As You Were! Restorations

For those of us from the military, the "as you were" command could mean a couple of things...but here, it simply means getting a few old objects restored to their former glory (or at least close).
Old Vise Restoration
This vise was left in a garage after previous owners moved out -- not the greatest vise ever, but surely worth restoring.

Universal Meat Chopper (No 333) Restoration

This meat chopper belonged to my grandfather who would use it to make homemade Italian sausage for the holidays. The chopper and the sausage making responsibilities were handed down to my father, and many times growing up, I was at the crank when it was time to make this holiday treat. And are you sure you want to know how the sausage is made?? :^) For those of us from the military, the "as you...

excellent work, may I ask how you got the decal?
I purchased the vinyl decals from "DiamondCut Graphics USA" on Ebay and they worked great. Thanks!
Completely lost on most items used🤦🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
I used JB Weld and a wire mesh to patch the larger rust holes, Bondo Glazing for the pin holes, and Bondo Body Filler to smooth out any remaining rust spots. Then a bare metal primer used before paint. Let me know if there was something specific I missed.
4:00 and 10:00 what are these tools? Also where did you find the radio flyer decal?
Bench grinder with a wire wheel to clean the metal parts and Dremel with abrasive buffing wheel to clean the plastic wagon wheels (320 grit). I purchased the vinyl decals from "DiamondCut Graphics USA" on Ebay, as they are individual cut letters with no background colors, and they worked great. Thanks!
Beautiful work. (Thank you for not playing annoying music or talking through the whole thing.) Liked & Subscribed. 😊
Thank you and I agree...no music or talking (ever)!
Excellent job!
Many thanks @FansOfThePast -- I watched your great 3 part series restoring this same model fan and that got me interested in doing one myself! These are just lovely old appliances.
@asyouwererestorations8964 Awesome! I've been wanting to get into powder coating. I'll have to hit up for tips! Whenever I do, I'll give you a shout out! I love seeing these fans being saved from the dump! They were made to be repaired, not thrown away.
Tengo uno igual
So glad you have one, too! They are built to last for a very long time.
Great job! ❤
Very beautiful
A beautiful face lift. You help us see what is beneath the worn out table. Now it’s ready for a new life. Gorgeous.
Thanks, so much -- my daughter has claimed it and the night stand will be spending its new life in her new home! :^)
Beautiful work
That's the Thickest Oxalic Acid I've Ever seen Anyone Use but It worked Nicely! A Very Beautiful Restore! Love those Legs! The Only Thing I would have changed is the Hardware to Something More Modern in Brass or Gold or a Two Tone. Oh, the Possibilities! Thank You.😳😛😜
Thanks and yes, I might have over-done it a touch with that oxalic acid! ;^)
Very lovely!
That looks almost exactly like the Thomasville bedroom furniture I have, which my parents gave me. They bought it in 1975 from a family friend who was moving into assisted living...he had bought the set new in 1962. My end table, though, has three drawers, but it is 99.99% the same design, the only difference being the face of my drawers doesn't have the indentations, like yours has, and mine is walnut-colored.
It seems our dates align to the early 1960's, but I don't see any Thomasville markings on mine. Perhaps they licensed the design to other manufactures??
Thanks for your input. I have a Thomasville sideboard that I would never part with, and it has a triangular metal badge on the top left of the main drawer, I have also seen it stamped into the drawers. I wonder if this is Mengel, they did something similar, but then it would have 'Mengel Permanized' stamped in the drawer.
@@AsYouWereRestorations Perhaps. That, or another brand copied Thomasville's design and changed it up enough to avoid any copyright/trademark infringement.
Lovely
Fantastic
How much is something like this if I send you mind exactly model
Not exactly sure why a lovely piece of furniture like this needs casters. Who rolls their desk all around the house, but you did a great job refinishing it.
Thanks so much. I agree this little desk doesn't need casters, but I'm guessing when it was new someone would have said..."Now, why didn't this come with casters so I could easily move it and clean the floor!" :^)
Superb craftmanship fantastic result. Thank you for sharing !
9:14 what is this stuff?
That is some original Bondo Body Filler to smooth out the remaining rust pitting.
Restaurado picador de carne universal 🥩😉
Exelente restauração! Ficou linda! Sucesso pra vc!
muito obrigado!
Nice piece, nice work.
Thank you very much!
Beautiful job. I would have like the finish to be just a tad more sheen for such a traditional piece. Well done.
Thanks much! I have used more Howard Feed-n-Wax since the video and getting more sheen with each buffing ;^)
Some comments on what you are using would be beneficial. You skipped the most important parts: Where did you get the caulk, how did you apply it, what if there is broken glass? The only educational piece was how the edge Copper bands are attached and removed. You used a screwdriver to pound those out, that had to have damaged the Copper. Disappointing to say the least. All that said, it looks great. It just would be nice to understand your entire process with detail.
That was an excellent job...beautiful objects...top.👍
Great job....WOW
Watching an incredable movie.. a true story about golf.. The movie, the greatest game ever played, on Amazon.. the young man featured in the movie.. played with these brand of clubs.. The story takes place in 1913... So cool to see a BEE LINE Club being restored here..
That is awesome, I will have to check it out on Amazon. Those persimmon wood clubs are really beautiful!
@@AsYouWereRestorations It was an excellent movie.. At one point one of the pro golfers breaks his club over his leg.. I cringed.. what a loss.
👎👎👎
Why?
Very nice job sir.
Glad you enjoyed it...they don't make them like that anymore!
Keep making these vids man i love the production quality it reminds of Hand Tool Rescue
Thanks! Will do!
👍

Very nice
Just received my father’s old level and looks identical to this one except it’s American Level Manufacturing. What did you use to replace the white around the bubble holes? Also, there’s a 1/16” - 1/8” deep dent on one of the corner brass pieces, a little worried it won’t knock off.
Sounds like you have a new family treasure to enjoy! I did not need to replace anything, just cleaned the existing bubble guards and re-installed with some adhesive. Originally, there was thick application of caulk that held in the bubble guards, but I thought it looked better without and exposed more of the beautiful wood. And if there is a dent, I wouldn't worry about it, just lends to the character and history.
@@AsYouWereRestorations Yes, I'm very excited to have the piece. Thank you for the quick reply.
Nice you kept the patina and not do a smooth as glass finish. I paint the lettering a lighter colour on such projects to make them a feature and pop
Some left hand threads there.
Ah yes, good eye...where the ball bearing mates to the cup of the top tube
1/10 due to them gloves.
Did you use regular window glaze around the glass?
The glass bubble vials were in perfect condition, so only had to clean them with a dremel buffing wheel. The old glass that enclosed each bubble vial opening were mostly cracked and I could not find replacements, so I left them out. I did use a little glazing compound to hold in the white protective covers. Thanks.
Nice work Dude.. it looks brand new.. perfect spot in the shop. Awesome attention to detail.
Awesome.. you make look easy man.. they definitely built it to last. can't wait for part 2
Many thanks...Part 2 is up now, see what you think about the finished product!

Just one thing, it's a water heater, not a "hot" water heater
No sandblasting, heaven!!!!
Cool reuse!!
Looks good. I like how you repurposed it.
You take too bloody long to look at it. Just get on with it will you? 😠😠
Whomever hurt you is you really need to talking to about what is going wrong. This guy nor does anyone else on the Internet have time to figure out what game your playing...
Good job keep it up 🇸🇦
