I have one exactly like it. Found it in a field. After restoration, it was a couple of decades before I put it to work. Its a fantastic tool. Its used for jobs I formerly did with loppers or small chain saw. Very efficient.
You always surprise me with your innovative ideas when repairing items when parts are not available or just improving on the original idea! You are a 😊 true craftsman. If I was young again, as a perfectionist I would really enjoy and excel in that type of work.
Sehr schöne Restauration! Viele lustige Szenen waren drin, besonders lachen musste ich bei "Just do it" 😁 Der Griff war mein persönliches Highlight in diesem Video! Gruß
The camera work was so good I could smell the rust. Excellent! Great job on this old school machete, loved the handle and finish work on the blade! Always a treat to see your techniques. Thanks & Cheers!
@@zoiders That wasn’t the primary purpose of copicing, it was a process to produce wooden poles of hazel or ash, harvested on an eight to ten year cycle. The poles were used to make a large variety of objects in pre-industrial society.
@@NTRprojects The other 99% of restoration channels seem to be filled with hipsters who own a lot of tools but don't understand steel. Its when you see them "heat treating" kitchen knife blades in a commercial electric oven that I cringe the most.
Top-Arbeit! Ich sehe mir gerne Deine Videos an und habe mir auch schon ab und zu mal eine Bier-Empfehlung gegönnt. Bleib dran, das ist top!! Grüsse aus dem Ruhrpott 👋
This is one of your best videos by far! Your restoration was impeccable, and that handle you made is beautiful and suits the whole aesthetic of the piece so well. Have you recently changed camera? Your filming and editing were gorgeous. It really made that beer's colour pop, it made me want one myself! This was an absolute treat, thank you! I'm not well at the moment (my house has cov 19, thank you british government), so this brightened my day significantly.
I enjoy watching tool restoration videos (yours included), and I gotta say: I am *AMAZED* at how many different methods there are to remove rust. Electrolysis, chemicals, or just plain grinding it off. It's fascinating!
Ooooh a lovely find from the steel waste picking. Nicely done and loved the handle. Very clever with the "Just Do It", I really laughed out loud at that. Thanks for the upload!
Wonderful work! Love love love the handle. The next time you have dried leather like that soak it in Neatsfoot oil for a couple days. Thats how we restore old leather on saddles and bridles and all.
Ist gelungen! Endlich weiß ich, wie Nike zu dem Logo gekommen ist . . . Kannst Du noch etwas zum Schleifen mit der selbstgebauten MDF-Scheibe sagen, so etwas habe ich noch nie gesehen. Schade, dass Du nur noch einige Lederscheiben des Griffes retten konntest, aber der neue Griff ist wunderschön geworden und passt auch. Gruß Tino PS: Rasieren, damit müsste man sich doch auch rasieren können . . . ;-)
Ich werde das rasieren mal ausprobieren :) was willst du denn zur MDF wissen? Ich habe es selbst auf RUclips gesehen und wollte es mal ausprobieren. Ich habe mit dem fingerschleifer mit 240 vorgeschliffen und dann mit der braunen paste direkt auf der mdf geschliffen und anschließend mit der grünen
Ich hatte gehofft, dass das Leder wieder geschmeidig wird. Ich erinnere mich an Hausmittel wie Wasserdampf oder warmes Kokosnussöl. Aber der neue Griff ist wunderschön geworden 😍
Ok imma gonna say it…… I’m thoroughly tired of some of these restorers sayin’ shit like “I left the pits because they look cool” 🙄😒. If you are going to bring a piece back to life AND entertain your restoration should look BETTER than it did brand new!! You kind sir have done just that!! What cool process. Other restoration channel TAKE NOTE!!!
You had me in the first half, not gonna lie. Glad you liked it. And I totally see your point. But sometimes I also like to leave patina, but it must fit into a detailed finished in the end. I think you mostly refer to the channels where you can tell that they just didn't want to do the extra work
Tolle Arbeit. Wir in Bayern sagen dazu "Räss-Siche" (Reiß-Sichel) .... Wird bei uns ausschließlich zum entasten von Baumstämmen genommen - also ein Werkzeug für Forstarbeiter. Natürlich optisch nicht ganz so schön wie dein Exemplar. Einfach schön zum Zuschauen.
I have a novel video idea! In one video you restore multiple simpler tools in succession as you find you need to restore the next in order to work on the one prior. You can build dramatic tension with each one and then finish them all in the end with elation.
Absolutely, Beautiful! One of your best. I wish you had redone the handle in leather like the original. It offered some cushioning for the hand. (I emphasize "restoration")
In all honesty and from all what i've seen in the restoring and knife smith niche, this video is by far one of the best i saw. Everything is very well explained, the tools are very clean, the work is clear to understand, there's humour and fun, the workshop seems clean, the safety is respected...And so many other things. Now for the machete it is sooo beautifully restored! BRAVO my friend and thanks for being so generous in sharing your knowledge without selfishness!
Absolutely outstanding work, she's a beautiful peice. I have an identical machete only a different maker, the makers mark is a straight razor. I have been inspired to work on mine. Thank you. I'll putt up a pic when it's all done. Keep up the great work.
It's absolutely beautiful, one thing though, traditionally, working knives such as machetes are usually blued, they are to be used outdoors and bare metal rusts extremely fast in those conditions. As a show piece though, its stunning.
Beautiful work, perhaps excessive for a humble Ticino billhook. I have a passion for Italian pruning hooks and I prefer the feel of a good leather handle, which absorbs both blows and sweat from your hands. Unfortunately, it is difficult to find the necessary thicknesses, and especially in suitable die-cuts, which are only found in billhook manufacturers. Sometimes I have replaced the leather with four hardwood corners glued to form the tang of the billhook: it could be your idea for the next one.
Yes I understand. That's why I didn't glue the handle to the blade. So a little damping is left when the force leaves the handle through the leather sides
thank you for the aluminum wobble, it cured my depression
Oh Kalen I'm glad it brought light to your day. I hope you get well soon
"Not Terrible", my as_! That is one of the best restorations I have ever seen! It's beautiful!
Oh thank you Jay. Your compliment is very appreciated
I have one exactly like it. Found it in a field. After restoration, it was a couple of decades before I put it to work. Its a fantastic tool. Its used for jobs I formerly did with loppers or small chain saw. Very efficient.
Sweet!
Thanks my man and thank you for this nice gift
I don't know what's better the restoration or beer review.
Glad you liked both :)
You always surprise me with your innovative ideas when repairing items when parts are not available or just improving on the original idea! You are a 😊 true craftsman. If I was young again, as a perfectionist I would really enjoy and excel in that type of work.
People like you are one of the most underrated
Coconutty. Thank you very much. This is a big compliment
Fixing the edges and polishing the blade - you got my like!
Thank you very much
Nike approved this !
I hope they did :D
Sehr schöne Restauration! Viele lustige Szenen waren drin, besonders lachen musste ich bei "Just do it" 😁 Der Griff war mein persönliches Highlight in diesem Video! Gruß
Hey besten Dank und schön dich hier zu sehen. Ja der Griff sieht im original auch wirklich gut aus
Parabéns, ficou show. Saudações do Brasil.
Awesome resto definitely not terrible not even a little
Wonderful project, sir.
Many many thanks Mate!
I like the handle and the polish on the blade is great.
Thank you Mark
1. Amazing handle
2. Didn't know you could do that with mdf. Very cool 😁
Hey Frank, I was surprised how effective it is
Great job!
Thank you
An NTR video makes my Sunday afternoon. Leffe Blonde is in my top 5 world beers too.
Hey to see you so soon after upload makes my Sunday. Best regards Richard

Glad you enjoyed it and thank you
She's a beauty. Excellent idea for the handle. Thank you.
Thanks a lot Shawn
Proper awesome and respectful!
Thank you very much
Great restoration, like the handle. Plus that blade is sharp.
Yes it is and I'm glad it worked out with the MDF method
In the UK we'd call one of these a bill or a billhook. Used for hedgerow work originally. Pretty cool find and excellent work.
Ah thank you for this info. And thank you for your comment
I’m from the US and I’m fairly certain we also call them billhooks 🙂
Oh and I’m 99% sure they’re called a “billhook” blade because of their shape. Just for the few that might not know 😁
Not so much hedgerow work but what is known as "copicing" which is how woodland is kept accessible to live stock and walkers.
@@zoiders That wasn’t the primary purpose of copicing, it was a process to produce wooden poles of hazel or ash, harvested on an eight to ten year cycle. The poles were used to make a large variety of objects in pre-industrial society.
The blade is cool but I love the color of that beer more.
Yeah it was the perfect color
You passed with flying colors NTR! Handle was outstanding.
Outstanding handle
I love the idea of the MDF disc sharpening.
I'm gonna use that idea in my video if you don't mind.
Go for it. Maybe leave a hint to my channel
Great restoration!!
Glad you like it!
Its nice to see a restoration video where the steel isn't turned into a wet noodle by over heating it with an angle grinder.
Even during grinding I constantly cooled it every other minute to prevent overheating the hardening
@@NTRprojects The other 99% of restoration channels seem to be filled with hipsters who own a lot of tools but don't understand steel. Its when you see them "heat treating" kitchen knife blades in a commercial electric oven that I cringe the most.

I almost spit my soda through my nose at the Nike logo! Thank you! I really needed a good laugh today.
Hahaha glad you liked this one so much
Incredible, and totally useful
"On the porch was a sling blade. Some people call it a Kaiser blade, but I call it a sling blade " 🙂👍🏻
I learned that this is called very different around the world, by wrongly naming it a machete :)
Wonderful work! Love love love the handle. The next time you have dried leather like that soak it in Neatsfoot oil for a couple days. Thats how we restore old leather on saddles and bridles and all.
Congrats !!! Fyi, you made brand new and shining what is called a « Goyarde », famous in the French northern Alps.
Excellent work and humor, probably did not look that good new.

Good job 👍 👍

die machete habe ich mir vor einigen jahren in der schweiz gekauft ,die ist immer noch scharf, schönes video👍👍👍👍
I used to skip over the beer part of your recording, now I look forward to your rating.
Sehr schön geworden, gefällt mir sehr gut.👍👍
Mit etwas Übung klappt das auch mit der Tatamimatte 😉

Ja ich bestelle mir noch ein paar und dann wird das 😁

Very nice. It is a billhook, the most important tool for hedgelaying. Thank you for sharing, it was fun to watch 🙂
Thanks for watching! Just found out about hedgelaying. Very interesting. Thank you for the info
