Great work, that's the first home shaft restoration I've seen. And being a shaft it won't get the same abrasion that a club head does when it hits the ground so nickel plating, even though it isn't as hard as chrome, is perfect.

Awesome! I was so looking forward to this video. To be clear, you remove the head but not the grip before applying the nickel?
@BradMeehan2 жыл бұрын
You see that shout-out ? Definitely take the grip off. I was just demonstrating because I want to learn to re-do the leather wrap on this club before I remove it.

Hello Brad, I saw all your video many times and I learned a lot in a very practical and easy manner, you have educational skills. My question is about the last layer, chrome in particular, it should the last layer after nickel or I am wrong ? Because nickel is a bit yellowisch and will also warnish/corrode. Best regards.
@BradMeehan2 жыл бұрын
Thank you for your comment and the nice compliment. You are correct. Chrome should be the last layer. However, using chrome at home is both expensive and has some safety concerns that I'm not comfortable with until I can do more research. The nickel I'm using is called, "Bright Nickel" so it has the similar color characteristics as chrome, and it's not as yellow as regular nickel as you described. I will have to look into how to protect the nickel from corrosion. I have clubs I restored from a year ago that still look good, but I'm certain your advice is good - and I should look into better ways to preserve it.

@BradMeehan2 жыл бұрын
Hi Bill. Are you referring to the shafts that are coated in that yellow-ish plastic coating? I'll have to look into safety methods for cleaning that because everyone I've encountered was very brittle and I'd have to damage it. I'll ask around.

Unbelievable transformation. Your videos have inspired me to work on some of my old clubs. That being said, do you have any suggestions on refurbishing a set of stainless eye 2s? I was thinking deburring wheel and hand sand for the sole and then media blast the entire head. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
@BradMeehan2 жыл бұрын
Hi, Andrew. Thanks for the nice comment. You're exactly right. I would debur and sand (and maybe the sisal wheel) all over, then hit it with the blaster. Glass beads may give you a better matte finish. Otherwise just do it at a distance to knock down the shine. Ask lots of questions and practice on a junk club.
