Hand Tool Rescue don't know if you watch blacksmith Chandler Dickinson or not, but he made a sharpener for the scythe. He had a hard time figuring out what the degree of the sharpener should be. After watching this, definitely see how difficult it would be and why this tool had to be a great time saver! Awesome video as always!!!
While it could have used a soak in Evapo Rust (he still did a great job of cleaning it) but the keeping the original paint was a big plus to me. Still Eric already has his time lapse videography and editing that is his trademark pretty much perfected by this time.
It's cool going back to the start of your channel and seeing how much you've grown as a content creator. You are my favorite restoration creator. Maple syrup and evapo-rust 100% Canadian made. Keep up the good work Eric. 👏 thank you for the content. When I can I'll join you on patreon.
This is a sickle my friend! www.google.co.uk/search?q=sickle&rlz=1CATAAB_enGB665GB667&espv=2&biw=1920&bih=942&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiA0equ45zSAhVK7RQKHWduAqsQ_AUIBigB#imgrc=mEN8bbDCUGMFjM:
Very interesting to see the whole story from teardown to final assembly then used on the job cutting grass. In 1953 I was lucky enough to learn to drive a McCormick-Deering kerosene powered tractor. It was used to mow the fairways at the local golf course where we lived. In that setting, the typical reel-type mowers were used on grass, and scrubby edges got the sickle-type side-mower. Great fun for an 8yr old, impossible today with Safety Nannies running amok.
We cut 8 acres of Bromegrass using a Farmall Cub with a belly mount sicklebar. Then we gathered it into winrows with a dump-rake that had large STEEL spoke wheels. (I sat on the seat and ran the dump lever. After it dried we pulled the rows together and made haystacks, which we sold on site. Those were good times.
Nice restoration. I'm glad you didn't repaint, looks great with the aged patina. I have enjoyed many of your videos since I found your channel. I really like the intro you have on your newer videos. Reminds me of the cheesy sitcoms from the 80s.
So glad you showed how it worked not just that it functions. I had no idea how it would sharpen a sickle. I had the long blade and long handle one in mind.
Glad I found this restoration. With the exception of the vertical (?) rod by the grinding stone, I have one just like the one you rehab'd. It is even locked up like when you started the process.
cool for some reason when i read sickle blade i had the image of a old fashioned scythe type thing even though i was i was raised on a farm and had seen those sickle bar attachments for tractors. I feel pretty stupid now.
Got here VIA Essential Craftsman. Spent summers on the farm and fell in love with the tools and equipment, not so with all the hard (honest) work all the live long day! Great channel, thanks!
My Grandfather had a Sickle blade hay mower exactly like this one (I'm 60) almost all of his equipment was McCormick Farmall, 2 tractors ("A" & "H" models), this mower, a hay baler which had it's own gas engine, and manure spreader, he didn't however have one of those sharpeners, I think he just used it till it was too dull then swapped out the blade or individual teeth (I don't ever remember seeing him sharpen it). Brings back happy memories, thank you for posting.
Kayinfso Here I started watching them at half or quarter speed. It's a little bit jittery, but it feels more like you're hanging out, building stuff :p a little less frantic.
Ha! Cross-fit, that's a good way to describe cleaning off old things like this! I've got an old gear with that IHC logo on it, different type of gear though (probably for a big clunky chain-drive) and I've never found much info on what it came from despite it having a number cast into it. Looks like it's good for another century! (though I wonder if a bit of paraffin would smooth the gears) Thanks for including that end-clip, the name 'sickle' was throwing me on what the mower looked like.
im loving this channel, im new. and while i realize that sometimes it cant be helped i love that this time you didnt strip off all the old paint and patina and kept it the way it was. it shows the age. tho you couldnt help yourself qwith the handle i see..lol well fan of your channel now so thanks for the content. I look forward to watching all your vids.
It's awesome to see those tools from pre-WW1 period that they are quite cleverly made and makes you appreciate the technology back then. More recent pieces like those from the 40s are just dirty /light damages as a result of abuse or neglect and need just some good cleaning.
Back in the 60's a guy made a sickle sharpener. It had a narrow flat table that held a sickle. He had a washing machine electric motor driving a rock like that hung down on swing arms and floated back and forth. It had two flat metal hold down clamps with a high leverage foot pedal to release it. The spring was off some old cultivator I think. We baled about 250,000 square bales every year and would drop off maybe a half dozen sickles every evening and pick up the ones he had sharpened for us. He also sharpened sickles for two or three other custom balers. I think he charged a dollar a sickle for a 7 ft sickle.
great job !! thanks for taking the time to share it :) I love old hand tools and love seeing them get a second chance, I am currently restoring a no. 1 1/2 boynton and plummer post drill and your videos really encourage me . my advice , VINEGAR! it works wonders. just soak your parts or your entire tool (if possible) overnight and scrub clean with a wire brush under running water. all seized parts will free up and any raw metal will be rust free , shiny and ready for paint or treatment! this is my favourite and cheapest method and has save me hour of manual labour.
Thanks! Ooooo...a post drill is definitely going to be a video in the future. I normally use evaporust, but the customer wanted as much of the original paint on the item as possible. I do need to get into electrolysis though!
Hand Tool Rescue you and I are in the same boat, I've wanted to try electrolysis and even plating .... hmm maybe one day and a post drill video would be great , I look forward to it :)
great work, ive watched all your vids and was sad to see ive already watched them all. this channel is gold. keep making them and open up a way for viewers to send you machines and tools to restore, you are quite the skilled handy man/restorator.
I’ve been binge watching all your videos. They’re awesome. This one just reminded me that I just saw one of these sickle sharpeners on Craigslist. Halfway tempted to get it and attempt to clean it up after watching this.
The McCormick-Deering brand was in use from 1923 to 1949, so that gives a hint about the age of the tool. I mowed a lot of hay with a tractor-mounted sickle bar mower when I was a kid on the farm. Never had one of those fancy sharpeners, though.
Nice video and a great project, the first 5:50 are just tearing it down if you don't want to sit through it then jump to that point and then the fun really starts.
you amaze me, I watch your channel all the time and STILL have not heard that first cuss word...I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DO IT! By far my favorite channel, I can sit watch for hours. Thanks for the vids
I don't trust my memory so well, especially if there's any chance I might be distracted or have to set it aside for a while. Digital cameras are my lifesaver for complex fixits, and for my electronics restoration hobby.

He had to have a reference as it was taken apart haphazard and the parts mixed up. For any thing you do not know you take of things in an order and place them in order on the bench,
Industrial Revolution.....Gears and springs and cranks and cams and links and toggles and such, combined with a somewhat "ostentatious" flair incorporated into the castings celebrating the new era of machines............I love the old stuff....
Hard to see from the demo at the end of the vid, but the sickle bar has two sets of teeth. They cut with a scissor action. I had a 7' sickle bar years ago. the bottom teeth were flat cut, like in the demo at the end. The upper teeth were serrated, no idea how those get sharpened. Those sickle bars can cut wicked fast. But most of the dedicated sickle bars have been replaced by heavy flail mowers. Great vid.
Had the identical unit on our farm (McCormick-Deering), sharpening the mower blades was last job before retiring for the evening, plus fueling the tractors, and greasing equipment. That stone needs to be trued, so it reaches to top of the V on the sickle blade sections. One question: Why did you dismantle everything, could have reached same finish by using a can of brake clean, a scraper, wire brush, and some rags, didn't replace, repair, weld, repaint anything, not even cotter pins?
Don't know if you'll see a comment on a video this old, but thought you'd want to know....watching this video triggered my first seizure in 40 years. Not joking, and it surprised me. I now know to avoid extended "fast-forward" sequences. Haven't noticed this sort of thing on any of your other videos. Just thought you'd want to know.
Hadn't ever seen a sharpener for a sickle bar mower before, very interesting. Last clip of example mowing, guy had no idea what he was doing. Sickle bar is only useful for tall upright grass and mower needs to be up off the ground
I've been watching a few of your videos recently and I've noticed you struggle a little bit with the cottorpins, might be worth investing in a set of cottorpins pullers.
Yeah, thats logical !! But the good tools today would never last as long as the good tools from back then !! Today that sharpener would probably be cast or made from pot metal!! And if it was as good, it would cost two grand!!!
I disagree there might have been bad tools but they didn't go out to buy a new one just like it they went out of business as in right now I have a couch is 40 years old in my garage pillows are still firm and not broke down one bit now my living room couch was bought 5 years ago and I need a new one to bad the one in my garage is ugly
I like your channel a lot. Another version of my hobby, restoration of old electronics, mostly test equipment. I did have a question. I find that it really pays to document how things are arranged before I start taking things apart, transformers with a dozen plus wires, or complex switches with sixty connections, things like that. Sometimes just handmade notes, sometimes photos or video. Do you do this for your projects? What methods do you like?
SUPER COOL VID.....I got an ....alas...incomplete one of these last weekend at an auction in south central Kansas........missing the crank handle, grinding wheel, and a few other parts, but only paid a dollar for it......this makes me want to fully rebuild mine.....any advice where to find the missing parts, without paying an arm and leg.....and also.....what's the resale value of this rebuilt little gem ?.........THANKS A MILLION FOR POSTING !!!!!!!........
Hate to say this, but a pressure washer would make your life a lot easier. Done a lot of tool clean up and restore (and not as a hobby, work on a farm, be amazed at the old stuff still in use), and its your best friend. Other than watching you work too hard, love the stuff you do. Enjoy! and Great videos.
Mate...excellent...good to see original paint left on..to many good things get lost under coats of glossy enamel...might as well buy a Chinese one if you paint it again...original patina..tips hat
Thanks! I wish I could power wash, but it's way too cold outside (-30C), haha. Sandblasting, I am working up to that. You need a fairly expensive air compressor to push enough air to sandblast for any useful amount of time.
i've been to several barn sales and garage sales and have never found anything as in good quality as these tools are. one sycthe i picked up, the blade broke in half instantly. where do i find tools like these that are actually rescuable? is it just luck or is there certain things to stay away from?

Thanks! Any tool you want to see next?
Yes, I will definite get to that.
vanship pilot yea its this channel or diresta
Hand Tool Rescue don't know if you watch blacksmith Chandler Dickinson or not, but he made a sharpener for the scythe.
He had a hard time figuring out what the degree of the sharpener should be. After watching this, definitely see how difficult it would be and why this tool had to be a great time saver!
Awesome video as always!!!
Hand Tool Rescue also have you thought about making a patreon page? The work you do is amazing and I'm sure people will support you!
I would love to see you go back and re-rescue this sharpener, with all of the techniques and tools you have added over the last three years.
Me too, compared to how he does things now, this seems like 'half' a job,
Couldn't agree more Tisha.
I agree this looks like he's at work not having fun lol.
I'm starting to recognise the age of the video based on the tools and techniques he uses. 😅
While it could have used a soak in Evapo Rust (he still did a great job of cleaning it) but the keeping the original paint was a big plus to me. Still Eric already has his time lapse videography and editing that is his trademark pretty much perfected by this time.
It's cool going back to the start of your channel and seeing how much you've grown as a content creator. You are my favorite restoration creator.
Maple syrup and evapo-rust 100% Canadian made. Keep up the good work Eric. 👏 thank you for the content. When I can I'll join you on patreon.
Thanks for adding the demo of it sharpening the sickle blade, I was having a hard visualizing it working....
I saw no sickle sharpened.
KR try watching the entire vid...at 12:19 there's a demo of a sickle sharpener in action....
This is a sickle my friend!

Still no sickle? Sickle sharpener yes...
That google says that that is a sickle doesnt mean that thats the only thing called a sickle..
I've been watching your videos for a while. I like them better when you make the things look like new again and working
Seems that he hadn't quite gotten his 'format' back then yet.

I did to. Minus the farm experience.
A Sickle is a hand tool with a sharp curved blade either on a short handle or a long handle.
Tadfafty McCormick made tractors.
Got here VIA Essential Craftsman. Spent summers on the farm and fell in love with the tools and equipment, not so with all the hard (honest) work all the live long day! Great channel, thanks!

Oh, I forgot the hay baler was a 'New Holland', plus hay rake and plow/disk/roller and tobacco setter.
bom dia
Man you have come along way since these days thanks for sharing
I like this serie of blade sharpener rescues, it's very interesting to analyze those mechanisms.
I'm always amazed at these rural devices and their Heath Robinson/Rube Goldburg nature. Great restoration!
loving the vintage tool restoration videos, keep them coming!
I love the restorations, when they get new paint too. They look great.
I'm glad you knew where all parts went back to. I'd of needed to take pictures of every thing as it came apart.
He did that exact thing....(in the form of video).....lol......Id have never gotten it reassembled even with photos!
Beautifully restored!
So happy I found you. I am getting hours of enjoyment!
Welcome!
Your videos are therapeutic to watch - congrats on another job, well done.
Kayinfso Here I started watching them at half or quarter speed. It's a little bit jittery, but it feels more like you're hanging out, building stuff :p a little less frantic.
I have one of these in my shed and had no Idea what it was used for, its seized up, but could work with some TLC. learnt something new today, thanks.
I didn't exspect that you build it again in the right way together...nice jobs
Essential brought me here. Happy to find another awesome channel
Welcome!
Why can't I hear any cussing when those cotter pins weren't coming out??
Ha! Cross-fit, that's a good way to describe cleaning off old things like this!

I've never seen a finger-bar mower in action IRL, this is a treat.

Thank you! Glad you like the video. I have some videos coming up with tools from viewers!

I expected buffs and repaint since disassembly was done so serious :)
Nice video and a great project, the first 5:50 are just tearing it down if you don't want to sit through it then jump to that point and then the fun really starts.
I much prefer your sympathetic restorations, I like them look old but well loved 😊
Love this type of raw video. I've got a feeling this channel is going to blow up if you keep up this quality content! You've earned a subscriber!
TAAT productions. Thanks! Definitely more to come.
Weren't you on to something huh? His most viewed video has more than 20 million views.
i love the ring of those old cast gears.
We have a similar mower and my dad sharpens the blades with an angle grinder, which does work, now i wish we had one of these proper sharpeners.
почему я не видел эти шедевры раньше ...я в восторге ..
This company singlehandedly kept the cotter pin manufacturer in business
you amaze me, I watch your channel all the time and STILL have not heard that first cuss word...I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DO IT! By far my favorite channel, I can sit watch for hours. Thanks for the vids
Haha thank you!
I have the exact mower this was used on just gotta pick one of these up now. Awesome channel btw
fantastic job remembering how to re-assemble it
Well, he had a video showing how he took it apart...:)...!
technology is a miracle right? you are not required to have a good memory anymore.
I don't trust my memory so well, especially if there's any chance I might be distracted or have to set it aside for a while. Digital cameras are my lifesaver for complex fixits, and for my electronics restoration hobby.
He had to have a reference as it was taken apart haphazard and the parts mixed up. For any thing you do not know you take of things in an order and place them in order on the bench,
That's probably how he started making you tube videos, the cameras great when your taking apart things you don't even know how to spell.
Essential Craftsman sent me to your channel. Now I'm a subscriber.
Welcome!

very special tool,i like the restoration
these old tools are build to last
atb

I love all the moving parts on this one. Nice and solid.
I know this is 3 plus years but this content could get new life with a new title like "rescuing an ancient hedger!'
When you can't pull out the cotter pins easily, you know they have been in the machine for a very, very long time!
Beautiful job!!

Hey that is cool...never seen or used one in all of my farming days. Thanks for sharing.
Dude. You are amazing. You do great work!!!
You've come a long way.
Great Videos! Keep them coming!
My father has an antique sickle bar trimmer. I always found it slightly terrifying. I just assumed the blades are always hand sharpen with a file.
Hard to see from the demo at the end of the vid, but the sickle bar has two sets of teeth.
They cut with a scissor action.
I had a 7' sickle bar years ago.
the bottom teeth were flat cut, like in the demo at the end.
The upper teeth were serrated, no idea how those get sharpened.
Those sickle bars can cut wicked fast.
But most of the dedicated sickle bars have been replaced by heavy flail mowers.
Great vid.
Some different from these videos compared to your newer videos!! But still a good watching well done
Nice job, I have one of these. It is missing parts.Good to see one in use.
Who the hell thinks these pieces of machinery up....someone with definitely more imagination than me. Good job again... 😁👍🏻🇦🇺
Had the identical unit on our farm (McCormick-Deering), sharpening the mower blades was last job before retiring for the evening, plus fueling the tractors, and greasing equipment. That stone needs to be trued, so it reaches to top of the V on the sickle blade sections.

I've been watching a few of your videos recently and I've noticed you struggle a little bit with the cottorpins, might be worth investing in a set of cottorpins pullers.
The good ole days they just don't make quality tools anymore all this stuff started the industrial revolution a lot of cool history!!
Well, actually only the good tools are left. I'm sure, they mady crappy stuff, too. But those tools have been thrown away decades ago.
Yeah, thats logical !! But the good tools today would never last as long as the good tools from back then !! Today that sharpener would probably be cast or made from pot metal!! And if it was as good, it would cost two grand!!!
But I really enjoy your channel Thanks
I disagree there might have been bad tools but they didn't go out to buy a new one just like it they went out of business as in right now I have a couch is 40 years old in my garage pillows are still firm and not broke down one bit now my living room couch was bought 5 years ago and I need a new one to bad the one in my garage is ugly
Hello! Very interesting channel! Good luck with rescue!
All I had to see was the name of your channel! 😆 👍👍👍 Good stuff! Happy to be your 100th sub!
Haha thank you! I owe you one for life now...
From 100 to 57k in 5 months. Well done!
good job..man this is a great recycle
So glad all the parts were there.
Hand Tool Rescue ok no problem....awesome good luck....😁😁😁
I like your channel a lot. Another version of my hobby, restoration of old electronics, mostly test equipment.
I did have a question. I find that it really pays to document how things are arranged before I start taking things apart, transformers with a dozen plus wires, or complex switches with sixty connections, things like that. Sometimes just handmade notes, sometimes photos or video. Do you do this for your projects? What methods do you like?
+Joseph Cote Filming is definitely key for me
I've actually used one of these. Worked! Not well but better than a file.

Me Too
Same here! Essential Craftsman and Hand Tool Rescue are my favorite channels lately.
Well now I'm gonna go check out essential craftsman. I'll tell em hand tool rescue sent me.
Ditto :)

I like your work
Helpful guide of how to use vice grips
Fascinating design
how the hell does he know how to put it back together? impressive!
Уc меня тоже есть такой станок. Собираюсь отреставрировать правда точильный камень плохой . И не знаю где взять
Estou adorando ver as restaurações anteriores obrigado
Great job! If I take something apart that has 3 pieces, when I put it back together I have 2 pieces left over.
A good informative and entertaining video.
too cool. What do you do with the tools you restore that you don't have a need for?
very cool. the second video at the end really informed me. very nice video.
Hate to say this, but a pressure washer would make your life a lot easier. Done a lot of tool clean up and restore (and not as a hobby, work on a farm, be amazed at the old stuff still in use), and its your best friend. Other than watching you work too hard, love the stuff you do. Enjoy! and Great videos.
Thanks! Yes, I 100% need to fix mine. Most of these videos were made in the winter though, so pressure washing is unlikely.
Mate...excellent...good to see original paint left on..to many good things get lost under coats of glossy enamel...might as well buy a Chinese one if you paint it again...original patina..tips hat
Nice work! subscribed!
Great video. I wonder how many people know what a sickle blade is?
Cool stuff! I like watching this type of stuff. Why not power wash or like sand/walnut blast the parts?
Thanks! I wish I could power wash, but it's way too cold outside (-30C), haha. Sandblasting, I am working up to that. You need a fairly expensive air compressor to push enough air to sandblast for any useful amount of time.
Nice job.
have tried to soke some parts in diesel? it really penetrates tight spots,lubricates and helps rust removal?
That does work also.
The pace of work reminds me of that moment I hear the bosses car outside and I have been on my arse with a cuppa for half an hour
i've been to several barn sales and garage sales and have never found anything as in good quality as these tools are. one sycthe i picked up, the blade broke in half instantly. where do i find tools like these that are actually rescuable? is it just luck or is there certain things to stay away from?
I can't imagine the engineering to figure out the the gear ratios of all those gears!
Just tossing this out there. This would make a great "re-visit" for a full resto?
какой нужный механизм!!!!
