Parabéns, pelo excelente trabalho.

That's a beautiful and very creative looking axe. The contrast between the wood and metal accents is great!

It's very satisfying to take old items and make something new and enhanced from them. Sometimes a simple 'facelift' is all that's required. Sometimes a little more. In this case, a memory of a family member is preserved for a few more decades, hopefully. The rework process is thorough and creative with the new handle accents and metal spline. I imagine this axe is quite a bit more durable now than previously. A good polish made it look highly finished. Great job on the tool and the time-lapse segments.

Thanks for watching.

Sensacional! Uma obra de arte. Parabéns

Достойная работа ! Спасибо за эстетическое удовольствие !))

Wspaniałe odnowienie! 👍

Ficou maravilhoso ficou lindo demais hein Que trabalho você é incrível

Quality craftsmanship, love the handle , never seen one made in this way

I’ve seen a few of your pieces before. I’ve always enjoyed them. I can honestly say this one blew me away. Absolute perfection, and amazing work. Subscribed.

Thanks for watching and subscribe.

Um Trabalho Espetacular, Parabéns.

Breathing new life into something that it’s original creator, long passed away, would be proud of. I have a deep reverence for the craftsman who created tools and the tools themselves, that have lasted beyond a lifetime. There’s something special about holding something that’s survived not only time but the abuse that it’s taken during it’s lifetime. I think about who may have used the tool and for what purpose. Thanks for giving this tool time for the next generation to hopefully use and appreciate.🙏👍🇺🇸 Your skills are off the chart BTW.

Thanks for watching. 👍👍👍

Stunning, Having the wedge in the back like that is awesome. I would really love to have that on my side as a little wedge banger because it deserves to be used. Outstanding job.

Thanks for watching

Изумительная переделка! Рукоятка- отдельное восхищение! Подписка однозначно.

Awesome work! Loved the video. Love the work, you rock!

If you ever make another, similar to this one, I think it would look great mounted on a handle of MESQUITE! In the us it’s mainly used for the aromatic smoke. Few know that it is a truly beautifully grained piece of wood. Just a simple carnauba wax, buffed to a high gloss. Stunning

Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching

Wow. I really admire the patience and skill it must take to do these sorts of projects. What a beautiful restoration!

There's very few things more impressive than watching a true craftsman go to work.

Thank you so much.

I had to blow through most of the video due to lack of time. I have seen some nice restorations, but that is one of the best, if not the best I have seen. Everything from the cut of the axe head to the sculp of the handle is simply masterful. Wish I could restore one of my dad's tools. Your grandpa would be proud. That is a 'cutting edge' axe for the ages.

Thank you so much 👍👍👍

Espetacular!👏👏👏👏👏👏

Wow - you used several techniques that I have never seen before anywhere else (combo wood/metal handle - partial depth inlays, and a very ingenious way to keep the ax head on). Beautiful results on the ax head and the handle. Thank you for making that video.

O melhor e mais lindo trabalho do YouTube. Parabéns

Beautiful job, aluminum inlays look gorgeous, the only con I find is the screw to secure the handle, would' ve looked a lot better with a flush bronce ribbet. Apart of that, this is by far one of the best jobs I've seen lately.

Thanks for watching.

Красиво! Если повесить на стену и любоваться. Топорище,чем оно монолитней, тем крепче и безопасней!

скорее всего, так и будет (я про стену и любоваться). кому сейчас нужен топор? жил 15 лет в частном секторе, топоров была "коллекция" - штуки 4 разных размеров. пользовал их раз 5 суммарно (на всех). срубал старое дерево и по мелочи столярку какую-то, типа заострения кольев для новых деревьев. с учетом явного облегчения, этот топорик не для тяжелых работ все равно.

да,а то от удара все эти пластины как воткнуться в руку😂😂не до красоты будет🤦‍♂️

Lindo demais parabens. Grande abraço Brasil

I sure hope your grandfather is around to see how nice his old ax turned out. 👍

Next level craftsmanship. Amazing results.

Your metal restorations are as accurate as your normal woodworks are and it's a pleasure, to watch you working! Thanx! 😉🦊

Thanks for watching.

Beautiful, excellent job! Thank you.

Очень красиво!!! Спасибо! Также, мне кажется, тут есть отличная идея для ручки ножа.

Excelente trabajo solo falta una buena funda que dejé ver sus acabados tienes mi like

Мастер класс, обалденно, отличная реставрация. 👍👍👍👍

Really nice work. I would have loved to see the finishing process in detail (even if it means a longer video); it's the best part of it IMO! All of it, polishing of the head, sanding of handle, etc. I also assume you did some coating or even tempering of the iron head since it's not rusty, that would have been cool to see too :)

ok

I will try to pay attention to such details next time.

Охренеть можно 👍

I felt the same. A lot of the "rough" work was shown, and then it suddenly jumped to a much more fine finish. I imagine a metal inlay is mainly for looks? I'm guessing it'll not handle as well as a wood handle (stiffer, less damping) and over time the join will separate. Looks cool when new though...

Произведение искусства - моё почтение Мастер 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Beautiful work. My father is a woodworker. Enjoyed the heck out of that restoration.

wow

Thanks for watching

One of the many phenomenal restorations shown on YouTube where, it's so perfect, you'd never want to actually use it, for fear of getting scratches on it.

Thanks for watching

Incredible piece of art Sir ,✋🎩

Very nice workmanship and a credit to your grandfather. The only thing I would change as was taught by my father when using a slot head screw and now with Pozi/ Philips head screws to ensure the slot of the screw travels the length of the item as it will look better if you do than across as it is now but of cause that is for you to decide, just a thought from my late father from me to you.

Ты как Бог: "вдыхаешь дух жизни" - и вот " новое творение". Очень красиво !!!

amazing axe bro!!!love the design and the metal infusion!!. Would love an axe like this for our camping adventures

Thanks for watching.

Wow that handle is gorgeous !! I'll try to replicate it.

thats a very beautiful axe, you definitely have a creative eye, and a very talented restorer, thank you for sharing

Thanks for watching

It turned out really nice brother your grandad would be very proud of you👍!! You’ve got me looking at an old ax of mine a little differently now!!

Thank you so much

Thank you for this video. One question, did you make the belt sander/grinder that you used in the beginning of the video? One comment. It seems that a craftsman at your level can rightly choose the tool to use. A file can give pleasure and control which power tools may not. Thanks again.

@Pniko1014 Thanks for the grinder information. Do not know if I will buy, but it is good to know that they are available and to see the web site. Thanks again, Dale

Alec Steel sells out of Montana a grinder like this. Its not cheap but if your looking for the last belt grinder you’ll need. This style is it then.

I said it looked like an old trade ax when I first started watching the video Now it's a piece of art, what an amazing piece of work, well done sir! Do you know what the makers mark originally was on it?

Thanks for watching. 👍👍👍

excelente trabalho!👏👏👏👏👏👏

Thats definitely the nicest axe ive ever seen awesome job

Watching your videos is addictive. When you started, I'm like there's no way he can do anything with that. Then it turns to, Ok I see where he's going with this. It ends up as my god, that wasn't even close to what I had in my head. Outstanding craftsmanship. You are a true artist.

Thank you so much.

Parabéns!!! Excelente trabalho!!

Obrigado por assistir.

Amazing. You really make it look so easy. Such a talent

Thanks for watching

Wow, what a beautiful, insightful restoration of your grandfather’s tool. I’m sure that you have garnered his approval. Thank you for sharing this insightful video presentation. Wishing you and your family a blessed week, gentle weather and restful evenings. Peace brother

Thanks for watching and support. 👍👍👍

Lindo! Parabéns - Natal/Brasil

I really like that retention tang idea, never seen that before, does it work as well as a wedge?

It’s much better.

Красотища какая, Молодец, Мастер!!!

That is simply a beautiful work of art! Very unique. Taking orders yet??? I MUST have one please!!!

Great work,it’s beautiful. You truly are a great craftsman. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you for watching.

You turned an old rusty axe into a work or art. Just beautiful.

Thanks for watching

Very nice. Love the way you integrated metal and wood. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for watching.

AMIGO, PARABENS. FICOU LINDO DEMAIS. GANHOU MAIS UM INSCRITO

That is art. I would put that on my wall any time. I really like what they can do with a fireman's axe.

I've done a hatchet and one axe. Reshaped both profiles of the heads with a grinder and belt sander. Polished with some wet sanding and wax, that was the easy part. Fitting the handle was a chore. Nonetheless both turned out very nice however kinda plain. It's amazing what a person can do with limited tools! Anybody reading this comment know that you can do it also. Have courage!

Yes you're right. Thank you for watching.

Awesome work! I love that you stained the entire handle BEFORE assembly.

Thanks for watching.

What a nice peace of art you made out of an old peace. Respect for your work!!! 👍🙏

Yes it was a nice piece made out of an old piece....

Thank you so much

How did you keep the metal shiny? did you coat it with something? Nice work

Most beautiful axe handle I've ever seen. Great work!

Absolutely perfect shape. Thank you for this beautiful work 🌟👌🏻🗜️⚒️

@WD Restoration with pleasure ✌🏻

Thanks for watching.

Que excelente trabajo,te felicito amigo

Stunning! Beautiful blend of metal and wood, nice details in your design!

My friend, are you all right? I wish you good health, happy family, happy every day

Thanks for watching

muy hermoso trabajo 👏

Qual material usado no meio da madeira, gostei muito do seu trabalho, parabéns

Fantastic, I loved it. Nice job, good skills. This is how you turn some scrap into a living memory of the passed one, emotional. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for watching

Le plus beau manche de hache que j'aie vu à ce jour. Excellente finition. Bravo.

Nice video! Thank you for using protective gear and setting a good example for everyone.

File only cuts on the forward stroke. The guide on the bandsaw should be set 1/4” above your work.

Thanks for watching. 👍👍👍

Отличный результат, впечатляет!!!

I’m speechless! That’s what I want for my birthday. I love it, great worksmaship

Very beautiful, looks amazing, great job.

Thank you so much.

That's the coolest axe i've ever seen ! Great job :)

Thanks for watching

One of the NICEST Hatchet Restos I've seen. EXCELLENT!!⚡️✌️

This is an interesting and creative rework that gives the hatchet a unique and distinctive appearance, a world away from its original condition. Your meticulously precise craftsmanship was appreciated and respected and you have created a genuine custom tool. Its been a pleasure to see and to have subscribed to follow your artistry.

Thanks for watching. 👍👍👍

OMG, I want one.... Absolutely one of the most beautiful works of art I have seen on You Tube. That I would consider a Hatchet, not an axe though. Can you tell us why you called an axe. Interested !

Шикарная работа,это произведение искусства.

I love this project. Made something old look like a million bucks. Question for you. Do you change to a junk blade on your bandsaw before cutting the aluminum or is it soft enough not to ruin the teeth?

Incredible finish! Very high end!

Thanks for watching

Chulada de trabajo, gracias por compartir, saludos.

simplesmente lindissimo

Зачем делать сложно, то что проще простого. Зачёт!

Well done,top marks,enjoyed this.Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for watching

I would have gun blued it in places. Personally, I would have ground the emblem out. Part of it is missing. Or define it with a dremel tool to get the stamp mark fully back. Otherwise, it's a nice looking project. 🐀🐾

Thanks for watching

Amazing work bro!! The finish is awesome!!!

👍 Beautiful restoration work! 🙂

Thanks for watching

Meinen aller größten Respekt, eine wunderschöne Arbeit! Mein Großvater hätte gesagt: "Ein Mann mit goldenen Händen!".

Danke fürs Ansehen.

I need you to know how special your channel is. You just did so many things I’ve never seen done before

@WD Restoration You are absolutely very welcome. You are a level above anyone I’ve ever seen.

Thank you so much 😊

maravilhoso, parabéns!!!

My friend, are you all right? I wish you good health, happy family, happy every day

Your restor came out really nice bet if grandpa was here he’d really appreciate what you did

Thanks for watching

Отличная работа, этого топора даже жалко по назначению использовать :)

That is so beautiful, i did not want to use it! 👍👍

Beautiful work. A masterpiece.

Thank you so much

Having an old axe that belonged to my grandfather I would've kept it exactly as it was, and find another old axe elsewhere to rebuild - but perhaps I'm too sentimental that way. The result is stunning, no doubt.

Thanks for watching

Безупречно. Жаль без самореза в конце не обошлось, в остальном потрясающе эстетично

Эстетично, но не практично - чисто декоративно.

Amazing axe. Awesome dude Good work!

Absolutely spectacular. Very nice job sir.

What a beautiful, exquisite thing you have created. It is a work of art, made out of a functional piece of homeware.

It's not functional. It's a decoration with a little screw holding the head on. Looks like a something out of a gift shop at a Chinese restaurant.

Thank you so much.
