Broken Rusty Adze Restoration - Grandpa's Toolbox
Broken Rusty Adze Restoration - Grandpa's Toolbox
If you like it don't forget to subscribe :)
I went back to my grandfather's toolbox. This time I noticed this rusty and broken adze. I think it was his favorite tool, he used it for almost anything he had to work on, I remember he also used it in masonry to break the bricks. The adze definitely replaced the hammer for him, I rarely saw him using the hammer. I can be seen after wear how long it has been used. I'm sure he would have been glad to see it restored.
I hope you like my work and enjoy watching video :)

The way your grand father used that tool is not unusual. That is a mansory builder adze. It is used mostly as a hammer to nail timber frames together to pour in concrete and then the adze part is used to loosen those timber from the solidified concrete. The adze part is also used to break bricks in half. It also has a key hole for nail removal. It is not an adze for wood carving.
The truth has been spoken! Thank you for your feedback :)
Yeah, these are super common in Greece. Here most concrete forms are still done with boards and beams of wood. The nails are driven in with the heads sticking out and the boards are used over and over again. This tool is seen on every belt of every worker in this field. In the age before concrete these were used for breaking bricks in half as you mentioned, but before the bricks they were also used to split certain types of sandstone along the 'deposit side'. Layers of sand and clay would deposit and form stones, but when struck along the 'horizontal' side they split fairly neatly, creating a flat surface. Imagine it a bit like the rings on a tree but flat.
I love this sort of restoration, grandad would be proud!
Thank you :)
@@TechnicsFR you’re welcome!
WELL DONE!!!
I like how you just went with it. It turned out good. And all hand tools. Something alot of people have.
Thank you, Michael!
Well done....bravo
Thank you, Malij🙏
multi skilled restorer can weld...love the outcome of your project.
Thank you for your feedback :)
Very nice work. You restored the shape and temper but without making it too pretty to use. I am not a fan of scorching wood as it seems to make the surface brittle but it's your adze. Nice work!
Thank you :)
Agreed. I thought the work was beautiful up until you scorched the handle. But like what the other commenter said, it's your project.
Sorry for your loss my dude
We all go through this at some point, it's part of life, we must accept it!
Felicitări pentru răbdare.
Mulțumesc 🙏
Man, you should be proud of yourself. Bravo.
Thank you, Max :)

Самый распространенный в Средней Азии инструмент, по-узбекски теша. Отличная работа!
Спасибо :)
Не только у нас в Узбекистане на Турцию тоже есть озимизи теша 😁👍

Beautifully done !
Thank you, Zoltan :)
We use the same tool in Greece! Nice restoration!
Thank you! :)
Another great video! I have never seen a tool like this.
Haven't you seen really? Come to Turkiye then, lots of them))))
I was with you all the way up until you torched the handle. I think that makes the project look cheap. Allowing the handle to darken over time all by itself looks so much better to me. Thumbs Up for the metal work though. JMHO
Thank you for your feedback Gary, I torched it to get an ageing effect.. I agree with you that naturally ageing is better :)
Nah, I like the torching - you could’ve gone a bit heavier on that tbh to give it a real charred look then brushed out the softwood before putting on the linseed - get a nice textured feel. Good job btw
Nice work bro
Thank you!🙏

I was just thinking, there needs to be more adze restorations on KZhead. Too many axes and knives. Good job!
Maybe the trend starts here! Thank you :)
congratulations friend great job 🇧🇷 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you, Michael! :)
أنا مشترك جديد من العراق واحب اعمالك الرائعة
شكرا لك :)
@@TechnicsFR you are welcome
Looks good as new!
Thank you :)
Obvious that tool had a LOT of use on it. Glad you decided to refurbish and repair it back to usefulness. Looks great now. Not a fan of the flame burnt handle, but that is just me. Otherwise it looks great. Thumbs Up!
Thank you for your feedback, Gary!🙏
VERY well done!💯💯💯
Thank you, Chris :)
Nice work, hope to see more in the future and more techniques 👍
Thank you :)
I really liked the tanning technique, great effect. Great video buddy like as always 😊👍

I'm using vinegar to. It's cheap and harmless and even after 24 hours it gives good results. Good job
Thank you, yes the vinegar has removed the rust verry well, use it with confidence :)
Great work! Love it i enjoyed watching it

Thank you, Karina :)
Your work is beautiful! I only think there would have been one thing that would've really made it, I would've liked to see the nail puller fixed because it looks a bit loose.
Thank you! Yes, I should do more there😉
👍
Excelente
Thank you :)
Wow that turned out really nice. 🤩
Thank you!🙏
Nice work. So many people grind away mushroomed steel it is nice see someone add back what is missing. I'm not a fan of the burnt wood look but that's just a personal preference. You can make it look aged with heat without the burn marks if you use a heat gun and go slowly. I know that you used heat and oil to try to blue it but my concern is that unless you actually harden the steel you added, it will deform with use. Not going to do that to such a large piece unless you use a forge though. Of course, with it being a keepsake from your grandfather, you may just be intending to hang it on a wall in which case it doesn't matter.
Thank you, Scott for your feedback and nice words!🙏
Très beau travail bon courage
Merci beaucoup, Didaoui :)

well done
Thank you :)
Very nice...
Thank you :)
I have two suggestions; torch the handle before you mount the head, and cut a slot in the head end of the handle. Then drive a wedge into the slot to secure the head tighter.
This is not an axe to secure the handle with a wedge,it has a tapered end and when it gets loose to bang the end back in ,at one time it was sold with several handles. It's actually a carpenters ,concrete shutterer's hammer.
@@alleigator68 I use a wedge on each of my adzes so that they don't come loose.
Bravo , super bine !😃👍
Multumesc :)
Idk if you were just quickly going over the handle with a torch but, to achieve a better more even wood grain highlighting without the blotches (unless that's what you were going for) with a torch is to go slower and distance between torch and wood is everything (for darkness). Then it's just follow the burn. Otherwise pretty neat job ya did there!
Thank you for your feedback, Ben!
Fantastic 👏great job 👏
Thank you for your feedback :)
nice restoration👍
Thank you for your feedback :)
Very good The handle however seems a bit long for such a tool.
Thank you for your feedback! A long handle helps a lot to drive out the nails :)
All man I wanted you to keep The old handle! I thought it had a nice shape and would tell some history
Awesome!
Thank you :)
it was happy to be retired after all years of hard work, you made it work again. you are like capitalism.
Yarmud, I really laughed :)) Is the analogy of the year.. in fact I laugh even now when I write :))
très bien !
Merci, Henry :)
Very dramatic entrance!
High quality restoration ❤
Thank you :)
Foarte frumos. A ieșit perfect 👏👏👏👍👍
Multumesc, Romina :)
In Greek, skeparni (σκεπάρνι). Good job !!!!
Thank you, Andros :)
In Albanian sqepar.
Really good work😊
Thank you :)
great restoration. I'm sill not sure what the tool is used for - specifically - what it does that other tools can't do as well.
Thank you, Patrick! That's the point, it didn't have a specifically use.. there are different types of adze's. Some of them are used exclusively for wood carving but this type that I restored is most often used in construction, masonry.. to drive nails or take them out, to break bricks, for demolition, cutting pieces of plank etc :)
It’s a multi-tool, like fencing pliers, so you can carry fewer tools to the job site. There are other tools that could do the same job better perhaps, but a tool that could d9 several jobs well is awesome.
Gostei, ficou Bonito
Obrigado, Lhais :)
The end result looks great, and he did an amazing job with the restoration. But... I can't stand when people burn handles! I think it's taky, and it destroys the wood. Not a fan of burnt wood
Thank you for your feedback!
I like it..nicely done..;)
Thank you :)
Good video bro!I like the handle😀
Thank you :)
Très beau travail… je m’abonne !
Merci beacoup :)
Take this sub! Great restoration
Thank you :)
Super!Felicitari! 😊
Mulțumesc 🙂
I used to think that this tool called ''Adze'' was only used by carpenters and builders in my country. But I see that it is used in other countries as well.
I found out recently that is used in more countries :)
Blueing never went well but still good colour
Thank you :)

Not sure if it was just the type of rod that they were using, but those were some of the messiest welds I have ever seen.
I think you need a cat to keep you company. Thanks for time stamping.
I already have one :) Thank you for your feedback :)
Perhaps... You could ve gone for some sandblasting at specific areas... ☺
Yes, soon I will get a sandblaster :)
Great restoration ( new sub)
Thank you :)
Браво, само една малка забележка, за да кове добре една тесла и да не криви пироните, трябва на тила да има накатка.
благодаря, благодаря за съвета ;)
We call that a tesla in macedonia🇲🇰🇲🇰 good work man love it
Thank you :)
This is a very typical and traditional multitusk tool in Central Asia. It is used for gardening, cutting wood and pulling out nails. And it is called "TESHA". I was surprised to read comments that they have the same tool in the Balkans and it is called TESLA. I wonder if "tesha" and "tesla" have the same origin. Interesting!!! Actually we, in Cetral Asia, have a bigger version of this and it is called KETMON. It would be interesting if there was a same kind of object with a similar sounding name in the Balkans.
I don't know the history of this tool, but I'm sure it's interesting :)
In Greece the name of this tool is skeparni.
ALSO.....If you are going to make an adze out of it I would fill in the nail puller hole solid. AND...to heat treat (If thats whay you think you did) you need to heat (preferably,,,the cutting edge) to at least non-magnetic temp and then plunge it in oil
I liked, I subscribed! Nice work :)
Thank you :)
