Outstanding work! No stone left unturned. Really enjoyed this video. Thank you.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Thank you, very much appreciated!

[@k_rat94]

Wow that light bulb, brightly lit after almost 80 years in the dark. Insane.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Yeah that’s really crazy right?

[@Elevenacrewoods]

I am watching a master work. It was an honor sir.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Thank you so much 🙏🏼

Beautiful restoration job you did on that old mining lamp. It looks much better and it works like a charm too. Excellent work.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Thank you!

[@johanschoeman869]

This work is a lesson in craftsmanship. Everyting is neat, from the tools to the workbench. Fantastic attention to the smallest detail. I enjoyed every second. Thank you.

[@Tag-Traeumer]

@@DrHutOfHandcraft Wer an einer besonderen oder seltenen Glühbirne lange Freude haben will, sollte sie mit Unterspannung betreiben. In der Lampe hier könnte ein Widerstand im Batteriekabel dafür sorgen. 5 % weniger Spannung verdoppelt die Lebensdauer einer Glühbirne, 10 % weniger vervierfacht sie schon, und so weiter. Allerdings sinkt die Lichtausbeute im selben Masse.

You carefully preserve pieces of history, this is wonderful! Walter, an eighteenth-century French thinker, said: “He who does not know the past knows neither the present, nor the future, nor himself.”

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Thank you so much for your comment! 🙏🏼

[@jclark2752]

Okay… I really dig the Brass trick! Especially how it gives a uniquely nuanced result! It would look Awesome on historic replicas! Very Clever!

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Thank you so much, glad you liked it!

Well now that is awesome. You do such a Great Job of Cleaning and removing little items and Parts even if they are not seen. Thats whats so Special about you. Take good Care of The Family an be safe. Thank you for Sharing this Awesome Video.

Bel lavoro! Un consiglio... Se usavi una lampadina a led.,facevi piu' luce e durava di piu' la batteria! Ciao!

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Thank you! I wanted to keep the original bulb on it for the video

[@neilhaas]

Nice German mining lamp 1945 end of the second world war. Nice restoration on this lamp. ❤😊👍🤗☺️

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@g4tito0]

friend, you really can't imagine how much I would love to have these tools and equipment to restore, it is truly magical to see you resurrect these wonderful tools, congratulations

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

I really appreciate it mate, thank you so much! I also didn’t have all those tools when I started, you don’t necessarily need everything and the tools add up with time and you also can get a lot of stuff second hand. Just start if you like 🙂

[@tommynygaardjensen8398]

​@@DrHutOfHandcraft why do you use all kinds of means first, you can sandblast it right away, then you remove paint and rust in one work step 🙄

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

@@tommynygaardjensen8398 I could but the most important reason not to do that is that there is high possibility of lead in the paint, because it was used back then. Even though I have a suction system on my sandblaster, I don’t want lead paint fly around my workshop. Second it would take longer, because the paint was very persistent. Due to that the blasting medium turns bad much faster.

[@tommynygaardjensen8398]

@@DrHutOfHandcraft it's a hobby you in the small amounts it doesn't matter it's more harmful to use paint remover 🤔

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

@@tommynygaardjensen8398 Using paint stripper in those amounts is definitely not more harmful than sandblasting lead paint if you use the proper proper protection gear, which I do. Please don’t spread wrong information.

Thank you so much, glad you like the video! Unfortunately I don’t know much about the history. Only thing I know is that it was built in 1945 by a company named “Frivo”

Very nice work, man; and very interesting artifact, far more complex than it would look at first glimpse. For the particular case of a mining device perhaps I would have gone for bedliner spray just to make it look a little tougher; still that glossy black looks very elegant.
