My father in lay was a machine repairman... the things he could do with a hopeless case were amazing... making missing or broken parts on a mill and lathe for machines made in the 1920s,30s without plans or parts lists... he would have loved your vids as much as l do, miss him

"Olive Drab" was widely abundant and dirt cheap after WWI, My grandfather bought hundreds of 55 gallon drums of it surplus for his hardware and paint stores. All of his tools and delivery trucks were Olive Drab. Very cool tool, glad you have preserved it.

I love seeing these videos... I work in I.T. so I'm having to look at a computer program all day, so it's nice to see some good old machinery being taken apart and made beautiful again.

Never seen a saw blade sharpener like that, pretty neat. Always enjoy your videos.

Only one thing I would add to the restoration-you should have baked the paint in the oven! it does wonders for hardening the finish. My mum had a double oven which meant I could do valve covers in the top and swing arms in the bottom-all before mum came home! Look forward to the next one.

You do amazing work, It breaks my heart to realize how cheap and flimsy tools are made in this day and age, Those tools were built with craftsmanship.

I really enjoy your editing style and, of course, your fantastic sense of humor. I was expecting the theme music from “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly” when you drew your WD40 from your holster! Oh, and the hot melt glue on the Vise Grip jaws - that one is a keeper for sure! Thanks.

Not only are your videos therapy for some of us, but you are also demonstrating the engineering that went into these tools. With the internet, you are now preserving the history that millions have used to build their future that we have today. Thank you!

Who ever invented that was a genius so was the person that built the prototype , AND you sir are a Genius for restoring and figuring out how it works. Thanks for sharing.

With some modifications and replacement of the holding system to bring it back to original spec, this would be useful in any shop. Carbide tipped blades are generally used 10% of their potential then either used and blamed as useless or simply thrown out because people don't know you can either sharpen them or how to sharpen them. Just last year, i was going to pick up some iron from the scrap yard, and found 30, used, but in good condition blades. Guy tells me it happens quite often.

I love the engineering in these old tools. I wish we could get half that today in what's available. This was build to be serviced.

I am learning so many techniques from your shows even though I am pretty good around a shop..love to take apart things to see what they look like on the inside!

There is something strangely mesmerizing about watching your videos..... Is it just me? Thank you for saving these tools that would surly be lost to the scrap pile if not for you. RIP scraper.... your sacrifice will be remembered....

i use to use one of these when i was a kid, was my great grandfathers, he taught and had me sharpen all his saw (and chain saw) blades when i was a little kid because i did a better job then him due to his arthritis, still a skill i use till this day and has saved me thousands over the years

@dr.haroldweinstein5157

Does one typically spend thousands on blade sharpening? Am I doing life wrong?

This was a strange tool. But I will tell you after watching many many of your videos..I have learned how to hold/handle a screw driver. Most ppl would say "Really lady"? The top part of the handle seems to stay in your palm allowing you to keep going till the screw was in or out. I'd always held it with handle resting in between my thumb and pointer then always having to stop and move it back up. Father was a principal and not a handy man lol soooo I wasn't ever shown or taught right. But thanks to watching these restore rescue video I've learned a great deal.

i love how every things so dirty then you see the nice clean polished threads on the bench vice

A questão é persistir até o equipamento fique perfeito , como sempre maravilhoso trabalho !!!

Wonderful job restoring that tool. Something I learned on another wood working channel is that brown paper bag paper makes a great burnishing "grit" for doing fine work like that maker's plate on the tool.

First one I have ever seen! Love the hardware! Great way to spend my lunch break!

It's good that the blade sharpener is painted in the original colour. Good work.

Nice save! This is one of my favorite KZread channels. I find it so relaxing and I like his humor.

Love the trick with the hot snot and vise grips! Great video!

"Pretend it is sharpening" 😂 love you HTR

Ahhhh that green... brings back memories. My family had a business for @ 75 years that did locksmithing and safe work, as well as saw sharpening as well as gunsmithing and a half dozen other different things. I remember seeing a sharpener just like this one in the sharpening area, and it was the same color. Apparently, after WWI there was a LOT of 'Army Green' paint left over. Not sure i would call it olive drab. :P. It got used on EVERYTHING. Odd thing about the stuff was how versatile it was. There were additives to make it glossy and even give it a rough crinkle finish. We had to VERY old machines circa 1935 that were done in that color, one crinkle, the other I think was glossy to begin with.

Another awesome video. I have enjoyed watching all the projects you have done. It has inspired me to try and find tools to work on. Keep up the great work.

I love all of your videos. The rust removal is my favorite part. It's so satisfying.

Hot glue padding in the visegrips! I learn a new trick every time I watch. Thanks so much.

Great video. Love how you used some of the tool that you previously restored to restore this one. And love the fun jabs and stuff like that too.

Awesome machine! Well done man

This guy always find cool and old tools to restore.

love to see old tools get a new life.. even if that life is to sit on a shelf and look good. I enjoy doing this type of work myself. However most of the time, what I restore gets used. (esp old tool boxes, and similar), my ex wife used to grip about the fact all my toolboxes were painted blue

Hello from Holland.There is a liquid masking, acrylic base.it protects moving parts and parts you don't wish to be sprayed.it dry's quick with assistance of a hair dryer even quicker.I used it when spraying custom helmets.motorbikes instead of taping off.it peels off and you can also cut in a tight straight line.saves a lot of time and tape.

Back in the late 60’s I spent my summers in Orlando, my sister and brother-in-law owned a tool rental business and my job was sharpening saw blades for the carpenters that were building Disney world,

one of the better tools for sure that i have seen restored, very interesting.

Another beautiful finished legacy tool!

Man,,,you inspire me every time, thank you.

This is awesome. I know alot of people say you should never restore antiques, but then I feel it's pointless to have them. Especially if they can't perform the designed fumction anymore.

Would be really cool to see you rebuild a car engine. Keep up the good work.
