#woodworking #axe #restoration
In this video I work on a rusty old axe or hatchet head which I found in my garden while digging.
It packed full of soil, and after clearing that out I could start cleaning up the head. There was quite a lot pitting which I was unable to remove, but I was able to get most of it clean and shiney with a reflective finish.
I make a new handle for the hatchet using a piece of salvaged oak in my workshop.
