Restoring a Massive Chisel

[@professor62]

Wow, that’s a heckuva chisel! You did a fantastic job restoring it. Your work continues to impress me.

[@TheRussianWoodworker]

It's definitely a beast! And thank you I appreciate the kind words. It was definitely a project and a half

[@markgoode4109]

Another great job; it looked really good when you'd finished. The new turned handle is particularly nice. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes.

[@travwilson7827]

Thank you for sharing this. I enjoy your videos very much. Don’t give up. Keep going!

[@TheRussianWoodworker]

Thank you for watching! I'm glad that you enjoy my videos, I really enjoy making them. I had college applications the past few months and will have much more freetime to film videos now.

[@markharris5771]

I really like these restorations when they feature a more unusual tool. Thank you, a job very well done.

[@TheRussianWoodworker]

I like making them on unusual tools! Most of my other videos have some unusual stuff as topics as well.

[@WoodsleeSummercraftwoodturning]

Great job, I have one of these old chisels, I should restore it Take care Rob

[@TheRussianWoodworker]

Thanks for watching! And they're therapeutic to me when I restore them, I highly recommend it.

[@TheRussianWoodworker]

thanks for watching!

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Your very welcome Anthony! 😎

[@gordondeitz7838]

That is what's called a slick and is a tool used in boat building. The grip should be around 24" . You have a great tool there

[@TheRussianWoodworker]

Thanks for watching

[@TDIMAXDIESEL]

Utica tools, very good quality, I v got a couple of Utica pliers. Very nice restoration! 🇨🇦

[@TheRussianWoodworker]

Thanks for watching!

[@TDIMAXDIESEL]

@@TheRussianWoodworker your welcome! Always interesting!

[@TheRussianWoodworker]

I'm not sure if you checked out my more recent videos, but I recently redid a 4-in wide slick. If you know anything about slicks it's a very uncommon size and I had to do a fair amount of work to it to get it into a usable state. It's a good watch if you have some extra time.

[@TDIMAXDIESEL]

@@TheRussianWoodworker yes i will check it for sure!😊

[@TheRussianWoodworker]

@@TDIMAXDIESEL sounds good! My newer videos are definitely more in depth in my opinion

[@saracinosalvage6062]

More cow- bell! Nice lathe work too👍🏼

[@TheRussianWoodworker]

thanks for watching!

[@MARKBaid]

Nice job Anthony and have a Happy New year.

[@TheRussianWoodworker]

Thanks Mark you as well! Finally getting time to be in the shop, and your blanks are next in the list! Turned one piece of walnut I got from you and it made a gorgeous please.

[@lightning4871]

Good job!

[@TheRussianWoodworker]

Thanks for watching!

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

Really Nice! Did you consider putting a micro-bevel on the cutting edge? A 5-degree one usually lets the blade cut much easier through the wood.

[@TheRussianWoodworker]

Thanks for watching! I've heard of them but since I sharpen by hand most of the time there is already a bit of a micro bevel from that. Also this piece has such a huge weight that if you get it decently sharp it will just go.

[@mehmetertum6]

Good result , nice work ..

[@TheRussianWoodworker]

Thanks for watching!

[@spetsnaz1014]

At least you didn't make a knife out of it, well done.

[@TheRussianWoodworker]

Thanks for watching!

[@mantaship]

The container you're dipping that in to keep it cool? I get that same stuff...

[@wetdedstuocm]

Nice job.. Happy New Year Anthony..

[@TheRussianWoodworker]

Thank you! And Happy New Year to you as well friend!

[@baileysarna5660]

now this is epic

[@TheRussianWoodworker]

Yuh

[@timothynewkirk2654]

Nice job! What was the "Maker's Mark?" ...Newk from Kentucky

[@TheRussianWoodworker]

Made by Utica

[@carp614]

Looks like a timber framing slick.

[@TheRussianWoodworker]

Shipbuilders or timber framing slick. Both are pretty much the same thing

[@taranturtle1842]

What are the uses for such a large chisel?

[@TheRussianWoodworker]

They were used in shipbuilding and for building timber framed houses. They performed as a quick way to remove lots of material

[@markharris5771]

Taranturtle I was going to ask the same question.

[@ilantzur02]

You should have measured the inner diameter of the chisel before wood turning, it could have been thinner than necessary. And you should have kept the patina

[@TheRussianWoodworker]

Personal preference, and you must've skipped over the part where I used calipers to get the inside diameter of the slicks socket while I was turning...

[@joem1413]

Before you sharpen any chisel you must flatten the back first. There are a lot of videos showing how to do that. If you don't you will never keep it sharp.

[@TheRussianWoodworker]

Thanks for watching. I flattened the back just did not show it for very long. If you check out my other videos I restored a large 4 Inch slick that was badly warped and I did a better job showing what I did

[@jaspervianen]

Nice restoration! Why are you called the russian woodworker?

[@TheRussianWoodworker]

Thanks for watching! And I am first generation in the US and my parents are from Russia.

[@Tauri-xm7hk]

из какого дерева сделал рукоятку?

[@TheRussianWoodworker]

Я сделал рукоятку из кудрявого клена.

[@mickasorecountry510]

At the beginning you were listening to red hot chili peppers

[@Chef1Mat]

nice, why not put it into a fire to burn the wood out

[@TheRussianWoodworker]

Thanks for watching. The fire would ruin the best treat of the metal
