I bought this compressor for £25. It was of an unknown brand but in working condition. It was fun to restore and I learned a lot.
Firstly I dismantled the compressor completely. I then paint stripped all of the paint. Once that was gone I set about removing the rust from all of the steel parts and I also removed any dents. I then masked the metal parts up before I etch primed, epoxy primed and then painted them blue. Whilst that was drying I got to cleaning and polishing all of the internal parts and external nuts and bolts. I then made a new air filter for the piston and then 3d printed and a new cap for the new capacitor. I then reassembled the compressor and tested it out with an airbrush. I have now sanded back the ground connection, resoldered the wires and added heat shrink.

No music, no talking, just quality detail shots of every step of the process and minimal annotations just where they're needed. This is the perfect project channel.
In a world where things are thrown away rather than repaired or restored then I have to say that it is quite refreshing to see someone like yourself doing something like this, very nice job.
Thanks for sharing.
I enjoy seeing old things get a second life. Thanks for providing the great entertainment.
6 videos and he has 50k subscribers all with 0 spoken words. This guy is good.
245k suscribers now lol

Yeah? Try Primitive Technology
Professional autobody tech. I can tell by the steps he takes during surface prep and the use of body filler and automotive paint and primer. Kudos! youre the only one I've ever seen on here that does that.
Restore It youve got talent. Ive been around that my whole life, youre work looks like youve been doing that for years
Professional painting but horrible electric o.O
There is nothing more satisfying than giving a few gentle love taps with a lump hammer. A job well done.
Straight to the point and 20 minutes flew by. Your editing of the speed was on point and kept me interested the whole time. This is how it's done! 👍
Agreed! I just looked and thought "there is no way that was 20 minutes!" wow. Excellent work on the editing and restore!
Yes yes yes my man is back, I’m going to take my time watching this one, over the course of days, like having an incredible meal and you never wanting it to end.
a very thorough and expertly done restoration,the finished compressor will go for many many year's ,definatley deserves my thumbs up
Very satisfying. Thank you for not ruining your videos with annoying music.
I have no use for a airbrush compressor but I can’t stop watching his videos.
If you don't have a use for one, you aren't looking hard enough.
It's called O.C.D. You re welcome!
Jason Wells It's addicting.
your restoration videos are a lot better than the average ones found on youtube, from top to buttom you do a complete restore, the details, and repair work are all part of it. keep it up, amazing work.
I love the No Music - No talking style videos👌🏻
You're so right on that.
Many well made videos is compleatly spoiled when some insane headbanger rock is added as sound.
I hate that kind of noise.
Ulrik Kaul Exactly
yeah I MUST agree !!!
Treating the pieces like car body parts by filling in any imperfections shows true dedication to your tools, well done again for your amazing restorations!
#1 Channel for restoration of old cool stuff. It's mesmerizing to watch and almost like meditation.
Your videos are so therapeutic to watch! There seems to be something so wonderful about seeing something become new again. And thanks for lack of music...I enjoy the audio just as you have it in your videos.
Wow just discovered this channel. This guy doesn't take shortcuts in his work! Keep it up.
Brilliant video and restoration, right speed, clear indication of what you are using, no supermarket music to piss you off and made in england so the parts/items you use can be easily obtained. Plus not faked to look like it's been rusting away in a cold damp cellar for 50 yrs and that you were lucky enough to find it to restore on camera, like some of the other restoration channels are starting to do. I'm trying to get two of your compressors bigger siblings working, the supplier wants £18.00 plus p&p for a 3/8" brass elbow!!
Love the use of a brass wire wheel for removing paint on steel. Looks great.
I watch the videos because I enjoy seeing these things restored. Although I am saddened that there was missing audio on some of the grinder parts and stripping parts. The sped up audio of you working is what I find relaxing. Thanks for your content!
Brilliant!
6 o'clock morning here in Denmark, and I'm tripping with your work.
For sure I'll watch it more 4 or 5 times.
My opinion: YOUR ARE THE! BEST!
Very interesting little compressor. Almost looks mid century. very industrial looking. I love stuff like that.
The quality of the work is *UNBELIEVABLE* . Man keep up the great work!
VERY GOOD WORK. I have watched all your videos completely, without moving forward for a second.
This is so therapeutic!! Thank You Restore It!!!
I am imagining how you enter your workshop in the morning and all those happy little machines you own are constantly whispering: "Pick me oh master.. pleaaase... restorrrr meee". Love your videos. Please go on restoring... No matter what kind of thing... Just restorrrr!!! :-)
Your attention to detail and correct procedure, is that of a highly skilled craftsman.
Other then your soldering and general wiring, you did an amazing job. That is how I refurbish things. Nothing is left untouched and unfinished. Your wiring could use some shrink tube and soldering a little better. But all in all a great project that you should be proud of. Bravo sir, Bravo...
Excelent work, you are the UK's very own Hand Tool Rescue. Keep up the good work
And my compliments on a well shot video and thorough restorative methodology.
The layout shot at 4:45 was excellent for purposes of both the redux and the presentation.
THIS....is using the internet correctly.
I love watching these while I work. The quite audio allows me to do other things while still watching the video. Love it.
Fascinating. Reminds me of James May's The Reassembler. As relaxing as that show too.
Hats off to another repair man, its a sad time where people just use and throw away, sure the older equipment uses more power but ill be dammed if they are not built solid. Use'm till you can not repair it anymore.
I love the lack of music. Much better this way.
Wholeheartedly agree :)
when you hear his working sounds you feel you are there and watching him at his workplace.
agreed
A sand blaster would be a great addition to your workshop!
I would be lost the minute I start taking it apart. Awesome job as usual!
Love the addition of captions! Your attention to small details is so satisfying!
Watching you bring something from to dead to alive is really statisfying...thanks for doing this
I really wish you could upload every day so i can watch and live happy!much love from country Georgia 🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪❤️
I can literally watch these ALL day
Dude you are a pro ! i like how you just restore everything ! greetings from Holland
a very comprehensive and beautifully finished refurbishment of a very useful machines,definatley gets my thumbs up
You are the first TH-camr that makes restoration videos that I subscribed to
I've been binge watching these vids for 2 days now. They're so oddly satisfying
If only you lived in australlia (south Australia) I would give you my old kero heater to restore. just sits in the shed and does nothing. Great video. Loved it.
Be cheaper to fly too him lol
Restore It where in the United Kingdom are you located. I might just see how much it would cost to ship over to you. It is missing some parts but you maybe able to locate them.
That's a heckuva effort you did there! Awesome job! I love watching these old tools come back to life.
Finally.
The first restore vid where someone actually has and uses a gear puller.
Watching people pry off pulleys and flywheels with a big screw driver or a pry bar makes my teeth hurt....I have seen far
too many bent drive shafts and wrecked bearings in my time...
At 4:01 it looks like the motor cooling fan gets bent up as you hammer it out of the motor case. Then at 12:20 you straighten it out. Then later at 17:19 when you reassemble it, it looks like you had to fold it up again. I think maybe the other end of the motor case also comes off?
Possibly one of the best executions of the restoration video genre yet! Nice camera work, good sense of pacing, and as for the restoration itself it's ridiculously detailed. Can't believe how much effort goes into this, and I love that you even go as far as to redesign and print labels. Really glad you got featured by TH-cam's trending.
A small suggestion: perhaps you can try annotating your videos with captions. The silent style of your videos is really reminiscent of Primitive Technology. Plus, I think it'd allow you to give better insight to the process without disturbing the silent nature of your videos or overfilling the screen with words.
You can even give comments about the process! Like how that part was tricky or ended up being surprisingly easy; just little tidbits here and there if you'd like.
Really beautiful work with that compressor. Looks better than new.
Your videos are like therapy to watch, really satisfying. You sure are a master at what you do....I admire your skills, that’s for sure!
MMR yea i watch em on my lunch break to relax. Very soothing
so cool how you did that👍 it makes me happy to see that compressor restored again🤙
The Chemtronics flux pens are my favourite for that sort of thing. Get it where you wan't it, transparent and easily wipe-able after the fact. One of those, few more degrees on the iron and a bit of practice and you'll be sorted. Good job getting the shrink wrap, I've always found the heat vent on a gas iron to be the perfect tool for shrinking it in small places. Nice one, thanks for sharing.
Fuck yeah! That was absolutely delightful. I’m so glad I found your channel. I will be sharing with my father in law soon so that we can be inspired together. Thanks for your high quality footage. I love that you don’t add music or talk legibly, just pure enjoyment.
Love the blues you choose to paint with
You are good! One of the best restoration video i watched!
Wow, stunning work. I'm going to have to go and watch all your other videos now!
Great work. Saw the led strips in the paint booth and was like yea this guy is going places lol
After watching all of your videos I think the next restoration needs to be that chisel you scrape everything with!
Top quality work. Really enjoy your restoration videos, and really nice not to have annoying underlaying music. Very relaxing and educational. This makes me want to restore my 1969 pioneer chainsaw. Great job!
autoK Do it!
It's worth the struggle believe me and hand tool rescue but be careful
THIS WAS LIKE BALM FOR MY SOUL.
Sick resto, man. That's just lovely.
This vid has just taken my respect for what you do to a whole new level. You got skills.
Really stunning job! Your channel was on my recommended list and I’m glad I watched. Looking forward to more videos!
New to your videos and I'm totally hooked! Love the no music / talking thing. Love hearing the sound of tools. Captions would be awesome for certain parts that need a bit more explanation.
I think you are the best on restoration beacause you have a lot of patient and knowdlege!!! Very nice keep going mister!!
It is a shame we can only give 1 thumb up for this vid!!!! Great job.
Turned out great, I never new the stroke on a compressor was so short.Shame you didn't have any shrink wrap at the time, but we've all been there. Paint finish came out wonderful on most of the parts, looks good enough to be a car paint job to me.
Beautiful paint job and brilliant craftsmanship! Great video!👍🏻❤️😊
Excellent job and I can definitely see the incremental improvements in editing. You’re on your way 🤘🏼
Awesome video, just saw it on Reddit tonight. I was expecting to binge watch, but I see your channel is just getting started. Keep doing what you're doing.
What is even more impressive is your detailed writeups in the description, answers some questions I had. I missed the part about that cylinder being a capacitor, but the video description cleared that up!
Yea, old.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/8o274v/this_restoration_channel_does_super_thorough/
Love your attachment for old stuff
Wow! My dad would have loved this channel. Fabulous work. Subscribed! Thanks, Reddit, for the link.
Just a friendly tip, when striping it helps to use planer chips after you apply the striper to the parts. the planer chips not only soak up the striper but it also makes for a much easier cleanup. And the chips also act like little scapers to help with pesky stubern hard to get to areas.
I love seeing your restorations, they are impressive.
keep it no music! gives a calm classy feel, i like it. Keep it up!
For a beginner you do top notch work! You are amazing wow keep up the great work.
Luv your attention to detail
Another incredible restoration! Great work brother!!!
WOWEEEEEEEEE! Amazing work. You are a MASTER BUILDER. Thanks for showing.
You've done an amazing job on that one, a pleasure to see!
Seeing this thing in some action would also be nice.
Keep on your great work!
I love your content and how detailed you get with every little piece. Keep up the great work!
I love these videos, I can't get enough. You need to make more and never stop!!!
Beautiful restoration. Nice attention to detail.
Congratulations on your channel, I really like these videos of restorations, and very comforting.

Fantastic! Keep making more of these videos!! Love them!
افضل مماتصورت ، التجديد للألات القديمة القوية هذا ماكنت ابحث عنه انت الافضل في مراعاة تجديد ماهو قد يكون قد خدم اكثر من عمره بأضعاف ولا زال يعمل انها الصناعهة القوية .
Very nice work. Love the color and retro look. Keep it up.
Wow!!! That should have a real sentimental value
Your attention to the most minute detail is very satisfying. New sub here ✋
Scale modeling and restorating is my hobby so I love the video!
Puts a smile on my face every time seeing these restorations. Would love to know how you recreate the original stickers!
Excellent. Enjoyed again watching this. 👍🏼👍🏼
Excellent rebuild, well done.
Sandblasting cabinet is an easy thing to build and it really saves on dust flying all over the workshop..
I wish I had such a productive hobby like this.
Beautiful restoration
Great job. Watching it is a pure pleasure. Soldering in rubber gloves - very brave :D
