This is a real giveaway, but you need to visit the link above, not some telagram or whatsapp number.

A bit like Boosted GT from Street Outlaws and bald McConaughey at some angles. Love your work to say the least, even this new one! The time and attention to all the arduous details most wouldn't think twice about skipping out on, is so great to see! Do you have a video about the cost of just wood and epoxy?? Or a ballpark figure if I wanted to make a 2'x4' coffee table top? Thanks for sharing.

And DarkMatter 2525

Your next project is... your going to naturalize a fish!

Not local... nope! I live in Saint Johns, which is North Portland. I think you look a bit like Briggs. His channel is World according to Briggs. He lives somewhere on the other side of you from me.

Bronce statue

Well done 47, looks like you successfully restored a Japanese saw, with minimal casualties.

Dude he could totally be Agent 47 😯

This is the one. Lol

@Eto Hige Gamer Culture or Johnny Sins

@cheatafastgaming jmk That's exactly what I was thinking lmao

It is amusing when IamCrusty kills everyone though...

Jhonny Sins, this is an awesome project. From the lasers and the sharpening and that pin is just a great touch! Also, not being afraid to change everything in the 11th hour, earns you big points. You have to trust your own madness! Yes, do post more 'odd' projects like this, they are a great addition to the already great content you have here. Big fan, btw.. this is awesome stuff! Keep it up!

😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤. Spot on!!!

Hey Saitama, loved the video! Restorations are always fun to both do and watch! Paul Sellers also has some great info about sharpening saws.

goku still slams

I don't thing he caught the reference or else he'd given you a little heart right away!!! Great comment!

I really enjoyed this video of you restoring the Japanese saw. I enjoy most all of your videos and would definitely like to see more like this. Thank you for everything. Aloha!

It's fake, he rusted it himself

@crays crabitch its still cool to watch

​@crays crabitch, it's not out of the range of possibilities.

The gremlins reference was hilarious. Acrylic floor wax, used in VCT tile upkeep has some very interesting gloss effects when used on wood. Can do multiple coats for different results.

I'm pretty sure I could watch/listen to you make or do any sort of making/restoring work. I always learn something from your content!

Hey Johnny Sins, loved the vid. Wouldn't mind seeing some more off-brand stuff like this, really enjoying the variety.

Yep, exactly what I was gonna say :D

Damnit I was too late...enjoy your prize lol

I definitely don't know who that is. But, Cam definitely looks like my wife's doctor/mechanic/pizza delivery guy.

@M D your wife probably knows him

@Veganpotter Thevegan I asked but she got all defensive. She was probably just irritable bc she pulled a muscle earlier. I heard the back massager going for like 30 minutes.

I know this was done a couple of months ago, BUT this was awesome to watch something old be transformed back into what it was. Hope you do do more of these. Not only that i am a sucker for Japanese tools.

Tool restoration is cool, whether it's an old machine tool or a hand tool. Keep doing what you love doing, it's always going to make the best videos.

Yes. Doing tool stories every once in awhile is fine. Learning about tools that will improve your productivity is a great help.i especially like the laser rust removal tool.

Great video, enjoy the change of pace with the restoration. Keep up the great work!

I REALLY LIKE the restoration videos keep it up :)

This was a nice change of scenery. I think one restoration video for every 2 or 3 furniture videos would be really nice!

Thanks Bryson!

Agreed 👍

YES YES!

The change of scenery definitely doesn't hurt.

I agree completely!

Also, I really liked this venture. Your personality and your approach to restoration is different to the usual restoration channels - refreshing.

As always, amazing video! I like this departure from the norm and encourage you to keep branching out and trying new things. We're all on this journey here with you!

i love this video, love seeing you apply your process to other projects. please keep it up

This is honestly one of your coolest videos! I'd love to see more tools, and it'd be awesome to see you repair some antique black powder firearms!

Perfect type of content for what you have been doing so far! I learned a lot just from this video. Thanks!

I LOVE videos like this! Also, you remind me of Matthew McConaughey.

hey Gabe

That’s what I thought - even the voice.

Love tool restorations, keep em coming!

I really enjoyed this video. Especially since i watch other restoration channels, it's nice to see you doing it. Your work is always nice and encouraging. Just learned you're in the portland area as well. Thanks for making the content that you want to make. Keeps it much more real and unique

Loved this video, mate. Found the tool restoration/upgrade process very interesting. Production was great - as always. Variety is the spice of life, as they say! 😉

I love these videos. Sometimes they are mesmerising, sometimes they are soothing, sometimes fascinating. I love to see how creative you can be whether making tables or refurbishing a saw. I admire anyone who is creative and skilled.

Loved the video. A pleasant variation of common themes. I am in Alaska and appreciate old things and the wonderful stories they thrive in. Some are obvious and others are left to the imagination. Loved the saw!

Wow Cam, you’re like the Beatles of woodworking videos, great stuff!

(hehehe)

Nice…

Ouch!

That's an insult to the Beatles.

😂😂 well played

Honestly, I love watching ANYTHING being made or restored. This was awesome.

I love process videos of all forms - new to the channel and I love what I see! Keep up the amazing work.

Loved the restauration videos. Yes you can, and I would love to watch more and more

Love the video. I always feel like learning something new. Keep making content in the way you are passionate about. Results never betray the hardwork.

I love that you were done with a handle, hated it, then redid it. That’s one of the most difficult things to realize. Fantastic work

Ya, we lie to ourselves a lot

I also loved that you re did it, good job 👍

14:12 Believe it or not, this was my most favorite part of the video. "I don't like all of it"

@Blacktail Studio :: great spalted handle but for another tool ..or utensil …js

Hey Andrew Rea, love this type of videos, keep on making these from time to time.

This is my first video of yours that I watched and it makes me subscribe. As a YouTuber myself - I strongly appreciated the amount of work that you put into making this video. Great job!

I really like this video. I used to do similar things but now, at 75, I'm reduced to watching others do this. Keep doing this restoration stuff. You do it well.

Great video. There are way to many rusted hand tools out there. Great restoration. There was a time before power tools. The old tools should be honoured. Very well done.

Love this video, would totally watch more like this! Especially if you enjoy making them.

Lex Luthor, I've been subbed for a while now, and probably ended up finding your channel because of my interest in restoration channels, so I'm very happy to watch you restore tools whenever the fancy takes you.

just found your channel a few days ago but i'm absolutely hooked!! love the craftmanship you do here, gonna try and get in one of those giveaways!! lol, beautiful work!!

This is such a cool project!! Definitely more of this. And yes the second handle was way better. I think it was just the shape that didn’t fit at the first place

Loved the video, I’d happily watch more tool restorations, or anything

Restoration videos are fun! Keep it coming😎👍

Really loved this restoration. Keep em coming

Jason Statham, I love the video! I like the restoration, and I like the idea of changing things up every once in a while! Also I appreciate the fact that you could make something and then decide that you don't like it and throw it away. I think it takes a lot of guts, but it's good to be honest with ourselves!

I love your videos man and I loved seeing this one too! I like hearing your little back stories and the story of how you got the saw was hilarious. I think you should keep doing different things like this! I really like that about you. Not afraid to change it up. Keep it up brother!

This is super cool, loved this video. Hope to see more of this!

Living in a 60m2 apartment, so living vicariously through you, whatever you upload I will watch. loving the woodworking/restoration of tools videos. the tips are amazing.

I liked the video - it's always interesting to see how you respond to those "mistakes" or changes to the design and how you recover to make another beautiful piece.

Please make more of these videos, I really enjoyed this. Plus this is more in line with the woodwork I do.

Lol that Gremilins refrence almost went over my head for a min, but when I realized I burst out laughing. Much respect for choosing a different handle, I too probably would of switched after getting that far, just goes to show we all over think our creation process.

Me too xD

hahaha I only got it when he said don't use it after midnight- Well played! I was taking him so seriously!

Damn, me too, had me going for the longest time. I was like, meh, don't like the idea of going behind the old man's back. In my defense, it's been a VERY long time since I watched the film!

Glad I wasn't the only person that caught that lol

If you were one of ones like me that got this joke, we're old AF. lol

Loved this. More tool/knife/blade restorations! Well done sir.

My opinion from my experience: This was the first time I've seen any of your videos. I'm a fan of tools, especially old ones. I don't watch furniture making videos. You're reaching different audiences by doing different projects. Keep doing it! Keep doing what you like.

when you drilled a hole through the tang for that dragon pin at that point i was a little scared that it could give the steel weak spots where it would break more easily when used. but it seemed to work out fine. i really like that you decided to make a handle that looks more like the original btw great video. interesting tool.

I think it was pretty inspiring to see you remake the handle at the end. You knew you didn’t like it and you knew you could do better.

Hey Mike Tyson, great video and I loved the restoration. I think as long as you’re doing something you really enjoy and are interested in, it translates for us, the viewers.

I feel strongly that this video is very entertaining. You do what you like and probably your community will watch it. It's not that we watch your videos because we're all woodworkers. We watch your videos because they are entertaining, good craftsmanship and insanely satisfying.

I appreciate that

Agreed! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

@Blacktail Studio Thank you, Sir! Much love and appreciation from Germany! You are probably the most humble master craftsman in existence.

Add another agree to this sentiment. If you make it, they will come.

The saw after the restoration looks absolutely amazing. The first handle is a thing only a mother could love. So glad you re-made the original afterall!

I actually liked the first one better.

The handle might have been a bit longer though to easier accommodate two hands. Ripping wood with that saw is definitely two hand job.

This was great. I'd love to see more of these.

Your attention to detail and thorough work I'd watch any type of woodworking or tool restoration.

beautiful restoration and you are right about the handles the first looked like a cooking knife handle the second was perfect for a saw and the pin was a great accent .. loved the restoration videos

Do all types of projects with wood, you do fantastic work, and we love to see it

Mr. Clean, love this video, sometimes i lose motivation to woodwork but watching your videos always sparks it back up!!

Good work, 47, it's good to see that you actually care for your tools as well as what they make, and yes, laser rust removal is satisfying to watch, but I completely understand wanting to go back over it with the angle grinder.

this was so cool. love to see old tools and furniture restored.👍

So glad you decided to redo the handle, amazing restoration!

Loved the video. Please do more like this!

Great content. Loved it. More than the other ones... I love your videos but it's great to see new kind of content.

Honestly, I kind of forgot that it wasn't furniture because I was enjoying what you were doing. I think what makes your videos unique is your narration and style. This still felt 100% Blacktail Studio.

My feeling exactly. I go to this channel for style and tone and attention to detail and out-of-the-way information. He could be digging ditches or preparing sermons of flying 747s for all I care.

This is really cool, please do it again time to time.👍

More restorations like this please!

Loved the video great job would love to see more like this👍👍

Dear Riddick, I'm sorry I'm late to the game here, but I love your videos, especially your tips and attention to detail for finishing work.

Re: Enjoying the tedious sharpening - I cast jewelry as a hobby and learned that the polishing process (which is time-consuming and tedious like sharpening) is really calming for me. The constant positive feedback of watching the surface get better and better bit by bit is like an IV drip of dopamine for my ADHD brain.

hey walmart jason statham, i really loved this video and this style of restoration work. it’s relatable in a lot of ways because the trial and error nature of your restoration is a lot like mine which is super fun. keep up the great work!

That's one of the best burns I've read in a while. Kudos to you good sir

"Wal-Mart Jason Statham" I spit topo hard seltzer all over my cellphone

Wow, not even Kohls Statham?

@Blacktail Studio it’s a near thing, maybe like the back shelf of walmart, before it’s been all smacked around

Oh my, "walmart Jason Statham", that's harsh, funny AF, but harsh.

Bruce Willis, I thought this was awesome, loved the lazer cleaning and setting the teeth was really interesting, was so excited to see it worked at the end. would really like to see more videos like this

Love this would definitely love more stuff like this

Hey Joe Bastianich, I've seen pretty much all your videos but this is the first time commenting. Really enjoyed this video and wouldn't mine seeing more like this. Also excited to see your non woodworking video in the future. Also The Beatles are pretty good.

Great video and content. It's always good to try new things.

Variety of your videos is always a good eye catcher as long as you have your foundation locked in (still working on that myself...). I've watched plenty of your furniture videos and subscribed ages ago as I enjoy woodworking but just don't have the space for it myself. Seeing a thumbnail and title for something new jumped out on my feed so I had to watch it ;) Plus I like restoration (genuine, not those fake restoration) videos of old things. Happy to watch videos of you trialling new things for the channel and pointing out that you're not an expert as you learn.

As a person that loves restoration videos, it's awesome that you've decided to bring some of that here. Great video man. Thanks.

warning, this is a fake Blacktail account, don't let him scam you

I enjoyed this video. Throwing these different restorations in the mix of videos is awesome.

It was awesome, keep up the great content!

I loved the first handle, it looked cool and beautiful. But you are right that the second handle fit better with that Saw.

Actually, it was more than cool and please do it more often. amazing job.

I love your furniture videos, but this is a cool departure too. I watch restoration videos too, so I certainly don't mind seeing one here now and then.

If you're a maker, you're a maker. You make furniture. You make jigs. You make ... old tools look new again. Well, in this case, maybe not "new", but restored. Being a maker is about learning, and taking risks. Keep doing what you are doing. One can learn more about your attention to detail than they ever could from your technique. Edit: What a gnarly looking saw ... makes you really respect what the craftsmen in the days of yore had to go through, doesn't it?

I liked this video. You did something new. I also appreciate how we see all the change of plans and mistakes. Sometimes with a project you have an idea of what you want but as it goes along you change your mind. One thing I think I saw you learn is don't refinish the handle until the very end. 😂

I like seeing craftsmanship practiced so these videos are gold. I'm absolutely in love with the the chisels he uses. Look expensive, are cared for and are we'll maintained. They look beyond sharp. Regarding the handle produced... looks American not Japanese. It lacked the details they add.

This video is the first mention of dry ice blasting that I have heard of in over a decade. I honestly was kind of starting to think I might have dreamt it. a LONG time ago I watched something on the History channel about restoring really old book; they used dry ice blasting. They said that the tiny dry ice shards would sublimate on impact, breaking away dirt and grime without having enough energy to hurt the old paper and leather.

It was nice to see you being real with your audience on screen! I’m glad you hated that grip and made a new one! I enjoy this video

Good video. I enjoy seeing people trying things that are new to them not only the things they are comfortable with.

I am a composer and I love watching your videos when I feel stuck on a project. Seeing other creatives doing good work in other creative fields like woodworking is a breath of fresh air and often inspires me to keep going.

Great video. I love the fact that this old tool has been revived for the next generation. Well done Sir.

Really like your choice of handle. I’ve used cold bluing a lot over the years - good touch.

It is very interesting to see from time to time something else than furniture making. Finally it has everything to do with it because these were the roots. I love in general more to use hand tools than machine tools. I am fascinated by the passion of and for your work and that you really dig deep before you touch it!!!! 👍👍👍

That rust laser is really awesome. With the smoke coming up and the pattern it makes. It looks like some wizards casting a magical spell on it lol

If you had time traveled to today from even 200 years ago you would probably think that it's actually wizardry

Cool video, awesome to see you trying new stuff!

I love restoration videos! Whenever they strike your fancy I’m happy to see them.

Love the saw restoration and would like to see more

All for the tool stuff! I've always loved your videos but I'm not always in the mood for furniture, epoxy etc. so a little variety is very welcome! Cheers!

This was actually a cool departure from your usual videos. More please.
