Antique Rusty Cleaver - Restoration

My friend has found this rusty old cleaver on the steel waste. I really liked the unique look of it with the hook instead of a hole to hang it on the wall. As christmas holidays were just around to happen, I knew I had to pick a project that I have all the material ready in my shop, because everybody was in vacation. So i choose to restore this cleaver.
The disassembling was done very quickly, so was the sandblasting.
The original handle was held in place with the peened tang. I didn't really like the shape of the handle and I also didn't wanted to peen the handle again. Si I decided to make a more ergonomic nice looking handle. That's why I shortened the tang around 45mm and drilled three 5mm holes in it. That went very well as the tang wasn't hardened. Next I wanted to make it mirror polished. I startet with the belt sander to grind away all the pitting from the rust. Then it was time for hand sanding. I started with 120 grit, after all the scratches were gone from the belt sander I moved on with 240. Then 400, 1000 and 1200 at the end. I then had a fine enough surface to be able to mirror polish it on the cotton buffing wheel. It took quite some time to do that, but the end result came out absolutely amazing.
Moving on to the handle. I decided to make a three part sandwich. I started by making a spacer out of smoked oak. Cut out the shape of the tang and then glue it on to a piece of pear tree wood. Then I was able to file the spacer to the same tapered thickness of the tang. After gluing the other side of the handle on and drilling the holes for the rivets through I could start to rough shape the handle with a rasp.
I decided to make three screwable brass rivets. I applied some Loctite on the threads and tighten them together. After that I filed the slotted heads away, flush to the handle. Then it was time to give the handle a final sanding with 120, 240, 400 and 1000 grit and apply linseed oil for the final touch. And after sharpening this job was done completely.
I really liked to work on this cleaver. Mirror poilishing was a lot of work and also the work on the handle was quite challenging, but I really liked the end result and I think it speaks for itself.
I hope you like my work and the video.

The camera angle made it look like he cut off a lot more.

  • I wonder if this geezer instantly knows exactly what tool and technique he needs to use just from looking at a problem. Because I can't help thinking that even if I had a workshop with all the tools he has, all the liquids and sandpaper, everything, I'd still spend forever staring at a rusty bit in an awkward place to get to, and I wouldn't have a clue what to do. His skill lies in not just his techniques, but in being able to assess a problem and solve it in the most efficient way. I guess that's all from experience. I don't think this is something that you could learn how to do with a course in restoration. The man's a genius.

  • It’s nice to know that things like this can go back out there in the world and be recirculated instead of rusting away in some dusty forgotten about location. The circular economy is something I find truly beautiful when done right. I used to wonder why people at the flea market sold rusted axe heads with broken or no handle when I was younger about a couple of years ago and then I realised something that should of been obvious, I guess not from a 13 year old, and found out they can actually be brought back to life and possibly be used for indefinite amount of time as-long as they’re taken care of.

    • @@mymechanics Love your videos. I'm primarily a woodworker and just wanted to comment that it is never necessary to sand wood finer than 320 or 400. This can cause burnishing with most woods, preventing the finish from penetrating the grain. For most purposes 220 is as fine as most fine furniture wood is sanded before the application of a finish. With a plain linseed oil finish, 180-220 grit is plenty fine. Also curious why you would hand rasp the bulk of material off the handle when you have that awesome belt sander.

Sandblasting is also good, but can erode metal more if you are not careful, but also sandblasting is better if you plan to later paint the surface.

      @NTRprojects@NTRprojects3 жыл бұрын

    • It's a customized step drill. The step drill had a small diameter of 4.3mm and a big one of 7.4mm, with a 45° cone between them. But the holes of the tang and the pre drilled holes in the handle were 5mm. So I pressed on a little aluminium tube on the small drill that was just a little bit under 5mm. I made a little Zapfensenker out of my Stufenbohrer haha
