1930s Rusty Metal Shear - Perfect Restoration

[@TheFalcro1234]

My mouth has fallen open and I'm drooling, transfixed at the absolute mastery of the work you do. In every industry there is a benchmark. In the restoration industry you and the final products that you put out are that benchmark. Some people perform tasks and execute skills well, what you do is artistry. You are a master craftsman thank you for sharing your vision of perfection with the world. No music? you don't need, it the sounds of your work and tools are music fitting to the artistry done here, your editing is phenomenal with no fast motion photography just the steps it took to get the job done, the time spent doesn't matter it shows in the final result. I am forever grateful that I found your channel don't change anything.

[@mymechanics]

Thank you very much :-)

[@c0nstantin86]

Oh yeah... there is no music... i must have been too tensed to notice. Those ribbits screaching in tension: "will it break? Will it hold? Just a notche! A bit more. Must make sure it will never slip again" Just like nipples, so squiky clean! Nice finishing! Srry... i complicate what I have to say. Hope I didn't gave away my dirty mind xD ...

the fact that he uses this specific shear that he restored in his later videos to cut metal makes me quite happy. channels like this first got me into manual labor, and i like it a lot.

[@leviadragon99]

Part of that is due to the simplicity of the construction, fewer moving parts means fewer points of potential failure, and when you consider that it's built for a very singular purpose, that simple but effective design is easier to get away with. It also helps that it doesn't have any wood or plastics in its construction, which would degrade more readily, and was predominantly made from large, solid cast metal pieces, which by their mass alone have some resilience against meaningful degradation of function by the surface oxidising. The main points of potential failure would be the pivot point bolts, which could just as easily have been locked up by rust and rendered the whole thing inoperable if lady luck had been less kind.

[@EthanDean57]

Absolutely unreal work, and I love your style too. No music, no sped up footage, just quick cuts (even to minor things like switching off equipment). It's like the build is being told as a story. Utterly fantastic.

[@Ceetvair]

I have to agree. The format is perfect. Anything more or less would make this channel less special.

[@WilliamEllison]

Yes indeed. I love this style of video.

I think every one of your restorations are always, "better than new"! And with many of the small fine tunings and removing of casting marks and sharp edges, you always do, to me, I think most of them are much better than when they were new! And this one is a great example of that, with the sloppy handle being refitted properly, etc. What a joy these restorations are to watch!

[@chiefpepdesign]

[@lerkzor]

When this tool was originally made, the manufacturers said to themselves "ehh, it's a tool not a trophy. As long as it works, who cares what it looks like." When you got finished with this item, it was a trophy tool. Your attention to detail is mesmerizing, and I like that you do not add music to the video. Not everyone shares the same musical preferences. Over all, this was a most satisfying video. Thank you for all the labor you put into making it, and thanks you for sharing it with us. -CacheRAM

He must be blessed by the gods of manicure, however else he could have such nice hands and shapely fingernails. Somehow my mechanics manages handling pieces of dirty and rusted metal and yet retains those forever pristine paws... Teach me Master! Howwwww???

1. You’re incredibly talented 2. Your master skills are phenomenal 3. Sandblasting HAS to be therapeutic 4. The lathe draws me in 5. Thank you for your videos!

[@christianschneidewind6298]

I worked in a place where they sandblasted freakish huge gears from wind turbines. It's the worst job ever. The sand creeps in every hole of your body. Can't recommend.

[@nathannotimportant9379]

Sandblasting is definitely not therapeutic. 1. Visibility is low because you need to constantly replace plastic screens. Sometimes you can't see at all because your boss hasn't ordered the damn things and you're sandblasting on faith alone. This can turn even an easy to clean part into a very frustrating task as you're hunched over a machine for a long time. 2. Depending on how good of a machine you have it will clog semi-frequently. This goes back to the 'your boss hasn't ordered it' category; if you're too cheap to buy screens you're not gonna waste money on good, fresh, dry sandblasting medium. 3. Sandblasters kill themselves. The gun will eventually chew through itself, the hoses too. It will eventually eat itself away. This happens a lot slower depending on how expensive of a model you get. 4. Sand everywhere. Unless that's somehow your thing. 5. All these problems culminate together to a very awkward and frustrating experience where you're constantly trying to keep the machine running while cleaning parts and having nearly no visibility to see if the gun is even shooting sand at the moment or if it's clogged.

@@AureliusR you want to sandblast first, then "machine" aka "shave" the threads after. Sandblasting leaves a rough edge.....which you don't want in your threads. Kinda like a rusty knife.....you'd want to sandblast the whole blade first and get it clean, then sharpen (or machine) the blade.

Lol, why not blast first?? Oh, i forgot that sponsors....

Life not usable? - I make a new one

Mr Alef: This seems to be his life mission! Maybe that's life is all about !!!

Wenn man sieht, wie dieses gut dieses Werkzeug schon vor seiner Restauration immer noch funktioniert, kann man die gute Qualität erkennen. Einfach, aber quasi unkaputtbar. Das schätze ich an vielen alten Werkzeugen. Es macht richtig Freude, sie mit so viel Liebe und Sorgfalt restauriert zu sehen. Sie machen einen echt tollen Job! 👌🇩🇪👋🏻

[@mymechanics]

Tausend Dank

[@andrewmccarter4678]

I really enjoy how he lays all the parts out like an exploded view diagram. Very helpful when doing your own resto

[@Mekratrig]

Love the meticulous perfection you put into your work. I would be reluctant to use it now because it’s a beautiful piece of art. Exceptional job.

[@oxfordbags]

me when i get in the shower: i start to clean the parts with the parts washer

[@darthrevan2063]

🤦‍♂️

[@KixPanganiban]

underrated comment. this had me loling

Chris Lawrence BRUH😂

[@ZEUS-eg8jw]

Do you already have worn back issues by raising that "heavy duty parts washer" again and again ...?

[@LCHFKitchenSpaz]

Just freaked out my coworker by laughing at this totally unexpected and yet hilarious comment.

[@assessor6951]

A Rusty lump of metal becomes a functioning work of art. Brilliant!

[@hannahcawley6822]

I guess you could say this video is shear perfection 😌

[@CucumbersSC]

I love the choice to make every carbon steel bolt look like its chrome! Hell yeah! You do you, who cares if other people don't polish their bolts to a mirror finish. A fun quirk that makes your work stand out.

[@the.abhiram.r]

Huh? Quirk? I thought I had escaped Doug DeMuro

[@MrHackebeil]

Mit jeder Minute des Videos ist meine Kinnlade weiter runtergeklappt. Polierte, selbstgemachte Schrauben, aufgefüllte Gussbläschen...Handwerk in Perfektion und auch noch toll gefilmt, keine nervige Musik, nur die echten Geräusche. Ein Metallporno

[@screamy_]

i think i could watch him fix casting mistakes all day… i love filing down metal, its so soothing

[@MrScary-207]

The grease on every thread pleases me. I have a real hard time putting a bolt in anything without a dab of grease. The brand of grease tells me you spared no expense. Exceptional job.

[@BartoszBanachewicz]

Be careful when doing that in automotive, though. I find myself using thread locker way more often than grease.

[@trophythedrifter]

NEVER use any grease on thread , that's how you break screws and bolt !

[@MrScary-207]

I can't even put a light bulb in without dielectric grease : )

[@Farlig69]

@@trophythedrifter WTF???

[@trophythedrifter]

@@Farlig69 it's very simple, when you apply torque to a screw, torque is done from friction between threads. If you apply grease, you modify the nominal friction. This means that for the same torque on wrench, you will stretch the screw much more, most of time more than screw can afford. In fact, screw breaks occur at unscrewing time or under stress. It's exactly the same mistake than overtightening. If you have any doubt, unscrew all of your car or cycle and search for any grease...

Immer wieder schön Deine Videos anzusehen. Da steckt viel Herzblut drin. Das Beste aber ist, die Videos sind ohne nervige Hintergrundmusik.

[@davidmadsen9006]

Love how he's like can't fix it or buy a new So he will make a new one Love your vids man

[@statiraprs1471]

Not putting music on your videos has doubled the beauty of your work. Well done and thank you for sharing your works.
