In this video I restore a Cold Chisel that his been in my family for a very long time. I have been restoring old stuff for years and I love it but this has been a crazy learning experience about learning how to film the restorations. I thank you for your patience and support as I learn the craft of restoration filming. I started out with removing the loose surface rust using a wire brush with hopes I would be able to read the Stamped in label but alas time had done it's damage and the stamping was unreadable. I then used a rust removal technique called Electrolysis which was very effective and satisfying. I started to sand the chisel by hand but after far to much time it became apparent that more power was needed. Once the sanding was complete I squared off the edge and reshaped the bevel using a file. I then used a technique called cold bluing which helps to prevent future corrosion. I was not happy with the bluing agent and will be using different stuff in the future as the results were in my opinion sub par. You will see that there is still some pitting in the steel as It was quite deep and I did not want to remove any more material then necessary. Let me know if you would like to see more bluing videos or polishing videos in the future. Thank you for your love and support as we go on this restoration journey together.

This was my first time ever making a video. It is a little rough here and there but every time I film I get better. I gave this old beat up Game boy SP a new lease on life. It got a Brand new Shell, New buttons, and an upgrade I screen so the quality is amazingly better and brighter. It will be great now for years to come and my kids love it. Thank you for watching.

I restore this 1936 prewar lighter. It must have lived an interesting life to make it all the way to Canada from Austria in the 85 years its been in the world. It was hard to find any information on this lighter other then that it was made by the company IMCO in 1936 in the country of Austria. This would have been just when things were starting to get messy before the second world war and after their civil war. I didn't want to polish it to death and take away too much material so I removed the lighter scratches and brought back its shine. Thank you for watching!
