Hi and welcome to my channel. This is my very first restoration. Hope you like it. The chisel, I got from my grandpa, he is and old mechanic, that also is into woodworking. He taught me how to use tool and how to take care of them. When I got a bit older he gave me a bunch of tools. Many of the are quality tool, but the years has taken a toll on them. I am now on a mission to restore them. This is the result of it.
The chisel was in very bad shape. But the steel is of good quality and was definitely worth restoring. The brand is E.A.Berg Eskilstuna from Sweden. It’s hard to tell how old it is. But probably before the 1950’s. This makes the chisel over 70 years old. The brand was later brought by Bahco.
The handle was a bit beaten up, so I decided to make a new one. I really like ebonising and the black look. This is what I went for. Ebonising solution is basically just steel wool in vinegar. You can use all kinds of vinegar, but the steel wool should be as fine as possible. My solution here had been sitting for 16h. The longer you let it sit the blacker the result is.
It was my first time turning in brass. I quickly realised that I need new tools for the lathe. But they are now ordered and on the way.
If you have any questions, just fire a way and I will do my best to answer.
Thanks for reading this and thanks for watching.
