I've never done that. Copper dragon on an old axe. Restoration.

Video Description

Hi!!! In this video, I tried to make an old axe, an axe with a copper dragon. How did I manage to restore an old axe? Hello everyone This time I want to remake the old axe into an axe stylized with a copper dragon, which can be used, as in the old days, to chop and destroy ...))) After tinkering with it, I got a good converted axe with a beautiful drawn pattern with dragons, I also added a pattern to the Scandinavian motif of the axe. How do you like my work? I took an old 1956 axe as the basis for my new axe, the axe was in good condition, but I didn't like its geometry, which I had to align. To this axe I decided to betray the form of the Old Russian axe of the period of the 12th-13th century, which I did. Cut off unnecessary metal. Cleaned and sanded. When the blank was prepared, I decided to put an image on it on the theme of dragons. After electrochemical etching of the drawing, I blackened the metal by the blackening method. After that, I made the copper plating of the drawing. When these works were completed, it was left to grind with fine-grained sandpaper and polish the restored axe. 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.
