Restoring An Old $20 Stanley Chisel

[@metaspencer]

Like all your projects: pure, simple, and brilliant. Great film work and you certainly honored that old tool.

[@chadgrimes5119]

Andy Rawls and bob from "I like to make stuff" is far my most fav woodworking channels in KZbin. Bob being the talkative guy and Andy as the silent one

[@PeriodWoodworker]

From many years of experience and replacing hundreds of chisel handles, I can say with experience that a couple of sets of large dovetails or mortises will demand the end of that handle be rounded and not faceted. Very nice job on the old Stanley. Steve

[@christopherbarnes6976]

Lucky Dog, that is one sweet chisel. Great job. Thanks for sharing.

[@InformationIsTheEdge]

I love that you gave new life to that old tool. Fantastic for $20!

[@rhiannonclarke6894]

I absolutely love these videos! Theyre so high quality which makes them pleasing to watch and everything is just so entertaining. I cant wait to see more when they come 😍

[@dwsmilee6]

I see you showing off that bench, Andy...and i like it!

[@madjidbelkadi7348]

merci pour vos vidéos très originales car sans paroles ni commentaires inutiles par contre elles valent un million de mots sans intérêts. merci aussi pour votre générosité dans la démonstration et l'exécution de vos ouvrages continuez sur cette voie et bon courage d'Alger.

[@Tomhohenadel]

Excellent job, gratifying to see an old tool brought back to usefulness. Thanks for the video

[@peterkolovos3079]

Very nice. I'm learning so much from guys like you on KZbin.

[@JS-ph1kt]

The one thing I noticed the most out of this amazing video was that beautiful ring you had on. I would absoloutley love to have one just like it.

[@artrobert0875]

Thats a beautiful chisel

[@gregmather7169]

Can't think of the magazine but this reminded me of the section"Wordless Workshop" on steroids. Great craftsmanship, camera placement, and editing! A picture, I mean a video, is worth a thousand words.

[@brianshelley88]

Greg Mather handyman magazine.

[@SambosStopMos]

Very cool, love bringing the glory back to a old tool. Thought it was interesting how you made a new handle, and funny that we use the some oil for our wooden spoons.

[@samgrosz715]

Your channel inspires me to make stuff right now I'm making a wooden chair out of an old oak from my yard. Keep it up !

[@Jamkevcr88]

Restoring tools is starting to become a hobby of mine I just finished restoring an old sears and Roebuck 6 inch jointer and I had a blast! Looking forward to your next video!!!

[@JoshBabin]

Awesome stuff. Gotta love a 2" chisel

[@garethkortegast7002]

Your loving the dream alright. Well done. Love the wine glass rack!!

[@opasworkshop8373]

Beautiful work Andy turned out great.

[@theophilussampson618]

Well done. I like the set up of your work shop

[@periodcraftsmen]

Great video. Great save. I love 2 inch wide chisels.

[@AndyRawls]

+Freddy Roman Thanks Freddy! I always enjoying seeing your work on Instagram

[@ComeOnYouBoyzInBlue]

Keep the videos flowing man, I can't get enough! Hopefully one day I'll be as good as you in this trade

[@muaadfarid5607]

I really love your videos, you should film more

[@Benjaminolah]

This video reminds me of the good old DiResta videos. I guess you have taken over his beloved place in my subscription list now 😂❤️

[@signmeupruss]

Thanks. This was highly relevant and useful for me.

[@marfbuilds2204]

ASMR for Wood and Metallworker. Keep on the good Work 👍

[@sethgrueneberg]

Dang Andy, Cibolo Creek! That’s my long time old friend’s brewery! Great people. Nice work, and I look forward to the new direction of the channel.

[@AndyRawls]

+Seth Grueneberg Awesome! I love that place...built their bar top last year.

[@Northern_Sea]

This video is like ASMR to me. So cool!

[@garrettadelmann6301]

awesome work! I'd love to see a project where you burn wood while on the lathe. I use a small steel wire and it looks awesome on all my projects.

[@MrZ-ni8ss]

Very nice I need to find a $20 chisel like that

[@mantaship]

Dang! I thought it was sharp when it cut the paper, but when you had it chirping the wood... I was never a fan of grinding wheels as I didn't want a convex shape, but as you used that to rough it out then moved to the stones, you've changed my mind.

[@btparker08]

Burnished the handle. Love it!

[@darkoneoutdoors1237]

You do great work. I love your videos. Keep it up.

[@DavidWaller123]

I like the subtitles/typed comments.

[@charlesgilliland532]

Nicely done.

[@picax8398]

Looks amazing

[@tomsdreamshopworx]

Great video! Great chisel!

[@cetyl2626]

I love these kind of vids

[@keiphillips7648]

Beautiful

[@khalidalamri651]

Hello, great job, but why do you use 4 sharpeners? What is the difference between them and the work of each of them?

[@kevinalmeyda]

I, too, lost my voice in a tragic tablesaw accident. Stay strong. And great videos, BTW.

[@willuu2795]

Kevin Almeyda I’m pretty sure he didn’t lose his voice, he just doesn’t talk

[@artjuice8087]

Whatever you say Poop John 1

[@ninabrd9867]

He has voice...

[@brandonrippeonphoto]

Poop John 1 Im pretty sure it was a joke...

[@gilbertogestorcouto]

Kevin Almeyda is it really?

[@karsonhart2820]

My grandpa made mesquite furniture in Sabinal, Texas. I’m from Concan area. I used to know but I cannot remember what holding sawdust on the wood that you just worked on while it’s still spinning. Can someone remind me?

Very good job 👋👋

[@moonlightsnowfall6734]

Nice work

[@fat2slow]

that was just amazing

[@ouagadougou62]

A fine piece of work, curious halfway through the video the wood looks completely different and light in colour then at the end it's dark again. Did you make 2 handles?

[@AndyRawls]

+ouagadougou62 thanks! there's the original handle that looked old with a leather top then the new one I made from walnut.

[@MrJackchap]

Nice job

[@adirmiller2141]

You're very talented

[@hebierob]

Restoration...could be a parable....

[@peroskarsson8455]

Impressive sharpening job with stones. I personally use a minimum of 28 japanes oil stones for a start and finish off with tooth paste on a soft brush..

[@Drew00013]

Just an idea if you want to add commentary on what you're doing throughout - do like the Primitive Technology KZbin dude. Don't talk during, but use the closed captions to add little blurbs about what exactly you're doing. Could be neat for comments about what grain sandpaper, why you're doing something, etc.

[@AndyRawls]

+Drew Mayes I might try that...thanks for the suggestion

[@108ashtangi]

Sweet work. Thanks for posting.

[@EddyGurge]

Cool part for me? I have the exact same Delta Iron Bed. Your work is amazing.

[@AndyRawls]

+EddyGurge thanks!

[@kunlegrant369]

Good steel !!!

[@anthonycorona4789]

I wish I had woodshop at my school.

[@samuelbuchert7184]

Damn that’s sick

[@abeltripoli9132]

I wonder why you used the drawknife to round the end of the handle instead of the lathe...great video!

[@stevewalker7822]

Bi just found an older chisel to work on and know I have something to go by for restoring it.

[@Madmun357]

You did that thing on the lathe that Norm Abrams used to do, with the sawdust.

[@irorules]

what is the degree of the bevel on the edge. what, in your opinion is the best angle for these kinds of chisels?

[@jarbeefis]

Some people in the comments asking what that paper was, and here I'm like "Have you guys ever heard of sandpaper before!?"

[@kengamble8595]

Glad to see you bring it back to life, I hate seeing one being abused ! Was that just water that you were using on the stones? Thanks for sharing and take care.

[@huracan200173]

Awesome, but I was waiting to the handle to be "glued" in some way, and all the way in. Those last 2mm were a pain to watch for my OCD

[@chdmorrison]

Hey Andy. I'm just starting to get into woodworking and was wondering if you had a link to the sharpening stones you use.

[@AndyRawls]

+Random_Precision I'll put it in my description

[@ryaneuer2124]

Andy Rawls. I am getting into wood working thoroughly enjoy your content. Excellent job! Since I am beginner, what sharpening stones/grit are you using in this video? I live in Temple, TX. I have Home Depot, Lowes, etc near me. Any help would be appreciated.

[@ToyProtecter]

Ryan Euer Strongly suggest you look elsewhere for training videos, not great skills. Try Paul Sellers. Just saying.

[@halim97]

Good job

[@TheDecguy]

Yes. Says it all

[@Hustle24seven]

Why are you putting wood shavings on the handle as it spins? Just curious.

[@shanestamper8495]

Just wondering what solution you are using on your wet stones? Is that just water in an oil bottle?

[@Liamautomechanic]

good vid.

[@hazembata]

I dig it.

[@tomatoebob1240]

I have the exact same calipers you used in the video. Mine doesn't have any markings on it and was wondering if you know the name of the manufacturer. 5:00

[@MyHouseOnTheMoon]

Is it ever necessary to redo the heat treat on a tool like that?

[@BruceAUlrich]

Love it!

[@richnewman6695]

What type of sharpening stones do you use? I'm looking for a good set. The ones you used looked to do a great job. Your one of my favorite channels!

[@doodlybox6716]

You should make a wooden horse for your daughter. That's be cool to see

[@1pcfred]

I have two two inch slicks now. Let's just say they're a lot longer than what I'm seeing here. One the overall length of chisel and socket is over a foot. My other one is about a foot even socket and chisel. That's not the handle just the metal. So that's apparently the size they were made. The one here must have gotten ground to death in its lifetime. You bought a stubby nubbin of a chisel. They saw you coming at $17.50 too. I paid $5 for the first one I got and got the second with a handful of tools for $3. So I paid maybe a buck for it? It doesn't have a handle though. I bought a shovel last week that I'm going to cut up and make a handle out of its handle. I paid a buck for the shovel.

[@jbjbuild]

Sweet!

[@richardrappleyea7307]

Hey man you need to wear a dust mask when grinding on metal. The dust is just as bad or worse than dust from woodworking

[@caseyhermansen3699]

Why rub saw dust/ shavings on the handle why it was on the lathe?

[@eazyshooting5390]

Hey I think it will be cool if you make a stepping stole with only using hand tools and no power tools

[@justinpitcox2945]

Where did you get your sharpening set?

[@LOJO5000]

What was the purpose of rubbing sawdust on the handle while it was in the lathe?

[@sydneymcguire3137]

Its called burnishing, im pretty sure it just enhances the color

[@dcmccart25]

Nice.

[@fd4294]

Awesome! Andy, where can I have the sharpening stones used in your video please? Thanks...

[@AndyRawls]

+Fred Creole Native for the Chicago Starr stones I think we'd DMT diamond stones and fit the finer honing I used Shapton ceramic stones

[@AndyRawls]

I put a ink in my description to the stones I use

[@fd4294]

you're the boss!!!

[@stefanwolf88]

Pleasure to watch as usual. What kind of stones are the first two?

[@AndyRawls]

+Stefan Wolf diamond stones

[@stefanwolf88]

Andy Rawls thanks

[@discordmarauder]

Dude be careful with the damn drawknife Also fine job

[@MrZayne8]

ok I've seen enough. subscribed

[@jarack1]

I see chisels all the time at yard/garage sales if I only had the tools to refurbish them

[@kanemeasham-pywell92]

Jack Bennett I buy these types of tools at garage sales and restore them with other hand tools from garage sales it just takes a little more time and a few more tools

[@alierem4266]

6 years since you wrote this. Hopefully if you collected few of them, you are richer in chisel stock. Many ppl use minimal manual hand tools to restore/repair these beauties. Keep on checking out 2nd hand markets & community places for these.

[@ethanelliot3247]

You should do more restoring vids

[@htc296]

Sweet video! Cringed at the end with the squeaking though! Lol

[@gaborbudai1518]

Amazing!!!

[@katalinszalai6709]

TRUE!!!!

AHOGY MONDOD GÁBOR!! NAGYON IGAZ

[@josephbohme7917]

ever try using a funnel with sand paper inside for chamfer

[@enbardis]

Do people do this just because they can or are old chissels better than new ones?

[@kengamble8595]

Elias Bardis If you have to ask, you won't understand.

[@enbardis]

Ken Gamble that's the point of asking...because I don't understand...

[@kengamble8595]

Elias Bardis I don't know if they are any better, maybe some of them are. I think it's more of a respect for tools, plus, I really don't like waste !

[@enbardis]

Ken Gamble thats a perfect answer and makes sense. Thanks

[@alecthemad]

For the price you might be getting a higher quality tool. There is a lot of satisfaction in restoring an old tool to use. I just restored a jointer plane today and was immensely pleased with myself.

[@tomvanderlinde5985]

Can you make more wood turning stuff i like that.

[@nicksnow8548]

Damn! Tex! Damn!!

[@tannerwilliams5407]

You should make a gun rack for demolition ranch (I saw the little colaberation with you guys on his channel)

[@DaBigChimp]

You should do a "q and a"

[@lucasmccue7030]

Your amazing

[@david1888]

It's a shame u can't do full videos builds or Tutorials that r like an hour or 2 long I no there's plenty of ppl on here that would would love that
