Not that it means much, but you know what I mean...

Jesse Patnaude

Was wondering if you were going to post another vid. Hope the new shop is coming along well!

Erich Keane

Well, huh... I always fashioned you as one of the bad guys. Like the doctor who fixed up John Wilkes Booth, you repair old tools so that they might murder again! I guess what they say is true, no one is the villan in their own story.

handtoolrescue

Haha, true. They are usually more dangerous than this one.

Dennis Bishop

Yes, I want an official Hand Tool Rescure t-shirt! Please! Take ma money!!!

ChuckD

Belt doesn't go with anything I wear, but nice return to the living!

handtoolrescue

Haha, I only made a handful. I should make some more then.

Planky

What's the benefit of evaporust if you are going to sand blast the parts?

Planky

Would have never thought of corroding the steel pin to get it out, genius!

For the first time on film, I had to de-rust the parts first, just to see where paint was and wasn't. There was so much paint loss in areas that it would have been really hard to tell if a part was painted a certain way if I didn't have a better look with the rust removed. Sandblasting first would have messed this up.

Wilmer Schock

Yep, you should, and put me down for one too.

Paul Hédouin

FINALLY ! Another video ! Thank you from France !

Felix

Hey! Using a pin punch as a pin punch! That rotating vise is pretty sweet!

Felix

AvE would be proud. Using the ultrasonic cleaner was a great idea too.

Felix

Wow that was a lot of effort just for that handle. Worth it tho!

Felix

Now you can have your own line shaft!

Those handles were masterpieces! I love all the objects of your restorations, but this one looks particularly well designed and well-made, right down to the fasteners. I hope Dave Richards saw this video as he runs an active, steam powered, belt-driven machine shop. What am I saying. I'm sure you know all about Dave Richards.
