The rain outside gave a really good vibe. I’d love the feeling of doing all this on a rainy day. Even though I’ve never done something like this before

I'm really glad you coated it with corrosion protection, there's lots of people on youtube restorating/forging metal not doing it and i always think: yeah it's not gonna look as nice in a realy short time

Oh yeah, this thing would be in need of restoring again in a few short weeks without protection.

Justin, do you have problems with corrosion on your polished axes? Generally, machined, worked, or polished steel is more susceptible to corrosion because energy has been added to the surface metal. Just a question, not a "Hey man, you're doing it wrong!" BTW, you are an artist. You do good work.

@@kossettereaditte7552 this isnt a whoosh thing. This is a genuine comment on metal restoration. Cola or acidic removal works for removing rust, however, leaves the surface looking like the face of the moon as metal does not corrode evenly. Hence why its usually used on surfaces that arent seen or will be painted later on. Grinding does not suffer from the same issue as it is far more controllable.

Andy Flip I agree

[@Confuzius1337]

Looks really nice, but i don't think it will be really good for chopping wood. First you shouldn't grind it with a machine. It became much too hot in this progress and this destroyed the original hardening of the steel. Second is that all these little notches will prevent the axe gliding easily through the wood. So while it looks kind of nice, I don't think it is a good axe. Just my five cents...
