1950's Steam Powered Boat "Pop Pop" - Restoration

[@richardsweeney197]

It looks fabulous and I love the sound it makes!

[@Viktor22...]

Ну как? Мне эту игрушку не игрушка, ну включи мне это, я буду и этим ещё.

[@pfadiva]

What a lovely little toy! Excellent job bringing it back to life. The captain's turban and jaunty mustache were the perfect touches.

[@TheFabrik]

Thank you !! That little captain do the job !! 😅

[@DonKeibals2]

I love that you described the captain's mustache as "jaunty". It's a great word and great description

[@Cornpwned]

Sounds almost like a real engine when it's running. Kids today would never be trusted to handle something that involves actual fire! So cool to see stuff like this exists. Keep up the good work!

[@rizalardiansyah4486]

Heck, I wouldn't even trust their parent to handle this kind of toy!

[@kaorihirasawa3753]

The sound is real… I still remember the sound of the ship!

[@trif55]

I'm so glad my dad introduced me to these in the 90s, many happy memories!

[@danielcolon979]

Which is stupid because children can be taught to cook before they reach double digits in age.

[@Cornpwned]

@@danielcolon979 Kids are a lot smarter and more capable than anyone gives em' credit for these days. Kids used to grow up fast because people used to treat them like young adults. People now only ever treat their children like braindead halfwits from birth, then they're surprised when that's all they ever grow up to be in this life!

[@TysyTube]

😂so funny the Turkish man , love the video , you did a great work, but i didn't understood how is moving in the water 🫣

[@TheFabrik]

Thank you so much Tysy, I don’t know either 😂 it’s oscillation 🤷‍♂️

[@Mariano.Bernacki]

Water in the pan boils, becomes steam, is expelled and propels the boat forward. You now have a vacuum in the pipes and boiler, so water rushes in, is heated, and the cycle repeats. Now you might think that if water is coming in and out that cancels out and so no movement would be possible, but water coming in impacts the boiler front and transfers its momentum, so effectively the water coming in causes no change in the boat's velocity (water comes in, subtracting from the speed, hits the inside of the boiler, adding to the speed, then leaves, adding speed). The ones that have two pipes like this one do not have any water circulation, water comes in and out of both pipes at the same time.

[@TheFabrik]

@@Mariano.Bernacki🙌 thank you ! Now it’s clear 😌

[@janskeet1382]

The steam both pushes and pulls but the shape of the boat means that the push is more effective that the pull, so it goes both backwards and forwards to some degree but the effect of the shape means that it goes forward.

[@TheFabrik]

@@janskeet1382exactly 👍

[@NTRprojects]

Without envy I must say this is maybe the most perfect restoration video ever. Such great work in the workshop as behind the camera as in post production. Be proud of yourself 😊🎉

[@TheFabrik]

Thanks a lot mate ! Probably the most difficult project I’ve ever made. I would like to do better job painting tho…

[@NTRprojects]

No worries, your paintjob is just as fine @@TheFabrik . Key is the temperature around 20 degrees celcius. Spray two light coats and one final thick coat. And keep the recommended time in between coats as exact as possible. But I guess no news for you. May I ask what cam and especially mic you use?

[@NTRprojects]

Nevermind, its all in video description

[@NTRprojects]

Nah info on mic is not up to date, so still would be interested to know what mic you use

[@TheFabrik]

@@NTRprojectsi used the integrated mic of the cam on that project 🙌 something went wrong with the paint. I don’t know what. It took ages to dry… Maybe too hot here, or too thick layers… I’ll do powder coating next time :) hey thanks for the tips I guess I just need to be more patient 😅

[@MH-fb5kr]

As a kid, a million years ago, we could buy one of these for 15 cents at the variety store… days gone by.

[@heleti0000]

A friend of mine just came back from India and brought me two Pop-Pop boats made frm Cola cans. Kids and I had great fun running them around the pool

[@customgrow7109]

No way a million years ago dam did u come over on the mayflower lmmfao

[@Tripleye]

I remember that a billion years ago you could buy a planet with only 1 cent. Those were the good days man 😔

[@survivingworldsteam]

You can make your own using a coke can, straws, and milk carton or tin for the hull. There are numerous videos and webpages that show how, just google "Make your own pop pop boat." I helped my son make one for a science project, it was a lot of fun for us both.

[@Adam-wr2rg]

I just bought one for 25PLN from flea market, looks half as old as here and im having a time of my life, I used to say good days are gone but its the simple things that make you smile

[@jeanbonnefoy1377]

I am speechless. As many others say, it is probably your best restoration job ever. From a pile of rusty metal to a fully functional happily chugging vividly coloured little steam jet boat (love the noise. And the moustachoied marroon copper turbaned captain!)

[@TheFabrik]

Thank you so much 🙌 I thought it would be quick... I spent an entire month on that one 😅

[@Kim-the-Dane-1952]

Your attention to detail, as always, is outstanding. Thanks for also showing all the steps on the engine and I am happy that unlike the live steam locomotive you restored, the heat did not affect the paintwork

[@TheFabrik]

Thank you very much ! The painting on the loco was heat resistant too. The decals were a bad idea 😕 I should have painted the letters. Mistakes are the best way to learn 😀

[@mrmatt4742]

You made some very good calls. The pickling, even going to so far as to make new parts of some of the pieces that were too damaged to fix.

[@alunjones8407]

I was sitting here in Houston, Texas watching this video on You Tube, when I realized my sister and I had one of these boats in the fifties. I contacted her in Bristol England and she vaguely recollected it. Neither of us recalled who gave it to us, or who bought it as we were spending our summer holidays as usual at our grandparents in North Wales. The boat we had was silver in colour and didn't work all that well in rough seas, so we only ran it in a large bathtub. The fuel we used was Methylated spirits, though I do have a recall using Mothballs/ Naptha, but that is rather vague. Anyway thanks for showing it and bringing back memories of our childhood. Regards, Nick Jones

[@TheFabrik]

Thank you very much 🙏 Always touching to bring the memories back 😌🙌

[@mikeanderson2730]

Cutos for taking care of items important for our history! Remember these boats from when i was a kid, true value in a toy that was not just beutiful, but had fun features. We use to build these out of wood and run them, speed competition, with carosene. Great skills, good eye for details, "the mustasch.." and solid choice of item restaured. You Sir, are a true professional!

[@TheFabrik]

Thank you very much🙏 Always touching to bring the memories back 😌🙌

[@terminalpsychosis8022]

That was a lot of work to rebuild the heart of the little machine. Very fine metal bending and soldering. Impressive. Nice touch with the electroplating, under paint & varnish. This little ship will have a long life now. Awesome project! Protip; take a burnt wick (very short) from a common tea candle, to put in the parafin tub. It will concentrate the heat. Also, you might experiment with slightly different length tubes. Maybe a small extension on one side, just 2-3mm or so 🙂

[@TheFabrik]

Thank you very much 🙏 I noticed the original tubes had different lengths so you’re right it must be useful🤨 thanks a lot for all these precious tips 🙏 I really wanted to try a candle but it was such a windy day, it was very difficult to light the fire 😣 Thanks again 🙌

[@survivingworldsteam]

Beautiful work: you did a great job making another boiler for it, and I thought your paint job turned out great. I have a larger pop pop boat than this that was made to resemble the Titanic. It was made in India, which is apparently where production shifted to when labor in Japan became too expensive. You can also build one of these using a soda can and straws for the boiler and a milk carton or muffin tin for the hull. I helped my son make one for his science fair project; it worked just as well as the Titanic one. I have them both still.

Wow, nice job. The Sound of the Boat really surprised me😮.

[@glovere2]

This reminded me of one of my favorite anime films from Hayao Miyazaki called Ponyo. A magical tale about a little boy who meets a magical fish and falls in love with her. They have one of these boats--super-sized by magic-- and they use it to sail around trying to find Ponyo's mother. Voices by Liam Neeson, Matt Damon, Cate Blanchett, Betty White, and Tina Fey. Great film. Great restoration.

[@TheFabrik]

Looks like Ponyo’s boat definitely !!

[@glovere2]

@@TheFabrik There’s a metaphor in there somewhere amidst the vinegar baths and sandblasting. Ponyo’s love for his magical friend restored and transformed her. He risked the pop boat journey over the troubled waters to connect with his family and protect his new friend. You take the discarded and broken things in the world and restore them to life with your own special magic and you inspire others to do the same. It’s a noble pursuit.

[@TheFabrik]

Thank you very much 🙌 It was supposed to be a quick restoration, only 4 parts…. I spent an entire month 🤷‍♂️😅

[@thefez-cat]

The oscillation effect is really neat! The engine generates steam in the boiler, which expands and travels down the exhaust pipe (with a pop) that shoves water out of the pipe (or pipes in this design). This pushes the boat forward in accordance with Newton's Third Law. As the boat moves forward under momentum, the pressure inside the boiler drops and sucks water back in (the boiler also contracts, producing another pop). This water is boiled, more steam is produced, and the cycle repeats. It also has to "burp" occasionally to release air accumulated in the boiler (water contains dissolved air).

[@TheFabrik]

Thanks a lot for these explanations 🙌
