I love the blade and the handle!! The etching and coloring of the blade was very interesting and melting plastic for the handle was incredibly resourceful!! Bravo!!!
Recycling is always brilliant and and is always the right thing to do. I did not mean any disrespect by my comment I'm sorry if it upset you. What I meant by that was I've seen you make prettier handles out of wood and that it would have been a better handle when you use the recycled plastic it just did not have a good look for that blade but like I said you did a wonderful job over all restoring that cleaver your work and always brilliant and is nice and pleasant to watch it was just my own opinion and I just thought personally that the handle wasn't all that pretty but it was brilliant and a very cool thing to do sorry about any disrespect that you might have interpreted for my original message love your content keep it coming your long time subscriber Ashley
@@ashleyhall1061 oh, I'm not the OP and you are certainly welcome to your opinion and you certainly didn't offend or hurt my feelings. We can like different things and have different preferences and still be friendly. 😊
@RESTORATION CIRCLE You did a great job for what tools u have at you're disposal. And don't take to much criticism from some one who calls a meat cleaver a machete. I like that you are always improving slowly but surely and one day u can come back to your earlier restoration. When u get better tools and Machines and do more improvements. All things considered u did great for what little tools u are working with. I enjoy the fact you're putting so much hard work in your project's!
Thanks so much for the encouragement, and I will do my best to improve my work. In fact, work only gets better when I encourage someone else to work, And when people like big channel videos and dislike small channel ones,This makes it very difficult to group them. ❤
Love the written commentary I often watch restoration vids, late a night while the lady of the house is sleeping, so always with super low volume, hence why i really like the commentary!! Cool vid and nice jokes !!
I love watching you work. using simple tools and methods you do some wonderful restorations. Thank you for all your time in doing the restorations and the video work
LMAO glad you have a since of humor like a machinist. Sipping the rusty water made me smile. We had do not drink not Kool-Aid on the blue coolmist barrel .
Nice job, reusing the plastic to form the handle is a great idea, I feel like that could be done more often. If you allow a little bit of criticism: when glueing the handle you should wipe off the excess, it looks like some of it sticks to the blade at the front part of the handle. No big deal, but if you wipe it off right away you save yourself from cleaning it later and get a better result. 😉 That put aside the result is great, not what you would expect from the rusty piece it was in the beginning
You have every right to criticize,I'm glad you told me my mistake So that I can fix it in the future. Thank you very much for spending your precious time watching this video I hope you will see my future videos also.❤
Really nice work on the blade Sir ! But as much time that sent on that cheap looking plastic handle ?? Liked the shape ! Me personally would have used some curly maple mahogany and cherry wood with some brass pins would've made that look really classy ! Nice way to recycle plastic ! Each to there own !
Man I am in bed watching this as asmr to go to sleep to and halfway thru my man busts out with the disco breakdown while you melt plastic like its that crayola crayon episode of Mr Rogers.
Never watched this sort of restoration before its usually just furniture BUT it came up as a suggestion by RU-vid and I thought what the heck will take a look. I enjoyed the process on the actual Cleaver (and the humour) but what won my subscription is the idea of recycling the plastic to make the handle. Not a 100% sure it suits the Cleaver but i loved the actual handle and the innovative idea.
Great job. This stuff does require a bit of work to find . I've restored at least 10 differenint axes also mauls , sledge hammer , forging hammers and various types of knives. My main thing is making/forging knives. I've learned a bit from this video. Especially your darkening techniques. Keep up the good work. Subscribed....I should have put this comment on your opening comment. Too much work now and this just got me motivated to work on a double bit axe head I recently dug up. I've scrubbed it a few times off and on it been sitting in vinegar a few days. It does a good job , but I need to check into getting one of those electo gadgets like you have.
I love the blade work, but I've spent too much time with cheap, plastic handled pocket knives to appreciate the handle. The process of repurposing the plastic was very nice though. I hope you were wearing breathing protection - those fumes are no good.
This is the first time I see one of your videos and instantly subscribed. It has been a very entertaining video with a great result. Thanks for that. I was worried at one point because of the plastic melting and the gases. Hope you didn´t breath in too much of it. There´s another thing I liked about the video. I watch restorations A LOT and they always have the fanciest machines and what not. Something I could never afford having. You didn´t use a sand blaster, laser cleaning, warp core engineering and so on.. still had a great outcome. Just pure, simple entertainment. Thanks for that :)
I agree the handle is the only issue but I dont think the material is necessarily it. It's to bulky... and you should be able to see the tang and rivets other than that it looks good
Primeira vez que eu vi reciclarem um cabo usando plástico derretido. Muito criativo, gostei demais. Seria interessante considerar reciclar outros tipos de materiais também
Ravi eu também achei interessante. Sou cuteleiro hobista e vou tentar. Porém , vou derreter as tampinhas em um tacho de disco de arado em um fogão a lenha.
Lots of works and processing involved with this restoration but it works and good job 👍. I subscribed and liked your RU-vid channel to support your excellent project.
I love the craftsmanship and the attention to detail the one thing I don't like is the handle I would have preferred a nice wood grain handle for this cleaver
Not the choice of handle I would of used. And it looked so much better polished up, and you must of worked so hard on it. But it's functional and will last a few more years I bet. Well done mate.
I've never seen a so awful and dirty restoration... Omg this handle 😭 Why did you burn plastic? Have you ever heard about pollution? The wooden handle was so pretty 😒
wait come on burning plastic and pollution really maybe you should check where your electric comes from because there is a good chance it's being made at a trash burner where they burn everything from lead to tires to everything and one more thing they are built next to rivers so the water is even polluted so before getting on to this guy about dumb shit and if your so worried about pollution go after the big company's or keep quiet
If your looking for more projects, I suggest your vise, grinding wheel, wire brush grinder and the electric power generator. They all look like they could use a touch up.
I've never seen coffee etching before. Very interesting. I am concerned about you breathing in that burning plastic. That is a huge carcinogen very dangerous to breath in.
@Aaron Rodgers thus my concern instead of going off. But your statement is a two-edged sword. How do you know he didn't?...so untwist your panties and calm down.
@@Synathe Regardless of the fact, your socratic questioning/ad hominem doesn’t further your point. My statement stems from me simply choosing to give him the benefit of the doubt. I think it’s also worth to mention he melted the plastic as opposed burning it, there’s no significant harm there. Buddy not all replies on RU-vid are direct attacks, I’m very much calm, are you? Relax a bit…
@@aaronrodgers5852 When you use terms like "socratic" and "ad hominem" it would serve you well not to use non-words like "irregardless." I do side with your argument, however. 8-)
Very nice. Only got one thing to mention, and that is when removing and replacing the pins he used a panel beaters hammer. My old instructor would have a fit if he was still here.
@@KayAteChef I don't really know what being at home has to do with it, also I am getting a vibe from you, ? If you want a, how high can you piss contest, please do go ahead. Quick explanation for you, There are quite a few panel beating hammers, with different , shapes/sizes/ some with crossed hatch, some with a crown for planishing, some completely flat and polished to high standards, each has specific roll to play, I hope you are at home reading this post, the hammer that he is fucking up should be used as a planishing and has to be kept clear of any marks ie nail, pin, if the nice shiny head is damaged, any strikes onto the panel will replicate its self, just in case you went out today, planishing is smoothing the panel, so that is why. If you think that it's all bollocks, a shrinking hammer head it is criss-cross, and will help the metal not to stretch, Try looking for Sickes-Pickavant panel beating tools probably the best. Well hopefully you stayed at home to read this, or have I just wasted 15mins of my life Thanks
@@royhorwood2663 Thank you very much. I did google the hammer when I initially saw your comment and I could see that it was not really the shape I was expecting. I was expecting a ball peen hammer. Now that you explain it to me, I see that the flat face of the hammer will be deformed and ruined. Thanks. I learned something. And I learned it from home. No vibe, by the way. Just meant 'playing along at home' but I didn't say playing because there is no bingo sheet for this channel.
@@KayAteChef Thanks for posting, I must admit that I do get a little protective of my old profession, sadly I gave up vehicle refinishing a long time ago, a really nasty divorce, and other things that made me just want move on, the day I left I asked one of my colleagues how much would he pay to buy all of my tools, 6 spray guns, and a lot of other items, he laughed and said £100, and I said OK and walked away, Years ago there used to be a classic car magazine called practical classic, my mentor was one of the mags panel beaters, As I said I do get annoyed when I see something that is totally wrong, like using wd40 as a wonder cure for everything, headlights, /scratched and keyed I did a full restoration of a tr6, long time ago, 5 years it took, just as I had gone through mot I moved house put car in to the garage, 2 weeks later it was stolen, As for tools a company called sykes -pickavant made the best panel beating hammers and dollar
You need more practice. The handle material looked like what it is: Burnt plastic. That blade needs a better shape it looks like a shoe. Is this your first time?
The way the plastic handle was made is similar to how guys in prison make plastic stabbing instruments. Burn the plastic, roll it into shape, twist and fold it (to get rid of air pockets), repeat until solid and in the desired shape, sharpen (on a pair of khaki pants), and smooth out by dragging a razor along it's entirety. Then, you tie a lanyard out of a boot lace and you're in business 😉... Just like in the video, a good pair of gloves goes a long way too... Survival 101! 😂
beautiful work, great video. i really liked the way you recycled the plastic. Always wondered if it was possible. thankyou for letting me see that it is. See you on the next one. Peace.
I request you to please like this video. Because it takes a lot of effort from me and other channels people like me collect old items and make videos. We will be motivated. If you like the video, we would appreciate your support. Encouraged to create more videos. And please don't dislike this if you don't like the video. Please let us know if we made a mistake in the comments section.🙏🙏🙏 Best regards #RESTORATIONCIRCLE
We can go out for lunch at it when it out to see it on your own or to a few other items out for you guys I ordered it from you at it tomorrow if I invite is it a new job so to be it but it will have it ready by tomorrow to see how it looks
I honestly though this was going to be another "dime a dozen" sand, polish, sharpen videos, which I do still enjoy watching. I did not expect the time and originality you put into this restoration, nicely done. I do have 1 question, what purpose does the square holes in the blade serve? Is it just to reduce weight?
nicely done. I'm gonna steal the idea with the instant coffee lol. I like it better without chemie like brunning. and the coffee colour is really lovely.
Interessante, ma0s não é restauração, ficou bonita e funcional, gostaria de saber mais sobre os furos quadrados, no mais, me entreteu bastante, obrigado.
Great idea using scrap plastic like that. I personally would have preferred wood but you did a much better job than I ever could have. Great videos....
