    Your videos are very easy to fall asleep to. I mean this is the most sincere way possible, this is a huge compliment.

      Gotta agree - there's something very calming / relaxing about the whole process being sped up to the point where you're barely hearing the loud thunder and lightning the tools would produce on their own in real time. I've fallen asleep many times watching the latest video because even though I was tired, I wanted to see the video, and after some time into the video, the whole process is so relaxing that it just let the sleep take over.

  • @Pentec

    One of my favourite parts of watching your videos is you restoring old tools, the patina of the older tool combined with the freshly attached handles always gives such great contrast!

  • @halilkhan2267

    It is very sad to abandon the robust tools of old times to rot .. Restoring them It is a pleasure to make it work again ...

    Bonus points for being a city kid and knowing what fence pliers are for. I was 27 before I discovered there were special pliers for working with fence wire - right about the same time I discovered that Vice-Grips weren't actually the stock window handles on a '62 Chevy pickup...
    Keep keepin' on, Brother!

      @robertlitman2661 8 років тому

      Those scissors especially have a LOT of soul! You can get tailor's bench shears made today, but I don't think they're made in the US any more, or with inlaid forge welded steel. Last summer I did a similar restoration of four pairs of garage sale found Wiss #20 shears, and they're now my favorite go-to shears. They looked about as bad starting out, but the inner hard layer of steel cleaned up amazingly well. I can't think of much stuff made today that will survive that kind of neglect.

    I really enjoy your videos, especially when you re-purpose old tools! I went to an auction a few weeks ago and bought a box of tools that the auctioneer said had been dug up from the ground. One is a huge J. H. Williams Superector ratchet handle. I took a length of 3" PVC and capped one end. I submerged the wrench handle into the pipe filled with white vinegar and let is set about a week. I then submerged the head in a bucket of the same. Amazing results from white vinegar! When I finish cleaning the ratchet pawls and oiling the whole thing down, it will be good as new. Thanks for the inspiration!

  • @dikotakreighbaum2430

  • @ryanmartinson4531

    Fantastic, Sir! I was a little confused about turning wooden handles on the Bridgeport, but it totally worked. All look super!

  • @allowaycar
    @allowaycar 8 років тому +1

    Very nice. As someone who has used many a fence tool walking miles of electrical fence, I'd never use that one if I didn't need to. You get shocked enough and you come realize how precious rubber grips are on those handles. Great work again!

  • @InformationIsTheEdge
    @InformationIsTheEdge 8 років тому

    A dollar each! I LOVE IT! A couple hours of time and a few more bucks in materials and, POW! Heirloom quality tools. You are the man, Jimmy!

  • @landonashby2029
    @landonashby2029 8 років тому

    Only difference between your fencing tool and the 30+ year old one in my Dad's tool box is he's got some worn in blue plasty dip coated handles. Hung a lot of barb wire and electric fencing with that tool. Great Restoration on all those tools got some real gems there!!!

    I have a 1/4" mortising chisel just like that from my grandfather. The handle has been beaten down to maybe 2 1/2" long, long before it came to me. I use it almost every day in the shop. 99% of the time, I'm just using hand pressure, but I've been meaning to make a new brass or copper ring for it for at least the last 15 years.

    I've found that when you're trying to submerge especially large or chunky items it's better to cover the items in plastick bags and tape the bags so that they fit the item cloesly. If you then fill the bags with vinegar you can cover the whole surface of the item with almost no vinegar.
