Luke from the Outdoor Boys YouTube channel restores a Slovenian bearded axe without using power tools. He soaks the rusted axe head in vinegar for several days and then scrubs it with a wire brush to remove the rust. The handle is made from salvaged oak and shaped by hand. He heats the axe head to blue it and then dips it in oil to prevent rusting. The finished product looks weathered and has an old-timey patina. He tests it by chopping wood at the testing tree.
