Antique Foster Bros. Meat Cleaver Restoration (Chef’s / Butcher’s knife)
In this video I restore a Foster Brother's antique meat cleaver that I found at an estate sale for 5 dollars. I start off by removing the original handles and then all of the rust. After that I sand down the imperfections. Then polish it and use Birchwood Casey's Perma Blue. I shape new handles for it out of figured walnut and stabilized them using Wood Juice. I made the spacers out of G10, then attach them all with brass pins and epoxy.
The final product came out great, the cold blue gives the steel a nice rich and varied blue color. Direct sunlight really brings out the detail and color. So, at the end of the video I have added some still shots to better capture and those details.
I hope you enjoy the video!

102 Year Old Stanley #5 Plane (TOOL RESTORATION / PRESERVATION)
มุมมอง 64K4 ปีที่แล้ว
In this video I am restoring a Stanley Bailey No. 5 Bench Plane. It is a type 11. This type was been made between 1910 and 1918. This plane belong to a friend of mine who recently passed away. It's been sitting out back on his workbench the last couple years, unused and exposed to the elements. After he passed away I bought it from the family so that I could restore it. Originally, I thought it...
100 Year Old Stanley 71-1/2 Router Plane TOOL RESTORATION
มุมมอง 57K5 ปีที่แล้ว
In this video I am restoring a Stanley number 71 1/2 router plane. It is a type 4. This type would've been made between 1911 and 1924. On the plane body the patent date is October, 29 1901. I got this plane from an estate sale about a month ago. I bought a bunch of stuff together and probably ended up paying only a couple bucks for it... It was in really rough condition when I got it. As you ca...

    Beautiful restoration, just as a tip you can get better results with the brass let them on lemon juice for a night so in the morning you just go and wipe it up with paper, seriously it does all the job and we no need to use metal brushe that might scratch it a little bit. IMHO...

    I hope this is helpful, as I haven't seen anyone mention it. BOTH the No 5C Type 11 and Type 12 had 3 Patent stamps. The way you tell them apart is by the adjustment nut (knob). There were two sizes of adjustment nuts made: An adjustment nut 1" in diameter (called a 'small') is only on the type 11 and an adjustment nut 1 1/4" in diameter (called a 'large') is a type 12. There is no way to distinguish a type 11 from a type 12 by just the number of listed patents:).

    What kind of wire brush are you using on your buffer and what speed. I’ve really been struggling trying to clean up the corrugations.

    • @acraftsmansarsenal
      @acraftsmansarsenal 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It’s a Forney brand, fine bristle wire wheel

    @sjchapin 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    What specific wire wheels were you using on the grinder and the Dremel?

    • @acraftsmansarsenal
      @acraftsmansarsenal 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The wire wheel on the grinder is a Forney brand, fine bristle (which I highly recommend). The wire wheel that I used with the Dremel is not intended for use with a Dremel and it’s just a “no name”. I couldn’t tell you where to find them. I think I got that one at an estate sale.

    I love the fact that you made it fully functional again, but still kept most of the pitting. You conserved the history and the scars of this beautyful tool. Just imagine how many hands and people used these scissors before you, and how many decades of life are still left on it. Thanks for sharing.

    What material did you use for the gasket? I need to change the gasket on mine, leaked on me and almost singed my hand. Probably should change the crusty felt (the filter part) too, didn't think to just use a big cotton ball but that seems to work just fine.

    • @acraftsmansarsenal

      I cut it out of a sheet of rubber but I think a cork gasket would work better.

  • @BenNawrath
    @BenNawrath 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    What I’ve done for the brass knobs with knurling is either only run the wire wheel with the “grain”, so it gets in between, or use a nylon wheel on my dremel to get in there. Not the scotchbrite, but like nylon bristles. Works awesome. Not really applicable here, but rustoleum makes clear paint. It’s great for metals where you like the patina but don’t want it to rust more, like the handles on the drill press I did.

    The proper way to light one of those things is to create a gas pocket with the palm of your hand and move your hand sideways and spin the flint wheel with the palm. You can use it to light the dynamite fuse as you holler "shootin' coal".

    @arncj18 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    great a lot of good decisions, a lot of people over polish and sand away the character of the casted handles, or etch them in evaporust then remove too much material. You struck a great balance. these things don't need to look brand new, while looking brand new. That is the trick

    It's a Bailey, not a Stanley.

    • @wwtrkr3189
      @wwtrkr3189 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It's a Stanley. Bailey was the guy that designed the original back in the 1860's. Stanley bought the design and then employed him. Hence the much imitated Bailey design, still produced by dozens of manufacturers up to this day. It was truly revolutionary after millennia of wooden planes, but this one, is a Stanley and they were the only company to use the Bailey name. The type numbers referred to are a system used by modern collectors to define age (type 11 1910-1918) as Stanley developed and improved the plane design over the decades, until (in my opinion) they started dropping quality in favor of cost after the Great Depression of 1929. It really is a fascinating history.
