Dremel makes sanding drums and polishing wheels that are < 1" in diameter.

I did the exact same job on mine and it works a treat.

In our “ throw away” society it’s nice to see someone take the time and care to give this tool another life.

Brilliant Vid

Excellent video

Brilliant job, are they safe to use indoors? IE Carbon monoxide etc ?

Lovely job, you've inspired me to do my one!.

That is the single ugliest thing I have ever seen in my life.

Remember my dad had one in the old house he was a plumber years ago all ways wondered what it was like fired up now i know thanks

Pity you didn't really get it going in the end, did you ever find out what was wrong with it? It would be great to see a follow-up video where you get it to work properly. They burn really hot with a powerful blue flame when working properly, that was not even getting going in the video.

That's a beauty! Nice color.

When you open the box you can see a bunch of orbs flying around…

The best way to destroy an antique is with a wirebrush, wirewheel.

Curious, did you graduate from a Canadian engineering school?

Awesome work 👏

I think the main reason why people like these planes so much ie the way they cut is due to the thickness of their blades, in the old days things were made to a standard not a price!

I have one exactly equal that one, but I live in Brazil. Have no idea how it get here and from where. I found in an old workshop.

We have the exact same one on my fireplace, my 12yr old son and I have wanted to restore it for a while now. Thank you so much for this video!

Cheers mate. Now off to do mine. Fingers crossed

Painful

Very good! I'm from Americana SP Brasil.

What enamel did you use/recommend for the hood? It's a great shade of brown just like the original and must stand some heat. I'm currently fettling a Guardsman and he looks anything but at the moment 😂. Nice lamp tho

I already know that this isn't a Coleman kerosene lantern with viynl plastic mantels required to be on the heaters rods. This lantern was manufactured by a different company. It has a different brand name.

The author of this educational video said that this antique brass postage scale must have a 1919 patent date! I know that it's so easy to head down the path of uncertainty these days. 📅 ⚖️ 😳 🤣 👏 😆 🙄 ⚖️

I definitely do remind these things. It's the Whitmore woodworkers vice. Since I've seen one of these tools in a 1980 and 1981 Branciforte Jr. High School. I really shouldn't have taken wood shop at first. I should've taken human biology when I was in the 7th grade. 🏫 😳 🤣 😂 😄 😀 🏫

I still think about the previous desk lamps that I used to have.

Great video thank you. I have just found a lamp in its original box

Nice job!

Kia Ora & Good Afternoon from Auckland, New Zealand …great video bro …

Great video thanks for sharing.

Very fun to watch! Nicely done restoration. Thanks for showing us your process!

Much improved👍👍

Very good! I'm from Americana SP - Brasil.

The Brasso messed it up.

Beautiful restoration

Great job on the resto. Been using these a good long while. Over 30 years. As well as Taylors yacht stoves and heaters. The trick is to wait until the last possible moment to turn it on. When my igniter is just about to go out, I twist the valve, instant clean burn. The yellow flames will coat it in filth quicker than anything so just be patient and don't turn it on too soon. The same with the Taylors, a shot of meths, let it all burn, turn it on, instant blue flame. Happy burning!

You need a much bigger soldering iron like 100 to 150 watt and use an acid based flux, it will solder better. Acid based fluxs are liquid not paste and clean the surface better, work much better for this. Also a silver bearing solder flows really good here, Love the lantern great job,

To polish inside things like this, Get a length of hardwood dowel and cut a slot about an inch and a half (or 40mm ) down the centre. Then you can wrap wet and dry paper or soft cloth around the end and spin it with your electric drill! I have done this innumerable times over the years!! Lovely little bell restoration.

I have just bought one, same year as yours, but speculum/chrome finish which is a bit pitted, but a bit of solvol autosalve should tidy that up, hopefully not too much of the chrome is gone. The frame is quite rusty so will need a clean up and a bit of paint. The top/vent is chipped and rusty in places so will probably need renewing. I haven't got it yet so I am only going by the E-bay pictures, but I have every confidence I can return it to some of its former glory. Not sure how I will go about polishing the brass yet but I will think of something. Thanks for your video, I'm sure I will be referring to it quite frequently, but it doesn't look like rocket science so I am sure I will cope🤣🤣

Very nice indeed!😊

Amazing finished job, i have one of these, great inspiration to get it done 👍

Those are really nice scales. A fantastic restoration job 😊

I love to revamp the Tilley lamp I inherited from my father

Nice sympathetic restoration so it still looks it's age but isn't grimy! Thanks for sharing

Another antique ruined. It’s a store door bell. I have a couple.

great video, l have one in same conditon will try to do the same repair.

I have an antique bell for sale

very saitisfying... well done.

Really good job.👍

Definitely the wrong approach. Start with brass cleaning dip then use 0000 steel wool and then polishing compounds on felt wheels.
