Antique Dented Oiler - Perfect Restoration
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 พ.ค. 2024
- In this video i'm restoring an antique dented oiler.
My friend found this oiler in the steel waste at the recycling station. I really liked the unique design of it and I bought it from him for $5. It almost had no rust, but it was very dirty and had a lot of dents. The tricky part of this restoration was definitely the removing of all the dents in the can. I want to say thank you to my friend who helped me with this and to his boss, who allowed him to use the tools from his work place. I'm very happy how it turned out and I really like the new look of the oiler. I'll keep this oiler in my shop and I'm going to use it from now on.
I hope you like my work and the video.

Seriously? This guy has the patience of a saint!
I think the same!
😂😂😂
Welcome to Europe.
That’s because he is a saint
It's called seeking views.
The reason i love this channel is that he does everything properly. Even with the painstaking details, he takes the time to do it right and that's why the finished products are always superb. Great work mate
Except wear gloves while using a lathe. Doesnt have to, but its a good idea.
like remaking the knurling... and I thought I was a swiss perfectionist.
I think I know the reason why. He’s german.
Same
If you're going to do something do it properly or don't bother doing it at all.
It’s so cute coming back and watching this and realizing this is the oil can he uses in so many videos and the fact that not only does he restore these things to works of art but they’re functional pieces that he uses and it’s just so impressive 🥰
In awe of his strategic approach, knowledge of materials, skill in handling a variety of hand/power tools, and documentation of the recovery process. These videos are a treasure and should be archived for current and future generations to see and understand the art of craftsmanship.
hmm very nice comment

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
Simple_City lol
Hentai hehe
Have you ever seen the wizard of Oz, the tin man literally needs one to live! Lmao!
Squirt
Same. I don't understand how he resisted the urge to give a few dry test squirts immediately after reassembling.
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.
They don’t make oilers like that no more, you buy the oil in the can and when you’re done you throw it out.
@@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.
@@monzy2 I'll bet you are loads of fun at parties.
I'd display it as an ornament 😃
At least more than you it seems
Everybody gangsta 'till he remakes the knurling with a triangle file

I dunno why I'm saying this but I don't think I've ever seen a better paint finish than this. Absolutely flawless. Beautiful restoration
I mean, there's definitely "better" finishes out there, but this is the best finish I've seen on a freakin oiler! 😂
Is he going to put oil in it? Isn't he going to try it out? OMG HE IS!!! THE MADMAN IS DOING IT!!!
If I restored that oiler, I'd be oiling everything that moved.
Bubba Thedog or things that didn’t move
@@cchimozmin That's brilliant! Well done. ~ ;:o)
Stay back!
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.
@@Kaodusanya It's actually better than art...art is static and useless...this has function.
This has to be one of my absolute favorite projects of yours. Amazing work.
Thank you very much :-)
Holy heck hi
@@philswaim392 👋😁 hiya! Always happy to see good folk in the comments ☺️
Ok. But this dude just polished a spring you won't even see. That's dedication to the project and his craft. No cutting corners.
Thanks, I'm glad you like it :-)
Be warned, once you start watching, you cannot stop. Exquisite work! Pleasure to watch the Masterpiece unfold. Sure tells you a lot of why back then, Craftsmanship was of such high quality.
Dead on.....cannot stop watching these restoring videos. Now my 10 year old is hooked too
Gotta support them by watching all ads till the end. It's not alot to ask for 30/45 seconds of my time in order for him to get paid.
The thing better on the video is the music!!! Lol!!!
@@user-no3tu9kh3p The best part of the video is the music!!! jejejejeje
Good point 😁👌
I really appreciate the sounds. Much better than music or commentary.
Alan Fred agreed. The dubbed in music on a lot of these videos (don’t know about this channel) are annoying. This was nice to watch and listen to the work being done!
Couldent agree more. To mqny vids are ruined with music! I would rather have the sounds of the workshop any day
@@richcampoverde I sometimes think they put in music , because they lack the focus and dedication to acquire the skills and desire to do this quality work.
@@als1023 agreed! That and they probably stole the vid and put music on it so hide the owners identity
River churnet Umm... or they know so people don’t like the sounds? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
I'm pretty sure this is the most beautiful oil can I have ever seen.
Смотрю такие видео перед сном ! Потому что как то спокойнее становится и засыпаю
Эти реставрации действуют как снотворное. Или это как кошке погладить по голове. Мурчат они от этого и жмурятся от удовольствия 😁
same here lol
Me too!
#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!
Silent002 exactly the same as me the dent remover and that file are two things ive never seen before
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.
I am simply speechless! Polish the spring? Refile the Knurling??????????
And the buffing...better than perfect!
Thank you for uploading!
It never ceases to amaze me how you turn ordinary everyday objects into legit works of art!
Thanks for watching, much appreciated
The grinding stones inside on a slow turning lathe nearly had me in tears. Brilliant move.
Out of all the others on youtube that like to label their vids as " restorations " - THIS guy understands what the word restoration MEANS.
I love no corny musica, no boring commentary just real dedication and attention to every minute detail. Thank you!
"I mean it's not like he's gonna be able to do much restoration on the inside of the container that you can't disassemble.."
*removes all the rust from the inside*
nothing special, if you have for example an old fuel tank of a motorcycle.
But then you don't use a Lathe but a concrete mixer ;)
*WHERE’S YOUR GOD NOW?!*
Shall we say “lovingly restored” to this magnificent work? There is a tremendous amount of care that went into this.
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).
Every time when I see notification of your videos, I always know my next half hour is sorted. Cheers from Korea. Nice one as always!
But the video is only 12 min long.
@@Amplefii again and again and again
Amplefi oh haha true that, i was thinking of his other videos. You know what the average is like..😂
you guys have blunts in korea?
Some videos over the Internet are worth revisiting from time to time and this one is definitely among them. Thanks!
It's amazing that it didn't take long for the engineer to fix this. It contained fewer parts to replace or even revamp.
I just love how the videos are blissfully absent talking and music. Thank you for that. 👍
Thank you for watching? No man, thank you for posting! ;)
Probably the best restoration channel out there! The details makes the difference.
No probably about it - it is THE best :) (Well that I´ve come across anyway :p)
TheJR1948 uhm what do you mean
@@olm0 don't feed the trolls ;-)
@@mymechanics hahaha ..exactly!
You never disappoint me. I was wondering how you were going to get the dents out of the can. Ingenious. Another masterpiece.
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 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.
I couldn't agree more. He is the only who will remanufacture a part to the smallest detail and completely repair even the surface. It sets him apart
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.
Yes, even restoring the inside! Dedication indeed!

The sound of tools being used is the music by itself.
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 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
honestly this guy should be his own show on the history channel, not that TH-cam isn't amazing
Guarantee it didn’t even look that good when it was brand new.
I agree 100% with you. It probably looks much better than when it was new. Thumb up "my mechanics".
Then again, new one costs about $5...
Rex yeah and got 2 mil views so i think its worth it
@@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
@@atklm1 If it's worth doing, it's worth doing it purely for the cash. No, wait...
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.
How does this work when the body of the item itself is steel...?
@@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.
Love how this little can is now being used as well beautiful job ❤
How do people get the idea that engineering has nothing to do with art. The truth is art is at the foundation of good engineering no matter how humble the object might be. Beautiful restoration Sir.
The dent puller is the most genius tool in the history of tools
It's nice to have yes
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!
The attention to detail on this channel is really a pleasure to watch.
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.
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!

Very interesting 'dent puller' you have there! Great skill in welding up pinholes also! 👍🏆
Outstanding job! Cant wait to watch more videos from this great craftsman
Wow, I've never seen that method of dent pulling.
They use it a lot on bodywork
that genuinely scared me to watch
What's the tool called?
I've seen someone use a dildo for car dents; but never that kind of medieval torture device.
@@_.-._.-. a dildo? At least that thing actually looks like it's supposed to pull out dents
In my entire life, I’ve never ONCE been excited about an oil can- until just now. Unbelievable. 👍
I feel the same way Kirt.🙂
Excellent job. It looks like it was made just right now. Doesn't look restored at all. Level of perfection is infinity.
There can be so much functional beauty in a simply quality-made item like this. Congratulations.
absolutely right sir
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...

Why not more o-rings though?
with silicone is possible

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.
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!
And yet another 11 out of 10. Nobody does it better. Fantastic work!
Wow. I love this shade of green. Beautiful restoration.
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
A cup of coffee along with watching this is a relaxing start to a sunday morning.
