    Your videos are very easy to fall asleep to. I mean this is the most sincere way possible, this is a huge compliment.

      lol...I always search out a professor....or dare I say a sermon....his videos just give me tool envy

    • @Girdain
      @Girdain Před 8 lety +8

      Gotta agree - there's something very calming / relaxing about the whole process being sped up to the point where you're barely hearing the loud thunder and lightning the tools would produce on their own in real time. I've fallen asleep many times watching the latest video because even though I was tired, I wanted to see the video, and after some time into the video, the whole process is so relaxing that it just let the sleep take over.

    My grandmother refinished furniture, and it was how she cleaned the brass all the time.

  • @weldingtipsandtricks

    I loved this...and can't really explain why. I think because those tools have soul. Great vid brother!

      Those scissors especially have a LOT of soul! You can get tailor's bench shears made today, but I don't think they're made in the US any more, or with inlaid forge welded steel. Last summer I did a similar restoration of four pairs of garage sale found Wiss #20 shears, and they're now my favorite go-to shears. They looked about as bad starting out, but the inner hard layer of steel cleaned up amazingly well. I can't think of much stuff made today that will survive that kind of neglect.

    It is very sad to abandon the robust tools of old times to rot .. Restoring them It is a pleasure to make it work again ...

  • @MarkLindsayCNC
    @MarkLindsayCNC Před 8 lety

    Bonus points for being a city kid and knowing what fence pliers are for. I was 27 before I discovered there were special pliers for working with fence wire - right about the same time I discovered that Vice-Grips weren't actually the stock window handles on a '62 Chevy pickup...
    Keep keepin' on, Brother!

  • @Pentec
    @Pentec Před 8 lety

    One of my favourite parts of watching your videos is you restoring old tools, the patina of the older tool combined with the freshly attached handles always gives such great contrast!

  • @Grizzydan
    @Grizzydan Před 8 lety

    As always you've gone above and beyond. I love how you add brass touches to so much of your work.

  • @greysonmonaghan-bergson3455

    I love how satisfying your restoration videos are! Thank you for keeping me sane through this year of school!

  • @Watchyn_Yarwood
    @Watchyn_Yarwood Před 8 lety

    I really enjoy your videos, especially when you re-purpose old tools! I went to an auction a few weeks ago and bought a box of tools that the auctioneer said had been dug up from the ground. One is a huge J. H. Williams Superector ratchet handle. I took a length of 3" PVC and capped one end. I submerged the wrench handle into the pipe filled with white vinegar and let is set about a week. I then submerged the head in a bucket of the same. Amazing results from white vinegar! When I finish cleaning the ratchet pawls and oiling the whole thing down, it will be good as new. Thanks for the inspiration!

  • @skateboards5298

    After a very long day getting sunburned and then working well into the night doing invoices it is revitalizing to watch your short films. It reminds me that I love being a tradesman.

  • @allowaycar
    @allowaycar Před 8 lety +1

    Very nice. As someone who has used many a fence tool walking miles of electrical fence, I'd never use that one if I didn't need to. You get shocked enough and you come realize how precious rubber grips are on those handles. Great work again!

  • @ryanmartinson4531

    Fantastic, Sir! I was a little confused about turning wooden handles on the Bridgeport, but it totally worked. All look super!

  • @landonashby2029
    @landonashby2029 Před 8 lety

    Only difference between your fencing tool and the 30+ year old one in my Dad's tool box is he's got some worn in blue plasty dip coated handles. Hung a lot of barb wire and electric fencing with that tool. Great Restoration on all those tools got some real gems there!!!

  • @AaronVozzolo
    @AaronVozzolo Před 8 lety

    Love the way those chisels cleaned up and the brass tips make those handles! Also like the ending when you showed each tool restored and using it...cool edit!

  • @dikotakreighbaum2430

    Saving pieces from certain destruction. It's a beautiful thing. You should make a mini series doing restorations of old wood furniture.

    Awesome work, sir! Keep telling the wife we need to hit the flea market in search of some of this rusty gold to restore and put to work in my shop. Thanks for sharing! Love how those all came out - especially the chisel and shears handles.

  • @chakathewolf
    @chakathewolf Před 8 lety

    I made a similar handle out of mesquite for a wood chisel years ago on a very similar lathe. I used the taper attachment just because I'd never used one before. Nice work.

  • @dsberube
    @dsberube Před 8 lety

    Well Done, once again. Most amusing part was when the vinegar made you cough about the 1:30 mark. I don't know why but I sat and listened multiple times and laughed out loud. Keep it up Jimmy. I love your videos.

  • @tom7601

  • @havardvestad4427
    @havardvestad4427 Před 8 lety +3

    I've found that when you're trying to submerge especially large or chunky items it's better to cover the items in plastick bags and tape the bags so that they fit the item cloesly. If you then fill the bags with vinegar you can cover the whole surface of the item with almost no vinegar.

  • @waynoswaynos
    @waynoswaynos Před 8 lety

    I just did this vinegar rust removal technique a few weeks back. Worked awesomely apart from areas that wouldn't de-rust. Ends up they had patches oil on them that I couldn't see due to the even coating of surface rust. It's worth doing a scrub with suitable detergent prior to the vinegar treatment. If you do this, the job is over in a matter of hours. Otherwise you are looking at days.
    The other thing i found is that the cleaned surface was ultra prone to rusting almost immediately after the vinegar soak so you want to dry and prime/paint or oil asap. Alternatively, use citric acid. It's cheaper and makes a chemical bond with the iron that doesn't seem to rust so readily.

    I have a 1/4" mortising chisel just like that from my grandfather. The handle has been beaten down to maybe 2 1/2" long, long before it came to me. I use it almost every day in the shop. 99% of the time, I'm just using hand pressure, but I've been meaning to make a new brass or copper ring for it for at least the last 15 years.

    @cplcombat Před 8 lety

    I often ask myself should I bring something back to good use or just get a new one. I almost always renew and reuse. this is one of those things that let the world know where we came from and why we need to slow the heck down and enjoy something more real than the material itself. something special about restoring stuff.
