Watch this Restoration , Win this Restored Skilsaw !
In this video, I restored a rusty Skilsaw into a collector's item that you can win! The journey of this restoration began a few months ago when I was approached by SKIL Europe. In celebration of their 100th anniversary in March of this year, they requested that I restore a tool for them. They presented me with several old tools from their storage, and I chose to restore a circular saw. This choice was inspired by the fact that the story of SKIL began 100 years ago with the invention of the circular saw. For those interested in its history, I’ll include a link to the SKIL Europe website: www.skileurope.com/uk/history.
The restoration process was challenging, involving numerous parts to refurbish. Some parts were missing and required me to fabricate new ones. The pressure was significant, as the restored tool needed to be sent back to SKIL Europe for presentation. This circular saw will be showcased at the EISENWARENMESSE - INTERNATIONAL HARDWARE FAIR 2024, which takes place from March 3-6, 2024, in Cologne, Germany. If you're interested in seeing this Skilsaw or visiting their booth, I encourage you to do so.
The stakes of the restoration were high, as SKIL plans to gift this tool to a lucky winner, necessitating a flawless finish. For those interested in entering the giveaway and signing up for their newsletter, here’s the link: winwithskil.com/100y/.
That's all for today dear viewers , I hope you enjoy this restoration video ! Cheers , David !

I consider myself pretty crafty. I’m a blue collar guy. If i’ll ever find out that you’re an office manager or an investment banker with these kinds of skills I don’t know if I could go on living.😂
I’m a lawyer 😅 just joking. I actually made car detailing before so you can live well 😅😅👍
I could do this so easily but I'M TRANS and no one will give me the tools or pay for my lessons because of cis privilege.
👏You did a great job, i hope they will send you more tools to restore 🥳
Thanks a lot Tysy 😘
they didn’t send anything to him. nor was that on the shelf. he probably just went and looked at a shelf of used tools at Skil to create a story and intro.
@@abcdefghijklmnop514Had a bad day? Hope it gets better 🙏 Read the comment above this thread. Skil confirms this.
It was very satisfying to see how you recreated the knobs. Great project and congrats on successfully bringing an electric back to life. 🎉
Thanks mate 😊
Hey, what are you doing here? go back to work!!🧐
You know your work made an impression when you get asked by a major tool company to restore a tool for them. You deserved that honor. The saw looks amazing, excellent job.
Thanks a lot and glad you enjoyed so much 🙏
Imagine the cool stuff this saw may have made and now its officially too good to use! 😂 So much work in this, glad you are back brother. My favorite part was when you made the Knob.
Thanks a lot mate , glad you enjoyed and glad you are back too! Your channel is my favourite one and you are the reason I don’t quit my KZhead career when I was small channel . 👍 be well
@@CoolAgainRestorationamazing job brother!!! You are a true craftsman!! Keep up the good work. I have a vintage gumball machine you should restore
I always thought too restore one but on KZhead are restored many by other . I don’t know what interest will make another gumball machine
@@CoolAgainRestoration Did you get their autograph? How about photos of the CEO in the place?
@therealrockstargamer you mean if I give them my autograph ✍️
An honor for SKIL Europe to approach you! 🌟 And a wonderful restoration - as usual! 👏🏻👏🏻
The honour is ours. Its great to see a professional at work and we are in love with the result!
@@SkileuropeYes, I agree with you.
Great partnership! A win for our Restorer and for Skil
This comment needs to be pinned.
You don't know how good is watching a such professional restoration like you do. Congratulations and Happy Birthday to SKIL. They made a good choice approaching you.
Thanks a lot and glad you enjoyed so much 😊 cheers
That is so cool! What an honor for you to be chosen by SKIL Europe to restore this piece. I'm glad to see you back and hope that you are feeling much better!
Thanks a lot and glad you enjoyed 😊
Wow nice!
@sallyweiner4180 thanks a lot 😊
Best I’ve seen on these “restoration” sites. EXCELLENT work my man!
Thanks 👍
I've seen comments about how proud you must be, that Skil asked you to restore a tool.... ... Respectfully, I think it's the other way around. Skil should feel lucky that you accepted the request. Those one-off knives for the handle are OVER-THE-TOP cool!! You are very impressive, sir! This thing looks fantastic!
Thanks a lot for your lovely words and support mate 😊 cheers
My mom and me are thrilled that you are back. We loved the restoration of the Skil saw, but that shouldn't be a shock because we love all of your videos. We hope that you are feeling good, and, as usual, we can't wait to see your next project. 🙂
Thanks a lot for these kind words ! Cheers to you and your mother ! Take care of 🤗
👍😊👍
You're one of KZhead's greatest restorers. I bet more companies will call on you to restore stuff.
Thanks a lot 😊
@@CoolAgainRestoration Anytime.
This is why I love you tube. These older tools would be thrown away. You make them works of art❤
Thanks a lot and glad you enjoyed 😊
I freaking love my skil worm drives, that will be great when finished I’m sure. Let’s watch👀
Hope you liked it 😇
I'm impressed with your attention to detail. That really stands out. You clearly know your stuff. Well done Sir
Thanks a lot mate 😊
Very Skil-fully done! As usual, you not only restored it but made it better than new!
Thanks a lot for that 😊
8:59 is the best shot in the video. That Skilsaw logo is perfect!
Thanks a lot and glad you enjoyed so much 😊 cheers
Great work. Nice to see these old beauties brought back .
Thanks a lot and glad you enjoyed 😊
Ma bucur ca Skill te-a ales pe tine sa faci o restaurare, asta inseamna ca ei stiu sa aprecieze o persoana "meseriasa" 👍🙂
Mulțumesc frumos ptr încrederea acordată 🤗
What a great collaboration!!!
Thanks a lot Seaddead 👍
Glad you’re back very professional refresh of this tool outstanding job.
Thanks a lot Keith 😊
Great restoration. I'm sure it's much more durable than modern ones.
True 👌
Skil is such a classic tool brand. I grew up using my dad’s skil saw. This video reminded me of all the projects me and him used to do!
Thanks a lot and glad you enjoyed so much 😊
Happy New Year and welcome back - you have been missed. Thank you #SkilEurope for partaking in helping make this video. Loved every single second of watching your craftsmanship; especially the making of the new knob/handle. I had no idea as to what you were creating. It is always a cool surprise when you don't know what you are creating. Thank you for sharing your craft with us and we all wish you a happy and healthy 2024.
Cool Again and SKIL share the passion 😁happy you like it!
Thanks a lot Greg and glad you enjoyed! Thanks again for these kind words 😊

bravo, doar cineva cu skill poate repara un Skill!
Merci fain 😊
The lifetimes worth of skills this guy has is truly incredible
Making custom tooling to achieve great custom results is epic and is what keeps you top of the game.! Thanks for sharing
Thanks a lot and glad you enjoyed so much 😊
The face you admitted to electrical not being your strongest skill. Really made me appreciate your effort even more. From the video you look like a pro. I can't seem to wrap my head around electricity either. Great restoration, it looks beautiful. Maybe I'll win it
Thanks a lot and glad you enjoyed 😊 cheers and happy if you’ll win 👍
Absolute perfection at its best sir. You have an incredible talent and your restorations are the best I have ever watched. What a Friday morning treat to watch a true master at restoring things. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks a lot James 👍 cheers
May i just say, the design choice to be able to change the brushes for the motor from the outside! Love it!
A result you can be proud of. Congrats !
Thanks a lot mate 😊
I've been watching your videos since lockdown 2020 and you've inspired me so much I've learned a fair few bits off you too. Thank you mate! You and MyMechanics are the best restoration channels in my opinion 🤗
Thank you very much for your lovely words ! Be safe and we’ll mate and be creative on your projects too 🤗 cheers
This is probably one of the most impressive YT videos ive seen
Thanks a lot and glad you enjoyed 😊
Making the plastic knob of all things was most impressive to me for some reason. I thought the plastic handle would be buffed out not painted. Good stuff
Thanks a lot and glad you enjoyed 😊
Honestly one of the best videos I’ve seen on KZhead and I’m only 11:00 minutes into it.
Thanks a lot for your lovely words and glad you enjoyed 😊
Skilsaw and highly skilled restoration; amazing!
Thanks a lot and glad you enjoyed 😊
WOW! What a perfect restoration as always. It's a pleasure to watch you work your magic. Beautiful end product David, very well done. Making a tool to make a knob handle, there's nothing you can't do! God bless you! ❤️🙏🏼
God bless you too mate 🙌
What a cool experience for SKIL to invite you and offer you such a cool project. Absolutely a great restoration! Expertly done, sir. Happy 100 years, SKIL.
Thanks a lot mate and glad you enjoyed so much 😊
Always impressed with your machining skills.
Thanks a lot and glad you enjoyed 😊
Incredible work as always! Glad Skil knows what you’re capable of. I hope you’re feeling much better and winter hasn’t been too rough on you
Thanks a lot Alice and glad you enjoyed 😊 thanks for your worries and support too 🤗
It's cool to see how much care and effort you put into each piece. Even the small things like planning to turn the old blade into a knife. Thank you for sharing you work!
Thank you very much and glad you enjoyed 😊 stay safe
I switched all of my tools over to SKIL, got away from Dewalt, Makita and Milwaukee. As a DIY homeowner I have found their tools to be reasonably priced and durable. Their Table saw is awesome, impact drill, sawzall, circular saw miter saw, have gotten praise from my friends who actually do carpentry for a living. Just my honest opinion as a DIY homeowner.
Glad to have a honest opinion here. Thanks a lot for that mate 😊
Amazing job! Call me a noob if you must, but I was the most impressed by the knob. That was a work of art!
Thanks a lot and glad you enjoyed 😊
I didn't knew that plastic parts can be sandblasted. Great restoration.
Thanks a lot and glad you enjoyed 😊
This could have been twice as long and I still would’ve watched it . Amazing craftsmanship
Thank you very much Matt 😊
Im so glad i get to hear the impact driver at the end of the screw 😍
Glad you liked it , I will include more sounds like that in my next videos 😊

Wow one of the best restorers on KZhead, if not “the” best. Beautiful restoration.
Thanks a lot Josh 😊 glad to hear these kind words ! Cheers !
My dad has owned a couple of Skil saws over the years. His first one he bought in the mid 80s. It lasted until 2003, and he bought a new one then. Still has the one from 2003 to this day. As always, you do a magnificent job. Good luck to whoever wins this saw.
Thanks a lot Mark 😊 you can subscribe there , maybe you will win that , it could be a nice present for your dad . Cheers and stay safe mate
Nothing like building up your skill levels than working on something you're not familiar with!
True ! It wasn’t so difficult after I made the whole job but at first watch , was so uncomfortable for me to start 😬
Awesome work. The knobs you made look like the have been always there. Great.
Thanks a lot mate 😊 glad you liked it 👍
Missed you. Looks great. That is when Skill made tools. Glad you are doing better. Thank You.
Thanks a lot and glad you enjoyed 😊
Such a wonderful restoration. I particularly like the knob! Thank you for this video! You can be proud!
Thank you very much Saskia and glad you enjoyed 😊
I like your idea of restoring an arbor press and hope you do so soon. It will be fun to see the knife you make from the old saw blade, as well. Your videos inspire me to make my restoration projects the best they can possibly be. Thank you so much.
Glad to hear that and thanks for your lovely words 😊 cheers and stay safe
That was awesome. You said you don't work on electrical stuff but you seemed perfectly capable. The plastic parts restoration, especially, was extraordinary. Very well done.
Thanks a lot and glad you enjoyed so much 😊
Awesome job as usual! Love that they came to you to restore it! Love your channel!!
Thank you very much Bill 😊
I loved watching you make the knob, beautiful job on the whole saw!
Thank you very much Connie 😊
1st class restoration, well done.

AND THAT'S IT'S CALLED RESTORATION it's really fascinating and fantastic job. You made it a new brand new I like this restoration very much it's good to watch this kind of restoration feel like watching vedios like this 👍100 out 100 keep it up bro thanks God bless your hard work
Thanks a lot and glad you enjoyed so much 😊
Excellent restoration! You should have no worries with electrical equipment with the care you take.
Still an obscure way for me to work with electronic items but from time to time I can try 😬
This is like the producers of 'Jaws' inviting you to restore the shark. What an honor!
Thanks a lot mate 😊
Răbdarea ta este admirabilă.
Mersi frumos 😊
This restoration was a thing of beauty!
Thanks a lot Bruce 😊
Love to see it. Looking forward to the end product!
Hope you liked it 😊
@@CoolAgainRestoration sure did, you keep on surprising me!🤗
Beautiful work, as always! my favourite parts are the coatings but the knobs were really impressive! (all of it was!)
Thanks a lot and glad you enjoyed 😊
Glad that you’re back! Great restoration!
Thanks a lot Sam 😊 glad you liked it
Bine ai revenit David, mi-era dor să văd un nou episod de la tine. Nici nu mai are rost să spun cât de mult mi-a plăcut, ce-i al tău e pus deoparte !!!
Te salut ! Mersi fain ptr susținere 🙏 seara buna !
What a beautiful restoration of the Skil saw🎉🎉🎉
Thank you very much Tom 😊👍
As I have come to expected; you sir, delivered an amazing final result with your “SKIL” Happy Birthday SKIL 🎉
Thanks a lot and glad you enjoyed 😊
Absolutely fantastic restoration! I'd wager it's better than new! How great that they asked you too, must have felt wonderful knowing they trusted you enough to approach you. I'd love to see it in person, sadly getting to Germany is much more difficult thanks to Brexit, so I'll just have to admire it from afar! I look forward to seeing what knife you make out of that old blade though, should be very interesting!
Thanks a lot for these kind words 🙏cheers
What a honor !! I think you did AWESOME !! It looks fantastic so fresh and new and it works....it works👍👍 !! Stand tall and proud it looks wonderful great work !!!👍👍
Thanks a lot man and what is most important … it works , never expected 😅
cant get that quality anymore. Engineers-designers were incredible back then.
True 😊
Incredible work, they definitely chose the right person for this job! Btw: yes you should restore an arbor press, believe me it’s totally worth it 😄
Already bought one 😎 probably this year will be the restoration video 👍 thanks a lot mate
