- 1945 Army Folding Shovel Restoration
I found this shovel at bigest Army flea market in France, this shovel was mass produced in France, is made in 1945.
The man who sold me this shovel was a veteran and told me that recived this shovel with his equipment.
This shovel was very rusty and the moving parts were stuck.
I will keep this shovel in trunk of my car, will be very good on winter if i remain stuck somewhere :)) i hope not

Thank you for watching my video! After you finish watching you should check this Yellowed Playstation PS1 here: 😎🥰 ua-cam.com/video/4HBr8NE17oc/v-deo.html
Hello there, where did u manage to find a spare part aluminium nut ring? I need a replacement as well to restore. Thank u in advance.
Very easy video to watch with no nastty music playing over the sound of to0ls,thank you & hope you have a nice one!
thank you so much 😊
@@TysyTube Your ver welcome,and c(_) Cheers c(_)
I agree. I don’t want some fker cracking out a concerto watching this type of video
No cheesy fuckin intro too
@@villain1409 R/hadastroke
This guy is not a professional this is a hobby of his to restore stuff to a usable state he isn't trying to do a museum restoration. The history channel made everyone an expert i guess. There's different types of restoration at least he's making things usable again like they were meant to be and they aren't siting and corroding. If u want a professional to the t museum quality restoration don't watch a hobbyist.
Jocelyn Grek i complitly agree with you, the only minus from me is the part when he makes the metal smooth, in rest very nice work.
But muh PATINA!!!

It was useable anyways it's a shovel one in my garden covered with rust still digs a hole

Classic narcissus
I don’t really get all the hate on this video. If you have criticism, that’s good, but to just be outright mean to a guy? What’s the point? If you don’t like his restoration you can click off or go restore your own. He’s just showing us his skills, there’s no need to be so harsh.
thank you so much 😊
@J C its a mix of that and the history behind the item itself the restoration was nice at the end though I will admit for what it actually was being and any shovel it didn't really ebd up looking like an army just kinda liked like a replica which was abit of a shame though there's probably a decent amount of people who got pissed off by that though with it being most likely quite a common piece of equipment from the time its not like he was defacing some are artifact from the war or anything
The Odd Rabbit that’s true. I know a lot of painting restoration is solely about restoring the painting to what the artist intended it to be, so I see that as a fair point. Thank you for replying in such a civil way.
@@lucyk8935 no problem
@@otterino1419 No one said it was a historical restoration. It was a restoration to make it look nice.
Those pins were solidly entrenched in those holes. Good thing you managed to dig them out eventually. Cos those results must yield satisfaction in spades. I dig that kinda thing.
To much shovel pun
Just dig
Ouch! Those puns hurt! So why did I chuckle?
Back in the 1960's, my dad had one of these. It was painted army green. He called it his "trench tool". As kids, we had fun with it.
Imagine digging a trench then beating your siblings or friends over the head with it. “Hey billy, look what I made!” *Clonk*
I remember some narcissistic sergeant had me digging a pit in bed rock for three days, the stripes all got their kicks yelling at me why wasn’t I down to stage 2 yet and giving out punishment. Wonder why I don’t like authority?
But it's not a 1960s e tool because I have a 60s e tool it has the pick in it to this is a ww2 us e tool the folding shovel hince this one was made in 1944 to 1945 with the pointed end
I keep watching this hoping to see more of this guy. So far it's been just his hot forearms.
He must have a great workout regimen along with his hobby!
👀 How can u have a crush on someone with knowing only so little asking 4 a friend
Ikr I keep hoping he will show his face one day so we can see what he looks like.i wouldn't say hot arms lol arms aren't my thing but it wouldn't surprise me if he were good-looking.
@@MommytoConnor09 just watch his video where he restores a heater you can see a glimps of his face if you pause it right lol
We should start a petition to see his face!
Love the videos but maybe next video restore a hammer looks like you need one :)
🤣🤣
thank you so much 😊
he has a hammerbut i like your joke ver fun
I thought that was quite effective use of the wrench hammer.
ok i laughed harder then i should have at that.
American troops, including myself, carried the same shovel, but it was painted Olive Drab or OD. To be true to the nature of the item and its history, a restoration should have been with the original color. Just my opinion.
Nothing that a little bit of Internet Research couldn't have uncovered if you're unfamiliar with US Military paint schemes, but overall a great job of resurrecting this back from the dead.
heyi get youwant to expose people AHEM Mr. Truth but the internet one isine always raigt and 2 he couldve been in a diffrent troob or even military service too so get Your facts straight and leave this poor man alone
I can't believe that a military organization would send someone to the front lines with a bright shiny silver tool. It would become an instant signaling device. And, opinions are like armpits, everyone has a couple and some of them stink! Say what you want Mr. Truth. I know what I carried as part of my equipment. Have a great day.
@@janetlheureux7407 - Hi Snowflake.... I'm sorry you're all triggered and butthurt but unless you've ever been in ANY military, you have no idea how important the proper camo pattern or paint color is on the gear for the troops to help improve their survivability in different environments during times of conflict or war. Besides, if TysyTube isn't worried about what I said, why are you? My comment was not directed at Earl, it was for Tysy.
@@Seabee_133 - I happen to agree with what you said and my comment was not directed at you, it was for Tysy. If Tysy isn't worried about it since I got a "loves my comment" from him, it's all good... relax. No one was or is attacking anybody... :)
Tysy: *tries using nail set and hammer to loosen the pin*
Shovel: Lol loser
Tysy: *breaks out the Makita angle grinder*
Shovel: *sweats profusely*
Some one should edit over this and put eyes and mouths on all the pieces looking sad/concerned/ mad when there tools and happy when there fixed 🤣🤣 haha
I remember the days of trying to dig a bunker out of rocky ground with one of these while the unit next to us had engineers bring their earthmovers. Good video.
I'm more of a traditionalist and woulda painted it in the original OD green, but it's not my project and I do admire a good restoration.... you did a great job and now I really like the end result
Nice, very relaxing without music, ok then time for bed 🛏 🥱
"It didn't want to move."
As an Army vet I can assure you that even when these little terrors are new, they don't want to move. 😄
Beautiful work, as always!
Great. Restoration. I’ve watched several on UA-cam involving rusty bolts/nuts. Most use a penetrating oil and brute force. Not too often is heat used. I’ve used a torch to loosen frozen nuts that have been on a part for 50 years and it has worked every time.
Yup good ‘ol Kroil and heat works wonders in my experience.
Best looking M43 I’ve ever seen. The “officers dress entrenching tool”, love it !
I like how he is doing his own hobby very much people are not doing it, and I like how he chose something that he probably or has never done
Tysy: don't worry I bought a few spare parts
Mymechanic: I make a new one
What a fun restoration it didn’t occur to me that it folded until you folded it. Glad you were able to replace the broken piece.
Is very hot dog
4:56
I laughed at that part too.
Don't worry, I buyed extras
cbjfan99 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
well then be careful dawg ^^
I came to comment this 😂😂
I remember this shovel. This is the best shovel I have ever used back in the 70's. Brings back alot of memories.
Another interesting resto with great end results. Hope the orginal owner is impressed with the final result. I can understand where you're coming from with the colour. If the final outcome isn't durable, do find alternatives. Ignore what the whingers say....your channel, your products, your resto, so you do what you like. All good bro 👍👍
thank you so much for your support 😊👍
Well said!
I don't care what anybody says, he is always doing outstanding stuff and I enjoy the work he does.
I wish i had a shovel like that. That thing is awesome. I don't think it really matters what color it is. Its for personal use more than likely anyways
what a transformation! it seems that the shovel has served its time in the army and now returned home with veteran glory and started a new civilian page, therefore polishing is certainly a nicer finish than the original olive drab. well done!
There were hundreds of thousands made, for and by different nations.
Since its not a weapon or weirdly specific kit- many exist as a normal piece of house hold tool.
Rather see it shined up than thrown away
Good job
Unless you're spetznaz, then it's a tomahawk.
Oh. My. God. That’s such a cute anvil
They don't build them like that anymore. Quality craftsmanship
Just a tip, heat can help loosen up parts, so if you have a stuck bolt or thread try hitting it with a blowtorch for a bit, doesn't always work but it can
This reminds me of the epic and heroic variants of weapons call of duty ww2. Epic being well rusted and worn, while heroic looks factory new.
Don't mind some comment... People will always complain even though you do the same way they say...
i realize that 🤣👍
Says the guy complaining about people complaining.
Mj J lol came here to say this
Finally the shovel has been left military service and is now a civilian. These is my favourite project so far. Top marks.
thank you so much 😊
I've used the shovel during my time.
Seeing it this pretty is funny to me. It was always broken, full of dirt and stuck haha
as always, great work however I would have kept the shovel consistent to military issue; of course that could always be done in the future with some paint and usage.
Really nice to see an old piece come back to life after so many years great work my friend
thank you so much 😊
That was both interesting and hilarious, thank-you 😁
"I personally would have done this..."
Well then you do that on your own restorations and let him enjoy the process of doing his own. Learning by your own hand is part of the process, people have got to stop acting as if there's one way to learn/achieve an outconme.
I know! So many comments are like "I wouldn't have done that", "this isn't the right colour", "let me suggest you..."
Like everyone is suddenly an expert or what? If you know better you're not forced to watch! Let us enjoy his beautiful work!
When you have an ORIGINAL dated 1944 with the ORIGINAL green paint still on the actual metal, a solid oak handle, and the poly(I believe it's what they used)still on it and you cringe the whole time while he fucks it up.
Hello, I have a shovel just like that. My father brought it in the 70s when he was in the army, it has a brand. USA 1945 is in better condition than the one you restored. Taking your video as an example, I will leave it as best I can .. Thanks, I'm Daniel from Buenos Aires Argentina
I know that people prefer just to oil the wood, but if it was a unique tool of the army I think it should have been painted again in military green, that part of the history of the tool that tells you what it belonged to.
Tysy.. the next time u have a shovel to restore with that much rust.. Take the shovel and go dig some holes.. it should eliminate about 90% of the rust.. I learned that one from experience... Keep up the great restorations...
I used to have one of these shovels! I just realized I accidentally left it in the trunk of my Torino when I sold it. ::Kicks self:: then, ::Kicks self for selling Torino in the first place:: Excellent job on the restoration. Like the handle a lot. I knew you were going to break off the aluminum grip, so don't worry man- that's just the nature of those things.
A lot of experts in the comments, wow. Great video
Those veiny arms are something else 😍
up主挺认真呀，差不多每个回复都给点赞了。
The beginning of the video is how equipment looks when issued, the end is how they expect it to look when turned in. Every soldier ever.
CIF would still kick it back
Why are people being rude, he is nice enough to record his restoration vids so everyone can see and people for some reason feel the need to be rude.
"restoration"
Nobody:
Tysy: I’m about to *sand* this man’s whole career.
Very Nice Restoration
You gotta admit, you went straight to the comments when the captions said ‘is very hot dog’ at 4:56
Simple tool and fine restotration!
Great restoration TYSY.
but as someone mentioned in a previous video,I also think investing in a sand blaster would make a huge difference.
He has one now. Still cool to watch the older, simpler vids.
I don't know if you intended it but this made me teary eyed thinking of the soldier it may have belonged to and the honor you gave this simple tool in its restoration.
thank you so much 😊,I have this from the original owner, and was very happy when i told them that i will restore
Hi, Gaby! Great job on that shovel. I have one just like it. You've inspired me to restore it. I didn't know it could look so great. Amazing! Thanks for sharing your skills. I really like the variety of items you choose to restore. Take care, my friend.
thank you so much 😊
There is the cute little red anvil again 😍
No comments involving tf2?
Wait till i market garden them then
Soldier will be proud.
Dammit! You beat me too it! xD
Each and everyone of you will be sent home to your momma in a box!
I fighting insures victory then we must fight
Sun su said that
@@phellipevelazquez5948 and I say he knows a little bit more about fighting then you do pal, because he invented it!
He has made the funny shovel man proud
This man is going off on old army equipment
Good job tysy t. 😉👍👐👏👐👏👐👏
That was the one trouble with these shovels the aluminum nut would corrode and was a bugger to undo. You Aced this one I like it..
So shiny...... i luv it
Don't understand the hate either... this guy makes incredible videos.. and btw..all his restorations are above museum quality..
It's amazing how quickly you can dig a hole with one of them when you are being shot at!
What are you 89 years old?
Take this rod and shovel; I ain't rusty here no more... Perfect restore.
El trabajo que realiza este sujeto es indudablemente increíble
thank you so much 😊
So simple and elegant. You make it look beautiful.
some tips for you, do not stroke the file backwards, it will ruin the file pretty fast, always lift the file on the back stroke. an easy way to get rid of rust is to use evaporust as it wont eat the metal away (that vinegar does) and it only removes the rust very quickly. evaporust is a non-toxic, non-acidic solution and after use it leaves a protective film on the de-rusted item that protects it for about a week and its easy to remove, just rinse it with water and you got a clean part
I watch a machinist Abom79 on UA-cam and he has heard this argument about lifting the file on the backstroke. He has files that he has used all his life without lifting on the backstroke and they are as good as they were on the day he bought them. I also have files that I use and they are as good as the day they were bought or received and I don't lift on the backstroke either, but I don't use mine that often. So the argument goes on, lift or don't lift?
I have files that got ruined by not lifting on the back stroke, cheap ones get ruined in like 5 strokes backward and more expensive ones (bahco) can take like 20 and then they are not better than a pocketknife nail file...
@@Seabee_133 Think of saving energy a file only ''cuts'' on the front stroke, so putting energy into going back and forth is inefficient, and yes it does blunt them overtime but it has a lot to do with what you're filing, you'll blunt a file pretty quickly rage filing back and forth on titanium, but not so much on aluminium.
Now this is constructive feed back. Not like some dickheads here that just Critisize because they cannot do themselves. I am going to steal these tips for my personal use. Ty.
I really digged this restoration...
Another great job...
J'aurai préféré que tu la remettes dans une config militaire mais elle est sympa aussi comme ça, bon boulot !
That’s a nice looking shovel.
Have you ever considered torching the wood? I like how it brings out the grain of the wood. Great job.
I do the same process and I was thinking that when he was prepping the wooden handle.
Torched wood can be a gorgeous finish.
Awesome Restoration!! 👍🏻
Your derusting in vinegar would be much more efficient if you attack the rust with a wire brush (angle grinder!) first. The less rust the vinegar has to eat away the better it can do it.
Heating up the clamping nut may have saved you from buying a new one.
I´m totally ok with the bare finish - let´s call it the "commercial model"
Nicely done it looks better then when new
The sound he created when he was scraping the rust off with steel brush made my teeth ache
I thoroughly enjoy watching all of your videos!
Nothing says tactical like shiny steel!
🤔
Un restauro perfetto!!! Complimenti!
Omg some comments are ridiculous! Everyone thinks they're an expert! If you are unhappy with how this man restores (repairs who cares - oh that rhymed!) then don't watch the video! Personally how it was to how he (let's use the word "resurrected") is great talent. It's not easy to do this kind of thing. What is easy to do is clicking off a video if you don't like it lol
People are just as entitled to leave their opinions as you are. I'm not condoning outright insulting the guy but no one seems to be doing that.
"If you are unhappy with how people leave comments, then dont read them."
@@kilikus822 never said they couldn't leave their opinion. But thanks oprah
@@ritadepeeves I know what you said and I can only assume what you were implying. Barring my assumption do you just complain to hear yourself talk?
@@kilikus822 let's just say ur right. There u go all better!
@@ritadepeeves gets rude because gets called out for his opion, while bashing people for their opinion, nice very nice. you should buy a dictionary and read the term irony.
I'm glad to see another project that others may have sent to a metal recycling center restored. Perhaps not to original condition as others have pointed out but it's still in mint condition. I've actually seen these shovels painted tan for use in the desert.
But but but it's not greeeeen.
Doesn't matter what the color is its restored to its glory as a working E-Tool
thank you so much 😊
Amazing job, I'm currently starting to restore antique stuff to, very fun
Have you ever tried using heat to remove jammed and rusted parts? I've seen it done online and it seemes legitimate but I'm not actually sure how real the results are. It could save you a lot of effort and broken parts.
i believe that only works with ferrous metals like iron/steel
@@imperialpresence3331 doesn't it work on copper as well?
@@otterino1419 i think it might have something to do with low melting points and the brittleness of a metal......i know zinc is used for a lot of castings because it has a very low melting point compared to steel.....and zinc doesn't glow or give any indication of it's temperature...it goes from solid to molten quick, like lead
A very good restoration job.
I like the stained wooden handle, but I would have painted the metal back as the original OD green
I think it looks beautiful!
TECHNICALLY, it's not a shovel. It's an "Entrenching Tool." 😂
Basic equipment issued to US Army Infantry soldiers.
Shovel
Beautiful Work. You are a top professional!
"J'ai essayé de retirer doucement"
"y va avec les pieds, mains, marteau"
Tant pis pour la pièce, mais beau travail!
La pelle U.S., accroché à mon ceinturon pendant mes années militaires, sans la peinture vert olive, ça fait un bon souvenir, bon boulot
Sia chiaro, tu sei bravissimo a restaurare, ma ogni volta che cedo un restauro del genere su un oggetto della guerra mi sento male.... Perché non è ne conservativo ne fedele all'originale!
That rusty wrench you have been hammering the rivets in looks like a good new project idea...
My late Dad served in WWII, and apparently got to keep one of these when he was discharged ... I often played with it as a kid, not knowing what it was (a folding entrenching tool). I used to bring it to the beach and dig sand forts while people swam or sunbathed.
Here it is decades later, and in hindsight I can only imagine what my Dad was thinking, seeing his son play in peacetime with a piece of his gear from the great war. Swords to plowshares.
I have no idea what became of it ... lost to time. I miss it, but I miss my Dad a lot more. Time makes orphans of us all, eventually. 😔
BTW, leaving the blade shiny and the handle bare wood, are both NOT AUTHENTIC.
No one asked!
@@bigbearfuzzums7027 Oh look, yet another rude boring troll (classic hallmarks: bad manners, fake name, zero subs, zero content) who takes their own shortcommings out on strangers. Let me guess ... you're pissed because I had a great Father, whereas yours was an abusive deadbeat who skipped town when you were seven. Not my problem, bud.
Say hello to permanent auto-mute.
Looks better than original! That style used to get painted od green and the more collapsible ones where painted black. We'd have to use clp and scotch bright to clean any rust and repaint them for inspection. Looks cooler all natural!
...Officially titled "Entrenching Tool"
Thank you for sharing...
Just when you think this is going to be be boring, he speeds it up. Well edited 👍🏼
I think the word "repair" would be a better term than "restoration." A restoration brings an item back to it's original state, including matching paint colors. The shovel clearly showed evidence that it was originally painted a green color, which would help camouflage its use from the enemy. The finished shovel is bare metal that's polished to shine then protected, not painted green to match it's original state. That's a repair, not a proper restoration.
i didn’t want to make green paint because i don’t have such a good paint to resist scratches and dirt
@@TysyTube Which is fine. The results looked great. It's just that using the wrong word to describe what's being done sets up false expectations for the end result.
Granted, these probably aren't dime a dozen, so a complete restoration would/could be favorable. He's still restored it to a usable condition. Sure it's not museum quality, but his reworking of it has definitely prolonged the life of the tool.
thank you so much 😊
@@chrisadams628 Again, I don't have an issue with the outcome, just on how it was described. The wrong expectation was set for the intended outcome. Looking further into the comment section, you can see others who were expecting a proper restoration. By using more accurate descriptions in the video tiles, TysyTube would set the correct expectation for those people. This would probably increase their enjoyment of the video and limit the some of negative feedback. Again, if a repair is intended instead of a full restoration, it should just say it's a repair.
Looks like a brand new ready to use shovel to me. Ready to go back into combat
You might've had it easier with the disassembling when putting the shovel in vinegar in the first place........sometimes that loosen the screws!
But i still love the end result!!
this channel is so interesting. That handle came up beautifully.
Successfully restored to perfect working order. The color and finish you gave it is perfect, as it is *your* shovel. I happen to agree that it looks great. If it were mine, I would have heated the spade bit with a torch and quenched it in oil for a matte black look that also prevents rust. Great job!
Very nice job you made it look brand new as if you bought it straight from the factory in that area
