Not being a skilled welder myself, I had no idea that the weld LADB made would be so hard that it'd be near impossible to drill or tap. Thanks LADB for showing that, I learned something from you and some helpful comments.

Your videos are so fascinating, I watch them before bed all the time!! Thank you for doing what you do, your uploads make my day better every time!

Love this . But instead of sawing off bolt when the nut is stuck , try a nut splitter, or apply heat and or try tightening the nut before trying to undo it . That often cracks the rust layer off inside

I was thinking that, or a hammer and chisel. I’ve used it on seized bolts before to turn them a bit.

Well done, what a great little shear that is. Is Avril OK? Just for future reference, welding cast iron with mild steel rods nearly always ends with glass hard metal that can only be ground. Cheers, Stuart 🇦🇺

I love these channels, you know, the ones that actually restore stuff instead of "restoring" and "old toy" that was just smashed with a hammer thrown in mud and finished with basing pigments for miniature painting, This channel is what keeps me hopeful that youtube has some good creators left.

Absolutely shocked he left that weld on the handle.

Same, although I actually liked the finished look with the contrast in materials and colors. Maybe he had the same problem as the other weld where it was just ludicrously hard and it would have been an insane amount of effort to grind it down.

I thought the same. The whole restoration was flawless, but that weld...... Awful

That, and the paint job..and the cutter portion..and didn't look like he sanded down..or did anything with the handle, just painted right over it. I think I've been both spoiled & jaded by "My Mechanics", to does everything to as close to perfect as I've ever seen it lol. All that being said, I feel like a jerk saying any of this when it's alot more than I can do 😅 But still...that weld tho 😂

Been away a long time. Good to be back. Hope Avril and humans all in good health and spirits.

Nice refurbish project. Amazing how easy those metal shears cut with the compound leverage. Owning such a tool allows you to make a lot of really interesting and needed projects now... Thumbs Up!

Just wanted to say that I think your work is awesome. You made this piece look like it's ready for work. The fact that the primer dindn't hide it's marks or the weld on the handle wasn't sanded off, gave it a unique identity (in my opinion). I have a farm and your channel made me believe that my old rusted tools can be restored and back to real action. So thank you for that.

I know it's a lot of work, but I think the finish would be better if you sanded down the weld on the handle... Anyway, it was very satisfying to watch the restoration!

I was surprised you didn’t clean up the weld on the handle?

5:52 The master mold was fibrous wood, you can see the wood fibers perfectly!

Beautifully done! I’m always amazing at how precise and functional a machinist can make parts for an item and have it work better than when it was new!!!

I'm loving the lathe work in the recent videos. Keep it up!

Very Rusty Metal Shear Restoration..TOP VIDIO

No sé porqué la primera soldadura la dejas como pegote, cuando la segunda soldadura la pasas por la máquina de diamante para quitar el exceso de soldado...😮

Lovely. Fantastic work, as always. Great to see an old tool such as this get a second life.

So happy for seeing another of your nice and perfect works! ❤

Where's Avril?

Very nice,,, throughout this video I was wondering what this could be used for I knew it had to cut something ,, thank you for showing it cut the metal at the end of the video ,,it turned out wonderful ,,I hope this is a piece you can put to use in your shop ,,it's nice to see the old brought back & used,,I hope your day is wonderful 😊

Great job. I haven't seen Avril in the last two videos. Is he ok?

Something relaxing about this channel

Beautiful restoration job, I must say. It looks much better than before. Great work.

Fantastic job!! Love your guys work.

Awesome stuff as always! I also love playing the "Spot the hands" game ;)

Beautiful job! Excellent machining and finishing. Thanks.

Тот случай, когда "работа мастера боится"!👍

Your videos was fascinating to watch. Watching you makes me realize that my Moms old sewing machine can be restored.

Você é um verdadeiro artista! Parabéns!

Beautiful restoration, always enjoy seeing y'all.

Another home run! Great restoration work, sir. 🔥🔥🔥

A high quality piece of work. Thank you.

Fine piece of work !👍👍.......i've missed Avril tough😔

Goodness looks like you have a lot of fun ahead of you. I can hardly wait till your finished as I already know what an amazing job you do with your projects. It's just so exciting. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ to see a master at work. Thank you.

Very good job. Looks great and functional too.

Well done. Love the colors too.

Another one saved! You will find this really good on black iron bar from Briclage, I use mine all the time, I like the little safety dangler that stops the blade coming down, the weld went glass hard because the weld pool took out some of the carbon in the cast iron, you could have annealed it with the torch, you will have noticed that the countersunk bolts holding the blade on were not standard countersink bolts, they have a much shallower countersink angle, the ones you made had standard countersink angles on them, that may cause problems later when you use this superb shear! Many thanks for posting! Chris B.

The difference is amazing! Another great video 😊❤

beautiful restoration, these shears may be useful for your next renovation

Excellent looking restoration and you did an amazing job restoring it as well!!! Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

Belíssima restauração !!! ❤

Amazing work. Great job!!

I hope that little bug that was de-homed by this restoration was safely put outside to find a new one.

omg, that was REALLY well done !

Very professional restoration work. You are the Master, sir.

I love watching @mymechanics resto vids but watched them all. Most other restorers seem sloppy and inexperienced. Your videos do not, they remind me of my fav channel, and so I will keep watching. Thank you

Another block of rust turned into a valuable tool! Great job!

Great restoration job, as always. Is Avril ok?

That piece is ready for another 100 years!

Great work as always!

Awesome job! I almost turned it off when the spider was moving at 59 seconds.

What is the difference in using blue liquid coating and heating and dipping in oil?

Hot bluing is more durable and is preferred.

The tiny double tap with the hammer every time is proven to work!

Great work as always 👍👍

Great restoration, that is an incredible video 👍👍

Great result!

Felicitări! Artă și meserie !!!

Où est Avril? Wo ist Avril? Where is Avril?

When a weld is very hard you can temper it with heat and slow cooling. Stick it in your regular kitchen oven and slowly heat it up to max. about 500F leaf it for a couple of hours and slow cool.

Fantastic job!!! ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Great job! Where was Avri?

Quand une personne aime son travail, elle sera créative

Tighten nuts by using the box end of the wrench. It keeps them from rounding out. Always use box end when you can. Beautiful piece!!!

Просмотрел всё Ваши видео, понравилось! 👍 Любое из представленных смотрел с интересом. Желаю Вам успехов, здоровья и творческого вдохновения! Всех благ!

Really enjoyed the video , thanks 👍🏻

Hello Labd beautiful restoration beautifully restored well done

congratulations on over 1m subscribers!!! am long time subscriber... you both deserve it so much and love avril!!! aloha from hawaii...🤙🌴✌️

Very nice work. Really enjoyed watching it.

Don't know exactly what it is for but you did a great job on it. Have a great day

I love these videos, even though I am not, in any way, related to this kind of craftsmanship. Besides creating (very) satisfying videos, is there any benefit in restoring objects like this? Do people actually pay for restored old items, or is it just a hobby (where YT content is the actual winner)? Not trying to be blunt here, I am just really curious Keep the vids coming please :) :) :)

That is a pretty piece 🎉

Very nice,looks like it can go another 50 years.good video as always.just keep doing what your doing and carry on.👍👍👍😎😎😎

Vous avez toujours des outils interessants a restaurer. ❤

Very good work!
