Matt this was a great step by step video! Thank you for sharing the history behind the clamp! Looking forward to the tool box restoration in your next video.
Hi P & J! Happy 4th! 🇺🇸. Thanks for the compliments. I'm actually working on the toolbox as I type this! Dumb rust! People need to take better care of their things 😁
Very nice. I had a few sets of those years ago. I have modern ones now. My fingers hurt watching you scrape the wood. I use to do that for doing wood work in boats back in Fl.
Preserving is just as important as restoring! Another great job, Matt! Sorry I'm late getting here again... I have got to stop having so many TH-cam tabs open at once lol. I need a different system, ha-ha. Thanks for the shout out. You guys have a great week! ~Lynn
Hey there Alex thanks for stopping by! My favorite combination for wooden handles or tools in general. Just feels great in the hands, looks good and protects.
Restoring autos is a million times larger scale! Similar in approach, one piece, one component at a time. Steel, rubber, fabric, paint, glass, and more! Full respect for complete auto restorations and the time/discipline and patience it takes!
Very nice preservation Matt. That wood cleaned up beautifully. Those old school tool makers were true craftsman and artists.
They really were! They were the first spark of the tool industry.
That clamp really cleaned up. Looks great
Thanks Bill, it's always a surprise to see what's under the dirt!

@@MattsGarage1791 TY! Happy Independence Day Matt! Have fun restoring the tool box. 🧰
Boy, that takes me back to high school shop class! Great job!
You're not THAT old Ashley!
@MattsGarage1791 probably an underfunded class with prehistoric tools of the past. But they are a classic!

Thanks Rob. Looks great, still holds tight. Not sure if I'll keep it yet...can always use more clamps,!
Yah, the scraping is rough on the fingers for large pieces.

It certainly is! Always giving an item only what it needs to be 'saved' from the scrap heap of history! How are all of your furry family doing?
@@MattsGarage1791 Absolutely! Doing good. It has taken almost two months to hear Polar Bears bark, but he finally let one go the other day lol.
Very nice work on that clamp Matt have a great day here from Ontario Canada ❤️❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦😎
Thanks! A lot of times these old clamps are fairly beat up, but this one is solid and ready to be put back to work.
Great video Matt. Man do you have a talent. Makes my fingers hurt lol. You definitely have patience and great gift. 😊
Thanks Monica. Sanding is cheaper than therapy! 😆
Lovely clean up Matt 👍🏻. Oddly enough, I've never used a wax finish before, must go out and buy some and give it a go.

I use tools to redo autos . You restore tools using tools. Great job as always !

13th done Great effort, stay connected! New supporter friend.
Many thanks and welcome to the garage! I'm currently working on a vintage Waterloo toolbox.
TH-cam Algorithm's, Had to physically look up your channel to see latest video. Yes still subscribed....grrr.
Oh yah. I received a crash course from good friend Mrs Chrystal at Flat Tire Farm on improving my content.
