I just did my first vinegar soak on some small hand tools. I had the problem SC mentioned. Now I know what to do for my hack saw refurbish. I bought the hacksaw for $2 at a junk store I can't wait to finish up some Spring chores I have to do around the house so I can start the refurbish this hack saw.

Hi Eric! Yes! I have found that the difference is usually the amount of time it takes.. Most acid, chemical, electrolysis.... Wind up looking similar, it just gets rid of the surface rust so you can get to work with the abrasives! =) Thanks so much!

So thank you for the videos, the passion, and all the information you give out on your channel.

What a fantastic restoration, and educational too! A couple of questions for you: 1) Now that the tool is restored, before you put it away in your collector's chest, do you hit it with Carnauba Cleaning wax, or with oil? (for rust protection) 2) When you chucked up your homemade pin in the metal lathe, weren't you concerned with the jaws crushing the threads? Or did you just cut off the threaded area that was in the chuck after you were done?
@ScoutCrafter
@ScoutCrafter 5 жыл бұрын
Hello NN! Great questions!!!! Yes I always hit it with Mother's Carnauba after polish. It stops the finger prints from showing! =) As for the pin I wasn't worried about the lathe crushing the threads because like you said I cut off the threaded part that was chucked after the operations! That is the real key to machining, learning the steps to take! So many times I made the mistake of finishing a part then having to hold the finished part in the chuck and damaged it! LOL I am getting much better at looking ahead now! =) Thanks NN!!!!!!!!!

My best needle-nose pliers (SN56P) & side cutters (S56P) are Diamond Calk (acquired late-1960s) My Dad (veterinarian) had a wide assortment of Diamond tools that he used on farm and with livestock. I acquire New Old Stock Diamond Tools, from that era, when they appear at hardware distributor closings. - Duluth is near the Missabe deposits of iron ore (hematite), so the company had ready access for producing various iron/steel alloys (DiamondAlloy). Sadly, the original family sold the company in 1981. By 1994, Cooper Tools closed the operations and demolished the buildings in 1996. The brand name is no longer actively used by Apex Tool Company.

Nice repair/restore, you do good work! Personally think the adjustable wrench is the devils tool, a monument to the God of scrapped knuckles, and rounded over bolt heads. Plus most people don't understand how to use one properly, putting the pressure on the fixed jaw, add to that todays sloppy manufacture, and there will be blood. Edit your video to add a segment on proper usage....it'll be fun.

I'm a huge fan of Diamond tools. They've always made some killer heavy duty tools. I just picked up one at a swap meet a week or so ago for $2. Gonna have to show that one off. It's almost NOS condition with the exception of surface rust.

You did such a beautiful job. I love this video. You know, I was thinking about that paint spot. Tool restorers are good at removing minute pitting... but there's really know way to add it when you need it. It sure does show how paint protects metal.

Also, I wanted to add that I really liked that edit where you turned the camera at the end of one shot then cut the next shot in the middle of a turn. I rewound that a couple of times. Good job.
