If the old Cutter & Tailor forum was still up, so many people would have wanted to see this video. Nice find on the shears & nicely finished!

Thank you.

A masterpiece of restoration. Beautiful tailoring shears. Amazing custom made presentation box. ❤

Today I picked up a huge heavy Pair 15” made by H. Zindel’ N.Y in Excellent shape. Still very sharp. No restoration needed-just little oil rub. Your pair look exactly the same ,size just maybe 1” shorter. Cool Video 👍🇺🇸

Nice shears but prob should have been taken apart fully and could have been properly tensioned by the guy who I assume sharpened them. The two lug holes on the opposite side you were hammering (cringe) are for a tool to unscrew the bolt holding it all together. Which would also act as tensioner when doing up again. Bit late now but they do look great.

Good job.👍

great upload! just one question, where did you took the scissors in the old pops shop? what work you took it there to do?

[@humlehunden5099]

Thanks Isaac. It was for the sharpening.

I have those shares and they need to be restored. Is that something I can ship to you and have you do for me I would love the box as well. I’m curious about the price of doing all that.

[@humlehunden5099]

Hi. I'm glad you liked the video. I dont work with restorations. This was just something I did as a gift. I'm far from an expert, but if you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer what I can.

[@goodatbad33]

@@humlehunden5099 thanks for the speedy reply! I’ll keep looking for someone who knows how to restore them. I ready enjoyed your video… I’m gonna have to peruse the rest of your content:-)

At 5:00, I’ve been trying to find ANY references or something on how the bolts are put together. Can you explain what you’re doing and what you’re looking for? I got some Heinisch and the blades are so far apart, it’s ridiculous. I’d love to know what you’re doing so I can fix mine.

[@humlehunden5099]

Hi. The brass rivet is softer than the base metal so if yo take a small hammer and pound around the edges evenly you can decrease the amount of space between the blades. I accidently made mine to tight the first time so i had to bend it a bit and nock it back again. What you see is my second attempt.

[@jontrine9514]

@@humlehunden5099 thank you! I was naively hitting the center of the rivet after commenting this but I did get to unscrew the rivet. I’ll take the time to do as you described. Thanks!

What size are they in inches

[@humlehunden5099]

Blades are 17cm so about 6.7 inches

[@williamoverton7265]

Have you sold them?

[@humlehunden5099]

I made them as a present for my girlfriend. She uses them all the time.
