I don’t really get all the hate on this video. If you have criticism, that’s good, but to just be outright mean to a guy? What’s the point? If you don’t like his restoration you can click off or go restore your own. He’s just showing us his skills, there’s no need to be so harsh.

[@otterino1419]

@J C its a mix of that and the history behind the item itself the restoration was nice at the end though I will admit for what it actually was being and any shovel it didn't really ebd up looking like an army just kinda liked like a replica which was abit of a shame though there's probably a decent amount of people who got pissed off by that though with it being most likely quite a common piece of equipment from the time its not like he was defacing some are artifact from the war or anything

The Odd Rabbit that’s true. I know a lot of painting restoration is solely about restoring the painting to what the artist intended it to be, so I see that as a fair point. Thank you for replying in such a civil way.

This guy is not a professional this is a hobby of his to restore stuff to a usable state he isn't trying to do a museum restoration. The history channel made everyone an expert i guess. There's different types of restoration at least he's making things usable again like they were meant to be and they aren't siting and corroding. If u want a professional to the t museum quality restoration don't watch a hobbyist.

American troops, including myself, carried the same shovel, but it was painted Olive Drab or OD. To be true to the nature of the item and its history, a restoration should have been with the original color. Just my opinion.

[@Coinfindr]

some tips for you, do not stroke the file backwards, it will ruin the file pretty fast, always lift the file on the back stroke. an easy way to get rid of rust is to use evaporust as it wont eat the metal away (that vinegar does) and it only removes the rust very quickly. evaporust is a non-toxic, non-acidic solution and after use it leaves a protective film on the de-rusted item that protects it for about a week and its easy to remove, just rinse it with water and you got a clean part

[@Seabee_133]

I watch a machinist Abom79 on KZbin and he has heard this argument about lifting the file on the backstroke. He has files that he has used all his life without lifting on the backstroke and they are as good as they were on the day he bought them. I also have files that I use and they are as good as the day they were bought or received and I don't lift on the backstroke either, but I don't use mine that often. So the argument goes on, lift or don't lift?

[@Coinfindr]

I have files that got ruined by not lifting on the back stroke, cheap ones get ruined in like 5 strokes backward and more expensive ones (bahco) can take like 20 and then they are not better than a pocketknife nail file...

[@tnuc748]

​@@Seabee_133 Think of saving energy a file only ''cuts'' on the front stroke, so putting energy into going back and forth is inefficient, and yes it does blunt them overtime but it has a lot to do with what you're filing, you'll blunt a file pretty quickly rage filing back and forth on titanium, but not so much on aluminium.

Your derusting in vinegar would be much more efficient if you attack the rust with a wire brush (angle grinder!) first. The less rust the vinegar has to eat away the better it can do it.

I used to bring it to the beach and dig sand forts while people swam or sunbathed. Here it is decades later, and in hindsight I can only imagine what my Dad was thinking, seeing his son play in peacetime with a piece of his gear from the great war. Swords to plowshares.
