Hello and welcome back to my channel. In this restoration video I will restore two pairs of 100 year old tailor scissors.
I do the restoration on special request of my girlfriends dad. After he saw my first restoration video he gave them to me and asked me if I could save them.
He got them from his grandfather who was a tailor all his life in the pre 50s time.
These scissors are the only inheritance that remind him of his grandfather.
This project was a lot of fun and I enjoyed working on it. Subscribe and share, if you like the video.

Another beautiful restoration. I particularly like the fact that you honor the history and heritage of the items you restore. As to adding music or narration, I vote no. The videos are excellent as they are. Your onscreen narration is excellent. Your editing and visual pacing are improving with each video. The beer tasting and rating are bonuses. Thanks for sharing your talents with the rest of the world.

Great restoration. Paul Sellers has an informative video on sharpening scissors. His mother was a seamstress. Few craftsmen have his skills in sharpening. And very few can do restoration work on your level. It has been fun to watch the growth of your channel. The beer tasting is an added bonus. Well done!

To be honest The cutting didn't look so good. I would have changed to a 35 degree angle. Scissors seem to have their own mind when it comes to cutting. When you find the angle they love they cut fabric like a hot knife going through butter. I absolutely love this video. I'm restoring an old pair of Wiss scissors as I'm watching. I've been sharping and repairing scissors for 41 years and I still learn something new just about every day. Thank you for the beautiful video I'm sure her father will be very proud when he sees them.

I love your videos (the whole family!) so please take this the way it’s intended. If it were any old pair of scissors, I would have done what you did. But for something that has so much sentimental family value because of its history and its age, I really would have liked to see you preserve that. The pitting and the notches are part of its story. Now you can’t tell them from a new pair, and it makes me a little sad. Still, masterful work as always.

@frankierzucekjr Жыл бұрын

I really like this channel and think he does great work as well. But I agree 100%. His gf's dad's grandfather wore those notches in, after many years of working with them. I also noticed they don't shut right anymore. I think he may have mixed them up, that or he sanded them back way too much. It doesnt take much to mess up a pair of scissors ,lol I've done it. All in all they came out really nice and I'm sure the person he did this for will like them nonetheless. But yes I agree

As far as I can remember, the inside face of those Taylor's shears should be hollow ground to give clearance to the cutting edge, the few pairs have sharpened have been hollow ground to aid sharp shearing right up to the tip of the shears, it can be checked by placing the face of a engineering guage block across the inside face of the blade, 🙂
