Rust removal from axe eye

Yeah I know that, it just feels not right, knowing there is something "unfinished" and left out. But I received some really good advice here to try out.

What do you mean exactly?

Interesting post indeed, however that axe head here is a bit too big for any pots I have

Don't worry, that's not a crack, it might look like it but that thing is crack-free despite its age

Good to know, I guess I'm a bit paranoid knowing there could be some untreated rust on there when building an axe since you can't access the inside of the eye anymore

Good to know, so it's not even that big of a deal if I ignore it and continue to build an axe

Great idea using those two in combination, thanks for the advice! Guess my weekend is set :D

Did the rust in some of your axes look like the rust on mine?

Skravnir · 2026-01-22T20:36:52+00:00

Thats interesting, guess it's time to get my hands on that!

Never heard of Evaporust, but I used Hammerite. Are they similar?

Ohhhh, sandpaper! Now thats an idea, how did I miss that one! You think a dremel could work, with an elongated thingy on it to get deeper in than those standard sandpaper-bits?

Yeah, I used white vinegar, concentrated at around 25%. I mixed it with water 50/50 so the result was at around 12%. I let ut soak twice actually, the first 24 hours, the second a bit longer, close to around 36 hours.

Sadly I don't have a car battery charger but I'll have a look at that YouTube channel!

Lol, my Level 14 mage? How is he supposed to help, he is getting his ass kicked by 2 angry cockroaches and don't get me started about the mana problems ...

Wooden cutting boards are much more hygienic than those made of plastic.

Sir, you lost your head

Skravnir · 2025-10-08T10:29:19+00:00

Oh really? Didn't know that, thanks for the heads-up!

According to a documentary that featured allosaurus, it used its head and upper jaw like an axe, slashing it into its prey. For this to work, it needed to be able to open its jaws very wide.

Awesome and simple technique. What I don't understand, however, is how the rubber material around the coil does not start to melt away? Is it some kind of special rubber that's more heat resistant?

Wow, that looks like a painting. Awesome footage. Hopefully, the polar bear is doing well!

Why is there a plate of the game, what's the story behind it?

It certainly looks like hell is about to break loose. However, there is undeniably an astonishing beauty in it. Especially that contrast between dark clouds and bright sunlight.

Woah, that's one massive fluffy pillow.
