I have one exactly like it. Found it in a field. After restoration, it was a couple of decades before I put it to work. Its a fantastic tool. Its used for jobs I formerly did with loppers or small chain saw. Very efficient.
You always surprise me with your innovative ideas when repairing items when parts are not available or just improving on the original idea! You are a 😊 true craftsman. If I was young again, as a perfectionist I would really enjoy and excel in that type of work.
@@zoiders That wasn’t the primary purpose of copicing, it was a process to produce wooden poles of hazel or ash, harvested on an eight to ten year cycle. The poles were used to make a large variety of objects in pre-industrial society.
I enjoy watching tool restoration videos (yours included), and I gotta say: I am *AMAZED* at how many different methods there are to remove rust. Electrolysis, chemicals, or just plain grinding it off. It's fascinating!
The camera work was so good I could smell the rust. Excellent! Great job on this old school machete, loved the handle and finish work on the blade! Always a treat to see your techniques. Thanks & Cheers!
Absolutely outstanding work, she's a beautiful peice. I have an identical machete only a different maker, the makers mark is a straight razor. I have been inspired to work on mine. Thank you. I'll putt up a pic when it's all done. Keep up the great work.
Wonderful work! Love love love the handle. The next time you have dried leather like that soak it in Neatsfoot oil for a couple days. Thats how we restore old leather on saddles and bridles and all.
Top-Arbeit! Ich sehe mir gerne Deine Videos an und habe mir auch schon ab und zu mal eine Bier-Empfehlung gegönnt. Bleib dran, das ist top!! Grüsse aus dem Ruhrpott 👋
Ooooh a lovely find from the steel waste picking. Nicely done and loved the handle. Very clever with the "Just Do It", I really laughed out loud at that. Thanks for the upload!
In all honesty and from all what i've seen in the restoring and knife smith niche, this video is by far one of the best i saw. Everything is very well explained, the tools are very clean, the work is clear to understand, there's humour and fun, the workshop seems clean, the safety is respected...And so many other things. Now for the machete it is sooo beautifully restored! BRAVO my friend and thanks for being so generous in sharing your knowledge without selfishness!
Great work mate. Always a pleasure to see your channel pop up in alerts. As always your attention to detail is amazing. Now I have to wait for your new video.
what an amazing transformation! I would love something that sharp looking and SHARP in my garden work. I was surprised with the original leather handle...then thought why not! easy on the hand...now we have gloves. Wonderful work!
thank you for the aluminum wobble, it cured my depression
Oh Kalen I'm glad it brought light to your day. I hope you get well soon

People like you are one of the most underrated
Coconutty. Thank you very much. This is a big compliment
Fixing the edges and polishing the blade - you got my like!

An NTR video makes my Sunday afternoon. Leffe Blonde is in my top 5 world beers too.
Hey to see you so soon after upload makes my Sunday. Best regards Richard

Thanks berk
In the UK we'd call one of these a bill or a billhook. Used for hedgerow work originally. Pretty cool find and excellent work.
Ah thank you for this info. And thank you for your comment
I’m from the US and I’m fairly certain we also call them billhooks 🙂
Oh and I’m 99% sure they’re called a “billhook” blade because of their shape. Just for the few that might not know 😁
Not so much hedgerow work but what is known as "copicing" which is how woodland is kept accessible to live stock and walkers.

2. Didn't know you could do that with mdf. Very cool 😁
Hey Frank, I was surprised how effective it is
Wow! That compass needs its own restoration video. Great job on the billhook. [chef’s kiss!]

Good to see you back, I missed your vid. Great presentation
Hey Robert it took a while this time since I'm back to working fulltime since August and workshop on the weekends. I have a seven workday week now 😅
Beautiful restoration ,
A handle that was great for this build
👍👍👍
Thanks fellow
Very beautiful restoration 👏👍👍👍 like my friend 🙂🤝
I love the idea of the MDF disc sharpening.
I'm gonna use that idea in my video if you don't mind.
Go for it. Maybe leave a hint to my channel
I have never seen MDF sharpening before. Very interesting. 👍🏻
Yes interesting indeed. But you don't sharpen with the MDF put with the polishing compound you put on top of it.
Waow you really improved the final result with the new handle. Beautiful 😊
That's great. Glad to hear that you liked it so much
I can’t believe how beautiful it came out! Incredible job!

Hey Vickie glad you liked this joke 😂
Last year I bought one of these in Italy. they are great for removing unwanted vegetation. Mind your fingers because they can be sharp.
Thanks for the info and yes its very sharp now!
