Thanks David!
what a great project. I’ve never bought stain outside of yard sales and auctions. balling on a budget 👌
Thanks Zack! Stain is usually dirt cheap (or free) at yard sales and it keeps really well!
Even great looking tools can be used. It gives an excuse to have fun restoring them again someday! Nice job on these. I like the high gloss myself. Oooooh....shiny!
Thanks Lee! I'm not a big fan of high gloss, but I think it looks good on these putty knives!
You've now got better putty knives than the day you bought them. Well done, sir!
Thanks Stephen! The handles are almost too nice to use now!
I also hook up my belt sander to the shop vac. Keeps everything cleaner. Really nice repair on the handles. Definitely an upgrade. Chuck looks like he is supervising. Watch out!
I hook up the vac when I'm sanding wood. I'm scared the sparks from sanding steel will catch my vacuum on fire! So far Chuck has been a great shop mascot!
Great save!!!! Those handles are beautiful now... I can't believe the stripper made mush of the old handles! I never would have thought the safe stuff would do that! =) Thanks!!!!!!
Thanks ScoutCrafter! I used that stripper to get paint off of a plastic tool box so I thought it would be OK on the putty knife handles. It was a good excuse for some wood and brass!
Beautiful job on the handles! And thanks for the warning about chemicals which "eat" the plastic handles. I've made some razor-sharp knives from old HYDE carpet knives & use them in 18th century & Civil War re-enactments. The HYDE blades, which I have, are carbon steel & hold a great edge! Thanks
Thanks for watching! I'm working on a putty knife-knife right now! Stay tuned!
Those are absolutely gorgeous. I love the stain and the Cherry wood. Fantastic job.
Thanks Ben! I have a bunch of scrap cherry. It is nice to work with. I went with the stain and high gloss to try to hide the glue seams.
Those putty knives turned out better than new! Those handles are awesome! Great video! Stay Healthy!
Thanks Aaron! The wood and brass is definitely an upgrade!
Without the exposed metal tang around the handle it makes it seem like a real luxury tool. Those 4-in-1 file/rasp are handy, I have 3 of them.
I woulda gone full tang, but those funny notches pushed me into a sort of hidden tang deal. The stain and gloss finish do a good job hiding the glue seams! I agree, those rasp tools are handy!
Magdad thank you so much for taking time to make your videos. I get a great deal of enjoyment out of them and have started to restore some of my old tools thanks to you and Scoutcrafter.
Thanks Larry! I'm glad you enjoy my videos. ScoutCrafter is an inspiration to us all!
Great job on those home-made handles. I guess you learned that "not all plastics are the same..." But the result was far better as a result.
I absolutely LOVE those handles and the finish. If you don't like them just send them to me!
Thanks David! I wish all of my "disasters" turned out this well!
Really like the cherry wood handles came out great well done
Thanks Ben! I have a bunch of scrap cherry, I really like working with it.
You knocked those handles out of the park! Very nice putty knives.
Thanks Marc! It turned out to be a fun project!
"Feelovision" 🤣 The handles look smooth as glass. Thanks for another great video. I have learned a ton from your videos.
In this video you learned that the "safe" paint stripper will eat plastic putty knife handles! LOL Thanks!
Those handles came out beautiful. Way to make a bad situation into an even more satisfying one!
Thanks Tom! If life gives you lemons, make wood handles and brass pins!
I loved the video! you did a excellent job on narrating, it would be cool to see a knife like this stained with something natural like coffee beans instead of chemicals
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I've experimented with steel wool and vinegar stain with OK results.
Love how you used other tools you've made for this project, they came out top notch mate, great work as usual!
Thanks!
Nice Job!! Better than the plastic handles. Your right to nice to use :). Stay safe. Thanks.
Thanks John! I think they'll end up on the project wall!
That was a great save. They are better than new. I would hate to use them. I would scratch or break them. You always amaze me. Stay safe and healthy. Thanks
Thanks Glen! I probably made them too nice to use! LOL
Lesson learned! Not all plastics are created equal! Good to know thanks. Seriously thank you I needed that video. Think iam going stircrazzy lol.
I find working in the shop very therapeutic - especially these days!
So true. I actually managed to buy a used blast cabinet this week😀 so I can improve my clean up on parts. Trouble is can't get any blast medium locally lol may try kiddy sand as can get that😀 thanks
I Really Like how you inset the blade inside the wood..Makes a better handle than plastic
Thanks! I was planning on going with a full tang arrangement, but those notches pushed me toward a hidden tang.
Excellent..... Love the screwdriver-chisel..... I'll have to make one 👍🏻😂🛠️
Thanks Armando! I just made another screwdriver lathe chisel for an up coming project.
Outstanding result!! OK so it wasn't the way you wanted to start, but I think we all have that one project that starts that way. Its the result that matters.
Thanks Stephen! Melting those plastic handles turned out to be a good accident!
What started as a disaster, ended as a masterpiece!! Well done, thanks for sharing and take care!!
Thanks 2/3! I wish all my screw-ups ended so well!
Sweet! They look great! I do like the gloss wood stain color mix. 👍
Thanks Robert! I figured the dark stain and high gloss would help hide the glue seams.
Lot better than the old ones. Sometimes disasters lead to better results.
Thanks! I wish all of my failures ended so well!
Great finish lovely handles iv used shoe polish before now on new handles great finish great vid nice one..
Thanks John!
Great job salvaging the restoration.
Thanks Mike! My mistake turned into a fun project!
Fantastic job! BTW Chuck the Wackadoo is an excellent addition to your channel! Hilarious. I see he has already been trained in flitzology! 😀
So far I've only trained him to say "Flitzit".
That's all he really needs to know.
Those really turned out amazing!! Great stain and finish!!
Thanks Steve!
WOW! Those handles came out FANTASTIC!, 👍👍
Thanks Frank! I usually don't stain the cherry, but I wanted a darker finish to hide the glue seams.
Beautiful. Over the top...and worth it!
Thanks John! Once I ruined the original handles, I figured I could make the new ones extra fancy!
Not that i know anything about plastic but if breaking bad is right. Polypropolene plastic is acid resistant that certian plastic jugs are made of.
I aslo love the wood handle putty knives !! Those are amazing brother !!
Mrs Magdad is a Breaking Bad fan. She remembers the episode about the acid and the bath tub!
@@357magdad yeah me and my lady watched the whole serious over the summer when it was too hot to go outside. It was not really my thing but it was a wonderful bonding expereince.
Man those turned out great. I will be on the lookout for ugly old putty knifes at the next yard sale.
Thanks Rusty Gun! Hopefully someday we'll have yard sales again!
They turned out nice! New life!! Love your videos..👍☺.
Thanks Tommy! I wish all my "disasters" turned out this well!
Very nice, I really like it! I've read that birchwood makes a gunstock wax to, I'd like to try that out someday.
I haven't tried it, but I'm pretty happy with their Tru-oil and the Super Blue!
Those knives are sweet. Definitely hangers, not users.
Thanks John! I think they are going up on the project wall!
Great 👍 save! I would have gotten caught in the same “plastic bottle, plastic handle” trap... but they look sooo much better now!
Thanks! I had luck with that stripper on a plastic tool box that had paint on it.
Those really turned out nice!!
Great job!!
Thanks Jack!
Wow! I like those handles. Nice
When life gives you lemons . Well Done
Thanks Alex!
They are much better now than when they were new, awesome 👍👍
Thanks Nash! Now they're too pretty to use!
@@357magdad good to see Chuck helping out.
Awesome I like how they came out.
Thanks! I usually don't like the high gloss finish, but these look good!
What we all learn from our mistakes. The cherry is a beautiful choice for the handles!
Thanks Steve! I have a bunch of scrap cherry. It is nice to work with!
You said what I was thinking,,, too pretty to use now. Did a great job, last a long time now.
Thanks Todd! I turned them into wall hangers! LOL
Excellent as always. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺
Thanks Stuart!
Yes, Hyde tool is still running in Southbridge, Mass.
Thanks for watching!
Those handles look fantastic! I agree that they look almost too beautiful to use!😂
Thanks! I think they will end up hanging on my project wall!
When I buy my putty knife factory Magdad, I'm gonna get you to run it. Superb job.
We should start a business - "Wires's Steel, Wood and Brass" We could sell putty knives and perfect handle screwdrivers!
@@357magdad Yea Man
Great job, I love the handles!
Thanks John!
Wow those turned out great.
Thank you!
Beautiful job!
Thank you!
Those handles look great.
Thank you! What started as a screw up ended up a fun project!
Nicely done!!
Thank you!
nice work magdaddy
Thanks DB!
Well played, sir!
Thanks!
Thanks for an informative video.ATB.
Thanks Mats!
nice job, I love putty knifes
I love them too! Back before the plague, if I saw a wood handle putty knife at the flea market / yard sale it would follow me home!
Love me some “Feel O Vision”
Feel-O-vision would be great!
Very nice job as usual. I personally always round corners in metal, it relieves the stress points. Cracks in aircraft usually start at square corners! Nice job anyway. Plastic is a bitch.
Thanks!
Looks amazing great job buddy!
Thanks! Can't wait to see the Savage assembled!
@@357magdad me too ! Not doing a video but I'll put pictures on Instagram
Very nice!
Thanks You!
Wow, they came out great! I can’t wait to see what you do with the one I am going to send you! 👍🏻
Wow! Thanks Joe!
Prettiest putty knives EVER!
Thanks Topper! They are too pretty to use now! LOL
Those came out great! Much better than having plastic handles. Do you think you could make a knife out of the putty steel?
I bet you could! I would think you would want to be careful not to heat the metal up too much while shaping to preserve the temper
What an improvement! Great stuff. Cheers
Thanks Joe! A wooden handle and brass pins improves any tool!
The Putty Knife Gods are smiling upon you :]...Really Nice Work!!
Thanks D&R! They're too nice to use now! lol
B.E.A.utiful! As Bob Ross always said... We don't make mistakes, we have happy little accidents! What do you suppose the little notches along the sides of the scraper blade are intended for?
Thanks James! I guess those notches were part of the patented design for securing the plastic scales.
@@357magdad No. Not on the handle side. The stiff blade has three evenly spaced, rounded notches or scallops along the sides. Not the handle, the blade. 🤔
Those look really nice now. 👍
Thanks Sparky! They're too nice to use now! LOL
That's always a problem making these things too nice
Awesome job. They turned out beautiful!🇺🇸🔪👍🇺🇸
Thanks WM3!
Well done beautiful handles.
Thanks Sue! I have a bunch of cherry scraps. It is a really nice wood to work with.
When a mistake turns out to be a good thing those handles turned out a 100 times better then the plastic one's...
Thanks! I wish all of my mistakes turned out so well!
sweet!
Thank you! It was a fun project!
Paint stripper doesnt afect p4 plastic but other kind of plastics sure...
Now you tell me! LOL
perfect
Thanks Daniel!
4"03 "almost" too pretty to use 👍🏻
Please, this was just an excuse to add wood and brass to some steel.
I sure wasn't gonna put new plastic handles on! LOL You know I love my steel, wood and brass!
Tour of your dust collection system?
My dust collection "system" consists of a 15 year old Shop Vac! I really should be better about dust in my shop but I'm cheap and won't spend the money!
CHUCK!!!!! :) we like him :)
Thanks! Chuck is having fun in the shop with me!
What's the purpose of the notches on the side of the blade on the thicker scraper?
I don't know Bob. They seem like just decoration to me.
Well, now you've gone and ruined a piece of history...lol...you'll have to write to the Hyde Co for forgiveness. ..lol...beautiful as always!
Hyde should thank me for upgrading their handles! LOL
Hey! My like is #357
Excellent!
