I had some free time this morning so I decided to try my hand at restoring an axe head I had. I found it while pressure washing my shed. Must’ve left it there years ago.
It was extremely rusty, big chunks flaking off. I had some vinegar so I made an electrolysis setup to remove most of the rust overnight.
Before:
A very crude setup but surprisingly, it worked!
After:
From here I used an angle grinder with wire wheels, sanding discs and grinding wheels to clean it up
I’ll admit it was an amateur job but i can’t make it too nice...it’s gonna be used after all
Cleaned it and oiled it then hung it on a $15 hickory homedepot special
I’m gonna test it out on some firewood this weekend!
