  • I restored my Grandads old Backsaw. My Grandad gave us some of his old tools. They were old and really rusty. We wanted to give them a new lease of life!
    We restored this tool so it looks like new! It really is an awesome restoration.
    Restoration Process:
    It's a good idea to brush down each part of the saw once taken apart. I use a wire brush to get rid of the surface rust. To remove the more stubborn rust, i used a solution of White Vinegar and Salt. Much better for the environment than rust removers. Once this has been left for a while, sanding down the metal blade will restore the shine. When it comes to the wooden handle, it's a simple case of using sandpaper to bring the wood back to its original colour. I then used some Woodstain and Matte varnish to protect the handle. Once complete, we put the saw back together and enjoy using our 'like new' backsaw!

    It is very nice to see a vintage tool come back to former glory and be used - great job!
    When using vinegar (or any other acid solution) and salt to remove rust I recommend rinsing the item off in pure water while brushing off the residue and then soak it in a 50/50 mix of water and baking soda to neutralize the remaining vinegar.

    I recommend that you use force tools such as an angle grinder, cup brushes, orbital sanders and sand blaster as they give better results.

    Why do you not state what grit sandpaper you used. Sandpaper comes in a large variety of grits. Is this some crapshoot of a guessing game where the viewer has to guess the grit you used?! Bad tutorial video.

      I'm late to the party, but don't mind trolling the troll. My guess is that if you can't figure out a proper set of grits for sanding the metal or the wood, maybe restoring old tools isn't something you should take on. Maybe you should develop your whining skills on other RUclips videos. Seems like you have a natural talent for that.

      The whole point of a "tutorial" is to TAKE THE GUESSWORK out of the equation in order to produce a superior result - but I "guess" such a deduction would be beyond the limited intelligence of a narrow minded idiot such as yourself. BTW, I have done very impressive restoration of genuine antiques over the years and but am always willing to learn more. I give credit where credit is due and I critique when frustrated by inept content or when dealing with lunk-heads. @@dwainlambrigger3769
