Antique Dented Oiler - Perfect Restoration

In this video i'm 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. I'm very happy how it turned out and I really like the new look of the oiler. I'll keep this oiler in my shop and I'm going to use it from now on.
I hope you like my work and the video.

Noice! Quick tip, you can probably remove the threaded portions of the can by heating up the solder used to attach it. Might be easier to clean then.

My favorite part about your videos is how there's no commentary or music. It's just patiently working away at a project. There's something almost therapeutic about watching them. Also I dig that you take "restoration" to a whole new league. I've seen lots of these kinds of videos but I've never seen someone go as far as machining new screws and bolts. Also the buffing wheel is my favorite part. I like how you really try to get as many scratches out as possible.

I'd have to agree. I've seen about a dozen channels thus far. And while Hand Tool Rescue does a great job, he doesn't use a polishing buff wheel on the goddamned pump springs. I Kinda want to label this kind of dedication to not...restoration, but some higher calibur. Words fail me. But essentially Restore might mean, clean it, fix the broken parts, and maybe a paint job. But he goes so far beyond, with the polishing, machining new parts. THESE PROJECTS ARE SUPERIOR TO WHEN THEY WERE NEW. Restoration...just doesn't feel adequate a term.

I agree that he is the number 1 on youtube from what i have seen. But only part what i am kinda sad about is that,he was the first youtuber who i started to watch restoring and he set the standars so high that noone can compete with him,that now if i watch someone else it feels like they are missing on details when restoring something.. Would have been much better if i would have seen someone else first and they would seem very good aswell and than gradually i would have found this channel and i would think this dudes restoration is just waaay more advanced (which it is). It is like he is the level 100 from 100. And now if watch anything else,it's not so enjoyable like watching this dude's restoration.

For getting out the dent, use a steel ball bearing (large as you can fit through the mouth) and a strong permanent rare earth magnet on the outside, they come with handles for repairing horned musical instruments, but you can fabricate a handle cheaper. Keep using the magnet to roll the bearing across the dent till its gone. Works like a charm and no weld marks.

@RealHank1791
@RealHank1791 5 жыл бұрын
​@@MilesBader The strength of magnetic attraction to a given magnet is directly proportional to the mass of the ferromagnetic material being affected. The ball bearing provides enough ferromagnetic mass to exert the necessary force to bend the oiler's relatively thin wall. The wall itself would not have enough ferromagnetic mass to bend by itself and thus the bearing is needed and the wall will only bend where that extra force is applied. (Contrary to popular belief even the strongest magnet in the world couldn't do something like, pull a paper clip out of your hand. The paperclip simply doesn't have the ferromagnetic mass needed. The friction of your grip and your strength would be more than enough to overcome the attraction.) Edit: Oh and another gorgeous restoration. Kudos OP. Loving the videos.

@@MilesBader It doesn't really work out as well, the ball tends to stick and roll sluggishly, it makes an already awkward task even worse (you wouldn't use this method when you could access the underside easier with other tools). But heating the workpiece up to around ~700C+ makes it nonmagnetic and slightly more malleable (until it cools down).

You could also fix it with a paintless dent removal approach. Machine a steel collar that fits inside the filler neck. A stout steel rod with a rounded end and appropriate bends is then inserted through the collar and the dents are levered out from the inside, prying against the collar.

I've seen many 'restoration' channels, but yours tops all of them. You're not just giving the parts a sanding and a fresh lick of paint, you're restoring parts to their original quality, and machining your own bolts or parts when they're beyond repair/missing. Keep it up, these videos are incredibly entertaining to watch
