Really strange how he polishes it, then scratches the hell out of it with a dremel, then sharpens it, then puts a handle on it... gonna let you in on a little knife maker's secret: polishing is the last step.
@Hephaestus Restorations I think most everyone gets it. It’s all just trash bin stuff… to see how many clicks they can get and how many people are fooled into oohs and ahhs. It’s just not that hard to pick these out. I’ve never done a “restoration” like these claim to be… but I’m not too stupid to know when it’s faked. I watched one “restoration” where the guy only used the two metal plates and the locking mechanism, made the blade, wood handles and all the other parts and still called it a “restoration”.
I love what you have done with this , as i watched i realized from the handle that it was from a horse shoe this supprized me i did not think there was enough metal to make this !
If you are going to take a grinder with a sanding disk to it, why bother with the electrolysis rust removal just use a wire brush on the bench grinder to get the rust off
Can't speak for this video but when I've chemically removed rust it didn't come back. When I grinder it off it often came back in a day or so. I also like the color change I got from chemically removing it.
Nice work... ignore the negative comments or key board warriors on here... if they think they can do a better job why don't they start up a RU-vid channel and show us how it's done and listen to the comments they are given! Constructive comments are better than negativety... that's how we all improve our skills x
I feel bad for that chisel it looks like a quality tool. Somebody get him a cheap putty knife even a cheapy screwdriver. the chisel is probably of higher quality than the machete. He is restoring the wrong tool.
