Rusty Cleaver Restoration - "Handle Looks like Snake Skin" - Made from Burlap Coffee Sacks
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 окт 2024
- I got this cleaver at an estate auction earlier this year. I've been wanting to restore it for some time but I was unsure of the handle and how I'd do it. One day while walking past a large stack of Coffee Bean Burlap bags at work, I saw this bag with a great color of red for the logo. I knew that I had found what I was looking for. I've never worked with epoxy like I did in this video so, needless to say, this is my first micarta handle. Please leave a comment, good or bad. All comments are appreciated.
Thank you for watching, I hope you liked the video.

Two Hands Restoration
I love the ASMR sounds you’ve amplified throughout the video.
I've watched this video twice I enjoyed it so much
the burlap handle construction was so satisfying
My Dad owned a grocery store when I was a kid!!! I've got two of his old cleavers. The larger one is in beautiful shape and the narrower one needs restoring!!! I'm going to try and redo it and see if I can master it!!!!! I also have his meat saw, and it's in great condition also. I like old stuff!!!
Hobbies are great......
I really dig that handle. I think I would prefer it to be more glossy, but to each his own. It's a fantastic idea.
Thank you. I agree.
The addition of the copper in the handle was a real nice touch. Great video.
The handle layup and shaping is superb, sir.
... почему сейчас такие тесаки не продают в магазинах, с удовольствием приобрёл бы себе, вместо топора на рыбалку брать с собой, работа отличная, молорик, удачи и здоровья тебе!!!
I didn't expect to like the handle when you started in, but that turned out to be a really good idea that you executed quite well. Thanks for sharing!
There will not be another one like that. Great job.
I was very skeptical of the handle at first but it turned out fantastic!!!
Such a unique handle
Beautiful work. Love the copper spacers and the burlap micarta handle!
Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship.
Great job!!!!! I actually have a burlap sack in my shop I’m about to turn into some micarta handle scales and I would’ve never thought about using brass for liners so I may have to steal that idea for some knives I’m making. I truly enjoy watching videos like this whether it be you or someone else. I like taking old tools, knives or what not and refurbishing/restoring them for use. I just recently picked up and old set of WISD 10” shears for $4 and they’re rusted and need a bit of TLC, but the are usable and I have already sharpened them and used them, but they could be better.
You wouldn't be stealing since I get all my ideas from other videos.
Great restoration job! Loved the handle, it came out so well. Thanks for sharing with us.
handle turned out great! love the shape too
Magaling talaga silang magrestored ng mga ganito!!
Thanks for the video. My chef's knife, similar to this cleaver, but thinner blade, the plastic handle broke. I need to make a new handle but don't know how. this video helped to at least try... Don't have all those machines (tools) but try to do by hand. Thanks.
Love.the.handle.very.good.craftmanshipBRAVO
Nicely done handle.
The handle surprised me
The burlap micarta worked well. Thanks for the video
Very nice…love the handle
Stunning... I want it
Appreciated the lack of obnoxious music, etc.
Great handle! A lot of work, but the finished product is really nice.
Hut ab! Sieht gut aus!
Excellent work, the little detail that made me disappointed was the epoxy on the blade when you glued the handle, but that's really a tiny detail ! Love the video, first of yout video that I watch and that's quite relaxing, and cuting the noise of machines is a nice idea, more should do this too
Nice!! I didn't see you sand the sides of the handle smooth before you oiled it and you can tell. I would of used a lacquer on the handle for a more glossy look but thats just my opinion. I was expecting to see that blade polished to a mirror like chrome finish, that's always my favorite part of a knife restoration.
A friend at work suggested the same thing. I'd like to do another handle and I'll definitely lacquer it when I do.
@@TwoHandsRestorations Awesome!!
Very nice... enjoyed the vid... the handle rocks.
Real
Cool restoration,,,,,i like your job,,,,the handle knife is fine and original,,,,, greating from Perú 🇵🇪👍
Thank you.
I love love love when restorations come out shiny! Your work is beautiful! SUBSCRIBED!!!
Amazing job. Good on you for trying something new, you're very creative. When i saw the burlap sack i was thinking ..what the hell is he doing with that.. then you turned a burlap sack into a handle 😂 and it came up great. Well done mate.
Well, to be honest, I never thought the handle would ever turn out looking anything but ugly, but it does look good! I just wish you could hafe done a little bit more with the pitting in the blade.
just beautiful!
Never seen the epoxy in the coffee bag done like that, super cool idea. Definitely would have tried to conserve it a little more instep of wasting that big piece on just this one handle. Probably could've used it on another handle.
What you saw was my first attempt at a micarta handle. I didn't really know what I was doing. I learned what worked and what didn't. The next one will be smoother with less waste.
I can smell and hear knotts berry farm just by looking at the handle holy shi-
Great work!
Handle looks like snake skin.
Congrats.
Thank you. I'm going to use your quote if you don't mind.
@@TwoHandsRestorations be my gest
Very Nice!
I believe that this was a great restoration. I don’t believe nit-picking someone’s video ( except for bad practices). Nuff said.
Thanks for posting and sharing. Really nice restoration.
Great craftsmanship man. Loved the handle effect
the handle came out great, the metal work not so much. keep at it man, good job!
Congratulations....top
Beautiful ................. Dan from Ireland ,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Good job the only criticism I have is to use finer grit sand paper for the handle.
Looks awesome man!!!
Perfect for Butchers, Bullying Someone or Cutting Someone`s Arm as Payback ;) Well Done Mr. Two Hands Restoration.. It was an Impressive Restoration :)
Awesome job sir, that handle turned out fantastic. You got a new subscriber 👍👍
Nice job
Never thought of using Burlap for a micarta handle but it definitely works well! Nice restoration, and great job with that handle!
a lot of great techniques. thanks. really nice result
Cross pattern sanding 🧐🧐
👍👍
Very cool! Great job!
Love!!!
Excellent! I wonder.. would the resin handle polish to a shine? or would the sack stop this from happening? Great work though!
When punching out pins, level your work piece. Safer, neater, faster
I thought leaving the red exposed in the micarta was super cool. I was sad, however, when I realized that you weren't going to put the metal cap back on the front of the handle...
Awesome!
Trabalho perfeito ,curti muito.A estampa do cabo ficou igual cobra coral .Parabens
Really nice job! The scales are amazing.
Innovative.
Beautiful
Good afternoon. Everything is great, good work. But one question arises: why brush with a hand, and after five minutes turn on the air .... Why?
I like working with my hands and prefer it even though it can be laborious. Sometimes, however, my hands get a little tired (Cleavers are hardened) and I give in to the air tools. Or, in other cases I experiment and see what is working and not working. Thank you for watching.
the handle is art. The metal part is ok, love to see more sanding on it
I'm going to have to agree with you. Thanks for watching.
I really enjoyed this video because I have a beat up cleaver just like this. How much would you charge me to redo mine? I would try this myself but I don't have all the tool and other stuff needed to pull this off. Thank you
Do it without the fancy tools and be proud of the outcome, show your grandchildren
Hi bro 👋👋👋 good to see you 🤝🤝🤝 very good restoration meat cleaver 👍👍👍🔥💣👌🏽
As always, thanks for watching.
Super did everything perfectly👍👍👍
damn that spine looked like someone tried to baton rebar with a sledgehammer
Parabéns, sou do Brasil, estou encantada com o seu trabalho de restauração, é fascinante, obg!
Beautiful restoration. Thank you for sharing your artistry.
Thank you
Amazing 👍👍❤️
rusty clever
WOW!
That looks really sharp.
All kidding aside, it is really nice. What is the texture like on the handle? Did the epoxy make it smooth or does it retain some of the texture of the burlap?
Beautiful job, especially on the handle!
Thank you
I like everything you did, except for leaving traces of the pitting from the rust. I would recommend sanding it out and buffing to a mirror polish.
He still wants it to look kinda old not brand new
That handle is super creative! 🔥 🔥
the handle is so bad ass. did you consider putting that old guard back on? what became of the finished product?
I put all the stuff I do aside. When I have the space I will use them as displays.
Nice
Should have put the handle cap back on. Other than that STELLAR job!
Take the positives from this reno forward.
Not sure if using oil on the epoxy handle is a good idea for the long term stability. It could soften the resin and deteriorate with time. A varnish or polyurethane might be better.
EXCELENTE TRABAJO
What kind of epoxy you use to make the handle by the way it looks amazing your job !!
Thank you. There is a link in the description.
I think you need to soak 1 layer at a time in the epoxy and stack as you go
Before: my destroyed weapon in dark souls
After: what my weapon looks like after restoring it's durability.
at the beggining you should clamp it.its dangerous to drill like that.welldone sir..just be safety.
I just subscribed. Nice work.
WHY NOT A FLAT FILE? ON SIDES OF BLADE, TO KNOCK DOWN THE PITS, HIGH VALLEYS, LOW VALLEYS. MAKES SIDES FLAT AND SMOOTH. NO GULLEYS FROM HAND SANDING.
Why would you want it to look brand new? If you want it to look new wouldn’t you just buy a new knife?
How much do you charge for a restored clever????
It looks like someone used that clever as a hammer 🔨
It's a butchering cleaver, and the butcher would use the spine to bust through the pelvic bone of cows, deer, elk, bison...whatever was brought in...but the hammering through pelvic bone all day caused the mushrooming effect on the spine of cleavers!
WHEN EXAMING, JUDGING A PROJECT LIKE THIS. DO YOU HAVE TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE TYPE OF STEEL USED? BASICALLY DO SOME BLADES HAVE CHEAP STEEL THAT IT IS NOT WORTH THE TIME RESTORING? HOW CAN WE TELL A BETTER METAL, HIGH CARBON BLADE, WHEN IN THIS CONDITION.
LOUD NOISES
Some blades are made with cheaper material than others. There is a wide range of quality when it comes to knives, cleavers and other cutting instruments. I am the wrong person to ask about how to tell the quality of metal used. I know that you can buy a kit that enables you to find the hardness of metal so you can determine if it is suitable for your needs. Beyond that I don't know enough to answer your question accurately.
nice work...
Hay man loved the video. Just wondering what the point of soaking the blade in vinegar if you are going to wire buff and sand it as well it just seems like a unnecessary step to me.
I let it soak over night hoping it will do most of the work. This blade was very hard and the rust was stubborn. Restoring/refurbishing these things is trial and error for me. It is a hobby and I'm having fun. Hope you enjoyed the video.
Parabéns! Lindos os seus trabalhos!vc poderia colocar os nomes dos produtos q usa para tirar a ferrugem? Obrigada .
Vinegar.
Autofocus can be frustrating, can't it? Another great job!
Yes, I agree. It's a new camera and I'm learning I have to check it often.
