What I like about this video is that not everything goes completely perfectly, but you just roll with it and still come out with a beautiful product. Well done!
I really liked how you were willing to change tools shaping the handle and admit that your first choice might not have been the best. Also an ex chef for 20+ years I’m even more pleased to see someone call a meat cleaver a meat cleaver. Personally I like some curve on my blade but not quite as much as you have here. I like to be able to nick a cutlet but also separate a loin of beef on the bone. But that’s very subjective, a brilliant restoration, very well done.
Looking on Craigslist earlier today I see a vintage cleaver I think I might want to purchase and make my first attempt at restoring. Imagine my utter shock when I open TH-cam and see in my suggested videos a video of someone restoring THE EXACT SAME CLEAVER.
Yep...I was right, beautiful workmanship as usual. But why you would use a hacksaw to cut wood when it seems like you have every tool/piece of equipment known to man and know it's wrong is actually very funny and definitely adds to the video. But I guess you had your reason.
That's a good solid old cleaver. Glad to see it going back into service again. Your knife making skills will improve with practice and watching the experts. It'll do the job, that's the main thing.
Duckilla 12 the only reason a hack saw is not good for wood is Bc the teeth are so small. Bandsaws have larger teeth and they move much faster. And are also easier to make precise cuts with
Btw I’m watching this because I recently came across a vintage F Dick 7x60 made in Germany. It was sold to me by an antique vender with ties to the Newton family and reportedly came right out of Joe Newton’s shed, actually sons shed, or grandsons shed because Joe has been dead a while and his son recently died so yeah got to love those grandchildren. Anyways I am going to try and restore it it doesn’t need much still has the original handle not split just a little rust. Seeing you remove rust with sandpaper well thanks for that.
I actually have to comment before watching because I'm thinking what is he going to do with that mess! But I'm sure it will be a beautiful piece of workmanship! Can't wait till the end!
Solid work. The camera work was clean, nicely edited, you used electrolysis (always a fan favorite), the handle turned out well. I thoroughly enjoyed the video. Side note: you're talented enough, throw in a curve ball video every once in awhile. Something that is completely unlike the others. Be bold. But keep it coming with the usual stuff. I have needs.
It js my belief that while the restoration vids are quite awesome, some of these guys purposely get their stuff rusty juat to use in the vids. Ffs guys it doesnt have to be rusty in order to need a restoration
Been looking for a good heavy cleaver with a large handle for a minute. They sure don't make them like they used to. Even the German ones feel like they're made for guys who wear medium sized gloves.
So I guess in the future, use the hacksaw to cut the brass rod and the bandsaw to cut the wood so the people watching can stop worrying if the next frame is fingers cut by the bandsaw, lol, still pretty entertaining video
Those that can,do. Those that can't, watch, with some, waiting to criticize. You just couldn't enjoy the process. Anyway, well done Sir. That's a bonefied zombie killer.
Ha, you got me to subscribe. Some of your restorations are something else, but I like where you are going. I see you are learning, along with the rest of us. For instance the handle, you took the time to grind off the brass rods and shape the wood, but ended up cutting a taper on the band saw and cut all that work off anyway. ??? Also, as an aspect to restoration is duplicating some of the methods used to make the peace in the first place, along with eliminating some of the ridiculous bits. You did good tossing the collar, but you didn't "rivet" the brass pins. The spreading out the ends before grinding them smooth will prevent them from working them selves out. Also the gap in the wood long the tang, I would thing filling with epoxy could help protect the metal underneath the wood, from rusting in the future.
You can't tell if it's mahogany, cherry, red oak, or a number of other woods, by the color. You have to look at the grain, the flecs, the rays and the end grain, to see the pores, to properly identify a species of wood. Just my thoughts from Tucson.
You know what? You did all right. Quite a few hairy moments there -thought you were gonna lose a few fingers on the bandsaw. And your choice of tools was a bit sketchy. But you did alright 👍
Dude how can you not have a saw? I don’t have half the things you have but I have a saw, it’s one of the very basic tools along with the hammer, screwdrivers and a pencil
I know that pain when your shop is set up for wrong type of material... 99% of what I work with is wood and each time I have to do something with metal improvisation starts.
A question I've had but never asked on many knife restoration videos is: if you're going to grind the blade down past all the pitting anyway, why bother with the electric de-rusting?
Good question that I've never been asked. Rust wears down your sandpaper/whatever abrasive you're using much quicker. It's much easier in my experience to remove the rust before doing any sanding or grinding.
Good job, Beautiful satin finish on the blade...New scales are ok but.... Why you didn't put te bolster back?If you restoring something you need to do this like it was....And the clever had to have a square tip,the round tip that it have is from lot of years of use and abuse.... I was enjoying your video and its a good job!
Is anyone else going to mention how dangerous it was to put something woth a blade onto those saws and belt sanders? If that had gotten caught or if the machine threw it it could have ended so badly
Anyone who works with blades should understand how to use their tools safely. Usually the sharpening is done last, so it”s really not any more dangerous than working with any kind of plate steel. ALL power tool usage can end badly.
handles look like mahogany
Definitely not mahogany
Es ist Buche.
Something about these videos makes feel soo relaxed. Nice clear video with no unnecessary talking and good info when you use products to help restore.
What I like about this video is that not everything goes completely perfectly, but you just roll with it and still come out with a beautiful product. Well done!

A brass cap on the handle would have finished that off a treat , lovely looking piece nice work.👍

Where did you see?
@@IronManRestoration it was in Michigan, USA
Anyone else terrified he was going to lose a thumb while cutting the rivets?
Colin Schmidt no
Iron Man Restoration No
Дурака не жалко!
Hi🚭🚬😎👍👌🤙🤟🤘⚓
yep... only a idiot keeps his thumb out like that.

The outcome is what counts... Looks great!!
Wood looked like Cherry or Red Oak. Came out nice, enjoyed it.
Actually the best Restoration Channel
You haven't seen "my mechanics?" More attention to detail there.
Agree with My Mechanics, also Hand Tool Rescue for more mechanical restorations.
That handle is sweet. Great job.
awesome...
thanks for no music 👍👍👍
“Hacksaw is not ideal for cuting wood“
Literally 3 seconds late he is using a band saw
Duckilla 12 the only reason a hack saw is not good for wood is Bc the teeth are so small. Bandsaws have larger teeth and they move much faster. And are also easier to make precise cuts with
Yes but couldn't he have just used the bandsaw to cut the wood instead of hacksaw?
Hala Al-Hadeethi he probably could have unless that board was too long to cut comfortably with the bandsaw.
@@thomasteniente5209 fair enough!
@@xXHaloOshiXx I thought the same thing.

You're really full of tricks!
Very nice and clean job!!!
Turned out great! Top craftsmanship again!!
Nice work!!
great work👍

Fantastic restoration
Like my Grandfather always said no such thing as the wrong tool if it gets the job done.
Highlordratick your grandfather said true
Your grandfather was a fucking idiot! That's why someone coined the phrase: "The right tool for the right job".
Really nice 👍 love the handle
Nicely done and a beautiful result.😁
Very nicely done.. those handles turned out beautiful...
Top job!
WOW!!!! That's one beautiful restoration.....
Good job man.
Tom Chitwood yes
Never fail beautiful craftsmanship!👍🏻❤️😊
Please use protection gloves, security first, btw excellent work, amigo!
Good choice, well done. 👍🏻👍🏻
I'm happy that you are not one of those restorers who feel the inner urge to mirror polish every piece of metal they see.
Super jest to odrestaurowane ten cały tasak pozdrawiam serdecznie 👍👍👍👍
A very good job,well done sir!👍👍
Gift cards are the best for mixing and spreading epoxies
Great restoration! I am going to take a wild stab at this and say that it is either maple or mahogany
Well done looks great
Pretty nice! Ready to use one more!
Bravo pour la qualité de l'image 👍
Beautiful video. Looking forward to new projects like this.
midei my friend I have one yes like it alI find on old house

Sweet 👍🏻 👍🏻
6:32 That oil can is named Gary. 9:59 And so were those clamps! Man this guy likes naming a lot of things "Gary."

Nice work as always🙂👍🏼
So there’s really not going to be a paper test ok
Because it wouldn't cut it lol
Very nice...
You forgot to put that cap at the top of the handle back on
He said he left it off on purpose
screw that cap. it was stupid
Those that can,do. Those that can't, watch, with some, waiting to criticize. You just couldn't enjoy the process. Anyway, well done Sir. That's a bonefied zombie killer.
Masterful.

Nice job you got another subscriber.
Have you considered using a spoke shave to save time shaping the handles on your restorations? Probably save time and sand paper.
Amazing work!!!
Good job!
I love these.
Are you kidding me? That was ridiculously cool
Impressive
Looks to me like red oak. You could have countersunk those rivet holes on the handle for security..Nice job overall.
Very good restoration bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍
uh.... duh, its tree wood!
You should restore a old saw so you don't have to use a hacksaw
Надо было востановить ручку в старом дизайне )
Muito bom. Brasil. 👍👍
I have the strange feeling because of color the Handle is a cherry wood!
You can't tell if it's mahogany, cherry, red oak, or a number of other woods, by the color. You have to look at the grain, the flecs, the rays and the end grain, to see the pores, to properly identify a species of wood. Just my thoughts from Tucson.
Gangs of New York
Who Dat Dude? Where is it?
Un trabajo que me encanta.
Try flattening a tiny spoon to make a useful tool for mixing epoxy
Amazing restoration! And i think its beech wood.
I also think that it's Beechwood. A good guess.
I think the difficulty you had in cutting the wood was karma for destroying that beautiful original handle.
Where's the top cap ?... no !
You know what? You did all right. Quite a few hairy moments there -thought you were gonna lose a few fingers on the bandsaw. And your choice of tools was a bit sketchy. But you did alright 👍

Что помешало поставить защитный колпак обратно?
Забыл наверное.
Are you restoring these as decorative pieces, or do you intend them to be used? Are you using food safe materials?
A Rebuild, not a Restoration!
Great restoration project! Is the wood...oak !
Dennis LeBlanc pain not oak
Wood from a tree that grew somewhere
U funny! Lol! Using a hacksaw when you have a band saw.
bro I will go to the dollar store and buy you a cheap hand saw lol
m t where is that store
Uses slow ass hacksaw.....
Next shot uses super fast bandsaw.
Good job, Beautiful satin finish on the blade...New scales are ok but.... Why you didn't put te bolster back?If you restoring something you need to do this like it was....And the clever had to have a square tip,the round tip that it have is from lot of years of use and abuse....

Странно что имея станок он отпиливал доску ножевкой
Мазохист? Нет? )))
Did you zap the rust off the knife in the beginning??? What was the deal with all the pliers and wires and metallic pieces and sodium bicarbonate??
В идеале не хватает рисунка, травлением ! Лайк !
Great work! Why no heat treatment?
Why didn't you use the power saw instead of the hacksaw to cut the wood?
綺麗
7:45 u don have a wood saw or somtin?
If he did, don't you think he would have used it?
well he did have "somtin"
Good
The handles look like oak,cannot tell if it’s red or white,but oak.
Is anyone else going to mention how dangerous it was to put something woth a blade onto those saws and belt sanders? If that had gotten caught or if the machine threw it it could have ended so badly
