Hello folks! Today I want to show you my new restoration project! I Found this vintage rare amazing tool at flea market! Imagine! At flea market! I was very surprised! Actually, it's great tool for cut off round bars, rods and wire with a single stroke of the lever. Blades are special alloy tool steel, properly tempered. On the tool was rusty, dirty and old oil. The name of this tool it's a ArmstrongBlum MFG CO Chicago Marvel 5 rod cutter. It's rare tool really. I'm very happy that I bought it! Well, first I removed rust and old paint. To remove the paint I used a special tool as well as a solvent. I don't used a rust remover liquid or electrolysis. After I cleaned up the tool and started priming the tool. Then I used a blue paint and applied two layers. I love old vintage tools and always collect and try to buy them if I find them at flea markets. For me it's first restoration in that theme. It was very interested and awesome. Finally, I got great tool! I hope you enjoy this restoration video.
