I forgot to mention, I'm impressed with you're knife rebuild you took the hardest first step in your journey!!! Well done George !
Lol...NOW you tell me...lol. be sade my friend
This may be your best video yet. Thank you!
Wow, good to hear. Thankyou really appreciated. You be safe out there 👍
Good job George! Every knife project is an educational experience.
True story...and I'm finding that out the hard way..lol
I think both projects came out well. Thanks for sharing them with us. God bless you and your family.
Back at cha my friend
George I think the red knife turned out great. Look at how much you learned and taught us. I had not realized a pocket knife could be completely rebuilt. Take care.
Lol..I learnt alot for sure.vthankyou my friend. You be safe out there
Yeah I've had days like that. They become more common as you get older.... Now that can't be your problem because your just a young buck... So maybe it IS a curse!! 😱
Thank you for the video. Have a good day. 😂
Lol..the curse is making me older.....be safe
When I watch your knife refurbishing video , I have to take a deep breath and tell myself, don't down that rabbit hole again. That's why I have to limit the time I watch the knife doctor channel lololo well done George !
I need to do that...lol. opps to late
I have my own demons to address. I bought another parang. @@2ndchancegeorge
Lol...
Gave the knives a 2nd chance fer sure ‼️👍🗡️💯🏆
Lol..true story, buy the red Colonial aged me some what...lol. be safe my friend
Awesome job. Can't wait to see what you have done. Have a great day
Lol..its exciting for me, maybe not so much for you...stay tuned..Merry was excited????. For the box...spoiler ⚠️...just saying
The problem with pitting on the blades is that you have to remove metal by sanding until the pitting is gone, and sometimes it will remove way too much material from the blade. As always, we learn by doing, thanks for the video, George.
Yep. That's the issue for sure. Be safe
Nice work ! 🙂👍
Thankyou. Good learning experience...lol. be safe
@@2ndchancegeorge thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙂 . I am like you in so many ways and have a few thrift stores I hit from time to time that have a few buckets of various knives I pick though. I really like those older Colonial Knives and have passed on a few because of scale\ pin issues. You give me faith in trying to tackle a few of them 😉👍😃
Lom...it's a test the first time. Get a real beater and practice stripping and redoing. The best tip I got was from Kevin (the knife doctor). Make pints on the pins and start from one side. To half way. Then use another from other end to push that one out. Let me know how you do . It's fun for sure. Be safe
One thing I found was that after polishing a couple very old tools 100+ years old. I polished up to a chrome like finish. People didn't believe how old they were... also they lost that old "story " ... I figured out not all needed to look better than new. So i started getting the rust off and maybe some of the pitting. Then cold bluing and polish some of it back off . To me it's a cool look.
Yep with you there. Be safe thanks for watching
nice work- fun to watch
Thankyou young lady. Hope all us well.
Àll of us have bad days, sometimes you have to jump in!!
Yep. That's about it....lol.be safe my friend
Nice restoration!
Thankyou appreciate the support. Be safe
Nice work, buddy!
Thank you sir. Be safe
Great job on those projects, George! You're learning by trying, and that's something we should never stop doing, no matter how long we have on this earth! Just a little hint, though. You may want to wear a particle mask when sanding / grinding pretty much everything, especially plastics. You really don't want those fibers and particles in your lungs, Buddy! That's a sure way to shorten that precious time we have left. Keep up the good work!👍
Facts! Wear a quality respiratory device!
True story.
@EDCandLace yes mamasm have one on order. Just using some we use at work in the mean time. Be safe young lady
George I am excited to see what you have done, since you mentioned going into your savings, power to the shed? a bigger shed?, tools it sounds like for sure, can't wait to see where you're headed
Lol..cannot make the shed bigger would need a building permit...city ordinance. Cannit afford that...so yep tools it is. Be safe my friend
George I think these 2 projects came out better than you think! Your a perfectionist so it will almost never be good enough but trust me they are pretty good!
Hmmm. You probably right, but I always feel I can do better...lol. self motivation I suppose. Thanks fir the support as always greatly appreciated
I concur, your projects came out great.
@paulyoder865 thankyou, aporeciate the support
Good morning again George. 🇺🇲🔪🌲🔥
Lol..back at you my friend
Building up a custom knife jig to hold the pins vertical, so you can put the knife together on a hard surface may help solve your alignment issues with the SAK style knives.
Ahhh, I'll have to figure it out. Looks like I'm going to need one fir sure. Thanks 😊. Appreciate the support
Really enjoyed this. I’ve been wanting to replace the scales on some of my little folders, so maybe I will give it a shot.
Thankyou. It's a learning experience for sure. Be safe
Awesome video 😊
Maybe working oil into that main blade pivot could restore some snap…
Yep, tried that but made little difference. I think because it was used alot it's just worn out. I'll be looking for some beater knives for parts...maybe try one. Thanks for watching much appreciated
I had the same problem with a electricians knife. It had plenty of snap prior to me, replacing the scales and putting new pens in the knife. The trick is putting a slightly larger, stainless steel pen and that whole fixed the problem there was a little bit of play in the hole not causing enough tension in the back Spring even though you’re not getting any side, wobble or up-and-down play, it’s not creating enough tension to push the back Spring out, because if the hole in the the center is too big in the size of the pen slightly too small. It doesn’t push up/ out on the spring to create the snap. The blade rides on the pin… I hope that is making sense. Great job on the knife though. You always do everything with the spirit of excellence. :-)
Thankyou. You maybe right there...going back to this again, later after I get the other projects done...I hope. Lol. Its a test piece for me so that's the next test. Thanks again and be safe
Hi George. I have found Harbor Freight is a good relatively inexpensive option for around the house power tools and hand tools for working on various projects.
Yep, was looking at them. I decided to go with dremel as I preferred thier accesories.accessories... ops cat out the bag...lol. I do get alot from them. Never dissapoints. Be safe 😁
That project knife was a good learning experience and still a working knife for work bench and as for the pins perhaps using a flat tip punch so you do not hit the scale directly with the hammer, that might help prevent accidentally cracking a scale but allow you to tighten up the pins, if you ever redo the knife I wonder if you swapped ends of the spring on the main blade if it would tighten up the blade and give it more snap, just wondering
I was thinking that. Msybe it just needs a little clean up. But I'll be trying again. Wonder if a random spring from an old beater would work...arghh gotta find some old beaters for spares...lol
👍💪
I have nothing more to say at the moment.
Except that I would also like to convert my SAKs, but I don't really dare to do it because I know that I will spend a lot of money on it at the beginning and will be frustrated.
Lol...I hear you my friend. Another branch in the rabbit hole...😊
You need to get some Flitz like The Knife Doctor uses.
Yep next thing..l. be safe
I would leave those pins as they are without countersinking.
Lol..the knife Dr said the same thing. Be safe
Don’t fret, George. You’re not alone. Everything I touch ends up on the floor. I won’t touch babies or puppies anymore for fear they won’t bounce! 😅
Lol..is that ever a true story...and getting worse. Be safe 😁
Since it is a soft plastic I doubt you can get shiny, however when I was in school we worked with plexiglass which was a plastic and if I remember from 63-64 years ago we used a jeweler's rouge which is a polishing compound which I assume is also used on jewelry , I do not know where you buy it or even if I am spelling it correct, if you can make a contact with a jeweler or an Industrial Arts instructor with a school they may be able to provide you some direction
Ahhhh. Goid idea. I have seen on Amazon. Naybe we give it a test...bevsafe my friend
George if those scales are any type of g10/fiberglass and your filling/sanding it's Uber important to wear a respiration device or do it under water... you do NOT want to breathe that stuff in.
Yep. It's not g10. But anything I'm grinding etc. I wear something.
Did you maybe put the spring in turned around for the blade and awl, or the springs are mixed up for the opener layer?
I tried the different springs no difference. May be blade is worn. Not sure.
Next time that you are at Harbor Freight, pick up a small (2 ounce) ball peen hammer to round off those pins.
Good idea 💡 👏 AGAIN thankyou sir. Be safe
Love that little Colonial. That sheath is bad @$$. Where on earth did you get that 😉.
Thankyou. It was a gift from a Subscriber "Colorado Billy" is what I call him. Sent it with some other stuff on a mail call. Very cool. Thanks for watching always appreciated 😁...JUST SAYI G MY FRIEND
Like Apollo 13, it was a successful failure. LOL
So impressed with your tenacity. I am in the midst of a Mclane edger restoration and am about ready to throw in the towel and just walk away, you inspired me some to keep trying.
@@2ndchancegeorgecan’t wait to see all your new shiny tools for the south 40 man cave, WHOOT! Tell the boss hello, didn’t see her today, must be on holiday 🤔. Take care my friend, you’re the best!
Lol..They are bring used right now on your OT. Just saying
