Antique Handcuff Restoration and Bluing
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 เม.ย. 2020
- I will restore these rusty antique handcuffs. I bought this interesting pair of handcuffs for restoration. The handcuffs work but they are really rusty. I will remove the rust with electrolysis and the blue the steel to protect it from rust.
The handcuffs are constructed in a way that they can’t be disassembled. That is probably a very good design for handcuffs because you don’t want the prisoner to be able to easily disassemble them. To remove the rust I put the handcuffs in electrolysis bath. This will loosen the rust. After that the handcuffs were rinsed clean and dried from the water with heat gun. Then I cleaned the handcuffs with acetone. This will help me to get better result during bluing.
For bluing the handcuffs I used my furnace. This could probably be done with torch only but furnace will help me to heat the steel more evenly. If the steel is uneven some parts of the handcuffs might get a bad finish. I heated the handcuffs to a little over 300 degrees Celsius and quenched them in oil. The oil will burn the surface bluish-black color. Which will protect the steel. Link to mk furnaxe upgrade: • Is This the Easiest Fu...

The fact you kept the cord that came with the key was really sweet.
@@sundancekid7891 no spamming
Yeah - they don't make string like that anymore. (no really - they don't)
@@geneconlon4125 True, that type of string is not made anymore. The only place to find string like that nowadays is at someone's grandmas house holding up a birdhouse or on an old hairbrush :)
Wow odd I didn't know you were into this kind of stuff
Wth-
He probably resells them afterwords for the same price but restored.
god i could only hope
BDSM!?
@@theextremeanimator4721 *yes....*
*YYYEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
Girl: Hey babe, I'm feeling a bit kinky.
Odd Tinkering: Say no more.
*comes back after two weeks of work*
Man this guy can easily restore my Grandmother.
Ca- can he restore- ashes-
@@gregl4453 Probably.
*_HUMANITY RESTORED_*
He can restore everything but Mauricio Macri's brain.
Can he restore mark zuckerberg's humanity?
Me: yeah they look clean
OddTinkering: BUT WAIT-THERES MORE
Gets out acetone
HI BILLY MAYS HERE FOR ODD TINKERING!
i doubt those were designed for hands, my guess is ankles
I agree, the chain is to long for hand cuffs.
that was my first thought. those are more likely "leg irons"
He mentioned he tried them on his ankles and they didn’t fit.
@@elsadrummond2428 I don`t think they were worried too much about making handcuffs comfortable when they put these on.
Sorry for tone.. I swear I`m not being condescending !
People were smaller back then so its probably he's too big for them
I was just scrolling through the recommend tab and saw this and thought "how have I not seen this one yet?" before realizing it wasnt even an hour old lol. Another great video!
Xander Mauer i’ve had days like that.
I anticipated more kinky jokes, i dont know if I’m disappointed or relieved in u guys.
I'm seeing loads!
Be proud my friend... some percentage of the viewers here has great self control HHAHAHAHH
Disappointed.definitely disappointed!
The design of the Handcuffs, were they are locked by screwing the bolt closed like that, are why prison officers in the UK are nicknamed "Screws"
Is this perhaps related when you say "you're screwed"?
TIL
@@TimWassmuth Yes. A lot of idioms and says come from UK prisons of that time:
Just hanging around - Literally gallows humour
Pull the other one - Same, but usually, it was the family of the condemned being invited up to pull their legs to try and break the neck to hurry up the execution.
There's a lot more.
@@ShiftyMcGoggles cool thanks a lot for the explanation!
Another derivation is from the hand winder used for hard labour in prison, it had a friction device to make it more difficult to turn and the friction was increased by the turning of a screw. Tightening the screw probably comes from a similar derivation.
OT: "I restored this friendship bracelet for you!"
OT's friend: "Cool, slap it on me!"
OT: **locks the cuffs on his friend's wrist**
me: looks at the rust residue in the salt water
my brain: f o r b i d d e n s o u p
Haven't Even Gotten To That Part In The Video, But This Comment Tells Me The Part Must Be Gross.
Definitely Forbidden. It always makes me think of a swamp and that some tiny monster is going to climb out and heave itself over the edge of the plastic tub😂😂
*No.*
Hey can you restore 2019? 2020 is not very nice to the world 😄
No

Ugh, I do not recommended you to do this at home with your girlfriend (because of some sh*tty BDSM jokes...😂)
@@cyng6734 shhh dont expose us m8
old comment but i had to say it:
ODD KINKERING
4:28 forbidden pasta sauce
J U S T E A T I T
yum
Finally some good fricken food
Kat Gemini 🤢 nah, i’m good.
*N O*
Thought your furnace was a trash can filled with snow. I was a little confused for a minute
I Can’t Believe You’re Reading This - 😆
I Can’t Believe You’re Reading This I thought the exact same thing!!! Glad I wasn’t the only one.
2:13 Ahhhhh. Laminar flow is super satisfying
My Great Grandmother wore a set of Bracelets like that for 18 months for Stealing a Hog.
Thank you for helping cure boredom during this pandemic! I love your videos!
4:22 looks like a underwater monument long lost to man and sunken beneath the unforgiving waves.
Deep. But true.
Best part the water cleaning 4:54, so relaxing it makes me oddly comfortable
Those may be leg shackles/leg irons. Not handcuffs.
He tried with his feet and it doesnt fit
@@anormalfangirl7408 slaves were very skinny..
Yes. The chain is long enough to allow partial steps. Hand manacles had shorter chains. Might be too small for his ankles, but the usual wearer was not well-nourished, and generally smaller statured than modern folks.
a normal fangirl then either he has some massive fucking ankles, or he tried to slid them over his foot. There leg irons.
Leg irons sound terrifying
these videos are great to relax to! they're also a great sleep aid for me (i have trouble sleeping due to an anxiety disorder). keep up the good work!!
I said this before in an earlier video that if you have a sticky substance, use WD40 instead of acetone or alcohol substance. It will come off really easy and then use alcohol or acetone to remove the WD40 residue.
Just FYI on future videos. You're an inspiration for all us TH-cam followers. Thank you.
I hate ASMR but honestly this is what I think people get out of ASMR. The fact that there's no talking and all you can hear is the work going on is so soothing. I LOVE watching stuff get restored on this channel.~
i love how you kept the old string
You can donate those antique civil war handcuffs to history museum, they love those kind of things
"Theres nothing to dismantle" *unties the knot holding the lanyard onto the key and removes the lanyard*
I TRUSTED YOU!!!
:P
these vintage handcuffs r the best rather using the new ones 🙏
im buying one sooner 😁
For a moment I thought you might get stuck in these handcuffs. Amazing restoration job.
The photography rocks!
Hey everyone. I hope that you people are doing well and have a good week!
Odds are they didn’t even look that good when they came from the blacksmith shop the first time.
Nice job
Granny will be happy with you!
An excellent restoration... WELL DONE!!! 10/10
I’m really curious about what you do with everything you restore, do you sell it or keep it or give it away? Love this channel and the talent you have to do basically everything is dope!! 🤘🏼🇺🇾 love from Uruguay
Ur gay?
Very Cool Handcuff restoration !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nicely done, sir. Like the explanation of the locking mechanism that seemed simple but effective.
The process with the oil and furnace was so awesome! I love the color.
Top 5 Things I Fear: 1) Heights 2) Spiders 3) The Dark 4) ODD TINKERING'S BRUSH 5) Cats
Don't be afraid of the brush. He already told us it's just Chuck Norris's worn out toothbrush...
Cats?
To me, the most irritating thing in this video is that his presentation table is so low down, it in line with his crotch/top of his trousers - having to see that in the background 😣, unfortunately a feature in all of his videos ☹️
HAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. This is hilarious!
Samuel Fellows is it really a bad thing tho?
Very nicely done, simple and to the point.
Me, not paying attention: why are there two pieces of wood in the water bath with the handcuffs
nicolina smith if you’re asking about at around 5 minutes in, those aren’t wood. They’re metal plates that he uses for electrolysis which is very useful in removing rust because of the chemical reaction between the oxygen from the water and the iron from the rust.
Then it’s a good day since you’ve learned something new! I had a Flying instructor that used to say that.
He talked about his electrolysis setup in a prior video but I can’t remember which one. It’s a pretty smart way of getting all that rust off easily!
I'd argue it's the best way to do it, since it requires no hard work and only leaves dirty water with no severe chemicals to clean up, provided that the person knows exactly what he or she does, as it does involve electricity flowing through water. Not exactly a safe method, albeit it's only unsafe as long as the setup is powered. Turn the power off and it's safe again
@@Arterexius is it enough electricity to hurt you? (genuine question, no condescension!)
Candice Jackson haha I know they are metal I just quickly looked over and thought it was part of the handcuffs but thank you for giving me all that info I feel very educated now haha
Everything excellent with you. I really love your job.
Nice clean up to think of thinks I've thrown away, some guy like you're self is amazing 👀 on restoration great work, 👍🏻
Idk what i’m watching but i’m watching it
Congrats for 1M subs! Your content is so great and pleasant to see. Blessings to you and all your family on these days!
Excellent as always !
These turned out really nice 👍. Also props for the Vans. I wear the same ones myself & I’m almost 50 years old.
They are very yeasy yard/shop shoes in Finland se don't wear shoes in the house so if I go in and out a lot I need to take my shoes off often
You really blue me away with this one.
Har Dee har
You are an artist, an artist with a great body.
Your content is really interesting and I enjoy watching your videos
I'm curious what you do with the murky water that's full of rust particles. Do you have to dump it somewhere specific?
Good bath water.
Oh, that is a good question. 🤔
@@BlueLighteningGojo noice
I would try taste testing it but it may just be me
U drink it
Great job ⭐️
Best thing about Sundays these days? Good chance you get an Odd Tinkering Video ♡
Nice. They look incredibly heavy. wow.
You know, given the size of the cuffs and length of the chain, there’s a chance these are cattle shackles. Great job!
I have a question : what do you do after with all the garbage, here the rusty water, all the chemical you use etc? Thanks in advance
YES!!! 🤩 New video! 🥳 lol. I have been sewing up a storm by sewing masks for my community and I am now tired of seeing Tiger King and Lori Vallow-Daybell. 🤦♀️ you are AWESOME, as always. 💙🐝💙
Been with you almost since Day 1 and we always love your videos. Congrats on over a Mil Subs. You deserve it!! 👍😁
Excellent job!
Tu canal sin querer es de Asmr Intencional.
Encerio me relaja muchisimo ver como repara cosas.
Un abrazo y saludos.
That’s the kind of kink dedication I love 🖤
Cool cuffs!
nice restore. keep up the great work.
I'm over here saving up clothes for two weeks before doing laundry and this guy washes literally just a shoelace as one load 😂
You should consider adding an ultrasonic cleaner to your workshop. Would be a great way to clean a lot of the smaller or oddly shaped parts
Definitely leg irons/shackles. I think people tend to forget how much smaller people's legs, arms, stature, etc. Back in the last 100 years as compared to today. Awesome restoration though 😀
I follow another restoration channel and you both posted the same thing today. You both did the exact same antique handcuffs and I was so confused to see it twice on my time line at first
persis sama uplotan tgr restorasion 👍👍👍
Muy buen trabajo. Un saludo desde Madrid (Spain)
Your video is really attractive and creative :)
Is it bad that my favorite part was the watering can?
Its a beautiful water
Carson Scott I also like the water effect
Same here bud
your electrolysis plates are so rusty :O
love the content!
With all those toys, red light and handcuffs, your man cave has to be intense.^^
108 haters not cool wat cool was the restoration great job lv the video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Damn those residues left in the salt water looks like mom’s spaghetti
It's sure to leave you with weak knees and heavy arms
somtimes vomit on the sweater
I bet underneath those gloves, his palms are sweaty.
@@syndicate_ash c'mon guys. Snap back to reality
When he dropped the cuffs I bet he said "oop there goes gravity"
This would hold me in my home these days :-D I just watched on other channel almost the same handcuffs xD
i respect the fact that he just wash the string instead of replacing it
Impressive time lapse!
Awesome Work. I dont understand what you do but it is great.
Yeeesss!!! I've been waiting for anew video! I love your channel!!!
Cool video
Great as always. The next restoring must be your bike. 😀
You are my favorite channel! :)
I'm no expert but these sure look like leg irons, OT! Great job and video!
This is extremely inspiring 😍
Thank you my friend!🖒🇧🇷

Just amazing
Im dont speak english but we learn at school l lern most from TH-cam when i see tumnail l think its that thin You put on horse to put your legs but when You explain l know what is it im from macedonia and You are reason why l open my old tool box and l find original hamer its was rusty but l clean it l also find wery rusty players it has holes and its not smoth those are i imposible to restore maybe You can make one of those videos i imposible resroration its horse players l wil send them when all this end You know how it is now

Really neat
Thought it is morning already. Turns out the bird chirping is from the video lol
Been here since 600k congrats on 1 million
Very good job my friend, and yes, I think that is for nekles, not for hands. Greetings from Spain
Brilliant!
A good job on the edits with this video I noticed with a lot of close-ups in this one.👍👍
They are made for ankles, that is why they are larger and more awkwardly shaped
Considering the size and length of the chain. Could it be that they are made as a leg restraint
?
I wonder if these are the first in a series of specific restorations, building up to the jougs, a scold’s bridle, a hanging cage and eventually an iron maiden?
I’ve been indoors for far too long...
Superb restoration! Especially liked the electrolysis method of oxidation removal.
Congrats on 1M subs. Probably late for it, but I just noticed it
