handles look like mahogany

Something about these videos makes feel soo relaxed. Nice clear video with no unnecessary talking and good info when you use products to help restore.

What I like about this video is that not everything goes completely perfectly, but you just roll with it and still come out with a beautiful product. Well done!

I really liked how you were willing to change tools shaping the handle and admit that your first choice might not have been the best. Also an ex chef for 20+ years I’m even more pleased to see someone call a meat cleaver a meat cleaver. Personally I like some curve on my blade but not quite as much as you have here. I like to be able to nick a cutlet but also separate a loin of beef on the bone. But that’s very subjective, a brilliant restoration, very well done.

Yep...I was right, beautiful workmanship as usual. But why you would use a hacksaw to cut wood when it seems like you have every tool/piece of equipment known to man and know it's wrong is actually very funny and definitely adds to the video. But I guess you had your reason.

Looking on Craigslist earlier today I see a vintage cleaver I think I might want to purchase and make my first attempt at restoring. Imagine my utter shock when I open KZfaq and see in my suggested videos a video of someone restoring THE EXACT SAME CLEAVER.

awesome... thanks for no music 👍👍👍

You're really full of tricks!

A brass cap on the handle would have finished that off a treat , lovely looking piece nice work.👍

Anyone else terrified he was going to lose a thumb while cutting the rivets?

Wood looked like Cherry or Red Oak. Came out nice, enjoyed it.

Very nice and clean job!!!

Nice work!!

The outcome is what counts... Looks great!!

Impressive

Super jest to odrestaurowane ten cały tasak pozdrawiam serdecznie 👍👍👍👍

“Hacksaw is not ideal for cuting wood“ Literally 3 seconds late he is using a band saw

That's a good solid old cleaver. Glad to see it going back into service again. Your knife making skills will improve with practice and watching the experts. It'll do the job, that's the main thing.

Actually the best Restoration Channel

Very nice...

Please use protection gloves, security first, btw excellent work, amigo!

great work👍

Turned out great! Top craftsmanship again!!

Never fail beautiful craftsmanship!👍🏻❤️😊

A very good job,well done sir!👍👍

That handle is sweet. Great job.

WOW!!!! That's one beautiful restoration.....

Fantastic restoration

Good choice, well done. 👍🏻👍🏻

Well done looks great

I actually have to comment before watching because I'm thinking what is he going to do with that mess! But I'm sure it will be a beautiful piece of workmanship! Can't wait till the end!

Pretty nice! Ready to use one more!

Sweet 👍🏻 👍🏻

Like my Grandfather always said no such thing as the wrong tool if it gets the job done.

I love these.

Amazing work!!!

Btw I’m watching this because I recently came across a vintage F Dick 7x60 made in Germany. It was sold to me by an antique vender with ties to the Newton family and reportedly came right out of Joe Newton’s shed, actually sons shed, or grandsons shed because Joe has been dead a while and his son recently died so yeah got to love those grandchildren. Anyways I am going to try and restore it it doesn’t need much still has the original handle not split just a little rust. Seeing you remove rust with sandpaper well thanks for that.

Very nicely done.. those handles turned out beautiful...

Nicely done and a beautiful result.😁

Надо было востановить ручку в старом дизайне )

I'm happy that you are not one of those restorers who feel the inner urge to mirror polish every piece of metal they see.

Really nice 👍 love the handle

Finish is great!

Fantastic job it looks great 👍🏻

Beautiful video. Looking forward to new projects like this.

Gift cards are the best for mixing and spreading epoxies

Great restoration! I am going to take a wild stab at this and say that it is either maple or mahogany

Bravo pour la qualité de l'image 👍

Good job man.

Nice work as always🙂👍🏼

Very nice!

Good job!

6:32 That oil can is named Gary. 9:59 And so were those clamps! Man this guy likes naming a lot of things "Gary."

Muito bom. Brasil. 👍👍

It js my belief that while the restoration vids are quite awesome, some of these guys purposely get their stuff rusty juat to use in the vids. Ffs guys it doesnt have to be rusty in order to need a restoration

Un trabajo que me encanta.

Solid work. The camera work was clean, nicely edited, you used electrolysis (always a fan favorite), the handle turned out well. I thoroughly enjoyed the video. Side note: you're talented enough, throw in a curve ball video every once in awhile. Something that is completely unlike the others. Be bold. But keep it coming with the usual stuff. I have needs.

Nice job you got another subscriber.

uh.... duh, its tree wood!

So there’s really not going to be a paper test ok

Very good restoration bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍

Masterful.

Good

Ha, you got me to subscribe. Some of your restorations are something else, but I like where you are going. I see you are learning, along with the rest of us. For instance the handle, you took the time to grind off the brass rods and shape the wood, but ended up cutting a taper on the band saw and cut all that work off anyway. ??? Also, as an aspect to restoration is duplicating some of the methods used to make the peace in the first place, along with eliminating some of the ridiculous bits. You did good tossing the collar, but you didn't "rivet" the brass pins. The spreading out the ends before grinding them smooth will prevent them from working them selves out. Also the gap in the wood long the tang, I would thing filling with epoxy could help protect the metal underneath the wood, from rusting in the future.

Gangs of New York

Been looking for a good heavy cleaver with a large handle for a minute. They sure don't make them like they used to. Even the German ones feel like they're made for guys who wear medium sized gloves.

В идеале не хватает рисунка, травлением ! Лайк !

So I guess in the future, use the hacksaw to cut the brass rod and the bandsaw to cut the wood so the people watching can stop worrying if the next frame is fingers cut by the bandsaw, lol, still pretty entertaining video

Looks to me like red oak. You could have countersunk those rivet holes on the handle for security..Nice job overall.

Are you kidding me? That was ridiculously cool

Hickory is my guess

Have you considered using a spoke shave to save time shaping the handles on your restorations? Probably save time and sand paper.

Great work! Why no heat treatment?

Странно что имея станок он отпиливал доску ножевкой

Супер, гипс сниму, свой топорик, попробую восстановить.

It looks like maple

Are you restoring these as decorative pieces, or do you intend them to be used? Are you using food safe materials?

I have the strange feeling because of color the Handle is a cherry wood!

What did you use on sand marks on metal handle

Try flattening a tiny spoon to make a useful tool for mixing epoxy

Is the handle cedar? Also if you're local to the Philly are I'd love to film and interview you for a cool piece.

Great video :) :) :) Iron wood :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

Amazing restoration! And i think its beech wood.

7:45 u don have a wood saw or somtin?

Что помешало поставить защитный колпак обратно?

It’s either Iroko or Utile.

Wow

U funny! Lol! Using a hacksaw when you have a band saw.

Dude how can you not have a saw? I don’t have half the things you have but I have a saw, it’s one of the very basic tools along with the hammer, screwdrivers and a pencil

You know what? You did all right. Quite a few hairy moments there -thought you were gonna lose a few fingers on the bandsaw. And your choice of tools was a bit sketchy. But you did alright 👍

What voltage on the sodium bicarb bath ?

Good job, Beautiful satin finish on the blade...New scales are ok but.... Why you didn't put te bolster back?If you restoring something you need to do this like it was....And the clever had to have a square tip,the round tip that it have is from lot of years of use and abuse.... I was enjoying your video and its a good job!

Seems like your still kind of new maybe I should watch some newer videos. Maybe I have already idk but came out really nice

bro I will go to the dollar store and buy you a cheap hand saw lol

butternut white walnut ?

Did you zap the rust off the knife in the beginning??? What was the deal with all the pliers and wires and metallic pieces and sodium bicarbonate??

Why didn't you use the power saw instead of the hacksaw to cut the wood?

You forgot to put that cap at the top of the handle back on

Great restoration project! Is the wood...oak !
