Making a dovetail tomahawk from scrap. Inspired by rare examples of steel and brass pipe tomahawk, exchanged as diplomatic gifts between Europeans and Native Americans.
I dont pretend this to be functional. Its made for the challenge of making it and as art piece more than an actual work hatchet. It can still chop stuff and seems to hold up well, but of course it has nothing to do with a proper one made entirely of steel.

Ill do my best to answer questions in comments and Ill add the most frequent one here:

0:00 Steel Edge
3:27 Pattern
5:30 Brass Cast
7:47 Head
10:37 Handle
13:09 Test

In this video im restoring an antique Stanley hand plane.

My friend has found this very old Stanley hand plane at the steel waste. When I saw it the first time at his place I wanted to restore it immediately, so I bought it for $10. This Stanley no. 122 hand plane was manufactured from 1877 until 1918, its at least 101 years old. This plane is from the „liberty bell“ series, they were first produced in 1876 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776). Thats the reason why the liberty bell is imprinted on the lever cap.
As Im not a woodworker at all and Ive never used a hand plane before in my life, I had to do a lot of research how this thing even works to understand the function of each part. It turned out that the iron and the backing iron were assembled wrongly and there was also one part missing, which holds both of these parts together. As the iron was an original Stanley part, it wasnt the correct one for this plane. The bigger hole in the slot was on the wrong end, thats why I made a new one.
I tried to keep as many parts as possible original on this restoration. I only replaced two small screws, made the missing part and a new iron.

I hope you like my work and the video.

I purchased this 1930s Marx Battery Operated ElectroMagnetic Crane Truck on eBay October of 2020. It was in dire need of a restoration and missing numerous parts. During disassembly I snapped off a tab on the boom, a tab on the boom mount, found the tab for the battery holder snapped off. The truck was missing the battery switch completely, as well as the electro-magnet. One of the wheels was damaged and had to be repaired, I ended up remaking quite a few parts for this restoration. By far this is my longest video I have produced to date, however I believe that it is well worth it. I love the final results.

About 6 months ago I got a call from someone who wanted me to restore something for them. Obviously I couldnt say no to a piece like this, but it was pretty daunting. It took me months to finish restoring this slot machine, but its finally done and edited.

Anyway, I learned a lot restoring this old slot machine and Im really happy I took this challenging project on. There will be a part 2 coming up pretty soon here that focuses solely on the restoration of the mechanism inside. It turned out to be way too much to cram into one video. I have almost 1tb of footage stored on my server for this project alone…

After I finish editing/uploading that video I will go back to making videos on my Jeep.

I bought this retro Formula racing game for restoration. Its called Grand Prix and it was made by CGL. The LCD screen badly damaged and one of the levers has been broken.

I noticed the color of the console is a bit different from the usual yellowing in the items I restore. It looks almost like there is a green tint to it so I was expecting it to stay the same color in the hydrogen peroxide bath. The process is called retrobright and it removes the yellowing and when done correctly it wont change the original color. If the original color under the yellowing has faded it will stay faded. So it should not affect the pigment in the plastic but only bromide, the substance that causes the plastic to yellow.

I had to look for the spare screen for a long time because that type of damage is unrepairable and they dont make new screen anymore. Luckily I found somebody who had a broken device with functional screen and they were willing to sell it for me. Since he also had the switches I also bought those from him even though I think I could have fixed the broken parts as well.

After changing the screen and one of the switches I had to replace the battery contacts. The original ones were in very bad condition and some of them were broken. I took 0.2 mm thick sheet of brass and pressed the dimples to the metal with a special tool that I designed just for the purpose. The brass is so thin I could cut it with scissors. I was very similar to cut as as thick crafting paper, so I still could get the wanted shapes easily. The brass was nickel plated to protect if from oxidation in the future. The original contacts were plated as well but some acidic solution had leaked from the batteries, which had dissolved the nickel. My nickel plating tutorial: www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3DCexCLoGQ

Эта реставрация находится на почтовом автомате Chauncey Wings Sons до 1920-х годов. Этот инструмент — одно из самых сложных и сложных устройств, которое я когда-либо видел для дозирования ленты. Современные затраты на копирование чего-то подобного были бы астрономически дорогими. Вы можете увидеть оригинальный патент 1894 года здесь: patents.google.com/patent/US519185

Зритель прислал мне этот конкретный инструмент несколько месяцев назад, чтобы дополнить тот, который я обнаружил, в котором отсутствует слишком много частей, чтобы работать. Из этих двух я мог скомпилировать один полностью функциональный инструмент.

Я обработал пескоструйным аппаратом почти все детали и закрутил их очень мягким латунным кругом, чтобы не поцарапать латунные детали. Ручки, казалось, были сделаны из вишни, сильно покрытой лаком. Я удалил старый пожелтевший лак и нанес толстый слой шеллака на вишневое дерево. Пришлось переделать деревянный валик, который сидел в держателе клея, так как он отсутствовал.

Первоначальный держатель клея был отремонтирован и заполнен водой, чтобы я мог использовать ленту, активируемую водой, которая у меня была.

После реставрации и заточки резцов диспенсер для ленты работал очень хорошо и был на удивление простым в использовании. Может быть, я буду использовать его время от времени, чтобы склеить специальные пакеты, которые я отправляю.

Я хотел бы поблагодарить Evapo-Rust за спонсорство этого видео.

I had this idea since I recently discovered how to easily make balls on the milling machine and lathe. As I currently dont know what to restore next, I decided to make the 8 ball. It was a very cool little project. Very accurate work was needed to get all six individual pieces fit together with no gaps. The hardest part of this project was filming the last few shots, because it is so super shiny now and reflects everything. I really like how it turned out and it will be a nice decoration piece to look at.

I hope you like my work and the video.

It was around three months ago when I visited my friend that works at the steel waste. He made an amazing found. He found multible items that were in a very rough condition. They almost had some kind of concrete on them and a lot of heavy rust. This little screwdriver got my attention right away. It was not clearly visible what the function of it was, but I remember that I thought it might be some kind of ratchet mechanism. At home I posted a few pics of it in my Instagram story. It didnt took long for @hand tool rescue to reply, as he has the same screwdriver, just a slightly modern version of it, but similar mechanism. After some research I found some more pics and videos online. The brand is „Weltrekord“ made in Germany and its called „Hebelschraubenzieher“ which meas „lever scredriver“. The model I found was the first ever designed one from 1891. Weltrekord later made some small changes on the design. Newer ones have a small collet to clamp the insert bits and even newer ones came with plastic handles instead of wood.
At first I thought this will be a quick straight forward restoration project. It turned out to be a very tricky one. The most difficult part was definitely the disassembly, it took me three full days to get it in pieces. Heavy rust has done so much damage to all of the parts. Unfortunately the handle cracked when I removed it. I tried to restore it, but it became a huge mess and I decided to make a new one to have a nice and clean look. Theres a 40 minutes version of this video on my Patreon page where I show how I tried to repair the handle. I had to weld up material on a lot of parts and machined and sanded it clean afterwards. That all worked perfectly fine. Some parts have still very slight pitting but overall it turned out very well. For the finish on the steel parts I decided to try nickel plating for the first time and it worked fantastic. I went with a brushed finish and with the nickel coat the parts turned out amazing. I really like the look of the nickel plated parts with the wooden handle.

I hope you like my work and the video.
