@osomxl]

Just a little tip, always fold your sandpaper in thirds. It keeps it from sliding around all over the place, as well as giving three surfaces to sand with as it is difficult to apply pressure at the edges of the sand paper.

[@Imwright720]

There is something satisfying about hand polishing, total waste of time, but satisfying.

[@ronaldpatton5906]

Spent 40 years as a tool maker and polishing was one of my jobs. I’ll be dammed if I’m going to polish something then stick it in a tree.

[@Trip-Blaster]

Thats impressive i repair and restore axes for friends and family and ine guy asked me if i could do a mirror finish. Knowing i do everything by hand i just loved to see this video.

It was good of him to share a part of his life that is important to him and to hand us knowledge and the act of patience - in a way his biggest lesson was the ability to stick to the task once started - and he was doing it for others - to show how it is done - to polish by hand - a true labor of love - so much better to see a hand filled with sandpaper than a smart phone or all the other gizmos that have led us away from meaningful things - I might use power tools now - but if the power should ever go out for any length of time - this video and others like it - with all the additional bits of personal information regarding the how to will come in handy and make life feel useful when their is no internet nor phone service and the ability and knowledge of how to do this might be a good barter skill to own. It is sort of a Zen vid.

This is absolute madness. Ever since I polished my first knife I wanted to do it on an axe head too , but knowing how much work it will take I never did. Thanks for sharing it with us. I would love to see the shine after a buffing wheel. Only then all this work with the sandpaper will pay of.

[@HitLeftistsWithHammers]

it really is quite time-consuming when you do it all by hand. whenever I'm watching TV at 10 to sit and sand one, it takes a lot of the bore out of it LOL.

[@JC-fj7oo]

Nice job. In my experience, normal cloth towels and paper towels are abrasive to mirror polished surfaces. I think that's why you had scratches in the end. Try to buff off with clean microfiber with gentle pressure if you can and see the difference.

[@lydiaajohnson]

He needed to buff with Tripoli after sanding and before polishing. It removes the fine scratches that sanding doesn’t get unless you go to 15 or 20k grit. I do this at my job.

A handy man will at least be able to build things around- and inside the house. A man is not made to sit around his wife all day and braid her hair so to speak. It's a big misconception about how a relationship should be like - that a man and a woman need to have everything in common in order for a relationship to work - and one of the reason why many fall apart today. It's all lies pushed by dumb feminists and beta males. Marriages lasted much longer when men and women married without having anything in common, when each knew their place. A man is a man and should do man things, a woman is a woman and should do woman things, a plant is a plant and should do plant things.

[@Flashahol]

Trick from a guy who restored a couple of medieval armor replicas: Let your 600 and 1000/2000 grit sandpaper clog up some as you work and get mirror finish in less time with the same car metal polish and no more than 2000 grit. Just keep sanding when your 600+ seems clogged up and see how it goes from there...

[@frenchriversprings]

Thanks for the tip!

[@marcn8750]

@@frenchriversprings nice video. What’s the reason for changing the direction of the sanding?

[@marcn8750]

What the reason that letting the 600 grits clog up gets a mirror finish faster ?

[@Flashahol]

@@marcn8750 As it gets clogged up, it becomes smoother and the grit seems finer, as if it was a higher grit sandpaper, but broken in. If you go for a new sheet of higher grit paper from there, you'll have to break that one in while making the surface dull again.

[@marcn8750]

@@Flashahol interesting. I’ve always wondered why my older used sandpaper seems to be more gentle. So it’s basically less aggressive snd will give a shine faster IF the surface cuts are “ready” for it. The slag on the used paper is basically steel dust mixed with the lubricant. The abrasive on the paper is either worn away or covered by this slag. Correct?

[@SouthernEnglishman]

I agree with the process, that is, up until the polishing. the mag polish is for magnesium, not steel. if you change to a German metal polish like Semichome, as well as, keeping your polish stokes straight and not going around in circles, it will produce a clearer reflection. The thing to also take note of is for people trying to do this, make sure you remove "ALL" the scratches caused by the previous sandpaper. If not, you will get a distorted reflection (kind of like a carnival mirror). If you would like to keep the polish, you will need to seal with a metal lacquer to prevent it from oxidizing. However, for me personally, I would have used machines, it's just a little faster.

[@Papperlapappmaul]

Agreed. Though, I wouldn't bother to polish the whole axe head in the first place, just the primary bevel with the cutting edge. The remainder would be fine with a 600 grid finish. But I guess the video still fits its intended purpose, except for the use of an unsuitable polishing compound.

[@SouthernEnglishman]

It sounds light the paste and/or cotton wheel could be too coarse, or you are applying too much pressure when applying it to the buffing wheel. Make sure your buffing wheel is clean and you are using a very small amount of your paste and let the bracelet bearly touch the wheel.

[@tunghoang4336]

Many thank for your advice, i will try

[@phantomcreamer]

Why can't it be used for steel?

[@Colin999999999]

If you look at the video though, the container says "for polishing all metal" right on the front of it. I think he got the intended result and the product seemed to work just fine!

[@michaelbirchall2247]

This video should be called "Why we invented power tools!"

[@Sakuxxx1x]

Hehe im making knives just for fun and i got no power tools. The most relaxing / fun part is hand sanding the hardened and annealed blade. =)

[@InefableTheo]

@@Sakuxxx1x May I ask what grits or wax do you use? Im up to the same hobby.

[@Sakuxxx1x]

I use wet sandpaper as lubricant just water. I go through grits: 180/240/320/400/600 sometimes 800 but i find for knives i always use 600 is enough....there will be scratches anyway. I never go higher because i dont like mirrow polish....i think mirrow polish finish is for posers.....;)

[@Sakuxxx1x]

Hardening (heating to red hot and quenching in oil) makes the Blade hard, too hard it will be brittle and can break. Sorry english is not my fist language i may used the wrong word i meant tempering. With tempering you heat the blade again but slower and not as hot as when quenching. So with tempering you get some "flexibility / softness " back so the blade can be used, it is than hard enough to hold an edge, but not too hard so it would chip. Annealing is making it soft again by heating to red hot, and letting it slowly aircool.

I feel your pain... I restore and sell norlund axes on ebay with exotic handles. Most polished.. I do use a flapwheel for primary grind, but i hand sand the rest. 60(flap) 120, 180, 220 320 400 600 1000 1500 2000 then black then white compound on a wheel. It takes me about 4 hrs start to finish on a polish.

[@gailpengelly8581]

Wow. That’s dedication for you. Stunning job dude. Thank you.x

[@michael8030]

I appreciate the hard work that went into this, but a couple critiques that I would make is that you are using too much pressure. The sand paper will remove material no matter how hard you press, but pushing too hard will leave scratches. With light pressure you can finish in half the time. You can achieve a mirror finish using water and 2000 grit sand paper with light finger pressure. WD-40 has surfactants in it that will prevent you from achieving a good finish, so you should save that until the end after the buff. if you have any light scratches a little rouge will take care of it with a microfiber cloth. if there are any major gouges I'd recommend a bastard cut mill file. It won't cause deep scratches, but will take a little longer. Never change directions. if you're sanding from heel to edge do that the through whole process. Once the scratches disappear from the previous grit then go to the next higher. If you move the the next grit too soon you will have scratches though that won't come out. I normally use 60, 120, 220, 400, 600, 1000, 1200, and 2000.

[@Aikidobear129]

Now that is beautiful!- Great job- I restore antique Military swords , bayonets etc. and know exactly how long it takes to do what you have done on this axe head. I just finished restoring a 1907 British Sword Bayonet and I'm tired. It's amazing how sore you get polishing metal by hand.

Thanks very much for posting this. I needed the instruction. I've got a table my GGrandfather made, 60,000 pieces of inlaid wood. The legs have steel slides on the bottom, one is rusted up badly (old cat pee that leeched through the carpet a long time ago), I discovered when i moved the table. The wood is fine, thank goodness, but one steel slide is about as rusty as your axe was to start. I can't find a replacement slide in the same dimension, so I'm going to restore this one.

[@Donegaldan]

[@richh1576]

Good presentation! Indeed a polished axe will deliver more effective cutting force/impact because of lack of surface friction. However once a desirable high mirror polish is attained, I would recommend that the axehead be long term BOILED in HOT water for several HOURS. This will produce 'beneficial' rust on the surface - (black) ferrous oxide which is protective against (red) ferric oxide rust which is 'destructive'. Now you know why there were many more 'black' knights than 'white' (polished/silvery) knights. Also, for those of you who know what USMC KaBar knives are all about; this is why they were supplied with a 'black' surface finish.

[@Leviathanshadex]

Dip the blade in vinegar or "warm" vinegar. Boiling the axe will ruin the heat treatment, potentially annealing the blade and making it more susceptible to dents and rolls. You could etch the blade with vinegar or other chemical process instead of aiding the reaction with detrimental thermal processes.

[@richh1576]

-> @@Leviathanshadex The temperature range for process annealing ranges for STEELS is from 260 °C (500 °F) to 760 °C (1400 °F). 500°F/260°C is a loooooong way from 212°F/100°C. Hope this helps. BTW .... vinegar (5% acetic acid) 'reduces' (the exact opposite of oxidation) the steel - and NO protective coating by the ferric (black) oxide.

[@freakyflow]

Little help for you on the sandpaper ..After a file you will want 80 for any shaping of the metal (edges etc) 120 should be used to rid yourself of any left over rust and remove file scratches and other heavy items 180 should be used against the way you used the 120 which will sand away the 120 marks and make any other deeper scratches much finer and removable with your next grit of 240 or 280 ether or Then on to ether 320 or 400 At 400 you can go dry then go back as a wet .. warm water and dish soap helps it slide better 600 Which you dont need to use along time 800 same thing 1000 grit Your doing to look at your work and see if any scratches stand out from the rest IF so go back to 400 wet over said area and follow grits upwards again ..If not 1500 or 2000..Now that you are at 2000 grit You can start using cleaner and steel compound and polisher ...I myself use wire wheels on a drill or dremel Sanding drums and polishes and far and few by hand

After you sand, if you use Tripoli to buff, then rouge to polish, you will remove the finest stretches left from the 10,000 grit. I do this with bronze. Since you worked so hard, you should get some Tripoli and wool buffing pads and try it. Then polish with a super soft cloth-no paper towels or Terry cloth, too abrasive. Fine cotton cloth. Many micro fibers are too abrasive too.

[@moneyhauler1]

Great video. It has inspired me to have a go at polishing one. I am currently I between the fine emery cloth and a 240 grit. Lots of work but the end result will be worth it. If I am using a polishing wheel what grit should I end up with before polishing?
