I love restoring vintage odds and ends. What antique do you want to see Restored?

At the very least, it’s a precision c-clamp. Nice restoration, it looks great.
As a gauge technician I find this to be very interesting. You really got it looking good and working.
Your ability to restore and generally fix shit is beyond impressive!! And so is your workshop 🎉
You'll have to have it tested. The chances are it may still be operating accurately. Nice clean up. It looks brand new.
This was excellent. You really went all out. Love the result.
I miss the dad jokes you sprinkled in there. But you always do amazing work
Beatiful restoration 👍👏 Congratulations and Greetings from Belgium 😉🇧🇪👋
I once had to use an ultrasonic cleaner to get a suppressor off a rifle that had been left out in a barn for 10 months. Absolute horrendous job and the cleaner stripped the coating off the pistol. But they are quite amazing at getting down in the pitch of the threads and getting rust, dust, dirt and oil out. Great job on this project.
That's a great effort man. They can't always be perfect and I like seeing something not work out exactly as planned for once as it truly happens to all of us. Great job!
That micrometer looks much better than before. At least you cleaned all the rust off the parts when you disassembled it. You might not have gotten it accurate but you had it working again. Excellent work.
As a machinist and a quality control gage tec alot if what you did had me cringing but all in all good job you didn't mess up the internals so that's a good start get it calibrated and you just may be good. It is either a mitutoyo or a Starrett micrometer. I use many like this one on a daily basis at work. Love your videos brother keep up the amazing work.
Unless you recut the fine threads OR changed the length of the quill, I say it will be as accurate as it was manufactured to be... The fine threads set the accuracy if the quill hasn't been changed via thread change or length. To zero it the end stop plug can be adjusted to change that... JMHO!
Great Magician
Great toolmaker
You’re very successful to restore Micrometer!!!!
I think engineers want to meet you for any restorations. It’s amazing work!
See ya next project 😊
"By my life and my love of it, Lost & Restored, you have embodied the spirit of industry and wisdom with this endeavor. As I once said, 'Diligence is the mother of good luck,' and your diligent efforts with this 1950's micrometer have not gone unnoticed. The ingenuity applied here, to breathe new life into a rusted tool, is a testament to the infinite potential of man's innovative spirit. I look forward to observing your future undertakings with great interest!" --Benjamin Franklin
Hello mister beautiful restoration beautifully restored well done
I like that it was about the restoration, not the destination.
Beautiful restoration. 👍👍
A comparison would have been nice, but you imagine how many things that measured over it's life a tool with a life well lived.
Great video it really turned out nice thanks for sharing
is there a link to the rubber plugs you used?
beautiful restoration
Looks great... Starrett makes an oil specifically for micrometers
It's probably more than accurate enough for a woodworker!! ;)
The name plate looks just like the ones on my Starrett mics. I would wager that some of the engineers at my shop could not accurately use a mic.
Very fine resto. Interesting video.
Great job. You have a new subscriber. 🙂
After all was said and done, how accurate was it?
Great video as always,keep doing what your doing.kudos 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Very good
Nice work 😊
This may be an old Stanley micrometer; their headquarters and manufacturing is located in New Britain, Connecticut.
*OUR* rusted micrometer
Przepiękne jest to odrestaurowane ten bardzo stary mikromet pozdrawiam twórcę tego filmiku serdecznie 👍👍👍👍👍👍
tak!
Please tell us where did you get this Rusty micrometer??
Muito bom bom
Parabéns ❤❤❤
Enjoyed watching
Good job. What kind of paint did you use? I like the wrinkles.

Brilliant job of restoration, however. I'm not sure it'll ever be accurate. Thanks for sharing.
Well done, sir. Did you ever get the chance to see if the calibration was off?
It's a decorative wall-hangar now. I wouldn't trust it to give me an accurate reading on that block.
So nice
Subbed and liked the video. Goo Job.
I thought I saw “new Britain” engraved on it
All my mics were curling up in their boxes at the sight of that poor relation !. At least it looked good at the end of its restoration☺
Nice recovery. I'd use it, but like you say...not for anything critical.
“It’s perfect”
❤
As a machinist this hurts my soul
Класс 👍👍👍
Very impressive restoration!
yeah, i never seen such idiots before
You should probably get a better rust remover that one sucks.
A set of Gage block's would test it for correct
Короче,писта микрометру..
wow
No way he picked the right allen wrench first try
It can be used for training and education. Who cares if the student drops it.
Well, it was useless at the start of the video.
It works now and calibration will tell you if it's "out".
Làm được đấy
Just add a hammer cross it, and voila you can rule the world
👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👏🥃🥃🥃 13:03
I thought I was a old soviet weapon
❤❤❤
There is specjalist who can calibrate this micrometer for u.
Probably not a good idea to hammer and use a punch on a micrometer. Would be interesting to see what a real machinist thought about the accuracy now
As long as it gets recalibrated I can't see any reason it wouldn't be decently accurate. If it measures well on a few different gauge block stacks I wouldn't have any reservations using it.
Not restoration just cleaning if its not precise.
Impressionnant 🍒
