During the restoration of the old rusty machete, I also had to make a transformation, so that a machete became a bunka. The special thing about the restoration was that I will protect the new knife from new rust with the help of "Rust Bluing". That is, I use rust to protect the bunka from rust, you can also easily replicate the process. Also, when I remodeled the old machete, I used a needle scaler, sandblasted parts to remove rust, used electrolysis to remove rust, made a new handle out of ebony and bubinga, and more. Please also note that this video is not only to quickly show someone how something works, but also to relax and escape from everyday life! ------------------------------------------------------------ ▶ What did I do ?! ◀ The rusty machete was in very poor condition, so I had to rebuild it. After derusting with the needle deruster and with the help of electrolysis, the full extent of the rust became clear, so I had to convert the machete into a bunka knife. To match, I chose a wooden handle made of ebony and bubinga, the shape of which is also based on a bunka. The blade is now protected from future rust by a process called "Rust Bluing". This involves using hydrogen peroxide, vinegar and salt to create a layer of red rust. The blade is then placed in boiling distilled water, which turns the red rust into black rust, which now protects the knife from rust. During the restoration, I had to refrain from removing the pitting, because otherwise nothing would have remained of the knife. ------------------------------------------------------------ ▶ Good to know ◀ I used the following tools: Needle scaler, laboratory power supply, wire, wood, alligator clips, wire brush, cordless screwdriver, wire attachment, pen, angle grinder, belt grinder, files, grinding jig, saw, marking pen, caliper, immersion heater, hardening furnace, oil, grill thermometer, oven, forging pliers, disc sander, lathe, drill, ruler, pliers, brush, wood glue, screw clamps, sandpaper, compressor, blasting cabinet, blasting material corundum, distilled water, hydrogen peroxide, salt, vinegar, bowls, cotton swabs, glue, linseed oil varnish ------------------------------------------------------------ ▶ Special thanks to my channel members! ◀ - ------------------------------------------------------------ ▶ Do you want to support me? ◀ Do you want to become a channel member?
