Lovely restoration Lovely pocket knife Thanks for sharing

My eyes could only tear up at the 5:39 second mark. The symbolism of your project and the city of where the knife was manufactured is nothing short of astonishing. Thank you for inviting us into your shop and for all the time it takes for editing.

I don't why but I feel like sharing this. I have been on a job hunt after graduating in February last year. Today is finally my first day at work. After one day of training, all I have in mind was your advice to keep things organized. I don't know how, but watching your videos really is inspiring. And now, after long hours, I am finally able to sit, relax and enjoy your video, which of course, is again a great one! 😄😄😄

Wow, congratulations on a new job! That is great to hear! I wish you best of luck! You got this! To be good at organizing things, you have to think three steps ahead all the time. It is not easy but when you get a habit it will be extremely easy. My secret is: 1. you do a certain job-project; 2.after that you do assessment on how well you performed; 3. find your mistakes and why you made them; 4. most important - correction. See how you can improve those areas where you made mistakes and next time on a job you will be more efficient and organized. And remember this as a cycle. Even after 10-20 years on a job, do the same repeated steps: job, performance, mistakes, correction... Hope this can help you because this principle you can apply on any aspect of life 😉

I think you should design and build a bicycle based power tool array. Would give 2hand working with multiple speeds.Combined with the sewing machine array you would be a world leader in post-apocalyptic recycling.

Thanks for the suggestion, I did actually considered that in the past. My goal is to build up an authentic 1900th workshop and any bicycle based powered array would not fit unfortunately. I am researching though to find some similar designs used for grinding/sanding. This shop will develop a lot in near future and I am looking forward reading your tips and suggestions along the way!

Nice shop. The only thing I might do differently is [ @ 5:58 ] , remove that nut smacker on the grind wheel and store it away. You seem to use the treadle most of the time anyway. Put the crank back on when you have an assistant to turn it for you.

Looks awesome Boris! You really need to teach me how to make knives that sharp, I can sometimes make them shave arm hair, but it never cuts paper like that! p.s. I noticed the time stamps were not as detailed as normal, I hope this is just because you ran out of time as I usually find the timestamps to be quite informative.

@FFD_Restorations

3 жыл бұрын

Sweet, thanks a lot my friend! It is quite simple but it takes a lot of time. I start wet sanding with 120 grit > 240 > 400 > 800 > 1200 grit and afterwards I polish the blade and the edge and finish it on a leather strap. Approximately takes me 90 minutes. The quality of steel determines how long it will stay sharp. If you manage to cut your arm hair is great, you are almost there, you need just a bit more. It seems you still have that burr. Leather strap should do the trick to get rid of that burr. Thank you so much for the feedback on timestamps. I did purposely less detailed timestamps to see any difference in viewers retention. Well done for noticing the difference! Cheers Grant 🍻

Boris i've been watching your videos for a while now. i love them. one question i've had since the beginning: what is that hand buffing and wire wheel you have, and where did you get it? do they still make those or is it an antique?

Nice restoration. I like that you restore the old wood components when possible. This may be a silly question, but what is the purpose of the small blade on this knife? It didn’t look like it was sharpened and appeared to too rounded a tip for a screw driver (sort of liked like the tip of an oyster knife).

@FFD_Restorations

Thank you Richard. That is a good question. This pocket knife is specially designed for gardeners mostly for pruning and grafting. The longer blade is used to cut T on a tree bark and smaller brass blade is to gently separate the bark from a trunk. After that the gardener has enough room to place a new plant-twig with a bud. So, the purpose is not to cut, just to help in separating those layers during grafting 😉

It is a budding knife with a brass barklifter. Most commonly used for budgrafting apple trees and roses. There is still a factory in Germany making those knives, Tina-Messerfabrik. I couldn't find Flora knives but I could find something about the Flora, the saxon association of botany and horticulture in Dresden. You can find it on Wikipedia as "Sächsische Gesellschaft für Botanik und Gartenbau". It could be a private label item by this association, but this is wild guessing.
