Lamp Restoration [Easy Removing Patina From Brass, Sandblasting]

In this restoration of the old rusty lamp, I use simple means (flour, salt, vinegar) to remove the patina from the brass. In this project I also show you how I remove the rust from the parts by sandblasting, but my tasks also include sanding, welding, painting, filling, cleaning, polishing and working on the lathe. You can find out whether the lamp lights up again at the end in this video!
▶ What did I do ?! ◀
I removed the rust from the old lamp by sandblasting. A hole was drilled in the base of the lamp, which I welded shut again, as the hole made no sense to me. After all the unevenness had been filled with filler, I sprayed the parts with spray paint. The frame is made of brass, which was covered with a layer of patina. I removed the patina with simple means (flour, salt and vinegar) - this works very well. These parts were then polished. I washed, sanded and polished the remaining small parts. Immediately after reassembly, a light went on for me too ...
▶ Good to know ◀
I used the following tools: Rust remover spray, combination pliers, side cutters, screwdriver, wrench, sandblasting cabin, corundum abrasive, pin punch, hammer, angle grinder, multi-function tool, milling attachment, copper, welding machine, welding helmet, filler, Playing card, spatula, sandpaper (various grits), sandpaper file, isopropanol, cleaning cloth, spray paint, adhesive tape, knife, flour, salt, vinegar, spoon, cling film, washing-up liquid, brush, polishing bench, polishing paste, lathe, file

Another incredible restoration, keep it up and please never lose your amazing sense of humour 😀

[@ForgottenShineRestoration]

Thank you very much for your kind words! 🐢

[@HannahMattox]

PLEASE don't forget your safety goggles when grinding! My dad got a metal sliver in his eyes and it took away about 40% of his sight after having the surgeries it required to get it out.

[@shemer00]

My dad had the same issue from it as well. I remember he had to have surgery a couple times from doing that.

[@ForgottenShineRestoration]

😱😱 oh that's horrible! Thanks for the tip!🐢

I knew a man who got the same thing (hammer and metal chisel) he finally lost his eye after 5 surgeries...

Love it. I’m really pleased you took Turtles health into consideration. Covering his eyes before the weld was very considerate. I know you have been complimented before for this. Again great work and say hi to red Turtle and blue Turtle. 🐢

[@Xukencio]

I have searched a bit more about the lamp you have there and here is what I found: Its a Model Matador 2768 Table Lamp made by Christian Dell for Bur Bunte & Remmler (BUR) in England during the 30's. Looks like you found quite a jackpot there, these lamps are selling in worse condition for about 500€. I really enjoyed your video.❤

[@ForgottenShineRestoration]

Oh wow, thank you for your research! 😱🥰🐢

[@ToolsandTime]

What a beautiful result. I like the color choice also, well done!

I like the colors! I think it will look nice in your new workshop. When I saw the green, I thought, "Oh, that looks like sage. It looks like the workshop's walls." It's perfect for your new space!

[@ForgottenShineRestoration]

Thank you! Yes, that's right, the color is almost the same as on the walls... 🐢

[@cozycalicocrafts680]

[@-c3202]

This video had everything! Fun camera angles, great closeups on the flour/salt/vinegar mixture, good safety warnings, turtle getting to help clean, that amazing turtle playing card....chef's kiss! And congratulations on your first member!!! Is anyone able to explain why this project didn't need a base coat of paint? Does it have to do with the type of metal?

[@ForgottenShineRestoration]

Thank you for your wonderful feedback!🐢 The manufacturer of the paint spray states that this paint does not require a primer, the surface should only be grease-free, dust-free, etc

[@-c3202]

Ламповая лампа стала после ремонта! 😊 Черепаха будет греться под нею теперь!

[@prozack1312]

Beautiful work as always. But also everyone should know that mixing vinegar and baking soda does nothing as a cleaning agent. When you mix an acid and a base, they basically cancel each other out; when you mix vinegar and baking soda, what your left with is water and a type of salt called sodium acetate (and sodium acetate can actually CORRODE brass and cause stress cracking). The reason the mixture seems to work on brass is because of any residual vinegar after all the baking soda got converted (if the ratio was actually a perfect 1:1 there’d be no residual vinegar and it wouldn’t help in removing brass tarnish at all). Next time just use plain vinegar.

[@nicohert5260]

Very nice restoration! Next time try to use ferruls for the wireconnection 😊

When you were polishing that brass by hand, the flashing back and forth is the sort that can trigger sensitivity to flashing lights! Just letting you know in case you wanted to add a warning to future videos, so now you know what to look for 👍

[@joelboutier1736]

Absolutely beautiful lamp. Your turtle should be proud. You are right... electricity is dangerous. Personally, I would have chosen a power cord with and earth/ground wire since the lamp has a metal frame.

You should hollow grind your screw drivers so you don't damage the screws. They should fit snug in the slit, otherwise you just need a fatter one. Its a common trick with gun smithing.

Excellent work, as always. At first, I wasn't fond of the colour but by the end, I liked it quite a bit. After seeing and being confused by Mr. Turtle so many times, I finally figured him out.

Wieder mal eine klasse Arbeit. Ich benutze übrigens die selbe Spachtelmasse, da muss man schon ein bissel fix sein. Über die Farbe kann man sich streiten, je nachdem wo die Lampe zum Einsatz kommt (solche Lampen sind ja auch momentan in ). Ich hätte sie in einem kräftigeren Grün gemacht, aber passt scho ! Für Messing benutze ich handelsübrigen Reiniger, hab keine Lust rumzupanschen.

То отверстие, что вы заварили в основании - появилось не просто так - лампа такой конструкции не слишком устойчива :( очевидно, что ее прикручивали к какой-то поверхности. Очень элегантный подбор цветов, даже шнур питания в цвет. Пожалуй можно было переделать заклепки на другой крепеж - они выглядят инородно по цвету и исполнению
