From rust to glory: The incredible restoration of a scale

[@hannahilsenbek688]

Aaand another dad joke.. 😁 Aaand another extraordinary work, well done 👏

[@NTRprojects]

What should I say: I'm getting older and therefore the dad jokes can't be avoided. Thank you very much!!!

[@angelinapearsall1336]

have a hammer about 200 years old from my great great grandfather who came from Holland. This hammer is a family heirloom. I’m not sure what type of metal it’s made out of, it has a leather handle. I’ll pay you $250 to restore her.

[@gioschneider6609]

And now, the philosophical question: did it came first the joke or the part?

[@BB_Chaptsick]

Wonderful job, sir. The scale’s new paint made it look like new porcelain! 👍

[@NTRprojects]

I think so too, that was what I was aiming for! Great to hear it from you

[@bgbthabun627]

I was going to say exactly that!!!!!!!👍👍👍

I just can say I'm fascinated by the care and meticulousness you approach your projects with. Both the restorations themselves and the video editing. The result is spectacular, satisfying and aesthetic. I have been following your channel for about a year now and I think I will not leave anymore. I even consider my support on Patreon. Stay like this. Fantastic job

[@NTRprojects]

Thank you very much César. Much appreciated feedback!

[@hitmydaytoday]

Seeing this scale i was reminded to "the beauty and the beast" this time it was "the beauty and the beer". Great Job.

[@xxPenjoxx]

Wow that blue masking must've taken a long time to do. It was worth it, the paint looked fantastic 👌 The measurement disc was the best. Also, as a Scottish woman, I feel strongly that I have to send you a better beer! 🤣

[@NTRprojects]

I strongly agree on your strong feelings

[@Restorology]

That thing looks incredible. Editing was spot on also. I have a old bathroom scale to restore that I have been putting off but this makes me want to tackle it next. 🍻

[@glennmoreland6457]

Salters is a very old company. The firm began life in the late 1760s in the village of Bilston, England when Richard Salter, a spring maker, began making the first spring scales in Britain. Good video 🇬🇧😐

[@LOTGiscool]

How exquisite! Wish I was a 4 inch tall 'elf on a shelf' watching you work on it up close. You may have to pick me up and move me out of the way at times, but I'd take that as an extra bonus. A very nice job indeed!

[@SilverMKI]

Very glad you could weigh in with this quality restoration.

Very nice restoration! The scale has become really cool. I also liked the part where you turned and milled the small bolts. Top work, nice perspectives, nice cut! 😁🐢

Thank you very much my friend!

This is yet another work of Art! Love the gold pin striping. I learn a ton by watching your videos!

I love how you smooth out all of the overcast from all the parts. People don’t always realize how this can improve the performance of their things. By the way, it looks beautiful, you really rock at this.

Die Einfärbung des Ziffernblatts finde ich super! Werde ich mir für meine Projekte merken 👌

Sehr gute Arbeit, ist bildschön geworden. Klasse.👍

[@iamthegreatpapyrus2905]

Very nice restoration, beautiful colors. Reminds me of the old spring loaded kitchen scale my mom had when I was growing up. It was a bright sunny yellow, which I believe was popular in American kitchens in the 1950s and 60s.

[@HenrietteAndersen26]

That gold paint might not have been user friendly but it is GORGEOUS!! 🤩🤩

[@-PORK-CHOP-]

Amazing, the gold highlights made it look like it was made from Porcelain, very beautiful result.

[@lesliebryce6074]

Gorgeous! Loved the white paint with gold trim. Awesome!

[@reginalawson3438]

[@DCamach]

Beautiful work, really professional! I've a similar one but with a porcelain glazed scale. Your video will be a great help for my restoration.

[@T_B]

This is one of the best restoration videos, with fabrication too, that I've seen! Impressive!

[@condar419]

That was great! Thanks very much for the captioning explaining what you're doing (and the little jokes). The face of the scale turned out waaaay better than I thought it would.

[@CastresoneAk1]

i had one of this since i was a kid, so good seeing it restored.

[@horstszibulski19]

Wow, echt chic, der Korpus sieht aus wie aus Porzellan, wie dieses alte Service, weiß mit Goldrand! 👍👍👍🍺

I would be proud of that, looks beautiful. Well done sir.

[@South-of-Heaven]

@@NTRprojects I was first impressed with your Kitchen aid restore. Yes, he may do the sandblast head thing but you do beer.... best of both. BTW try Moose Drool from Big Sky Brewing from Montana.

[@oorangejuce]

Truly an unscalable video! Great work!

[@billakosl.a3227]

A love sand blasting too Perfect work again Peace of art

[@lwoods507]

What a beautiful restoration! You are very talented, and obviously take pride in your work. A family member had a Salter scale very similar to this - perhaps a 1930s make. It had the same brass face, but was a very pale mint green, it was a very striking combination. But I do like the gold trim you added.

[@jamesfearing9459]

Nice restoration. That cast iron body of the scale is one of the most delicate and precise castings I’ve ever seen. Amazing ironwork.

[@NTRprojects]

Glad you like it! It was really though to sand all this delicate castings :D

[@arthurianking9776]

This is such a beautiful restoration. You've given it a new life.

[@marklammas2465]

A Salter and no battery! On a scale of one to ten, I give that scale a ten. How much does it weigh on a scale? I'm glad you reviewed that Scottish Belhaven beer. I'm in Belhaven country. Do Innis & Gunn Original. Now there's a beautiful beer... 😀🍻

[@JaWek0]

i recently found out that the welding pliers are the best screw drivers😁😁

[@19Bmiller]

Bravo, nicely done. Vice grips have saved me many times. The methods used on the pan were amazing

[@Spitsuurtv]

Was für eine professionelle Restaurierung zeigen Sie uns mit diesem Projekt. Für einen Neuling wie mich sind Sie ein Meister der Motivation geworden. Vor zwei Wochen fand ich beim Ausmisten eines alten Bauernhofes in Belgien eine Salter's No.50 Waage in englischer Version. Die Entscheidung zur Wiederherstellung wurde sofort getroffen. Was für ein schönes Stück industrielles Erbe diese Waage ist. Dein Video kommt genau zur richtigen Zeit und beantwortet alle Fragen, die mir im Kopf herumschwirrten. Vielen Dank für das Teilen Ihrer Erfahrungen. Sie haben in mir einen neuen Follower Ihres Kanals gefunden. Grüße aus den Niederlanden.

[@NTRprojects]

Dann freue ich mich über den neuen Follower und wünsche viel Erfolg beim eigenen Projekt

[@kollerd31]

[@mehpekmezci]

I think, it didn't look like this beautiful when it was produced.

[@opticaltrace4382]

my grandmother has a similar Salter scale. I think from the factory that they were enamel coated. I don't mean enamel paint, I mean proper enamel coating. The pitting on the cast surface wouldn't have been an issue. Also, the fashion of that era would most probably have been blue detail of similar shade to the masking tape you used and not gold. This is just FYI. I always enjoy your restos

[@jaimegomezgarcia7599]

Sooooo beautiful! The difference between the weight of the electronic scale (1677 g) and that of the wonderful newly refurbished scale (approx. 1600 g) may be due to the weight of the bowl containing the tomatoes in the electronics. But that difference does not make the restored one any less beautiful.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Great job, wonderful restoration! I really liked how you did the milling for the screw slots without having a cross table and reshaping back the table! Btw get yourself some threaded sleeves (Gewindehülse), they are pretty cheap and when putting the screw in there you don't damage the thread when clamping in the chuck. And they make working on the lathe a lot easier (and safer) when you want to sand small screws, because with the sleeve the screw is further away from the chuck. You can get them at pretty much every hardware store and you can just buy one or two for every thread size you use. Anyways, very much enjoyed the video. Thank you for sharing!

[@NTRprojects]

Sounds like a good idea. Do you have a link for me by any chance?

[@walmartdog1142]

Very simple, elegant, method for setting on zero.

[@StealthDonut1]

That, good sir, is absolutely beautiful! The paint job you did is perfect, makes the whole chassis of the machine look more like porcelain than cast iron. And I, for one, love your lathe the best of every single lathe I have seen in restoration videos. The fact that it can do typical lathing duties and still do double duty as a milling machine makes this the MUST OWN machine in anyone's shop. Seriously! Do you take beer donations from viewers or do you special order them?

[@NTRprojects]

I always take beer donations ;)

[@StephenLF]

It’s a testament to your craftsmanship that you take time to perfect internal parts that may never even be seen again.
