Very nice restoration - it was nice to have no power tools in the video It's making me consider to get hand tools

I only started using hand tools more seriously in the last 2 years and I love it! Just make sure you learn to get blades perfectly sharp first! A dull hand tool is unbelievably frustrating aha
beautiful job. the gouges look to be buck brothers, however, I thing some European chisels have similar handles, and buck brothers are usually stamped.

The chisels have no markings on them. All I can say is that they are rosewood and seem to be at least in part forged. They also seem a little delicate compared to some of the older ones so my best bet is they are from around 1920s-1950s but I could be horribly wrong aha
the square is a Stanley. identified by the brass ornament on the sides, the level id ???

Thanks! I expected it may have came from Stanley. The level I have a feeling it is by some smaller brand. It’s not the wood Stanley ever used as far as I know (it’s oak) and no features of it resemble any brands I know. it’s a small one so I’m not sure it was ever really intended for professional use. May be a “cheap” one but of course, being at least 40 years old, cheap back then is nice now!
Thanks for the video. It's very pleasant to watch.👍
Really nice result! Thanks for the relaxing moment, almost ready to sleep!
Old tools that look nice and feel good to the touch bring joy and calm to the work. Well done!
Thanks for sharing! Feeling more relaxed myself :)
Well done. I am so calm I think I can ween off my blood pressure meds now.

Cést magnifique!
2:46 I wonder if you have tried a polish called never dull. I have found it works well on many metals and it's so easy. They sell it at Canadian Tire.
Encore du beau travail. Come le disait Pallet TV c'est agréable sans machine outils. Bravo :)

Looks like Brazilian rosewood, beautiful timber and tools
What finish did you use?
The level and square are tung oil and the gouges are a generic oil finish. It looked really thick just because it’s old and almost gone bad aha
@ is there a functional reason behind the choices?
The chisels need a harder finish since they run in your hands a lot and the others don’t so I went for tung oil since it’s quick and easy.
