I found this tire inflator with pressure gauge, which dessperetly needed a restoration. It was broken. Air was leaking everywhere, the handle wasnt working properly anymore and the pressure gauge didnt work either. This was definitely the most challenging restoration i did so far. I hope you like the result and the video.

Old hand drill Zbrojovka - Restoration


A drill: is a machine tool designed to drill holes using drills.

Drills and reamers are used to obtain holes of more precise dimensions. Countersinks, etc. are used for countersinking.

Most often, tools are clamped into the drill using chucks of various types and sizes, the most common is a gear chuck up to a diameter of 13 mm. Larger diameter drills are clamped directly into the drill spindle using a Morse taper. Originally, the drills were powered by hand, they were hand tools. Todays drills are usually driven by electric motors. To obtain different speeds, the drills are equipped with gearboxes and electronic speed preselection.

The simplest tools for manual drilling of holes are classic heaters. Other tools for drilling holes are also spinning wheels. There are also hand drills equipped with a drill thread, as well as mechanical hand drills driven by a crank by means of a gear transmission.

Hand-held portable electric drills powered by a single-phase electric motor are often equipped with a «hammer», which is a vibrating mechanism that facilitates the destruction of masonry when drilling into concrete and other building materials. (Source wikipedia)

Dovetail Tomahawk


Making a dovetail tomahawk from scrap. Inspired by rare examples of steel and brass pipe tomahawk, exchanged as diplomatic gifts between Europeans and Native Americans.
I dont pretend this to be functional. Its made for the challenge of making it and as art piece more than an actual work hatchet. It can still chop stuff and seems to hold up well, but of course it has nothing to do with a proper one made entirely of steel.

Ill do my best to answer questions in comments and Ill add the most frequent one here:

0:00 Steel Edge
3:27 Pattern
5:30 Brass Cast
7:47 Head
10:37 Handle
13:09 Test

Antique Rusty Hand Plane - Restoration


In this video im restoring an antique Stanley hand plane.

My friend has found this very old Stanley hand plane at the steel waste. When I saw it the first time at his place I wanted to restore it immediately, so I bought it for $10. This Stanley no. 122 hand plane was manufactured from 1877 until 1918, its at least 101 years old. This plane is from the „liberty bell“ series, they were first produced in 1876 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776). Thats the reason why the liberty bell is imprinted on the lever cap.
As Im not a woodworker at all and Ive never used a hand plane before in my life, I had to do a lot of research how this thing even works to understand the function of each part. It turned out that the iron and the backing iron were assembled wrongly and there was also one part missing, which holds both of these parts together. As the iron was an original Stanley part, it wasnt the correct one for this plane. The bigger hole in the slot was on the wrong end, thats why I made a new one.
I tried to keep as many parts as possible original on this restoration. I only replaced two small screws, made the missing part and a new iron.

I hope you like my work and the video.

1930s Marx Battery Operated ElectroMagnetic Crane Truck Restoration


I purchased this 1930s Marx Battery Operated ElectroMagnetic Crane Truck on eBay October of 2020. It was in dire need of a restoration and missing numerous parts. During disassembly I snapped off a tab on the boom, a tab on the boom mount, found the tab for the battery holder snapped off. The truck was missing the battery switch completely, as well as the electro-magnet. One of the wheels was damaged and had to be repaired, I ended up remaking quite a few parts for this restoration. By far this is my longest video I have produced to date, however I believe that it is well worth it. I love the final results.

1933 Mechanical Slot Machine Restoration


About 6 months ago I got a call from someone who wanted me to restore something for them. Obviously I couldnt say no to a piece like this, but it was pretty daunting. It took me months to finish restoring this slot machine, but its finally done and edited.

Anyway, I learned a lot restoring this old slot machine and Im really happy I took this challenging project on. There will be a part 2 coming up pretty soon here that focuses solely on the restoration of the mechanism inside. It turned out to be way too much to cram into one video. I have almost 1tb of footage stored on my server for this project alone…

After I finish editing/uploading that video I will go back to making videos on my Jeep.

Restoring Broken Formula Racing Game - Retro Game Restoration


I bought this retro Formula racing game for restoration. Its called Grand Prix and it was made by CGL. The LCD screen badly damaged and one of the levers has been broken.

I noticed the color of the console is a bit different from the usual yellowing in the items I restore. It looks almost like there is a green tint to it so I was expecting it to stay the same color in the hydrogen peroxide bath. The process is called retrobright and it removes the yellowing and when done correctly it wont change the original color. If the original color under the yellowing has faded it will stay faded. So it should not affect the pigment in the plastic but only bromide, the substance that causes the plastic to yellow.

I had to look for the spare screen for a long time because that type of damage is unrepairable and they dont make new screen anymore. Luckily I found somebody who had a broken device with functional screen and they were willing to sell it for me. Since he also had the switches I also bought those from him even though I think I could have fixed the broken parts as well.

After changing the screen and one of the switches I had to replace the battery contacts. The original ones were in very bad condition and some of them were broken. I took 0.2 mm thick sheet of brass and pressed the dimples to the metal with a special tool that I designed just for the purpose. The brass is so thin I could cut it with scissors. I was very similar to cut as as thick crafting paper, so I still could get the wanted shapes easily. The brass was nickel plated to protect if from oxidation in the future. The original contacts were plated as well but some acidic solution had leaked from the batteries, which had dissolved the nickel. My nickel plating tutorial: www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3DCexCLoGQ

The Most Unnecessarily Complicated Antique Tape Dispenser [Restoration]


Эта реставрация находится на почтовом автомате Chauncey Wings Sons до 1920-х годов. Этот инструмент — одно из самых сложных и сложных устройств, которое я когда-либо видел для дозирования ленты. Современные затраты на копирование чего-то подобного были бы астрономически дорогими. Вы можете увидеть оригинальный патент 1894 года здесь: patents.google.com/patent/US519185

Зритель прислал мне этот конкретный инструмент несколько месяцев назад, чтобы дополнить тот, который я обнаружил, в котором отсутствует слишком много частей, чтобы работать. Из этих двух я мог скомпилировать один полностью функциональный инструмент.

Я обработал пескоструйным аппаратом почти все детали и закрутил их очень мягким латунным кругом, чтобы не поцарапать латунные детали. Ручки, казалось, были сделаны из вишни, сильно покрытой лаком. Я удалил старый пожелтевший лак и нанес толстый слой шеллака на вишневое дерево. Пришлось переделать деревянный валик, который сидел в держателе клея, так как он отсутствовал.

Первоначальный держатель клея был отремонтирован и заполнен водой, чтобы я мог использовать ленту, активируемую водой, которая у меня была.

После реставрации и заточки резцов диспенсер для ленты работал очень хорошо и был на удивление простым в использовании. Может быть, я буду использовать его время от времени, чтобы склеить специальные пакеты, которые я отправляю.

Я хотел бы поблагодарить Evapo-Rust за спонсорство этого видео.
