The speaker, Luke, is a YouTuber who runs an outdoor Boise YouTube channel. In this video, he is participating in an axe restoration challenge, aiming to restore an axe within an hour. He starts by choosing an axe with a damaged handle, which he plans to restore.
Luke begins by cleaning his workbench and inspecting the axe. He identifies the axe as a craftsman's hatchet, with a handle that is cracked but still in good shape. The axe head is in good condition, but the handle has some damage, including a few nails and wedges.
Luke then proceeds to remove the nails from the handle. After that, he applies naval jelly to the axe head to remove rust. While the jelly is working, he starts working on the handle. He cuts off the damaged part of the handle and shaves it down to get rid of the damage.
After about 15 minutes, he checks the axe head and finds that the naval jelly has done its job. He then makes a wedge while waiting for the axe head to dry. After about 15 minutes of work on the naval jelly, he finds that the handle is looking good.
Luke then proceeds to fit the axe head onto the handle. He finds that the fit is tight, but the axe head does not fit well due to the tight fit. He then attempts to grind down the edge and bevel it, but this takes a significant amount of time.
Despite the tight fit and the time it took, Luke completes the restoration of the axe within an hour and 17 minutes. He mentions that he would have liked to polish the axe more and sand the handle more, but he did not have enough time. He concludes by expressing his hope that viewers will enjoy the video and encourages them to comment on the next axe they want him to restore.
