In this weeks video, I'm restoring an antique rusty hatchet. I bought it at an online auction for $10. The axe head was mounted backwards and it sat loosely on the handle. The rust was removed with electrolysis which is a very effective method of rust removal. For this restoration, I went for a mirror finish for the axe head. I almost regretted it as I spent too many hours sanding and polishing the head. But the amazing end result made it worth the effort.
Besides restoring the axe I made it custom by etching the head. I went for a scene from the horror movie The Shining where Jack Nicholson breaks the door with an axe and says the famous phrase "Here's Johnny". This theme was suggested by a friend of mine and I must say that It's very appropriate :)
Oh, and it's crazy sharp! Stick to the end for a demonstration :)
I had so much fun with this project and I hope that you enjoy watching it.
