The first steps of my 1953 willys truck restoration. The original frame is junk, luckily I found a spare
Hogue OTF Knife FAILED Me!
มุมมอง 1.8K3 ปีที่แล้ว
I bought this knife with high hopes, and my expectations were met for many months. Unfortunately it failed in a way I did not expect. This is not to bash Hogue, they make exceptional products. This is intended to be informative for people who may rely on a knife in a more serious situation.
Abandoned Stone Lighthouse

A walk on a frozen lake reveals an abandon lighthouse. All that remains is the limestone shell and a few outbuilding foundations.
Chainsaw Milling Maple Burl
มุมมอง 2.5K6 ปีที่แล้ว
Took some proactive steps to ward off cabin fever by getting into the woods and felling some timber. This was a silver maple burl that was turned into some slabs instead of firewood. The dog was not happy about us interrupting his sleep schedule.
Sharpen A File With VINEGAR!
มุมมอง 66K7 ปีที่แล้ว
If you think files are disposable, think again! Using common household white vinegar, you can sharpen your files that are too dull to be useful.
I am doing my second one now, and it's fairly course. It's been in there about 12 hours and I think it needs more. If it's fine it would be quicker, but an hour doesn't seem like much for such a weak acid! It has to actually eat away some of the steel.
No offense, but I gotta say that you dropped and damaged the knife.It didn't fail you, you failed it.
I'm very dubious about this: if acid (vinegar) removed a layer of metal then surely it removes from the tips of the teeth as well? That would be more likely to blunt than sharpen? There are a LOT of these videos on the same supposed effect but none of them I have seen ever attempts to quantify how much better the files are after 'sharpening'.
How did this frame turn out for you? I'm looking for one. It looks very nice!
Have not used it yet. Unfortunately, the project was put on the back burner but has recently moved up in priority. I'm hoping to do more videos soon.
You can de-rust and clean files, but you cannot sharpen them. Any edged tool gets dull over time. All the acetic acid in vinegar does is etch the steel.
When people take God’s name in vain it ruins the video
That's my favorite part!
This will happen on every otf if dinged the same way to block the blade. It did not fail you, you failed it. Just take a small file and carefully remove the edge of the ding and it will fire like new. And don't ding it on the opening. If you ding a liner hard enough it can block a normal folding knife from opening or closing in a similar way. If you ding your AR 15 in some spot it will fail too, same with AK 74 and many other systems. I have and use a lot of OTF knives and if you care for them they will care for you, like everything.
My fisher space pen dings like that so i have to ream the opening
Though I was watching trailer park boys!!! 😆
hey Ricky!
and Yukie is there ! :)
So this is how you will slab the maple tree! looks really cool!
Where is this? looks like a nice walk!
hogue is garbage. had an otf and a side auto both fail on me
Pains me to say this but I agree, the thing broke again, won't open too tight. Back to a Gerber.
tanis....yeaa how is the powersaw mill workin for you ?? im thinkin of buyin one too.
It performs well, i would recommend purchasing ripping chains to go with it. They last much longer and seem to cut faster.
@@madzack7607 ok n tks ..i might do that too grab bar n chain ...by the looks of it , you could have use one for yourself lol cut that nice peice of maple wood.
Some use a flattened copper pipe.
... and I a piece of hard wood.
Jasco metal will do the same thing, with deeper cutting action. and if you are adventurous, battery acid.
Shouldn’t be too hard of a repair if you can weld. The rest of the frame seems to be in good shape.
The rest of the frame is in fairly decent shape, I have considered a weld repair and boxing it in.
@@madzack7607 I would repair it. It’s not like you can make it any worse than it already is

Thanks for the information! I will save them for a possible power upgrade in the future.
The title should read How Clean A File With Vinegar.
Except that the file is sharpened because the vinegar eats away at the metal. So your comment is outright stupid.
Dilute H2 S04 baking soda after
is there a way of contacting you i have a few questions in regards of this mill
I suggest using a solution of bicarbonate of soda after the acid bath. This will neutralize the acid.
itsteand of picking gunk out why not just use some very fine steel wool
Looks like you have that file marked off to make a knife. Either way, you mentioned your files get clogged. Rub chalk on them before using them. It prevents that from happening.
Hahha. Best start ever. Get all the trash off the bench.
Watch the original guy to do it AvE
They don't make them like they used to, buy a set right now and take a close look at the machining, it's utter garbage. If you've got an old set that was actually made in Canada or the UK, keep that stuff in good condition, they simply don't make them like that anymore. Hell the angle files mostly come twisted.
The mill is a cool design
Cleaning a file is not sharpening it.
Acid can, and does, sharpen files. This popular mechanics article covers a commercial "system" but it's an acid bath sharpening system nonetheless. They used a microscope to prove it worked. The Scientific Method really is a powerful tool! ;-) books.google.com/books?dq=Chemical+file+sharpening&hl=en&id=seMDAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA64&ots=Bse9zY6U2B&pg=PA64&sa=X&sig=_zpkvcVtRj51XcbcOImlNjJ-y3w&source=bl&ved=0ahUKEwibldXZ-YrQAhXBFZQKHW8cBGwQ6AEIPDAE#v=onepage&q=Chemical%20file%20sharpening&f=false
@@giottolaudo7672 The article you linked is essentially an ad for a cleaning kit. Did you read it? In don't think you understand what the scientific method means, either. First one starts with an observation which in turn leads to forming a hypothesis. That's steps one and two. The third step is to test the hypothesis and arrive at a theory - step four. The files used in the magazine test didn't look nearly as worn as the file in the video. It was shiny from all the wear before the vinegar and shiny after the vinegar. Acid won't magically repair tools. IMHE, soaking dulled files in acid does very little, almost nothing. Hence, the hypothesis is that acid has a very mild effect on sharpening files. No, I have not tested this in hopes of forming a theory.
@@felixf5211 Nothing "magically" repairs anything. And I don't *care* how you think the files in the article "looked" that's an *opinion* not based on objective testing or verified by actual examination of the items in question. I'm *especially* uninterested in your opinion regarding my understanding of the scientific method. Indeed I'm uninterested in explaining to you why you are wrong. Feel free to declare victory, secret king. Run along and gamma elsewhere. I'm going to block you now, kay? Life is too short to waste on gamma posturing.
@@giottolaudo7672 Words have meanings. The scientific method is a defined term - feel free to google it. I'm not sure why you're this upset over a link to an ad presented as an article that you posted and obviously did not read. Not my fault. Can't speak for the scientific community, but on a personal level I'd love to see your explanation of the scientific method. The folks who think the Earth is flat have their own take on the process. Please share your wisdom. BTW, I had no idea what 'gamma posturing.' meant, so I ran a quick google search. This was the most relevant result - "Gamma motor neurons control tone of muscle. In decerebrate rigidity, the reticulospinal tracts are cut, so the gamma motor neurons start firing excessively." Given the context, this makes no sense, either. Really, are you OK? Maybe call a friend? Edit: doesn't look like your block worked.
I've done this. It works. The acid eats a bit off the surface of the file, effectively making the biting edges sharper.

remember to neutralize the acid of the vinegar using baking soda and water solution.
Craig Szwed Vinegar is not that acidic.
@@user-iw2mo7yu4d i'm necroposting but... have you ever mixed baking soda and vinegar?
@@expertoflizardcorrugation3967 I do and in know vinegar is mild compare to other acid such as hydrochloric acid etc so its not necessary to dilute the solution before you dispose it
@@user-iw2mo7yu4d the man was joking. We know that it's not needed
My old double cut bastard had so much rust on it it just slide like ice on mild steel... Guess I was bored... so I put 5% white vin in a pc of tubing and brushed the heck out of the file scraped it some with a deck screw and put it in for 5 hrs. took it out wire brushed and stuck it in Baking soda and dish soap water and soaked over night. Brushed again... detailed some with a screw and back in vin... soaked 5 hrs and wire brushed again and nuetalized in soda water again... then brushed and sprayed it with Knocker loose and let set for 3 hrs and wired brushed again... All total 8 hrs in vin... and over a hr of labor. LOL NOT COST EFFECTIVE BUT THE FILE IS 80% OF THE NEW SIMMONS I JUST BOUGHT FOR $17 and i am impressed... silly thing cuts and it looked almost like it had laid in a field for several years.
Just sharpened up a file the other day using heated vinegar. (It will work faster). Worked great! As a plus it forces a patina on the metal which will help prevent rusting, mine turned nearly black. I just made sure to lightly oil it afterwards. Thanks for the vid, gave me some good ideas.
