Great job man not much people do machete Restorations I always enjoy seeing them restore especially when they got some historical value to them you not only restored it you customize the handle and I really enjoyed watching that one You definitely earned my subscribed keep up the good work
@@AcmeRestorations hopefully it can be used for a Friday the 13th remake OR any upcoming zombie movie, thus making you famous by including you and your works/"props" in their credits!
Kudos to you for not making the blade pointlessly shiny just to make it look good for the video. Not every restored piece of metal has to look like a mirror.
I hope you enjoy this video. If you like this type of restoration, please subscribe. I'm working on putting up new restoration videos each week. I also, always try to answer any questions to feel free to post in the comments.
I did 2 corn knives that were my great-grandfathers. They were also too pitted to grind out so I used Evapo-Rust to remove the rust and then cold blued the blades. I did one handle out of quarter-sawn sycamore and the other out of black walnut from a blow down in the woods behind my house. I couldn't find any tube brass for the lanyard ferrules so I cut the necks and bases off .223 cases and removed the burrs with a chamfer tool. I really enjoyed the whole process so now I'm looking for something else to restore.
Very cool. I'm working on another project where I'm going to actually blue some steel. Hard to get that process dialed in but the results should be fantastic.
Nice work. EXCEPT that the guard is only held in place with JB Weld? Kind of effects the functionality doesn't it? First impact and that guard's gonna fly right off.

Hi my friend iv got to say wow what a lvly handel u have dun for micheaty sori for spelling bro i do my best thats lvly walnut handle u put on the nife and the brass just looks right bro sets it off to a tee lvly job bro mig shout out to u and lv to y self and y family stay safe bro 👍👍👍up to u from dino in england godbless
Everyone likes different looks, but that dark etch protects from rust on high carbon Steel. It wouldn't last long if he polished the blade to be shiny.
I need to find somebody to help me restore my grandparents machete like this. It's the only thing I have left of my grandfathers and it need some cleaning and a handle. Hopefully someone in Florida can help.
I tried. That tang is HARD. Could not get a bit through it and I am not set up for annealing/tempering/re-hardening something this big, so I did what I could. Thanks for watching.
Not a lot you can do with 1.5mm thick steel that's been pitted by rust. Polished it would look like crap and you run the risk of removing material. So I went with acid etched. Not everything can be restored to it's original condition.
I have a blade that was my grandfather machete in WW2. It's SLIGHTLY warped and would like it sharpened with something other than a grinder. Would u PLEASE do this job for me?
Оригинально.сначала в кислоте подержал.потом болгаркой сбил ржавчину.и в конце оказалось что у него есть пескоструй.а теперь вопрос .нахрена нужны были такие трудности с болгаркой и кислотой?
Yeah but I don't want a cutlass; I'm going to use this as a machete :). I thought about fullers and a top saw, but the blade is hardened and I didn't have any way to grind those with any sort of precision, and i don't have anyway of re-heat treating something as long as a machete.
that was a great job ..tho a few things I may point out..not to judge you but just as a pointer maybe..my opinions only of course. 1. at the lanyard hole in the handle why insert a hollow brass pin thru it when the matterial itself is brass? Cause its jarringly noticble ..and also i would have thinned that area down some. 2. I prolly would have used a pin in the guard to secure it and not just trust the epoxy to hold it. 3. Um..sorry to sound kinda rude but..you really need to learn how to sharpen the blade better. using a file can be fine after blunting it by shaping..but wow..even if its using a belt grinder on it or a belt sander...or a sharpening stone used correctly. A just a curiosity...why did you go thru so many steps for the rust removal on the blade? I mean if in the end you were going to sandblast it..why do all the other steps? Just start off with a sandblasting and then polish it up and etch it. Other than that..it really was a great video and the handle looked amazing other than the few things i stated. Great job! Ya got a subscriber.
Legit question to anyone who knows because I don't: why bother with the Scotch Brite if you just follow with bead blasting? Doesn't the bead blasting do what the Scotch Brite did? Thx for any info.
Sometimes plans change in the middle of a project :). I was going to sand it like you would a knife normally, but then realized the pitting was too deep so I went for the glass bead blasting to get the matte finish.
I thought only Brazil had Corneta factories. Living and learning.
Very cool job!!!
I never thought restoration videos were good until I watched this channel!
Thanks!
Great job on the handle
Damn! That’s beyond beautiful. That handle is gorgeous and makes my machetes look cheap.
That handle is particularly impressive, great job!
Beautiful restoration of the old mescett
That looks pretty cool! I wish I had one.

Thank you!
@@AcmeRestorations no problem
This is what is going to happen to the four machetes I have. Love the wood and brass looking.
Jason voorhees would be proud lol. Outstanding job on this. It's probably one of the best machete restorations on TH-cam imo
Thanks! I really appreciate it.
@@AcmeRestorations You're very welcome

@Dalton Roadhouse Lol indeed
Absolutely awesome Machete restoration !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dang you are so safety conscious it’s impressive
I like to avoid the emergency room if at all possible. Especially during a pandemic! :)
Corneta is a brazilian trade mark for pocket knives, knives , machetes, ecc. It exists untill today, 2020 . Really nice job. Congratulations pal.
Thanks. I do like to research the stuff I restore, so got deep into their stuff last week. This is one of their cheaper models :)
Great job. That handle well done.
Wow! Beautiful restoration!
Perfect Mister. Great job!
Love the handle!
Kudos to you for not making the blade pointlessly shiny just to make it look good for the video.
Not every restored piece of metal has to look like a mirror.
THANK YOU!
Agree handle is fantastic
The new handle certainly looks nice. Good job.
Beautiful handle well done
We use acid on rust. Great educational video.
Very nice indeed. 👍👍👍🐨🐨🦘🦘🦘
Excellent job!
Jason Voorhees: Oh yeah! I need one of those!
This is really beautiful 🤩 great job 👏🏻
Outstanding, very well done, certainly increased it's value.
yeah considering the customer probably paid like $600 to have it restored!
Heckuva lot of work to put into restoring a ten dollar machete, but it was a joy to watch.
Agreed I bet the customer paid over $300 for this too.
All the rust remover and chemical PIZZAZ just to grind it away anyway lol.
_It's beutiful._
*I've watched this for five hours now*
very nice it all looks great keep up the good work
No había visto que le pusieran tanto esmero a un machete, pocos lo hacen, exelente trabajo 👍
Beautiful handle
Excelente trabajo 👍🏽...y que maravilla de lijadoras 😳😅
That's is a beautiful handle
Very nice job

Wow Very beautiful!!
Thank you! 😊
thumbs up for the handle work, would have liked to see a new edge created and sanding / polishing of the blade
Blade's too pitted to sand/polish. That's why I went with acid etch. I think I wrote that in the text.
Looks great
Hi! Im from Brasil and I just wanted to say i love ur videos! You are doing a great job!
Obrigado!
Beautiful 😻
Very well done.
Nice work
Thats amazing!
I love it you did a great job
Perfect handle!! The most anatomic ever!!! Its so dificult???
Exelente muy buen trabajo

Wow, I like the steps.
I found an old really cool machete in a stone cutting facility!!!
Looks cool well done.
I'm currently working on one that looks nearly identical and is in the same condition
Very nice Work
Stupendo! originalità mantenute diciamo del 92 x 💯,!✍️,ok !bravo!
i found 1 in a neighbours garden when i was tidying it up 2ft long and well rusty gonna restore it
That would be a trophy in a mencave❤️
Very nice restoration, very nice finish in the handle, it would've been great if you had used Japanese water stones to sharpen that edge
Nice Job!
Excellent! You should compete in the FORGE IN FIRE!
He didn’t make it, he cleaned it. Could definitely go on a show called Cleaning Stuff Other People Made though.
Lol Iove that show.
Slash and more slashing though the jungle with this mighty machete 🌿🔪👍

Awesome restoration, but I wish you would have done a paper test to show how sharp it was.
The infamous ACME
Nice job. More focus on sharpening and testing, please.
love it love the vids. but you should show off the finished item a little more
Noted!
Your machete verymuch good 😊😀😀💖❤👍
Hi my friend iv got to say wow what a lvly handel u have dun for micheaty sori for spelling bro i do my best thats lvly walnut handle u put on the nife and the brass just looks right bro sets it off to a tee lvly job bro mig shout out to u and lv to y self and y family stay safe bro 👍👍👍up to u from dino in england godbless
i have the exact same one with a black plastic handle
Not a big fan of the matte finish, but overall this an absolutely gorgeous blade! Great job on the hilt.
Everyone likes different looks, but that dark etch protects from rust on high carbon Steel. It wouldn't last long if he polished the blade to be shiny.
Where can i buy that rust remover liquid?
Most big box hardware stores. Harbor freight, Amazon.
Nice do you sale your restoration projects
now.. we begin with the... keeel test... then we move on to the strength test... the infamous Ice block chop.. then the sharpness test.. 🤣😁👍
Oh man an ice block chop would have been awesome!
I need to find somebody to help me restore my grandparents machete like this. It's the only thing I have left of my grandfathers and it need some cleaning and a handle. Hopefully someone in Florida can help.
Noice
Looks really nice. Should have put at least one pin the brass guard...that epoxy will crack and fail with the kind of hits a machete deals.
I tried. That tang is HARD. Could not get a bit through it and I am not set up for annealing/tempering/re-hardening something this big, so I did what I could. Thanks for watching.
What's the proper name for the tool at 2:15? And is an electric version available?
That's an angle die grinder. The electric version is just an angle grinder; they are much larger.
Bravo 👏👏🇧🇷
Can you tell me why you use why just not sand blast first? Cheers
Que machete aqui e nordeste
200% isso e um facão
Nice handle. Polishing the blade not important?
Not a lot you can do with 1.5mm thick steel that's been pitted by rust. Polished it would look like crap and you run the risk of removing material. So I went with acid etched. Not everything can be restored to it's original condition.
u could of did a test on the blade function and made the blade look more sharper imo, overall a pretty OK restoration....
Un machete un arma multiusos, para hombres de verdad
0:56 the power tools learned how to laugh like spongebob
I would have added the pins before shaping the grip
Just to reduce the risk of potentially marring it by accident
for a second I thought you were rubbing Nutella onto the Machete
I have a blade that was my grandfather machete in WW2. It's SLIGHTLY warped and would like it sharpened with something other than a grinder. Would u PLEASE do this job for me?
restore knife to new and beautiful
Yes Jason your machete is fixed
That one took me a second ;)
Оригинально.сначала в кислоте подержал.потом болгаркой сбил ржавчину.и в конце оказалось что у него есть пескоструй.а теперь вопрос .нахрена нужны были такие трудности с болгаркой и кислотой?
personally i would have added 3 fullers on each side and modified the handle and added a D-guard turning it into a cutlass but pretty good restoration
Yeah but I don't want a cutlass; I'm going to use this as a machete :). I thought about fullers and a top saw, but the blade is hardened and I didn't have any way to grind those with any sort of precision, and i don't have anyway of re-heat treating something as long as a machete.
Wow 🤩
Craftsman!!
Pueden hacer fundas para las armas blancas y todo eso?
Jason Voorhees gives this a like.
You didn't include the tang when you use the rust remover. It has rust and also it is still part of the blade
Wire brushed the tang. Don't care about a little material loss on the tang.
that was a great job ..tho a few things I may point out..not to judge you but just as a pointer maybe..my opinions only of course.
1. at the lanyard hole in the handle why insert a hollow brass pin thru it when the matterial itself is brass? Cause its jarringly noticble ..and also i would have thinned that area down some.
