Hi folks. Haven't posted a video in a while. Hope someone finds this one mildly entertaining. Thanks to my friend, Chad, for donating the rusted scissors!
Ben- If ever you are faced with this situation again, try to remove the screw. Good quality shears and Scissors are all meant to come apart easily. You can’t go wrong with red handles! 😃👍
Welcome back!! You have been missed! The shears will make excellent shop scissors for rags or sand paper type work. I have a pair that I cleaned up and painted orange so I could find them easier. Glad you are back!
Hey, no pressure Ben, it's always a pleasure to see one of your videos, but it's got to be right for you too, hope you're doing well ! That was quite a tough project to come back on, the irony of course is that the quality of the steel in those Wiss shears is partly why they're so badly rusted ! Anyway they came out great in the end and most importantly work well, I'm sure you could have gone harder on the pits etc, but it's as well to take a step back and consider before going in hard, ScoutCrafter has done a number of these and always warns about messing with the hollow grind ! Great to see you back, you've been missed !
Hi Mr. Ben. I was tickled to see your new video pop up! My coffee finally tasted good once again this morning as I enjoyed it with your video! and Your scissors came out nice... Scissors are a big challenge for me... I tell ya, I suck at them for sure... I can get them to looking ok....but they won't cut for nothing at the end! 🙂Excellent Job and video as always! Its "Gooder than Good" when Mr. Ben is back to making us videos!!! Thank ya and thanks for sharing!!!
WOO! HOO! Ben! Like an unexpected visit from a welcome friend. Always good to see you have a new vid for us! Fun project too! I dig the red too. :D Thanks Ben!
@Ben Mall, Great video. Glad you're uploading content again. Now, you've inspired me to create more content for my channel. It's been over a year...maybe 2! If I may, here's a couple of shop ideas: Add 1 qt. of distilled water to 1 gal. of muriatic acid to take the place of the evapo-rust. No odor or off-gassing that will rust ferrous metals. Your soak-time would be approx. 1 hr. instead of overnight. If you don't want to store and reuse it, just set it outdoors and let it evaporate. WD-40 summarily sucks as a lubricant. The "WD" stands for "Water Displacement" and it is a mediocre (at best), lubricant. And, to take the place of WD-40, here's one of my favorite secrets: To 500ml of Acetone, add 125ml of ATF. Best penetrating oil ever, and inexpensive to make. Store in an HDPE or glass trigger spray bottle. It'll keep indefinitely. keep up the good work! Bill
Thanks Bill. Yes, I've used Muriatic Acid before. I've also used Citric Acid. Evaporust just feels a bit safer. I normally use PB Blaster as a lubricant but the WD40 is great when you need something very thin to clean a connection point. Scoutcrafter frequently recommends 50/50 which is his mixture of the Acetone and ATF. I haven't tried it yet.
Nice, I have a similar pair in my workshop. And the pry bar? That would make for a nice wee video. Sometimes the simple little restorations are the ones that spur us on to do things. Thanks for the video.
Wow, Ben, you are a miracle worker they turned out great for what you had to work with! Lately, I have been finding good scissors for a dollar or two. I have always draw filed the edge Just for kicks I tried a carbide speedy sharpener honing in both directions I resized a good burr fast. Worked really good just take light passes.
Ben for us it’s the visit, Like running into an old coworker you thought a lot of. Public speaking is similar I suppose, we know and enjoy your company but you don’t know many of us😃 Hope to see on the YT👍🏻
Hey Ben, first time watcher, gotta say I really liked the video important as with anything but I do hope you continue to create videos! Maybe your viewers can help with some video ideas to get some motivation. I’ve got to keep this comment brief because I need to watch all the other videos you’ve uploaded lol
Thanks Dale. I got some of the music from the Music Library that RUclips provides for content creators. Others, I paid for through a stock music company called Pond5.
Glad to see your work again. A good heavy duty pair of shears but boy they were in rough shape. Way to persevere to bring them back. Your video work is excellent.
Good to see these given a second life. I was expecting you may need heat to get the scissors to open, but the various fluids and cleaning did the trick. Scoutcrafter would like the red, but would have had to remove the pitting. The pitting looks too deep so not much left if removed. Well done. Dave.
Hey Ben, Glad to see yo back in the shop. I have days I don't want to do anything. Hard to get started. The shears turned out good. Considering how they looked when you started I was surprised to were able to get them working.
@@mrbenmall It happens. Shorts have been a saving grace for me. I can use my phone and catch a 15 second clip of something, post in it another minute and on to something else. I also have half a hundred projects waiting to be done so I just start the camera and go. Not as polished of a presentation for sure. Editing eats up your day. I edit while Lydia is telling me all about her day and plans for the next. Do what you feel best doing. It's just nice to see how good your projects work out. .
Glad to see you again Ben. Great job on the scissors! Ready again for service. When I watch your videos, I think to myself, I like to try that. So your inspiring just as you are. An average guy with an average shop full of average tools that can take something and make it useful and beautiful again. Great job and thanks!
Really glad to see you back Ben! I thought you ran off and joined the service. Lol. The scissors came out nice for the amount of rust that had them locked solid. 🎥👍✌🇺🇸
Ok it's not a man crush or anything...but dam Ben I missed you...once again music is great, content cool, subject rocks....host is a rock star.... Ok maybe a little crush... LOL!!!! Welcome back Ben I missed you....👍👍👍👍😎
2.6 k members 260 odd comments vast majority ( inc me ) have missed you…. that’s 10% …your public need you man …get filming (plz) the customers always right !
Good to see you back !!! gotta keep the ball rollin…your style is really relaxing you and that fellow in Washington right on with john Smith or something like that are too stingy with the 50/50…lol…good video and keep ‘em comin…🖖🏻
What's wrong with you chatting and painting? NOTHING! And I figured you'd come wobbling back sooner or later. Missed you and your smiling semi-fuzzy face! And Peevaporust? Yep. BLESSINGS 2 U!
Ben- If ever you are faced with this situation again, try to remove the screw. Good quality shears and Scissors are all meant to come apart easily. You can’t go wrong with red handles! 😃👍
Thanks John. Had I not gotten it when I did, that was going to be my next step. But I was hesitant because it didn't look like a normal nut.
Yes, YOU got the red handled vote, Pal!
You have no idea how much I missed your content and your friendly face. Great to see you back. We all appreciate your efforts mate.
Thank you Shed Man
Welcome back Ben! I'm glad you were able to get those scissors freed up! I like the red handles too!
Thanks Señor Magdad
it's a shame somebody let those rust so bad, its pretty hard to get this kind of quality in scissors nowadays, good job!
Yes, they were top quality at one point. Thanks Martin
Great to see you back Ben. Looking forward to seeing more of your episodes. Thanks.
Thanks Ian
Glad to see you again Ben! Nice restoration of the scissors!
Thanks Merlin

Good to see you Ben, nice save on the scissors, nothing wrong with a good pair of shop scissors.
Thanks Barry
Love having you back! Great job on scissors, I could never get the pitting out of a pair of mine either!
Thanks John
I have missed your videos, Ben! Nice job on the scissors.
Thank you Bob
Huzzah! Both for your successful resurrection of the scissors and for getting a new video together! Welcome back! 👍😁👍
Thank you!
Great to see you back Ben.
What a tidy little project too, I like the red also, a useful pair of scissors for any shop 👍🏻🇬🇧
Thank you Andy

Thank you!
The end result was excellent and as a bonus you get a valuable tool in the shop
Yup. They work great.
Glad to see you back in the shop. That high carbon steel pitting looks terrible, but those sure do cut well...excellent work. Cheers
Thanks Joe.
This is so good! I love when a tool has to be soaked in the fluid. Entirely satisfying.
"This is so good" is the opposite of "it's bad... ITS BAD!" right?
Hey Ben! It's great to see you back in the groove! Great job! Have Fun !
Thanks Bill
It's good to see you back Ben! Looking forward to your next video.
Thanks Rick
Welcome back Ben. You've been missed.

You could mess around with bluing that little pry bar...
Perhaps. Not sure if I like bluing or not. The jury is still out.
Nice work Ben. As always great tunes and clean up.
Thank you Al!
Glad you are back! Really enjoy your channel.
Thanks Randy
@@mrbenmall
You're very welcome!
Nice, I have a similar pair in my workshop.
And the pry bar? That would make for a nice wee video. Sometimes the simple little restorations are the ones that spur us on to do things.
Thanks for the video.
Thank you John

It’s hard to get back into
It, I know that … nice vid, now do another 😊😊🇬🇧
It's been in the 100s this week. I can barely go outside to water the plants. :)

Do what you feel best doing. It's just nice to see how good your projects work out. .
That is so nice seeing you again I think I can say this for all of us. We really missed you. Great job on the scissors by the way.
Thank you Allen. Hopefully I won't take that long of a break again.
Welcome back. Thanks for introducing your shop cat.
Thanks Margie. I have a regular B&B here for all the neighborhood cats. But Cookie is usually always very close by.
