Hey guys! Recently I bought this small hatchet (picture below) at an antique shop for $4. The hatchet was rusted over and I thought it would be a nice project to make brand new and useable.
I begain by taking most of the rust off with my benchtop sander with 80 grit. After that, I grabbed a couple of files to get in the corners the disc sander couldn't get too. I then put some higher sandpaper on and polished and shappened the blade. I then begain to buff out the hatchet with a polishing compound. Then I started making the handel out of scrap popler I had. Its a pretty simple handel and then I glued the hatchet head to the handel with gorila glue.
I think it came out great!
I also made a video on my YouTube channel if you wanted to follow along that way
Thanks for checking it out!
