This sword was made of a propeller blade. Apparently, he lay in the ground for a long time, and now needs to be restored. Using the experience of restoration of this sword, you can restore other metal products.
First of all, it is necessary to clean the surface of the sword from a layer of dirt and rust. And for this, the author first uses a brush for metal, and then processes the metal with an angle grinder.
After mechanical abrasive cleaning, the master marks and makes new descents of the blade, and they will be slightly wider than previous descents. A similar operation is performed on the back of the sword.
The main stages of work
It will also be necessary to once again well grind the entire surface of the blade with a grinder, including removable sword elements. Through-hole parts need to be drilled through holes to secure them back. The master uses steel rivets as fasteners.
Another mandatory procedure is the hardening of the blade (cutting edge). Since the dimensions of the sword are quite large, the master has to temper steel in several stages, heating individual parts of the blade with a burner and immersing them in a container with oil.
At the last stage of the work, it remains only to cut out the wooden handle from the bar, put it on the "shank" of the sword and bring it to mind.
Details about how the restoration of an old rusty sword of large sizes takes place can be found in the video on the website.
