I started this channel with the intention of being a mixed channel: restorations, experiments, DIY projects etc.. but the feedback was that restorations fit best.. so there it is, you have decided, this is a Restorations Channel! :)
You will see the most frequent tool restorations here, but there will be exceptions when I come across something that deserves a second chance! :)
In addition to restoration, there will be customization cases and I hope you like it! :)
I do my best to be better with every video I post! You can help and encourage me by Subscribing and do not hesitate to fill the comments section with criticisms ( if necessary :)) ) and recommendations! :)
Thank for your support and stay tuned.. awesome videos will keep coming! :)
I think I have a different version of this vise but it has no markings besides "100mm" and it has no removable ways. What is the brand? Is it LM? Or Stas?
It was a historically significant piece, because it had what seems to be a pretty cool field modification. There are more conservative methods that could have been used to preserve its value, however, these werent used and sadly due to this, the bayonet has lost most, if not all, of its value to collectors.
Ещё один изуродованный штык . Зачем точить лезвие ? Винты надо было купить и поставить оригинальные . Лезвие нарастить при помощи сварки и потом уже обточить в нужный размер а не тупо обрезать со всех сторон . В итоге ни размеров ни вида внешнего . Очередной нож для кухни . Если уж и беретесь восстанавливать вещь то сначала изучите оригинал .
Firstly I must say that you have great craftsmanship! I found it very cool that you made a new button completely, that was impressive. But I am not too sure if this can be a restoration I would say more of a modification or giving a destroyed item a new life. Of course the bayonet was in a really rough shape and was heavily modified in the first place, not much can be done about that. I must point out that the handle screws are not of the correct type, the bolts for them were also not the correct type. But you did a good job with what you had with a pretty much destroyed bayonet! Don't let those German boot lickers upset you claiming you destroyed it :D
Thank you, Jakub! Yes it can but it doesn't affect very much in that area, on the tip it may be a real problem. I have use it for a year since then and yet no need for resharpening ;)
