A friend said it wouldn't work. Restoration of an old axe in the old style

Video Description

Hi!!! In this video I tried to make an old axe, an axe in the old style. How did I manage to restore an old axe? Hello everyone This time I want to remake an old axe into an axe, stylized in the old style with an ornament of the Maya people. After tinkering with it, I got a good converted axe with a beautiful traced pattern with an ornament in the form of an unknown animal, I also added the head of a mythical animal to the of the axe. How do you like my work? I took an old axe, presumably from 1967, as the basis for my new axe, the axe was in poor condition, the cutting part was completely worn off, which I had to re-harden in the work. To this axe I decided to betray the form that I came up with myself. What did I do? Cut off unnecessary metal. Cleaned and sanded. He made the hardening of the axe by heating and lowering it into water. When the blank was prepared, I decided to put on it an image on the theme of the Maya civilization in the form of an ornament in a modern style. After electrochemical etching of the drawing, I blackened the metal by the blackening method. Also, when the old axe was completely ready, I decided to decorate the axe with paints. I was satisfied with the result of this work and I hope you also liked it. I used the following tools and materials: pencil, ruler, awl, angle grinder, drill, grinder, orbital grinder, sandpaper, toothbrush, soda, solvent. SUPPORT THE AUTHOR: Friends!

Gloves, mask, glasses, good exhaust, etc. Even a small amount of electricity requires proper handling. Any chemical reactions, even salt with electricity require precautions, each metal has its own different properties and reaction to chemical processes - this must be understood and taken into account. It is important not to forget about safety precautions when working. Study and follow safety precautions. Take care of yourself. What you see is just a flight of creative imagination, my hobby, and not an instruction manual.
