I Restore A 1905 Rusty Lock - Gross Surprise Inside!

[@northernflicker6590]

No way!! That lock is from my family’s business going way back. Corbin Lock and screw out of New Britain, Connecticut. My Grandfather and Great uncle owned the business back in the 20’s I believe. Honored that you’re bringing it back to life. Thanks 👍🏼 I believe the Corbin car (1907) was prior to Corbin lock and screw

[@nahmastay3300]

So cool! Glad you found this video!

[@bugler75]

Wow, that’s really cool 😊👍🏼

[@rolandmeyer3729]

The Corbin family: a part of what made America 🇺🇸 great. Respect for you, sir.

The whole process was fascinating, and painstakingly precise. But the making of a key blew me away! Here I was thinking "so what - you can't use this lock" but this craftsman proved me wrong.

[@timtoulson9662]

Beautiful job , really enjoyed your work. Your attention to detail and patience are excellent. Thank you!

[@cathymorrison8537]

I’m a 75 year old woman. Love watching your work, takes me back to happy childhood hours watching my dad work on similar projects at his workbenches. He was so patient and didn’t mind explaining the steps to a young girl, in fact I think he enjoyed the company while transforming metal working miracles. You do beautiful work!

[@davidanderson_surrey_bc]

Crikey! This guy has a tool for EVERYTHING! I had absolutely no idea some of those devices existed. What a fascinating and thoroughly entertaining 18 minutes.

[@PaintHerWhite]

Using JB Weld as a body putty… excellent. Wish I’d thought of that.

[@jiggermast]

A lovely job & as my late dad used to say, if someone bothered making it, it's worth bothering to restore it. Mind you, It'll probably only be good for about another 120 years! Joking aside, there's no better feeling in the world than bringing a once useful but item back to life, well done.

[@rgarlinyc]

Terrific job - and making the key especially so! 👏🏻👏🏻

[@joeltham1979]

Oh my gosh that so relaxing to watch. I can't remember when I last felt that relaxed, all those sounds and no talking. I have subscribed so thank you. 😊

[@paulaharrisbaca4851]

Fascinating stuff. My husband's a mechanic and he is meticulous about working on muscle cars, but I simply can't get him interested in this stuff. I always hoped help me rebuild my 1951 Buick's engine with me, but he simply didn't care. If it's not a 1965 Corvette or a GM muscle car, he doesn't want to see it. Very cool. Like Techmoan, about working on old stereos, compact radios, etc., it's simply compelling as hell. Probably why YT recommended it to me!

[@taytase]

The key-making was pretty mind blowing. Awesome job!

[@streametal]

@taytase wow,cool community here! You make the world better 👍

[@judyanderson5559]

Fantastic

[@Sal-oi1db]

I live in Southington, just a few miles from Corbin lock! I picked up two just like this and they cleaned up beautifully!

[@vasilisarris6717]

Excellent job. To see a lock that is 117 years old being restored to showroom finish i s incredible. Keep up the great work.

[@streametal]

wow,cool community here! You make the world better 👍

[@AsilverLeaf4Me]

Fascinating, I was thinking of a big legged Dutch Oven Rusted, that I have...when I came across your video...watched it with interest. Always wondered about the internal workings of locks. Thank you, it turned out really well. Such patience and time involved.

[@justincase1778]

So wonderful and beautiful to see a true craftsman at work!

[@irenehaugen6143]

AHMaaazing!!! What a delicate work of art!

[@nolabobo1]

I'm only halfway through this video and I am floored about the meticulous detail of this restoration ! wow!!!!!!! I can't to the reveaL AT THE END!!

[@ulexite-tv]

Beautiful! I collect old keys and have quite a few Corbin keys that have lost their locks... This was sweet. You are very skillful.

[@michaelhopkins6033]

Should not have enjoyed something like this as much as I did, but the pacing and commitment to the restoration made it rather mesmerizing. Beautiful result and thank you for sharing.

[@rosemariemann1719]

Looking at it before starting, you wouldn't think there was any chance of restoring ! But as he said, good job it wasn't ferrous ! 1905, did he say ? Huge amount of work, but how nice to see it like new again .😊 Well done indeed ! 😊 Who'd think an old lock could be uplifting like this ! 😊. It deserves a picture frame as a piece of history ! 🇬🇧💕🇺🇲😊⭐🇬🇧💕🇺🇲

[@EVERGLOW828]

Wow such a beautiful lock and talent you have.

[@macronencer]

The craftsmanship is superb of course (imagine if the original makers of this lock could have watched this video, how touched they might be that someone cared enough to restore it) but I also give full marks for the video edit. The pacing was spot on throughout. Excellent!

[@mrsmuggins8167]

Thank you for posting; you are indeed the Master Locksmith. The lock turned out beautiful because of you.

[@Luminary600]

As a jeweler I find this work to be very interesting and enjoyable to watch.

[@lexiequinus55]

That's amazing thanks for restoring something from the past. 😃

[@tazzie2shoos]

Wow this was so impressive!

[@suraya1224]

I don't know how this video got into my feed, but I was fascinated watching. Your patience, knowledge, & skill are impressive! How long did it take?

[@nevamind68t23]

Same, only it was two-and-a-half years ago and ended up staying LoL 👍🏾 🖤 😁

[@Improbable_Fiction]

This was so interesting and soothing to watch. It also makes you appreciate the art and skill that went into producing these locks when they were initially manufactured.

[@chelseawilkinson3316]

I can’t stand most ASMR videos. But this… metal talks to me and this is awesome! My new go-to channel for relaxation!

[@monopinion8799]

Simply amazing! You just taught me a lot about restoration and the mechanical system of an old lock 🔐! Thank you. 🇨🇦

[@Ryansdove]

So glad I found your channel, what an amazing job! You'd go nuts digging through all the bits of "treasure" my dad has laying around his place.

[@DirectDemocrat]

I gotta say.....that was fabulous. And in some ways thereputic, for reasons I don't quite understand. Well done!

[@backwoods6050]

I love doing restorations like this. Beautiful job! What I didn't know about was Rustoleum's filler primer. Can't wait to try it. Thank you.

[@tonyholt90]

Brilliant especially when you turned the key and the padlock sprung open 👍

[@lucialima781]

É maravilhoso Gratificante ver um trabalho desse Parabéns

[@vickierayhill4637]

Watching you make the key was coolest part!

[@russellthorburn9297]

16:37 What I was hearing in my head as you were doing this: Nice click on 1. Number 2 is binding. No movement on 3. Back to 1.

[@nisankowalsky4125]

gotta love the lpl

[@richiehoyt8487]

Lovely bit of restoration work here, but even 'day 1' I don't think this lock was meant for some Fort Knox - type application. As such, in terms of a "non - destructive attack", I can't really picture Lock Picking Lawyer needing to take out his tools for this one, so much as _glaring at it,_ sternly..!

[@Richard-qx6el]

I watched that with much fascination. Terrific skill.

[@hubertgunpowder]

Wow...Fantastic job !!

[@hazelvicary]

fascinating indeed - I got really engrossed watching the process.. Beautiful lock and amazing key..

[@vicente2955]

Impresionante restauración maestro.🙏👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@sadnessinside123]

That was so satisfying.

[@garymucher4082]

I've watched a few of your refurbishing of old shell type locks now. I would love to see you do that to a Master solid body type lock. That would be most interesting to see how you disassemble one of them and make it work with a new key as well. I always wondered how they were assembled... Thumbs Up!

[@igortokarev8460]

Ваши видео очень интересны и поучительны! Спасибо!

[@majkenwegener7987]

I’m deeply impressed! 👏 And loved watching the process

[@erictopp7988]

Those pencils at 5:00 are the absolute best! I've used exclusively them for years and years, unfortunately they can be hard to find. Pentech Twist-Erase, I really like the .9mm model. So smooth, and the eraser lasts and actually works perfectly

[@brianonthego]

Well done.

[@dmvm2991]

Loved the key!

[@artisansportsman8950]

Excellent job , like the way you used sleeves on the brass pins instead of trying to make as original, very clever.

[@andrewc6385]

Wow. This is unreal. Great work. My favorite part was watching the key being made. Thanks!

[@cecoya]

How cool and you made a key for it as well

[@vickinoeske1154]

I love old locks and that one is a beaut! One thinks of locks like that as simple but they are far from simple. Tfs.

[@jimstark1887]

Beautiful work. No music, just the sound of your tools. I had to subscribe. Looking forward to the next one.

[@richiehoyt8487]

Given the dreck that passes for music in 90% + of videos, I would agree with you, except that, unfortunately, the sound of rasps, files, etc, and, most of all - sandpaper or glass paper on corroded metal are, to me, a borderline form of torture, right in there with nails down a blackboard! Even the _sensation_ - No, even _thinking_ about the sensation - literally makes me wince! (I can't be the only one, though, surely?!) In the unlikely event you ever see me involved in a 'project', I'll be the one saying, "No, trust me, it'll look _waaay_ better with the 'natural' finish..!"

Such little modern equipment but a great result. Great video

[@socrabe]

The creation of the key was fascinating. You are gifted!

[@1954JDR]

That looks like a smaller version of the lock my grandfather kept on his blacksmith's shop, same brand and everything. He kept the key on his watch fob. Great job.

[@TalentedDilittante]

Beautiful! Watching was a satisfying experience, too-

[@mskayla7747]

I'm always awestruck by the keymaking process. Nice end result.

[@The_Butler_Did_It]

The lever springs are unlikely to be made from copper as the metal is too soft to store much energy. Copper is used in electronics for springs that are not under a lot of tension but the ones in the lock are more likely to be made from brass or phosphor-bronze.

[@John-mw3jf]

berylium copper makes a good spring but I would guess it is too modern an alloy for the original

[@skidco1]

Off topic, but minesweeper anchors and chains were/are made from phosphor bronze as they are less likely to set off mines.

[@johnphilippatos]

Yeah, brass most likely.

[@carolhutchinson7763]

Amazing that after all the scraping and harsh chemicals you can still clearly see the writing.

I love old padlocks now!😮😊

[@georgeshelton6281]

I remember during my days in the SART {Sub Acute Residential Treatment} program/group home; the staff members were really smart and strict to have this, chains and padlocks on food storage closets. Also kitchen pantries, so that no one can be snacking on any foods.

[@William_Borgeson]

I love Corbin locks and that one is beautiful, now it's looking perfect. Really nice job with the restoration, on a side note if you ever have one's that you need to make keys for that are locked just get some modeling clay, cover the tip of the key with it about 1/8th thick, cover with baby powder and you have your impression to file. Nice work!

[@stanwooddave9758]

May I suggest that you obtain some "Walnut-Shell-Media," for your Sand-Blaster. You will be shocked at how well it works for getting pits out like on this lock, and leaves such a smooth (almost polished look) surface.

[@SM-vk7dk]

That's amazing! 👍 All that work for one little lock... ☺️

[@Iceblueyes16]

Just happened to stumble across your channel and subscribed! You totally had my eyes locked 🔐 on to watching this video! Excuse the pun! Anyways I am blown away with how you restored this lock so carefully and methodically! It is amazing that such a talent still exists and that you are able to bring this back to life and keep the nostalgia! Will definitely be watching more!
