I took over my granddads old shop and it's full to the brim with old and rusty tools. I'd love to get into the hobby of restoring them and giving them a second life. Thanks to your channel, I will give it a try and start with something simple.
Absolute beauty. I'm an archaeologist, and Marshalltown trowels are the gold-standard for our industry. We fight about whether diamond or rectangular trowels are better, but nobody doubts Marshalltown, and everyone has at least one. I actually found this video because I'm looking to restore my poor trowel. 😅 I was trying to see if hot bluing would be alright, as it gets rode hard and put away wet a lot during the rainy season, and I don't think cold bluing would hold up to the level of abuse they get put through, but I appreciate your point about ruining the temper.
Great work as always man. Absolutely love the voiceovers you do! I'm getting ready to start a couple major restoration projects with the crown jewel being an 8' engine lathe. Can't wait to get going!
I can't imagine what that lathe cost! I'd love to get my hands on a vintage one that needs some love. Make sure you document the start to finish on it. You should consider posting a photo on vintagemachinery.org so we can check it out and support!!
@@OneNationRestorations Got it for a song because it's in pretty rough shape. Going to be documenting the whole process and will definitely be posting up on vintage machinery. Can't wait :)
Thanks for the nod. It looked like you used some bluing in your last video, too. As great as it is, I'm surprised I don't see it used more often by others.
For tools that get regular use, apply a light coat of oil (3-in-one will work or a mineral oil) bi-weekly or monthly depending on the humidity in your area. I'm not a mason so I only use this at most twice per year. For tools that sit around, apply carnauba wax with a rag.
Why are you playin with lead???? Lol
makin bullets ;)

I love the black part you added on! I didn’t know that’s how they did that! Looks so good!
I'm a huge fan, too. It will take any bare metal piece to a whole new look.
Turned out great! Nice recommendation of taping off the wood so you don’t sand against the grain.

Have a look at japanning.
Cold application but super durable
I would not have been able to tell those were the same piece before and after. Nice restoration.
It's nice to know a wrecked tool like this is only 4 hours away from looking new again!
I almost said something in the band saw video. Next level!
We'll see if anyone catches the tool that needs some love in this video
Wonderful restoration!
Excellent work as usual!!!
That turned out so good!! The blade looks like new!
That diagonal sanding pattern really pops now! Thanks!!
Great tips, thanks for sharing.
Amazing work👌

Very well👍
Frikkin sweet 👍🏻 👍🏻
It turned out to be a beautiful tool, the inscription could be distinguished using cold bluing👍

How do you keep the blade from rusting after this?
