Restoration Old Rusty Butcher Axe

Hello folks! Today I want to show you my new restoration project. I found this old rusty butcher axe at flea market. The shape of axe is very interesting. Well, time to restore it! Restoration process: I used rust remover liquid and then clean it via iron brush and start to polishing metal. I used sandpaper for polishing from 40 to 3000 grids. I used also my lathe wood machine as an assistant for polishing. The main thing is to fix the workpiece correctly. Parts of the axe handle were in good condition, and I cleaned them with sandpaper and dark water and soap. I separated the axe blade from the head and tempered it in oil. Next, using the polishing machine for the axe blade. I heated the axe blade to 800 degrees and used a wooden hammer to straighten it. I used thick nails for the rivets, and also used a welding machine to brew this place for greater clarity. After that, for the axe head, I used iron chloride to darken it. As usual, I made a test for the axe. Thank you! Please, Lik
