    For some reason, watching restorations without machines & only by hand is so satisfying.

    The lack of power tools made this vid so much more satisfying to watch.

    I, too, would love to see a side-by-side at the end! It would make the finished product that much more impressive!
    Also, when I played this video for my husband, I had to go back to 2:56 to show off that mirrored finish. Amazing results. Keep up the good work and I can't wait to see your workshop back up and running!

    Love your videos! I really like that you don’t feel the need to add cheesy music and let us enjoy the work sounds. Very nice. I think that you should add a side-by-side or fade at the end though, showing a before and after. Would make it all that much more impressive. Keep up the good work!

    Nice restoration, though I think maybe a hacksaw, the type with the .25 inch blade, would've helped make the making of the handle easier since you can manupulate the blade easy to cut curves with them.

    awesome! I have a pair from my grandpa, I want to restore and use them but they are still sentimental. They have plastic handles are probably from the 80s. How do you sharpen them? Should I change handles? what kind if i do? what products and order of grit sandpaper did you use? what did you use to polish? type of adhesiveness did you use? If i use a wood handle what kind do you recommend? Sorry for all the questions. But thank you
