Restoring a Massive Chisel

  • In this video I restore a destroyed slick that I found at an antique tool collectors meetup for $5. It was in really rough shape and was really abused. It had hammer dents all over it, the socket was mushroomed out, and it had a big piece of rebar hammered into it. I completely took it apart, and restored it to the best of my abilities that wouldn't require heavy amounts of grinding.

    That is what's called a slick and is a tool used in boat building. The grip should be around 24" . You have a great tool there

  • @crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230
    @crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230 3 роки тому

    Really Nice! Did you consider putting a micro-bevel on the cutting edge? A 5-degree one usually lets the blade cut much easier through the wood.

    • @TheRussianWoodworker
      @TheRussianWoodworker  3 роки тому

      Thanks for watching! I've heard of them but since I sharpen by hand most of the time there is already a bit of a micro bevel from that. Also this piece has such a huge weight that if you get it decently sharp it will just go.

      I'm not sure if you checked out my more recent videos, but I recently redid a 4-in wide slick. If you know anything about slicks it's a very uncommon size and I had to do a fair amount of work to it to get it into a usable state. It's a good watch if you have some extra time.

      They were used in shipbuilding and for building timber framed houses. They performed as a quick way to remove lots of material

  • @ilantzur02
    @ilantzur02 5 років тому +1

    You should have measured the inner diameter of the chisel before wood turning, it could have been thinner than necessary.
    And you should have kept the patina

    • @TheRussianWoodworker
      @TheRussianWoodworker  5 років тому +1

      Personal preference, and you must've skipped over the part where I used calipers to get the inside diameter of the slicks socket while I was turning...

    Before you sharpen any chisel you must flatten the back first. There are a lot of videos showing how to do that. If you don't you will never keep it sharp.

    • @TheRussianWoodworker
      @TheRussianWoodworker  4 роки тому

      Thanks for watching. I flattened the back just did not show it for very long. If you check out my other videos I restored a large 4 Inch slick that was badly warped and I did a better job showing what I did
