Machete Restoration - Knife Transformation [Ebony Brass Handle]
Anyone who likes extremely rusty, old things will love this restoration. More precisely, it is more of a transformation from a machete to a knife. I had to do a lot of work on the lathe, grinding, drilling, tapping, electrolyzing, hardening and a lot more... Since the original handle of this antique machete was no longer there at all, I had to make a new one out of ebony with brass caps. The pitting caused a lot of damage to the machete, so the knife ended up looking old and new somehow! Stay tuned and have fun watching!
▶ What did I do?! ◀
Use a needle scaler to remove the crust of rust, that was really a lot of rust. This is then removed more deeply with electrolysis. Since the rust was already far too advanced, I could no longer save the machete in its original form and converted it into a knife. It gets its contour on the belt sander and the cutting edge is processed. During hardening, the knife is heated to 800 °C and quenched in preheated oil. The metal must then be tempered three times for one hour in an oven at 200°C. Since the old handle no longer exists, I remade it from ebony and brass caps; I did everything with the lathe and milling machine. Finally everything was assembled and the cutting edge was sharpened; Now nothing stood in the way of testing the knife.
▶ Good to know ◀
I used the following tools: needle scaler, water, glass container, salt, laboratory power supply, scriber, angle grinder, belt grinder, pen, caliper, hardening oven, immersion heater, thermometer, blacksmith tongs, oil, spatula, wire brush, oven, center punch, cordless screwdriver, drill, thread cutter, Cold bluing, abrasive fleece, lathe, turning chisel, boring bar, milling cutter, milling machine, two-component glue, file, sandpaper, grinding stone

Seeing these relics come back to life is absolutely satisfying to see
🥰🤩🐢
Dude! That knife turned out awesome! And i love the way the screw fit in flush in the cap. Great job! And I appreciate that the sharpness test was on a grape and not a piece of paper.
Nice to be able to share a grape with 30 people 🙂

I do i do 🖐
1:42 Wait, you can't do that!! 🤣
🤣🤣🐢
Prost 😹😹😹
This may be the prettiest thing I've seen you restore/make. WELL DONE!!!
I can't believe I'm just in time to see this within 24 hours, it's so awesome
Isso é uma obra de arte parabéns
So what do you do with the blades?
Highlight of my day! :D

1:46 Dobrou chuť.😄 2:26 výroba nového nože. 4:06 želvička hlídá teplotu. 17:05 krásná obnova. Pěkně ostrý nůž. Dobrá práce.👍 Pavel 🇨🇿
I’ve tried watching several other similar channels to scratch the itch but none of them can match the odd charm of Forgotten Shine. I always come back.
Thank you very much 🤪🤭🐢
I love the captions! I love reading about what you’re actually doing. So happy to get another video. ❤
Thank you so much! 🐢
Outstanding transformation!!!!! You made an heirloom that looks great and you saved a great blade from the scrap heap. Well done sir!!
Thanks! 🐢
handle is far more better than knife...
Good job, looks awesome. I love doing refurbishes myself.
Another excellent piece of work!
Needle scalerrrrrr 😍😍😍😍
🤣👍🐢
Glad to see Mr Turtle is back in swimming shape
right out the gate with the needle scaler let's goooo
the colour and texture of the blade makes it look really cool
What a work of art, and that handle, wow! You are super talented 👍🙏👏
Thank you! 🐢
A fine piece of a horror knife. Jason were proud to own that. 🧟♂️🔪
😳😲😱🐢
1:42 Mmmm. Good soup.
🤣🤣🐢
3:29 Very cool holder for sharpening on the belt grinder, you can really work on any knife.
Immer interessant zuzuschauen! Es fehlt nur noch der Block, in den alle von Dir restaurierten Messer eingesetzt werden können...😏👋ps frohe Ostern 🕊🐣
Vielen Dank! Eigentlich eine gute Idee, so einen Block zu bauen... 🤔🐢
Handle's cool! So is that sharp blade!
I'm completely ignorant to your profession and I admittedly have no idea how electrolysis removes rust…but wouldn't sandblasting remove the rust faster and easier? Genuinely asking.
was that an acid dip it was in? didn't see what it said the liquid was
It wasn't a machete it was a bill hook for hedge cutting.
I think it cojld have looked better if welding the rusty areas of the blade and making it fully smooth
Where does bro get the rusty machetes and knives and stuff
This is so satisfying This video is basically: What is he doing? Aaaaa What he is doing? Aaaaah ....
I have missed your content. Thank you and have a good holiday weekend
A recommendation. Round handles make edge alignment more difficult, and affect how well something can cut. I’d recommend rectangular or oval handles instead.
Prima gearbeitet, so macht man aus uralt feine Messer.👍👍👍
Das stimmt 👍 Danke! 🐢
Лучше чем с завода Руки - голд
Hello mister beautiful knife Beautiful restoration good job well done
I ❤ it is not a problem to miniforce x
What a fantastic job, a new knife from old steel, which seems to be the best. Really satisfying to watch. Best wishes mate 😊
Thanks! 🐢
Спасибо за вашу работу и профессионализм)) P.S. очень интересная технология закалки металла в подогретом масле....
Penso que o cabo deveria ser rústico igual à lâmina da faca.
Not sure if the hardening took if you drilled and tapped that easy
멋지다 좋은영상
Καλησπέρα φίλε μου. Μπορούμε να μαυρίσουμε ένα γυαλιστερό μαχαίρι με ηλεκτρόλυση και πώς;
Νομίζω ότι έχω ξαναδεί κάτι τέτοιο... πρέπει να συνδέσεις τους πόλους σε αντίθετες κατευθύνσεις... αλλά δεν το έχω δοκιμάσει ποτέ. 🐢
@@ForgottenShineRestoration Σ'ευχαριστώ πολύ.
tenho alguns pra reformar
That needle scaler is forbidden itching tool.
O melhor que alegria um vídeo seu
Muito obrigado! 😲😳🥰🐢
Very nicely done.
The perfect conductivity for electrolysis should be 3000us (Micro Siemens) above your mains cold water supply your using
love the videos bro
Restaurada faca 🔪😉
The turtle 😭❤️4:06
Turtle told me he was offended not getting air time. 🐢
It looks great and you did a wonderful job restoring it as well!!!! I enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up
Thank you very much! 🐢❤
nice
Next time start with old brake roters
good!!🎉🎉
Billhook not a machete
Неймовірна робота,вражаюче,творчий підхід не має меж!!!Особлива подяка черепашці,за контроль якості🐢😊!
Nice! Skillfully done
Thanks! 🐢
A round handle???

That shot of the rust scum at 1:25 reminds me of The Bog Of Eternal Stench
Smellllll baddddddddd
カメのブラシがとても可愛い😍🐢

4:06 defuq is that
அண்ணா ஏன் இவ்வளவு கஸ்ட படுரிங்க 599 ரூபாய் சூப்பர் அருவா வாங்கிக்க வேண்டியது தானே
rumit sekali
4:04 WHAT IS THAT ITS SCARING ME😭
Looks like a billhook rather than a machete.
nice Video 😎
Thank you! 🐢
Эбеновая латунь . 😂 😂 😂
Das ist keine Machete, das ist eine "Hippe" (oder in der Schweiz "Gertel") - oder besser: es war eine... Zum Glück nur ein günstiges Gebrauchswerkzeug (um nicht zu sagen "Verschleissteil"), kein teures Werkzeug - und somit ist auch die Transformation zur "Kurzmachete" kein Problem. Besonders schnitthaltig wird das schöne Messer allerdings nicht sein; Gertel und Hippen sind nicht sehr hart (darum so ballig geschliffen) und bestenfalls aus 440er oder Federstahl.
is no one going to talk about how he ate rusty water
🤷♀️🤣🐢
Great Restoration looks really nice
Thank you! 🐢
un bel manico x uno schifo di lama
Beautiful restoration job you did transforming a rusty machete into a kitchen knife. Even the pitted surface looks better and gives the knife a unique look. It also cuts cleanly. Excellent work.
Thank you very much! 🐢
so, what's the taste of that rust juice, man?
It tastes like iron 🤔🐢
🐢
That's a billhook
And he takes the tip off alright I'm not watching this
This isn't a restored machete
No, it's so much more.
Great and beautiful handle but the knife is really ugly.
Idk i kinda like it
The best👍💯....... Second..
HATE the pitting
Great work dude, looks awsome 👏👏
Thanks! 🐢
