Making a commemorative ax

Buy a mug: Making an exclusive ax. Drawing on an ax by electrochemical etching. Ax of 1989 release. The ax is a gift in honor of the SaddleSore 1000 standard. The route of the motorcycle trip passed through the territory of Ukraine. In honor of this trip, a hiking commemorative ax was made, which the person will use in his future travels. Everything shown in the video is not a role model. 00:25 - Grinding the ax. 01:35 - I paint the ax with an aerosol alkyd primer (paint). The paint protects the metal from etching. 02:07 - Film (lavsan tracing paper) with a picture. The drawing was made with a simple pencil, on the matte surface of the film. 02:42 - I apply the film to the ax, pattern down. Pressing on the back of the film with a pencil, I reprint the drawing on the ax. 03:31 - With a sharp metal needle with a pen, I clean off the paint in the places where the metal should be corroded. 04:13 - I add water and salt to the brine. I stir it. The solution is dark in color because it has been used before. This solution is reusable. 04:36 - I glue all the corners of the ax. In these places, the layer of paint is the thinnest, and it must be additionally protected. I use a paper medical plaster. 05:07 - Copper plate. 05:43 - I put the current regulator at 20 amperes. 05:52 - Etching of the metal takes place in a water-salt solution for 15 minutes. Time to drink coffee. Buy a mug: 07:50 - I wash the ax with clean water. 08:17 - Partially peeling off the paint from the ax. 08:43 - Etching the background of the picture. Etching takes place with a 25 volt device. I do this so that the background of the picture is different. 09:24 - My ax is in the water. 09:33 - I remove paint residues from the ax. I use a solvent. 09:52 - Special liquid for cold blackening of metal. The black color will fill in all the indentations on the surface of the metal, and the pattern will look contrasting. 10:04 - I sand the metal surface with P800 sandpaper. 10:19 - Grinding the handle with P100 sandpaper. 10:29 - Special alcohol-based wood dye. I paint the handle. 10:56 - Smearing wood with impregnation. The impregnation contains linseed oil. This will protect the wood from moisture. 11:24 - I lubricate the metal with machine oil. This will protect the metal from oxidation.
