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.

[@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.

[@randytravis3998]

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 ..

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)

your excellent videos remind me of why I liked metalwork so much at school!

Nice to hear that, thanks :-)

Agree 👍🏻

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

LUXURIOUS AND STYLISH the final work... ...a PIECE OF ART!!! Thank You for the video!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@TheH.W.]

I always wonder. Every little piece he does comes out as a piece of Art

[@zbeast]

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

[@Jethro.Maloku-le.Rey.Kalsitran]

I'm sure you're right

[@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. 💕❤️💕

[@jamesfield5346]

I truly appreciate you keeping the patina on the interworkings...

[@wrecksandtech]

Where’s the other lock picking guys at?

[@maddiedeakin-berry2324]

What I love the most is how you make everything you restore like a valuable piece of art that you would never want to ruin, even something as simple as a padlock which is an everyday object to most, when you restore it I would never want to use it because it looks that gorgeous and pristine, you're not just a restorer, you're an artist as well 😊

[@weissksw]

It all comes down to the touch of the masters hand.

[@howtoavenge1016]

some of the things he restored he uses in his shop

[@toodark6]

@@howtoavenge1016 Such as the vise used in this video. I just watched that one last night and thought, "hey, that looks really familiar!" Also, there's the Beverly Shear that's from another previous video. Likely some other stuff in here, too, but I haven't watched all of these yet.

Can we just address the fact that this guy MACHINED and THREADED a piece of metal just to straighten it out!?!?!? Mad props to the dude.

Next up to restore: His sandblaster.

The torn off finger tips is a real distraction.

I love all the restore channels but you are the best. You do every single thing properly.

[@MrGfmassot]

Where on this earth did your learn all these skills? Absolutely amazing attention to detail and if it's missing, you just create it. Kind of like that guy that took a lump of clay and made man!

[@mymechanics]

Nothing is impossible ;-) Research is key

[@jeanvaljean9890]

You can learn the basics at Swiss schools of mechanic but its not gonna bring you all skills in the video without, in my opinion: a lot of practice, curiosity, perseverance, patience.

[@christophergovernali4305]

Not only are your restoration skills second to none but your camera work and editing are unreal.

Me neither, but I can make an excellent Entrecôte for that... 😋

[@rival_son]

Check out Lockpicking lawyer for normal locks, this one is pretty unusual

[@steelfalconx2000]

You see, when you put the key in that engages the flux capacitor which starts up. Upon turning the key at no less than 88mph the flux capacitor immediately takes the lock back to a time when it was open. And voila!

[@jackpast]

Chloe Meyers gotta believe he opened it with the key before he put final rivets on.

[@johnbourlier7883]

Don’t worry I gotchu. *clears throat* ... When a mommy lock and a daddy key love each other very much..

[@kellyallen9732]

Awesome. Some really complicated bits in there to remake too. I know nothing about making things so watching you take everything apart, clean, repair and rebuild is a real education for me. Thanks for sharing.

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.

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.
