Here I demonstrate my DIY process of garage zinc electroplating using my custom café racer motorcycle part. Easy way to protect metal parts from rust and corrosion by using zinc plating on those old care and motorcycle project parts

This worked out so well for you I think I'm going to do my WWII German tank. I dug a hole in my backyard and made it deep enough to hang the German tank from 4 cables. It is going to work out great because the overhead power lines running to my house is perfect to hang that monster and supply the current needed. Great vid.
Now all you need is a tiny zink plate, a spork, and a small battery. And maybe some pickle juice...
Are you still alive?
Finally, a zinc plating how to that anyone can do at home!

OMG! That hand drill scene! LMFAO!! That was great!
Hey 😄
i'm doing my whole bike....as i live in britain i've simply attached the zinc to my bike in situ and plugged a lead in from the house mains electricity and am now allowing the rain outside to work it.s magic!!! thanks ichiban!!!
johnnycactus0 Awesome ! and that reminds me to pick up one of those adapters to convert my American voltage to British Imperial voltage
Hi cactus I'am Taiwanese biker. I live in a island surrounding the sea and lots of rain with high humidity air. Could you tell me more detail about this? I can't understand " in situ" and "plugged a lead in from the house mains electricity" Thank you.
p
NB friendly heads up to our murican friends , UK electricity can give off vapours, (best to leave a door for window open) if there is a build up of these vapours it can start to reverse the process of plating. In extreme cases you could loose the whole bike when attempting this way, apart from the rubber and plastic items.
Stuart T That's what happened to mine. How stupid do I feel?
Amazing!! Your zinc plating looks identical to silver spray paint!
I loved the drilling process into the zinc plate.
a drill is a handy tool to own
Pro level :D
Got to be the best vibrating parts cleaner ever. The cat litter is "bad ass" man. Super impressed. :-)
Only an intelligent person could tweak the actual facts enough to make this satire work as well as it does. Pure genius, plus the droll narrative is perfect. Your videos crack me up, thanks.
Absolutely love Ichiban's videos. But I'm never completely sure which parts to take seriously...
I'm trying to decide whether these videos are joke or for real.
Same
+Ramon Delgado I'm right with you haha
+Ramon Delgado b They're for real.
mrfester42 I'll have to try it
+Ramon Delgado Not only are they not real, they're also not very charming or clever. Dry mid-western humor for the win!
This is the best DIY video I've seen. Short, Simple, Hilarious.
...it takes a lot to tweak the actual science and details just enough to be believable, and it takes a lot more to present, and film and produce it in a video like this...well done Itchybunns! I'll be watching more of your work! Thanks!
thanks for watching ! and if you find i have missed a video topic , i have a list here of things to film when it warms up out in the shed
Awesome. The lengths you will go to in the pursuit of Badassery always amazes and impresses me. Hats off dear boy!
+Andy Man Cam
You are too easily impressed.
+oldBRATTrider
Don't waste your time it's BS.
Dude, careful not to explode your lab with the power from this 1 AA battery!
hahahahahaha and 10 years later you get that piece with nickel
Three hundred seconds is what he said... time to make a nice cup of tea. Ideal.
Saulo Silva was about to say smthng like that... b-hah! ... ))))

Totally awesome!!! Love the old sckool hacks. Making it work!!! Resourceful, innovative, and inventful.
Absolutely fabulous my dude, EXACTLY what i was looking for! SUBBED
"the red is hot, the black is power>" LOL also the drill bit is a screw
Impulsegt1 yet no one noticed he connected the power source backwards
Mike K or that the sacrificial plate is not touching the wire it's hanging off.
th-cam.com/video/4tLMDHzpoQY/w-d-xo.html
It looks real, but is this a joke? At 2:42 the sacrificial zinc plate wasn't even touching the battery wire it was supposedly attached to. The battery wire wasn't stripped where it went through the hole in the zinc plate. The copper wire that was exposed looked to be too high to touch any of the zinc plate.
Clearly the wire was stripped and tightly contacting the Zinc. Not sure who's glasses you had on but maybe you should consider trading them old one's in for a new pair.
+Rick Murphy Wow, why are you being such a dork?
Anyway, at 2:42 everyone can clearly see the wire is not stripped for it's loop through the zinc anode plate and the little bit of wire that is stripped at the end is barely if at all touching the zinc anode.
+NoneTaken Shit, your completely correct. Guess i need to get an updated pair of glasses.
Methel-ethyl-kacetone...really?
Just remember that name:
Ichibanmoto
+NoneTaken That is why it's called satire....
You are BADASS! This worked like a champ, thanks for the great tutorial.
Jon
Great job, love short informative videos with out the hemhawing and BS sessions !
Can't wait to give this a try.
Good job, but the coper wire don't touch the zinc plate, for faster results connect the wire to the plate w/o pvc insulation and replace the power source with higher voltage battery or AC/DC power supply.
induction?

Do you know that this video is a joke?
some accurate and steady hand drilling there.
Martin Viljoen TheTechTinker why thank you sir 🖒
My favorite part of these vidoes is whenever he pulls out the hand drill.
Awesome ! Thanks for sharing ! Great tumbler!
laughed my head off when you started drilling hahahaha that was awesome.
sometimes you gotta make a hole... just 'sayin :D
what medium do you use in your tumbler?
It's kitty litter.

So funny! Battery backwards, no connection to the zinc. Laughed for almost a second.
+SpiderElectron You didn't laugh at the drill? That was pretty hilarious
one second is a good start though. Keep at it.
MaghoxFr yeah that was funny
Ichiban Moto: that is pretty neat. I had a corroded bolt on my Harley that was difficult to get to so my mechanic eventually replaced it. If corrosion occurs again, I think I may try my hand using your method. Thanks much for sharing.
Dude, that is most definitely badass. Thanks for the awesome share!
🤣😂 nobody commented on the fact that he “attached” the zinc with the wire sheathing still on. Lmao these videos are awesome.
You are hilarious!! :D HAHAH loooollll
+Bike Boobs thanks for watching and sharing !
Hahah no probs, you are totally Worth it :)
+Bike Boobs badassss it cracked me up, awesome video

Wow, good results, they came up like new!
this gui is a talent by nature! he should be in the movies and I would sit there for hours - and he is right 5 of 5 ichi ban is what he has to earn! No one less!
This guy's my fucking hero.
Tumbler: mmmmmmmmmmm
Guy: Bad ass
My new favourite channel
I really enjoyed the science and pragmatic approach to this project. I've learnt so much in a concise and comprehensive video. Thanks.
you are very welcome my Red friend
Ichiban Moto Never mind the 5 Ichiban stickers, you get 5 Ichiban fridge magnets from me.
" I don't have any vinegar, so I am going to use pickle juice" LOL subscribed!
thanks for watching and sharing !
I mean.. It doesn't even matter tho
this guy has to be a used car salesman
+Andy Garag I'm a motorcycle shop owner
@Ichiban Moto I did this to the chrome on my '67 Norumphasaki cafe racer sidecar outfit. I added Golden Syrup to the solution and now my bike looks real classy with all the gold trim. Awesome info as usual dude, peace out.
must try this pro tip!
I love this. I got plenty of parts on my 73 XLCH that need this treatment...
The shenanigans, YET AGAIN, make me question the validity of professional results gained from cat toilet sand and pickle juice. I want to try this and not be disappointed... but somehow, I see failure in my future.
+AimlessMoto
YEP...'fraid so...
+AimlessMoto You are not bad ass.
+AimlessMoto The key is the amount of pickle juice you use. A little bit equals failure; a large amount equals really big failure.
u gotta have faith in yourself. an inventor, or experimenter will fail a thousand times before getting it right
keeping the bike clean and oiled up would avoid all this hullabaloo in the first place. Seems like taking a sledge hammer to plant a nail in the wall to me. useful info though.
Great technical advice as always. I think I'll plate my nuts, they are getting old and are rather crusty.
Coldfin9er That's what my wife told me about mine.
I lead plated mine. Makes them bullet resistant.
Make sure you leave them in a vibratory tumbler first.
You will have to put them in the vibrating parts cleaner to remove the "crusty" first. [gotta see that]
Soak it wid pickle juice for 1day then let your wife taste it if its ready to get plated or not and also no shower before and after
Good stuff. I've been inspired. Thank you.
Sensei Ichiban...You are the troll I dream of becoming. I am now a subscriber. May the badassdom continue.
He also failed to disassemble the parts.
You would need to disassemble the part to be coated but Master Ichiban is Badass so he quite literally doesn't need to.
One day you may be badass enough to get away with it.
It's all about putting in the hours.
One day I may be badass enough to get away with it?
Ah well, Ichiban is a Badass name.
Someday!
LOL
This is getting annoying lol. I keep running across this guy's videos when I actually want to figure out some advice on a cafe build and this dudes goofy videos keep popping up lol.
why thank you, I'm always looking for new video ideas too
Exactly @tommy bourke, its so annoying! Do some real videos that actually help us. I feel bad for the people who dont know and actually expect that battery to work 🤦🏼♂️😑
I cant stop watching these.
+Jason Doling thanks for watching and sharing Jason !
Thank's for uploading..you did a five star job there dude..!
+Kalle Klæp sure thing, thanks for watching and sharing !
haha.... nice tricks, but you can't fool me.
+rentefald
Someone with a little common sense at last !
3.43 minutes lost forever....should have trusted my instincts about this one...
Thanks!
Another great windup even if the 'science' behind it is sound (with a bit of research). Worrying about the refurbishment of the wheel tensioners when the rest of the rear end is almost scrap! Genius! 😂👍
2:47 the unisolated part of the wire doesn't even touch the "zinc plate",this guy is trooling a lot of people
induction
Ichiban Moto videos are all meant for entertainment purposes. It's a parody guys, c'mon! lol...
yea, the vibratory parts cleaner was the dead giveaway!
"Ichiban Moto videos are all meant for entertainment purposes. It's a parody guys, c'mon!"
What a waste of the internets and all the valuable resources that go into it! No wonder the world is in such a state!
actual that works, it's a tumbler that is usually used to clean ammo casing for people that reload for their firearms, but you use the right product you can do small parts as well.
Don't be ridiculous Robert MTL have you even watched the video how he 'made' the vibrator and used CAT LITTER? But let's bear in mind even the cleaning was just part of this stupid waste of time and energy.
yes I have a tumble to clean ammo casing. With a more abrasive media I can see this work.The rest i don't believe
Beautiful job!
I watched all your vids soda blasting , plating and sonic cleaning and have decided to zinc plate my car. I don't have any money to buy zinc but I remembered you said boats have them. So I'll put some vinegar and soda in the trunk and drive my car off a quayside next to a boat and hook it up to an overhead powerline then I'll have a rust free car. Thanks Ichi.
+Mason Ringbinder well done mate !
This must be a joke
I wish youtube would install a 'bullshit o meter' so we could flag this kind of rubbish.
is that a thing?
Found this by accident, what a great accident to have. I've just started re building my 67 Bonneville. Stuffed it in a shed for 16 years. Long story, involved a crash. I need all the help I can get so these sort of finds are priceless. Now to make that tumbler. Cheers.
Stephen Staines bad ass! and best of luck with that sweet Pontiac!
Love those drill skills loudest laugh today. Thx bro.
Very comprehensive video. I use this same process all the time. One thing I would keep in mind if you have to use pickle juice, check the ingredients for yellow number 5. It will give your parts a yellow tint, still pretty bad ass.
I had to subscribe, this results are BADASS
Good video and worked well
Very instructional and entertaining!
Great to c all the latest tech being used fantastic 😂😂
That is really helpful for small batch of plated material
+Dipesh Patel thanks, I need to come up with something for large batches of fasteners etc
Thank you so much to expliaining in simple and spoon feeding way
Amazing video!
why thank you sir !
OMG I loved this!!!
love your work man thumbs up lol. just plain old badassery right there xD
Good vid and I love your drill loool👍🏻👍🏻
You are a monster!! Such important and clear information.
+Carlos César Machado you are very welcome Carlos ! thanks for watching and sharing :)
super einfache Anleitung zum galvanischem verzinken. Danke
+Frank Leddermann ich danke Ihnen für das Ansehen und den Austausch
awesome video
Im impressed nobody talking about the zinc is wrapped with the insulated part of the wire 2:41
This is awesome, thanks!
Never done this with just a 2xAA battery, usually I use a 9v ac adapter...I’ll definitely try this out, cheers 👍🏼😊
“Two sporks full”. Love it
my grandfather owned a plating shop, all I remember is the smell...nice job
I couldn't get the pickle smell out of my hair for weeks
Awesome will have to do this
Ingenious!!......there is sooo much knowledge out there.....Thank you sir!!
you are very welcome !
nice...im giving plating a go....cheers
This is the most awesomer thing you've ever done.
+Yoshio Tamiya thanks Yoshio !
the mould is a great solution thanks
That's simply awesome.
Your fkning living legend - thank you for your enlightened instructions on how to zinc plate motobike parts !! Yaaa !
Terrific, I love it.
Great job! Thanks for the video. Worth every bit of 5 Itchybutt moto stickers.
Awesome video !
Just subscribed to the channel. Keep up with the good work, mate :)
+Erik Borgersen hey thanks for watching and sharing Erik !
When you pulled out the spork, I just lost it lol. 10/10
+Max W. yes, accurate measurements are key
Like you said, badass!
Love the "2 sporkfuls" !!
good video dude 👍👍👍
Hilarious technology. You are good man :)
it is very very clear.thank you
you are very welcome !
very informative thanks
Thanks 4 the info
that's incredible!
You’re vids are an art. I rembember the bike tank vid where someone didn’t get it says “ this is a fucken load of shit” or something like that and Mr Ichiban is like “ Thank you”
that was cool. thanks for sharing.
+Mike Beeman bad ass !
