Seems like a lot of effort when Amazon will ship one to your door for twenty bucks or so.
Just because you can doesn't mean you should. |

Like the 'hand' axe. The Hammer, not so much. Looks heavy & wouldn't pass an impact test by U-No-Hoo on FIF. Shoulda properly heat treated everything.
Resurrecting the relic (junk) rust thing (which didn't look like an 'antique weapon'), and repurposing it was OK, not my style tho. |

Now it is not a tool, not a weapon, and not well done.
The fit of the handle into the eye seemed really sloppy. I think if it ever was used it would slip off. |

Whenever I see one of these "restoration" it makes me cringe, even if it is an obviously modern or junk item. I worry about how many people with actual valuable antiques in their attic will take to belt sanding down their inherited patinated 16th century broadswords and rapiers in an attempt to make them look shiny again.
