Old Machete Restoration - DIY With No Power Tools

[@salonika101]

For some reason, watching restorations without machines & only by hand is so satisfying.

[@rizlak7735]

Hello salonika

[@littlefatguybombs9228]

I agree.

[@IllegalAlien51]

I found this to be the opposite.

[@carlosjones9107]

salonika101 that is how you are supposed to do it anyways

[@LeowithoneO]

Same

[@davidayres7973]

The lack of power tools made this vid so much more satisfying to watch.

[@SnarkyMalarkey]

*Hand go brrrt!*

[@JordanCreaser29]

For some reason, I just love machetes. They are like modern swords mixed with knives

[@peteoconnor8808]

In sixty five years I have never seen a machete as nice as that one! Wow and of course the handle!!

[@jocostlow7257]

I, too, would love to see a side-by-side at the end! It would make the finished product that much more impressive! Also, when I played this video for my husband, I had to go back to 2:56 to show off that mirrored finish. Amazing results. Keep up the good work and I can't wait to see your workshop back up and running!

[@minimaltrace]

Finally a video that says "no powertools", and there actually are none! Very nice work and great craftsmanship.

[@Raientai]

Love your videos! I really like that you don’t feel the need to add cheesy music and let us enjoy the work sounds. Very nice. I think that you should add a side-by-side or fade at the end though, showing a before and after. Would make it all that much more impressive. Keep up the good work!

[@Raientai]

Andre Will Do It Awesome! Can’t wait!

[@florin-vasilemitria6444]

Andre Will Do It what granulation u used?

[@alw1403]

Further information by voice would be very useful.

[@JoesGoldenGarage]

I got a machete, almost identical to this one that needs restoration . I’m so glad I found this video because now I think I know how to do it! I hope it comes out as nice as yours did! Thanks again.

[@Wannagobackto1980]

That has to be the best DIY RESTORATION by hand I have seen on here so far. Bravo sir. A machete Jason Voorhees would be proud of!!!!

[@jdzencelowcz]

That looks good enough to B used in ALL the Friday the 13th films!

[@Xuzon]

Working manually in that wood looked tedious but so satisfying

[@FA7ALtheGOD]

This was masterclass work without power tools.

[@greysim4038]

My father used to restore things when I was young, it brings back good memories.

[@Rykyuby]

Grey Sim for a second there i thought a fly was on my screen

[@tobywesley7728]

I am addicted to watching these kind of videos... there so satisfying

[@mogadeet6857]

Fantastic! All that hard work condensed into 9 minutes. Now I know what to do. Thanks mate!

[@geandily]

did it turn out? I am doing literally the sam ething now lol

[@Connor-fy2wh]

For some reason it’s so satisfying to watch the stuff repaired

[@louel9272]

I'm surprised the wooden handle did not catch fire 😆 great job! one question what can be applied to a high carbon blade to prevent future rusting?

[@thetrewsfan]

Wow, shaping the handle before cutting a slot right in the middle was absolutely an act of bravery! Great result, and I love the "no power-tools" aproach!

[@dzsjoker8931]

so satisfying to see an old rusty blade shining again,good job:-)

[@David-sw3on]

Wow🤔 I was just looking for a simple solution to remove rust off my Machete, while This man Went full out Old-Shcool! Very Cool To Watch- Thanks For That.👍😉🇨🇦

[@lSteveTheTrooperl]

wow, i love how its done by hand, really satisfying

[@navikarma4476]

thanks for doing it without power tools, it makes it more fun and also if you want to try it at home then its easier

[@jonalegria7686]

Nice job. I like the sawdust in the epoxy thing. Never seen that before.

[@OrangeCheekun]

Looks like custom wood glue. Neat trick haha

[@JorgeFernandez-jj4iu]

Ningún súper héroe mire que moviera las manos como tu jajaja. Ni de nuevo se veía así de chingon ay esta tu like amigo

[@TheMrthegovman]

Nice restoration, though I think maybe a hacksaw, the type with the .25 inch blade, would've helped make the making of the handle easier since you can manupulate the blade easy to cut curves with them.

[@opticaltrace4382]

Nice to see a job done with basic hand tools. We don't all have access to band saws & power tools. Nice job

[@rudergoober]

can you restore my life?

[@crpth1]

Gabriel Salazar - Most probably he can´t. But YOU can sand the rough edges, sharpen the cutting edge and polish it all to a bright shine. Makes a world of difference... ;-) Cheers

[@hernandezblogshernandezblo7288]

[@WW-kl5oc]

Jason would appreciate this beautiful work

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

WOW! What a fantastic example of fine work/craftsmanship! Very well done! And the 3 apples at the end... unbelievable!

[@jakeluna6178]

awesome! I have a pair from my grandpa, I want to restore and use them but they are still sentimental. They have plastic handles are probably from the 80s. How do you sharpen them? Should I change handles? what kind if i do? what products and order of grit sandpaper did you use? what did you use to polish? type of adhesiveness did you use? If i use a wood handle what kind do you recommend? Sorry for all the questions. But thank you

[@ghost085]

A machete worthy of a samurai. This video was very satisfying.

[@Larsonthebeach]

Unintended ASMR at its best.

[@rachelcoon6845]

I love restorations by hand. They’re better than ones with power tools tbh

[@TeeKartier]

Mr.Vorhees would be proud 😢👏🏾

Mrs vorhees and jason would appreciate mr vorhees was an abusive father to jason and pamela and pamela killed mr vorhees

Bro I watched full series it was 3 different machetes this guy must have restored them

nice work, man. nice to watch somebody uses hand tools instead of power tools

I hope your shop comes together well, you are my favorite tool restoration channel!

[@user-xc1qy7ed8l]

Jason will be proud of you

[@fzstormyx3424]

Boi it’s crazy how you did this all by hand good job 👍

[@kuga9512]

Wow your a legend, I have worked with wood and metal in high school and more recently mechanical engineering in college and it requires a lot of focus when it comes to filing the metal to a radius and working within the tolerances that are given. Watching you restore things just by hand and skill is satisfying as well as inspirational. Good on you mate.

[@brucewaynehdl6388]

Magnífica restauración, te felicito viejo !! 👍👏👏👏

[@chiblekndeso]

All I see is .. both your hands are like magician's hand !! I was amazed

[@connortremeer1966]

Omg the apple slice at the end cracked me up cause im plaing the video at 1.25 speed so they just sliced themselves

[@Velvet-Of-Erion]

No they didnt. You see the swing 🙄

Sharp Works Quality content.

[@jaaykay959]

Sharp Works there’s dozens of KZbin channels that do the same thing, KZbin’s algorithm just picked Andre up. Unless he bought ads there’s nothing to really do to grow fast without pure luck.

[@SharpWorks]

Andre Will Do It thanks for the comment back

[@wavedash-]

the youtube algorithm lottery is a mysterious being

[@cherriberri8373]

Quality content with decent quanitity, and because he's covering something that's harder to do and very cool, so there's a low supply and high demand, for a free price.

[@lakevacm]

Wow. This guy’s pretty damn good. I just bought an old Collins Legitimus 1941. It needs some work. The sheath is in amazing condition, but the blade has some pitting. It’s like someone bathed the sheath in raw linseed oil for 80 years.

[@sonyhk3824]

It's incredible. Thanks

[@4shac]

Today is July 26, 2024.. Wow thank you for video. Finished product looks brand new.. Now i can try and restore an old machete that belonged to my grandpa..

[@MartinKronstrom]

Now with this machete I could Indiana Jones my way to the backyard tool shed...and bring back a bottle of champagne to sabre it with.

[@lasagnatitty2071]

Martin Kronström why is there champagne in ur tool shed

You should use a sabre to sabre a bottle of champaigne, not a machete.

I'm glad you gave the handle some character. The generic ones take plain to the extreme. Looks awesome. I did one similar a few years ago, it's already started to go rusty again unfortunately. It wasn't as shiny or nice as yours.

I don't why, but I really like your videos

If that's hardwood, then there's no way a screwdriver would have enough force to break the surface of the wood in order for the screw to go in.
