Barn Find Oil Lamp - Perfect Restoration
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 พ.ค. 2024
- It was pretty much exactly three weeks ago when I last visited my friend that works at the recycling station. He always takes interesting antique items at home and sells them on eBay, so he always has very cool old and rusty stuff to restore for me. Right at the moment when I first saw this oil lamp I knew I want to make a restoration video about it. He told me that must be a barn find because of the dirt that did stick to it. Not only because I liked its design, it was also very rusty and dirty and the glass was not broken. Well, it turned out later that it was indeed broken, but the crack was not visible and I realized that myself just after cleaning with the parts washer. I was shocked when I saw the huge crack, I wasn't even sure if I made it when disassembling or cleaning. So I checked all the recordings right away to see if the crack was already there before and I was quite reliefed when I saw that I didn't do it. I did a lot of research if it would be possible to repair it, unfortunately it's impossible to fix a crack in glass. Due to safety resons it's better to replace a cracked glass anyway, but I didn't had a replacement part nor could I make a new one. As I'm only using this oil lamp as a decoration piece I decided to try my best in secure the crack to not get bigger and try to hide it as good as possible. I think I achieved a nice result with that. The oil lamp was zinc plated originally and didn't had any paint on it. I can't zinc plate and didn't like the idea of such a rough finish. So I decided to paint it, at first I wanted to make it all black. I didn't really liked the idea of having it all black and I wanted to give it a second color to play with. After long thinking I remembered „Eleanor“ from the movie „gone in 60 seconds“. I really like that grey metallic look and it fits perfectly with black in my opinion. To give it a nice touch I painted the raised letters red.
I really like how this little Eleanor oil lamp turned out. I think the grey metallic body fits perfectly with the glossy black parts and the red letters „NEOLUX“ gives it a nice touch. With the nice repaired and cleaned glass this item turned into a very nice decoration piece and it makes me happy that I can show it off for display in my appartement from now on.
I hope you like my work and the video.

Pffffft. Stupid TH-cam. Why would I want to watch some dumb old lamp get restored? It's pretty trashed. I wonder how it looks in the end. But how does he even get it apart? Guess I'll watch the first few minutes ...

Edit: now going down a my mechanics rabbit hole ...
Thank you very much, I really do appreciate it :-)
Most people do once they've seen one, it's very addictive
I’m convinced this is how everybody first starts watching his videos
Welcome to the club. 👍
Soon you learn the true meaning of "Making a new one"
3:26 "oh finally restored Button!"
3:59 "wait wha-"
;-)
I paused to come here to see this. So glad I ain’t the only one that noticed. 🙃
I was just about to make a comment about this.
kzed same!
WTF, Devid Blane!
"...and I can't make a new one."
I felt a tremor in the Force.
This has to be a *first* for this channel.
I about fell out of my chair.

Hahahaha
The best de-stress videos ever......no talking, no music, just really interesting noises from machines and sanders and sand blasters and oh so many other lovely tools.....reminds me of being in dad's shed with him when I was little....just the sounds of magic happening....
@Old Lady, there are a lot of videos that are ruined by some kind of blasting rock music or unnecessary talk, just my opinion !!
Watching that sand blaster clear the rust it feels like it's clearing my eyes. So much satisfaction.
😊
I feel the same way and I love it for that
Agree. Turn off so many videos off b/c of their music or non-stop yakking!
The metallic grey colour you chose for the restoration is simply amazing. I love it
Glad to hear that, thank you very much
I would believe a continuous saved search on eBay and frequenting various antique establishment would eventually if not sooner turn up an undamaged example or two of that exact profile of borosilicate glass shade.
I don't know why, but your reverse countersink tool just makes me happy!
The moment he whips that thing out, you know this is a master craftsman.
I don´t know what is that tool good for, but I love it
I guess the old switch footage was part of April fools?! Still, almost had me there
Haha, had to do it..
Needless to say@@mymechanics, as always it was an honour to watch you work. Fantastic job
@@nicojamesnell1565 Thank you
that completely went over my head i saw it and was like "huh thats weird thought he fixed it"
I had to pause the video just to scroll down and find this comment. I couldn't figure out what was going on.
I can't express how much I appreciate it when you clean dirt off in the sink before sandblasting.
This man is an artist, the respect he shows is unbelievable. GREAT JOB!!!
انا من رايك انه فنان ومتقن لعمله
@@jamilaelabbassi2761 Benar sekali sih, Jamila: Aku pun berpendapat bahwasanya dia [my mechanics] ini adalah *seorang seniman master yang jenius* 💡 dalam hal karyanya ini, mudah-mudahan semoga komentar saya bisa bermanfaat ya...😊🙏
I wish my grandfather had lived to see this virtuoso’s restorations, the range of tools, the immaculate workshop. He would be writing fan letters.
I have just sent my_mechanics videos to my father to watch and will watch them together after lockdown restrictions are eased.
I thought just the same. I really would have loved to sit side by side with my father who was a great craftsman himself. But at least it makes me think fondly of him…

3:58 It´s Schrödingers Button.
It´s restored and not restored until you watched the video.
Metalraxan that triggered me so hard, I was gonna flip my table as i saw it
Can't help it but that was something i noticed right away. Came to the comment section to see if i was not the only one who was anal about it. Glad to see i'm not alone.
I'd love to know more about how to restore old items like this, I'd like to do it as a hobby someday, so these videos and your subtitles on what exactly is going on is incredibly helpful, keep up the good work!
You can do it!
i think my mom wants to restore things too actually, i might do that with her
You're the Bob Ross of restoring antique art! Just like him your videos are soooo relaxing and a much needed! Thank you and keep them coming! 😊
When it goes "I make a new one" it's always perfect, like it's a universal constant in every single video this man makes and I love it
Thank you very much, I really do appreciate it :-)
A CLEAN RAG WITH OIL NO ABRASIVE AT ALL I USE OLIVE OIL. CLEAN RAGS AND SLOWLY WORK IN THE OIL THE METAL WILL CLEAN UP AND WIPE DOWN WITH A SOFT RAG TO PRESERVE THE LAMP. NO HAMMERING, SANDING OR GRINDING HELL NO!
But a fine job sir you made it look like new. Mu=ch respect.
restored gently & minmally without taking away the integrity of the original finish,, not refinished.
Have you noticed that he not only restores but often improves on the original. Amazing craftsmanship.
someone copy/pasted this exact comment
The brass cleanup was stunning. The final result was even more so.
Every one of your restorations are perfect, imho. But the hallmark of a perfectionist is having impossibly high standards. Excellent work and Thank you for your videos!
Wow, thank you!
Sandblaster: ON, switch is fixed
Sandblaster: OFF, switch is broken again
We’ve been tricked, backstabbed and quite possibly bamboozled.
I wait for it each time!
you've been discombobulated
OMG!
We've been smeckledorfed!
These are shenanigans up with which we should no longer put. Also, any such hi, med, or lo jinks.
I love that you don't limit yourself to simple restoration, you won't hesitate to improve aesthetics or functionality. That adds a lot to these videos, in addition to the great overall work and editing.
I'm glad you like it, thank you
Not going to lie I’m jealous of your craftsmanship, and really jealous of the amount of tools at your disposal. 👍👍 great job.
He must have $40,000-$60,000 worth of stuff! Incredible shop
Healing needs love & patience ❤
It reminds me when I was a child, and we had an electric cut off, and my parents lighted on this lamp. They were my heroes! You could keep doing homework for the next day! 😊
I know a lot of people like to post memes in the comments but I wanna take a quick second to say thank you, My Mechanics. Your videos are something I look forward to and I always rewatch them when I feel anxious. Your work is incredible and we thank you for what you do. Cheers and I hope you’re staying safe out there.
3:27 - intact switch cover
3:59 - defect switch cover
WHAT KIND OF TREACHERY IS GOING ON HERE???
It's a cameo ;)
Some funky things happen with this switch ;) But well... something has to deteriorate for something to been improved ;-)
Hell's bells!
This is Sorcery
I'm now of an age when my idea of happiness on New Year's Eve is watching restoration videos. Thanks for all the entertainment your videos have provided me with over the last 12 months. Happy new year to you.
Absolutely NO-ONE compares to my mechanics in restoration videos. You my friend should have a television show!
"I can't make a new one", wow, he's human
There is actually one thing I have in common with this guy now
haha, I thought the same thing
No he’s not. He did that to spoof us. The guy is unreal

I feel like restoring stuff is like a zen garden for this guy. I bet he is living his best life, stress free.
Wow! one of my favorites - I love that you used the putty to smooth out before painting most would just paint straight on and your paint work is excellent.

“Nor can I make a new one”
*Impossible*
I was about to have a breakdown when! We were more than half way and he had't say 'I'll make a new one'. Relief But then he said 'He couldn't make a new one. AHhhh
Wait thats Illegal.

Part of me died when I read that...
This is the saddest moment in the history of this channel.
Just as I was about to have a mental breakdown
my mechanics saves the day
Glad I could help ;-)
Kingrhem: my day is destroyed
my mechanics: I make new one
@@wewd my day is now also rescued😂
Having many mental breakdowns in my life, I can honestly tell you that 9 times out of 10 a video on TH-cam will not help with the problem.

The patience and craftsmanship you have takes me to another level of euphoria. The “ cheap “ tin lantern that will never be produced again has been saved by your incredible skill to rejuvenate old rustic artifacts that serve a purpose . That purpose was to provide something that these days is taken for granted by many light to see in darkness. It could have been in the very place that built the generators that make light possible for the masses . My hats off to you for restoration of a simple lantern that may have served to light the way during darkness

Thank you very much, I really do appreciate it :-)
What an amazing job. I collect antique oil lamps and have more than I care to admit. A few of them are actually older than me. I LOVE the old look, and the patina that gains with age (on the lamps, not on me). However, this one would go well in my collection after the restoration. GREAT JOB!
My day: Is ruined
My Mechanics: I make a new one
This... was a surprisingly wholesome comment...
Was anyone else expecting, “I have a friend who blows glass. He made me a new bulb”
Yes.
My wife was :-) (we watched it together)
Yeah I was waiting for "He make a new one"
I thought he would make a new one from super glue, a rubber band and a cable tie!!!
Yeah I was hoping he would make a new one too. Im sure with all the stuff he does now he would have no trouble mastering glass work after some trying.
once I start watching your restoration I can not stop watching till you are done, it is amazing to see what a talented craftsmen you are , well done
Soooooo satisfying!! The appreciation and love of the design and engineering shows in every step of your work!
Thank you for breathing life into these beautiful inventions!!
My only goal in life is to use a reverse-countersink tool.
Brendan Taylor
It’s next on my list. I’ve already bought the giant flat files he uses and the cool drill countersinks. Let me tell you, the files aren’t cheap but what a difference between them and the ones the big box stores sell.
@@MrCarnutbill67 which ones did you buy, was it a set? I have been looking as well...mind giving up your source? cheers
I bought one after watching this channel.....I still haven't used it ...... but I HAVE one :)
alex4alexn
I bought mine locally here in Columbus Ohio at a place called Spartan Tool.
I'm a chick & have absolutely no idea what a reverse-countersink tool does, but I love watching this guy's vids & feel I need all of these tools even though I wouldn't know how to use half of them!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
'I can't make a new one.'
"Ah... So you *are* afraid of something, after all."
I love the way you “restore” your pieces to be as they were once imagined before they were engineered the least expensive way possible!
Блин, слов нет. Мне кажется человек с такими навыками (ну и оборудованием) никогда не пропадет, он просто элементарно может дубликаты сделать этой лампы, думаю покупатели на них всегда найдутся. Класс, мне очень понравилось. Привет из Чеченской Республики!

I swear these videos should be recognised for positive contributions to mental health. Every time I watch these my OCD gets all nicely put to bed lol.
Wow thank you so much, I really do appreciate it :-)
I love watching them for the techniques used, bit they are also really relaxing. Get all zen!
It's funny actually, I watch them before bed to unwind. I recommended to someone else who thought I meant they were boring. Far from it! Heathen!
My Mechanics: if you don't get it you wouldn't understand :-)
@@TimInertiatic I can not but agree.
I often watch my mechanics videos before bed to dial down.
During periods of stress I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night with panic attacks. They can be pretty intense and scary, so I end up feeling a bit uneasy. And that's when I watch these videos. They are just relaxing and take my mind off of things.
after sandblasting
me: wow! done!
my mechanics: let's start to restore!
gets bondo
Me: AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH 😃🔫
You're right :)
I actually rewound the video to see the blemishes, I believed the same as you.
That’s the difference between " refurbishing " and " restauring " . Two words for two levels of craftmanship ...
Stunning! I can't get over how high end your finishes are. Just amazing
Thank you kindly!
Perfect restoration far better than it was new in early days. Thanks for disseminating the knowledge and skill among the new aspirants through such videos.
The knowledge, skill, ability and confidence this person has to repair, rebuild, remanufacture anything is amazing. There used to be many people like this person who could do these sorts of things but unfortunately we live in a throw away world now and these kinds of skills are no longer prized nor sought after. I don’t know who you are but I would like to virtually shake your hand for not only having the skills you do but for taking the time to share them with us. Thank you.
Jeffrey Nelson mesmerizing isn’t it?
All hail capitalism

Хорошо сказано!
Very well and wisely said.
pretty sneaky putting in the broken switch again to mess with us.
also that dremel sounds like it runs on the souls of the damned.
Windhelm Guard , I was going to say it sounds like whining baby crickets, but I like your description much better!
2 things I've always had a passion for:
Vintage lamps like this one
Restorations.
Thank you for showing us there is hope for nice things after time and neglect have had their way with them.
Thanks, I'm glad you like it :-)
The work you do and the results are a joy to watch. Love your videos.
Video: "This glass is broken."
Me: "Make a new one!"
Video: "It can't be repaired."
Me: "Yesss. Make. A. New. One. Whoo hoo!"
Video: "I can't make a new one."
Me: heartbroken
You can repair those, same process as repairing a clip in a car windscreen.
I expected him to melt the glass and blow a new one. For real. And, kinda, thought he may solder it shut. LOL. I know, that sounds stupid.
@@calcmandan i too was hoping for some glass blowing 😁
Superglue is good enough even if he uses it on a regular basis, once fully cured superglue isn't as flammable and has a high enough melting point to be safe in that position. Windscreen repair kits use a clear epoxy which isn't much different.
He finally met his nemesis... Glass! The only thing he can't make a new one of... so far...
I was seriously waiting for him to say, " glass is cracked " then next scene was him doing some glass blowing ..
Same 😄
"Glass is cracked and can't be repaired... I make a new one"
@@EvilOttoJrProductions Basic glass blowing, actually not all that hard. Biggest issue is having the tools and space, but "maker spaces" or a local small glass manufacturer can very often suffice.

*spins up lathe with giant orb of solid glass on it*
It has been transformed into a very expensive lamp.
This shape of lamp is very nice because it is a format that cannot be seen in my country nowadays!
There is also a saying that old tools have a soul, so this lamp must be very grateful to the craftsman who repaired it.
And where are you from?
Such beautiful craftsmanship. I so enjoy watching you work. Thank you for sharing (I’m so envious of your workshop!).

NO SHARP EDGES EVER !!!! Points if u get the movie reference.

Everything must be smooth and polished.
The oil lamp has a special place in my heart. Electricity was never reliable in my childhood. It comes and goes without any warning. This oil lamp was the saviour at such times. Brought back lots of nostalgic memories. If I can lay my hand on one now I would definitely grab it for old time sake.
Beautiful restoration of a mundane lamp.. watched it with pleasure..
Same. Between brownouts, blackouts, and just plain going camping, I've always loved hurricane lamps
Reminds me of being at grandma's washing smokey lamp chimneys in the morning so they'd be ready for the evening. We would line them up on the peddle- operated sewing machine so they could all be filled and then all lit at once at night. In the evenings we would listen to radio soap operas or baseball after dinner by the warm light of the lamps. I miss grandma and old Mexico. Now they have TV's and electricity and no one gathers around the table anymore.
Think my father will have the same reaction Bala Nair.
I have same one oil lamp any one wana buy then text me ! Thanks
Mu mother told me the same.
Extraordinary patience and talent! Fora moment I thought you would repair the glass, and you did.
Incredible job! I am so happy to see the results of this beautiful lamp.
If he said “I restore old, rusty Titanic to MINT.” I’d believe him.
"Working on restoration; this 'Titanic' is broken. I make a new one." (a few minutes of lathe work later) 'Done!'
I wouldn't put it pass him that he would be the one to be able to accomplish such a task lol

Lovely restoration, I have quite a few different kero lamps in the shed, havnt bothered to do anything with them. After watching this I am motivated to clean them up and restore them.
Sounds great!
It's more art than restauration . Perfect.
Thank you so much :-)
When MM comes out with a video during the covid hysteria, it's the beacon of hope we need.
Not all heroes wear capes.
every video I watch of yours I just get more and more impressed, you are a one of a kind!!
Beautiful !! I redone the one my Dad had when he was a young boy on a dairy farm {mid to late 40's} I inherited it when he passed away in 2012...wish I knew how to post pictures of it !!! Thank you for this video, it reminded me of my Dad !!!
This kind of restoration is an exploration of how something was made as much as it is a restoration. It's not the cost of the restoration, as much as it is a visit in time to past craftsmanship, technique and problem solving. A lot of things can still work very well, and using them is an experience that helps us understand applied science and technology.
His work is not a restoration, it's the ultimate accolade for the tool.
When the sandblaster was turned on, I thought: "Hey, a new button." When it was turned off, it appeared to be the old one. Kind of strange.
Cover fell off. Same button though.
I thought the same thing. I had to go back to make sure I didn't imagine it
Not the same button at all! Somehow the old broken cover reappeared on the button during sandblasting... 🤔
He’s really trolling us now with this switch cover
i belive he is using old footage of the button to troll
10:15 I couldn't even notice the cut, it was so damn seamless! This channel is more than the product restored, it's the presentation, it's a masterpiece!
Получилось превосходно. С таким оснащением мастерской, по другому и быть не могло!!!!
If I had that polishing machine, I’d polish tf out of every piece of metal I find in my life
Bench grinder, replace the grinding stones with polishing wheels and get a big block of polishing compound
Finally, I was so bored. I needed this
Enjoy ;-)
Reminds me of watching my Dad in his tool and die shop. I learned a lot about working with metals and tools. Metals Engineers could do anything they put their mind to. Sure miss him. You’re lucky to have the interest and mind for this there are few left. 👍🏻❤️🖖🏻💪🏻🙋🏼♀️

Marvelous. I was reminded of our lamp growing up.

This is amazing!
And we also have to consider that back then, quality didn’t matter-the only thing that mattered is if it was effective, useful, & actually worked.
Again, the transformation is great!
Beautiful restoration! Love this lamp😊
I never know what my favorite step in the process of these is. But I think it’s a tie between “I make a new one” and sandblasting 😍
Definitely sand blasting, watching him get rid of all the crud and remaining rust is so satisfying.
@@NorthEastMick
So satisfying to watch ya, Mick...😎
Here's a shirt idea: have an unrecognizable lump of goop in the middle with the words "I don't know if I applied enough filler" around it. I'd wear it in a heartbeat. I'd draw it in a heartbeat!
Always excited to watch your videos!!
Anyone who has spent any time around these oil lamps will understand why we, as a society, don't sleep well any more. Masterfully done, as always!
Super job. I restored a pretty antique oil lamp a few years ago and the brass burner was very fragile indeed. I needed to anneal it, and then resolder the pieces back together. It was a very satisfying job and works very well.

Fantastic job sir! Hats off to you!
