we had the same thing in the workshop, but it was younger than 1945. we kids used it to build our tree house.
👍🏼😎
All I can say to those who would critique what this person did to restore this tool is find one like it and restore it on YT then everyone else can view your finished product and critique it.
Well said 😎👍🏼
I've seen a thousand listings for that type hatchet and most people claim it's WW2 vintage. I'd strongly doubt that. If it were made in Germany during WW2 it would probably not say "Germany" it would say "Deutschland" and/or be marked with a Reich Eagle. I think it's more likely it's a Crate Hatchet from just after the war (1950's) made for export. It's a neat, interesting piece though, and you did a nice job with it. Cheers Mate
Probably so, wish I could find out more information about it
I, german, also think, this tool was made after wwll. Not only the ,Germany' , it is also DGM ( Deutsches Gebrauchsmuster/ ,small patent'), in case oft being produced before 1945, there would be DRGM ( Deutsches Reichsgebrauchsmuster).
I have a real German luger carbine with the original leather satchel from WWII. It was my uncle's and he was in the German army in WWII
@@staggdegraaff1531 : Do you mean an ,Artilleriemodel' with 20 cm barrel and an wooden board to be used as stock? Real Karabiner versions of Lugerpistol being really a carbine had been only produced in small numbers before wwl for civilian market, and some experimental pistolcarbines during wwl, before production of MP 18 (I).
Very nice job and I love the handle!
Like the hatchet and the handle choice was the right one
Thank you 😊
I like the spalted maple look
Thank you 😌
I’m a plasterer. When I was training, I was issued with a very similar tool to this ( called a lath hammer) I used it all the time. My mate, a time served joiner, just couldn’t get used to it. 🔨⚒
Yes, I've done another video on a lath/shingle hammer 😎
Always amazed at how a little time and effort can bring new life into an old often discarded tool
👍🏼😎
Just love that handle! Wow! First time finding your channel and I just love the dogs and the restoration! 😲😁
Thank you 😌
Nice job and nice choice of maple for handles. You have nice choices of woods to choose from.
Thank you ☺️
I love the wood choice
Thank you ☺️
Great job on those scales 🛠️👍😊
Thank you 😊
I for one like the scales, the choice of wood is great, the spalting adds to it. Brilliant job, excellent fit up etc. Thumbs up and Subscribed.
Thank you ☺️
Great job! The spalted maple handles look really nice. I want to see more like this. 😃👍🏼
Thank you 😌
Good sir, where have you been hiding? I can't be the only one who enjoys watching your videos and wondering where you've gone off to! I hope all is well in Texas!
Great job! I enjoyed watching! Thank you!
Thank you 😊
Awesome tool excellent finish
Thank you 😊
Seriously. Great job on this.
Thank you ☺️
Fascinating. I inherited one of these hatchets from my father, who bought it in Johannesburg, South Africa during the 50's. It came with an antler handled knife marked "Solingen" in a leather sheath. Must have been intended for camping. This has inspired me to restore both.
Bloody brilliant fitting of those handles, and I love the choice of wood. Well done. Bravo! Those tools are so comfortable in the hands. They feel like an extension of your arm that you never knew you were missing. At least, that's how they feel to me. By far my favorite tool handle.
Thank you 😊
Lovely little tool. Great job!
I have one just like that. Given to me by my grandmother in 1960
Awesome 😎
Very good restoration.
Thank you 😊
Bubby i well give you a A i like the wood man like your work keep it up 😎😎😎😎😎😎
Thank you so much 😎
Looks great!
Thank you John !
Bought some tools yesterday, something very much like this was in the box i got.. Thanks for the upload,got some ideas
Great job! Those handles are tricky! The spalted wood looks good!
Thank you Magdad!
Beautiful job.
Thank you 😊
NICE FIX ON A USEFUL TOOL GOD BLESS
Thank you ☺️
The handle is gorgeous, a great job overall. Love your pups!
Thank you 😊
Great job 👏 👍
Thank you 😊
Sand the paint off the lettering to make it pop or paint the letters white.
👍🏼
Nice. And the wood choice was spot on.
Thank you 😊
Beautiful that’s a cool tool
Thank you 😊
Nice piece
Thank you 😊
Good choice, spalted maple.
Thank you ☺️
Nice job.. the wood grips look very good and realistic, as Mahogany was very scarce in WW2 Germany. As a tool, it is a useful axe for a back packer / stealth camper. Nail puller, screw driver, hammer & axe all in one.
Thank you 😊
Great job on restoring this multi tool. Cool looking scales. Would have liked to see you use a two tone paint scheme to make the tool lettering stand out.
Thank you!
Nice restoration, beautiful dogs and interesting their nicknames 🙂
Thank you 😊
Love everything about this. The handle looks great. Fantastic job!
Thank you 😊
Belle restauration, bravo.
Thank you 😌
Very nice work
Thank you 😊
Superb. Love the wood for the handle. You did a super job 👌. All the best from Shropshire 🤘
Aces mate yes more please have a day love from TEXAS
👍🏼😎
Spalted maple produces some of the best looking scales out there. Nice job.
Yes it does and thank you
I had one of these exact tool I found at a garage sale years ago. It was in very very good shape- nearly new looking. Some scum bag took it when my truck was stolen. I had it in a kinda old emergency pack I kept in my tool box.
I hate tool thief's!
Greetings buddy! Great job, cool tool, nice handle, like 👍
Thank you 😌
I like the wood
I do too!
I think it looks GREAT !! I really like the handles very nice work !! Cool little hatchet interesting find !!! 👍👍

I think so too 😎
All them big babies!

Thank you 😊
Love the outcome including the handle.
Thank you 😊
Yeah, nice job.
Thank you 😌
That's a nice wood you chose for the handles. Great job!
Thank you ☺️
Really good job! It turns out beautiful and gorgeous. You are a genius
Thank you 😊
This is the 2nd video of yours if seen. Now I’m a subscriber. You do good work.
Great tool, great handle, great restoration
Thank you ☺️
Really Nice Job Man!!
No doubt a good job, my preference would be gun blue, less chance of flashing over. Polished bare tools seem to always need a coating of oil on them.
Fair point!
Overall great job keep up the good work
Thank you 😊
Great job! The spalted handles look amazing! I might have zipped off the slotted screwdriver on the end of the handle and rounded it off. I think it looks out of place, but maybe that's just me.
Thank you 😊
You do some great work man. I just found your channel. Keep it up!
Thank you 😊
Awesome job all around, gorgeous axe.
Thank you 😊
Like the metal finish but would have chosen the red wood for the handle, only after trying to restore the originals first.
I'll be using the redwood in a future video 😎
good job
Thank you 😊
I like it, it looks good.
Thank you 😊
Definitely A for effort, handles look great 👍
Thank you 😌
Handle is nice that fit was a tough one enjoyed watching.
Thank you Logan 😎
i like the scales
Beautiful looking novelty tool, belongs on a shelf. It seems to small to be of practical use, but you sure made it look good. I thought you would do light sanding on the lettering to make them stand out better. Thanks for sharing. 😁👍🇨🇱🇺🇸
Thank you 😌
Good job, I restored the same tool, but it was made in the GDR.
Nice
While there were a couple of things I might have done differently; overall, great job! Looks really nice.
Thank you ☺️
looks good to me.
Thank you ☺️
Wow I want it
👍🏼
holaaaaaaaaaaaa excelente video está Genial muy bueno 🤜🤛👍👏
Thank you 😌

Nice job…
I'm wondering why almost everyone who restores these perfect handle tools epoxies the scales on instead of doing it the way it was done originally - peened pins. I have only restored one perfect handle screwdriver so far and I couldn't bring myself to epoxy things together. I wanted to do it the original way, so I used brass rod and peened the ends.
Epoxy seals the wood and prevents water damage
@@FixitRestoreit But you only epoxy the inside of the scale. Isn't it easy enough to seal the wood without epoxy. I like the fact that if it's done properly (no epoxy), the next person can take it apart easily like we did if they want/need to. I'd hate to be trying to take one apart that had been epoxy'ed together. I'm not trying to put you down here, just stating my opinion. Other opinions will probably differ.
@@russg1451 I tend to agree with you on all counts. I however would add a couple of things. It didn't seem to me that the original wood was in that bad of condition that it couldn't have been repaired and reused witch in my opinion would be preferable not to mention if you're going to use epoxy don't use so much.
@@FixitRestoreit so does beeswax, and I far cheaper and much more sustainable produced without adding further pollution to the environment. Like I’m not saying NEVER use epoxy because it’s bad. I just don’t like it when people use it literally for EVERY single project. In my mind it’s a cheat. You’re usually a chemical to make things shiny instantly versus having to put real time effort and elbow grease into adding MULTIPLE coats of wax snd buffing it. A properly sealed handle from beeswax will remain water proof for years. And literally if it ever starts to degrade just give it a good sand and ad some new layers of wax.
mate it's your restoration I am fine with it if you decide pink and green
👍🏼
HEY GOOGLE, more junk in my queue today, please.
It's nice junk 😎
its fine
Fantastic job on those scales I love me a perfect handle but have never attempted new scales. What was that one you used for infilling. Thanks fir an excellent video
The spalted maple is bitchin'. I'd have gone with a muted, painted finish otherwise, but that's usually just my preference with this sort of thing. Cheers.
Thank you 😌
Gun blueing would look good!!!!
Probably would 😎
It was a great job, but as you used epoxy you could have used the original wooden handles glued together.
Good point, but what you couldn't see in the video was that the pins were drilled at an angle and the wood was dimpled on the surface
It's definitely a unique tool. I've never seen another hatchet quite like this and I have to wonder about its original purpose. Also I love the handle. The wood has a really unique grain to it...what kind of wood is is?
It's Spalted maple
yes your right at least yo've made the edffort
I really liked it. The wood was different but I don't like always being the same as everyone. I think it looks good. Never heard of the wood. What kind of Tree? Thanks
Spalted or spalting is where a fungus (the black lines) work their way into a host wood, in this case maple 😎
Beautiful wood and finish to Match. What was the hammer used for?
Not a whole lot, it's really light 🤷🏻♂️
This is weird. Last night I found a screw driver that could either be that tools sister, or my granddad turned one of those into a screw driver. I didn't say anything, take any pictures, or search for anything online. Still, this was the first suggested video when I opened KZhead. It's creepy af.
Neat lol!
A WWII German artifact would never say Germany on it, that is only on items for export to english speaking countries, the Royal Navy prevented any exports 1939-45; these wre made from the mid 1880s onwards tehe clue is the DGM NR 5664-87
I'm going to have to do more research
Where do you find all this neat stuff...... ?
At auctions - sometimes they sell a whole box full for $5 - most are trash but you find the odd gem 😎
Done a good job but I think you shudda went darker with the handle.
👍🏼
