Old Cigar Cutter Restoration - Tool Restoration | Mister Patina
I bought this old cigar cutter online, when i received it, i couldnt find any brandings or marks on it. I think this old beauty is a handmade.
The Restoration of this cigar cutter took me about 12 hours. I started by disassembling and washing the metal parts. After that i sandblasted the parts in my sandblasting cabinet to get them rid of any rust and paint. A quick wirebrushing effects a nice finish for forther steps. So i blued some of the parts by heating them with my Volcano blowtorch and quenching them in oil. The remaining metal parts were sanded and polished, the blade was sharpened on a oilstone offcam. After the metalwork was done, i began restoring the wood parts by giving them the right angles, sanding and adding some wood oil. When reassembling, i used some (old) new screws and a new spring for the handle. Those parts were polished aswell. In the end i did the final test by cutting a way too thin cohiba and the rare orange cigar fruit ;-)
If you enjoyed the restoration, give it a like and a comment!
Thanks for watching!

Ähm did I just watch a restoration from a famous swiss channel? Man thats awesome camera and edit. The quality of your restoration is of course on point. Keep it up! Btw nice, that you realized, that the anchorage was attached in the wrong direction when you got it!

[@misterpatina]

Thanks so much for your words Bro! I really appreciate! ❤️

[@dekade420]

he put it on backwards.. that is the depth gauge so you don't cut off too much cigar.

[@SHOINOFF]

You should invest in a impact screw driver. I have one and it has saved me the head ache of stripped screws everytime ive used it. I got mine on ebay for around $25.

[@duaneho555]

As a cigar smoker I’d say the blade needs sharpened pretty bad but the restoration is great 👍🏻.

[@misterpatina]

Thanks!

[@travisa2538]

Was gonna say the same.😏

[@danceswithaardvarks3284]

was also gonna say the same

[@joesmoe71]

Agreed. Also ditto on it being a great restore!

[@boor1kify]

I agree as a carrot eater

[@andymack5093]

I just crack up at Mr. Patina's dry and very funny wit, as well as being amazed at the fact I am forever amazed at the many concourse restorations and transformations!

[@misterpatina]

Thank you so much Andy! I’m glad you like it 🙂👍

[@RMC-Restoration]

The result is really great. Especially the contrast between the wood and the black metal

[@mookystank]

Restoration videos like these are helping me to get through a very hard time, and ones that include a little humor like yours really help. Thank you for doing a wonderful job restoring these items, good film and editing work, and for adding in a little humor to what can be a very serious field of videos. You got a subscription from me, and I can't wait to watch the rest of your back log of videos and what you will do in the future.

[@amille223]

Cigar cutter looks fantastic. Very nice job. Four issues that could have been done better: Use a bigger cigar, use a fresh cigar, sharpen the cutter, and replace the cigar stopper properly. Otherwise, great job!

[@kregis81]

I enjoy the comedy you put into your work.

[@misterpatina]

Thanks Kerron! I always try to keep it a little entertaining 🙂

[@j.t.jackson5545]

Looks like your depth gauge is on backwards. During the before/after shots you can see it reversed

[@misterpatina]

Hey JT! It was premounted the wrong way.

[@IncuManiac696]

@@misterpatina you didn't even use the depth plate at 15:45, you just eye balled how much you wanted to cut, if the piece was the other way around, the cigarette would have stopped on that metal thing (depth plate). I think it was premounted correctly

[@rewlazman]

I tjink J.T. is correct. You cut cigars at the tip. The way it's set now, you wouldn't be able to set the gauge close enough for a proper cut.

[@boog110]

I hope everyone is appreciative as I am of the turning of the screw heads to the same angle.

It was a moment when my OCD kicked in :-)

The blade needs a great deal of sharpening and the depth gauge is on backwards but it looks amazing. Now all you need is to restore an old school table lighter and ashtray and your set!

Beyond restoring things well, the effort to check your comments and accept critiques is quite endearing.

[@misterpatina]

Thanks Christopher! I think its quite easy: I create content to gain a community, so take the effort to answer (most) of the comments and questions :-)

[@brycewells7030]

Very good restoration. A few thing. Maybe sharpen your blade and the depth gage is definitely on backwards. Not being rude just some constructive criticism. Great job. Keep it up

Would have helped if you had put an edge on it. Plus you put all that hard work into it to use an old dried up cheap cigar on it. It looked great though. Never use grease on things like that because if you smoked would you want it on your stogy? Enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up

[@ralz4682]

Those are likely fakes, the leaves were like mulch so floor droppings and left over fakies

[@AA-rv2xw]

Did you just call old Cohibas cheap? Lmao. I cringed every cut knowing their value

[@ralz4682]

@@AA-rv2xw no, I called those fakes. Huge difference as the leaves inside look like droppings and not while pieces like you'd find in a real cuban

There’s some restorers out there that just sand everything down and it takes away the true look of the product. I love how this guy actually takes his time to do his best. Props to you man

The best fixings

[@danceswithaardvarks3284]

Very nice restoration and great quality video. Looking forward to watching more of your content. I suggest making a larger, more robust, table for your belt grinder as it makes a huge difference and provides options for grinding and holding jigs. Replace the top "table" with (something like) a 100x50x10mm plate fixed with machine screws to a 75x20x10mm arm. I made a new fixing point by drilling an 8mm hole and welding a nut behind the existing mounting point, which i removed. Replace the bottom "table" with a 75mm length of 12mm round bar, drilled and tapped (M8) to 25mm and attached to the existing mount with an M8 bolt. I did these modifications to make a sharpening system for turning tools, but they have been of great benefit for tool restoration.
