I love to watch you restore items, it's very hypnotic and comforting, I know that sounds weird but I love to see old things brought back to life. The stories they could tell, and you are very hood at what you do! Thank you for caring and showing everyone that there's still life in old things!

I love the fact that you made the scissors fully functional again, while keeping most of the pitting and scars. You saved the tool's history for the next owner(s) and the next 160 years. Very well done. Thanks for sharing.

Many moons ago I served in the Royal Navy, I was also a bosuns yeoman (rigger and sail maker), those scissors look like an earlier version of RN sail makers shears for cutting canvas and leather.

@hiddentruth1982 Жыл бұрын

those would be seamstress scissors. the bend is so the bottom scissor will stay flat on the surface. In case anyone was wondering they are made so big so the seamstress would have to make fewer cuts. This made it easier to cut a straight line and less work.

@@KaiHenningsen but there is. Using scissors made for fabric on paper will dull the blade. Yes it would still cut paper but if you used it on fabric again you will find that the edges of the fabric are not as clean a cut as you want.

They look like standard fabric shears. When you're cutting down a bolt of cloth that's 5 feet wide, you want to do it quickly, but keep a straight line. Thus, very long bladed shears.

For those really rusty/dirty jobs have you ever used an electrolysis bath? I used it on a seized 50 year old engine block. Took about 48 hours just because of the size and I don’t know if the power source was strong enough but afterwards even the water jackets were spotless.

hi, these scissors had a thin springwasher in between the halfs, as you can see, the blades are curved, and this spring washer took care of the action, and actually kept the blades sharp when moving...selfsharpening..

You did amazingly well, and I’m sure that you spent an awful long time on these, well done they look amazing. As a side note, I’ve always wondered what would happen if you added some salts to the rust remover fluid and used it with electrolysis? I wonder if it’s been tried?

Прекрасная работа по восстановлению. И прекрасный мастер который когда-то сделал эти ножницы из замечательного металла. Интересно, на сколько грамм металла эти ножницы стали легче, после снятия всей ржавчины и исправления появившихся со временем недостатков на металле...?

@D-B-Cooper Жыл бұрын

Sharpening scissors is difficult, the blades are hollow ground and the angle to sharpen is almost square to the face. The blades are curved so it is only the cutting edges that touch. Once they get ground down this much you start to lose the hollow ground and they don’t stay together to the end.

Those are in the style of Tailors/Drapers Shears but give the size of the lower blade I'd say they are most likely Drapers Shears, with the exception of the minor ding in the thumb hole the shape is how it is meant to be.

It’s a shame, but no matter how well the restore is, and it’s pretty good, there’s a lot of metal lost off that. I’ve restored old pretty rusted items, and while they seem to work pretty well, and look as good as I can get them to look, I realize that they’re really not quite the same as when they were originally in use. Still, it’s the design I’m saving more than anything, and that is original.
