Antique Scale Restoration - Laser Engraving, Bluing, Sandblasting

- In this video, I take you through the complete restoration of a beautiful antique kitchen scale. This old scale was in a rough state, but with careful attention and the right techniques, I've brought it back to life.
The restoration process begins with a thorough disassembly of the scale to clean and restore each part individually. I first check if the original paint contains lead-it thankfully does not. The brass components are soaked in a mixture of flour, vinegar, and salt to gently remove dirt and tarnish. The other parts are sandblasted to eliminate rust and grime.
Once all the pieces are cleaned, it’s time for painting. The large parts are sprayed with fresh paint, while the smaller internal components are blued to protect against corrosion. Since the original scale plate was missing, I created a new one from aluminum. The numbers on the scale are engraved using precise laser engraving, giving the scale a stunning, authentic look.
Finally, I add green decorative details to the freshly white-painted scale, completing the restoration. The highlight of this project is undoubtedly the new scale plate brought to life by the laser engraving.
Watch the video to see this antique kitchen scale transform from a neglected relic into a sparkling gem! If you enjoy restoration projects like this, don’t forget to subscribe to the channel and give the video a thumbs up.

babe wakeup new forgotten shine restoration video dropped
🤣🤣👍🐢
Great restoration! The sound from that extraction system you have for the paint sounds like you're either down in the Mariana Trench, or in space lmfao.
😅👍🐢
Really enjoyed watching this restoration . Excellent craftsmanship !
Thank you very much! 🐢
great work
Great restoration! It's always impressive to see scrap iron turned back into a useful and attractive instrument.
Thank you very much! 🐢
You could file off the sharp edges and rough spikes from casting.
Great work.💯💯💯
Thank you! 🐢
Soo Happy to get to see another one of your videos, you do great work.
Thank you! 🐢
A beautiful restoration but you should've payed a pro fine liner to do the paint
Das Laserdingens ist geiler Scheiß. Genau mein Dingens. Der Rest, wie immer, sensationell.
Vielen Dank! Ja, der Laser macht schon richtig Spaß! 🐢
Ich würde das Ding nie wieder zusammen bekommen...😂 tolle Arbeit !
Ich habe auch meine Aufnahmen vom zerlegen vorher nochmal angeschaut 😅🐢
Gut gemacht 👏
Danke! 🐢
Colles intro.
Auch wieder eine einwandfreie Arbeit. 👍🏻
Danke für das Lob! 🐢❤
some heck of an intro!
Thank you very much! I'm very happy that you like it! 🐢
I think I need a laser for my workshop, too. Also cause of the funny sound...😊😂😅
🤣👍 Thats true... 🐢
wie immer ein Genuss, dir zuzusehen und zu -hören :-)
Danke für das Lob!🐢
Great job as always, this one looked like it was a doozy to put back together 😅.
Great job!
Next time you add paint highlights, use a sponge instead of a brush. You'll get neater lines and better coverage.
thats a great tipp. Thank you! 🐢
@@ForgottenShineRestoration You're very welcome!
Truly superb! A work of art
Thank you! 🐢
Love your cordless drill 😜 and the cool sandblast shots!
Thank you!🐢
kitchen scale - кухонные весы; чешуя - scale of fish.
always amazed at your skill thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your nice comment, I'm very happy about that... 🐢❤
The engraving sent it over the top, wonderful job!
Thank you very much! 🐢
It looks great and you did a wonderful job restoring it as well!!!!
I enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up
Thank you very much! Nice to read from you again. I recently discovered that you are my first traceable subscriber... ♥️🐢
Marvelous restoration job. That scale looks a lot better than before. Excellent work.
Thank you so much for your great comment! 🐢
Unintentional ASMR love it
It is a little bit intentional 😅🐢
Super ! 🐢💚👏👏👏
Danke! 🐢
I Also Do Restoration Of Old Rusty Machinery. I See You Do Very Well
Incredible work as always 👍👍
Thanks a lot! 🐢
SO lovely!
Thank you! 🐢
really great job! 🍀🍀👌👌
Thanks a lot! 🐢👍
Всегда восхищаюсь вашими работами! Я занимаюсь ремонтом и немного реставрацией одежды, и люблю смотреть работу других мастеров.❤
Спасибо! Вы тоже сами снимаете видео? 🐢
@@ForgottenShineRestoration работу не снимаю, только своих собачек, для души. 😊
Отличная работа!
Спасибо!🐢
The unintentional overblowing of the mic is really funny
ha enfin quelqu'un qui sait ce servir d'une lime pour faire les arrondis. Super boulot, Merci
Merci! Sinon, cela n’a presque aucun sens, non ?! 😅🐢
The earplug-in-the-hole trick is a tip I’ve given on so many of these restoration channels that I don’t remember who all I’ve told it to. If you heard it from me, I’m glad you’ve found it useful. If you _didn’t_ hear it from me… well, I’m *STILL* glad you’ve found it useful!
Good restoration! The laser etched faceplate turned out very nice!
Unfortunately, I don't remember who gave me the tip. But I'm glad to know the tip...🐢
Чувак, весы - это точный измерительный инструмент. В данном случае никакая реставрация не вернёт их к полноценной функциональности!
После реставрации они лишь выглядят как новые, но годятся лишь как декоративные, для музея.
Formidable restauration !!! Bravo !!! 👍👍👍
Merci 🐢
So cool💪👍
Thanks! 🐢
Класный видос, браво мастер. Лайкаю.
Спасибо! 🐢
That spooky fog and eerie noises was so over the top and I LOVED it. Wunderbar!
Thank you 😅🐢
Die Kreuzschlitzschrauben verderben das Gesamtbild.
Ja, leider wurden mir die falschen Schrauben geschickt und die Zeit war knapp. Geplant waren Schlitzschrauben... 🐢
Wow!!!
Excelente
Thank you! 🐢
Very nice
Thanks! 🐢
Wait . . . you painted it in green, but at the end the detail was all grey. Trick of the light, or did you repaint?
No, it's still green. you can actually see it worse due to the lighting..🐢

What software did you use to make the template?
Inkscape... 🐢
This is restoration on a scale never seen before!! 😉 ❤😍
Thank you very much! 🤩🐢
That laser engraved dial is the centerpiece of that restoration.
Thats true... 🐢
That's superb, I love the white and great paint finish 😊
Thanks! 🐢
Nice job , shouldnt the tip of the needle have been red ?
Good idea, I'm just not sure if the original is red?!🐢
Parabéns
Excellent
Good job
Thank you very much! 🐢
Great job 👍
Thanks! 🐢
Loudest restoration channel I've come across. I love it!
😅🐢
Keep practicing the pin striping and use the proper brushes. It is a long hard craft to master.
Eine absolut gelungene Restaurierung mit einem Superergebnis. Tolle Arbeit , mit viel Gedult und Wissen durchgeführt👌👍👍👍
Vielen lieben Dank für dein ganz tolles Feedback! Liebe Grüße 🐢
Очень круто . Класс !!!
Спасибо!🐢
أنا مشترك جديد✌️🇮🇶✌️
شكرا جزيلا ومرحبا بكم!🐢
Very nice refurbishing of such an old rusty scale. Even with your iffy painting efforts (your alluding to) it still has such a regal look to the finished product. I say you made it look great... Thumbs Up!
Thank you very much! 😅👍🐢
Great job on the restoration! A trick I saw for fine detail painting is to use a toothpick instead of a brush (if you don't have a tiny brush).
Oh, that's a good idea, I've done that before in another restoration. apparently I forgot this trick 😅🐢
Well done, what is the name of the software you used ?!
Thank you! Davinci resolve...🐢
Awesome restoration! Precision masking tape might help with the painting as it's meant to be flexible enough to go around the corners while still giving you a crisp line.
oh yes, thats a good idea, thank you! 🐢
Nicely done! Did you coat the laser engraved scale with a clear lacquer? Also, would the depth of the laser engraving permit adding color to the scale?
Thanks, no I didn't put any varnish on it. Since the surface was already rough, I didn't dare put powder on it, otherwise everything might be colored and I didn't want that... 🐢
Perfect. Hi from Turkey.. Best regards..
Thanks! Greetings to Turkey! 🐢
Yeah, but would the painting have been perfect on an original unit? Probably not, so you made it look authentic. Painting freehand is not easy. Take it from a model builder. it takes quite a while and a lot of practice to get really good.
Thank you for your kind words! 🐢
Nice👍🏻
Thanks! 🐢
Replace the Phillips head screws with regular slotted head screws to be periodically correct.
Period correct
Great job 🇧🇷🫶
Thank you so much! 🐢
Super jest ta waga odrestaurowana Pozdrawiam serdecznie. 👍👍👍👍👍
Dziękuję! 🐢
Nic ❤❤❤
Thanks! 🐢
Very good restauration,bad color,is green not grey
Is it equal parts of each for the flour, vinegar and salt mix? No matter how much or how little you want to make. Correct?
Exactly, you put the same amount of everything in 🐢
@@ForgottenShineRestoration awesome, thanks
Bravo
Thanks! 🐢
Hello mister beautiful restoration beautifully restored well done
Hello... 🐢
I loved the intro!
On the other hand, the machines sounds were too loud and harsh. In older videos they were a little dampened more pleasant.
All in all, another beautiful restoration!❤
Thank you for your feedback! I'm working on reworking the sound, something seems to have broken, I noticed myself that something was wrong. It should be fixed in the next video...🐢
The audio gain on this vid is oddly amazing😂
Großes Kompliment 👍👍👍
Vielen lieben Dank! 🐢
Do you offer this as a service? I have an old relaoding press from my grandma id love to have cleaned up. Though its no where near as in bad shape as this stuff haha
No, this is just my hobby😅🐢
@@ForgottenShineRestoration damn, was worth a shot
Sehr gute Arbeit. Wo bekommst Du nur immer die alten Sachen her?
Vielen Dank! Die meisten Sachen beziehe ich über Ebay oder Kleinanzeigen... 🐢♥️
Que delícia vídeo seu❤. Amo demais uma oena que já assisti todos. Por mim queria vídeo seu novo todos dias🤩🇧🇷
Muito obrigado! Estou sempre ansioso por seus comentários. Que bom que você é um espectador tão fiel 🐢♥️
Na, wenn das keine deutsche Qualitätsarbeit ist, dann weiß ich och net. Kann man nicht meckern.
Что делать если будет свинец?
Я бы тогда снял краску средством для снятия краски, иначе при пескоструйной очистке она бы попала в легкие...🐢
@@ForgottenShineRestoration Спасибо!
It was good until you hand painted it!!
🙈🙈🙈🐢
¡"Escalas", no, balanzas!
Обратно я не собрал бы. Лайкос
While I normally love your restoration videos, this is the first time I've nearly turned one off before finishing it. The "shaky cam" segments made me feel sick to my stomach because I get motion sick really easily. All in all, this was a great restoration, but please avoid the shaky camera!
ok, thank you for your feedback! 🐢
Вопрос лишь на кой здесь нужна соль? Уксуса и муки достаточно
Соль немного ускоряет процесс.🐢
You did such a nice job, but you have the kg - lb conversion wrong. 1 Kg = 2.205 lbs. So, your lbs scale is off by about 10%. 😢
No, unfortunately you are wrong, it is German pounds and 2 German pounds are exactly 1 kilogram 🐢
Why did that red turtle have a face on it? 😂😂
Because a turtle without a face would have looked creepy and unsettling.
🤣🤣🤣👍🐢♥️
🐢💪
🐢♥️
you never field it..
❤
🐢❤👑
Needs mor compression hahaha
Unfortunately, we couldn't see the green accent color because the lighting was bad.
Your pounds scale is about 10% off (a kilo is 2.2 pounds, not 2.0)
Unfortunately, you are wrong. The German pound, that means 1 kiko is exactly 2 pounds🐢
Die feinen Lackarbeiten gehen besser mit einem kleinen Stück Küchenschwamm.
Ah, das ist ein guter Tipp. Aus meiner Familie erhielt ich ebenfalls einen tipp, eine schaumstoffrolle zu benutzen und nur leicht aufzudrücken...🐢
I wish you "restorer yahoos" would drop the melodramatics and just do the job with SOME explanation!
What you do not understand? 🐢
@@ForgottenShineRestoration I am not commenting on any lack of understanding. It seems that there is a trend towards this "silent drama" approach,,,,,,,,,,wait, Is this another Gootube AI video?
Is it me or the audio sounds bad?
