Acquired an old beat up rusted axe , handle was completely rotten and the blade was really chipped and coated with layers of rust.  
Wire brush and 20 mins of wire wool removed the excess , then sanded it back , took off all the sharp bent over steel edges .
Gave it a quick buff on the polishing wheel then re ground the edge on the bench grinder. 
Seriously sharp and a good strong edge. 

Now i need to wait for my new ash handle to season and then i can fit the head.
