u made it so pretty and shiny and then destroyed it with fire. WHY THO? my heart hurts.

[@pumpkinking7234]

I agree it was so shiny and pretty, too bad the fire didn't help it at all.

[@PreppingAngel]

This and didn't like the bulb.

[@maggpiprime954]

The fire damage looks like great big greasy thumbprints. I do like the bulb, tho. It's proportionate. I've seen bigger bulbs, special ordered for a client's shop.

[@MrJayArt]

Same literally ruined it

[@helenhogan5032]

Its not meant to be pretty he made it to be different , he did an awesome job , i love it

[@jefferylee9347]

I think it's absolutely awesome , my father is a retired fireman and I'm sure he'd appreciate the time , work and effort you put into restoring it , great job friend it looks amazing

[@have2catchemfishing]

Restore it then burn it? No firemen like it restored correctly OR left alone with the age on it

[@blakester3043]

It might have been neater if you had feed the power cord through the hose. By doing so you could have eliminated the need to drill into the side of the extinguisher.

[@eugenewhipple2562]

thats what i was hoping he would do would been cleaner look as well ...loved the burned look though

[@quakfrosch2298]

Yeah buddy nobody is taking advice from bronies seriously. Grow up, you degenerate.

[@asbjrnkristiansen429]

My thought exactly, lead through the hose. Still, love the project.

[@wanderingent]

@@quakfrosch2298 If by nobody taking advice you mean 56 other people including Nick hearting the comment. Congrats, you went for the low hanging fruit of trolling 101. Maybe the one who needs to grow up is the simpleton ranting on a profile picture? Good day.

[@AvilerED]

Glad I looked at the comments. I thought, as "funky" and out of the box he sometimes thinks, that thought would naturally occur to him.

[@meganbumstead418]

I think the burn effect looks dope, i see a lot of comments saying they dont like it cause it ruined the vintage look but ...*deep breath* VINTAGE ISNT THE LOOK HE WAS LOOKING FORRRRRRR

[@carolinepoole3255]

Megan Bumstead thank you like it looks amazing

[@BellefromOz]

When you decided to do the whole thing it would be cool to angle the flame up the fire extinguisher to create a pattern that looks like the flames were rising up around the extinguisher from the base

[@pumpkinking7234]

Now that it was ruined by the fire I like your idea the poke-a-dot effect doesn't do it for me. :'(

[@randynight2499]

i have an Idea for your fire extinguisher lamp..make a fire helmet out of resin as a cover for the light

[@SixRavenEight]

Ok, I admit it, I love copper and when you said you were going to burn it was indeed yelling nooooo. But!, I bore with you and was amazed at how interesting and lovely the treatment turned out. Definitely funky! It was really fun going through your pot of funkiness, and yes, that is the biggest bulb I have ever seen. Wow! Congratulations on getting your 100k KZbin button, though you have already passed that, and I bet if you wanted to alter it you would turn it into something others wish they had received as their 100k button. What a good time I had with this video. Thanks, Nick. ♥♥♥

[@bmar400]

[@vixwolf2037]

You should sell this to a pub or restaurant. I'm sure there's a perfect home for this piece of functional art. Cool project, nice to see you using some different skills :D

[@mrb4408]

That burn effect looks naff bruv, sorry. Looked good after the polish.

[@divap1694]

i agree would have been better with out the burning

I would have used the hose to feed the wire through and I wouldnt have took a torch to it. Still looks awesome though, great find and great upcycle!

May 13, 2019 - got off work mid day. Now? nearly seven. ALL that stuff I was gunna do on my day off - Nick Zammeti got my day! And of ALL your videos I've seen so far today (about a dozen) THIS one is sooo good. Great topic. Thinking aloud so we can see that it's OK. Planning. Doing. Re-planning. NOT planning. Chancing the ruination of not just a project but an entire video. Speaking of videos - your productions are very well done. I find myself always getting caught off guard with a start or a giggle or the occasional belly laugh. I really appreciate your efforts and find lots of knowledge and great joy in watching. Thank you for sharing...

[@ukzmonster]

Bloody hell soon as you said we need a funky bulb i new it was going to be an eddision bulb but not a light house bulb 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@jg148jg]

True 😂😂

[@almsco]

I would pour a few kilos of concrete into the bottom of the extinguisher to make it more stable.

[@sistersalinagarber2013]

almsco good idea

[@spicybeantofu]

Just a bit yeah so it's more base heavy.

[@andrey_anikin]

Every project, made by hands is great!

[@TheLadymoonstone]

The burning made a patina that was very rustic and the bulb made it funky. Very cool. Congrats on the award. You will hit a million soon and then you will get the nice big button.

[@XXIIXIIIXXXIXXXIX]

I have 2 old extinguishers like this but I like the age on them. If I even wanna brighten one up though it's good to know how. Great video.

[@mszoomy]

I like the natural patina on old copper and brass pieces as well, it was hard to watch him clean it all away

[@christopheralexander8402]

[@frankbags462]

Anyone else having flashbacks to bootcamp watching him scrub this thing?

[@jamesboyd7984]

Hi Nick. The item you pulled out of your tub at 23.05 is an antique copper and brass fire nozzle. These are the main reason you need more than one firefighter holding the hose as it’ll throw you around all over the place! They’ve been replaced by “hand controlled branches” now, which are much safer as you can turn them off rather than shouting at the pump operator to do it for you!

[@donnamealy4877]

I almost started to cry when you started the torch patina...thank Dog for your artistic vision. This is really awesome!😎

[@elizabethpressley6636]

Nick, i absolutely love watching your videos. You keep me laughing for sure. You have the best personality on all of KZbin. In my opinion anyway.

[@pensmyth]

Nick, That was an acid/soda fire extinguisher. They were filled with a water and bicarbonate soda mix and acid would have been in the bottle located in the little cage at the top with a lead stopper in it. Tip it upside down the lead stopper fell out the acid mixed with the soda in the water and a gas was formed and pushed the water out the hose under pressure. They were outlawed here in the states in the early 60's because then would tend to explode when pressurized. The reason you had trouble cleaning it was because it should have been coated with a clear lacquer finish to protect it from the acid which is the same reason the cap was painted. While that wasn't an extremely rare extinguisher it was in really good shape and looked great once you cleaned and polished it and would have been worth a couple of hundred dollars here in the states. You kinda ruined it with the burning but hey I still like your videos so don't quit. What did you do with the basket and bottle that was in it they are hard to find complete.

[@chartle1]

Also how much value was lost by removing the patina? 😉 Watched a few episodes of Antiques Road Show. Where someone lost 200k by removing the "nasty" old finish. But it's not like it's a rare work of art.

[@WatchingNinja]

Lol $200 is nothing.

[@chartle1]

@@WatchingNinja $200"K" aka $200,000.00. They removed the finish on a Highboy to reveal the beautiful Cherry wood underneath. At the time cherry was the particle board of the day. With original finish around $300K without $75K.

@@chartle1 I wasn't replying to you. I know what k means. I'm purely talking about the fire extinguisher, not whatever cherry wood you're talking about.

Only thing that could have made it better I think is if the wire went through the hose somehow lol, its great anyway though

Love the lamp. You should check out the fire light bulbs on amazon. Also, I really want to see you put a waffle under resin and make something out of it.

[@alexandraframe6493]

[@pyredynasty]

You gotta be you, but yeah, I would not have done the burning. Actually thinking about what I would do: I’d go for a gas burner and use it outside. As for the finish I’d go the other way and weather it for a nice green patina.

[@ltd4all]

Although the juxtaposition and irony of a burned fire extinguisher is enjoyable....I did prefer the look of the high polish, with a coating of wax to keep it from tarnishing....

[@majesticcock3308]

that fire extinguisher was really cool up until you ruined it with a torch..... -_- that was your "boo boo"

Restoration is restoring to original state or as close as possible. This is not restoration! Please don’t call it a restoration, it’s a upcycle, it’s recreating it, call it anything but restoration as you’re not actually restoring it, you’re turning it into something new!
