Rusty Pliers Restoration- Nickel Plating | Mister Patina
In this Video i‘m restoring an old pair of Tattoo Marking Pliers- i bought them online from a private guy. This Plier is made by E. Walther Torgau and was used with tattoo ink, to mark pigs or cows ears to identify them. Dont worry, i bought them just for the Restoration and decoration ;)
I stripped the Old Nickel plating by sanding and other methods, created my own Nickel electrolyt with white vinegar, salt, pure Nickel and electricity. With this liquid i was able to add a new layer of nickel by electrolysis.
The Final result of the Pliers Restoration isnt perfect, it had several holes and serious marks still left. But i think a Little Patina isnt wrong :)
I hope you like the video, stay tuned to see Part 2 - in this part I will restore the Boxes and Marking digits.
If you have any questions or suggestions, you can write an email, i try to answer asap.

That is actually a tattoo gun for livestock. Put numbers in pliers and add ink to ear of animal and squeeze pliers and wallah you have a permanent tattoo for identification. Just thought I'd share.

Thanks Brennon!

Thank you for sharing Mr P. Great restoration and super good video work.

[@texas6065]

I really enjoyed this video. Thank you for sharing.

[@paulorth2251]

Definitely a well used tool, but I don't know for what. I have never seen one like it before, but that's me. Thanks for sharing your videos.

[@misterpatina]

Thanks for your comment Paul! This Tool is used for (tattoo-)marking cows or pigs ears, to identify them. Pretty cruel, but I won’t use it - just for decoration 🙂

[@thefatkingpink3656]

Not cruel. It is better than ear notching

Thanks Ingmar! :-)

[@StealthDonut1]

This is wonderful! Out of curiosity, how much nickel plating is TOO much nickel plating? You put the tools in for 90 seconds. What would have happened if you'd gone a little bit more? Does it ruin the tool?

[@misterpatina]

hey my friend! There are so much "rules" for nickle plating - so much that theres not that one answer. Depending on the power, the nickel, the amount of nickel solution, the size of the part...and much more. But to answer your question: I once left it too long in the solution and it started to "crack" on the surface, hard to say but it looked like little cracks and a slightly "wavey" surface.
You need a lot of experience with plating that way, to get the "perfect" result.

Hi Mr. Patina! Great fan of tour restorations. Easy question: which drill stand are you using?

Hey Javier, thanks a lot! Guess this question is too easy, I really dont know, sorry :(

Even me I was wondering what for that pliers...now reading the comments I know...

[@lucasmcardle7042]

What kind of wheel did you use to remove the nickel? Love your channel thanks!!

[@misterpatina]

Thanks! In Germany we Call this thing a „Cookie Disc/Wheel“ or „abrasive drill disc/wheel“. I really don’t know any official name 😕

[@dylanferrandon8363]

Super restauration ! Quel est le liquide vert que l’on voit avant de commencer l’électrolyse ? Et quelle puissance/intensité utilises tu ? 😁

[@misterpatina]

Merci, le liquide vert est "électrolyte nickel", c'est un mélange de nickel et de vinaigre. Je le fais tourner à 12 V et environ 3,5 ampères.

Excellent, Kannst du deinen Prozess zum Vernickeln genauer beschreiben? Oder ist das wirklich so einfaczu, wie es aussieht?

[@misterpatina]

Hallo Thomas, vernickeln ist nicht ganz so leicht wie es hier aussieht, am besten schaust du mal auf TH-cam „how to nickel plate“ - hier wird der ganze Prozess erklärt 🙂

[@Sevetamryn]

@@misterpatina Hi, Doch wirklich fast so einfach, habe gerade meine ersten Teile erfolgreich vernickelt. Inklusive Elektrolyt selber machen (Essigbasis)

[@misterpatina]

@@Sevetamryn hi Thomas, Glückwunsch! 🙂jenachdem wie dick du vernickelt hast, kannst du mit anschließendem polieren noch einiges an Glanz rausholen 🙂

[@augusthermann9102]

Auch Hundeohren von Rassehunden wurden mit solchen Zangen tätowiert bis man zum Chippen übergegangen ist 😟

[@misterpatina]

Ich denke das chippen die freundlichere Variante ist 🙂

[@pedrogonzalez4669]

Sorry, that nickel plating won't prevent rust😐

[@EbenVisher]

Beautiful video. Thanks. Why did you leave all the big holes (pockmarks) in the handle? my mechanics would not have. I want you at his level to give us more good options. :-)
