Gadzooks, I'm early for once hahaha. Now that's one sweet (and very interesting looking) ratchet, hopefully they didn't need to thread anything in a cramped space haha. Fantastic work bringing this back to new! Oh and I just noticed, congratulations on 100,000 subs! With the quality of your restorations and videos I honestly can't believe it's taken this long - Hopefully this year treats you and your channel well ❤
Winston, I work on the space launch system at Michoud assembly facility for NASA. We have a few highly skilled machinists that are younger and older whom I love conversing with. I’m sure you’d love them as well. I’m a quality inspector so I get around to all areas of the facility and you’d be surprised how many people are very skilled and masters of their craft in this day and age.
Great video- the tool is clunky but beautiful. It has survived, which is great. Thank you for preserving these wonderful old things. I wish we could walk into a big box store and buy tools of that quality.
I enjoy watching these type of videos, the way it should be done, not just clean and lubricated, I think every restauration should be done like that not matter if is big or small machine. I'd like to know how everything works piece by piece, your knowledge is so amplified of chemistry, mechanical engineering, there's no body better than you, thank you.
What I liked: The restoration of the metal was beautiful. It looks amazing. What I didn't like: By sanding the handle like you did you removed all of the history, all of the character, all of the, well, patina. It changes it from a tool that looks well-loved to something sterile and generic. If a handle is ruined it should be replaced, but if it's in good condition like this one was, I think the end result would be better if you did the bare minimum to it.
yeah, I also think the metal would have been better off just wire-wheeled and blued or rust-blued, because I don't think it was ever meant to be shiny like that, it just feels wrong. Also, I would have kept the imperfections on the sphere, rather than remove material and machining marks and change the shape
I think it was a little overdone and the recreated logo didn't match the lost one but the bluing was cool. I watched the whole vid. Thread cut at the end was crooked though ;-P
feels like a restoration vs preservation kinda mindset. Preserving the tool would mean the bare minimum to keep it from being destroyed. Restoration would be bringing it back as close to new as possible. There really is merit in doing either and it seems to be a matter of perspective. Personally I hope the tool sees some form of a second life after the restoration. If it had more historical significance id argue more in favor of preservation
I was surprised to see somebody called Mister Patina using a sandblaster and sandpaper on the steel. I would have just degreased it and used a phosphoric acid and ferrous sulphate rust converter, but I like the patina that develops on old tools.
Depends on the brace! I have one with two spring-loaded pawls to either side of the notched tumbler of the ratchet. Pull either one off to have it ratchet backwards or forwards respectively, or keep both engaged and have it locked from turning at all. It's amazing how many different ways the same result can be achieved! First time I'd seen one like this.
@@TheFurriestOne I have a US made '2 speed ratchet' with 2 pawls. Engage one in the direction you wish and it gives it a 'rough' ratchet, engage the other in the same direction and it gives it a 'fine' ratchet by doubling the ratchet action. Engage both in different directions and it becomes a solid wrench.
Great work, and I love your other stuff too. It was just a bit of a shame you couldn't retain the original anchor. The handle looked like it didn't need so much sanding as well. I love how you recover so many iconic tools from the past. Great job!
They make fine graphite powder specifically for lubrication of pinewood derby cars. I use it for pocket knives, works awesome. Pencil graphite has ceramic in it to give it strength.
Wow. I'm always impressed with your metallurgy skills, the use of chemicals and chemical processes to achieve your desired effects. Well executed, well done. And of course, your attention to detail. Well done Sir 👏
No conocia esta herramienta, me parece muy interesante, cuando hay que cambiar medidas, buena restauracion, gracias por el trabajo y por mostrarlo, esta en el podio de los mejores restauradores, junto con los mechanics.
Beautiful job! Really admire your attention to detail! Was a bit disappointed about the original maker's mark getting lost, but nice job in replicating it! Wishing you and your channel all the best!
yeah removing that mark was a big bummer. I would have used a finer sandpaper. sometimes to do a job right you need to spend the time and do it by hand.
Another success story! Yes, I like the brushed finish on the metal. The handle definitely needed a fresh face along with the metal. It would have looked odd to say the least had you not refinished it too. Great job Mr P!
Hey man I love your videos they inspire me to get old rusty tools and make them brand new so I can use them in my very own work shop I love your vid‘s and hope that you have an amazing life
Greetings from Petersburg! There's so much I want to say, but I'll try to be brief. First of all: great job. Secondly: I have never seen such ratchet tap holders, wow. Third: liquid plutonium dries the skin of the hands very much, I recommend a solution of mercury and carborane acid. And finally: now it is clear why the anchor. Probably a naval special tool. And finally 2: Swiss instruments - the ultimate truth. (hello PB)
Simply put I love your work. Whether it's how to finish something, to remake something or not, etc. the choices you make along the way make the pieces you restore that much better.
Your skills and attention to detail have definitely skyrocketed. Your channel is the only channel that gives me something to watch in between my mechanics. I know he's a wizard with certain things, but your videos definitely scratch that itch! Great job!
Great video,unique tool,never seen one before.nice restoration of the tool.looks like a keeper for your collection.kudos.carry on and keep doing what your doing.👍👍👍😎😎😎
Jist me and my little humble oppinion here. Some things are so wel made,and in such good shape,i feel they should simply be cleaned and preserved. To me this was one. I almost cried when the sandblasting started. I could feel the pain of 50/60 years of history being erased.
Absolute pure perfection! You did a tremendous job with the logo and cutting the thread from the inside was a pretty good idea. And of course the editing is on point! Great video, beautiful result, thanks for sharing 🙏🏼
I have been really enjoying watching restoration videos. None of this work is anything I'd ever seen before. It's great to see the tools you use and the processes, as well as the interesting items you restore. How and where does one even learn these skills? Thank you! It's enlightening.
Wow..!!! Great job with that tool... I have one that is similar (made by a different company) and you have demonstrated what can be done with these old masterpieces... You really have to love the workmanship in these old items... They really demonstrate the old concepts of pride and craftsmanship, that is sadly lacking in today's world...
Beautiful! That spherical head is surely for holding the tool steady as you cut the thread click by very satisfying click. Now you just have to find something that needs a lot of threads cut in it!
Nice! I love how you always make such a difference with these old tools. And I love the call outs you make to your subscribers. 😄👍 It good to see dolly make an appearance. I also appreciate the way you showed the cold bluing process. Thanks again for another great video.

My appreciation for this amazing and beautiful work is conflicting with my "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality. What a conundrum.

But why need inner threads three taps and outer threads just one die?
