The video is a step-by-step guide on how to restore an old, rusty German hatchet. The process begins with the removal of the handle and the use of a drill with a wire brush to remove the rust. The video then demonstrates how to hit the hatchet with a hammer to correct any deformation. The handle is then crafted from an Oak board, and a brass plate is used to create an overlay. The handle and blade are then glued together using epoxy resin. The final result is a high-quality, reliable cleaver.
