An axe with an octopus. 2 months of work. Drawing on metal. Simple technology from a rusty axe

Video Description

Hello!!! In this video I tried to make a new good ax without forging from a damaged old ax using an octopus - devilfish pattern on the metal. How did I manage to restore the old ax? Hi all. This time I want to restore an old rusty ax into a new ax with an octopus’s design on the metal. After working with this ax for 2 months, I got a good ax with a reinforced cutting edge made from a car spring. The complex pattern on the metal gives the ax exclusivity. I wonder how much such an ax could cost? How do you like my work? I used an old ax as the basis for the new axe, the ax was in poor condition, the mark was damaged by rust, and I could not read it. The cutting edge was completely worn out, which had to be cut off during the work, strengthened with carbon metal from a car spring and hardened in a homemade forge by heating it and lowering it into water. Next, I decided to give this ax the shape that I came up with myself. What I've done? Cut off unnecessary metal. Cleaned and sanded. When the blank was prepared, I decided to put on it an image on the theme of an octopus in the depths of the ocean. After electrochemical etching of the metal, I blackened the axe. When the old ax was completely ready, I decided to decorate it with paints. I was pleased with the result of this work and I hope you liked it too. 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. Thank you! #howtodraw #engraving #drawing #metaletching #howtomake
