Thank you!!!! I found an axe head just like this one in the woods with all the same details blade chip's, side pits, and inside rust, all the KZbin videos of axe restoration are just mild orange spot's here and there and they fix it up and make it sound like a huge accomplishment, and i didn't want to just grind away the pits and folding on the back of the axe head ,i want it to still hold character and age, all that I've done to it so far is wirebrush the first layer of rust off, this video set me in the direction i wanted to take with my axe .so thank you

woah i just found one of these exact same axe heads in the woods too!!!! and i was looking for a video on something extremely pitted and was surprised he had such a similar axe head to restore. have you found out who made it?

@@christopherrector7461 I think the one I found was a jersey axe, but I know exactly what you mean all these other videos on restoring axes are just have light orange surface rust and they do all this fancy stuff to it and I'm just like I could take a wire brush to that and get it looking good in like 5 minutes

Every small town in this country has a museum that greatly appreciates and honors donations of such old pieces of American rural history, yet I see so many videos of people totally destroying these beautiful antiques by grinding and polishing some historic find, attempting to make the object look new and spiffy. Thank you sir, for keeping the originality, the beauty, and the integrity of this very old piece of some early Americans life. You have given such honor to this old axe, I am sure the spirit of a long gone pioneer has looked upon you and smiled.

Good that you left the century old pitting in place. So many guys ruin old axes making them mirror finish.

I have just received an axe exactly like yours. It was found inside a tree. Guess who ever left it leaning against it and the tree grew around it. Could that axe be used if you wanted too? Good enough shape?
@GreenridgeMetalWorks Жыл бұрын
Absolutely usable. After I trimmed some of the edges it's fine. It was for a friend though and he wanted it for a wall hanger so it won't get used, kinda sad.

Most of the KZbin audience searches for this type of video within the tool restoration genre. I realize the definition differs but virtually nobody searches for refurbishments, even when they are specially look for them. Please be understanding with KZbin makers, without generalizing search terms most would not be able to deliver. Thanks for watching.
