As always, a great video!! My father had a blow torch similar to this one back in the 50's and it was old then! Instead of the heating coil it had a trough that held the fuel under the nozzle that was stationary. Dad almost burnt the house down one winter thawing out frozen pipes! Oh, the memories you brought up with this project!! Thank you.

I've been watching remodeling vs. Restoration videos for a while. The care you put in individual parts is commendable. P.S: your cat makes it 1000x better.

[@NealKlein]

No words. The talent and care he displays are humbling.

[@tablist33]

I’m absolutely mesmerized, amazed & mind-blown on your level of commitment to your craft & to return some of these relics back to their pristine conditions, or close to, and making them operable once again. It’s Truly magnificent with what you are able to do. Please continue your craft so we can enjoy🙌🏾

[@yeagerxp]

Beautiful restoration 👍👍👍. Thanks for sharing. Ignore the negative comments regarding the finished restoration. The torch is an antique tool, it could not be made completely smooth or completely shiny. One definition of restoration is return to working condition. And you did.

[@sumwiseguy7737]

As soon as i saw the torch, i got excited. Well done sir. Stunning!

[@mrlauro9150]

Sanding by hand to finish it was amazing . You deserve so much appreciation for your timr

[@willieckaslike]

Brilliant workmanship, & of course all approved by T.H.E. Cat. Thank you for a great video ! I see no reason why an excellent restoration cannot contain a little lighthearted entertainment !

[@Philipasu]

As always, I'm on the lookout for some kitty "Easter eggs" and I only found three: 10:23 Checking the background 12:52 Guardian kitty 13:26 The obligatory petting Might be due to the small pieces requiring filming up close. Thanks for the video! Got to say, what an interesting little device, making use of both manual force and heating to produce pressure. Looks simple, but it's shows that some thought was poured into the design.

[@alexboris534]

My wife was buying this kind of torches on flea markets when we were in Austria. Now we have around 20 pices. Thank you for this video! When retired, I'm planning to restore them. I think it'll be a great fun.

[@LP-qf6ue]

Cool to see a restoration with common tools, and leaving some character instead of making it "perfect." 👍

Indeed... A real restoration, not a complete makeover.

I have to admit, that is the best design of those types of torches I've ever seen. Loved the restoration thank you for sharing. I must add; I have been looking for a 'Design' type to replicate and I have every single part from perforated stainless steel sheets, brass glands and T fittings, unions, tubing all sizes and types of o-rings, jets, rods, tap for threads, and a large oiler to assemble it around, thanks again for this video it was a pleasure to watch.

عمل متقن

[@N2NDF]

I had my Grandfathers from when he worked on the railroad. He was a fireman/Oiler. And I also still have his lamps his railroad oil lamp and battery lantern. His tool kit, and official issue wooden tool box. I wish I still had the torch... his was made in 1932. But his pre-heat coil was made of copper(replacement) I still have everything else except the torch. It was lost in a fire at my home when I was younger. Non salvageable. It was given to another family member as a a reminder of my grandfather. His tool set is a full complete original set from the last steam locomotive from where I live. All dates are pre ‘45 stamped. And engine numbered.

[@serenity6415]

I'd love to see those together. It sounds like you have a museum collection.

[@TheJohnRowley]

I bet I’m not the only one who comes back to watch your videos a second time, start to finish 👍

Another cool example of old cutting edge tech. Your restoration is exemplary. You are a true master. I’m always impressed with the great care and effort you put into your restorations. It’s so much more work than just an easy dip in some chemical to bring it back to its old glory - not by far…and your tremendous effort shows. Beautiful job…as usual! Thank you for posting, for our pleasure.

I was holding my breath for you when you were pulling with the vise to take the dent out. I was hoping the threads would not get stripped or pull out. Excellent job!!!!

[@george8873]

Pretty neat trick how you pulled out those dented in parts on top. Worked well. Great video, great final product.

[@andorertekes7376]

it is but its really dangerous... you can damage the thread that way :) its even worse in this case because the thread is part of the main body, and if you cut a smaller thread on it, the wall gets thinner (and weaker), also the original valve wont fit in it :)

Ketchup works well, too. But you shouldn't apply it for more than an hour because it turns reddish.

@@adgee5401 Sorry for my last, maybe rude, answer. All I could read of your answer was "alti5657 Can’t please ev.." so I was confused. Regarding the LADB restoration I personally prefer the original patina. I also know that antique items with their original patina often sells for higher prices than items that have been polished and restored. That goes for coins, cars, motorcycles, Primus stoves... you name it. And as you say, you can’t please everybody.
