The lack of power tools made this vid so much more satisfying to watch.

For some reason, watching restorations without machines & only by hand is so satisfying.

For some reason, I just love machetes. They are like modern swords mixed with knives

In sixty five years I have never seen a machete as nice as that one! Wow and of course the handle!!

I, too, would love to see a side-by-side at the end! It would make the finished product that much more impressive! Also, when I played this video for my husband, I had to go back to 2:56 to show off that mirrored finish. Amazing results. Keep up the good work and I can't wait to see your workshop back up and running!

Love your videos! I really like that you don’t feel the need to add cheesy music and let us enjoy the work sounds. Very nice. I think that you should add a side-by-side or fade at the end though, showing a before and after. Would make it all that much more impressive. Keep up the good work!

That has to be the best DIY RESTORATION by hand I have seen on here so far. Bravo sir. A machete Jason Voorhees would be proud of!!!!

Finally a video that says "no powertools", and there actually are none! Very nice work and great craftsmanship.

My father used to restore things when I was young, it brings back good memories.

Working manually in that wood looked tedious but so satisfying

For some reason it’s so satisfying to watch the stuff repaired

WOW! What a fantastic example of fine work/craftsmanship! Very well done! And the 3 apples at the end... unbelievable!

Jason would appreciate this beautiful work

can you restore my life?

Wow, shaping the handle before cutting a slot right in the middle was absolutely an act of bravery! Great result, and I love the "no power-tools" aproach!

I got a machete, almost identical to this one that needs restoration . I’m so glad I found this video because now I think I know how to do it! I hope it comes out as nice as yours did! Thanks again.

wow, i love how its done by hand, really satisfying

so satisfying to see an old rusty blade shining again,good job:-)

Ningún súper héroe mire que moviera las manos como tu jajaja. Ni de nuevo se veía así de chingon ay esta tu like amigo

If I hadn’t seen you do it, I would have just thought you bought a new one. Well done🙌🏻🙌🏻

It's incredible. Thanks

Magnífica restauración, te felicito viejo !! 👍👏👏👏

That looks good enough to B used in ALL the Friday the 13th films!

Wow. This guy’s pretty damn good. I just bought an old Collins Legitimus 1941. It needs some work. The sheath is in amazing condition, but the blade has some pitting. It’s like someone bathed the sheath in raw linseed oil for 80 years.

Boi it’s crazy how you did this all by hand good job 👍

Nice restoration, though I think maybe a hacksaw, the type with the .25 inch blade, would've helped make the making of the handle easier since you can manupulate the blade easy to cut curves with them.

Jason will be proud of you

I love restorations by hand. They’re better than ones with power tools tbh

I hope your shop comes together well, you are my favorite tool restoration channel!

Beautiful

Beautiful work! Plus it's very relaxing to watch this.

Nice to see a job done with basic hand tools. We don't all have access to band saws & power tools. Nice job

Mr.Vorhees would be proud 😢👏🏾

Fantastic! All that hard work condensed into 9 minutes. Now I know what to do. Thanks mate!

Awesome I found an old one from Thailand, that gives me some ideas thanks

I would never use it again. Perhabs as a mirror. Such an awesome job! It's satisfaying to watch!

I'm surprised the wooden handle did not catch fire 😆 great job! one question what can be applied to a high carbon blade to prevent future rusting?

Unintended ASMR at its best.

From México... Congratulations!!! excellent restoration without machines!!! Only with yours hands!!! 👏👏👏👏

I am addicted to watching these kind of videos... there so satisfying

Nice job. I like the sawdust in the epoxy thing. Never seen that before.

Now with this machete I could Indiana Jones my way to the backyard tool shed...and bring back a bottle of champagne to sabre it with.

A wonderful peace of art!! thank you for this great job, RESPECT!

So refreshing to see this all done the proper way you did a fantastic job on the blade best part you did not attack it wuth the dreaded angle grinder and butcher it or flap disk a great job love how you used the draw file to remove excess epoxy really nice touch well done looks great..

why I am watching this at 3 am😐

Nice!!!! This is what i like to See, good old Hand work :)

Absolutely amazing refurbishing efforts. Thumbs Up!

Your videos are always awesome, looking forward to more restorations

awesome !!

Omg the apple slice at the end cracked me up cause im plaing the video at 1.25 speed so they just sliced themselves

A machete worthy of a samurai. This video was very satisfying.

That's one beautiful looking machete right there

awesome! I have a pair from my grandpa, I want to restore and use them but they are still sentimental. They have plastic handles are probably from the 80s. How do you sharpen them? Should I change handles? what kind if i do? what products and order of grit sandpaper did you use? what did you use to polish? type of adhesiveness did you use? If i use a wood handle what kind do you recommend? Sorry for all the questions. But thank you

Lord I love power tools

Awesome. Really love your videos. I'll look forward to the next one!

Wow this channel is amazing. Soooo satisfying. This guy is talented!

A ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++, very nice work . Mike Espo..

I don't why, but I really like your videos

Wow that's quite a hand workout. Very nice job!👍

nice work, man. nice to watch somebody uses hand tools instead of power tools

Wow man how’d you get so big in only two months?!

At 2x speed he becomes *The Flash* ⚡

I'm glad you gave the handle some character. The generic ones take plain to the extreme. Looks awesome. I did one similar a few years ago, it's already started to go rusty again unfortunately. It wasn't as shiny or nice as yours.

thanks for doing it without power tools, it makes it more fun and also if you want to try it at home then its easier

8:40 My dude rocking a pair of crocs

Jason Vorhees would be proud!

This was masterclass work without power tools.

An coming from a guy from the Caribbean I've been a round a lot of machetes an cutlases I really like what you did to it, regardless of my first comment.

Ur polish ???

Este muchacho me llena de orgullo -un chapeador

Your videos are so relaxing to watch!

this is the fastest working man on the planet

Off topic, but is English your first language?

Can you fix a rusty hoarse shoe?

Now THAT....was impressive!!

All I see is .. both your hands are like magician's hand !! I was amazed

Jason Vorhees sends his thanks,

I wish I was that machete...

I have enjoyed all of your videos so far and I look forward to more!

Awsome video great job.. Loved that mirror polished finish

What is he melting in 8:03??

*Watches at 2x speed*

Great Job! Love the handle and the high speed video.

Great Job! I'm also a huge fan of that Klingspor sandpaper. SUBSCRIBED!

No power tools ey? How did u screw that vise in????

What happened with the electric tools , everything are made with hands today

that is an outstanding job! great skill, patience and craftsmanship

When ever im bored i love watching these videos

At 2:28 ???

Very good video. I want this guy working for me. At that speed he could do 3 days work in 8 hours. Employee of the month. Thumbs up. Thanks

Thats the best restoration ive seen in a long time

I literally salivated when that blade came up shiny 🙈😂

An amazing piece, job well done

this could be an epic montage in the next Machete movie
