  • What do you mean… to get rid of the handle. It’s perfect - for chopping around corners. 😂😂

  • I just finished an axe restoration myself and had to put a new handle in it. I removed the stain/clear from the new handle since it had runs and I could do better. I scraped it with a knife, cutting edge 90 degrees to the wood, to remove the bulk of the clear and save sandpaper, then I sanded it and added boiled linseed oil on it.

    • It's always worth it to restore a good quality axe, compared to buy a junk chinese axe from a hardware store. Wetterlings are sadly out of business. I always scout flea markets for old good quality Swedish or Danish (DSI, which went out of business around 2000) axes, either in usable condition at a price I can see myself paying, or as I did with the last one, found someone selling an old DSI 4 that needed a little tlc, she didn't know much about it, thus sold it to me for about what would be $12. Took the handle off, which was then scraped and sanded down, probably the original 30-40+ year old handle too, went over the head here and there, really good shape for it's age, poll hasn't been hammered too many times then it was ready, put it back on the handle, oiled it, sharpened the bit and its life is back, love it, quite short handle for the head, 4lbs and a mere 50-ish cm, but having looked at historical files it was like that when it was new. Also have some awesome old dsi hammers that I've never seen anything like before, kinda regular with nail puller but the design is so different, I think they're at least 60 years old.

  • Best way I found to remove the varnish off a handle is to use a sharp knife and lightly scrape it off. Wrangler star has a good video here on KZhead on it.

  • Nothing wrong with using a store bought/pre-manufactured handle. But I prefer to make my own from scratch. However if you have a mass produced handle with a varnish finish you'd like to remove. I recommend just scraping it off well with an old knife blade held at a 90° angle. Go down until you're scraping away a very thin layer of unvarnished wood. Then smooth to your desired smoothness using sandpaper. I like to use it alone in my hands but a block or power sander works too. If you have a makers mark that you like to use, then maybe wood burn it into the end of the handle. That's my technique and I like to date my handles too with at least the year. Then finish it off with a generous coating of boiled linseed oil once a day for a week. Then once a week for a month. Then once a month for a year, then once a year every year for as long as you own the axe (on the yearly creation date perhaps🤷‍♂️) Your handle should look and feel spectacular for decades.

  • So if you're going to grind it all down nice and shiny is there any point in wasting time scraping it and picking at it and putting it in rust remover? Couldn't you just wear a mask and grind as your first step? Also the same thing for the handle, why waste time using the remover, why not just sand it down? I'm not trying to be rude I'd really just like to know. Is there a point to these steps or are you just doing it for the video. I've refinished a few axes myself and if I'm going to shine it up, I just start with an abrasive wheel right away.
