Guys, my channel has been restored, this is such a relief :-) Thank you so much to @My Mechanics @TysyTube Restoration @Rescue & Restore @Odd Tinkering @DiesInEveryFilm Customs for the help and support, you are really great guys. Thank you all for the kind messages we received, Stay tuned :-)
As always, a great video!! My father had a blow torch similar to this one back in the 50's and it was old then! Instead of the heating coil it had a trough that held the fuel under the nozzle that was stationary. Dad almost burnt the house down one winter thawing out frozen pipes! Oh, the memories you brought up with this project!! Thank you.
La lampe dont se servait mon père pour souder le zinc dans les années 60... Il était couvreur sur les toits de Paris 😉 Merci de redonner une nouvelle vie à ces beaux outils 👏
I've been watching remodeling vs. Restoration videos for a while. The care you put in individual parts is commendable. P.S: your cat makes it 1000x better.
Beautiful restoration 👍👍👍. Thanks for sharing. Ignore the negative comments regarding the finished restoration. The torch is an antique tool, it could not be made completely smooth or completely shiny. One definition of restoration is return to working condition. And you did.
My wife was buying this kind of torches on flea markets when we were in Austria. Now we have around 20 pices. Thank you for this video! When retired, I'm planning to restore them. I think it'll be a great fun.
I’m absolutely mesmerized, amazed & mind-blown on your level of commitment to your craft & to return some of these relics back to their pristine conditions, or close to, and making them operable once again. It’s Truly magnificent with what you are able to do. Please continue your craft so we can enjoy🙌🏾
Great restoration. I see so many things that are purposely rusted just to do an easy restoration. This was a legit restoration and it was an item worthy of a nice restoration.
I had my Grandfathers from when he worked on the railroad. He was a fireman/Oiler. And I also still have his lamps his railroad oil lamp and battery lantern. His tool kit, and official issue wooden tool box. I wish I still had the torch... his was made in 1932. But his pre-heat coil was made of copper(replacement) I still have everything else except the torch. It was lost in a fire at my home when I was younger. Non salvageable. It was given to another family member as a a reminder of my grandfather. His tool set is a full complete original set from the last steam locomotive from where I live. All dates are pre ‘45 stamped. And engine numbered.
I have to admit, that is the best design of those types of torches I've ever seen. Loved the restoration thank you for sharing. I must add; I have been looking for a 'Design' type to replicate and I have every single part from perforated stainless steel sheets, brass glands and T fittings, unions, tubing all sizes and types of o-rings, jets, rods, tap for threads, and a large oiler to assemble it around, thanks again for this video it was a pleasure to watch.
Do not change a THING about your video process. It’s relaxing and brilliant to watch. No annoying music, no stupid commentary or gaudy pop ups. Perfect.
Another true restoration, well done. Blow lamps are just as lethal now as they were when we had no other option, prone to bursting into uncontrollable fireballs. Many a house burnt down whilst stipping paint off of soffits and facia boards!
Sus manos muestran mucha experiencia y mucho, mucho trabajo y me impresiona el cuidado y delicadeza con que restaura útiles de trabajo, utilizando todos los elementos originales. ¡Enhorabuena y muchas gracias! Jesús (España)
Un résultat toujours magnifique !!! Prenez bien soin de vous.... de la crème pour les mains 🙌 !!! Avec tous ces produits et ces manipulations, vos mains sont des trésors -pas facile à restaurer 😄 -
Could the client believe their eyes when they saw the job you'd done?! Ahhh, they don't build 'em like this any more! Beautiful restoration of a beautiful tool.
As always, I'm on the lookout for some kitty "Easter eggs" and I only found three: 10:23 Checking the background 12:52 Guardian kitty 13:26 The obligatory petting Might be due to the small pieces requiring filming up close. Thanks for the video! Got to say, what an interesting little device, making use of both manual force and heating to produce pressure. Looks simple, but it's shows that some thought was poured into the design.
Another cool example of old cutting edge tech. Your restoration is exemplary. You are a true master. I’m always impressed with the great care and effort you put into your restorations. It’s so much more work than just an easy dip in some chemical to bring it back to its old glory - not by far…and your tremendous effort shows. Beautiful job…as usual! Thank you for posting, for our pleasure.
I have to say I was very impressed at the methods used to unbend / remove the hollows. You even placed the hole on the one item so it put more pressure towards the deepest bend. Well thought out and well done.
Brilliant workmanship, & of course all approved by T.H.E. Cat. Thank you for a great video ! I see no reason why an excellent restoration cannot contain a little lighthearted entertainment !
I was holding my breath for you when you were pulling with the vise to take the dent out. I was hoping the threads would not get stripped or pull out. Excellent job!!!!
My favourite channel. No talk, no faces who want to be famous, no stupid TH-cam music, only just real craftsmanship by father and son, ow and the cat. 😸
Wow another brilliant restoration, and its different to see one of these videos where as soon as the the item is disassembled it's straight to the sandblaster. A beautiful ending to see it working in all its glory xxx
Beautiful piece once again. I appreciate the fact you didn’t jump right in with the stiff wire brush, like a lot of people do. Scrubbing with paint brush is good idea 💡
Can't help but notice those very hard working hands. They're beautiful. I'm just a simple fan who deeply admires your craft. Hope to see more great videos from you. 😘😘😘
it is but its really dangerous... you can damage the thread that way :) its even worse in this case because the thread is part of the main body, and if you cut a smaller thread on it, the wall gets thinner (and weaker), also the original valve wont fit in it :)
Although I'm a bit late to comment on the video, I just wanted to share one of my ideas. I cleaned a brass material almost a year ago, and I decided to try CLEAR-COATING it to keep it shiny and prevent darkening. It has worked well so far; it's still shiny and spotless. Just an idea. Thank you for the wonderful videos. Please give our best wishes to Avril.
@TheSweetPerry Ketchup contains tomato, and tomato works as an acid. No idea about mustard, but I'll give it a try as soon as I have a hot dog party. 😊
I noticed you have a pair of those channel lock pliers from W. Germany.. they came as part of the tool sets in the trunk of the mid 80's Saab 900 cars.. I have a pair I swiped from a trunk at a junkyard about 15yrs ago and I must say they are my absolute favorite channel locks hands down. They are built exceptionally well and are made from the best steel. Don't loose them, they are getting harder to find. 👍
Great job! Like so many other I held my breath when you pulled out the dents, praying that you would not rip the tank apart. If it were me I'm not sure I would have polished the brass like that, I like the original patina on antique items.
alti5657 Some people liked that he polished the brass. You prefer the original patina. Given those two variables, which is the correct way to have done things?
@@adgee5401 Sorry for my last, maybe rude, answer. All I could read of your answer was "alti5657 Can’t please ev.." so I was confused. Regarding the LADB restoration I personally prefer the original patina. I also know that antique items with their original patina often sells for higher prices than items that have been polished and restored. That goes for coins, cars, motorcycles, Primus stoves... you name it. And as you say, you can’t please everybody.
@@rossturpin747 Allegedly it's an old gold digger from Yukon, from back in the late 19th century, but sadly I do not know his name or history. I found the picture on a website about the gold rush in Klondike.
J Rand I don’t know who alleged Walt Whitman was an old gold miner, but I’d venture to say he was America’s finest poet, and an honorable civil war nurse.
Nice job. You made a very useful tool from something that was discarded. I would have been tempted to nickle plate the coil but the bluing looks good too.
hic apparatus, fuel is additionally heated, my grandfather was such, in the year 72 I used it, a mixture of 50 to 50 66 gasoline and diesel fuel and works fine, thanks for the video
For dents in the body of the can: when I worked for an instrument repair shop we had a dent remover that was a small steel ball (maybe 2cm) welded to the end of a narrow steel rod (maybe 8mm), which was gently curved. The rod was clamped firmly in a vise. You would stick the ball into the mouth of the can, in this instance, and push the can against it to work out the dent. Worked incredibly well!
Eu cheguei a ver um macarico igual a esse na casa de um amigo de infância, estava numa estante de sua sala. Segundo seu pai, o maçarico foi usado no desmanche de navios velhos. Usava-se querosene como combustível. Era incrível de admirar. Faz muito mas muito tempo, isso foi no ano de 1990.

I like how you present us with the problem without ever saying it out loud, then you show us your solution. Genius!
Cool to see a restoration with common tools, and leaving some character instead of making it "perfect." 👍
Indeed... A real restoration, not a complete makeover.

That sanding floss you made was brilliant, Ive never seen that before and never thought of it myself, thanks!
So glad it passed inspection by Avril, the paw print of good restoration. :-) it is a beautiful piece of machinery! Well done!
J'adore votre manière de travailler et votre rigueur dans les détails. Continuez de partager avec nous votre savoir faire. 👍🛠🐱
عمل متقن
Beautiful. You are very clever in how you get the dents out. And I was not surprised to see you have a very nice and restored post vice.
Wow another brilliant restoration, and its different to see one of these videos where as soon as the the item is disassembled it's straight to the sandblaster. A beautiful ending to see it working in all its glory xxx
Fantastic restoration! Of course Avril had to give the final inspection for leaks and fueling.
Beautiful piece once again. I appreciate the fact you didn’t jump right in with the stiff wire brush, like a lot of people do. Scrubbing with paint brush is good idea 💡
You should do a cat grooming video and call it "Cat Restoration"
Lol ive seen that done with a horse.
Can't help but notice those very hard working hands. They're beautiful. I'm just a simple fan who deeply admires your craft. Hope to see more great videos from you. 😘😘😘
Pretty neat trick how you pulled out those dented in parts on top. Worked well. Great video, great final product.

Ok using your vice and cable as a puller like that, I have to say is pretty ingenious man. Awesome
Ditto bro!
That torch had a hard life. Kudos for bringing it back as best as you could.
Классная штука! Не то что сегодняшние одноразовые.
What a beautiful tool. You brought it back to life. Excellent job!
Me: after watching several other restoration videos: salt, flour vinegar...
Ketchup works well, too. But you shouldn't apply it for more than an hour because it turns reddish.
@TheSweetPerry Ketchup contains tomato, and tomato works as an acid. No idea about mustard, but I'll give it a try as soon as I have a hot dog party. 😊

Автор, раскрой секрет. Где реставраторы с TH-cam находят этот антиквариат?
присылают сами подписчики
думаю таки на барахолках своего города сначало откапывают, а этот чувак поди в сарае своего поместья
На старых базарах и металаломах купим за копейки
This blow torch is awesome. So steam punk looking. And you also did an awesome job on the restoration. 👍🏻
