Thanks for posting this! Every time when I was thinking 'That's good enough', there was another round of polishing!
B&Q will do you a new one for £7, could get there and back in the time this video took to run.
No doubt they could - and no doubt it'll be sh**e quality, whereas this one will last a lifetime, cut cleaner, keep an edge for longer and give the owner the pleasure of having restored it.Originally Posted by soundood

Ignorance breeds Fear. Fear breeds Hatred. Hatred breeds Ignorance. Break the chain.
AGREED as B&@ no doubt forge their axes from Guangdong monkey metal...
Very nice, thanks Bob, and well worth the effort.
While I've enjoyed the video, was it just me who noticed that the guy didn't wear goggles and tried to saw 'in' his hand so to speak? I know, I know..

Excellent Bob! I enjoyed that. Great restoration project... most people would have just thrown that away. Finished better than when it was new I bet.
dang good work but I was expecting some chopping something at the end....
Great vid - I initially tbought 8 mins 39? I'll not watch all of that but the time flew by!
Great restoration job.
Really enjoyed that

I really enjoyed watching that. Anyone know why he heated up the blade and then dunked it in the oil. Was it to temper it again?

Hearing to red and quenching hardened the steel, 200c in the oven and quench tempered it to the required hardness.
The bloke's got wayyyyyy too much time on his hands...
I'm trying to find a reason why anyone would spend so much time, on something like that...
you are not alone, hence my £7 B&Q comment, probably some rich kid who enjoys 'working with his hands' and has a warehouse on his fathers estate to 'play'
Or just someone who enjoys working with wood and metal in his spare time in order to bring something old back to life.
He could of course just spend his time waffling on a watch forum instead!
I would have thought you'd apply your investigative prowess about him, in which case you'd see just how wrong you are.

Ignorance breeds Fear. Fear breeds Hatred. Hatred breeds Ignorance. Break the chain.
The oil quench is less severe than a water quench. In both cases the quench causes a (diffusionless) phase transformation in the steel to a very hard martensite phase (oil not as much as water). However, as quenched it's often too brittle to be useful in impact type applications... like an axe.
The 200°C is the tempering treatment, which (as it's a lower temp) allows a controlled diffusion of the carbon to reduce the martensite content & therefore results in a tougher (impact resistant) steel.
I love watching this stuff BTW

Check out his other videos then, you're in for a treat.

indeed, and spending hours bringing old stuff back to life, coupled with new designs, and then editing the videos, creating a massive presence within social media, uploading video's/photo's to Pinterest/videoamigo.
I think you will find that I already did, and I also think you will find that he is indeed a rich kid, with too much time on his hands, spending hours bringing old stuff back to life, coupled with new designs, and then editing the videos, creating a massive presence within social media, uploading video's/photo's to Pinterest/videoamigo.
this is like 99% of the 'kids' on youtube making a 'fortune' they seem to be just kids doing their thing, those days are gone, with the only kids making money being the ones that can afford the sleak training/editing/production you see now. all of course made to look like a singular individual and his passion.
you have a lot to learn on this subject Ralphy, you already know you should never take anything on face value.

I think I'll get one of these...I don't collect knives ; have a SAK a leatherman and a Kukri ( used for pruning christmas trees).
