Default Axe Restoration

Good evening everybody!

I have been working for a while on this restoration of an old Axe, since there were no power tools involved in this project.

I cleaned the rust with Electrolysis again, as I think there is no quicker and better way to fight the rust for the price of 2 spoons o baking soda!

Here is the link to the video, please enjoy!

After sanding I etched the axe head in the hot vinegar to give a nice dark grey patina, almost looks like Tungsten!

Here is some picks for you as well!

After Electrolysis and Wire Brush



Grinded with Files

Thanks or watching!

Have a great day!
