I need when I restore a knife We're gonna go over there to the other workshop and we're gonna look at all the tools I'll tell you how much it costs and it's very cheap guys to get into the little hobby That I love so much to take knives apart clean them put them back together. I love it I really do and we also guys gonna look at tonight's Knives for the auction. We're gonna go over the Bonifay Florida knife hall. So anyway guys Thank y'all so much for tuning in today, and I hope you enjoy the video Okay, guys probably the most important tools that I have in this little Five essential but it's it's a few more than five. I want to just go ahead and tell you Anyway, this right here the 1 by 30 sand belt. That's probably one I use the most between these two that's a 3 inch bench grinder and that is the Desktop Sander 1 by 30 belt and it'll do most anything you need it to do handles blades All kinds of stuff sharpening. I love it. I really do and you again you can buy these two at Harbor Freight that's where I bought mine and I've been using this thing for probably more than five years now and This one here. I've been using about the same time as it as this one here, but I use Different type of wheels. This is a polishing Cloth wheel here and this is like a more of a fiber wheel, but you can polish with it too. And this is the Actual fiber wheel that cleans Surface rust and grime off of knives and inside the knife. I use it a lot I really do I have some new ones, but I think they're in the house still they just Can't come in. I haven't brought them out to the shop yet, but I've been using this to actual polish The bolsters and it doesn't it does a better job than that one there that one does a good job but this one does a Great job And then of course the polishing compound again, I bought it by that at Harbor Freight. It does a great job but guys this right here is these two are the The stars of the show here. I actually have three stars of the show I'm sorry, but these two are very essential to get into the hobby of knife restoration and this one here, I think The price will be right here, but I think it's like 59 bucks or 69 bucks and this one here I think it's 49 bucks, but the price will be right here Harbor Freight. You can't go wrong with these two I actually have a brand new one in the box Waiting to go as soon as this one tears. I'm fitting to buy me one to have it on standby as well but the only thing about this I've noticed guys when it's like cloudy and rainy and It creates static and that belt will throw off an arc Like that far I'm telling you it will shock your hand and you can even feel it through the knife if you're holding the pins or the springs You just got to be careful because that causes static Electricity and I've noticed that when it's cloudy the clouds are low It's just I guess a lot of humidity in there. I don't know but They're met barometric pressure Really don't know but I've noticed it on cloudy days and rainy days That's when it'll do it the most so but it will shock you you got to be careful Now this one here guys is essential to this is my vice. It's actually a craftsman but uh I've had James from warrior works He gave me a little anvil, but I cannot get used to that thing. It's so narrow and It ain't stable enough I just did not learn on that. I'm very comfortable with this. I learned on it because it's You can use it so many ways. It's like an anvil here You can hold things like your third hand guys, and I love it. I really do it I don't think I'll ever get away from using my vice, but it's an old craftsman And I picked this up at a state sale, but you can rotate it in any direction you need to but That right there. It's got that flat part. I use that a lot and I use the grips a lot and I like to Put a cloth up here make it thick and that's where I do my pins at I will lay the knife up there And I'll do the all three pins up here. I'll punch them out but then you got the Drill press guys. I use that from time. I don't use that a whole lot. You really don't need that It's it's nice to have though. I Really is good for handles and stuff like that. That's what I mainly use that for sometimes I have to drill out a pin, but most of the time I can Punch them out, but these three right here are the keys Good vice That's your third hand And then you got your one by thirty Desktop sander. I love it. Then you got your three inch bench grinder and you can use different wheels on there Along with the polishing compound now, I don't use polishing compound with the fiber wheel But now when you're using these I'm glad I've come back over here when you're using these now You got to dip it in water here. I have a water cup right there that I'll fill it up, but actually the heat out here Evaporates the water a lot, but when you're using when you're sanding your Blades and stuff like that your bolsters Like shining up Bolsters is good to dip them back and dip it into the water not let them get too hot Don't let it get it over heated. So that's a key element out here, too And guys coming on over here a good ball-peen hammer. I think this is a four ounce It ain't real big but but I like to use this size here It's got just enough weight and I got I didn't see a weight on here, but I think That says bond. I don't know where But this is a good little That might be the weight right there or something. I This is the perfect size ball-peen Hammer, I love it. I really do and then guys another thing you need is punches Once you cut the pins to take the knife. Well, this is what I use to cut the pins with mainly As long as it's nickel silver brass it'll cut it, but if it gets stainless steel, they're hard to cut with this I'll show you what I use to cut stainless steel pins, but this is what I use guys to actually put between the bolster and the blade when I'm peening the Around the blade so because if you just peen it the blades gonna get too tight It won't snap but this what I always say creates a safe space I put it down in between the bolster and the blade peen peen the main or peen the pin around the blade and This always allows it to have that extra just enough room for it to snap But this right here too guys, this is like a I guess you call it an eyeglass Little screwdriver. I don't know what you call these but but you can find them at most hardware stores but I like to use these to clean out the blade chamber to clean around the the I guess the foot of the Blade around the tang and everything where it connects with the spring I like to clean that with these screwdrivers here They come in different sizes as you see here. I always buy set See, that's the big boy there I don't really use that that one that much but that's the perfect size to get in them little cracks where the wire brush can't reach And just scratch it out But the pins are really once you cut I Once you cut the pins I use these punches to punch out the cut pins These are always good to have I mainly use that one there, but if I need some heavy punch I use This one here, but what I used to cut stainless steel pins guys. I actually made this This is a craftsman chisel, but I narrowed that down real thin But it's a hard steel and sometimes I had to re sharpen it, but I made it thin enough where it will go down between the Liner and the actual spring to cut the pin and I've called this the lb7 buster because On the front of the lb7. That's the Schrade lock back. I'll show you one here in a minute, but it has a stainless steel Pin that's real big. It's hard to cut see here's one on a This is lb7. It's got a broke tip, but you see that pin That's nothing but stainless steel right there and them things are hard to cut And that's why I come up with this Lb7 Buster here, and it will cut that pin. No problem. No problem at all. I Love this thing Then guys always use some type of super glue to help repair the bones to help put Handle scales back on to the the liner It works good. It cures instantly and it really is really helpful with repairing bone like broken pieces of bone like I can graft a piece of bone to where it's like if a piece is Broke off is that's good to use to actually glue the bone up and then Fill that crack with that in some bone dust what I like to call it, but also use the epoxy 30-minute slow cure, but if you can find out it pops knife supply But this is the resin and this is the hardener here You just mix the equal amounts together stir it real good and you got yourself an awesome bond But that's these right here and guys the Vise I cannot stress enough between the vise the 1 by 30 Desktop sander and the 3 inch bench grinder how important these three are to make everything work Then you got your little hand tools to complete the process But then once I get everything together guys, I like to use Rim oil rim rim oil to me is the best it penetrates good. It's thin it cleans It's for corrosion wear and rust. I mean it does a fantastic job and that's why I love to use rim oil on knives and I Haven't found anything that works no better any Better I should say But once it gets clean I'll use a controlled I Use a controlled way of putting the ballast all just a little bit around the blades once it's clean, but for cleaning You can't get no better than that right there you really can't but then once I clean it and and wipe it down real good and after I Lube it up and make sure it's clean and make sure it ain't oily no more What I like to use first is the never dull because it has this wad here like a cotton wad I don't know what you call it. But anyway, I like to use that But this right here guys is just some good stuff I've used it for years and years and never dull has never failed me It cleans it really good mainly because of this wad here I love it. And then once I get it cleaned up and and pretty well good and shiny I like to hit it with this Flitz here Metal plastic and fiberglass polish. It does bone real good too. It polishes up bone This to me cleans better mainly because of the wad but this right here shines better I Just love the combination of the two But there it is guys my essential gear. I might be using a little bit more than five but you can count one two three and then four and You can just group this together five But then you need your glue as well, too. So don't forget the lb7 Buster right here, but that's my essential gear guys To restore knives. It don't cost that much to get into the hobby at all. But the main thing you can't do is say There's you can read all about how to do it if you want to but you ain't gonna never learn until you start OJT on-the-job training is the best Way to learn and and taking a knife apart cut cutting the pins Putting it all back together again It ain't gonna be perfect to start with but you always learn stuff Every time you do it you learn stuff every time I do it now. I learn stuff It's just it's just a learning process like anything in life. It takes you have to go through the process to get where you want to go and It all depends on when you quit that process of how good you are But if you keep using that process over and over again, you're gonna learn stuff that works learn stuff that won't work Eventually, you'll get pretty good at it and start getting fun because you can do Frankenstein knives and this is this it's just endless on how you can use these tools on Restoring knives. It don't take a whole lot of money at all. I say just say 50 a piece That's a hundred bucks. I picked this up at a state sale. I think it was a like a little over a hundred I think I gave a hundred and twenty bucks for it 110 because this is an old Craftsman a great little vise but then this here I think this is 79 or 89. Nah, it's not that much to get drill press But but again just throw this out if you just want to cut the knives don't do handles But I would get this if you want to do handles because it's I have to use it sometimes for it Especially when you creating the holes to put around the pins and the handle scales you need a drill press but uh This stuff ain't expensive at all guys. I mainly pick my stuff up at the state sales. I always look for punches and ball-peen hammers chisels and The superglue you can buy that for like I think at Harbor Freight you can buy That for like less than a three pack for less than five bucks and this right here wasn't that much it pops And this here maybe ten bucks that there at Walmart's by eight bucks This is about nine bucks, believe it or not. So it ain't that expensive to get into is what I'm saying guys But anyway, that's my take on what you need my essentials for restoring knives Hey guys, we're just gonna give you a quick sneak peek of what's tonight in tonight's auction this right here is a harvest orange Bone Rogers dig mini trapper Then you got five of these USA knives here.
