Sure took a lot of hammers to fix that hammer

FYI that style of knife is called a Sabatier, and yes, it is French. That exact style has largely fallen out of favor, and the French no longer have much of a knife industry. But it still works!

DAD!?

Your blade, sir. It will KEEL. Good job! Thank you for sharing, it's a nice restoration

nice job. great video.

what's the black paint for

Nice bench. Simple and functional. the only thing I would do is put some polyurethane or oil on it to help protect it from weather.

Beautiful restoration, makes a newbie like me feel more confident to try my luck

I dont use lacquer i use used motor oil. It needs more applications but it penitrates the wood giving it added rot resistance and gives a better look imo

I just bought 6 vintage Henckels knives and came here looking for restoration advice. Nice work.

Oh. Look. William Afton's knife.

This made me very happy to see. I love your passion and satisfaction in your work and your countenance!

This is so genius! My husband and I made a 4 x 8 table with wire on the top so we can pull our seedlings in and out of the garage. The problem is the wheels. We used tires that do not pivot, sort of like the tires on the back of a Gorilla cart, that are stationary. When trying to make turns, it's impossible! Do you have any suggestions for retro-fitting your wheels to a table like ours? Our table is the typical nursery style table that you see. It's very heavy. It would have worked perfectly, but we have to turn corners with it to get it under the shade of our tree in the back yard. Any advice is appreciated.

Top job ⛩️ - this Piece would also Make an excellent Wedding Cake Cutta''. To this End ...engraving the Knife either with Date of Restoration or Own Signature with Some scroll Embellishments would Go Down Well !⚜️👍

Finally, I can watch axe repairs without listening to an annoying irishman that thinks he's the shit cause he has an accent. Great work here. I appreciate your content.

Wonder if you can put inflated tires on it (like on those gorilla carts) so one can bring onto lawn...back and forth?

That looks like a vintage Dexter model no. 48010 or 48012.

It wont last long. Soak the wood where the head will attach in a glass cup filled with boiled linseed oil for a few days and use metal o rings instead of wooden splice.

Please tell me you're not going to drive NAILS with that beautiful thing! (I can only think about the dents I could put in wood with an 18" handle!)

very nice and easy to listen to thanks

Nice work. not too much deformation, keep the main platform and blade characteristic.

You know if you want to be like everyone else you cant shellac it. You must use boiled linseed oil, everyday for a week, than once a week for 3 months, once a month for 3 years. Than after all that the dang handle breaks anyway and you just rinse and repeat. Hmmm.... Maybe I'll just shellac it and try to get some actual work done, lol.

you are a freaking lifesaver. I had given up trying to conceal the hinge and now I get it! Thank you

That appears to be mahogany

The wood used for the handle looked like mahogany to me.

Does anyone know what the shape of blade in the video is called? Can't find any online/locally with the same triangular shape 😢

Nice job.

Hi, do you know what size are the snaps you have used in milimeters?

Love it

I got a big jug of evaporust after seeing some people say good things about it. They say you can store it and reuse the evaporust. Would you put it back into the same jug or a different container?

Whyd you saw it off lol. At least break it.

Found it. Your ahort was great but i found the hole video!

Странный "мастер" сперва насадил рукоять а потом перешёл к черновой работе. Как сказал бы один мой знакомый, особенно удался арбуз!

Knife turned out hella dope, @foundit6088!

what makes that hammer good?

Nice job.

Awesome and similar to how I do it- I’m not claiming to do it better but I find using wood oil instead of glue is far better to mitigate cracks. The suction the oil creates rather than the overpressure from wood glue is better for long term. Either way awesome vid, not a criticism :)

I enjoyed this video very much. Not just for the restoration job you did, but for your mannerisms, and the way the video was filmed and edited. Excellent job.

REAL slick

Clever.

Your video is what KZfaq is supposed to be. It informs, entertains and it kept me engaged for the entire duration of the video. Thanks for producing a factual and useful self-help guide on how you repaired your jacket with snap fasteners.

Nice work.

I worked union construction from 1988 til 2013 before I knew these existed. This basic hammer is around $100 but the good ones are $300. Union guys have an Estwing hammer that costs $20. The non-union rats have $300 hammers. I thought we were the ones making all the money before I got stuck at one of these companies. They went union the year I started but some of the guys quit because they couldn't live on $40/hr. I suppose you can't if you are paying a couple hundred dollars for a hammer that looks like it was made in the 1940s.

Kinda rudiculous that they’d ship the handle with urethane

school work thank you

I love thrifting and make a bee line to the kitchen utensils. I can absolutely appreciate the older pieces. You just don't find them except for thrift stores or garage sales. You did a beautiful job on that project!

Sweet 👍🏻 👍🏻

great job, was entertaining to watch!

That was an awesome job. I have a 55 year old Vaughan that I’ll be cleaning up, this video was very helpful. I got my handle directly from Vaughan, it’s sized for this specific head. Hopefully it will go smoothly.
