Metal Shear Restoration | Small And Cute!

How nice and handy is this little tool? I love it! Another restoration project to take back to life and into work this metal shear.
This metal shear is made by Ficep, the same brand as my other rebar shear I restored a while back. Ficep is an Italian company founded in October 1930 by the Colombo and the Giuliani families in Gazzada As "Fabbrica Italiana Cesoie e Punzonatrici" - Italian Shears and Punching Machines Factory." Still the casting is marked as "acier forgé" that means "forged steel" in french.
Index of operation and materials:
0:58 Electrolysis in water bath, parts connected to negative, steel sacrificial anodes to positive of a 12V DC power supply (car battery charger) left overnight, drawing between 5 and 10 Amp.
1:34 Old Paint and rust fall apart after the electrolysis!
2:30 Disassembly, most nuts and bolt came out without much effort after the eltectrolysis.
3:25 Cleaning hardware with ultrasonic cleaner and alcohol
3:46 Removing any residual rust with MC-51 rust removal fluid
4:00 Cold blueing everything
4:17 Synthetic oil after the blueing
4:50 Grinding to a decent polish(400 grit on the belt grinder) the two steel jaws.
6:06 Quick wire wheel where needed
6:56 Cleaning the handle bar with the good old angle grinder and steel wire wheel
7:10 Painting BLUE because I like it better (I degreased all parts before paint)
7:52 Preparing the base, a heavy steel plate
8:07 Welding bolts to secure the shear, using the old mount as pattern
8:30 Assembly using oil on all steel surfaces
9:00 Making a copper spacer to ensure the jaws have no gap in between when closed
9:38 Painting the main marks just for fun
9:49 Designed a new sticker
10:07 Solid mounting solution, don't look at those welds tho...
I was able to shear:
0.5mm Copper
1mm Mild Steel
1.5mm Brass
2mm Nitro B stainless steel (hard stuff)
And paper like no other scissor!
Thanks a lot for watching, I hope you liked the video!

Hello my friend, I am from Russia. I always watch your videos you have very good work. Could you make for me a beautiful knife with a head of a lion or a tiger and with an inscription on the pen in your own name wish to write WeChat [phone]

[@HandToolRescue]

Shear-ly awesome! Nice colour choice.

[@rolandvaneeden1948]

Did you give him one of your unique shiftings? In this guy's leather bag video, he had one of those shiftings that I know only you have...

[@steveredenbaugh9058]

Have to Agree! Good to see Black Beard`s "Slice" of life.. it`s a " Cut " above the norm.

[@EkelundDK]

The sticker in the end nailed it for me. It almost hurt to see it go after the electrolysis, so it was very nice to see it restored as well.

[@tayyabsafdar7069]

Look at the quality of castings. Wonderful work.

[@AJRestoration]

The way it cuts is damn satisfying.

[@markharrisllb]

No metal workshop should be without one. I bought mine thinking it was a good price (£5), because I only do small projects it’s turned out to be one of my most used tools.

[@Ottee2]

Ahhhh, so satisfying to see this tool look new again. And your attention to detail; right down to the product sticker. Wow !

[@nico.m8346]

This is so strangely relaxing .

[@lefuvui5179]

Nico .M you should look at his other videos it’s really amazing

Restoration of the tools and then use it in upcoming videos is the nicest thing about your channel.

[@banmadabon]

One of the few few channels that has maintained, and I'd say increased, the level of attention at details and passion of the beginnings even now that the channel has reached a substantial number of subscribers and an increased audience. Big kudos for that!

[@kopriva007]

Great work, bravo. Great looking workshop.

Small ultrasonic cleaner tip: fill the basin with distilled water, and put the parts in a jar with cleaner on the rack You use less cleaner and it'll work a little faster. Awesome work as always though. :D

very impressive. I WAS disappointed at the end you didn't use the shear to shave of your arm hair to show how sharp it is. And i mean the shear, not just the blade! :-)
