I come from a mining family - my father, both grandfathers and one great-grandfather were all miners, so this restoration is very special for me. Thank you so much!
The “sand” / material he uses for blasting can also kind of paint the metal. Such as if using an aluminum material to blast with it can coat the metal in it

Really beautiful! Nothing more exciting than finding lost treasure where you least expect it! I wonder about the straw. Maybe to keep it from jingling or to make someone think a mouse lives in it? It's fun to imagine!
It was certainly interesting to see all those old coins. Maybe the weeds/straw were used as some form of demoisturizer? Not sure if weeds/straw were used for such purposes in the past though. Ah well, it's nice to see TysyTube getting paid. Maybe some of those old coins are really valuable nowadays.😅
Wow! First time viewer. I’m amazed that there was enough metal left under the rust! I thought with all the sand blasting, and such, that there would be holes in the metal! It turned out beautifully. The gold foil is a great touch,
Honestly one of the main things that makes your restoration channels the best is that I can actually get a clear view at the satisfying act of sandblasting.
I didn't care for the effect. I'd have preferred a polished reflector, possibly nickle plated. I would have concerns about the finish holding up as the lamp gets hot.
I would love to see light output when finished from these types of restoration. Just to see how dim they were for miners. Like against a wall in a dark room or something.
I have an original 1978 issues USGI 2 batter angle head light. With modern new batteries and the best bulb I could find, it is about the same brightness as a modern toy flashlight. LOL My Nebo pocket carry Mycro, is 400 lumens and the size of 4 quarters stacked. Red light, green light and 3 levels of bright. I cannot believe we did night navigation at FT Stewart in the early 80's with such weak light.
@@mrrustygray We did it because there was way less light around. With today's light pollution in any remotely urban zone, we _need_ our stupidly stinking bright LEDs.
A lot of these old lights put out about as much light as an old 2 D cell incandescent bulb flashlight. Wheat lamps, where a miner carried a lead/acid battery (about the size of a smallish book) on his belt and had a wire leading to his helmet lamp were brighter and the charge would last a whole shift. They were placed in a charging rack while off shift.
Beautiful- it looks so nice! Sometimes, a useful item doesn't have to be purely functional, it can be decorative, too, and this is what that poor old forgotten lantern has become!
It's inspiring to watch you take them apart and bring them back to their original look. (If not close) You make me, and others I'm sure, want to get out in the garage. Beautiful work.
To watch a master craftsmen to excelled in his passion to transform things that is in ruins to pristine conditions is truly breathtaking to witness to see...awesome
That turned out beautifully as always. I was thinking though that it had such a perfect patina of rust it would've been a perfect candidate to boil and turn the red rust into black rust and do rust bluing like the old firearms...would be neat to see.
I understand how thats a pretty good idea but I think he still wouldn’t have gone with that style of blueing on this piece as a lot of the metal is very thin and that style of blueing can be corrosive. Also he may be trying to restore it to its original specs
What I find amazing is the fact that we never hear your voice... Even when the bottle fall! If it was me you would have heard a huge "oh sh*t" 😂 But anyway, amazing video as always... 😉
What an excellent job on this restoration! Better than new! Awesome coins as a bonus! I was LMAO 🤣 when you fumbled the parts in the rust remover! Although, I'm sure it gave you a mini heart attack that close to the camera!💙
Probably not. Depending on what the base metal is, and how smooth a finish you're looking for, it might need a heavy coat of copper plating first to help fill in the holes. Then nickel over the copper, and finally gold over the nickel. It's a complicated process. The leaf was a lot quicker, easier, and believe it or not, much less expensive than having it plated.
A little advice... Tin the power cables before, it will be easier to melt the tin with the copper when you bend it. Nice job, by the way. One of the best, IMHO

All the crinkles in the gold look so nice when it's lit up! great job, I also really like your setup. it's different with the black room compared to other channels, draws more attention to whats lit up like its on stage or something :)
I noticed your respirator. I admire the account to safety. Other than the mask and the gloves, what else do you have for protection? I want to start doing restorations myself, so knowing what PPE I should have would be awesome
Old rusty things always hypnotises me. Under each layer of rust my imagination just wonders upon things like when was it made? where was it made? who made it? Who bought it? Who used it? How long was it used? How it was forgotten? How did it survive this long? Each rusty thing has a story to tell that no one will know. Seeing it getting restored is very beautiful but i will still prefer it to keep as it is, as it tell a story about itself.
Nice work! Also, a possible idea: Start keeping track of how much rust (like, by weight) you collect from each project so you can see the progression over time until the jar is full or at least full enough for you to start in on the knife project?
Try upping your volume of air and then moving the nozzle a few cm back. In theory, it should give you a wider cleaning path on the sand blaster. Caveat, the nozzle may die a wee bit faster.
Love it. Only thing I would've done differently is to use the liquid mirror in a bottle. Sure it's like $40 for 1.5ml but it can do 10 full face motorcycle helmets before running out. After 2 coats it shines brighter than professional chrome.
The restoration is absolutely beautiful, that gold leaf was a nice touch, the soldering and wiring not so much, you could use a ring terminal or a solid wire, you ruined the thread of that one bolt.
That's really nice. The gold leaf is a nice touch as well, but if you sprayed high gloss clear coat over it , the gold leaf would be more reflective. Good job overall ,take care and God bless amen.
Looks amazing, great work. Just remember to use flux whenever you're soldering to help wick the solder into the wiring better. Otherwise another 10/10 job.
I'd love to know whether the gold leafing affects the color of the light: does it give it more of a warm, yellow-ish tint than if the reflective surface were, say, chrome?
When you solder, you should heat everything up to temp before you introduce the solder. That way, the solder flows in and makes a solid physical and electrical connection.
Correct. The heat from the joint should melt the solder. It should not be done by directly melting it with the soldering iron and dripping the solder on to the joint as was done here. This result is a cold solder joint, but the good news in this case is that if the nut was tightened down around the wires, no soldering is necessary at all. Otherwise a great restoration as always!
I most always tin the wire then wrap it around the terminal. No real need to try and solder a screw and wire...just makes it hard to get apart later. It's not always necessary to tin/solder that type of connection, it may create reaction issues with with the flux and cold joints. An internal Star washer will help the nut make good contact...if necessary. Nice restoration other than that!
Wow! Awesome craftsmanship! Great use of gold leaf. I'm restoring an antique chair with room for such detail in carved areas, I've been apprehensive about the technique but you make it look easy, thanks, glad I stumbled across your video!!!
Ironically coins are always worth more unrestored! Super disappointed though because you didn't go two miles underground into an actual mine and test it 😜
Unless you were sure that the reflector was historically gold leafed I would have gone with silver foil for better reflectivity or polished up the reflector with buffing compounds to get it shineyer. Also, did you reuse the original gaskets and bulb or replacements?
Nice little coin haul! I'd check to see it any is worth anything. You did a great job restoring it but I can see it'll never be used as a flashlight with the gold leaf since it won't reflect the light as good as silver would have. But it still looks good! Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up for support
Gold leaf is an interesting choice for the reflector. I would also be interested in finding the manufacturer- French or Belgian? Always interesting, thanks for the video!
Excellent job as usual! I have one suggestion, When soldering, a drop of liquid electronic soldering flux on the joint makes the joint take the solder much better than just the rosin core solder.

The money is for buying batteries. The dry/dead weeds and plants are just to prevent them from clanking around and making obnoxious noises

Electroplated gold may have been smoother, but the gold leaf uses no special equipment. Interesting.
Probably not. Depending on what the base metal is, and how smooth a finish you're looking for, it might need a heavy coat of copper plating first to help fill in the holes.
Then nickel over the copper, and finally gold over the nickel. It's a complicated process.
The leaf was a lot quicker, easier, and believe it or not, much less expensive than having it plated.
@@jimmurphy6095
And because it's a textured finish, it halps smooth out the beam, which on these incandescent lights is very much welcome.
