Axe restauration manual

[Thijzzz]

Hi all,

I've written a detailed blogpost in English and Dutch about an axe restauration project with lots of pics here:

I've explained things like rust removal, cleaning the head, making the handle to size and fitting it, reprofiling and sharpening. As said, there's lots of pics!

We go from this...

...to this!

So have a look and let me know what you think.



PS: Mods, it easier to post a link to my blog than to copy the whole article and pics.

Nice one buddy very informative!

Nice!
I hope to stumble upon a kent-pattern someday here, but they are not often seen in Holland.

@Gill: thanks! Giving back to BCUK as well, since they helped me identify the axe and the company.

@Two Socks: Yeah, I was surprised as well!
