BOOT JACK Restoration - Rusty cast Iron sandblasting and powder coating

[@taslon7132]

You file off rough iron casting before you go about other tasks... This means it actually ends up better than it was to begin with. Total respect for you and your workmanship! Another stunning result! Cheers from Hobart Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺

[@oneshotGamingMY]

I dont even know what it is until u used it in the end. LOL

[@nickoleary1760]

Haha I watched most of it just to figure out the use

[@janambrose4917]

I have one that is all black. Belonged to my Grandmother. I display it proudly in my front entry. Love how yours turned out.

[@koffielogik]

me too....

[@ronlheureux7623]

Well, the Boot Jack term indicated to me that it might secure the heel of a boot to make it possible for a lone person to remove their boots unassisted. I swear, that did occur to me. Lol. If it were called a "boot bomb", I would assume that it was for self foot amputation.

[@mikedonato7413]

That beautiful

[@devl6673]

Huh. My grandparents had a pair of these in their house that they used for decoration. Never new they had a purpose beyond something to put on the floor to kick in the dark.

Awesome Restorations it seems all channels on any topic all have music on their videos. I find your videos really unique and relaxing because there is no music. But hey if you put music on I would still watch.. keep up the good work 👍

Yes, very relaxing

Being from Texas I knew immediately what it was 🤠. Nice job.

[@AwesomeRestorations]

ha ha Thanks - I guess that yo have a lot of boots there ;-) :)

[@dezfan]

My Mom had one of these when I was a kid. I called it the boot bug. My Dad used it to help remove his boots. If I remember right, it was black with different colors on its back.

[@supermariomaker2glitchhunt329]

I came on KZbin to watch ‘Crochet’... ended up watching all your vids!! Brilliant

[@sparkmed]

My grandfather had the exact same boot jack!!! It was always the way the "before" picture looked. Never could have imagined how is might have looked when he bought it! Thank you for sharing this restoration!

[@AwesomeRestorations]

funny that he had one like this :)

[@SirDokk]

Too funny. My mother just a few weeks ago gave me the exact same one! She had outside in her garden for the past 15+ years near the Oregon coast. It is still in excellent condition, though covered in about 50% rust and 50% original black patina coating. However it doesn't have any country of origin marking on it. Not sure if that makes it original or a knock-off.

[@MetalHead5787]

Must of watched all your videos more than once I love your work and I could watch them all again :) 1 of my favourite channel's. Good Work 👍

[@AwesomeRestorations]

[@5cloudwalker]

I sincerely doubt they make these things anymore. I like the way you go the extra mile to improve the metal work. Probably not cost effective back then BUT a little love and TLC makes an object sing!!! pure poetry 😊😊😊😊👍🏼👏🏻

[@apkelly01]

I'd one of these up in the yard to take off my riding boots and muddy wellies. I'd kick it around and never thought of it as an antique as you'd pick them up in every hardware store here (I'm in Ireland). I'll look at mine and see if it's from Taiwan too. Great job by the way, looks amazing! I love these videos! I wish my beadblaster in work was as good as yours! We use silicon carbide and water.....fire risk with what we blast. Keep up the excellent work!

[@AwesomeRestorations]

thanks for your comment :)

[@jasont3348]

I'm so confused of why you didn't completely finish the sand blasting in one go

[@AwesomeRestorations]

I wanted to polish the horns first. Polishing spread compound all over , so I could remove that from the body by doing the sandblasting of the body later ;-)

[@a2martires]

@@AwesomeRestorations you also used different sand and pressure right?

[@a2martires]

The sandblasting really feels satisfying. 💓💓

[@Kaari4]

omg i have this in my house!!! Use it as an ornament. I've had it for 20 years!!!!

[@__seeker__]

My grandfather had this exact one. It was his father’s. It’s now my uncle’s and I just saw it again yesterday at Thanksgiving lol Except his is American made. Not Taiwanese.

[@moxie6389]
