Many people think that it is difficult - it is not. Having the necessary one ax can be made on a turnkey basis in 3-4 hours.
For polishing, you need an abrasive disc, flap disc, synthetic disc or as it is also called a coral disc. And a couple of sheets of sandpaper with grain 1000 and 2000. To make the ax mirror-like, polish it on a felt wheel. For etching, we need a computer power supply, self-adhesive vinyl stencils and the most common salt. I've done metal pickling before - subscribers should remember. But now I have a big butcher's ax. Several medium axes, one small ax And a kalun ax. Today we will etch the drawing with salt on all axes.
I removed heavy rust and old paint with a cleaning disc. In some places, the rust penetrated deep enough, so it had to be cleaned to bare metal. First, I cleaned the small axes and here he is
- the butcher's great ax. It is almost three times the size of standard axes. We will also etch the drawing on it. The butcher's big ax took more time to clean up. The butcher's big ax was trying to align with emery wheels on an orbital machine. Emery wheels on clean and flat metal shrank quickly. And for me it was a discovery of a synthetic sweep disk, or as it is also called a coral disk. This is a great idea. Metal can be etched on polished coral discs. And it doesn't matter that there are irregularities on the plane. After metal etching, these defects are almost invisible.
Polished axes look impressive even without a pattern. To bring metal to a mirror-like state.
Can be polished with 1000-grit emery wheels, and polished with 2,000-grit. The final polishing was done on a felt wheel with Zh3 automobile mastic. In just a few minutes, the axes are ready. And you must admit that polished axes look great. The big butcher's ax looks especially great.
How to salt a drawing? At the second stage, for etching the metal, you will need a computer power supply, salt at the rate of a kilogram per 4 liters of water. And stencils made on vinyl self-adhesive film. How to make stencils? I have prepared for you stencil layouts on an A3 sheet. What to do with a stencil layout? Throw it off on a flash drive and carry it to the nearest printing studio. Where ask to make a plotter cut on vinyl self-adhesive film. You can also buy installation film there,
How to transfer a stencil to metal? We take a stencil with text. And remove with a knife or needle all the self-adhesive film around the text and inside the letters. Only the text remains on the background. To transfer the sticker to the metal, we glue the mounting foil on the stencil, smooth it and carefully remove it. The stencil was transferred to the film.
Degrease the ax with solvent or alcohol, and try to glue the stencil the first time. Smooth it well and bend it strongly, slowly pull off the mounting tape. Plain leaflet or star-shaped stickers can be glued without mounting foil. The main thing is not to touch the adhesive base with your hands.
Single-layer etching will look good, but double-layer etching creates the illusion of depth. This is done simply. First, we glue all the stencils that should shine. After that, we glue the stencils on top, which will seem to be in the background. It is very important to observe the temperature regime. The temperature of the solution should be the same as the temperature of the ax 25-30 degrees. Find out the rest of the nuances in the video.
