Rusty Sword Restoration - Famous Gladius

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 มิ.ย. 2018
- This is the restoration of the French artillery short sword Gladius. It's an 1831 Model. This one was made in 1832. As I wanted to keep all the details, marks and history I've decided to do it in a more professional way and without using any tools at all.
This gentleman is quickly becoming my favorite restorer. I love how he left the wear on it.
I like how he didn't grind it all down to make it all look perfect. You kept the old beaten up look to it still which is amazing.
Belshe Rivera Nah thats pretty old piece he didnt wanted to damage it
I really like watching people restore weapons and stuff like that. It’s always so relaxing and the object looks so gorgeous and glorious.
beautiful job sir, love the patina on that blade. I am glad you didn't ruin it by buffing it, gorgeous piece of history.
Love that handle.
I literally know nothing about swords, or anything he does.
And I still watch every video.
But why do I like it?
Maybe the sounds?
SkinnyErectus maybe u just like the fact that he restores swords that are rusted and look like they don't work but he fixes them to look brand new
SkinnyErectus lol the only thing I know about swords is that they’re good for stabbing people

I want a sword so I can chopped some people's heads clean off
Like every asshole in the comments
You did a fantastic job of restoring that sword.
Dwayne Wladyka Polish surname I see what's up
Great job. You cleaned it up beautifully and you kept the character intact.
Beautiful work. Just the right amount of restoration.
I feel so stupid. When you put the acid on the blade it blew my mind how quickly the steel started to shine, but then i realized it was just bubbles. End result blew my mind again though
Do u go to school like no jock serusly scien class coverd this

Very good job! Saved all the original markings which is very important.
Glad to see you back. Great work!
This is such a brilliant video, an inspiration to all of us who try to restore anything. Keep up the good work
I really love how much you enjoying fixing old stuff that no one thinks anyone can fix i just love how these people fix and use old objects🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂😁😁😁
Andre did it
He definitely doed it
jonnywaselectric this needs pinned and a heart
he do'ed it
He sure did, my friend. He sure did.
Well yeah or he wold of posted the vido
Fantastic vid! I really appreciate the captions during the process, it's interesting to see the tools and materials you're using!
no shortcuts , no grinder , just a man turning craft into art
I'm glad you didn't put a new handle on it. It looks amazing!
I honestly never knew I could be so satisfied watching these type of videos!
I loved all the new techniques! Glad to see you back!
Thank you andre for not using a grinder, or making your own handle. The sword is the best restoration ive seen on youtube, and now you can hide it in the bathroom in case someone breaks into your house.
Liked the historical information on the sword.
Just a pity that they were inaccurate because it is an infantry fang mule 1831 and not an artillery mle 1816
Restoring the hilt was absolutely mesmerizing!
Thank you very much! In my great father's mansion, near Orléans, there is many swords like that, same style same handle, and I really didn't know where it can come from! I mean like you say they look like the roman swords but they appear be more recent! My great father said that his uncle bought many military material after the WW1, and particularly from the 2nd empire of Napoléon III but I never ask him about those swords.
They are in the attic with some helmets, cavalry's helmets, some bayonets and some breastplates. But it's my uncle wich inherit from this house, and so the furnitures in :/
I had one of this kind of sword. Very similar on look specially on the handle but blade is about half inch width and longer length.
Great job! That rust remover is amazing!
Beautiful! Love your restorations!
i don't know how i get here. But i love this! Amazing!
Turned out beautiful! Very nice piece .👍👍
It's great how you didn't try to get rid of every single imperfection, the blemishes show the history while at the same time you made a rusty mess into a beautiful sword
Nice work 👍
Nice work.... Beautiful sword!
It's good to be back isn't it? Keep up the good work
Nice job. Keeps the sword’s character. I find wire scouring pads are good too.
Nunca vi coisas tão incríveis
Beautiful job my friend
I look forward to part 2 where you finish the restoration. Great work so far.
it is finished. This was a real restoration no fake.
Damn that's an old artillery sword!!! Cool find
this is so relaxing and satisfying! more than just music to my ears. it is also music to my eyes.
Eeh... that sounds kind of weird..
Put the headphone on your eyes
no. i ain't using headphone. i'm using eyephone.
you know somethings wrong when you can see music and hear objects
yup. tha's pretty frustating.
Great job. Watched several of your videos tonight and had to subscribe:) really love watching how the pieces come out:)
So nice to not see power tools for once!!. Very nice job!! 😊😊😊
Very impressed with this restoration
brilliant work andre!!
How much time do u put into this
5 mins and 57 seconds of absolute perfection
jams did i find jimins lost jams????
wow youre very delicate! they should definately hire you in museums for restorations like these
Been waiting for a new video thank God your back
That acid solution is cool, you can see it working instantly
All restorations should be this way.
That is a beautiful sword. Looks like something Perseus would use on Medusa or Achilles would use.
It’s actual a french bandsman’s hanger from the nineteenthcentury
Ok I have to know what the acid you are using to clean it with could u tell me .and that was a pretty Damm awesome job u did .cool
The outcome was amazing and I really like the fact that you didn't put any machinery on it.
Beautiful piece
That's gorgeous
Definitely a Gladius sword the curves on the blade give it away very powerful sword especially in battle looks heavy
What a beautiful blade . I would love to see what the scabbard looks / looked like . Thanks
Always cool to watch good job. Would be even better with background music.
nice to see how much effort you put into this, keep it going good work :)
can you link to that soft polish please! love these videos. thanks for showing us this art.
Wow you could restore the Excalibur you're that amazing
Andre Will Do It you'll find away lol
You are extremely good!!! Keep going!
You did such good work on this! Great job!
Well done Andre
Now this, this is better than Buzzfeed. Nice.
great job ! beautiful sword.
U could make some money restoring peoples old items U DO A FANTASTIC JOB 👍
man imagine all the battles this sword was in. all those surrenders.
absolutely fantastic
I really like your videos, you do a great job, keep it up!!
It is not a gladius. It is a French artillary sword. But you did an excellent job with it!
What mixture/solution did you use to keep the rust removal so gentle? Share the pro tip!?
Very nice. Impressive work.
All i can say is it's a beautiful blade. The rest I'm speechless
Loved seeing one of these in a video. Have one in my own collection but it isn't as shiny as this polished one. It's got a serial number though and most marks are legible.
You sir have earned a subscriber :)
Wow! Nice! But, I have a question, why didn't you use a machine to get extra brightness and achieve sharpening? It would be nice to see it full restorated
Excellent work. Congratulations. Is there any way to figure out the recipe of this acid?
Wow, like it!
Great work
You did s brilliant job! Have you thought of using a soft bristle tooth brush for the small spaces? It won’t harm any surface, but gets all the small debris out. Just a thought:) thanks for sharing.
Enjoy your work
amazing!
Hey I love your stuff I’m aspiring to do this kind of work myself, what kinda tools/supplies would you recommend?
Very very nice work.......
Great job!
This is my all time favorite style of gladius
So that's where I've seen this before it's a French artillery sword
andre what acid solution are you using?
Que coisa maravilhosa, onde você pega essas peças?
Wow amazing job as usual. Is that yours? Fine piece to a collection for sure
Foamy® Sensitive Skin If you so strongly dislike watching these restoration videos, or so strongly dislike seeing how blades are restored--if this isn't restoring it to its original state, then what would you say is?--why do you watch them?
Foamy® Sensitive Skin even if it has no value it’s still a fine piece.
I'm of the strong beliefs that a sword should look good and be in usable condition. You like the rust go for it but I for one would much rather have this
When iron oxidizes it becomes porous allowing the process to penetrate deeper into the steel. Unlike stainless steel, aluminium or titanium where the oxide layer protects the underlying metal.
Don't hit it with a flap disc but by all means, strip any loose rust, covert and protect.

Wow, no se pero es satisfactorio ver estas cosas de restauración de cuchillos o espadas. Quedó muy buen me encantó.

What kind of acid formula you use
Excellent job.
Bro at lasttttttt I’ve been waiting for weeks

Amazing!!
Best video restoration
Is not a restoration... Is a little wash
wellcome to my channel RESTORATION
Beautiful! What do you do with your restorations? Do you keep them in a display case somewhere?
Where can I get that acid solution? It would really help me with a ww1 bayonet I found!
