Antique Foster Bros. Meat Cleaver Restoration (Chef’s / Butcher’s knife)
In this video I restore a Foster Brother's antique meat cleaver that I found at an estate sale for 5 dollars. I start off by removing the original handles and then all of the rust. After that I sand down the imperfections. Then polish it and use Birchwood Casey's Perma Blue. I shape new handles for it out of figured walnut and stabilized them using Wood Juice. I made the spacers out of G10, then attach them all with brass pins and epoxy.
The final product came out great, the cold blue gives the steel a nice rich and varied blue color. Direct sunlight really brings out the detail and color. So, at the end of the video I have added some still shots to better capture and those details.
I hope you enjoy the video!

102 Year Old Stanley #5 Plane (TOOL RESTORATION / PRESERVATION)

It's been sitting out back on his workbench the last couple years, unused and exposed to the elements. After he passed away I bought it from the family so that I could restore it. Originally, I thought it...

Переглядів 58 тис.5 років тому
In this video I am restoring a Stanley number 71 1/2 router plane. It is a type 4. This type would've been made between 1911 and 1924. On the plane body the patent date is October, 29 1901. I got this plane from an estate sale about a month ago. I bought a bunch of stuff together and probably ended up paying only a couple bucks for it... It was in really rough condition when I got it. As you ca...

    It turned our gorgeous. A lot of times preserving keeps the old character rather than restoring to looking brand new. I just got an old Craftsman plane, which seems to be a No.5, and I want to restore it. Unfortunately, I'm not sure of the year of the tool or even if it's all original. Nevertheless, I will take this on as my very first project and will certainly refer back to your video. Thanks so much! Very informative.

    Grinding that tip off to even it out made it immediately apparent how hard that steel is. Man did that put up a fight, and that was a boatload of sparks... very satisfying.

    Beautiful restoration, just as a tip you can get better results with the brass let them on lemon juice for a night so in the morning you just go and wipe it up with paper, seriously it does all the job and we no need to use metal brushe that might scratch it a little bit. IMHO...

    I hope this is helpful, as I haven't seen anyone mention it. BOTH the No 5C Type 11 and Type 12 had 3 Patent stamps. The way you tell them apart is by the adjustment nut (knob). There were two sizes of adjustment nuts made: An adjustment nut 1" in diameter (called a 'small') is only on the type 11 and an adjustment nut 1 1/4" in diameter (called a 'large') is a type 12. There is no way to distinguish a type 11 from a type 12 by just the number of listed patents:).

    • @acraftsmansarsenal

    What specific wire wheels were you using on the grinder and the Dremel?

    • @acraftsmansarsenal
      @acraftsmansarsenal 10 місяців тому

      The wire wheel on the grinder is a Forney brand, fine bristle (which I highly recommend). The wire wheel that I used with the Dremel is not intended for use with a Dremel and it’s just a “no name”. I couldn’t tell you where to find them. I think I got that one at an estate sale.

    I love the fact that you made it fully functional again, but still kept most of the pitting. You conserved the history and the scars of this beautyful tool. Just imagine how many hands and people used these scissors before you, and how many decades of life are still left on it. Thanks for sharing.

    What material did you use for the gasket? I need to change the gasket on mine, leaked on me and almost singed my hand. Probably should change the crusty felt (the filter part) too, didn't think to just use a big cotton ball but that seems to work just fine.

    • @acraftsmansarsenal
