Antique Rusty Hacksaw with Broken Blade - Restoration (1080p_50fps_H264-128kbit_AAC)

In this video i&restoring an antique broken hacksaw. At the end of 2019 I recieved an e-mail from a subscriber from Germany. He sent me pictures of an old broken hacksaw that he has found in his garage. I really like the look of it, especially the clamping lever. I&never seen a clamping mechanism like it on a hacksaw, they usually just have wingnuts to put tention on the blade. I also liked the fact that the blade was broken. He was so nice to send me this hacksaw for free and support the channel with it. Thank you very much. The restoration itself wasn&that complicated, as the function of this tool is very simple and it doesn&have a lot of parts. The most interesting part was definitely the restoration of the broken blade in my opinion. It&very common to weld broken saw blades, there are actually some bandsaws on the market that have an extra welding mechanism attached to it. As I can&TIG weld I had to use my MIG and the result turned out very well. After the sandblasting markings appeared on the main part. Because of them I couldn&sand all the pitting away, that&why I only choose to sand it very gently and keep the markings. It turned out very well after the bluing and gave the whole saw a nice antique touch. One of the two parts with the cones and the slots that hold the blade was really messed up. That&why I decided to replace them both and make new ones on the lathe and mill. I didn&want to use rivets again to hold the blade, as it&very unfortunate if you need to...
