Antique Fabric Scissors Restoration

Ғылым және технология

The other day I spotted this large pair of fabric shears in my local junk shop and I just couldn't walk past them. I've always wanted to make a restoration video and this seemed like a good place to start. I hope you like it. I certainly had fun making it.

    Nice work,,, There's a video of a veteran employee of an English scissors maker. They fit the parts by hand - each is individual, and they tweak one blade with a mallet to bend it just so, that when cutting paper it cleanly slices as you close your hand.

    My mother used to chew me out for using her fabric scissors to cut paper. I like your restoration job.

    Oh no, did I cut paper in the video? Please don’t tell your mother!

    I'm 40 yrs old and still get smacked on the back of the hand if I grab my mom's sewing scissors for any reason at all...

    Nice restoration. Is there a rule of thumb for how much to tighten the pivot screw?

    Thanks for watching! I like to tighten it until there is no play and there is a little bit of resistance when closing the scissors.

    Hey, I don’t know :) Maybe try it with a scrap piece of steel first to see how it goes.

    i did notice, that after soaking in rust removes, it gives a dull grey to steel, does the laundry detergent stop that also?

  • @imadethischannel

    Soaking the steel in an acid like vinegar etches the surface, which leaves a matte finish. The laundry detergent stops the etching process but doesn’t reverse its effect.

    ​@@imadethischannel thanks, so the part that has been "eaten away" by the vinegar has to be grind down.
