Hello everyone,

In this video I am restoring very rusted rakes that I found at the construction site during a house renovation.
My mother’s birthday was coming up and I wanted to say thank you for everything she ever did for me. So I decided to make her a very special gift.
I wanted to create the most extraordinary garden rakes for the most extraordinary mother.

First I removed the rust on the old antique pieces. This time I used electrolysis but also rust remover to test the different effects in a comparison. In conclusion I will stick to the method of electrolysis for rust removal.
Afterwards I had to replace a part of one of the two rakes.
After everything was polished, I could turn my attention to the wooden handles. Both wooden handles had to be completely rebuilt, as they were no longer existing. However, this also gave me the opportunity to develop freely. I first laminated douglas fir and mahogany to get a flexible but also robust base for the handle.
For ergonomic work, I provided both handles with palm rests made of mahogany. Inspiration for this came from my friend at “Cool Again Restoration”.
Finally, I was able to form them with a draw knife and finely sand the handles up to 500 grit.
After the assembly I mounted aluminum guards and hid them under a piece nice brown leather. As a result i have two wonderful garden tools for my mother.

As a beer test I have tested this time a “Pfungstädter Braumeister Pils” that was sent to me by Daniel R. one of my partons. But he has also made me another most amazing gift with a new costom glass for beer testing. How the glass looks? See for yourself in the video.

I hope you have once again fun with the restoration video.

  1. Prost! Die werkzeuge selbst sind nicht übel restauriert. Die stiele jedoch mach nächstes mal aus Pappe mit cnc Maschinen (Sarkasmus off).

  2. Grüss Gott, Herr Doktor Beer! Was für ein tolles Geburtstagsgeschenk für deine Mutter, mit Liebe und viele Stunden geduldiger Arbeit gemacht. Also gebe ich dir Daumen hoch.

  3. This was great- loved the artistic flare (wood combinations, leather, half polish on ends). Amazed that anyone could freehand the curves of that handle,! -wonder if it was based old photos?

  4. This is the best and the most beautiful thing you have done among all your videos. It looks like you made them for your mother. I loved them.

  5. If anyone accuses you of overkill, just look them in the eye and tell them you have superior gardening tools to
    them.

  6. Wonderful! I wish I could do similar – I made a large holder for drill bits for my dad for Christmas, and he loved it. But for my mom, I think I will need to buy her a new set of high-quality tools. She's a bit older, and so light weight will be very important – I'm hoping that fiberglass handles and modern-engineered metal parts can give the functionality at reduced weight.

    And, I will probably need to make a larger drill bit holder for my dad. I cleaned his workbench for him the next year, and discovered that he has three times as many drill bits as he previously thought. I can send a picture of the holder to you, as it's clearly high-quality, custom, and made entirely of brass and aluminum, but it only requires a drill press and circular saw to make; you're welcome to make a similar or better one and include it on your channel.
