- Good day! This video is about restoring very old rusty files and rasps. This kit was abandoned for years in my grandfather's old garage. I decided that this video should also be here. Now they are doing their job perfectly. You can see this in my previous and next videos.
Check out my other videos on TH-cam • restoration of a very ...

Some of the files did not fit very tightly in the handles and had to be reinforced with epoxy glue. It is now an indispensable tool.

That is a big lot of tools and very ambitious to do it in one video. I was surprised to see so many completed:)
Hey! It was really hard, but I did it! Thank you😊
Well that’s 11 minutes and 54 seconds of my life that I’ll never get back… but that’s okay because I thought your video was great, and I enjoyed watching you restore the files. they look wonderful. 👍🏻
Good job sir!
It is especially nice to use a tool that belonged to a relative. Kind of sad those that come after our generation cannot expect to use much from our time - at least they can use their grandparents tools if they have them. 😜
You are absolutely right
Need to restore the vice
Ok! Thanks
Nice job.
Thank you!
amazing work dear...subscribed...👍
Thank you!
Greetings buddy, cool project, great result 👍
Thanks 👍
good job👍
Thank you! 😊
I have no idea what you initially soaked the files in at the beginning. The usual way to make files work great again is to soak them in some type acid. The acid etches the metals out of the file teeth and even makes the teeth sharper with the acid etching as well.
I used a rust remover. I agree that the acid does it well. I will keep in mind for the next projects. But I can assure you that files are working very well now. I use them every day. Thanks for the comment.
What solution did you soak them in?
Rustoleum Rust Remover
You should restore that little axe!
As spotted in the previous video
In the spare wood casket
Wait soon on my channel!) Everything old will become new!
3:50 wow, if the liquid can do that to iron files just imagine what it can do to the skin of your hands!
Any acid will damage the skin, especially a strong acid such as HCL.
But you don’t show hat you poured over them?
Rustoleum Rust Remover
Sorry, maybe I missed where you inform us as to what you're using during the restoration??
I think that is Rustoleum Rust Remover.
Nicely
Thanks!
I have a collection of these things... i think i have around 24... I lost a little while back
It's a pity that you lost them.
Next you must restore that ugly steel hammer you use to put the handles on the files
This ugly hammer will be refurbished soon too! Thank you for your comment!
1:00 rusty files and World's rustiest vice!
LOL
you can make a knife with yhat file.
Thank you for your advice! But I don't have the equipment for that yet. And now I use files every day. I like the theme of creating knives from files! I plan for the future!
Good video, looks like ur vice and ball peen hammer could use some help 2.
i just wasted 10 mins of time for nothing...the worst restoration i have ever see..Unsubscribing from here.
I am grateful for the feedback. This is the very first experience. If you point out errors, I will correct them in the future! Thank you.
As my dearly departed Mom would often say, “Don’t let the door hit you on your way out.”
Not another Asmr video… really? Do
You really think we need more of this on TH-cam? You’re doing tool repair. People that do tool repair and/or use tools aren’t into this weird sh t.
Nice job only thi g different in the hole of the handles put some epoxy in before the file helps from the files turning in time inside the handle nice job tho all the best
Good job bringing that many files back to life, I'm sure they will perform well now. Don't forget a light oil or wax will prevent rust reforming. ALSO hammers and files do not mix, watch out for shrapnel !
I got it already! Sorry for the unsafe work. Thanks for your feedback!
Hey bro nice restoration, I'm sure they will work perfectly again! I have a question, what is that liquid called that you use on those handles? I'm restoring some files too and I really like that vintage colour that it has!
Hello! Yes, they work great. It's a stain liquid.
@@alexrestoration7013 can you tell me what brand it is? I won't tell anyone😉
Files aren’t restored this way. Rust has affected its teeth and in order to restore it you need to anneal it first and sharpen the teeth and then harden it
Thanks for the feedback! Restored based on technical capabilities. By the way, the files work great.
Could you point us in the direction of resources that show us how to go about this? Unfortunately, I don't have much experience with this and don't have anyone in my world to show me. I would really appreciate your guidance. Thank you.
very good result
Thank you! 😊 friend
So how does cleaning off the rust make these usable files? Rust would remove the sharper edges that were thinner steel.
Yes I agree. Some think using acid will somehow sharpen the teeth but I can't see this.
Vinegar will sharpen the file, but very little.
HCL is the best for sharpening the files, because it etches the metal and makes the teeth sharp again.
