Very Rusty Military Pickaxe from 1896 Restoration. Over 100 years underground!

An honor to the solder who carried it. A 10 out of 10!

[@ReXtorer]

Thanks!

[@PeterBel-Ford]

Yes indeed !

[@jeffreynerdin3522]

I agree that it’s great work, but I’d rather see all the rust pits removed. That’s not patina or aging, that just the result of neglect. Why not actually restore it back to what the maker intended it to be. Nice work on the handle too.

[@hwesta325]

А по мне, так рыхлый металл выглядит брутальнее и только подчеркивает возраст кирки

[@ZombifiedWatermelon]

9.9 out of 10 I love that you preserved the surface finish. It wears the scars of age proudly while still retaining function. The .1 you're missing is just personal preferance, I would've Blued it, then buffed the surface to a shine leaving the Bluing in the pits for contrast. All in all a magnificent piece. Enjoyed the video!

[@mattdeveau1704]

A definite 10, fantastic result. Amazed you were even able to salvage the bolt. 👍

Another outstanding restoration from the absolute master!!! Just the perfect amount of original parts and new materials. I thought I might have seen the time machine you use to achieve this level of quality… maybe it was an errant extension cord. Well done sir !!!!! Thanks for sharing your video with us… The Old Army Scout…

[@scottcates]

Very nice texture, colors, and surfacing. It was cool that the maker's mark was retained.

I am so glad you didn't burn the handle. Wood stain is so much better in my opinion. Nice refurbishing and it isn't a show piece but you can actually use it too...

You should smooth the metal to give it a even newer appearance

[@MisterGames]

I think it was Backyard Ballistics that made his own effective rust converter with citric acid and bi card. Gets rid of rust without taking away too much base metal.

[@paullambert4445]

Great job! I love usable old tools. It’s like a forest fire Pulaski here in the states. Thanks 🎸🔪

[@g.l.swartz3157]

Don't know if you have thought of this or have the capability to do so, but I once watched a restoration video where the individual cut a space in the handle, and using epoxy, was able to epoxy a small piece of the original handle into the new one. Just a thought. Great work. Keep it up.

The only missing thing was hammering ( axing) a piece of wood log or did some digging in your garden.

On my Tomahawk I used linseed oil over the steel after blueing it. It helps with the weather protection. Once dry you don't notice it to much. 10 stars 🌟

Too pitted, you need to use a steel paste that drys hard as steel, then sand it to a smooth surface to get a better result.

Робота дуже гарна. От тільки чому на ручку збоку не нанесли "лінійку"?...Вона-ж є на оригінальному статутному кресленні (4:21відео). ((( Без "лінійки" кайф неповний. В оригіналі точки на дереві неглибоко набивалися мілким тупим керном і в процесі експлуатації ставали темнішими. З повагою.

[@ReXtorer]
