Restoration Rusty Old Billhook
Hello folks! Today I want to show you my new restoration project. My friend, he asked me to restore an old rusty billhook, which he found in his garage. It's garden tool. The task was to etch the working surface of the tool, sharpen it, make a comfortable and massive handle for his hand and necessarily with a hole for the lanyard. Well, let's start the restoration.
As usual, my most "favorite" way is to remove rust, wash, dry and wipe with oil. Next, using a wire cup brush, I cleaned the surface and proceed to the adjustment of the cutting edge and further sharpening. After that, I etched the blade in an acid solution.
Next, washing the blade with detergent for dishes, drying and lubricating with oil.
I decided to turn it on a wood lathe. During landing, the handle cracked, although the tree is a strong beech. The second attempt also ended with a crack in the handle. The third time, I chose another option. Cut out a groove for the tang, epoxy resin with sawdust and riveted.
After processing the handle, I did a test for you as usual. I hope, you will enjoy this restoration video.
Sincerely, Alex. Thanks for attention!
Good luck and health to everyone! With best wishes, Alex!
