Antique Soldering Iron (Blowtorch) - Hot Restoration

[@AddictedtoProjects]

Yours is the *ONLY* restauration channel on KZbin that truly takes this subject seriously. A lot of so called restorers just take sh*t apart, don't really understand the intricate nature or function of a lot of the parts, and they often don't really repair stuff. The usually just take stuff apart, clean, paint it with rattle can, and put it back together. That only gets you there 85% of the way. You Sir, you go the extra 15% and *MORE*. My hat off to your quality of workmanship and dedication. You've earned every one of the 500K subscribers! :)

These exact soldering irons are still produced and sold by Perkeo! Theyre used to solder zinc, e.g. rain gutters, by roofers. I work with one of those almost daily.

[@Boredtubedeath]

Just curious as I've never seen a soldering iron like this before. How exactly is it used? I'm guessing that large diamond shaped hunk of metal on the end is heated up and pressed into something but I'm curious on how it's supposed to work. Do you know of anything that demos it in action?

[@Boredtubedeath]

@@germangamekiller Thankk you!

[@TheLightningStalker]

The iron works by storing heat in the mass of the tip. Then heat is instantly available to melt solder and heat the joint area to soldering temperature. The larger the tip the more heat it can store and the larger jobs it can do.

[@DevJonny]

Have you seen one more pristine than this one hehehe?

A lot of the things he's restoring, are if not mass produced, at least produced in multiples with constraints on cost, schedule etc. and just couldn't have been made with the extraordinary attention to detail and finishing he's giving them, at least without having sold them with a much higher price.

My favorite Restoration Personality is back on stage!

[@paulambry]

Amen. The most meticulous, exacting, patient, uncompromising, artistic and tasteful re-engineer on the internets. Watching your craftsmanship is meditation, and when the result materialises, it's a mechanical transcendence, a restoration epiphany, an apparatus redemption. In this world of gratuitous consumption and obsolescence-by-design, it is a joy to see old objects refurbished in both looks and function, prolonging their utility for many years to come. Your work is an antidote for the insanity of the consumer economy.

I’m hoping you’ll see this @mymechanics because I just want you to realise the impact these videos are having! I suffer with pretty bad anxiety and depression so my head is usually a jungle and whenever I feel myself spiralling down a dark hole or if I just can’t seem to switch my brain off and escape from awful, intrusive thoughts I stick these videos on. For the entire duration, I remain absolutely glued to my phone watching them and my mind completely switches off from the nightmare that is my brain and I just forget everything. I never would have though that something so random like these videos, with such hard and clever work from yourself, would have had such a great impact on me and for plenty of others I hope too! Looking really forward to seeing many more of them! 😁

THIS is how people soldered back in the day? A giant heat sink i front of a blowtorch? Absolute madlads, this looks like something straight out of a steampunk show

[@eggsoups]

Novur This is still how people solder today. Mostly in the copper roofing/gutter trade but other trades still use them too. You can buy this exact model from Perkeo for about $200. If I had to guess, the one he restored isn’t all that old. They collect patina and wear pretty quickly up on the roof- in the sun and rain, being cooked by propane, and being used around acid flux. Not to mention kicking around in the work truck. The ‘iron’ (called a ‘copper’ in this case) is so large because the items being soldered act like a large heat sink and steal lots of heat from the tip- which isn’t such a problem when soldering electronics, hence the smaller irons.

To remove the dents from the tube, use some ball bearings that increase in size until the biggest is a good, tight fit in the tube and drive them through using a hard wood dowel or plastic rod. Use tallow as a lubricant. This is a well-established technique in musical instrument repair. Anneal the tube first. The Jubilee clip (worm drive hose clip) really spoils a wonderful item.

What kind of a sad sack could possibly give Mr. I Make A New One a thumbs down. His videos are so therapeutic, particularly during a one year lock down as we have had here in SE Asia. Thank you sir, your craft work is amazing.

Nice job! Maybe find a chunk of copper to make a second soldering tip so you can keep the original pristine. That would be cool too.

Представить только как это изготавливалось 100 лет назад

[@princip93]

Владимир Варфоломеев тоже задумывался об этом. Ладно он использует современные технологии что ускоряет безусловно его работу по реставрации до пары недель. Но делать такие приборы и вещи в те времена, с теми инструментами. Люди с золотыми руками и безмерным терпением жили в те времена))

I love these sorts of restoration videos. They’re simple and there isn’t any obnoxious dubstep music playing in the background. The only thing that I want to hear is the sounds of metal lol.

[@martinbroward8800]

Well I have been binge watching restoration videos for the past few days. And I must say that you are in a completely different level than anything else I have seen so far. Your work is awesome and you really do a total and complete restoration. Unlike most that are doing a clean up job and call it a restoration. Your work is very impressive. Thank you for sharing

[@mymechanics]

Thanks a lot for being here :-)

NO WORRIES, when his hands are well worn and damaged from a lifetime of rewarding work, he'll just ... RESTORE THEM, and they'll be BETTER than they were originally.

I'm ok when he does normal, smooth parts... but I really flinch when he sticks some of those strange things in there. One insignificant muscle twitch could rip all the fingers from your hand.

When he asked “do you like bananas” i was very confused but i saw that when the part rotated it wasn’t straight and seeing what he said following the question made me die of laughter

[@AiMR]

FYI, that procedure where you are soaking the parts in the vinegar/salt/flour combination is called a poultice. It works especially well at renewing and brightening stone like marble. The recipes for some of these poultice mixtures are very well-guarded secrets, because people make thousands of dollars using this method to renew the polished stone walls and floors of old buildings.

Not only is your restoration projects a work of Art, your video too is also a work of art! Like of a mechanical poem. Very meditative too. Too, maybe only a Master can make a complex project look simple!

[@MikeSmith-su8ee]

Oh boy does this guy know what he is doing.....brilliant every time

[@sherihone]

sigh... this channel reminds me of my dad. I would always help him work on stuff. We usually had to fix and restore tools. He did not have the awesome lathe you have, we would go to this nuts and bolts shop down town, if they didn't have it, they would machine it. This is one of your most beautiful restorations. thank you for letting us watch and learn.

[@anincompoop25]

Your restoration work is incredible, I love the care you put into everything, you truly go above and beyond almost everywhere. However, I think your wood finishing has a lot of room for improvement, I do a ton of turning/finishing. Our method for finishing something like this, a handle turned on a lathe: Sand on lathe: (With spindle going in reverse) 150 grit 220 grit (With spindle going in normal direction) 150 grit 220 320 400 600 Then for finishing we use OSMO natural floor oil/wax, satin. Apply first coat, and wipe part as dry as possible, it’s very important to get it all off. Let sit 24 hours. Appply second coat, also wiping completely dry. Let sit 24 hours. Buff on cotton buffing wheel. This is will give you a polished and shiny finish, that will bring the grain out and elevate the woodwork on your projects to the same level as everything else. It saddens me to see such a beautiful project have a key component neglected. Keep up the great work

[@Ramiiam]

Your restorations leave me in awe of the manufacturing skills of our ancestors.

Great restoration. I used one of these for years. Very similar. Only difference mine had a chamber behind the soldering head. It was difficult to light on humid days. Great to see this preserved.

[@QuantumBraced]

Nice to see the new lathe cutting tool, cutting down on your manual labor (pun intended).
