I was so afraid he wasn't going to test it at the end. So afraid I'd never see one of these things actually work in real life. But he did it. He squirted that oil. And I've never been so happy
I love how these videos make us appreciate the beauty in everyday objects. I mean, look how beautiful that oil can turned out. It’s a freakin oil can. And it’s beautiful.
@@mkm692 well technically the oil canister shown here also needs to be refilled by oil cans that get thrown out. Just nowadays our oil /lubricant cans come with a tube that allows us to use it easily. Doesn't mean this isn't a cool restoration, but we just don't need tools like these that much.

#1 Best Restorer on TH-cam right here. Fascinating to see that welding dent remover, never seen anything like that before and it worked perfectly! I never even knew that Threading File existed either, very cool!
As a professional body shop repair man, I use one of those dent pullers when access to the dent with lifting bars is not available. Top tip: clean the tip of the puller with a fine file after each pull minimises the risk of pulling holes in the metal.
I'd have to agree. I've seen about a dozen channels thus far. And while Hand Tool Rescue does a great job, he doesn't use a polishing buff wheel on the goddamned pump springs. I Kinda want to label this kind of dedication to not...restoration, but some higher calibur. Words fail me. But essentially Restore might mean, clean it, fix the broken parts, and maybe a paint job. But he goes so far beyond, with the polishing, machining new parts. THESE PROJECTS ARE SUPERIOR TO WHEN THEY WERE NEW. Restoration...just doesn't feel adequate a term.
I agree that he is the number 1 on youtube from what i have seen. But only part what i am kinda sad about is that,he was the first youtuber who i started to watch restoring and he set the standars so high that noone can compete with him,that now if i watch someone else it feels like they are missing on details when restoring something.. Would have been much better if i would have seen someone else first and they would seem very good aswell and than gradually i would have found this channel and i would think this dudes restoration is just waaay more advanced (which it is). It is like he is the level 100 from 100. And now if watch anything else,it's not so enjoyable like watching this dude's restoration.
@@LastPrecent Exactly my problem, haha :) With other channels it's like I'm already questioning "why doesn't he/she do it like him", as it clearly works.
There are a lot of restoration channels on TH-cam. but I only watch yours because you're the only one that does a perfect restoration. No detail is to small to fix. Keep up the great work, love your Channel.
My favorite part about your videos is how there's no commentary or music. It's just patiently working away at a project. There's something almost therapeutic about watching them. Also I dig that you take "restoration" to a whole new league. I've seen lots of these kinds of videos but I've never seen someone go as far as machining new screws and bolts. Also the buffing wheel is my favorite part. I like how you really try to get as many scratches out as possible.
For getting out the dent, use a steel ball bearing (large as you can fit through the mouth) and a strong permanent rare earth magnet on the outside, they come with handles for repairing horned musical instruments, but you can fabricate a handle cheaper. Keep using the magnet to roll the bearing across the dent till its gone. Works like a charm and no weld marks.
@@MilesBader The strength of magnetic attraction to a given magnet is directly proportional to the mass of the ferromagnetic material being affected. The ball bearing provides enough ferromagnetic mass to exert the necessary force to bend the oiler's relatively thin wall. The wall itself would not have enough ferromagnetic mass to bend by itself and thus the bearing is needed and the wall will only bend where that extra force is applied. (Contrary to popular belief even the strongest magnet in the world couldn't do something like, pull a paper clip out of your hand. The paperclip simply doesn't have the ferromagnetic mass needed. The friction of your grip and your strength would be more than enough to overcome the attraction.) Edit: Oh and another gorgeous restoration. Kudos OP. Loving the videos.
@@MilesBader It doesn't really work out as well, the ball tends to stick and roll sluggishly, it makes an already awkward task even worse (you wouldn't use this method when you could access the underside easier with other tools). But heating the workpiece up to around ~700C+ makes it nonmagnetic and slightly more malleable (until it cools down).
I thought he could have pushed it out with his finger. Wondered why he did it at all as he then filled and painted it. the dent puller/welding tool seemed to lead to a lot more work with the welding and filing etc.
You could also fix it with a paintless dent removal approach. Machine a steel collar that fits inside the filler neck. A stout steel rod with a rounded end and appropriate bends is then inserted through the collar and the dents are levered out from the inside, prying against the collar.
I just bought 6 antique Oiler cans from an Indiana barn find. Most are dented and have old oil caked on the inside bottom. Thank you for the upload as I want to go through and restore maybe 4 of them. The other 2 will be left how they are because we will display the on the top shelf of our very country kitchen. Great job, great eye, and great attention to detail!
That's it! I know what I want to do when I retire. Restore antique tools! I have sat here for almost two hours watching these vids; they are so satisfying!!!Great craftsmanship as well!
love that you don't have music in the background of your videos. it always makes me feel like i am right there with you, watching you repair whatever it is that day. as always, amazing work. definitely the best restoration channel on youtube by far!
weird I wouldn't oil anything. I would probably start a restoration museum with all the stuff i restore. His work is beautiful enough to be art anyways.
I've seen many 'restoration' channels, but yours tops all of them. You're not just giving the parts a sanding and a fresh lick of paint, you're restoring parts to their original quality, and machining your own bolts or parts when they're beyond repair/missing. Keep it up, these videos are incredibly entertaining to watch
I watch your videos with my two year old son and he loves them all the way through. Your video editing skills are top notch. Quick cuts showing the process and close up pauses to show each part. These videos are a perfect balance between entertaining and educational which makes your channel stand out from the crowd. Continue to make quality content my friend!
@@Vetyhhhh Sure, and it was very satisfying to watch. More so than most things that can be bought with 5 bucks. Generally not an economically viable option, though. :D
Best therapeutic channel ever. Thanks so much for these videos. The only thing better than doing it yourself is to watch these amazing videos. No talking...just like I work in my own shop. I LOVE this channel.
Ben no i quite clearly get the joke. My point is i am tired of everybody saying he is the best at everything when he clearly isnt. The man is talented yes but not the best.
This is the absolute best restoration channel on YT. The real grabber is the attention to detail. Without uttering a word, this chap teaches with every project.
There's no such thing as "I'm watching TH-cam videos " but "I'm watching my_mechanics", as if it were a series and we don't want to miss an episode. And you're the best for the role. We should come up with a word that goes beyond passion because that's what we see here. The objects you restore are just as shiny as you.
@@jean-philippeberlencourt9367 Swiss seems correct, from the description and TH-cam page. A German friend described to me the Swiss as "the more German Germans".
I don't know but , I grew up with German machinist neighbors. I experienced personally the meticulous approach they had with everything they touched. Their cars, appliances, tools, toys- all in better condition used than when they bought them new (pre Chinese junk dats-- 60's).
I think it's simple. Clean them with the gritty soap, gloves when needed. Lotion for your hands when done. Signs of pride in being a professional, it's the tiny details, the tiny efforts.
This guy is the king in the game of restorers, who sits on the (very rusty) iron throne. What you do is art and videos strangely satisfying to watch, keep up the good work (and may the Lord of Light be with you).
Depuis que j’ai découvert votre chaîne, j’ai enchaîné tout ce que vous avez posté. Je trouve ce que vous faite tellement beau. Vous transformer ce que vous touchez en Œuvre d’Art !!! C’est absolument magnifique. Encore plus beau que l’original. Vous travaillez les détails qui ne l’étaient même pas à l’origine. C’est un vrai plaisir pour moi que de regarder votre travail ! Merci
I really enjoy watching you restore old things. The attention to details is fantastic. That oiler looks better than when it left the factory. Please get a TIG welder, you would enjoy that much more for those delicate jobs. The MIG is not the right tool for you.
I agree. Yes he's doing fine with the one he's using but I think with a tig once he starts playing with the tip and amperage of the tig he will be amazed what he can do with it. OH and nothing against My Mechanics job in the slightest .. WOW.. Nice job .. I wouldn't even put oil in it now
Cleans and polishes spring. Thats the moment I was like wow. Thats attention to detail. I would have washed the oil off, dried the spring and reused it. Its the little extra details ppl do that amaze me. Good job on the whole thing.
It is my hope that videos like yours will promote a more commonplace restorative mindset and an increase in the pursuit of necessary manual skills. At the end of a decent restoration you have not only done something very rewarding with your hands and helped the environment, but in many cases you end up with a desirable and superior product to today's more disposable versions. Many thanks - I want to restore something now - perhaps an old hand plane for starters! Cheers from Sydney, Aust
ich liebe diese Videos, zum Entspannen und aus Liebe zum Detail. Heute wird normalerweise alles sofort weggeworfen, was nicht mehr ansehnlich erscheint. Gerade alte und mechanische Gegenstände sind es wert, sie zu pflegen und zu erhalten...
Don't think this guy needs any tips from you, HTR. This guy has you beat on so many levels. The Swiss perfection is oozing out. Unless he needs a fucking lead paint test kit, of course. LOL
If I spent as many hours improving my skills as I do watching these videos, I’d be better at what I do, but then I wouldn’t get to appreciate a real Master at work. I don’t ever use that word lightly but this guy is a MASTER of his craft.
I read long ago British soldier's would get small dents in their canteen's they would empty the canteen and fill it to the brim with those white navy beans, then add some water slowly trying to keep solidly packed.Put on canteen cap tight and over night the beans will expand and pop out small dents from inside out. You can repeat process as needed.
I don't think that will work. The beans swell up, but the water shrinks down by an exactly equal amount. There won't be a change of volume. However, if the soaking beans are out-gassing that could effectively increase the volume. But I've never noticed beans bubbling when their soaking.
jhanthony2 well in that case bang goes the ancient practice of using poplar wood pegs to split large rocks by placing them in small fissures and soaking them until they expand.
But in that case you soak the peg AFTER you put it in the rock; you don't put a wet peg into the rock and expect to increase in size. If you soak a peg in water it will expand as long as it remains in the water; as soon as it is removed from the water and wiped off it stops expanding.I used to read similar stories about the clipper ships from the 19th century that were carrying rice. During storms the rice would get soaked, expand, and blow up the ship. I was skeptical.
Didn't Hanibal use salt in the rock cracks and then pour water on it? But in this case I would have made a tool to dent it back from the inside out instead using that weird spot welding device and still had to plaster it. Guess it was a tryout.
И снова захожу на этот канал и не важно, что он там чинит, важно с какой любовью, с каким трепетом он прикасается к каждой детали , и внимательно расматривает каждую щелочку и я вместе с ним ухожу куда то далеко в маленькую трещену и засыпаю сладким сном 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Just let you know that you are my favorite. It's not just a restoration but more like art. The art of making things beautiful. Thank you. It's a real pleasure to watch your videos
Excellent restoration. I find that restoring things make them look new again or make them look better than new is the most therapeutic thing a man can do.
I replayed that twice and still don't get it. It sounded like after the felt washer went in then the ball and the u shaped "thingy" just clanked like they fell in. I'm assuming they didn't because it pumped oil just fine. An unsolved mystery I have to live with lol
After thinking about it for a bit... it looks like a check valve that allows oil to be pulled up into the pump when the plunger is pushed out with the spring. The when you press the plunger back down, it closes the valve and oil is forced out the other tube to the tip which also has a check valve to keep the oil from being drawn back into the can. I am guessing the the 2 tubes meet inside the can somehow (you can just make out where they meet @3:02 and again @3:33). That's my guess.
Beautiful job . I would have liked to seen the body and fill tube chromed with the brass accents contrasting for optimal beauty. I always enjoy seeing used and abused tools brought back to usable beauty by someone who will treat them properly and pass them on to future generations . We the men who restore them salute you .
After restoration I would not let no one touch it LOL as a Antique collector I preserve these objects and if it,s in such a fabulous condition I will use to take a picture with it. I really admire the work you guys are doing
I'm not kidding when I say that you truly are a mechanical genius. I bet the only complaints you get are from jealous people that cannot do the kind of work you do and from people like me that want more and more videos. You are a Rusty Rock God.
Ich habe es im letzten Video schon gesagt - es macht echt Spaß, Dir zuzusehen und die liebe zum Detail ist echt der Hammer! Ich freue mich schon auf das nächste Video.

This is the absolute best restoration channel on YT. The real grabber is the attention to detail. Without uttering a word, this chap teaches with every project.
Thanks a lot for beeing here :-)
There's no such thing as "I'm watching TH-cam videos " but "I'm watching my_mechanics", as if it were a series and we don't want to miss an episode. And you're the best for the role. We should come up with a word that goes beyond passion because that's what we see here.
The objects you restore are just as shiny as you.
Thank you Ponina :-) always nice to read your comments
As shiny as those fingernails seem to always be 🤔 baffles me every time
@@stevenmorris3698 I know...his hands look better than mine 😢😂
He freakin' polished the inside!
Of course
@@simonwinterstein348 I haven't checked exactly which city, but I'm really sure he is Swiss.
@@jean-philippeberlencourt9367 Swiss seems correct, from the description and TH-cam page. A German friend described to me the Swiss as "the more German Germans".
I don't know but , I grew up with German machinist neighbors. I experienced personally the meticulous approach they had with everything they touched. Their cars, appliances, tools, toys- all in better condition used than when they bought them new (pre Chinese junk dats-- 60's).
The triangle file! The detail You put in your work is outstanding! I'm literally amazed at every project you take on. As always well done you! 👏
It's amazing that it didn't take long for the engineer to fix this. It contained fewer parts to replace or even revamp.
What amazed me the most, is that your hands still clean as a surgeon
I noticed that too. He should do a little bonus at the end of one of his videos where he shows his hand washing procedure.
I think it's simple. Clean them with the gritty soap, gloves when needed. Lotion for your hands when done. Signs of pride in being a professional, it's the tiny details, the tiny efforts.
Cleanliness. Its one of the first things a Swiss "mécanicien de précision" learns, when he begins his apprenticeship...
@@TheTekknician i love nivea cream :-)
This guy is the king in the game of restorers, who sits on the (very rusty) iron throne. What you do is art and videos strangely satisfying to watch, keep up the good work (and may the Lord of Light be with you).
What do you mean by rusty? That throne would be the most buffed, polished , and shiniest throne ever
Depuis que j’ai découvert votre chaîne, j’ai enchaîné tout ce que vous avez posté.
Je trouve ce que vous faite tellement beau. Vous transformer ce que vous touchez en Œuvre d’Art !!!
C’est absolument magnifique. Encore plus beau que l’original. Vous travaillez les détails qui ne l’étaient même pas à l’origine. C’est un vrai plaisir pour moi que de regarder votre travail !
Merci
You never disappoint me. I was wondering how you were going to get the dents out of the can. Ingenious. Another masterpiece.
In my entire life, I’ve never ONCE been excited about an oil can- until just now. Unbelievable. 👍
I feel the same way Kirt.🙂
Я понял в чем магия. Треп уже всем надоел и настоящие звуки вкупе с уникальным трудом это то что нужно! Браво
It would be nice to see you using it in your next videos to lubricate parts when you're machining them, using the lathe or something else…
He uses the Gressel vice, so there is precedent.
And the air die grinder!
@@MediocreHexPeddler YAAASSSS
@@MediocreHexPeddler the gressel vice was actually for a customer I believe, the one he uses was given to him by gressel after his vice video :)
Uma obra de arte👍👍👍
Some videos over the Internet are worth revisiting from time to time and this one is definitely among them. Thanks!
I really enjoy watching you restore old things. The attention to details is fantastic. That oiler looks better than when it left the factory. Please get a TIG welder, you would enjoy that much more for those delicate jobs. The MIG is not the right tool for you.
@@michaelrice500 and messy as hell you need gas
I agree. Yes he's doing fine with the one he's using but I think with a tig once he starts playing with the tip and amperage of the tig he will be amazed what he can do with it.
OH and nothing against My Mechanics job in the slightest .. WOW.. Nice job .. I wouldn't even put oil in it now
Cleans and polishes spring. Thats the moment I was like wow. Thats attention to detail. I would have washed the oil off, dried the spring and reused it. Its the little extra details ppl do that amaze me. Good job on the whole thing.
Genius idea with the grinding stones and the lathe.
Grinding dust in your oil can. Hmmmm
large ball bearings inside may have taken the dents out,lathe great idea.
The grinding stones inside on a slow turning lathe nearly had me in tears. Brilliant move.
I have never seen an oil can (except in a store) that didn't have dents in it. And I've seen a lot of them in my life.
MORE THAN PERFECT RESTORATION.
It is my hope that videos like yours will promote a more commonplace restorative mindset and an increase in the pursuit of necessary manual skills. At the end of a decent restoration you have not only done something very rewarding with your hands and helped the environment, but in many cases you end up with a desirable and superior product to today's more disposable versions. Many thanks - I want to restore something now - perhaps an old hand plane for starters! Cheers from Sydney, Aust
A cup of coffee along with watching this is a relaxing start to a sunday morning.
Same here:)
Also me!!
Yep. same here
I unknowingly joined the club!
I don't drink coffee ;-)
You have the patience of a saint. I love the fact that you bring the past back to life. Amazing. I think you found your calling in life. Don't stop.
Our swiss Ambassadeur of precision & craftsmanship
ich liebe diese Videos, zum Entspannen und aus Liebe zum Detail. Heute wird normalerweise alles sofort weggeworfen, was nicht mehr ansehnlich erscheint. Gerade alte und mechanische Gegenstände sind es wert, sie zu pflegen und zu erhalten...
Noice! Quick tip, you can probably remove the threaded portions of the can by heating up the solder used to attach it. Might be easier to clean then.
That would probaly end up in a mess i guess. I didn't had the right die for these threads anyway. Thank you :-)
And that's another way to skin a cat i guess ... ;-)
Don't think this guy needs any tips from you, HTR. This guy has you beat on so many levels. The Swiss perfection is oozing out. Unless he needs a fucking lead paint test kit, of course. LOL
@@martinlumber We do very different things. I was just trying to share some knowledge, sorry.
I appreciate your comments man HTR and always nice to see you here :-)
If I spent as many hours improving my skills as I do watching these videos, I’d be better at what I do, but then I wouldn’t get to appreciate a real
Master at work. I don’t ever use that word lightly but this guy is a MASTER of his craft.
When tools pray to go to heaven this is where they are talking about
He restoreth all!
Reincarnation more like!
Haha truth 😁
Can we get an Amen
@@yusufdawood1426 AMEN!
I read long ago British soldier's would get small dents in their canteen's they would empty the canteen and fill it to the brim with those white navy beans, then add some water slowly trying to keep solidly packed.Put on canteen cap tight and over night the beans will expand and pop out small dents from inside out. You can repeat process as needed.
I should fill my dented Hyundai Accent.
I don't think that will work. The beans swell up, but the water shrinks down by an exactly equal amount. There won't be a change of volume. However, if the soaking beans are out-gassing that could effectively increase the volume. But I've never noticed beans bubbling when their soaking.
jhanthony2 well in that case bang goes the ancient practice of using poplar wood pegs to split large rocks by placing them in small fissures and soaking them until they expand.
But in that case you soak the peg AFTER you put it in the rock; you don't put a wet peg into the rock and expect to increase in size. If you soak a peg in water it will expand as long as it remains in the water; as soon as it is removed from the water and wiped off it stops expanding.I used to read similar stories about the clipper ships from the 19th century that were carrying rice. During storms the rice would get soaked, expand, and blow up the ship. I was skeptical.
Didn't Hanibal use salt in the rock cracks and then pour water on it? But in this case I would have made a tool to dent it back from the inside out instead using that weird spot welding device and still had to plaster it. Guess it was a tryout.
Смотрю и кайфую! Такое эстетическое удовольствие. Великолепная работа!
That's what I'm saryin'!
Выглядит красиво но, этот канал из серии залива всё и вся эпоксидными смолами и т.д.
Проще заново отлить, чем так восстанавливать
Очковтирательство это все!!
@@КостяС-о8й 😐
И снова захожу на этот канал и не важно, что он там чинит, важно с какой любовью, с каким трепетом он прикасается к каждой детали , и внимательно расматривает каждую щелочку и я вместе с ним ухожу куда то далеко в маленькую трещену и засыпаю сладким сном 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I love it when this guy shows you all the parts restored and ready to be reassembled !
Absolute perfection. Your patience and attention to detail is incredible.
Well, My Mechanics is from Switzerland; so the Swiss naturally have a high level of patience and a meticulous attention to detail.
There is no way he is going to polish that spring
*proceeds to polish spring*
God dammit
I thought that exactly, like cmon bro you really had to do it to the spring
insane
Came here to say this! Polished a spring!?
Laura Warner How da hell did you read my thoughts?
I thought the same thing. 😉
666 quick someone like it
Just let you know that you are my favorite. It's not just a restoration but more like art. The art of making things beautiful. Thank you. It's a real pleasure to watch your videos
Nice to hear that, thank you very much :-)
I can’t believe how much I enjoyed this video. The most simple and yet the most enjoyable I’ve seen. Great resto on that thing! Awesome video
I have never seen time stamps labeled before. Not only is your work perfection, but your editing is too. Another great video.
After that restoration, I would have used that to dispense Olive Oil for salads and what not.
Ya
I mean, it is an “oil” dispenser. I guess any type of oil will do.
Zach Jones except oil itself
My thought exactly...
@@Kwaj It could be fun at parties!
polite gentleman that swiss bloke is...you thanking us for watching...we thank you for giving us this splendid experience
Excellent work! Like a piece of jewellery. Great video too, no chatter, no irritating music, great editing.
I would have never imagined how those dents were removed, that tool is very clever.
Again.... love how you lay out the pieces in the right order... that is a unique touch.
Excellent job. It looks like it was made just right now. Doesn't look restored at all. Level of perfection is infinity.
Excellent restoration. I find that restoring things make them look new again or make them look better than new is the most therapeutic thing a man can do.
Am I the only one who would like to see how the ballbearing and parts actually went back together.
Great video 👍🏻
I replayed that twice and still don't get it. It sounded like after the felt washer went in then the ball and the u shaped "thingy" just clanked like they fell in. I'm assuming they didn't because it pumped oil just fine. An unsolved mystery I have to live with lol
@@joanncrefasi9458 I wondered the same thing, how did he know that the U=shaped thing went into position correctly? I want to know its function.
After thinking about it for a bit... it looks like a check valve that allows oil to be pulled up into the pump when the plunger is pushed out with the spring. The when you press the plunger back down, it closes the valve and oil is forced out the other tube to the tip which also has a check valve to keep the oil from being drawn back into the can. I am guessing the the 2 tubes meet inside the can somehow (you can just make out where they meet @3:02 and again @3:33). That's my guess.
Jo Ann Crefasi those were items that were “buried” there. He just put them back to let them again RIP.
Your channel is by far the best of the best restoration channels! You do amazing next level work!
Beautiful job . I would have liked to seen the body and fill tube chromed with the brass accents contrasting for optimal beauty. I always enjoy seeing used and abused tools brought back to usable beauty by someone who will treat them properly and pass them on to future generations . We the men who restore them salute you .
Thanks a lot for watching :-)
After restoration I would not let no one touch it LOL as a Antique collector I preserve these objects and if it,s in such a fabulous condition I will use to take a picture with it. I really admire the work you guys are doing
No kidding! Last thing you want is for some jerk to fill it with a bunch of nasty old oil. : )
Why are you so nasty or is that the way your life is treating you or is it a lack of EDUCATION
NO WAY! Put that sucker to work, let it do what it was designed to due, and just be the most fabulous working oil can on the planet...
I can understand both sides. To let it perform its original role or to be a nice decor piece.
I think things are meant to be used. If this can was never used, it would never need to be restored!
The tin man would be proud!
I can't be the only that thinks that the metals look sexy af when they're buffed. That shine!
You perv
S h i n y
@@mukahschiffer156 bruh my dog is more of a perv -__-
I'm not kidding when I say that you truly are a mechanical genius. I bet the only complaints you get are from jealous people that cannot do the kind of work you do and from people like me that want more and more videos. You are a Rusty Rock God.
Thank you very much, I really do appreciate it :-)
Every time it is more than a pleasure to watch a new episode from you .. Thanks
damn, after i found this channel i finally understood what is a high level restoration. Really satisfying video.
Ich habe es im letzten Video schon gesagt - es macht echt Spaß, Dir zuzusehen und die liebe zum Detail ist echt der Hammer! Ich freue mich schon auf das nächste Video.
