Broken Rusty Lock with Missing Key - Restoration

In this video i'm restoring an old broken and rusty Padlock.
This Padlock was sent to me by one of my subsrcibers from Italy. Right when I saw the picture I knew I want to restore this lock and I was impatiently waiting for the package to arrive. I found out that his padlock was made in Germany by Kamp in the 1930s. The lock was very rusty, the key was missing and it seemed to be broken. It was also very rusty inside, all moving parts were stuck and the closing mechanism was broken. Due to the amount of damage on the case due to rust I decided to paint it. This way I can use filler to achieve a nice finish, otherwise I'd had to sand all pitting off and there was just not enough material left to do so. The plates from the mechanism were damaged a lot too, but they were all still functional. So I only removed all sharp edges and gave them a nice bluing finish for rust protection. The aluminium part, where the key comes in was damaged a lot too and had a lot of play in the case. If I would sand it clean it would get even more play. For those reasons I decided to make a new one, I choose bronze because it would fit better to the overall look at the end. Making the key was quite a challenge, but it turned out very well and it actually worked. In my opinion the padlock turned out very well and I'm very happy with the endresult.
I hope you like my work and the video.

lots of homework research ..but when you run the machines you have to think a few steps ahead ..when cutting a part down you need to hold it / clamp it / you want to do as much as you can in 1 set up .. but also if you do too much when you flip the part you might not be able to clamp it ,, over time you learn what you can do in steps . when he made the key that got me .. turned out great but not knowing what the key looked like I got lost at 1st ..

[@meatsmell8639]

While I wouldn't ever dislike one of these videos as the work is amazingly high quality he does a great job of showcasing it, part of me understands why some true die hard restoration fans might be a tad bothered as some of the work he does, isn't necessarily a restoration back to the "brand new" product. For instance the polishing he does on a lot of the parts and the removal of cast marks, that's not exactly a restoration as it is removing some of the original features of a piece (even though those original features are ugly and can ruin the look, it's still removal of original features). Again, I wouldn't dislike one of these videos because while it may not be a restoration to the "like new" condition (it's actually a direct improvement of the original condition, I don't entirely know what the word would be though, it's not an upgrade as it's typically old/antique things, it would be more like refinement? Somethin along those lines), I do still understand why some people would feel that could potentially take away from some of the original craftsmanship of a part/product ya know? For the sake of a bad example, its kinda like how you don't watch videos on restorations and conversations of paintings for the sake of wanting them to repaint over everything, you watch them because you want to see a deteriorating piece be brought back to as close to the original condition as it can get, that being said, this channel is the best of it's kind on KZbin from what I've seen so far, it's not clickbait titles or things people have clearly found in flea markets and yard sales that they've intentionally let rust, it's actual proper antique pieces that he brings life and functionality back to and refines the overall fit and finish in the process, so all around the reasons to like the videos, heavily outweigh the reason to dislike the videos

[@davidmagerman4553]

​@@meatsmell8639, you make good points in your elaboration of why some might thumbs down. Kudos for a solid contribution to the comments. I see what you mean about polishing and removal of casting lines and other blemishes. It could be debated whether this truly represents "restoration". One thing I'd add - In contrast to paintings, form seems to follow function when it comes to tools. For this reason I'm okay with improvements to fit and finish. In most cases I think we witness the best version of the object - One the original creator could be proud of.

You are the gold standard! Fantastic!

[@Givulinovich]

At first I wasn’t going to watch this one. It looked dull & simplistic in the thumbnail. But was I ever wrong. Watching you craft that key was a real eye opener. The mechanical precision was really fascinating. Thank you. 💕❤️💕

If there is one thing I've learned from this channel, it's that only amateurs leave square edges

[@BLACK3737]

The thing is to know, where you should keep them (; But somehow it's purely aestethic thing. I like this final touch, that clearly shows each part has been done with great amount of patience and care.

[@jaikumargangwani1090]

Fantastic job done. Restored better than a new one. The set of machines u own are jus incredible. Only one thing key should have been made into a set of two, I personally feel.

I'm sure this lock never looked this good when it was new.

I'm sure you're right

[@krishnanRan]

Amazing ! So nice to even watch. Just imagine the pleasure of actually restoring such things ! Just beautiful results !

[@MadStacks007]

When I first saw your videos, I thought that you had mad skills, now I correct myself, you have serious mad skills. And give you the well sought after yet seldom given golf clap 👏

Many thanks :-)

[@mathiascp]

it would be nice to see a video where he tells us a little about his workshop and about what made he get each of his tools.

[@yasirbinabdullah601]

Agree 👍🏻

[@realkushman]

I'd like to see any bloopers or mistakes he's made.

[@Warkive]

There are a lot of interesting KZbin channels out there, but for me this is the one that is the most "labor of love". I mean, that piece of stock he used for the key cost more than a huge, new padlock by itself.

[@MirejaGreenald]

Невероятная работа 👍 Смотришь и залипаешь 😉

[@heavymetalgaming7145]

This channel should be called "my magic" cause you are freaking wizard. This is my new favorite channel to sit and relax to. You always restore things perfectly and I can't imagine how much time and effort goes into some of these videos. Your passion for it and skill is astonishing.

[@bentleyalder5492]

I have to say I love every bit of your videos, especially how you respect our time and edit them to a reasonable length. My favorite parts are often when you make new hardware, pins, rivets, screws, bolts, nuts, etc. It speaks to the artistry needed to do these restorations justice. And all work on a lathe is satisfying to watch. Great work, thank you!🥰

I thought this one was going to be an easy one, but I was easily fooled. Once again, it is so fantastic to watch how you "solve" the problems as they arise. I could only dream of having your tools... but the learning process is what matters to me. ♥♥♥♥♥

[@richardlsancibrian9334]

For most of us if we were handed some of these restorations that he undertakes, we would just toss them, as we wouldn't to spend the time and effort that it would take. He's amazing.

[@richardkenan2891]

For some reason, the parts washer is my favorite part of these restorations. Also when you use tools you previously restored to help on your current project.

[@MrTimdtoolman1]

The machine work is what is most satisfying to me. :-)

[@mawage666]

I completely missed the part where you determined how to make the key. But I can't get enough of these restoration videos. Keep up the great work.

[@user-dn9fw6fh6s]

[@alexandrezani]

He didn't show it. Long story short, this is a lever lock. The levers are different sizes and they block the unlocking mechanism. However, there is a groove in each of the levers. (Called a gate) When the gates of all the levers are aligned, the unlocking mechanism can pass through those gates and unlock the lock. So if you measure the levers, you can figure out how much the key needs to move each lever in order to align the gates. That's how tall the parts of the key need to be. (Which is called the key's bitting)

[@markreed2576]

Restoration work is so interesting and shows such great talented gifting. It’s pure pleasure to watch these episodes.
