Pipe Cutter Restoration

Restoration of Old Vintage Pipe Cutter. This is a 2 inch 'Beaver' pipe cutter, manufactured by Square Built. I don't know the age of this tool. It belonged to my grandfather so I'd guess probably 1950s.

I love this format thanks that you do something for us viewers thanks .PS I celebrate your videos

[@RickaramaTrama-lc1ys]

These videos are so much fun to watch and make a wish that I had a shop like this but I still do some of this kind of work on old tools that look pretty good when finished. I get ideas from your works of art too. Thanks for such good editing~!

[@xMrsmileyfacex]

Really like the resto but what I like the most is the John Deere green color on the cutter. Sharp!

[@AcmeRestorations]

Me too. I love John Deere green!

[@lordvengerx]

This is top notch one of the best pipe cutters I've seen done. That tape up job before paint deserves a award in itself 👌

[@AcmeRestorations]

Thank you!

Outstanding job sir. Thank you for sharing. I appreciate the work and time you put into this project

[@AcmeRestorations]

Thanks for watching!

I like your gloves. And of course your videos. Keep up the good job man.

[@richardpalmer6196]

Excellently done sir . I am a fan of several different restoration channels from the U.S. , to across the Atlantic , to Asia, and back . All of the better restorers take the time for a few minor extras . An example is you removing the mold line on the handle . Was it structurally or functionally necessary ? No , but you have made it esthetically superior to the original. Now if only l could find restoration for my 75 year old body .

I understand that metal parts that are treated with sandblasting, if not treated with japaning or similar, rust very quickly. And i think you place the metal pieces that you have treated with the sandblasting directly on the artifact that you are restoring. Congratulations for your content.

[@jamest1148]

That Beaver looks great!

[@irongriprestoration7344]

Great job! The result exceeded all my expectations! Continue in the same style!

Another job well done by UA craft men.. See Ya

[@michaelskinner896]

I love the finished product. Excellent work! I'm just curious though as to why you didn't prime the bare metal before shooting it with your custom color.

[@AcmeRestorations]

No need to prime for enamel on cast steel (unless you are trying to fill voids or something.) Personal preference. I've never had any adhesion issues with enamel and hardener when painting cast steel. Other metals, I'd use a primer if called for.

[@michaelskinner896]

@@AcmeRestorations Awesome. Thanks for the info.

Uau!👍❤️

[@thesturm8686]

So that's how you're supposed to cut pipes...

[@TheCleric42]

I just use a karate chop

[@richardpalmer6196]

@@TheCleric42 , Ah the "this old Tony " school of metal working .

[@AcmeRestorations]

I wish he'd post a "how-to" video on that. I can't seem to make it work.

[@user-el8gf5wf1y]

And you didn't show how the knife was repaired.

[@AcmeRestorations]

The cutter blade? I made a mandrel for it to hold it on the lathe. Then I turned it slow against different grit whet stones to sharpen it. Then polished it. Then I forgot to include those video clips in the video. Sorry!
