Rusty Jammed Rebar Cutter - Restoration

In this video i'm restoring a hopeless case of a super rusty rebar cutter.
People from all over the world send me pictures of their items they'd like to have restored by me in a video. Mostly the items do not look bad enough, not enough rust or not broken enough for an interesting video. However this rebar cutter caught my attention from the first look at it. Marco from Italy was so nice to ship it to me to Switzerland, he gave me this shear for free means he doesn't want to have it back. Thank you very much for that. Right when I saw the pictures I knew this would probably be a very challenging restoration because of all that rust. I assumed that it would be all seized up and a nightmare to disassemble and I was right. This cutter only has four bolts and is built together by only five parts, but I was busy with the disassembling for three days. It was very difficult to get the two big bolts out, specially the smaller one. It needed 12 tons on the hydraulic press and I needed to drill one bolt hollow. I made a lot of parts new on this project, I've only kept three parts original: the body and the two moving parts. As the handle was missing, I made a new one which required quite a few steps of machining, welding and grinding but the end result turned out very nice. As I almost made the whole thing new I decided to give this tool a modern touch with the choice of colour, that's why I went with orange.
I hope you like my work and the video.

[@icemanmetalcutter8203]

Do you think it’s better to make steel from scratch like plasticine than buy it in a store? why then restore what they did at the factory, it’s better to do it yourself completely, almost nothing remains of the original

[@louisfkoorts5590]

​@ Iceman metalcutter 820... Re "Do you think... " a) The originals are good templates. Then you improve on that. b) Sometimes a intensive bath and grooming experience, have an therapeutic effect, greater than the sum of the actions involved. Some processes, go outside the scope of one's homeshop.

This was pretty close. And the tool he made is far less effective than the tools used to make it.

[@Xalashaska]

NoLord i don’t think that’s the point of restoring these old tools

[@ThereIsNoLord]

@@Xalashaska It seemed to be what occurred here. The main parts were re-made. The old parts are really pretty simple. More of a re-make than restoration. In my opinion.

[@Xalashaska]

NoLord but you’re arguing about the tools he made not being better then the tools he used to make them. which is true but not the point, weather it’s restoring or remaking the point is for us to see what these old tools looked like in their prime not to out-do or compete with current technology.

[@ThereIsNoLord]

@@Xalashaska I wonder how many other people think that's the point of these restoration videos. I like watching this kind of video just to see what is in fact possible with modern technology, despite the fact that using a CNC to make parts for a rusty re-bar cutter is very wasteful. Sometimes it is interesting to note than an old item is so well made that it can be restored. However, that was not the case with this tool. My favorite of his videos is the micrometer. An old rusty precision instrument with lots of precise pieces brought back to life. I get less excited by sanding and polishing a giant wrench is a mirror shine. What bothers me is that people seem to think doing this kind of thing is a productive activity, when it so clearly isn't. But all that being said, for demonstration purposes, there is a certain kind of interest in watching these transformations occur. And you're certainly free to disagree.

[@tiggrainmagma8716]

Just found your channel a couple of days ago. This is amazing and I'm in awe of your skills with not only your restorations, but also with talent you have with not only using the tools you use to restore whatever you are showing us. Your ability to make tools to help you with issues like removing stuck bolts, new cutting edges and even making new bolts, screw, washers, and the like is mind blowing. I kind of wish I took shop classes when I was in high school, cause even though this is clearly a lot more hard work and time then what we see, seeing the quality of your craftsmanship in the end result, must be rewarding. Thank you for showing us the skills, techniques, and end result of your restoring pieces of human history. How no matter how old something is, how broken down it looks, that with time, effort, the right tools, understanding proper methods, that these items can be restored and still be used today. Makes you wonder how much stuff in the land fields wouldn't be there if they just had more people like you able to restore these items and show how useful they still could be. Keep up the great work. Very much enjoying your craftsmanship.

Thank you for keeping this craft alive. I’ve had the pleasure of working with some fine machinists and metal workers. You are a rare breed and we need to keep this craftsmanship alive.

Thank you very much!

Every time I watch his videos, I am thinking the "right to repair" legislation process in USA, and how all industries has gone to idiotic situation that it is cheaper to buy s new one than repair a already produced but somewhat broken product. I spent my childhood in a schumacher shop and have lot of nice memories how people brought in their loved shoes, bags, gloves etc. All kinds made from leather etc. And it was so fascinating for young mind to see that how these items got a new life, and owners were happy about paying maybe 1/4-1/2 of the price of new ones, because they had value, fitted with other items or were wear so that they did fit. As well I spent my childhood times in the farm where you didn't throw anything away, you stored all kinds materials because sooner or later you could reuse them to fix something. And you fixed lot of tools, rebuild devices and created new tools for the need, because there was no time to go to another city to buy something, and it just was not worth to pay for something that you could fix yourself. I respect those who can do lot of things with their hands. That are ready to put extra effort to repair things. And it is somewhat sad to see that so many people don't anymore even value that restoration will make the item more valuable.

[@ronanmc2112]

Great restoration. I think this ‘no sparks’ cutting tools will become popular again. They’re quiet and efficient and safe to use.

[@gautamghosh8846]

You have demonstrated the entire restoration work by an example. Hats off.

[@mymechanics]

Thank you very much, much appreciated :-)

[@jeffclark658]

I was so relieved when you finally said, "I make a new one" after already making a new bolt without saying it! The tension was intense! 😃

I’m 52 and this one sent me back to when I was 12. Working with my older brother in iron works. I can’t count how many bars I cut with one of this. My first job. Good memories!!!

Great restoration! I've used brake fluid a few times to unseize engines. I'm wondering if a week long soak in brake fluid would have made things a lot easier for the initial break down.

After he drilled the bolt the rhythmic sound of the hydraulic press and the clang of the metal was super cool and hardcore industrial sounding. Loved it

Glad you like it :-)

For some reason I really liked the part where the part's edges were chamfered. Done manually with files too but so even on all sides. Bravo!

The harmful UV rays from welding do not project through your monitor into your retinas. In real life you would need to look away or shield your eyes.
