1960,s Vintage Fyrside Australian Heater Restoration

- Hello and welcome folks.
Behold the stunning transformation of an Australian Vintage 1960's Fyrside Kerosene Heater, once lost under layers of paint and rust, but now resurrected to its former glory! This magnificent restoration project has breathed new life into an iconic piece of Australian history, paying homage to the craftsmanship of a bygone era.
In its neglected state, the Fyrside Kerosene Heater was a mere shadow of its former self, with its natural beauty obscured by unsightly paint, however as a passionate restorer I refused to let time erase the heater's charm and embarked on a very labour-intensive journey to restore its original lustre.
Countless hours of dedication were poured into meticulously stripping away the paint, revealing the vintage heater's true character beneath. With patience and unwavering commitment, I delicately restored each intricate detail and metal surface, removing imperfections and scratches that marred its initial elegance.
The restoration process, though challenging, was nothing short of a labour of love. In the relentless pursuit of authenticity it led me to craft a brand-new gasket seal with the precision of a laser cutter. This newfound mastery in engineering not only added functionality to the vintage masterpiece but also allowed the heater to perform at its peak efficiency once more.
As the layers of paint vanished, the Fyrside Kerosene Heater's natural state emerged, a testament to its timeless design. The rich patina, a result of years of use, became a story etched into the heater's surface, a testimony to the warmth it once provided to generations past.
Every crevice of the Fyrside Kerosene Heater was meticulously inspected and restored with utmost care, resulting in a breath taking revival of its original craftsmanship. The rejuvenated heater now stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of vintage Australian design and a tribute to bringing it back to life.
With its fresh paint and vibrant patina, the Australian Vintage 1960's Fyrside Kerosene Heater is now ready to reclaim its place as the centrepiece of any space it graces. A fusion of function and artistry, this restored gem is more than just a heater; it's a glimpse into history, an ode to passion, and a celebration of a treasured Australian legacy.

Hello everyone. Thanks for stopping in to leave a comment. Your support is always very much appreciated. This project was a massive undertaking and I'm glad it's finished. If anyone has anything they would like to see more of please leave a comment 👍
Hi i am from Brisbane but living in china. I have an old rusty sword that was found in the riverbank. I will bring it home within the next 12 months. Can I contact you about restoring it? I can also look around for some unusual items to restore and bring them back too as we will send a container of furniture home.
Has to be one of the best restorations i have seen on here
Thanks very much that's very kind of you to say 👍
I'm 62, Friday and Saturday in winter with that very heater , watching Bill Collins Golden Years of Hollywood on a black and white TV , and Mum cooking bacon or popcorn in a pot on the heater for late night snacks , thanks for bringing back some wonderful memories 😁
Thanks Ross, what a wonderful memory. Thanks for sharing it with everyone. Old Bill Collins now that's another fond memory. Your mum sounded like a champion making snacks on the heater. I don't think we ever did that but it's such a great idea 👍
Only 19 minutes 59 seconds but many technicals. Awesome!
Thank you KongRestoration yes there was so much to try and fit in from over 130 hours of work.
3:06 YOOOOOO I never knew how cool it is to watch paint being bubbled off in a time lapse! That’s so cool and creepy I love it
It's amazing isn't it. It was great watching it in real time also, especially compared to previous paint stripper I had been using that took up to 12hrs to work.
I loved the restoration, it was amazing. The small details are that you painted the screws too, wonderful.
Thanks for watching King, much appreciated. I'm glad you enjoyed it. With all my work it's all about the small detail like that. Please check out some of my other work.
@@Austeration Definitely I will check them out too. 😊
The silver edge and the whole restoration... just perfect!
Welcome to my channel Johanna. I appreciate you watching and leaving a comment. Please take a look at some of my other work when you have time
oh childhood memories..... a special warmth and the aroma of kero ...hahaha .... great restore .. and I really like the silver strip edging... classy!
Thank you Chris, I don't know how we all managed to stand the smell of Kero. I got it going in the house after I finished it and instantly got a headache 🤪 I think the silver strip is there to stay now. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 👍
@@Austeration ... my aunt's home was an odd mix of kero and perfume ... something that is instantly a trip down memory lane!
Brilliant! And a cracking little fire/cooker 💯 💯

Excellent restoration
Thank you very much Menino
This brings back memories……fetching paraffin from the vending machine in the dark was one of my chores as a very young kid!…😂
Thanks for watching and sharing your memories Chris. 👍
That turned out beautiful. The brass work is stunning. Very nice restoration.
Cheers Ivan. Polished brass is something I love to do. This was one of my favorite projects.
@@Austeration it turned out beautiful.
Wonderful job. Chrome ..the best way.
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Due to popular demand the trim is staying Silver and I tend to agree.
Wow a memory I never knew I had unlocked!
Thanks for watching Wayne. Please share with others who might have the same memory 😀
Outstanding!
Thanks very much Chuck 👍
Great restoration. 👍👍
Thanks Masi, by the way I love your 3D logo
Excellent !!!
Thanks very much Rob, always appreciated 👍
Fantastic..I remember them old Kero heaters they were good..
Thanks for watching Brian. I think everyone must of had one of these back in the day. At least now I can keep my workshop warm.
Truth be told, I have enjoyed them all. The complete restoration of the fyrside heater, was fantastic. Looking forward to more. Ozwald.
Thank you Oswald, I appreciate your ongoing support. 👍
Great comparison between the 2 paint strippers. You made it look so easy but I am sure it took many, many hours to get all those parts so shiny. The final shot of it lightning up with the pinkish red glow was just magnificent... Amazing work... well done 👍👍👍
Thanks very much buddy 👍 you are correct, just getting that shiny dish took over a week to get all the dents out and polish it. Glad you enjoyed it
Nice restoration. I like the silver trim piece.
Thanks for watching Sam and leaving a comment, much appreciated.
Really cool restoration.
Thank you very much for that 👍
That's Amazing !
Thank you very much 👍
Now THAT'S a proper restoration! You really smashed it out the park with this one. The final product is 👌👌👌That paint colour too! 😍Amazing!
Thanks RestoreMore, much appreciated and welcome to my channel. I try to keep everything as original as possible, this was the closest colour I could find to it. Please check out some of my other projects when you have time
@@Austeration My man this ain't my first rodeo on this channel! I'm a seasoned veteran 😎 Original is best for sure! but sometimes you gotta MIX IT UP!
@@RestoreMore oh that's good to hear then thank you. Must be the first time you commented maybe, well that's what it's showing me anyway.
@@Austeration Yeah I believe so buddy! Keep up the good work 👌🏻
@@RestoreMore cheers for that and thanks again for your ongoing support
What a stunner you turned that heater into!
Thanks for your support Artemis, glad you enjoyed it 👍
I remember lying in front of one of these as a kid. It was so warm and the smell of the kero induced a kind of trance like state.
Thanks for watching Jason. I hope the trance like state was not carbon monoxide poisoning at the time. I fully understand what you mean though. I could sit and watch the glow for hours. Please check out some of my other videos or share this one with someone else that might remember them 👍
I grew up with this form of heating in our bungalow. Our heater was almost exactly the same as yours. Filling the glass bottle with kero from the drum in the backyard was my job.
The restoration work is perfect. I thought the rusty chrome was beyond saving but you proved me wrong. Amazing work and thanks for a trip down memory lane again buddy.
Thanks very much shedman, when I spotted it I thought how many of these old pieces have I seen sitting around rusting so I had to do something about it. Filling the bottle was my job also. We had a 20ltr drum in the shed with a plastic tap on the bottom. The tap was always hard to turn off and on so I would often struggle to turn it off before it was running down the sides 😆 I also thought that chrome piece was going to be a major issue, I can't believe how well it turned out my self 👍 Glad it triggered some memories for you 😀
We had a similar model Fireside in the mid 1960's, ours had a cylindrical metal container to hold the Kero. Dad used to send me up to the Hardware store to buy the Kero by the pint from a large drum I think it was a one-gallon container I took to fill which was poured into a five-gallon drum in the shed complete with tap. That was my job as a ten-year-old, keep the old Kero heater supplied with Kero in winter, was paid around two bob a week pocket money for that and mowing the lawn.
@@gordonscott528 thanks for sharing your story Gordon. It sounds like so many of us had the same job and similar upbringing. Appreciate you watching.
@@Austeration Yes mate sometimes we look at the past through rose-coloured glasses , I came from a large family with Mum & Dad both working hard, we all had our jobs around the house, it taught us responsibility and to get in there and help. Had a happy childhood and can still smell that old Kero heater, great restoration on what was a common appliance back then.
Awesome!
Thank you very much 👍
Professional restoration. Bravo!!!👍
Thank you Sir, Very much appreciated
This brought back so many memories I’m a late 60’s kid and my granny had one of these. I could almost smell the kerosene! I was always fascinated watching the mesh brighten and glow and being allowed to refil the bottle over your sisters and cousins was a score. Thank you.
Thanks for watching and sharing your story Mandy. I'm glad it brought back some memories for you. I was much the same, I would watch the mesh glow also. Appreciate your comments 👍
Great job
Thank you lescrooge 👍
I was born in 1963 these things kept us so warm in the lounge room then we would rush off to a cold bed wake in the morning and it was on we would get dressed for school the Kero heater was turned off then we went to school
On occasion when we got home a neighbour would of come into our house and cooked dinner left it on the stove top no one locked their doors back then ❤
Thanks for watching and sharing your story Micky. Nothing worse than climbing into that cold bed. I was happy when mum got the old Hot water bottles out. Sounds like you had good neighbours. Those were the days being able to leave the doors unlocked. Please share this video with others who might have the same memories 👍
We had great neighbours, unfortunately my sister burnt herself when a hot water bottle burst so cold bed for us
@@mickyd63 that was always the danger with those things. We couldn't have an electric blanket though. Hope your sister was ok
@@Austeration she was sorry and sore a bit of scarring a family story now
@@mickyd63 I can imagine it is 👍
Qué gran trabajo!!! Has convertido una chatarra, en una estufa nueva!!! Felicitaciones!!!
Thanks very much for watching Jose 😃 please check out some of my other projects
Almost looks new again!! You did a great job restoring it!!!!
I enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Thank you Oneshot, this project just took forever to complete. Thanks for the thumbs up 👍
@@Austeration You're welcome!! Yeah it looked like it would have taken time to finish. You did a great job on it though
@@oneshotme thank for your ongoing support I always look forward to hearing from you 😁
We had that exact heater growing up as a kid in my family, you nailed every piece of your restoration, paint colour etc and from memory the stripping was silver ,,,,,,,, wow that brought back memories. Kero heaters were really popular once apon a time lol. As a kid I used to like watching the mesh and coil glow red hot......... easy to entertain back then eh lol
Thanks for watching and sharing your story Garry. I think a lot of us kids back then liked the glow of the mesh, funny how we all did the same. 👍👍👍👍
Wow! New, once again. Nice job!
(You did right to leave that trim silver. 👍🏻)
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment Vbee, very much appreciate. I'm glad I kept it silver now also. Please check out some of my other projects when you have time. This is one of my favorites. th-cam.com/video/MfJExYarEhU/w-d-xo.html
I grew up with these heaters too. The old kero heater, it stunk up the room but was a great heater.
Thanks for sharing Larry. They did a marvelous job didn't they. 👍
Amazing 😊
Thanks craftingtoys 👍
well done!
Thank you very much 😃
Absolutely amazing , better than ever . You leave me speechless ,which is near impossible .so many different things to do . Now I fancy an orange juice for some reason...
Thanks buddy, I hope your not speechless. There was so much to do on this one, took forever. Not what you expected, sorry no juice this time lol 😃
I've commented before and I'll say it again, you paint well. You didn't let us down on this project. Excellent restoration.
Thanks John that is much appreciated. I'm struggling at the moment to find the time to put into massive projects like this so I hope you will still watch some of my next videos.
Perfect job. The last moment is marvelous . Many thanks
Thank you very much for watching Ilya, what did you like best about the last moments ? Please check out some of my other project when you have time 😃
@@Austeration hello. The way it started shiing in the dark. Red.
@@ilyazubok5392 thank you for your reply. I love hearing comments like this, it makes all the effort so much more worth while 😊
My Old Man owned one of these Fireside Heater's, the very same actual model you restored here !.... Purchased in the early 1970's, He used to make me or one of my other brother's run down to the local garage and fill up a can full of Kerosene fuel.
He would alway's have it going throughout Winter.....and he still had it when he passed away in May 2019.
Thanks for sharing your story Andrew. I'm sorry for your loss. Others have also commented with similar stories. It would seem as kids it was our responsibility to either fetch the Kerosene or fill the bottle. Your father must have loved his if he used it for all those years. Good memories.
@@AusterationMy old man was one of those that thought he had breeded 5 remote control's, as we one of the last people on our Street to purchase a colour TV, So every time he had finished what he wanted to watch ! He would tell one of us children to turn it to another channel !
They used to say a man's home is his castle, but never add the children are the slaves before the invention of the remote control's
A very hard man with a Scottish Irish Ancestral Folk background, a strong work ethic also an ex motorcycle professional racer having raced the Isle of man circuit for years and an ex- Korean war veteran who arrived at the very beginning, but badly wounded only 2 months before the end of that conflict and who couldn't read or write.
.
@@andrewlerdard-dickson5201 sounds like he had a busy life. No wonder he was stern having to deal with some of those events. It would have been very hard for him. I bet you kids all did as your told then. I use to like being the one to change the channel. I thought it was amazing when we would visit relatives and they had a remote with a cable running to the tv.
@@Austeration Oh yes he indeed was very hard core As he actually was a sergeant in the Armoured Corp's.... and was hit in the head by shrapnel and was left remaining in his skull as a war souvenir ! The size of a 50cent piece...His military service book said he was a excellent soldier that could go a bit troublesome and a rouge at time's.
Who was citated for the Military Medal, but never received it for hitting an officer over the head with an adjustable spanner ! Who was typically was very short and bad tempered.
But who knew a lot about motor mechanic's....As that was his family Bible and taught us boy's a trick or two on motor cars and bikes.
And his only repeated words of wisdom, was " Use Your F,ing common sense " !
@@andrewlerdard-dickson5201 unfortunately there is no such thing as common sense anymore. Your lucky you had it drummed into you. Kids to day have no idea.
Fantastic
Thank you, glad you liked it
I was very surprised and never expected to see the chrome / nickel come back to such a nice finish, it looks like new and unmolested to me, great job brother.
I grew up in the era of these heaters, there would be at least one in every home, usually shut down before bed time. It's not really the sort of thing you'd want to keep you warm in an enclosed space. It was considered moderately safe at the time, nowadays if your insurance company caught you with one of them, they would give you the stink eye and cancel your policy.
Thanks for watching. I was very surprised also with the Chrome. I wasn't sure what I was going to do if it didn't. I agree I think everyone had one of these heaters. The smell does get to you after a little while. I'll be using this one to keep my shed a bit warmer in winter. Your probably correct about the insurance company's though. Appreciate your comments. Please check out some of my other projects 👍
Чудова робота!
Thank you very much 👍
Lovely work, I've never seen one with a glass fuel tank.
Thank you for watching Tony, very much appreciated. What type of fuel tanks have you seen. I have only ever seen glass ones.
Hermoso trabajo! En lo personal me gusta más el borde cromado, combina con las otras partes de la estufa. Saludos!
Thanks Daniel. I completely agree with you and I'm glad I kept it silver also. Appreciate your support 👍
gracias daniel Estoy completamente de acuerdo contigo y me alegro de haberlo dejado plateado también. agradezco tu apoyo

Thanks Mike, that's very kind of you to say. I appreciate your comment. If you are new to my channel please check out some of my other projects and help spread the word 😁
@@Austeration your welcome anytime my good freind and I’ll spread the word for sure
Excellent work as always! I want to commend you not only on your work but the fact that you do not make the item look worse then it is in the beginning. So many restoration channels use fake mud, rust, corrosion and I have even see live grass and plants used to make it look like they were dug out of a garden! When I see rust in your videos there is the accompanying pitting of real rust. Keep up the fine work for those of us who know nonsense when we see it.
Thanks for that comment Don, that means a lot to me and is much appreciated. I don't understand those fake mud channels but people seem to love them. I was actually thinking of doing a parody video with a brand new screwdriver covered in 100 years of mud 🤣 but I just can't bring my self to do it.
You’re welcome. Yep, 95% of the comments are positive in those videos, I don’t get it either. Hahaha, that would be funny. Keep up the good work.
@@donhopf Cheers Don, I'll do my best
60+ years old and still working, no more landfill, amazing work 👍 keep it up

Hi, Mikky here, from the UK--(on his wife's computer.....shhh!!)--and Ime sure we had a version of that type of fire over here, we were in Scotland at the time.
I distinctly remember having to ''trim the wick''--(as I was the oldest, whilst dad was away with the RAF at various times)--AND having to go get the Paraffin for it, on my bicycle, in the winter.
The Paraffin was 'Esso Blue', and I remember the 'trimmer' had two smallish half circles on it to trim the wick with.
It maybe had a small fuel type tank at the rear.
Not sure if it wasn't called ''The Valiant' or some such name, or if that was another Paraffin heater we had too, with a long funnel on it, with a small plate on top, with enough room for a small milk pan, or a 'whistling' Kettle!
As soon as I saw your restoration, it instantly took me back through the years, happy days, happy times.....happy smells!!
Thanks for watching Mikky and sharing the story of your memories, I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment. I hope this reply will not get you in trouble with the wife then. I bet those trips on your bike would have been cold in the winter.
Lovely restoration.
I would leave the trim Silver, as it leaves a lovely edge separating the legs from the "actual" body.
Thanks I completely agree now it's all back together. Appreciate your comments 👍
Amazing work 100%👍

i was born 1962 i grew up with these heaters until i was about 14 years old. i used to Alway warm my bottom before going to bed by holding my nightie over the heater. mum would go off at me every time she caught me. telling i will burn myself but did i listen no. until the night i burn my bum. i laid in bed for hours until mum heard me crying and found out what i had done. hence i thought i was in big trouble but because i had laid there so long mum took pity on me. never did it again.
Thanks for watching and sharing your memories Michele. What a lovely story it was. It's funny hearing how everyone remembers these. My little sister sat down on the grill part and burnt her self. How did we ever survive back then with these heaters, it must have been cold. Thanks for watching.
Everyone who lives in San Diego has grown up with those heaters and all have identical BUM burn marks from the grates on them! Legit everyone I met had those burned lines into their tushy! So don’t feel bad lol 😂
@@kateapple1 that's so funny 😂 please share with anyone you know who might have burn marks on their tushy 👍

Nice restoration 10+. By the way, those things can may contain asbestos. Regards Stig Österberg from Dalsbruk in Finland.
Thanks for watching Stig from Finland and welcome to my channel. Greetings from Australia 👍
The old "Kero Heater" was a staple during winter in my home as a child during the 1960's. Toasting bread on it and smothering it with butter and jam while sitting in pajamas watching the black and white tv and being warmed by it was an enjoyment. Then later filling the tank with kerosene and changing the wick were responsibilities of my young teen years. Iconic seems too simple a word to describe the place they hold in my memories. Thanks so much for bringing this one back to life and for the reminiscence.
Thanks for watching and for sharing your story Jim. That's one thing I don't remember doing was toasting bread on ours. I do remember sitting next to it and watching Saturday morning cartoons though. Glad you enjoyed it and appreciate you taking the time to leave a great comment 👍
@@Austeration I feel I should clarify the bread wasn't actually toasted on it, more we used a big coat hanger wire three pronged fork my grandfather made and used the radiant heat to toast it. And Saturday Cartoons were the best🙂👍
@@jvebarnes thanks for the clarification Jim 😁 I had visions of you laying the bread on the grill 👍
Awesome work 👏

Your Skilled to the Umpteenth! Cool Heater, never seen one like that I don;t believe... Outstanding but that's normal for you... Good stuff, sir!
Thanks for those kind words Vic. Everyone had one one of these back in the day in Australia. That was when the petrol stations use to sell Kero from the pump.
Hola No conocía que esta estufa fuera de origen Australiano. Aquí en La Ciudad de Buenos Aires en la década de los años 60 este modelo de estufa se vendía con la marca "FOGATA" era exactamente idéntica al modelo que estas refaccionando. Funcionaba a kerosene. Calentaba muy bien el ambiente lo que era criticable la combustión que producía. Has realizado un trabajo excepcional dejando la estufa nueva como recién salida de fabrica. Te envío un cordial saludo.
Wow, no sabía que esto se vendía en ningún otro condado, solo asumí que era australiano. Gracias por compartir. Por favor, comparte este video con cualquier otra persona que puedas conocer que pueda recordar estos
What a great little heater. You got it looking lovely and working beautifully! I grew up with all sorts of contraptions like this, that these days seem slightly terrifying 😆
Thanks you very much. I agree there was so many things back in the day that could have killed us but we managed to survive.
Kompliment 👍👍👍

We had a similar parafin heater in the UK. All we could afford for heating in the 50's. They were lethal if kicked or knocked around. Made by Alladin, later versions had a cut-off valve if the heater was lifted. So nostalgic to see it working at the end of the video. Thanks.

This came out so pretty! I like the silver trim best. I would use this in my home it is so attractive. I like the cream color too, very much. I liked the comparison of the 2 paint strippers, It is good to not waste money trying to get paint off.
Awww thank you Nora. I wanted to use this out in my workshop but I think it's found a home inside now. I was trying to work out why the domestic paint stripper wasn't working that well so it seemed like a good idea to test them side by side. I hope someone benefits from the test. I always appreciate your great comments and on going support 👍👍👍
Great Trev, I love it! Especially the cream color suits it very well. Great restoration as always, my friend.
Thank you very much my friend 👍
Thank you very much
Completely amazing as always. You really showcased your restoration repertoire. I think the chrome trim was the right choice. It was just the right accent. Already looking forward to another video.
Thanks buddy, that's very kind of you. Yes I think the Chrome was the right choice also. See no oranges lol 👍
I enjoyed watching this video. You did a beautiful job on this heater and used a lot of skill to achieve a perfect result.

Nice job! Reminds of my childhood! We had one of these, and my grandparents also had one. They were rather smelly! I'm not sure if it was Fireside, perhaps a European brand. And I wouldn't be let too close to it, being a toddler...The kerosene was pink, we Portuguese call it "petróleo".
Best wishes from up here, in the antipodes, from Lisbon Portugal!
PS - the World is a small place, isn't it?
Thanks for watching Maria and leaving a comment, I have had a few comments now from Portugal saying that they had something very similar to this. Yes they are smell, I put this one inside the house once it was finished and it didn't take long before I couldn't stand the smell. I honestly don't know how we managed to have these things running in our houses. Please share this video with any one else you think enjoy it.
Muy buen trabajo, el borde plateado está perfecto.
En mi país lamentablemente ya no tenemos kerosene de calidad, además de ser carísimo
Thank you for watching and leaving such a nice comment Omar. The kerosene is also very expensive here in Australia also.
