  • Good day! This video is about restoring very old rusty files and rasps. This kit was abandoned for years in my grandfather's old garage. I decided that this video should also be here. Now they are doing their job perfectly. You can see this in my previous and next videos.

    Some of the files did not fit very tightly in the handles and had to be reinforced with epoxy glue. It is now an indispensable tool.

    That is a big lot of tools and very ambitious to do it in one video. I was surprised to see so many completed:)

    What solution did you soak them in?

      Rustoleum Rust Remover

    Well that’s 11 minutes and 54 seconds of my life that I’ll never get back… but that’s okay because I thought your video was great, and I enjoyed watching you restore the files. they look wonderful. 👍🏻

    Good job bringing that many files back to life, I'm sure they will perform well now. Don't forget a light oil or wax will prevent rust reforming. ALSO hammers and files do not mix, watch out for shrapnel !

      I got it already! Sorry for the unsafe work. Thanks for your feedback!

    I have no idea what you initially soaked the files in at the beginning. The usual way to make files work great again is to soak them in some type acid. The acid etches the metals out of the file teeth and even makes the teeth sharper with the acid etching as well.

    • @alexrestoration7013
      @alexrestoration7013  3 года назад

      I used a rust remover. I agree that the acid does it well. I will keep in mind for the next projects. But I can assure you that files are working very well now. I use them every day. Thanks for the comment.

    So how does cleaning off the rust make these usable files? Rust would remove the sharper edges that were thinner steel.

    • @adrianwright8685
      @adrianwright8685 9 месяцев назад

      Yes I agree. Some think using acid will somehow sharpen the teeth but I can't see this.

    • @Dino_Buk
      @Dino_Buk 5 месяцев назад +1

      Vinegar will sharpen the file, but very little.
      HCL is the best for sharpening the files, because it etches the metal and makes the teeth sharp again.

    Good job sir!
    It is especially nice to use a tool that belonged to a relative. Kind of sad those that come after our generation cannot expect to use much from our time - at least they can use their grandparents tools if they have them. 😜

    @koen_bakker 2 года назад +1

    Hey bro nice restoration, I'm sure they will work perfectly again! I have a question, what is that liquid called that you use on those handles? I'm restoring some files too and I really like that vintage colour that it has!

    • @alexrestoration7013
      @alexrestoration7013  2 года назад

      Hello! Yes, they work great. It's a stain liquid.

    Files aren’t restored this way. Rust has affected its teeth and in order to restore it you need to anneal it first and sharpen the teeth and then harden it

    • @alexrestoration7013
      @alexrestoration7013  2 года назад +2

      Thanks for the feedback! Restored based on technical capabilities. By the way, the files work great.

      Could you point us in the direction of resources that show us how to go about this? Unfortunately, I don't have much experience with this and don't have anyone in my world to show me. I would really appreciate your guidance. Thank you.

      Any acid will damage the skin, especially a strong acid such as HCL.
