I have a typo in the video didn't catch it :). I put tongue oil, but it's actually Tung oil. Also, I know restoration is something new I'm experimenting with. These can be bought new for cheap, but keep in mind that I find the process satisfying. I make videos for you all so your opinion matters :D. So let me know what you think.

[@lexboegen]

While you can buy *a* hatchet, you can't buy *that* hatchet! It's a one-of-a-kind. Nice work.

[@arhumnasir5389]

Awesome

[@anjledube7026]

Glen you made me giggle giggle giggle 😂😂😂😂😂 then I was like he doesn't know how to use an axe😂😂😂😂😂🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😂😂😂😂 but you showed that bottle who is boss much love and respect thank you for the giggle no wonder I hate my Harley Davidson spoke tires I really do they get pitted very easily just being parked by my old hot tub cost a lot of it the pain glad to see you're doing okay on the 20th is 1 years since my accident and how I want to get on my ride but I know at this moment I cannot I was trying to help my Aunt Shirley night before last to breathe and I came back into bed and she hollered again I rolled over and fell off the bed onto a pale and cracked three ribs so it is very hard to breathe it is very hard to walk move but I am doing okay a whole lot better than last year thank you for the giggles I needed them much love and respect honey God bless peace be with you can't wait for the next one PS when you build the tiny house put it on Wheels but above the wheels so I have storage below 4 water and other items that can be stored in between that area just an idea floors that you pull up maybe one in the kitchen one in the living room God bless can't wait I want my tiny house still laughing

[@MakerInTraining]

Nice job!!!! Love how it turned out!! : )

[@bluecollarbuilds8860]

My wife and I love your videos, but the one where you barely talk or have much commentary, not our favorite. Your skills are great and a joy to watch, but definitely keep the commentary and your personality in the videos.

[@dianahardy5922]

You are definitely a WORKER!!! all that sanding, and smoothing. My hands would have gotten super tired. I have an old Axe handle and I thought for a minute to do what you've done...but that is A LOT of work!!! Beautiful restored Axe!

[@yishaiwolfe6308]

Finally someone shows me how to fix my axe handle. Thank you good sir

[@johnstone2701]

I just found the same type of axe head on my land. Doing metal detecting with my kids. We're super excited to try this ourselves. Great video my friend. God bless you my friend.

[@jasond1245]

Nice looking hatchet love watching people restore old knifes and tools

[@janinelew2483]

I like to watch things get restored. The uglier the better. I love the way you film your work!

[@elainemunro4621]

When you started the video, I thought it was an old axe that was a family heritage because of its style and that you were going to bring out the finish and make a beautiful resharpen and handle. When you started grinding, I tought omg, he is ruining the old piece. But I kept watching and was very doubtful you would make anything unique, but this was only my third video, so I really didn’t know the depth of your talent. Great job!

[@H3XIUS]

Check out reverse electrolysis for removing deep rust. A couple hour soak in Naval Jelly will get rid of most surface rust as well, without having to grind so much. Good work though. :)

[@jamespaul3622]

I've been seeing a lot of axe/hatchet videos lately. Yours is the only one I've watched. Well done! I have a rusty old hatchet I should mess with, but it's a fiberglass handled one.

[@daveoflogheadaxemods5387]

Knock out the resin, bust the handle off, get a replacement, and wedge it up bud. You got this.

[@ILuv2learn]

Great job on the restoration. You turned a rusty hulk into a piece of art. Try a drawknife the next time you make an axe handle. I think you will like it and shaping will go faster.

[@robert574]

Looks good to me... great job!! It's ok to leave a few dings it gives it some character. Those pins do serve a purpose...they say "that's my hatchet".

[@itsgeegra]

Man you brought that thing back to life - looks near brand new. I actually quite like the half way grinded/cratered look, kinda a cool contrast as a display piece, but then again - there's no accounting for my taste!

[@DIYCreators]

Haha Thank you

[@lsswappedcessna]

One of the best restorations I think I've seen on KZbin to date. Functional, too!

[@ViolentKisses87]

There is just something about watching guys working with their hands.

[@KrushKrills]

Good job! the dwarves of Moria would be proud!

[@SimpleLife1971]

I like to watch someone who pours their heart into a restoration project and the results are spectacular! Congratulations, you've just created an heirloom!

[@moliveira1025]

I have this exact head in my garage. This is inspiration for sure.

[@freethought2296]

It's called a roofing hatchet, the hammerhead was for driving roofing nails, the notch in the blade was for pulling nails, the hatchet part was for splitting wood cedar shingles, and the overall length from hammerhead face to hatchet bland was the offset length to start the next row of shingles. Nice work for your first project, your attention to detail is great.

[@kn_disrrptofficial4125]

Plz help I just found one in a old barn I'm a newbie lol

[@EpicGr3g]

You know full well he had so much fun in that closing section, there's deffinitely more clips of him just chopping random stuff

[@DIYCreators]

Haha there was certainly more footage 😂

[@TheBiggerBooger]

i got more of a "ehh fuck this woodchoppin shit this too much work jack" vibe from the end of the clip haha

[@raymondmcgee4491]

Tongue oil is good for that "spit shine" look 😉. Nice work again!

[@ManCrafting]

Nice job Glenn. Really sharp edge if it’ll cut a water bottle in half.

[@DIYCreators]

Thanks man

[@marshall8733]

I love you videos man! No click baits. Just the beauty of your works. I would love to have that shop someday. Keep up the good work man! God bless

[@Chiefcpc]

Excellent job. Let's see some more of your work!

[@VeradonaRestoration]

Very nice job, Thanks !

[@nicolasbrient1181]

Nice job, i think restoration is on of the most satisfying things we can do

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you, yes totally :D

[@HarshmanHills]

I am getting ready to redo this exact type of hatchet.

[@AliYassinToma]

Quick "tip" put it in vinegar for a week or 2 then wash and sand c:

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you, i'm on it :)

[@AliYassinToma]

@@DIYCreators its just to eliminate using the dremel and to get rid of all the rust so less sanding can be enough. U r welcome

[@jonathanbalderas2766]

This is probably my favorite transformation video I've seen so far on youtube, Great Job!!

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you, I appreciate the feedback.

[@Sphendrana]

I loved this so much, because now I know how much material I need to remove from all my dads antique butcher knifes and axes and hatchets! project time!

[@donrsanders4772]

Great job. Really beautiful work. Thanks for sharing.

[@Guardian4080]

Awesome video. Really liked the epoxy finish on the handle top.

[@muffincomic]

Super satisfying project ! Loved the results ! Having said that, it is much more hardwork than it looks !

[@jamesjohnson6239]

Great job! I just found a "plumb" head .i was just going to put a handle on it but after seeing your video im inspired! !

[@damagedpartical]

I really like the sound design in this video. The balance between the music and sanding sounds is really good

[@daughterofzion2905]

You did a beautiful job👏👏👏👏👏

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you

[@aniket.khade27]

Great to see you do restoration as well mate. I love these kind of videos. The epoxy finish on the head makes it a real decorative piece, which can be used as well.

[@Woodden]

Very nice job on your first restoration job.

[@elainemunro4621]

Wow! The artist!!

[@jmp116]

Very nice attention to detail.

[@bigdaddycole77]

I like the epoxy finish on the eye of the ax head. I don't think I have seen anyone else do that on a restoration. You do good stuff, man. Thanks!

[@lisag2771]

Beautiful work! I like the extras you did with the round stock and resin. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@OSODIY]

Killer Glenn! I mean killer, Glenn! The comma makes a big difference I guess 🤣⚒️

[@willl5250]

The most satisfying way to damage something newly restored.... Chopping stuff!

[@milyp1359]

You are a genius OMG 😮

[@joedenson6823]

That is beautiful work!

[@user-eg2ng8gk9f]

После такой реставрации, жалко работать данным инструментом :) Хорошая работа 👍👍👍

[@Jimmy27D]

Nice work! I watch a TON of tool restoration videos. I love the process. This one was fantastic. The four pins and the epoxy handle head are not a common/typical process and it shows your unique skills set and talent. Keep it up.

[@MG-hb7mt]

Beautiful work

[@imdalaw123]

Another magic job

[@diceyr6056]

Mate, I’ve seen so many of your videos and think every one of them are great, and I must add I think your accent is great as well. Keep up the good work.

[@smashed-thumb9886]

Great job, loved how you hand made the handle, it really makes everything come together. Coulda, woulda, shoulda done it like this or like that, just do it the way you want and enjoy.

[@luckypuppa4950]

Great job turned out very nice

[@depv343]

ASMR senses are tingling

[@michaelrodriguez8345]

Beautiful job. I just picked up the same hatchet at auction for $5. Can't wait to refurbish it.

[@seanmcguire7974]

Super clean

[@davesherwood5500]

Nice Job, you could've taken the sanding deeper to get at the pitting, but the end result is still very good and the pitting gives it some character anyway.

[@samk8005]

Wow! It's incredible how much better that looks, bravo!

[@lifeisablessing247]

This was so satisfying to watch. Lol!

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you

[@claytonm.kuehnii283]

Awesome work as always. I like the attention to detail u put into every piece u do. Love this channel bro, keep up the great work

[@davebuts1921]

Very nice Glen.

[@JulianSammy]

I love the result! Great work. Like some others, I suspect you could have used a chemical/electro process to deal with a lot of the rust while taking advantage of the piece. Keep it up - I'm learning a lot from you!

[@kathylauwagie3177]

Good job! I think it would also look pretty cool to put epoxy where you have the steel rods.

[@DIYCreators]

Thanks! Yep. Maybe i'll try with it with a future project.

[@markmccombs6009]

Beautiful brother...

[@jairosalgado5265]

Parabéns pelo trabalho !!!! Com sabedoria sempre conseguimos excelentes resultados..........................

[@rebelrailroader]

Nicely done.

[@spigaman926]

Great job! Looks sick man.

[@DIYCreators]

Thanks Mike

[@langdonplaster491]

Excellent work!

[@MakingAndFixing]

Wow, it came out really nice! I also like how you used a file to shape the handle. I have never seen anyone do that. Most people use a belt sander to do that. I like your way better. Good job!

[@coils1945]

Good job man!!! Looks clean!!!!

[@HoustonR6ryda]

man I enjoyed that -I found my Dad's roofing hatchet and hung a new hickory handle ,but I ordered it from the amish off ebay.

[@cornetabim]

Perfect !!!

[@nesleyheiney3111]

That’s a clean looking hatchet!!!

[@HerreraCam]

Excellent work!!

[@jeffreygraham4058]

Looks beautiful I'm restoring a small axe myself I hope mine turns out as good as yours

[@nickeberhard2798]

Well done!

[@Omastormy]

Excellent! Good job!

[@gthmcty111]

Fantastic!!! Loved this resto!

[@FranksDIY]

Great job looks great and works great too I see.

[@LOMROB]

Awesome project and it came out amazing.

[@Joe_Sant]

Nice work. It looks great.

[@trevhaydon5090]

That is really nice work Glenn, Kudos to ya, All the best from North London UK.

[@JKKuffaar]

You made this sheetrock hammer look really good! Great job!

[@grizztough4091]

once you get it polished like that, try one by heating up to 170 degrees, and doing a cold bluing on it. you can use several layers, and with 0000 steel wool bring about a black pearl look to the metal. You may like it

[@zachwolfrom4522]

That was a quick one mil subs. Congratulations on your success, it's a testament to the work you put into your channel.

[@hd108a2]

Very nice, Great job.

[@shoofle]

that is one nice looking hatchet! I love the pins in the handle actually

[@MCsCreations]

Really nice job, dude. Beautiful!

[@benji376]

High quality video, satisfying results!

[@jzehn7]

Looks great! I hope to see more of these kind of videos

[@agreenr6915]

good product for deep rust, pitting and nooks and crannies is evaporust not bad in price and can be found in most auto parts and hardware stores

[@belizeguy]

Wow ! What a difference !

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you

[@the-handy-fixer]

Awesome project! Thanks for sharing!

[@LightningFabrication]

Nice job on the Roofer's axe. Looks good.

[@ivand.murillo5928]

Awesome job!

[@davidparry8514]

just finished an old Craftsman 1/2 axe a friend gave me. was able to use the butt end of an old 36" handle I saved from a previous restoration AND it came off an old craftsman single bit.

[@WordUnheard]

That was AMAZING!

[@damag3plan]

Great work

[@francotroncoso9616]

really beautifull work

[@michaelskinner896]

Nice work sir!

[@DONTCALLMETHAT]
