This rusty file will put some of my techniques for restoring old tools to the test. A file this rusty is normally worthless, so let's see if we can breathe some life back into it and learn a bit at the same time.
0:21 - Rusty File Test
1:02 - Sample Good File Test
2:03 - Evaporust 1st Restore Step
2:20 - Timelapse
2:56 - Initial Results
3:24 - Brand and ??
4:10 - Vinegar Bath Prep
5:05 - Timelapse
5:39 - Prevent Surface Rust
6:06 - Review and Handle + Helper
6:18 - Before & After
6:30 - Final Test + Trick to Prevent Stick
7:00 - Hand-Turning a Lazy-susan
The final product turned out well enough to use, like most old tools, I'd assume the quality of the steel is very good, which likely helps when doing these restorations.
I believe the file says "2nd Cut"
I picked up some old files at the flea market years ago. Figured they might make decent knife blanks. Good to see they might be able to put back into use.
I wasn't even close, but that makes more sense. Apparently 2nd cut is a grade finer than Bastard. Thank you very much for the comment.
Heat treating files works out well for me, I've been told that old leaf and coil springs are the best though, but I'm not sure if you have a forge to straighten these out. This steel is incredibly tough to work with. Is it manganese that makes an alloy steel spring?
@@NeedItMakeIt I have no idea what is in coil steel, or files for that matter. I figured since it was a large rasp and file that I had acquired, when I learned more about knife making I would at least have a cheap blank to use.
@@red58impala- Sounds good, those old files are really handy and they are good quality steel of course.
I looked into spring steel, and it is manganese, but not alone, it works in combination with the carbon content. There is a lot more to this since it's metallurgy and that's a field that I am no expert on.
Take care.
Bingo
The backside of the tang says "2nd Cut", refers to the aggressiveness or coarseness of the files "cut".
I thought for some reason that it was the 2nd 'class' because it didn't make the 1st cut... thanks for this.
Nice! I've heard that Diamond is a good brand. I like the handle and helper. But the 3D printing aspect sure caught me off guard since I just watched you make an axe handle using only hand tools!
I think you might of benefited from using a finer toothed brush and possibly a short, second soak. I think you could still get a lot of the remaining rust out of the groves.
I have a Harbor Freight ultra sonic cleaner that I sometimes use. I have had mixed results. It works pretty well on cleaning up things you can't clean in other ways, like an old pocket knife for example. It doesn't clean down to bare metal well, but it really cleans plastic!
Sorry about the 3D printing, I also like to invent things, and the 3D printer makes it possible to create something that I would never have been able to before. I made an extension to hold onto my hand-coffee-grinder which is threaded on both ends (male and female) with a very unusual shape and it was so easy, they can be structural to an extent, but like wood they have a grain pattern and a weakness to consider when designing them.
I promise you that the next video to come out will have no signs of 3D printing, ALL HAND WORK for a really awesome tool I am making. Every detail will be shown in the video and edited to be interesting so people don't need to skip through it to find what they like to see.
The ultrasonic is a really good idea, I've see it in action using the Evaporust and it works really well, I just haven't spent the money on it, but I probably will in future.
Thanks for the comment, I really appreciate you taking the time!
@@NeedItMakeIt My pleasure! And I for one, wasn't complaining about the 3D printer, just saying it was unsuspected considering how adroit you are with hand tools. Hey, you're a man of many talents! I think the mix of the old and the new techniques was interesting.
I've used Navel Jelly on rusty items that I didn't want to soak in vinegar, but it doesn't have protective properties. I have a double sided hand saw I found at an estate sale I'm thinking of trying the Evaporust on.
Keep up the good work!
Good restoration bro 👍👍👍
Thank you very much
3:37 means "2nd Cut"
👍👍
