Hello folks! Today I want to show you my new machete restoration project. I found this rusty machete at a flea market. Probably, it was made at the factory when. The steel is good, but the work is rough and there is no balance in the machete. Well, let's start the restoration.

As usual I used rust remover liquid, washed and dried it. Then I cleaned the surface of the machete via sanding machine. After I used files to correct the contours of machete. Via beltgrinder machine, I made bevels, and then I used sandpaper to polish the cutting edge.
After all correction, I polished bit the surface of the machete and started to make the handle. For the wood handle, I chose a very strong and dry piece of redwood. For rivets, I used brass and aluminum. For wood handle impregnation I used handmade wax. Also, I made a leather machete sheath and as usual made an interesting test for you in the wood. I hope, you will enjoy this restoration video.
Sincerely, Alex. Thanks for attention!
Good luck and health to everyone! With best wishes, Alex!
