Once upon a time I invited Dr. Beer to grab a cold one, and he came by with two mostly identical metal shears in pretty bad condition. He asked me to do a competition and who am I to say 'no'?

So I took this metal shear apart, cleaned off the dirt from the past 300 years and gave it a good clean. Some of the old grease just came off by scraping. After that i put every part in my sandblasting cabinet and did a lot of metal works afterwards: filing, shaping, sanding, and so on. When the metal work was done, I painted the parts in "RAL 5007 Brilliantblau". The three base parts werent shown in the video, I didnt want the video to be too long.

The blades were reshaped with a belt grinder, i didnt focus on a perfect look, but on a good cutting edge. While sanding, I cooled down the blades in oil to keep the hardness.

I replaced every screw with a new one, every new screw was cut in length to fit perfectly. The big screw was deepcleaned with sandblasting and wire brushing.

The final test shows, that this shear works perfectly again.

I hope you have fun with the video! If you have any questions on the used tools, materials or the processes, write it in the comment section - i´ll try to answer as soon as possible!
