Rusty Arbor Press - Restoration


In this video im restoring a rusty arbor press.

Ever since I started my channel I had an arbor press on my wish list to restore. Not just because its an interesting good looking item, mainly because I want to have one in my shop. So I got very excited when my friend called me two weeks ago and told me that he has found one on the steel waste. Its a small Fehlmann arbor press, theyre very famous in switzerland for making the best ones.
I choose turquise blue for the main body and painted the letters black and I really like how to colour turned out. Unfortunately the table was missing, so I had to make a new one. I first planed to mill the slots on a CNC milling machine, but I couldnt get access to one in time so I decided to make it manually. It took some time to find a way to make them, took even more time to make them, but the endresult speaks for itself. It turned out absolutely perfect. I went with bluing on the gear part of the handle and sanded the handle itself. The name plate was from the previous seller of this press, its a well known seller for machines in Switzerland. As the plate was too damaged to use again, I decided to make my own „my mechanics“ plate out of aluminium. It took me three tries to get it to work and I ended up with a very nice and clean plate at the end. I went with a brushed finish for the name plate, as it fits the other finishes very well.
Overall Im very happy how the press turned out. I really like the contrast of the different colours and finishes and Im more than happy to finally own an arbor press in my shop. This tool will be very usefull and will for sure appear in future videos.

I hope you like my work and the video.

Building a Huge Rotary Tumbler from Scratch - Homemade Rotary Tumbler


I need a tumbler for the current restoration project on the main channel. The parts are quite big, thats why the tumbler itself needs to be bigger. I found a 25 liter barrel in the hardware store and I built a complete rotary tumbler around it.

I hope you like my work and the video.

Antique Dented Oiler - Perfect Restoration


In this video im restoring an antique dented oiler.

My friend found this oiler in the steel waste at the recycling station. I really liked the unique design of it and I bought it from him for $5. It almost had no rust, but it was very dirty and had a lot of dents. The tricky part of this restoration was definitely the removing of all the dents in the can. I want to say thank you to my friend who helped me with this and to his boss, who allowed him to use the tools from his work place. Check out his website (www.huegli.swiss), they do car body repair in Zurich Switzerland. Im very happy how it turned out and I really like the new look of the oiler. Ill keep this oiler in my shop and Im going to use it from now on.

I hope you like my work and the video.

Antique Ox-Tongue Iron - Restoration


In this video im restoring an antique ox-tongue iron.

The ox-tongue iron is named for the particular shape of the insert. It was used in the late 19th century.
I bought this one on eBay for $25. The condition of this item was not too bad in terms of rust. Unfortunately the ox-tongue insert was missing. The handle had play because one nut of the two bolts was missing. During the dissasembling I realized that it had asbestos as termal isolation, I replaced it with parts made out of duroplastic. Duroplastic does not melt, its heat resistant up to around 300°C. As the holes of the handle were not centered, I decided to drill them up and close them with glued in pins. One of the two bolts of the handle was bent, one nut and washer was missing and the used washer was too big. Thats why I decided to make it all new. The door didnt fit at all, so I welded up the holes, and made new ones until the door sit flush with the top of the iron. After that I was able to make the outer contur fit. I choose to turn a few parts black. After the first sandblasting I removed all the scratches and pitting with sanding and then I sandblasted them again to achieve a very nice and even surface finish. The bluing then makes a very nice matte shiny look. I decided to polish the body, but I used bluing on the inside for rust protection.
Overall I really like the look from this iron, how the colors of the wood, the black steel and the polished steel play with eachother.

I hope you like my work and the video.

1891 German Weltrekord Ratchet Screwdriver - Restoration


It was around three months ago when I visited my friend that works at the steel waste. He made an amazing found. He found multible items that were in a very rough condition. They almost had some kind of concrete on them and a lot of heavy rust. This little screwdriver got my attention right away. It was not clearly visible what the function of it was, but I remember that I thought it might be some kind of ratchet mechanism. At home I posted a few pics of it in my Instagram story. It didnt took long for @hand tool rescue to reply, as he has the same screwdriver, just a slightly modern version of it, but similar mechanism. After some research I found some more pics and videos online. The brand is „Weltrekord“ made in Germany and its called „Hebelschraubenzieher“ which meas „lever scredriver“. The model I found was the first ever designed one from 1891. Weltrekord later made some small changes on the design. Newer ones have a small collet to clamp the insert bits and even newer ones came with plastic handles instead of wood.
At first I thought this will be a quick straight forward restoration project. It turned out to be a very tricky one. The most difficult part was definitely the disassembly, it took me three full days to get it in pieces. Heavy rust has done so much damage to all of the parts. Unfortunately the handle cracked when I removed it. I tried to restore it, but it became a huge mess and I decided to make a new one to have a nice and clean look. Theres a 40 minutes version of this video on my Patreon page where I show how I tried to repair the handle. I had to weld up material on a lot of parts and machined and sanded it clean afterwards. That all worked perfectly fine. Some parts have still very slight pitting but overall it turned out very well. For the finish on the steel parts I decided to try nickel plating for the first time and it worked fantastic. I went with a brushed finish and with the nickel coat the parts turned out amazing. I really like the look of the nickel plated parts with the wooden handle.

I hope you like my work and the video.

I make an 8 Ball out of solid Stainless Steel and Brass


I had this idea since I recently discovered how to easily make balls on the milling machine and lathe. As I currently dont know what to restore next, I decided to make the 8 ball. It was a very cool little project. Very accurate work was needed to get all six individual pieces fit together with no gaps. The hardest part of this project was filming the last few shots, because it is so super shiny now and reflects everything. I really like how it turned out and it will be a nice decoration piece to look at.

I hope you like my work and the video.

Antique Kitchen Scale Restoration - The Masterpiece


Last time I scrolled through eBays antique section, this nice little antique kitchen scale caught my attention at the first sight. It was a little bit expensive with a price tag of $75, but I didnt even thought twice about buying it. I fell in love with it right away.
The paint looked very bad, it also had some dents and some signs of its age. It was still working and had a new screw added, I guess someone quickly fixed it before selling. The plate did sit way too loose on the top part, that made me suspicious that it isnt the original one. After disassemling I thought this will be a very quick and easy restoration, but one thing came after the other and it tourned out to be the most challenging one ive done on this channel so far.
I wanted to have a super glossy and perfect paint job. For that reason I applied three coats of high build primer after the regular primer and filler. Wet sanding with 400 and 800 grit made the base super smooth and perfectly even. Then it was time to apply two coats of light ivory. After it dried I masked it again and painted the brillant blue. The paint turned out absolutely amazing.
The old glass cover was too messed up to even try to clean it. I milled a new one on the tiny cnc-milling machine. Instead of painting the back of it gold, I decided to mill a brass foil to put it underneath. I cut some threads into the housing and fixed the class with fake rivets in a brushed look.
The whole mechanism of the scale needed much attention. I had to remake some parts that got destroyed during the disassembly. But the most difficult parts were definitely the aluminium part and the paper scale. This was my first attempt ever in metal spinning. After a few tries I knew how to do it and I was able to make an absolutely perfect part. The scale was warped due to the disassembly with water, so I had to make a new one from scratch. It required a lot of math to calculate all the diameters and angles, but it turned out very well.
I spent a long time thinking about the plate. After my success with the metal spinning of the aluminium part I decided to try to make a new one out of a copper sheet. I made a negative form as a template out of wood and than spinn the copper sheet on it to a plate. After a failed tries, I suceed. The key point was to heat the sheet up before hand to make it soft. I then sanded it all clean and soldered a ring on the back.
The plate, The scale with the aluminium part and the glass cover with the brass foil were definitely my personal highlights of this restoration. I think this is definitely one of the most favourite project Ive done so far. It was very challenging and I had to learn many new skills to get the job done. After all Im very happy with this restoration.

I hope you like my work and the video.

Antique wooden sled from 1940 - Restoration


An antique wooden sled from the 1940s got my father when he was little. The sledge lay in the ground all the time. I came across them during the reconstruction of the land. The perfect project for a new video.

The rohačka sleigh, once an integral part of the inventory of every proper mountain cottage in the Giant Mountains or in their foothills before the invasion of motor vehicles, is today a historical curiosity of lively interest for both the local population, weekend cottages and guests of mountain resorts. Their forgotten last specimens are discovered with joy in the various «stalks» of the barns, where they escaped the orderly and liquidating attention of previous generations. The sent glory of wild rooster rides to us is heard not only from written records taken in the last century, but sometimes also occasionally from the mouths of witness narrators. After all, even after the Second World War, wood was approached in some parts of the mountains by them. It is generally said that this versatile and simple means of transport was already known and used by Gendorfs lumberjacks, which Mr. Kryštof brought from the Alps and settled in the Giant Mountains in the 16th century. Rohačky were used mainly in winter, but they often came to honor even in summer on steep slopes during haymaking.

The first written descent on a sledge took place in 1737 during the return from the expedition to the Little State. The report of the first purely tourist exit has been preserved from 1815. It was on a 7 km long route, leading from the border hut on the Przełęcz Okraj saddle (Grenzbaude) to the Pod Złotą Gwiazdą inn in Kowary. This attraction was constantly gaining new fans. In 1896, about 3,000 stag beetles and the same number of draft horses were prepared for tourists. An association of carriages was even formed, defending their interests and regulating fares on individual routes. Additional infrastructure has been developed, new border crossings and customs have been set up. Tourism became a mass affair, which was undoubtedly influenced by the commissioning of railway lines connecting the Giant Mountains with Berlin and Wrocław in 1866. Winter sleigh rides, similar to the summer ascent to Sněžka, were among the most popular tourist attractions in the Giant Mountains. Fares, depending on the length of the route, ranged from 5 to 16 marks and followed a fixed price list.

Josef Tylš, a forester from Červený vrch, came up with the idea of ​​resuming rides on old timber sleighs from Malá Úpa to Kowar, which were run here at the beginning of the 19th century to amuse the manor and increase the money of the highlanders. Under his leadership, in 1999, the editorial office became the organizer of the zero — trial congress from customs to Kowar. And the descents to Kowary are held regularly, the beginning is not in Pomezní Boudy, but about 3 km lower in the direction of Kowary. The goal is then in Jelenia Góra.

In January 2016, the first rohaček race was held directly in Malá Úpa.

Restoration of a rare vintage ww2 military watch - nickel and chrome plating - Sanford AS1123


This time I´m restoring an old military watch from the WW2-Era.
It´s a Sanford with an AS 1123 movement.

The watch is in a really bad condition. The chrome-plating of the case is heavy damaged, the glass is scratched the movement is full of dirt and stops repeatedly.

I need to grind off the old chrome. After sanding and polishing the case, it´s ready for a new chrome-plating. But i need to add a layer of nickel before. The glass will be polished and the movement cleaned. Unfortunately the old radium-compound on the hands fell off so i need to re-lume the hands with super-luminova. I will add some coffee to it to make it more «vintage-looking».

After everything is cleaned, polished and re-plated, I can re-assemble the movement with some fresh oil. After that, this watch is in a good beat ( 6 seconds per day) again.

I hope you liked this restoration, if so, like, comment and subscribe ;)
