A129 year old tool , brought back , and probably good for another 129 years . The basic design of this tool is still in use at framing shops and quality furniture makers . Excellent job !!!
My recently passed father (91) was a builder...I discovered the same type of guillotine type miter cutter. Looks like it's well over 100 years old. I remember playing with it when I was very young, forgot all about it but just discovered it again when I inherited my fathers house with all his very old tools...a very cool old school tool!
Wow when I saw the antique miter before you started on the project, I thought to myself that, that would be a fantastic job to do. And so you did. Congratulations well done Sir 👏👏
These are fantastic tools.....especially the older ones with better steel..... Once you use one, you will never be satisfied with trying to cut another miter any other way.... Fantastic job on the restoration..Nicely done..and not overdone.... Enjoy it and pass it down to the next couple of generations..!!!
I have found your channel and subscribed today. I am very happy to watch a true craftsman using period tools ( and using them properly!). Many of the restoration videos from others show clumsy work ethic and improper tool for the job and improper use of the tool. Thank you for making videos showing the proper and correct use of tools! I am a retired Master Packaging machine Repairman and spent many hours of restoring and retrofitting industrial machinery and find a sublime joy in seeing the job done properly in your videos!
Thank you very much. I’m just a self taught amateur trying my best to rescue these old tools. I’m learning new skills every day. Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel.
Wow MTW... ! Yet another superb restoration! Very well done Sir! You made all the right decisions in terms of finish... bare metal and Danish oil... just what was required. The overall effect is beautiful - even the casting imperfections add to the character. And what a machine! It seems to cut perfect miters. Thanks for sharing, more please! Greetings from Southport.
Reminds me of fixing things with my father when i was a kid, but there needs to be more beer, swearing, and hours spent trying to figure out how it goes back together.
great, less is often more. finally someone who doesn't destroy the patina! I don't like when sanding, filling, sanding and painting again! please keep it up 🤗👍👍👍👍👍 Michael
Love the metal finish, without paint. Classy. Oooooh and a white worktop and back-drop🧡Keep the uploads coming please. We need them in the UK more than ever 🧡
Thanks. I’m glad you lied it. I’m trying to improve my lighting, hence the white background. I’m trying my best to keep videos coming. Thanks for watching.
I think there's a lot of people they don't know what you are doing. You doing fantastic job and you And you deserve all appreciation, admiration and respect. Beautiful job man and thanks for the video God bless you 🙏👍
That came out really well and I like the oiled finish. It’s looks to have had some repair work done over the years and a new handle added as well but it’s still an awesome piece. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺
I have two of these I picked up a while ago (not sure if the same makers, but definitely in as bad conditions! ) and have been putting off attempting to restore them..you have encouraged me to dig them out! Thank you!
Very nice. I’m glad I could inspire you. This is what I’m here for. If I could save one tool from being scrapped then my job is done. Enjoy your restorations.
Beautiful! ... I keep hoping I can find one of these in good enough condition that its restorable. Most are beat and broken around here. At least previous repairs to yours were done well. Thanks for sharing!
That was a epic build 50 to 60 parts fantastic job looks amazing and the color just right thanks for sharing your time and skill amazing just amazing stay safe 🍺🍺🍺🍺👍👍👍👍😷😷
About Danish oil for other materials than wood I didn't hear too, but I have new scissors for metal in the conservation oil. I can't cleaning this viscous and sticky substance all the time!
I know this is three years later, but most professional framers use a Morso style guillotine as it's much faster, but definitely if you're doing smaller quantities of frames a mitre guillotine like this would be brilliant. Combined with a mitre box or a Nobex style saw, a hand drill, some pins and nails you can do framing with no power tools the oldschool way (I am a professional framer by day with access to all the modern machines, but in my home workshop I do it the old way by hand, very satisfying)
A tradie wouldn't carry this around in his kit in 1890, in fact it would have cost 6 months wages. I guess it was out of a furniture production shop or an undertaker for making coffins. I saw one of these when I was a kid in 1950, my dad was a SP bookie and we visited lots of small joinery shops in the inner city industrial areas where there were a lot of craftman shops. Long time passing!!! Stephan
Keeping the metallic look I think its much nicer; often we see with other restoration video's that they almost always spraypaint evrything! And than 'highlight' the lettering, with makes it according to my taste almost like the look of a cheap toy. The approach in this video is much more monumental, almost sculptural. Nice !
I couldn’t have said it better myself. Thank you very much. This is more than just a tool, It is a beautiful historical piece of art. My job as the owner of such a piece is just to clean and let it speak for itself.
15:38 < Previous weld job on the swinging section. I was hoping for a new paint job, but to each their own. It looks way better than it did. Good work! Subbed!

Thank you. It took me a long time to find this gem. Enjoy your dads tools, I love the old school tools.
Love that you Lube everything before taking it apart, unlike other channels that make you wait for eveything...Thanks
I’ve never seen one of these and was skeptical that it did a very good job until that very last cut. Extremely satisfying!
Excellent job. Thank you for saving this great antique tool. Thanks to you it will last another 100 years. Best regards from the USA
Thank you. This is my goal. I love saving old unwanted tools and giving them a chance to live on
Wow, never thought that it was going to work as well as it did...good job...😊
The workshop might be tiny but your skills aren't.Well done Bro.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wow when I saw the antique miter before you started on the project, I thought to myself that, that would be a fantastic job to do. And so you did. Congratulations well done Sir 👏👏
Thank you. I’m glad you liked it
Great respect to designers, manufacturers, careful owners and you!

Thank you, I’m glad you like it. The casting marks tell a story, it would be a sin to destroy such history.
Perfect restoration of an amazing tool. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Ukraine.
Reminds me of fixing things with my father when i was a kid, but there needs to be more beer, swearing, and hours spent trying to figure out how it goes back together.
Sounds like fun times. Thanks for watching
Awesome restoration. You got it working again and looking better as well. Great work.
Great restoration. The trimming looks and sounds really satisfying
great, less is often more. finally someone who doesn't destroy the patina! I don't like when sanding, filling, sanding and painting again! please keep it up 🤗👍👍👍👍👍
Michael
Thank you. I judge each restoration differently. Something like this deserves to tell a story.
I like how the cutters travel in an arc. Neither my Fox Champion nor my Lion/Pootatuck have this feature. Now I want one like yours!
Incredible my friend boggles my mind how resourceful we humans were. Love your channel I get entertained 🤔and educated on the side 👍
Love the metal finish, without paint. Classy.

Absolut Steller resto ration. I love these old machines!! Built to last YEARS>>>>>
im so glad you showed it in action at the end!
That is what a lot of these resto sites forget, show the darn thing doing what it wants to do.
I think there's a lot of people they don't know what you are doing.
You doing fantastic job and you And you deserve all appreciation, admiration and respect.
Beautiful job man and thanks for the video
God bless you 🙏👍

Absolutely perfect! Well done mate!
Thank you
An excellent restoration... WELL DONE!!! 10/10
Thank you
That's a really amazing tool and you did a wonderful job restoring it
Thank you very much

Very nice. I’ve started a few restorations since watching your videos. Keep on inspiring me sir

Thanks a lot.
Love it! Need for my shop..thanks for restoring.
Another cracking video and what a lovely bit of kit, I like how you just left it unpainted, it looks the business 😎👌
Thanks very much, glad you like it
Lovely tool, very nice resto.
That looks amazing. I’d never have thought to use Danish oil on metal!
Same here, I saw this technique on another restorers video.
About Danish oil for other materials than wood I didn't hear too, but I have new scissors for metal in the conservation oil. I can't cleaning this viscous and sticky substance all the time!
Hand Tool Rescue likes to use Danish oil on metal and he's got a black japanning recipe that looks authentic.

Brilliant restoration I always struggle to remember where the screws go so shy away from complicated jobs even when I take photos.
Thanks for sharing
I’d happily take a car apart and reassemble. I’ll only have a few bolts leftover
Beautiful. Well done
Looks and works great, well done.
Absolutely Beautiful!
Its amazing what can be done with just two adjustables and a can of WD40 ! Brilliant restoration Well done
A lot can be done with simple tools and perseverance
Great work as always but i was SO looking forward to a great paint job on this one
wow one of these would have been good back in my framing days. awesome restoration!
It’s a shame so many framers didn’t / don’t know about this tool.
I know this is three years later, but most professional framers use a Morso style guillotine as it's much faster, but definitely if you're doing smaller quantities of frames a mitre guillotine like this would be brilliant.

I dig the Danish oil look. Nice job.
Thank you

Awesome restoration for an awesome piece.
Thank you
Nice cleaning job!!! looks great MTW.
Thank you.
Great job and I liked the Danish oil.
Thank you. Glad you like it
Nicely done, sir. Had not seen this type of tool before, but looks like it could definitely do the job.
Thanks, glad i could show you something new
that'a a great tool and a great restoration
Thank you
I love the way you work... your esthetic. I am betting that when you finished, it looked and worked better than new.
Thank you very much. I really appreciate this comment.
Well done. Amazing job.
Big job, that´s very nice.
Nice restoration
Wow. I like it! Especially the Danish oil. Didn't know that would work on metal.
Neither did I until I saw someone else do it.
Wow. Super nice!! I’d love to find some of these old tools. I think they work better than the new crap!
Absolutely. There sure is a reason why such a dirty and rusty tool can still work after 100 years.
Excellent work. It was a joy to watch. Greetings from USA
Thank you for watching
Outstanding job 👍
Thank you
Good Restoration Done 👍
👏 👏 👏
Thank you
Very nice job. I never knew anything like that existed.
Thank you, glad I could show you something different.
thats one hell of a find for only ten quid ! You're certainly building up a beautiful old tool collection, can't wait till the next one, stay safe.
Many old things have sizes that don't conform to any standard
Absolutely. I did have to drive a few hours but it was so worth it.
I really love this. It's a bit like 'The Great British Mangle Project'
Thanks glad you like it
Outstanding
Love your work 😎👍
Thank you. Much appreciated
This fine restoration is an excellent exercise in how patience and perseverance provide fine results. Thank you. Best wishes and stay healthy.
Thank you very much, I’m glad you like it
Truly amazing what you do.
Thank you very much.
Great job I hope to get as good as you with my restoration projects
The main thing is to have fun and do what you like and want. I’m still learning new skills every day.
using a chisel for a giant screwdriver! genius! I am totally stealing that!
That's cool.... I'm from Grand Rapids, MI
Very nice restoration.
Thank you
Beautiful work….🔨⛏️🛠️🔧🔩⚙️🗜️👍
Muhteşem bir çalışma oldu, tebrikler dostum. Zamanımızda bile çok işe yarayacak bir aletmiş bu.
I would love to find and restore one of these. I would then put it to work. Great Video
I hope you find one. It’s a joy to work with
Nice piece... 👍
Thank you.

Thanks for sharing. I like hearing stories like this.
Que buen trabajo. Que bella herramienta. Ahora vale mucho más. 👍
13:39 Great shot! 😃
So far 187 didn't like it. Why not? Beautiful job and I like your reassembly technique good watching.
Thank you. Glad you liked it. Not everyone can be pleased. If only they could share what they didn’t like.
I like ur video keep up the good job thank.
Muy buena restauración. Enhorabuena. Un saludo
Thanks
Very kewl job dam that is Sharp.
Great Job!
Thank you. Much appreciated
Good job! i was surprised you didn't paint it and fix some of the rust pits in it.
Beautiful.
Thank you
definitely a thing of beauty now.
Thank you

15:38 < Previous weld job on the swinging section. I was hoping for a new paint job, but to each their own. It looks way better than it did. Good work! Subbed!
I love that unpainted look 🙂
Amazing, excelente trabalho.
Thank you
Sandblasting is my favorite part of the restoration process.
Awsome!
Very nice work.. That bare metal looks really nice.. Good job, as Hancock would say...
90/100
Hi bro 👍👍👍 awesome restoration 👍👍👍good video 👌🏽
Thanks bro
great videoi
You need to buy an impact driver for those stubborn screws, using a chisel to lever with is dangerous lol. Love the finished article and the channel.
Thanks for the tip. Glad you like the work and channel.
Отличная работа! Привет из Беларуси!
good work
Thank you
Awesome.
Thank you
