Beautiful result. Loved the mirror finish; but a bugger to keep clean from my experience. That handle though.....you outdid yourself there. Just reading some of the comments on using the old handle. I have nothing against the new one, but I have saved some badly stained wood with wood stain. I usually choose or mix colours to the darkest stain and then work with that. Some of the gun stains are very good. I have saved wood with the black mould stains using that treatment. Just a tip in case you weren’t aware.
To be honest, I'm not expecting the mirror finish to last too long anyway... I like the look of it, but this is going to be used, and it'll develop its own patina over time. Basically starting a new history! Thanks for the hints on the wood stain, I hadn't thought of going that way. I've still got the old handle, so I might have a play around with that and see what I can do. Nice idea! 👍
Thanks! Not sure what you mean about the resin though? I tried hard to save that handle, I actually did a lot of cleaning off camera, but I just couldn't get it to a state I was happy with. It was too deeply stained, and just looked more grimy than patina'd. Hence the choice to make a new one.
@@OldtoNewRestorations you can get clear epoxy resin to coat the handle with to repair damage and stabilise old wood without loosing strength and preserving it, lot of knife makers do it for handle scales and seen other restoration channels do it
@@andyc750 Ah yeah, I'm familiar with resin. But the old handle was still quite solid. If I'd have been able to get the stains out I'd have happily reused it.
Very well done! If I may, I would suggest soft jaws for your vices. I use aluminum angle or wood angle or rubber caps depending on the need for my vices. It is also more efficient and quicker than taping up the work piece. Regards from Canada
Glad you liked it! I actually am getting back into it, working on a new video at the moment. A short break turned into a longer one, but I'm back in the workshop now!
Thanks! That was heat treatment - these tools are hardened steel and quite hard to work as they are. Heating it up and letting it cool (called annealing) will make it softer and easier to work. Then heating it up again and cooling it in oil (quenching) will harden it again. That's the simplified explanation, anyway. I hope that helps 🙂
In our “ throw away” society it’s nice to see someone take the time and care to give this tool another life.
like the cat the garden and the vintage screw driver restoration thank you

Ottimo lavoro, complimenti 👍👍👍
Grazie! 👍
Very good!

easy to save that handle with resin and would keep some of the patina from age but a nice job on the new handle anyway, does look the part
Thanks! Not sure what you mean about the resin though?

Absolutely - it's something I've been meaning to get round to for a while now!
Great restoration...you scared me a bit removing the handle tip on the band saw. Subscribed with pleasure!
Thanks, and thanks for the sub!
Yeah, the bandsaw scares me a little sometimes too, so I treat it with respect. It hasn't got me yet!
That turned out great! Sorry to see you're no longer making video's...I would have subscribed!

@@OldtoNewRestorations Great to hear!
Turn screw is what this tool is called. the blade should not taper for the first 1/2 in. or so. Great job!!!!
Thanks for the info!
Great work 👍
Thanks! 😁
Great Job!
Thanks!
Muito top 👏🇧🇷
Obrigado! 👍
Not an expert on metal either. Couldn't understand why you kept heating it over and over. Loved the finale product though.
Thanks!

@@OldtoNewRestorations I understand the process very well. What I didn't understand was that you were softening it intentionally.
Almost too pretty to use. And I mean that in the good way...
Thanks! 😁
Your restoration is not good your work is slow you not mind juse
What does that nonsense even mean? 🤣
