One thing you quickly learn when you buy and tune hundreds of 19th century chisels, is that most have at sometime been cooked, or overheated by someone on a fast grinder.😭😭😭♥️♥️♥️

For all remarking on the quality of this restoration, it does seem to me that this guy's got a lot less to work with than some of these restoration youtubers with tens of thousands of dollars in equipment geared specifically toward what they're doing. What really matters here is that @Flying W Forge took a project he did and felt good enough about it to show everybody, despite his means and despite not being 100% perfect in doing it. I still say good job to him

Old tools are vastly superior to new tools yet can be picked up for next to nothing on many occasions. With a make-over like this they'll last another a lifetime for the next owner too.

Stunning work! I look forward to seeing many more of your videos.

Do not wear gloves while operating a lathe folks... It could mean the difference between a busted knuckle and a hand twisted off.

I have a set of chisels the same make,bought when I started my apprenticeship 50 years ago.Swedish made,excelent steel.

good job.👍👍👍👍

love it!!!!!! So relaxing to watch...... love the result!!!

this was a dream to watch and so relaxing. What a fabulous job. Thank you for sharing your time, energy and experience. I'm about to restore some battered old chisels but I am without a lathe and so will have to be inventive with my carving tools and wet stones

Very nice restoration. That burning of the wooden handle has become very beautiful. I will try this myself soon. Subscribed and hope to see more of your work.

Nicer than new! Great job 👍

Very fine job. 😍

Excellent work.... you’ve got yourself a new subscriber 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Great job!

Lovely job found the music relaxing as well look forward to seeing some more 👌

Beautiful work

Try using orange norton blaze belts they work really well they dont seem to heat the metal up during reshaping of the bevel end of a chisel. I ground one to a fine edge using a 60 grit belt and it did not turn the fine edge blue and wreck the temper. They cut really well and seem to hold up for quite awhile

Nice work mate

Beautiful I love the handle .

Well done bro... I like your work

Enjoyed the video - especially since you work with commonly available tools. What model lathe is that? I have a 8x4 space for my work area in the garage and struggling to find a small but capable lathe. Thanks

I think this video IS a "how to"... An excellent job in there¡ Bravo¡¡

Nicely done m8

Looks absolutely great, Nice work

Nice work

Beautifull restoration I loved

Darkening the blade and handle was a good idea. It gave a great finishing touch. Now it looks like it should: an old chisel in excellent condition.

Well done!

That poor old chisel sure knew the meaning of "Give it a bit of OOOMMF, lad".

All blade bevels ruined.

What are the last steps you do, after burning the tang into the handle? Some kind of coating on the steel?

It would be a lovely job IF it had been sharp!

great video - what did you polish the blade with from the bottle?

can you tell me what for a lathe do you have? looks cute and good enough for me ;) thx

Nicely done. Nothing better than old tools, the quality is far better than what is mass produced today. Thanks for sharing your video.

my friend , you have a very rare chisel there. it says Germany, Britzone, so was most probably made between 1945 and 1951, approximately. nice job too

What is the name of the song and the person's name who wrote this song you are using to accompany your video?

What kind of lathe is it?

Very nice

What kind of wood you made the handle ?

Gostei da restauração do fortão.

It's very useful, let's do a good job, see you again

The tip of the chisel had blue and yellow and brown oxide discoloration indicating it had been overheated. This chisel probably needs to be heat treated and tempered again for it to maintain an edge.

0:50 is that a Yamaha on the background?

What chuck is that?

nice restoration, also love the music, anyone knows the name of this music

Flying w forge where did you get that lathe the green one

Why in GOD's name would you sand off the forge mark.

With the stamp gone the owner would have been justified to say that it was replaced with a generic off the shelf chisel.

Why not add a wafer of leather to the end of handle and save the brass?

Torch brand?

What is the music and who makes it?

The handle shape and blue logo leads me to believe that you have an E.A. Berg, but the blade markings are of German British Zone, which would date it to Germany during the allied occupation. Very interesting piece.

You should do your vise next.

Dude, you payed for the whole saw. Why are you using only third of it?

I wonder if he's ever thought about restoring his vise?

Who cares about the manufactures stamp? The tool was trash and now it is usable! Nice work restoring with minimal tools...

You can do whatever you want to your tools, but it's clear that, as you say, you're not a woodworker. Which is fine. If you DO want to become a woodworker, buy a quality chisel (preferably from somewhere other than where you got that horrible Craftsman saw). Then compare it to what you did to the bevel on this chisel (on some hardwood. Not construction-grade pine.) You will quickly come to understand why so many comments are negative here. If you just did what you did to this poor chisel to hang on the wall for decoration, I say bravo. The silver lining is that the chisel was drop-forged in British occupied Germany shortly after WWII, so the steel quality is likely very poor, meaning no valuable tools were harmed in the making of this video.

Que líquido é esse que vc passou?

OH NO!!! YOU DIDN'T SHARPEN THE BEVEL AT 24.375* WITH A 32.75* MICROBEVEL!!! YOU'VE ***RUINED*** THE TOOL FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER Yeesh, some of these comments need to *relax* ... Not the way I'd do everything either but I liked the way you finished the handle. Wrapping a file in sandpaper's a good trick, too. Thanks for that.

Nice, next time leave the chisel proud of the brass so you're not banging your mallet against metal. You want a bit of mushrooming of the wood

Great skills, a craftsman with Craftsman tools. I would like to know what the liquid is that he used to finish the blade 15:08.

Is that a chisel in your pocket or are you just glad to see me ..

Manufacturer's stamp destroyed

Nice exercise on how to do a KZfaq Vid. Music was excellent and calming cutting and editing great, Comments from chisel specialists valid about blade steel overheating, would be good follow up to anneal, harden and temper the blade steel. Cherry red cool in sand to cool down slowly, cherry red quench in water/oil. Gently. straw colour and quench in water/oil, cleaning thoroughly between each process. Then sharpen on stone would be good research a good vid and the chisel experts would be happy. I am only quoting stuff I learned in school many many years ago in the metal shop. Experts please advise more.

Sure are a ton of restoration experts in these comments.

Expetacle

sharpening with sanding belt?

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Next job: sort out your vice, and mount it properly. When the tang cooled, it went loose in the handle, didn't it. That's certainly not the orthodox way of fitting a handle, and there are good reasons orthodoxies develop. What angle did you use for the primary and secondary bevels? You don't know, because this is a "bling for KZfaq" video rather than the proper restoration of a chisel. Give it to a woodworker and they'll put your work right. Finally, if you put a ferrule at the top of a handle, you put it slightly down from the end, or you cap the end with leather. The arrangement you came up with will ruin both the ferrule and the mallet used to hit it, as well as making hand work such as paring impossible from day one. Those people saying "nice work" have no idea how a chisel works, obviously, because you have just created an unusable one.

Bạn làm tốt lắm

На мой взгляд, пятку нужно было делать стальную.

How have you only got 1k views? This is literally the best restoration I’ve seen!

What in the hell is that hand saw !!!!!

With all due respect do a vlog on restoring your vice.

Nice job. Subbed. Looking forward to your next video. More videos like this and I reckon your channel will do very well ;-)

i need a lathe

I have a butter knife that can do the same cuts at the end

At least it is pretty!

made ferrule to loose so it cracked the handle, polished it within an inch of it's life , an whats wrong with using oil stones to sharpen it you made a PIGS EAR of it , what else you going to fuck up?

Very beautiful end result and very entertaining video. The music was awful, though. ;-)

People: stop burning a perfectly good piece of wood. You spend time cutting and shaping a nice chunk of beauty and then destroy it. Do you buy a gorgeous piece of walnut and stain it with black dye? Whoever started this trend needs to be sacked.

I consider buying a new one would be easy

Its a nooitgedagt. A dutch chizle

Yeah, all nice and shiny, but you ruined it's authenticity by grinding off the factory stamping.

This applies to most of the restorations I see on KZfaq - why in the name of God do you round all corners? Do not use sandpaper and leave all edges sharp - please. Most videos about restorations I see here, destroy more than they restore - sorry.

Too much time fooling with handle, Needs more time learning how to sharpen a chisel, when he put the edge against that sanding belt my hair stood up.

I feel like I need a cigarette after watching tool porn. Wow

No thanks

Be

Restoration and Rejuvenation are two different things. To Restore something, is to return it to it's original state. This is not what you did, which is why so many comments are negative. You Rejuvenated this Chisel. You didn't Restore it. Learn the difference if you want a more positive reaction to your videos.

I usually don't comment, but you over-burn it............

the last shot ruined the whole video

Check out the ‘experts’ in this comment section!

All that work, just to prove that you don't know how to use a chisel.

hopelessly wrong and useless on so many levels

NO talking 😩🙄😩

I did it myself with the Woodglut plans. I think this is the best way to find out how to build it.

Awesome job!
