And off the charts entertaining! Last fall I unearthed a very similar, massively pitted, single blade axe head, while metal detecting an old, long forgotten farmstead, here in Ontario Canada. I had left it on a rock, thinking it wasn’t worth the effort. But after repeatedly thinking about its potential, I went back last week, and had a bit of a time finding it again. Your video couldn’t come at a better time! I’m so inspired now to bring this long forgotten, discarded, old pitted relic, back into the 21st century! Thankyou for showing the world that nothing is too far gone to not be re-appreciated.🙏 I’m a new fan and will gladly subscribe and follow you from this day forward my friend. Peace and much happiness.❤️ Mark Y.

Hey Buckin' very serious question for you, the fit round the bottom of the head you want no shelf and curl all the way round but does the top of the eye need to be full before you put a wedge in it or can you have gap all the way round and the wedge fill that out. I am making my own handle for the first time and I have found that I have got the top of the handle quite thin, it felt like it needed it to get the head on but now I am worried if my head will move? Thanks in advance buckin' you are a legend. Hope you didn't hurt your hand too much.

Hey Buddy I had a little hardware store in small town Alberta in the late 70,s and 80,s and I sold axes. The Swedish axes sold for about $20 and I sold 5 to 1 over the Ox Brand axes but I loved the Ox Brands myself so always stocked a few. They were over twice the price of the Swedish axes but the old guys who had really used an axe would come in and handle the Ox axes and I would watch their eyes light up at the feel of them. One old fellow, a big bugger, told me he had cleared his homestead quarter (160 acres) with an axe. Do you think he knew what a good axe felt like? Keep on Billying Billy

I'd take some of the radius out as well, because there's too much as it's been over sharpened in the past. I think at this era ( mid 70's ) Mann edge probably did use those aluminum wedges. I'm sure the steel is decent, but they sure aren't on anybody's list of axes to find.

If you boil a rusty axe in water for like 20min and rub off the surface with steel wool it will change the rust to gun blue (rust bluing) wich is rust resisting and looks beautiful with a light oil. It'd make some of those vintage axes shine like new but maintain their antique status
@CHAD-RYAN11 ай бұрын
Does it have to be cleaned of oil first, i found an axe head yesterday and began taking of the red rust. Now im down to the black oxcide
@1402224062511 ай бұрын
@chadlinton.919 yes it typically works better when oil is removed with a solvent before boiling it can take multiple cycles of boiling and carding it should be forming a light almost fuzzy red surface rust each time that you rub off with steel wool eventually will be all black ⚫️ and oil it once you are completely done
@CHAD-RYAN11 ай бұрын
Will it lose its temper?
@1402224062511 ай бұрын
@chadlinton.919 it shouldn't lose its temper until at least until 400°f being a ax head probably tempered to 600°f so should be good just be careful when sharpening it to keep it cool if using power tools

snow & neally is famous for those aluminum wedges. I picked up one of those axes that so many people have with the M stamp on the head that i see alot of people trying to figure out what it is. I have always heard they were snow & neally axes from when they were out sourcing their heads. Mine says 2 1/4 M on it and i connected the dots when i realized it had one of those giant aluminum wedges just like pretty much all the snow & neally axes so chances are it was something that came from them if it was factory n someone didnt put it in there. i always wondered why they dont use wood wedges. Anybody else heard of what im talkin about or know anything different?
