Old hatchet restoration

Old hatchet restoration. I this video I will restore my sons little axe and make super cool details.
This rusty hatchet is from the 90’s and my son have been using it for wood slicing. It’s now time to give his tool a clean-up, repair and restoration.
I started by removing the ugly plastic wedge so I could remove the axe handle and begin my job working on the head of the hatchet. The rust on the hatchet head was surprisingly just surface rust so I could almost wash all the rust of with regular soap water. NICE!
The red painting on the head of this old tool was relatively easy to grind off. To this job I used an angel grinder with grid 360. I added a new cool shape to the back of the axe head with my belt sander grid 120/360.
How to polish an axe head
To get the mirror blank axe head effect I used my new polishing machine for about 1½ hour. I added a red metal paint to the bottom of the hatchets head. I think that it looks very good and fits this restoration very well. ;o)
I re-used the old hatchet handle and sanded it nicely with belt sander grid 120 and hand sander grid 360. The result was a new beautiful and silky soft wood handle. I’m a sucker for wood handles - just loves them.
To hold the handle, I used an oak wood wedge and 2 custom made brass wedges. This looks really cool on the axe for sure.

[@AwesomeRestorations]

Thanks for watching and.... yes he really loves it now :)

[@colie563]

The shape changes you made created a lovely profile and the hint of red was cool. At first i was surprised (and a touch dismayed) that you weren't making a new handle, but i fully admit that you were right. Under the knicks and chips and ugly barcode, there was some beautiful wood just waiting to be released. Nice job.

[@AwesomeRestorations]

thank you so much

[@jamesagugliaro8187]

Whether he bought it or not you have to agree the axe at the end looked beautiful

[@editor0018]

The two brass wedges on top of the handle took it over the top for me. Excellent work and video. Thank you from Canada.

[@thomaspolley4977]

The old hatchet still has the factory grind and bar code on the handle. It looks like he bought a marbles hatchet off of Amazon prime last week and soaked it over night in muratic acid.

[@robewalk2]

Martin, so much fun watching you turn something as simple as a hatchet into not only a functional tool, but something beautiful. I've wondered what your magic blue or green solutions were, but figured they were some type of glycerin product and I'm sure that axe handle will never come loose while using it. 👍
