In today's modern world people believe in 'Use and Throw' concept due to Chinese goods. Till 1990 in my Country India we bought things which seems bit costly then but they stayed intact life-long. We have still a wooden sofa set made in 1995 and is exactly the same. After globalization China dumped its goods in India, Board replaced wood. Now we spent a lot on buying things again and again due to poor material and machine-making with no human touch. But your shop shows me the past how people built daily use items with mechanical tools. The Machines lost the human touch in goods, crafting. Thanks for sharing your wonderful skills.

I couldn't agree more, well said! I have to admit that makes me really sad. For me having opportunity to do thigs as my grandfather did without any modern power tools blows my mind. I wish that all people take better care of tools and equipment even if they are modern. At least to try to repair them when they break before they trow them away.

I really like Mora. A knife is first and foremost a tool, and here for a modest sum we get excellent quality and practicality. No knives for 500 dollars. My Mora Robust has been serving me for 10 years. On hunting, fishing and camping trips, it has never let me down

As an amateur fabricator and restorer of old things myself, I thoroughly enjoy your videos. See as you use mostly, if not all, hand-powered tools, this also gives me guidelines for my own projects, as I'm not necessarily limited, but I am lacking a few power tools I need.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoy the videos. It's always fantastic to connect with fellow enthusiasts. What's your favorite project you've worked on recently, and do you have any tips for someone looking to get into fabricating and restoring old items?

@5T3V3N-ns9gg

@FFD_Restorations My favorite projects to work on are woodworking and amateur knife making, with knife cleaning and restoration thrown in. I don't make pretty things. I make ugly yet functional things. I prefer it this way. If it looks good but performs poorly, looks won't matter. My tips for newbies are as follows: 1) always clamp down your workpiece, especially blades. I have a 7 suture scar on my right index fingers because I failed to clamp down a blade. 2) take your time. Get to know your tools and materials before jumping into any projects. 3) build what makes you happy. There is no need to compete with others.

@FFD_Restorations

@@5T3V3N-ns9gg your passion for woodworking and amateur knife making is inspiring I love the philosophy of creating functional things over just aesthetically pleasing ones - after all, performance is key. Thanks for the valuable tips for newbies. The scar on your right index finger sounds like quite the reminder to always clamp down the workpiece, especially blades! Safety first, right? Taking the time to understand tools and materials is such solid advice. It's easy to get excited and jump into projects, but that patience pays off in the end. And your point about building what makes you happy is spot-on. There's a unique joy in creating something that resonates with you rather than trying to outdo others. Looking forward to hearing more about your projects and experiences! Keep creating those uniquely functional pieces. 👨‍🔧🔪🪵

Wonderful restoration with many original tools. Thanks so much for showing your process, much appreciated I have a similar knife in stainless steel from the 60's/70's that was used in medical corps and the fiber sheath. My sheath just needs the black paint/stain. What kind of paint/stain did you use? My handle is in good shape, needs a minor restoration to remove white paint from sitting on the bench. So I won't be painting it red. Since that sheath its made of fiber would varnish or shellac be a more appropriate finish?
