Congratulations on showing how to take rare old things and destrouying the value to the piont of losing money even if you got if for free/ found it in a dumpster.... Everything in this video takes away any aging and "makes it like new", which will make EVERY true collector shy away from you and tell everyone they know to NEVER buy anything from you. A true collector wants a "restored" piece to "show its age" and be functional, and NOT have it look like new.
This is a hand forged item... makes no sense to remove all of the hand forged aspects of it (imperfect shape). Then there's the cutting edge, which would have benefitted from being reshaped -- looks awful. The finish should be oil/patina, not paint. Over all, nonsense, and defaced a nice old item.
That’s really 100% messed up!!!!!! 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️ this video is not the right way to clean all parts and no protection from rust coming back!? That’s really 100% messed up!!!!!! 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Un peut déçu du résultat je m'attendais à ce qu'il s'appelle lui même avec ce téléphone ou alors qu'il appelle ce téléphone ensuite pour prouver totalement qu'il refonctionne
Man... It's a good thing I watched this video... Now I know what to do, the next time I find a telephone buried in mud... because that happens every day. Also - if this phone is "centuries old," I'll eat my hat.
LOL this phone isn't a century old. do you even know what a century is? It's 100 years. 100 year old landline phones do not look like this and are not made of modern plastic. Clearly this is a low-effort crap video. $50 says you wiped the phone with mud only to scrape it off when it dried for an easy video to get all the views.
Wonderful job you did restoring the sheep hair trimmer. It looks much better and it works like a charm too. Excellent work on this and all the other restorations I have seen.
C'mon I didn't fall off the truck last night. Back in 1924 I believe you were asking Bessie to connect you with 2345. Certainly, no push button sets. Give us all a break.
The thing is nobody can tell you how to do a restoration right because there is no right way and this is his knife. That being said I would have kept the tang width of this blade and preferred the full tang look. Assuming you still change the shape of the blade to a clip point with the half circle cut out in back, I would have kept the height of the cleaver there’s no reason to make it shorter it’s just wasting metal and making a smaller lighter blade. Also when you drilled your hole it wasn’t straight and for other reasons you see the tang isn’t in the middle of the handle at the end. All in all though for changing the blade and making it lighter and not as sturdy you did good and one thing I will say is you put good bevels on your knife which is hard especially freehand on a bench grinder. Keep growing and posting more restorations we need more makers, artists and, artisans
