That is a neat old safe. Nice job on the retrofit. The company that I work for, Diebold, bought what was left of Mosler after their bankruptcy. I work on these old safes, regularly, and I actually had to drill a larger one open (after a lock failure) just this week. I enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.
@@sixtyfiveford If you ever have questions about safes or locks, let me know. I'll be happy to help. I have been playing the is game for over 25 years.
I think the real genius was seeing the potential in something that no one wanted and turning it into something very unique and desirable. Really well done and I love your dog. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺
Awesome stuff! Love watching your videos, would love to see a video of you talking a little about your background and experiences. You're very interesting and experienced and have so much knowledge to share.
Ginger is so smart and obedient! I know you must have spent many hours with her! She is not quite ready for geometry yet but she is truly a smart dog! Awesome job on the SAFE! You have a good eye for artistic work and what an antique should look like! Excellent!!
Wow! It's a very rare occasion to see an old antique mosler product in private hands. My nine-to-five is I have to install any accessory a bank wants usually safes and ATMs. Mosler is one of the kings when it comes to safes. Also fun little tidbit I have a friend in Chicago who has a walk in fire-safe in their basement, the house was built after the Chicago fire... Yup it's that old lol but the giant exterior safe door is made by mosler and inside it is a little safe in the wall and that is the exact safe you have sir👌 Also I have to add you tackled that like a pro, damn near exactly how we do it👍
Cool money, and the safe turned out awesome. I think you made it much more valuable. I thought it was a mercury dime at first, but a silver Canadian is even cooler.
Those old safes like were covered with cement and copper si they were impervious to torch attacks and those round doors were designed to be impervious to nitroglycerin. Cool build
@@sixtyfiveford that is a "hand change" combination lock. Resetting the combo is very easy. Just be sure that you log any "offset" in the numbers on the "wheels" and the actual number that you stop at on the dial (ex. if the "wheel" is at 65 and the dial needs to stop on 66, add 1 number to the new number on the "wheel"). They can be a bit finicky but not too difficult to reset if you are careful. Nice job.
I stop every time I have my truck and see free bed frame rails free angle iron welds great! And yes it’s tuff on drills I started buying bosh cobalt just because of it !
Depending on what you need or use them for, spot anneal with a torch. If you've got a very stable drill press or a milling machine, use solid carbide bits or cutters. They'll go through a bedframe like butter. Just an FYI. 🤔👍🏻🇺🇸 - Max Giganteum
It’s videos like this that make you/your channel awesome. You take something less than worthless and turn it into something useful. Not just useful but beautiful. When you do something you don’t just do it, you do it right down to the finest detail. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise. It inspires me to get out in my shop and keep tinkering.
Hey Moe, I love how your safe turned out. Whenever I make a little dinky project and it turns out right. I always feel good. I can only imagine how great you feel when something you make that is as cool as this turns out to be what you wanted. I loved the gasoline trick for the decals that was cool. The sound that the safe makes when you open and close it makes the whole project worthwhile. You won't be able to buy this in the store.
1st of all, it looked great when done and reminded me of a Wells Fargo Safe you would see on a train getting robbed in the Wild Wild West when you finished it, and those plug welds will be a whole lot harder to drill out than any rivet would. a set of wheels on the bottom wouldn't hurt either. Put the combination of the safe on the "inside" that way the next owner won't have to decipher it. Could be a hundred years from now, so put a picture of the restoration team and a DVD of the process inside too. It will be a Time Capsule to document its history. Use what you have, but the fire rating for it would be higher if you used something like "Ceramic Fiber Thermal Insulation Board". This is what I plan on using when I build an outdoor shelter for an emergency generator. Enjoy the rest of your winter.
I'm such an easy mark, promise old coins in the thumbnail and get watched first. Did not disappoint! Thrilled that you could salvage the good parts into something more reasonable. The weld dots look amazingly clean, if that makes sense, and do a great job as faux rivets. The panel lining was a great touch, as well.
My guy. The stuff that comes out if your brain is amazing. You are such an awesome craftsman Hands down my favorite TH-camr. I’d love to buy you a beer someday.
I didn't see why you would want the safe, but, there is a reason I'm subscribed, you come up with some great projects. I didn't see this turning out so nice. Good job. Lots of work, with a great outcome.
Nice build! I have a couple of safes. I restore them. The heavier a safe is, the less it's worth, because people don't want to do the work to move them. I have one that weighs nearly 4800 kilos.
Gotta love Ginger.. so intelligent! and super happy, healthy, willing and loyal. That's entirely about bond and trust. both ways. My Roxy was so similar in enthusiasm and brightness. Roxy was a GSD x Border Collie. What's Gingers heritage?
Always learn something from your videos, thanks! Have you ever had to weld up a worn slip yoke on a transmission or transfer case? Reason why I ask is that some yokes are no longer made and a repair is the only option. I figure that if anyone can fix a worn yoke, you can!
@@sixtyfiveford yes, after 200,000 plus miles there is a groove worn in. I have seen shafts built up with spray welding, mig welding and tig welding, then ground down to original od. I am concerned about the grain structure around the weld zone particularly for tig. I don't want a stress fracture to spoil my day!
Rather than weld, most folks at home use a speedi-sleeve to effect a groove repair. Going that route is usually the quickest and least costly. Another potential repair on some parts is to machine for an oversize seal... but that repair is not possible on all parts and you also have to come up with the seal. Rather than attempt to weld on cast or forged parts which may or may not work, I prefer to prep and build up the damaged area with nickel plating. Then all it takes to complete the repair is to machine or grind back down to the original finish size. Obviously, you have to be able to conduct the plating and machining ops but to me it's worth it. You get the best and longest lasting repair with no complications. Best wishes! 👍🏻👨🏻🔧🇺🇸 - Max Giganteum
@@MaxGiganteum all good points. The slip yoke is 6 inches long and the wear surface for the seal is 4 inches from the end. This makes a speedi sleeve a tough proposition. Did look into hard chrome and nickel plating, however in SoCal the enviros have made that a difficult choice. Appreciate the response, thanks!
My experience is you don't need industrial chrome... nickel works just fine. Unless your part originally had a hard chrome surface, I wouldn't give it a second thought. As far as how to get it done, there is the bona fide plating shop... then there's the home brew folks that can do just as good of a job. I've been around and in both environments and success depends on one thing: does the guy doing it know what he's doing? That's the catch. If the speedi-sleeve option isn't looking viable, I'd price out nickel plating and finish machining at a regular shop unless you've got friends that can lend a hand. I would also attempt to find a local home brew hobbyist that might be willing to help. They're usually far cheaper than a regular shop (sometimes free) and they often like the challenge. If you've got the time, you might do some research online to see if anyone is nearby that can help. Look for the hobbyist groups. Another option for machining are any local trade or technical schools with a machining program. High schools too. The instructors usually love it when someone walks in the door with a unique project as it gives the students real world job shop experience. Mine did when I was in a machining program many decades ago. Yes, I did a couple of walk-ins myself though what I got were all fairly easy. One that I remember was the task of re-machining the ways of a mini-lathe... that guy was tickled pink because he figured it was a lost cause. He'd almost just tossed the whole thing in the scrap bin! How did it turn out? Looked like new, not that I was surprised. All I thought at first was that a few of the dings or gouges were too deep but they all cleaned up. Anyway, I'm reminded of something else - automotive programs at trade or technical schools. Junior & community colleges often have them. They too often like having folks show up with unique projects for students to deal with... some online research and a few phone calls might get you what you need for free or for a small "donation" to the program. It's up to you to look into those things, of course, but know this - it might take a lot of time to get things done unless you already know who to talk to and the time of year is right. Students only spend so much time in the labs... and there are only so many days per year class is in session. Best wishes! 👍🏻👨🏻🔧👨🏻🎓 - Max Giganteum
Good morning Sir. You always make things look so easy. That safe came out Great.. Ginger is such a great puppy. I did notice when you took a shot of The Made in American it was made in my home state New Hampshire. That made me smile. Go 603. Thank you for sharing your adventures and all your talents with us. Stay safe and always be kind. Cheers
Like Excalibur and steampunk come together in this project. And thanks for the link to those pneumatic wedges. I smiled when I read the description on Amazon - they stop short of saying they're useful for getting into locked cars, which is where I've seen them used before, plus some of the kit tooling seems to be designed for door seal compression. Of course useful for other stuff as you display.
Bed rails are typically made from spring steel. They have a higher carbon content and can be a challenge to weld. really strong though. Great source of cheap or free steel but you have to be careful with it.
Ah dude, I'm glad you didn't scrap the whole thing. I watched the video of you taking it home and seen it was kinda worthless. And when you showed the inside and the door, I thought, I couldn't throw it away. I love to see old stuff being rejuvenated, and still functional. Yeah. Peace
I really like how you made the tack welds look like rivets. I’ve got a friend his father used to keep three $400,000 in cash around. He was Amish. A couple of his hands who were not English waited for him to be home one day and took four of his own log chains out of his shop, wrote them through his house , wrapped it around his big safe and pulled it through the whole house and out the door. The safe was never recovered. I guess well there’s a will there’s a way. Lol Goodness the damage that must’ve caused carrying that through the whole house down the hallway and out the front door must have been very expensive .
Nothing is safe if somebody wants it. I think the moral of the story here might be never let anybody know how much money you have "under the mattress".
Cool stuff Moe. I've seen some really nice pinstriping on antique safes-even gold leaf. Any idea when you might get back around to working on your 65 Ford? Thanks for posting.
I was thinking about pin stripping this in gold but wasn't sure I wanted to add hours to the project. I need the move the 65 so it's in my way, then it will take priority.
It went from 1600 lb down to 350 lb. It feels like a lead anchor. I moved it down my stairs into the basement. I'm not sure how I'm going to easily get it back up without at least two guys.
One of your finest fabrication’s to date Moe…well done, think I would have put my own time capsule or at least welded your name inside as the fabricator and a picture of ginger too. Concrete might have made a decent repurposed backyard pizza oven.
I'm amazed at how much work it took to get the safe apart. You turned a boat anchor into a very usable and good-looking safe. Unlike a lot of ladies, Ginger probably enjoys going to Home Depot. 👍
Mine waits in the car. I usually crack the windows for her. She is entertained with a book or her phone.
Ginger loves going for a drive anywhere, even if it's sitting in the car while I run in.
That turned out really nice! Looks as old as the original with all of the work you put into it. Great work.
Thanks
Much nicer look and more usable
Thanks
That is a neat old safe. Nice job on the retrofit. The company that I work for, Diebold, bought what was left of Mosler after their bankruptcy. I work on these old safes, regularly, and I actually had to drill a larger one open (after a lock failure) just this week. I enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.

I had my doubts but you changed that... in spades. Man, that is agood looking safe now AND waaaaay more usable. Good job. 👏👏👏👍

Cool money, and the safe turned out awesome. I think you made it much more valuable. I thought it was a mercury dime at first, but a silver Canadian is even cooler.
Thanks. I was hoping for more valuable coins, but old is still cool.
So gladyou didn't grind down the spot welds. Looks amazing
You and me both!

Not only do I use mine every time I grab a rattle can, I gave 2 as Christmas presents to our son and his Father-in-law.
That's awesome.
The fact that you were able to decipher that combo lock was pretty cool. Safe looks great! Keep the vids coming!!

Thanks. There's something mesmerizing about watching Andrew play with his big construction equipment.
That turned out amazing! I can appreciate the amount of effort it took to remove that from the concrete as well!
I need a saw that can cut a foot deep and it would have taken far less time. Lots of hammering.
Nice end result. Lots of work but we do it cause we enjoy it. Love the plug welds made to resemble Rivets
Thanks 👍

The faux rivets are perfect
Badass! I served 26+ years active duty. Can't beat old mosler safes and S&G locks. The new digital locks suck.

Bed rails are typically made from spring steel. They have a higher carbon content and can be a challenge to weld. really strong though. Great source of cheap or free steel but you have to be careful with it.
True, that's why I chose them for this non critical project.
Spring steel is easier to weld if you normalize the metal by heating it red hot an allowing it to cool slowly.
Love the look! Looks like it came straight out of a 1930s movie.

It went from 1600 lb down to 350 lb. It feels like a lead anchor. I moved it down my stairs into the basement. I'm not sure how I'm going to easily get it back up without at least two guys.
Great project. Nice to save a piece of History.
Yes indeed!
I was wondering what you'd do with it, looks great now. Good score with the coins.
Thanks 👍
You done a really nice job..

Nice Job....What a score.....custom safe...
Thanks.
One of your finest fabrication’s to date Moe…well done, think I would have put my own time capsule or at least welded your name inside as the fabricator and a picture of ginger too. Concrete might have made a decent repurposed backyard pizza oven.
Hey thanks
I’m guessing from the vintage that that had asbestos in it. Be careful with the dust.
youve seen its a wonderful life ..the snow in that movie was all asbestos flakes (for real) . its as safe as can be ...
Asbestos concrete is for strength(pipes, sheeting, etc) when making thin products. This is just concrete for weight.
You never cease to amaze me
