Another beautiful restoration. I particularly like the fact that you honor the history and heritage of the items you restore. As to adding music or narration, I vote no. The videos are excellent as they are. Your onscreen narration is excellent. Your editing and visual pacing are improving with each video. The beer tasting and rating are bonuses. Thanks for sharing your talents with the rest of the world.
Great restoration. Paul Sellers has an informative video on sharpening scissors. His mother was a seamstress. Few craftsmen have his skills in sharpening. And very few can do restoration work on your level. It has been fun to watch the growth of your channel. The beer tasting is an added bonus. Well done!
My grandmother had a pair of fabric shears similar to these. She got them in Germany in 1963. She loved those scissors until she passed away. This video brings back some good memories.
Awesome restoration! To think they are 100 years old, and now look as beautiful as they once did. Her family will be so pleased and proud that this heritage has been preserved. You are the man! Peace 💫
Being a seamstress and designer I know that nothing is better than a good pair of heavy shears made by a wonderful company. I bet these are worth their weight in gold to the right person.
How wonderful that you brought them back to life for the maker of the scissors and your grandfather's tailor legacy No one appreciates scissors like someone who works making clothing and quilts. Thank you for the great video.
WOW ❤😍❤ I have an appreciation for antiques and their restoration. My mother has a pair of pinking shears by Singers still in pristine condition that are over 45 years old. These type of scissors and pinking shears are the best for cutting fabrics. I love how heavy they are too.
They look amazing, well done. My granddad was a tailor and I sew a lot too, so I really appreciate a good pair of scissors. They really can last forever.
To be honest The cutting didn't look so good. I would have changed to a 35 degree angle. Scissors seem to have their own mind when it comes to cutting. When you find the angle they love they cut fabric like a hot knife going through butter. I absolutely love this video. I'm restoring an old pair of Wiss scissors as I'm watching. I've been sharping and repairing scissors for 41 years and I still learn something new just about every day. Thank you for the beautiful video I'm sure her father will be very proud when he sees them.
My wife to totally obsessive about scissors, and it's my job to keep her happy. If they won't cut sheer fabric or thread to the very tip, then back to my shop. I've got to where I can hear and feel when the scissors are perfect or a little off. They have to "sing" a certain way to be perfect.
Wow, these are beautiful! I'm a historical costumer and I have a collection of old scissors I'd like to restore and use. Beautiful, simply beautiful and thank you for this video.
You did the scissors proud he should see memeroies come back. these are valesio taylor scissors made between 1920 and 1930 in germany. cannot wait to see your next project. good luck.
Came for the restoration videos, stayed for the beer reviews. I've watched so many hours of restoration videos on other channels, and this is the first channel where I have seen restoration of items that I feel "connected" to, namely a Kitchenaid and tailor's shears. New subscriber here, and a big thumbs up for enjoyable videos.
Love your videos and a superb restoration of the tailors shears. I also enjoy your beer tasting although I am not a great beer drinker. Looking forward to your next restoration.
I love your videos (the whole family!) so please take this the way it’s intended. If it were any old pair of scissors, I would have done what you did. But for something that has so much sentimental family value because of its history and its age, I really would have liked to see you preserve that. The pitting and the notches are part of its story. Now you can’t tell them from a new pair, and it makes me a little sad. Still, masterful work as always.
I really like this channel and think he does great work as well. But I agree 100%. His gf's dad's grandfather wore those notches in, after many years of working with them. I also noticed they don't shut right anymore. I think he may have mixed them up, that or he sanded them back way too much. It doesnt take much to mess up a pair of scissors ,lol I've done it. All in all they came out really nice and I'm sure the person he did this for will like them nonetheless. But yes I agree
This is sort of where my thoughts went as well. The history and exorcised from the tools - despite such a beautifully decorative result. But perhaps that's what they wanted.
I was a bit worried when you made the first few passes in the beginning with sandpaper. Those pits looked deep but you made it happen...again! Thanks for sharing the story about your girlfriend's grandfather's occupation. A great story to go with a great restoration. Love the outcome!!!
In my home, we had the "good scissors" that under the pain of death would never be used for anything but cloth. It appears that you have created, "The Excellent Scissors".
I'm from 9gag too! I loved this- nice, informative and relaxing. The video quality is great, I appreciate that there is no music, you explain everything so clearly and I find the restoration extremely satisfying, keep it up! Ps. I also particularly liked that you lowered the volume in the loudest parts, thanks!
@@NTRprojects man, you did such a great job that i fell asleep lol. By the way I am an historian and I really love when people show passion dedication and respect for objects that have a History of their own
Спасибо за прекрасное видео! Мой друг отреставрировал такие же ножницы, те, что побольше, только нашли их в Лондоне... Я портной. Очень приятно работать такими старыми, но классными инструментами. Приятно осознавать, что кто то 100 с лишним лет назад кроил кому то шикарный костюм!!! Правда, он не стал полировать до зеркала, сохранив патину металла... У Вас хорошие, золотые руки! Благодарю Вас! Привет из Санкт-Петербурга! Россия...
A very good and thorough restoration. I was looking for some inspiration as I work on some general 11" shears. You set a good model for how it's done. While mine are darkened by time there's little rust and no noticeable corrosion or pitting. The benefits of a previous owner painting the scissors from tip to handles. I look forward to more of your restorations and beer ratings.
From 9gag, I watched the lamp video you are improving in quality mate that's great! Also the beer tasting on top of that is such a plus ! Keep the good work going!
Your attention to detail and workmanship is quite remarkable, and i appreciate that a lot, the but i actually think (just this one time) it is a bit of a shame, that all of grandpas dings and dents are no longer visible. The scissors now look completely new, if you didn't know better. But still a big thank you for very nice video.
Yes I do now always try to leave some of the old patina as long as it is still aesthetic and doesn't influence function. So that was the reason I fully polished the scissors. You need a smooth surface to cut silk for example
Im restoring a pair of Wiss Inlaid right now. Mine are some small 7.5 in. Gonna look beautiful tho. Your vid is just motivation to just keep sanding and polishing. Lol. Great work.
That's great. What does inlaid mean? Is it because the scissors are forged from steel with a cast iron back/body? Anyway, I've inherited a pair of Wiss inlaid #20 scissors from my grandmother and have done only a partial restore of them. I don't think they were ever sharpened in the estimated 80 or so years of its existence. Even after all this time they still cut cloth reasonably well but it does need sharpening. Wiss scissors are fantastic quality.
Beautiful finished product sir. A great first time project too for someone interested it giving it a try. I like the use of brake discs as the sacrificial metal - makes good sense. They are big and rust pretty easy. I store my car in the winter months and they are covered with a film of rust in the spring. Easy to clean off though and use again and again.
Incredible restoration and such patience and love you have! I also enjoyed the break for a beer tasting and to hear the squirrel. Would love to see the expression of the father when he receives this amazing gift!!! Thank you.
As far as I can remember, the inside face of those Taylor's shears should be hollow ground to give clearance to the cutting edge, the few pairs have sharpened have been hollow ground to aid sharp shearing right up to the tip of the shears, it can be checked by placing the face of a engineering guage block across the inside face of the blade, 🙂
Simply awesome work and to have the provenance to go with them makes it all worthwhile. In their day they would have been very expensive and made from top quality steel. The only problem with doing the polishing is that it all has to be done four times 😂😂😂 Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺
I soak wetstones for 20 minutes otherwise every time you apply water it will soak in and leave nothing on the surface. Also I was taught to sharpen scissors same way as on Paul Sellers video. Beautiful job!
They look gorgeous :) Good job on breathing new life in to them. If I had to nitpick anything from the video that kinda vexed me, it's how one of them didn't close all the way at the end. But as said, it's nitpicking :)
Super Arbeit, wie Du die alten Scheren wieder schön und gangbar gemacht hast! Heutzutage wird viel weggeworfen und neu gekauft. Hier sieht man, dass aus Alt wieder Neu wird und dies sogar Spaß macht und man auf das Ergebnis stolz sein kann! Heike Hilsenbek
You know the shears are probably only like $50 total new but I can understand the sentiment behind stuff like that, I paid well over $300 to fix a $50 watch cuz it was my wife's grandfather's and I have to say a skilled person like yourself always makes the item look way better then it was when it was new. This was awesome to see......I don't even do work that would use them and I want them just cuz they look so nice.
Nice work bro, now I’ve seen your video 😄 these are exactly the same scissors I restored! And you used the aluteufel grün? I use the same for my cars! 😄 keep it up! Grüße aus Frankfurt/Main 😉
Yes aluteufel grün helped me a lot when I restored a simson star moped. I use it for the first clean up ever since. I'm from Darmstadt, so we are almost neighbors. Best regards. I love your channel.
I doubt those scissors ever looked that good, your attention to detail and workmanship is exceptional, great video
So proud of this comment right now. Thank you very much for the compliment

Than you Brenda. I was a big pleasure for me to give those scissors a second life. Do you work with clothing and quilts brenda?
@@NTRprojects Yes, I enjoy creating clothing and quilt making.
@@brendaryan306 I could tell by your wonderful enthusiasm. Keep it up ☺️
Those of us who work with cloth will be the first to tell that the scissors are dull, well maybe a hairdresser.
What a fantastic thing to do for someone. From old scissors to family treasures 🙂
They're beautiful! I hope her father was pleased with the results!
Fantastic job restoring these beautiful scissors. I hope they cut again for many years!

My hands cramped up just watching this video. All that hard work resulted in 2 beautiful new tools. Well done!
A beautiful job but more importantly, a very kind act giving her father something so important to him.

Beautiful restoration of the two sessors
Really great job restoring these scissors. If I have a vote, I prefer no music or speaking, just the enjoyment of hearing and seeing you work.
That's what I personally prefer too and enjoy the most.
superb restoration
My mum was a tailoress, but I doubt she had a pair of scissors like those. Amazing.
Thank you so much! Beautiful. Finally a restoration with no music, superb!
Glad you liked it!
Simply outstanding & perfect restoration
Oh Yeshwant this is real motivation. Thanks mate
That beer looked delicious! & the scissors are gorgeous; nicely done.
Extremely great restoration. The scissor is now better than even when it was delivered by the factory. Many many congratulations and kudos to you.
You are very talented. Thank for a mesmerizing video.
Beautiful and amazing , you are now one of my top restorers. Sacrificial Anode sounds like the name of a heavy death or goth metal band.
Another excellent restoration (and tasting). Thank you for sharing !
Gorgeous! And a great way to make a girlfriend's dad happy. 😁

Amazing work. Don’t forget tailors lubricated the blades by running them over their hair and the oils from that does the job!
Didnt know that. very interesting. Thank you for this info
Awesome. Loved watching you work and the end results
Great work ... thankyou . Great Scissors x
I want the words "Sacrificial Anode" on a shirt.
It sure is a good word for a shirt 🤔 in German it's Opferanode
@@NTRprojects Even better! Then I would get to tell the story when I translate the word for people!
@@jessthemuse Yeah you are right. Its a great Icebreaker :D
And I would wear the Cathode... what a pair!
This is the only channel that I have seen that has called this particular type of anode by its correct name: sacrificial anode.
Superb restoration!😊🇨🇦
Thank you for the nice feedback Max
Came here from 9gag..thanks OP.

These scissors will talk to each other that they have been born again and were this beautiful in their previous life.
