This guy is not a professional this is a hobby of his to restore stuff to a usable state he isn't trying to do a museum restoration. The history channel made everyone an expert i guess. There's different types of restoration at least he's making things usable again like they were meant to be and they aren't siting and corroding. If u want a professional to the t museum quality restoration don't watch a hobbyist.
I remember some narcissistic sergeant had me digging a pit in bed rock for three days, the stripes all got their kicks yelling at me why wasn’t I down to stage 2 yet and giving out punishment. Wonder why I don’t like authority?
But it's not a 1960s e tool because I have a 60s e tool it has the pick in it to this is a ww2 us e tool the folding shovel hince this one was made in 1944 to 1945 with the pointed end
Those pins were solidly entrenched in those holes. Good thing you managed to dig them out eventually. Cos those results must yield satisfaction in spades. I dig that kinda thing.
I don’t really get all the hate on this video. If you have criticism, that’s good, but to just be outright mean to a guy? What’s the point? If you don’t like his restoration you can click off or go restore your own. He’s just showing us his skills, there’s no need to be so harsh.
@J C its a mix of that and the history behind the item itself the restoration was nice at the end though I will admit for what it actually was being and any shovel it didn't really ebd up looking like an army just kinda liked like a replica which was abit of a shame though there's probably a decent amount of people who got pissed off by that though with it being most likely quite a common piece of equipment from the time its not like he was defacing some are artifact from the war or anything
The Odd Rabbit that’s true. I know a lot of painting restoration is solely about restoring the painting to what the artist intended it to be, so I see that as a fair point. Thank you for replying in such a civil way.
Ikr I keep hoping he will show his face one day so we can see what he looks like.i wouldn't say hot arms lol arms aren't my thing but it wouldn't surprise me if he were good-looking.
American troops, including myself, carried the same shovel, but it was painted Olive Drab or OD. To be true to the nature of the item and its history, a restoration should have been with the original color. Just my opinion.
Nothing that a little bit of Internet Research couldn't have uncovered if you're unfamiliar with US Military paint schemes, but overall a great job of resurrecting this back from the dead.
heyi get youwant to expose people AHEM Mr. Truth but the internet one isine always raigt and 2 he couldve been in a diffrent troob or even military service too so get Your facts straight and leave this poor man alone
I can't believe that a military organization would send someone to the front lines with a bright shiny silver tool. It would become an instant signaling device. And, opinions are like armpits, everyone has a couple and some of them stink! Say what you want Mr. Truth. I know what I carried as part of my equipment. Have a great day.
@@janetlheureux7407 - Hi Snowflake.... I'm sorry you're all triggered and butthurt but unless you've ever been in ANY military, you have no idea how important the proper camo pattern or paint color is on the gear for the troops to help improve their survivability in different environments during times of conflict or war. Besides, if TysyTube isn't worried about what I said, why are you? My comment was not directed at Earl, it was for Tysy.

Another interesting resto with great end results. Hope the orginal owner is impressed with the final result. I can understand where you're coming from with the colour. If the final outcome isn't durable, do find alternatives. Ignore what the whingers say....your channel, your products, your resto, so you do what you like. All good bro 👍👍
I remember the days of trying to dig a bunker out of rocky ground with one of these while the unit next to us had engineers bring their earthmovers. Good video.
Some one should edit over this and put eyes and mouths on all the pieces looking sad/concerned/ mad when there tools and happy when there fixed 🤣🤣 haha
"It didn't want to move." As an Army vet I can assure you that even when these little terrors are new, they don't want to move. 😄 Beautiful work, as always!
I'm more of a traditionalist and woulda painted it in the original OD green, but it's not my project and I do admire a good restoration.... you did a great job and now I really like the end result
Great. Restoration. I’ve watched several on TH-cam involving rusty bolts/nuts. Most use a penetrating oil and brute force. Not too often is heat used. I’ve used a torch to loosen frozen nuts that have been on a part for 50 years and it has worked every time.
Hi, Gaby! Great job on that shovel. I have one just like it. You've inspired me to restore it. I didn't know it could look so great. Amazing! Thanks for sharing your skills. I really like the variety of items you choose to restore. Take care, my friend.
I don't know if you intended it but this made me teary eyed thinking of the soldier it may have belonged to and the honor you gave this simple tool in its restoration.
what a transformation! it seems that the shovel has served its time in the army and now returned home with veteran glory and started a new civilian page, therefore polishing is certainly a nicer finish than the original olive drab. well done!
I wish i had a shovel like that. That thing is awesome. I don't think it really matters what color it is. Its for personal use more than likely anyways
as always, great work however I would have kept the shovel consistent to military issue; of course that could always be done in the future with some paint and usage.
Tysy.. the next time u have a shovel to restore with that much rust.. Take the shovel and go dig some holes.. it should eliminate about 90% of the rust.. I learned that one from experience... Keep up the great restorations...
There were hundreds of thousands made, for and by different nations. Since its not a weapon or weirdly specific kit- many exist as a normal piece of house hold tool. Rather see it shined up than thrown away Good job
"I personally would have done this..." Well then you do that on your own restorations and let him enjoy the process of doing his own. Learning by your own hand is part of the process, people have got to stop acting as if there's one way to learn/achieve an outconme.
I know! So many comments are like "I wouldn't have done that", "this isn't the right colour", "let me suggest you..." Like everyone is suddenly an expert or what? If you know better you're not forced to watch! Let us enjoy his beautiful work!
When you have an ORIGINAL dated 1944 with the ORIGINAL green paint still on the actual metal, a solid oak handle, and the poly(I believe it's what they used)still on it and you cringe the whole time while he fucks it up.
Hello, I have a shovel just like that. My father brought it in the 70s when he was in the army, it has a brand. USA 1945 is in better condition than the one you restored. Taking your video as an example, I will leave it as best I can .. Thanks, I'm Daniel from Buenos Aires Argentina
I used to have one of these shovels! I just realized I accidentally left it in the trunk of my Torino when I sold it. ::Kicks self:: then, ::Kicks self for selling Torino in the first place:: Excellent job on the restoration. Like the handle a lot. I knew you were going to break off the aluminum grip, so don't worry man- that's just the nature of those things.
Great restoration and effort. Super nice result. Love the shiny part around the handle. This rivet punching must have taken a while - respect for your endurance. Really love that you don't play music - very much appreciated.
You have done a beautiful job on this shovel sir. I liked it especially because 1945 was my birth year and the shovel and I are 73 years old. It will serve you well for many years. Thank you for bringing and old rusty tool back to life; excelent job my friend, keep it up.
Salut Mec ,J'ai compris que t'es un French , J’apprécie vraiment ton channel , et je languis de voir tes nouvelle video , Super JOB sur cette pelle ! Une pelle comme ça m'a sauvé la vie un jour prés de Mende , je m’était coincé en voiture sur un congère de neige sur le Causse d'Auge
I have 3 1944 ames e tools i could get the locking nut lose wd and some hear from a torch and pipe wrench it worked great that one came real nice good job sir
I know that people prefer just to oil the wood, but if it was a unique tool of the army I think it should have been painted again in military green, that part of the history of the tool that tells you what it belonged to.
Omg some comments are ridiculous! Everyone thinks they're an expert! If you are unhappy with how this man restores (repairs who cares - oh that rhymed!) then don't watch the video! Personally how it was to how he (let's use the word "resurrected") is great talent. It's not easy to do this kind of thing. What is easy to do is clicking off a video if you don't like it lol
People are just as entitled to leave their opinions as you are. I'm not condoning outright insulting the guy but no one seems to be doing that. "If you are unhappy with how people leave comments, then dont read them."
@@ritadepeeves gets rude because gets called out for his opion, while bashing people for their opinion, nice very nice. you should buy a dictionary and read the term irony.
Je possède également cette même pelle que je garde dans ma voiture en permanence. Elle est toute neuve et n’a jamais vu la neige 🌨 ou la boue. Belle restauration, bravo à toi.
some tips for you, do not stroke the file backwards, it will ruin the file pretty fast, always lift the file on the back stroke. an easy way to get rid of rust is to use evaporust as it wont eat the metal away (that vinegar does) and it only removes the rust very quickly. evaporust is a non-toxic, non-acidic solution and after use it leaves a protective film on the de-rusted item that protects it for about a week and its easy to remove, just rinse it with water and you got a clean part
I watch a machinist Abom79 on TH-cam and he has heard this argument about lifting the file on the backstroke. He has files that he has used all his life without lifting on the backstroke and they are as good as they were on the day he bought them. I also have files that I use and they are as good as the day they were bought or received and I don't lift on the backstroke either, but I don't use mine that often. So the argument goes on, lift or don't lift?
I have files that got ruined by not lifting on the back stroke, cheap ones get ruined in like 5 strokes backward and more expensive ones (bahco) can take like 20 and then they are not better than a pocketknife nail file...
@@Seabee_133 Think of saving energy a file only ''cuts'' on the front stroke, so putting energy into going back and forth is inefficient, and yes it does blunt them overtime but it has a lot to do with what you're filing, you'll blunt a file pretty quickly rage filing back and forth on titanium, but not so much on aluminium.
Now this is constructive feed back. Not like some dickheads here that just Critisize because they cannot do themselves. I am going to steal these tips for my personal use. Ty.
Your derusting in vinegar would be much more efficient if you attack the rust with a wire brush (angle grinder!) first. The less rust the vinegar has to eat away the better it can do it. Heating up the clamping nut may have saved you from buying a new one. I´m totally ok with the bare finish - let´s call it the "commercial model"
Seriously, just because it wasn't done by the books doesn't mean you didn't do an amazing fix-up of this beautiful tool. PLEASE keep up the great work. Some of us love to follow in your footsteps!
Have you ever tried using heat to remove jammed and rusted parts? I've seen it done online and it seemes legitimate but I'm not actually sure how real the results are. It could save you a lot of effort and broken parts.
@@otterino1419 i think it might have something to do with low melting points and the brittleness of a metal......i know zinc is used for a lot of castings because it has a very low melting point compared to steel.....and zinc doesn't glow or give any indication of it's temperature...it goes from solid to molten quick, like lead
Sia chiaro, tu sei bravissimo a restaurare, ma ogni volta che cedo un restauro del genere su un oggetto della guerra mi sento male.... Perché non è ne conservativo ne fedele all'originale!
Originally I was in agreement with the idea of doing it in OD, but the polished look is rather nice. Honestly either that or a flat black for the business end would be fantastic. Great video!
My late Dad served in WWII, and apparently got to keep one of these when he was discharged ... I often played with it as a kid, not knowing what it was (a folding entrenching tool). I used to bring it to the beach and dig sand forts while people swam or sunbathed. Here it is decades later, and in hindsight I can only imagine what my Dad was thinking, seeing his son play in peacetime with a piece of his gear from the great war. Swords to plowshares. I have no idea what became of it ... lost to time. I miss it, but I miss my Dad a lot more. Time makes orphans of us all, eventually. 😔 BTW, leaving the blade shiny and the handle bare wood, are both NOT AUTHENTIC.
@@bigbearfuzzums7027 Oh look, yet another rude boring troll (classic hallmarks: bad manners, fake name, zero subs, zero content) who takes their own shortcommings out on strangers. Let me guess ... you're pissed because I had a great Father, whereas yours was an abusive deadbeat who skipped town when you were seven. Not my problem, bud. Say hello to permanent auto-mute.
Just a tip, heat can help loosen up parts, so if you have a stuck bolt or thread try hitting it with a blowtorch for a bit, doesn't always work but it can
Wonderful restoration! I have one I want to restore also... where did you get the extra parts (link?) Anyone who has not ever used one of these for digging has never used the most incredible digging shovel ever made. Its ability to be used at a 90 degree angle, and the incredible hardness, have actually been used by me to chio through solid granite. I was more than willing to pay 25.00 for a used one and was looking for awhile. Then I got one at a local flea market for only 2.00 - and want to restore it now. Thanks - subscribed!
Lee Brewer Shovels are not used for digging. Shovels are wide and designed to carry more material and usually have curled edges to help contain the load or spoil. This tool is more akin to a spade which has a cutting edge to slice through soil or other material. The 90° angle allowed it to be used like a pickaxe to scoop quickly.
I'm glad to see another project that others may have sent to a metal recycling center restored. Perhaps not to original condition as others have pointed out but it's still in mint condition. I've actually seen these shovels painted tan for use in the desert.
I suppose someone who's been on the operator end of one of these tools should chime in here. Terminology can be important and this is one of those times. The proper nomenclature for this "shovel" is "entrenching tool." Shovels are what Jody used back on the farm to scoop manure. An entrenching tool is what a soldier uses to dig himself a fighting position deep enough to keep from getting his head shot off. An e-tool with a sharpened edge also makes a formidable weapon in close combat situations. With a full swing you can take a man's hand right off.
If it were a French made item or even a item made for issue by the French military, you'd be correct. However, in this case it's a US Army issue M1943 Entrenching Tool.

Back in the 1960's, my dad had one of these. It was painted army green. He called it his "trench tool". As kids, we had fun with it.

Omg some comments are ridiculous! Everyone thinks they're an expert! If you are unhappy with how this man restores (repairs who cares - oh that rhymed!) then don't watch the video! Personally how it was to how he (let's use the word "resurrected") is great talent. It's not easy to do this kind of thing. What is easy to do is clicking off a video if you don't like it lol
People are just as entitled to leave their opinions as you are. I'm not condoning outright insulting the guy but no one seems to be doing that.
"If you are unhappy with how people leave comments, then dont read them."
@@zoeygonnago_e never said they couldn't leave their opinion. But thanks oprah
@@ritadepeeves I know what you said and I can only assume what you were implying. Barring my assumption do you just complain to hear yourself talk?
@@zoeygonnago_e let's just say ur right. There u go all better!
@@ritadepeeves gets rude because gets called out for his opion, while bashing people for their opinion, nice very nice. you should buy a dictionary and read the term irony.
You know you're popular when thousands of people want to watch you restore a shovel :-). You do great work!

Tant pis pour la pièce, mais beau travail!
Je possède également cette même pelle que je garde dans ma voiture en permanence. Elle est toute neuve et n’a jamais vu la neige 🌨 ou la boue. Belle restauration, bravo à toi.
merci beaucoup 😊
some tips for you, do not stroke the file backwards, it will ruin the file pretty fast, always lift the file on the back stroke. an easy way to get rid of rust is to use evaporust as it wont eat the metal away (that vinegar does) and it only removes the rust very quickly. evaporust is a non-toxic, non-acidic solution and after use it leaves a protective film on the de-rusted item that protects it for about a week and its easy to remove, just rinse it with water and you got a clean part
I watch a machinist Abom79 on TH-cam and he has heard this argument about lifting the file on the backstroke. He has files that he has used all his life without lifting on the backstroke and they are as good as they were on the day he bought them. I also have files that I use and they are as good as the day they were bought or received and I don't lift on the backstroke either, but I don't use mine that often. So the argument goes on, lift or don't lift?
I have files that got ruined by not lifting on the back stroke, cheap ones get ruined in like 5 strokes backward and more expensive ones (bahco) can take like 20 and then they are not better than a pocketknife nail file...
@@Seabee_133 Think of saving energy a file only ''cuts'' on the front stroke, so putting energy into going back and forth is inefficient, and yes it does blunt them overtime but it has a lot to do with what you're filing, you'll blunt a file pretty quickly rage filing back and forth on titanium, but not so much on aluminium.
Now this is constructive feed back. Not like some dickheads here that just Critisize because they cannot do themselves. I am going to steal these tips for my personal use. Ty.
I really digged this restoration...
Another great job...
Your derusting in vinegar would be much more efficient if you attack the rust with a wire brush (angle grinder!) first. The less rust the vinegar has to eat away the better it can do it.
Heating up the clamping nut may have saved you from buying a new one.
I´m totally ok with the bare finish - let´s call it the "commercial model"
Seriously, just because it wasn't done by the books doesn't mean you didn't do an amazing fix-up of this beautiful tool. PLEASE keep up the great work. Some of us love to follow in your footsteps!
thank you so much 😊
Have you ever tried using heat to remove jammed and rusted parts? I've seen it done online and it seemes legitimate but I'm not actually sure how real the results are. It could save you a lot of effort and broken parts.
i believe that only works with ferrous metals like iron/steel
@@imperialpresence3331 doesn't it work on copper as well?
@@otterino1419 i think it might have something to do with low melting points and the brittleness of a metal......i know zinc is used for a lot of castings because it has a very low melting point compared to steel.....and zinc doesn't glow or give any indication of it's temperature...it goes from solid to molten quick, like lead
Just when you think this is going to be be boring, he speeds it up. Well edited 👍🏼
I like the stained wooden handle, but I would have painted the metal back as the original OD green
thank you so much 😊
Awesome Restoration!! 👍🏻
...Officially titled "Entrenching Tool"
Thank you for sharing...
Nicely done it looks better then when new
I bailed when the angle grinder made its appearance. Hope it turned out nice.
thank you so much 😊
That was the one trouble with these shovels the aluminum nut would corrode and was a bugger to undo. You Aced this one I like it..
TECHNICALLY, it's not a shovel. It's an "Entrenching Tool." 😂
Basic equipment issued to US Army Infantry soldiers.
Shovel
I thoroughly enjoy watching all of your videos!
Sia chiaro, tu sei bravissimo a restaurare, ma ogni volta che cedo un restauro del genere su un oggetto della guerra mi sento male.... Perché non è ne conservativo ne fedele all'originale!
Originally I was in agreement with the idea of doing it in OD, but the polished look is rather nice. Honestly either that or a flat black for the business end would be fantastic. Great video!
“Didn’t want to move”
*Angle grinder noises*
This man is going off on old army equipment
But but but it's not greeeeen.
Doesn't matter what the color is its restored to its glory as a working E-Tool
thank you so much 😊
Beautiful Work. You are a top professional!
My late Dad served in WWII, and apparently got to keep one of these when he was discharged ... I often played with it as a kid, not knowing what it was (a folding entrenching tool). I used to bring it to the beach and dig sand forts while people swam or sunbathed.
Here it is decades later, and in hindsight I can only imagine what my Dad was thinking, seeing his son play in peacetime with a piece of his gear from the great war. Swords to plowshares.
I have no idea what became of it ... lost to time. I miss it, but I miss my Dad a lot more. Time makes orphans of us all, eventually. 😔
BTW, leaving the blade shiny and the handle bare wood, are both NOT AUTHENTIC.
No one asked!
@@bigbearfuzzums7027 Oh look, yet another rude boring troll (classic hallmarks: bad manners, fake name, zero subs, zero content) who takes their own shortcommings out on strangers. Let me guess ... you're pissed because I had a great Father, whereas yours was an abusive deadbeat who skipped town when you were seven. Not my problem, bud.
Say hello to permanent auto-mute.
Just a tip, heat can help loosen up parts, so if you have a stuck bolt or thread try hitting it with a blowtorch for a bit, doesn't always work but it can
Wonderful restoration! I have one I want to restore also... where did you get the extra parts (link?)
Anyone who has not ever used one of these for digging has never used the most incredible digging shovel ever made. Its ability to be used at a 90 degree angle, and the incredible hardness, have actually been used by me to chio through solid granite. I was more than willing to pay 25.00 for a used one and was looking for awhile. Then I got one at a local flea market for only 2.00 - and want to restore it now.
Thanks - subscribed!
Lee Brewer Shovels are not used for digging. Shovels are wide and designed to carry more material and usually have curled edges to help contain the load or spoil. This tool is more akin to a spade which has a cutting edge to slice through soil or other material.
The 90° angle allowed it to be used like a pickaxe to scoop quickly.
@@kjamison5951 Thanks for the clarification.
I'm glad to see another project that others may have sent to a metal recycling center restored. Perhaps not to original condition as others have pointed out but it's still in mint condition. I've actually seen these shovels painted tan for use in the desert.
I suppose someone who's been on the operator end of one of these tools should chime in here. Terminology can be important and this is one of those times. The proper nomenclature for this "shovel" is "entrenching tool." Shovels are what Jody used back on the farm to scoop manure. An entrenching tool is what a soldier uses to dig himself a fighting position deep enough to keep from getting his head shot off. An e-tool with a sharpened edge also makes a formidable weapon in close combat situations. With a full swing you can take a man's hand right off.
You are right Christopher. They are called an Entrenching Tool in the US military. Thanks for the correction.
Oh its not my son, its an infant male homosapien.
can it take your left hand off tho?
Christopher Moore It's a Pelle-Bêche.
If it were a French made item or even a item made for issue by the French military, you'd be correct. However, in this case it's a US Army issue M1943 Entrenching Tool.
I’ve watched all your videos, they are fantastic! Keep them coming! I’m a journeyman heavy equipment mechanic and I enjoy your procedure!
👍👍👍👍
