- Today I am trying to see if I can turn aluminum Chicago screws into a brass looking screw. This is done by using chemicals from Surfinchemicals.

I would look at various leather working suppliers for a new source of brass Chicago screws. Weaver leather supply has some good looking ones. Your results on these look good, but aluminum sure seems soft for fasteners.
I tried to help and suggested something like that but he deleted my comment. Lmao.

I definitely want one but can't afford. Such amazing prices of art and unrivaled craftsmanship in a functional tool
You may want to consider a satin clear coat on those screws as the patina while it looks good in colour is actually not particularly durable against rubs
Not his problem :D
@@muh1h1 You underestimate reputations value in business. 🤑
LMAO, at the end... "If you get one scratch on there..." -Martin
I love stuff like this, Tim. It was a fun video!
That’s pretty neat, alchemy prevails!! I love Chicago screws, nice clean look on both sides. Great vid 👍
Very nice job timmothy. Very nice video. This turned out very well there. Can't wait to see more videos soon Timothy. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep forge lit. Forge on. Weld on. Fab on. Keep making. God bless.
oddly satisfying when you were sorting on timelapse. Great job on these axes!
Darn fine job Timothy. Hey Martin.
Quick tip. Use a dipper with holes in it so you don’t mix the solutions.
Aren't brass Chicago screws fairly common?
Thank You Tim for the offer on an axe. The problems would arise as said item goes through Her Majesty Customs Revenue and Excise (HMRC) here in the UK. Wood box, wood shavings, and a nice big lump of sharpened iron. Let one of your good fellows on that side of the pond have the enjoy your fine professional refinery. Good vid. Thank You. M
I've never had any problems importing tools to or from the uk.
Australia is tricky, but uk no worries
For the price point I would like to see solid brass, not a thinly coated easily scratched aluminum
Hi Tim :) i hope you and Martin are doing well!
I wonder how that would take on a polished aluminum rifle receiver.
This style of fastener is commonly referred to as a "sex bolt". Perhaps searching for Sec Bolts may help you find what you need!
Still jealous of the boxes as an axe owner :)
But I noticed the patina is pretty easy to scratch with the screwdriver…. maybe some sort of anodizing process to toughen it up?
Maybe we should ask Tim if we can just order the boxes! I want one for my axe!
You should make a little dipper basket, out of a screen or something.
That was funny 😄
Yo. Early release today
Amazon has all kinds.
Either coat the screws or the driver so you don’t scratch off the color.
maybe get some vibrator abrasive triangles to add the wear you want without sand and use a mesh strainer to rinse.
you could just heat them up with a torch and hit them with a brass brush too.
Wouldn't work on aluminum.. If he managed to find steel Chicago screws they could be brassed in that manner though.
i would of left to dry over something warm instead of taking all the time with the air line
Yes, but he was blowing out the sand.
Will scratch easily
Tim, have you ever thought about making a Damascus ax? I don't know if it works for an ax, but it would be killer-looking if it would work...
You should try to make transparent aluminum and forge it into something.
What are you talking about... ALON is expensive and cannot be forged. LMAO its a mix of Aluminum, Nitrogen, and Oxygen pressed together under extreme heat and pressure to make a block.
@@Pez_Destroyer whoa... calm down man no need to get so excited. I assume that you have tried heating up a piece and hammering on it . Besides how many specialized metals has he played with onthis channel.
@@ericwhitmire4610 no excitement, just facts!
⭐🙂👍
for the algo
why not getting brass screws in the first place and avoid all that work? It is nice but time consuming!
You can just leave mine aluminum-- I don't mind.
Going from brass to aluminium is a sad decision I must say
with what you do i am surprised you haven't got a screw press yet, brass is about %80 copper and %20 aluminum. copper sulfate will just stick to that no problem and turn it coppery, that mix might stick better and look better after.
Brass has zinc, not aluminum
There's aluminium bronze, which is copper and tin with a tiny amount of aluminium, brass is copper and zinc
Wow, a video of you cheeping out on your product...
Why not just get brass Chicago screws? This seems like a horribly inefficient method for the result you are trying to get
Buy cheap buy twice
