What all do you use to recreate those labels. I’ve been looking into doing the same thing for a small tractor I have (can’t find the stickers for it anywhere) and was wondering what all went into doing it.

[@PabloSanchez-qu6ib]

I'm pretty sure that the intended use for the hands isn't adding weights but zeroing the scale after weighing the empty jar.

[@AcmeRestorations]

@@PabloSanchez-qu6ib Not based on my research. I doubt dairy farmers every zeroed the scale. All milk jugs are going to weight the same, within the accuracy of this scale. If you need to zero, you don't fix the first hand, you just make it adjustable. Thanks for watching!

What is the Reson for using lead test

[@avenger007007]

@@electroidin3413 Lead is harmful to your health, so making it airborne in the blast chamber would be a bad thing. If lead is present he has to use a chemical based stripper.

Brings back memories for me. I'm too young (68 YO), but I remember one hanging in the barn that my brother and I played with. Thank you very much.

[@AcmeRestorations]

Cool. This one will be hanging in my shop for a very long time. Thanks for watching.

[@batkaanaskn7222]

that comment made my day sir, god bless you

[@raywood8187]

My cat saw Purina and watched it with me. I'm always amazed when original printing and labels can be restored just from a jpg image in the internet. Turned out awesome and what a great collectible to put next to old milk containers!

[@WootTootZoot]

My Dad worked part time as a Purina agent back in the late 40's to mid 50's. Those scales were promotional give away items to farmers that bought Purina feed and the feeding program. I remember him having a box full of those in our garage.

[@AcmeRestorations]

That's awesome!

[@VeradonaRestoration]

The result is great, nice work with the print :)

[@AcmeRestorations]

Thanks a lot!

[@theoneandonlyowl3764]

Nice restoration. I don't remember ever seeing one on the farm in the late '60s. My grandparents had moved from just having dairy cows by that time though too, focused more sheep and beef, and only milked enough for the family and neighbours. I still miss raw milk to this day. Interesting bit of gear. Thanks for the video.

[@RedraspusMusic]

Man, those stencils worked out GREAT!!! Awesomeness as always!

[@willaiml]

Perfect! I love when the graphics are painted back on❤️ nothing more disappointing than a sticker where paint belongs.

[@AcmeRestorations]

I totally agree!

[@ЛёшаНовиков-б7н]

Впервые вижу мастера у которого инструменты в порядке, а не требуют рестоврации! Не скрывает чем пользуется и как! Вот такое можно смотреть! Сделано всё акуратно, красиво... Успехов вам! С меня 👍👍👍

[@polishmachine8303]

Extraordinarily very detailed in restoring weighing equipment, satisfying final results, always enthusiastic and healthy 🙏

[@5cloudwalker]

Whenever I watch one of these I immediately think how is he going to do that? The sanding the removal of rust and the painting the average Joe can do but it takes a tool shop with a sandblaster and welding equipment to do a better job. The stencilling was the key and I was impressed. But the most important part of this whole job was the skilled craftsmen and knowing how something works….. hats off to you job well done. Do you ever wonder when you take things apart that some of these mechanical gizmos are very complicated and how they made the first prototype with trial and error. After which they have to knock out each piece and figure out how to fabricate it on an industrial scale?

[@JustMe-pp8mn]

Beautiful restoration - taking something old and making it useful again. Make a good gift for someone.

[@AcmeRestorations]

Yes, thank you

[@melindamoore9449]

Amazing job! This looked beyond restoration. So satisfying to watch the process. You are a restoration wizard!

[@AcmeRestorations]

Thank you very much!

Very, very nice job. I'm in the process of restoring a 1944 "Wood" U.S. shovel.

[@tommyherbert3931]

Great job on the scale. Like the print on the face. Beautiful.

Nice nice nice. That stenciling stuff is absolutely amazing. I wouldn’t even know where to begin on something like that

[@AcmeRestorations]

Thank you very much!

[@markphillips6154]

@@AcmeRestorations Don’t don’t know if you’re going to keep that scale or not but was wondering what do you think it would sell for if you were selling it?

[@leonasamuel7791]

Great video! Lots of detail work! Nice finished product.

[@morganmeehan5991]

Great job! Happy to see folk who find beauty and expression in bringing back to life some lost or forgotten items. Curious as to what you do with all the items you restore!

[@eduardoatemdecarvalho5891]

Beautiful restoration

[@georgeshelton6281]

This restoration episode has revamped my memory of when I've seen; the most dumb ridiculous got milk TV commercial, my pop/father George D. Shelton once said that. Here's what he really said; "why don't you go to the store, and buy some milk."

[@LoftechUK]

That looks stunning.

[@imchenlanu4711]

Damn cool and the printing pasting part was super awesome ❤️
