Splendid restoration. I have an OCD problem when watching mechanical restoration videos, but have learned that your videos never trigger it. Sweet relief... Thank you brother! Keep it up! BTW...does anyone else find it remarkable that this air compressor was made the same year mankind first walked on the moon? What is your initial reaction to this: "Simplicity x (Precision + Top Quality Materials) = Functionally Sustainable Heirlooms" ...wow im a dork.
Though it's that super old it still seems to work like modern. Just what might be interesting is how much power it draws from the line...maybe there modern compressors are a bit ahead (cheaper power bills 😁)
This is just wonderfully restored I have no complaints, the color is amazing the creativity is brilliant and the video it self is just great in on it self.
As a red seal journeyman plumber gasfitter in canada i am amazed by these videos. Wondering what trade you have to be such a pro craftsman. Love these videos!
Since that Pressure Tank is 50 years old, It should be tested Hydrostatically at 1.5 times working pressure. If it is rated at 100 psi, then test it full of water at 150 psi. You may need a special pump to do this but do it in a clear area in case it explodes. It may have had moisture in it for years and corroding at welds etc. 9 kpa/cm2 is about 135 PSIG. Stay clear!
I blew a tractor tire near me once, i was lucky that the blow made it fly away from me, but i couldn't hear straight for two hours after that. I was lucky that day. Air pressure is no joke, i fear these systems more than gas.
You are a truly professional craftsman. As a red seal journeyman plumber and gasfitter in canada i am perplexed to know what trade you do and where you do it. Ive always wanted to restore things like this. I do it with old faucets and heating equipment
Superior Japanese quality. And of course excellent restoration. I would suggest repainting the "Iwata - Minicom" lettering on the side of the air tank. Keep up the good work!
Nice work, the only thing i would do differently is hydro testing the tank before the restoration process, mainly because of how old it is, there might be some heavy corrosion at the bottom, which make it dangerous to operate or even fail and explode if unlucky.
As others mentioned, be careful of a rusted tank. Even if you don't want it tested, at least inspect the inside of the tank for severe rust. A cheap borescope camera dropped down one of the connection holes works well. The worst rust will obviously be along the bottom of the tank where the condensate sits. I just fired up an old compressor that was sitting for a few years only to find pin holes at the bottom of the tank. Looking inside showed severe rust along the bottom, the rest of the tank inside was still shiny silver bare steel. That went to the curb for scrap.
I might be 4-month's late in watching this amazing restoration: which I actually found whilst peeping elsewhere. Regardless, and though at the moment, for reasons I won't go in to, I find I have available time to watch your video collection from the beginning. After which I might even start my own private collection... Good luck, and thanks for the ideas.
Beautiful job! I have a similar compressor, except it has two small tanks attached. The pump is an Iwata 150B model, is that the same as yours....the pump looks the same. I have never known what to set the pressure switch at max pressure. It looks like you have yours set at 9kg/cm2. I guess I should set mine that was too.
Just about to do a similar restoration on my 1970 Stenhoj compressor - why sell it on and buy another, when for a bit of work I can restore to 'as new'. Great video - we need more people on YT to show / convert people to restoring things rather than throwing away and buying new.
I hope you inspected the boiler/tank well! Old Tanks with rust are NO JOKE when used with air pressure. Pretty much turning into a ticking time bomb after 20-30 years. Always depends on how often the condense water was released… tank can look shiny from outside, but may be full of rust inside and explode!! Do a hydro test!!! It’s the least that should be done!!
There's nothing better in this world than that moment when you are hand sanding a restored tool prior to paint, and you tell yourself constantly, every 30 seconds: "Do it fast. You're taking too long. Dont be a paint in the But. It doesn't have to be perfect!!!"...
Buen trabajo de restauración. Pero como ya te han dicho, revisa el tanque de aire. Y lo otro, pule las piezas de bronce. El tubo de cobre lo hubiera dejado en el color original y le hubiese aplicado un barniz transparente así como a la válvula de seguridad en bronce, el das un toque industrial y ecléctico. Y las ruedas le hubiese puesto unas de goma, así amortiguas la vibración y el ruido. Por lo demás, buen trabajo!!!
Espectacular video, muchas gracias por compartir sus conocimientos y mostrar sus habilidades, ojala yo pudiera hacer el 10% de lo que usted hace, es uno de mis youtoubers preferidos , he visto todos sus videos, agradeceria hiciera un video de su arenadora parece funcionar muy bien, gracias desde Uruguay.
Could you do a video where you explain your techniques? Perhaps you already have one? Like for instance, why heat treating the nuts/bolts, what powder are you using to wash the outer parts at first? Would be really interested! thank you!
Great work ! it is a beautiful air compresor and another masterful restoration. Btw, I recomend checking the starting capacitor, it's degradation can lead to excessive pump vibrations.
Great restoration video. Not complaining but my OCD flag went up at 14:01. I was waiting for you to tap that bulge on the fan guard back in. :-) No problem though. The compressor looks great.
this is a great restoration and many people have mentioned to get the vessel pressure tested. however, i am more interested in the make. i still come across iwata compressors in north america, but they are the small kind for air brushes. nothing so big as the one in your video. do they still make this size (and maybe larger?)
I have worked using air compressors for over 50 years. Never seen one explode, never heard of one explode, never met anyone who had one explode. Most people leave pressure in the hose line so that will "pop" before a tank will ever explode.
You are making difference with how people look at old and broken machinery. if everyone did this we would have less waste. Fantastic job!
Thank you so much :)

I am also renovating my 1989 compressor. It was 30 years old and it was time to give it a makeover!
Hello from France ...
I hope you bought a new Tank for it. Pressure Tanks are no joke! At least get it checked…

I like the rotating Jar with sand in it. Very clever.
Thank you so much!
Lovely Restoration.As some friends have suggested take care to pressure test the tank in future restorations
Yes, you are right
Beautiful air compressor very well built !
Excelente restauración mi estimado hermoso compresor...saludos desde Perú
Superb engineering / restoration works - skilled as ever, a job well done 👏🏻

Ah first time I saw your face is in this video. Reflection on sandblasting machine... All your work is great man
Hey, Thanks! Nice work. Turned out splendid! I learned a couple tricks watching, as well.
beautiful job.....love that paint will have to find some in NZ
once again it turned out great. Especially the hammer-effect paint looks great.
Thank you so much 😀
@@gear_show no problem.
What is the orange stick you are filling the threaded holes with? Looks like it works better than tape!
Carrot.

Hoje lembrei de você. Consertei uma antiga parafusadeira Bosch a bateria.
Great restoration - another vintage machine saved from the Furnace. 👍👍👍
Many thanks!
Im amazed about the state of the tank after all that time. Apart from peeling off paint, rust and dirt, its in good shape.
Yes, it is.
Una belleza...gracias por mostrar...estoy aprendiendo

That’s pretty smart shit using a container full of sand to sand every thing down by spinning the container
Thank you so much, but it take much time.

Amazing project. What kind of sandblasting medium did you use?
Very good job man
Thank you so much 😀
Wow 5:05 what kind of cleaning u did with the sand?
Have the reservoir tested. Air explosions are no joke, shrapnel, ear drum rupture, the list is painful.
This is great reminding point, thank you so much!
thats is a nice restoration.
Thank you!
Great work 👍❤️
what's the name or kind of the paint really it's amazing?
Very nice work
Thanks a lot
Great restoration video. Not complaining but my OCD flag went up at 14:01. I was waiting for you to tap that bulge on the fan guard back in. :-) No problem though. The compressor looks great.
Здорово получилось.НО,не хватает воздушного фильтра.

I have worked using air compressors for over 50 years. Never seen one explode, never heard of one explode, never met anyone who had one explode. Most people leave pressure in the hose line so that will "pop" before a tank will ever explode.
