Old Grease Gun Restoration | Mister Patina
In this Video i restored an old Grease Gun for my lathe! I disassembled the grease gun and restored every part. The main body got a cold bluing finish and the tip was brass coated. After reassembling this grease gun it works perfectly again!

[@lukemagee462]

The brass wheel and flame torch was a neat little trick. Loved that! Never seen that done before.

[@misterpatina]

Hey Luke, iam glad you enjoyed! :-)

[@Grove332]

You can also heat up the part and hit it up with a brass wheel for the same effect!

[@misterpatina]

That’s right!

Excellent restoration job! BTW that's not a grease nipple on the tailstock, it's for applying way oil.

[@sebastianolombardi7001]

Learned a new trick, brass coating with fire ,i think i'm going to use it on my restorations. Thank you mate, and obviously another wonderful restoration! Greets from Veneto, Italy.

[@cHaRlOsSS1]

Ah, so you also make new ones?, I see you are a man of culture as well...

[@jarcher5626]

I believe that’s actually where you oil the lathe . But if you want to grease it, who am I to judge. Like your videos though.

yea, I think you might be right. the grease would only clog up the oil channels. but then again, I don't know this specific lathe. maybe it uses grease instead.

[@BB_Chaptsick]

Great video! Pretty cool trick with the brass plating. I have never seen that done before. I’m looking forward to your next project, sir. Until then, be safe.

[@theodoranorton4779]

My father had a grease gun almost like yours, except that it was brass, the knurling was finer, and the tube had a slight angle. It was the first tool he taught me to use. It was used on the spring cap type of grease point (in the late 1940s). A very enjoyable project.

[@ex-scientia4234]

Like everyone else, I thought the brass coating was a really neat trick. I personally would have repainted the body with blue Hammerite paint like the original paintwork to take it up a notch in aesthetics. Great job again.

[@king_ofdogeii268]

That brass brush trick is a technique that blacksmiths use to give their forgings a nice brass coating.

[@crabtreeshep4969]

Well, I suppose I'm amazed at the brass coating "as by fire" like your other viewers have indicated! Great restoration as always. The new tip was good as well. Great work with the lathe Mr P. Thank you.

Heating the wheel instead of the part seems a bit more safe than handling hot parts . I thought the flame would go out from the rotation

[@M_to_the_T]

Ich find die Methode der Messingbeschichtung cool, aber ich finde, dass das Teil jetzt nicht zum Gesamtbild passt. Auch das Oberflächenfinish des vorderen Teils könnte noch einen Tick glatter sein. Aber das Ergebnis ist trotzdem klasse 👌

[@misterpatina]

Danke danke! Ja das Projekt war eher eine „Spielerei“ für mich, da es ja wirklich mal ein Gebrauchsgegenstand für die Werkstatt ist und nicht wie der Rest in der Vitrine landet 😄 Dennoch danke für deine Anmerkungen! 🙂👍

[@leslieaustin151]

Hmm, a nice job on the grease gun, but you don’t grease a lathe, you oil it. Les

[@-Andreas]

krass die idee mit der flamme und der messingbürste. das habe ich so noch nicht gesehen👀👍 das stellt sich mir die frage... ist das nicht sogar eine indirekte variante des kaltschweißverfahrens? gutes video ... man lernt nie aus.

[@misterpatina]

Hey, freut mich dass es dir gefallen hat! Ich würde es am ehesten als "Beschichtung" definieren, da die Stoffe keine chemische Verbindung miteinander eingehen. Also auf gut deutsch: das Messing "liegt" nur auf dem Eisen. Aber ganz ehrlich, genau erklären kann ich diesen Prozess auch nicht, finde es aber ziemlich cool und es ist recht schnell gemacht :-)

[@-Andreas]

@@misterpatina ich hatte nur diesen gedanken... da das gleiche ja beim feilen passiert. so bald ich mit einer feile stahl oder andere metallische werkstoffe bearbeite und sich die feilenzähne mit den spänen zusetzen,wird die ziehmlich feste verbindung kaltschweißen genannt. dabei verschmelzen die werkstoffe auch nicht. sind aber so gut wie unlösbar. daher kam meine frage. trotzdessen ... cooles video.

[@misterpatina]

@@-Andreas ja das scheint sehr sinnig zu sein. Nennen wir es so :-) Musst du unbedingt mal ausprobieren, der Effekt ist richtig cool! :-)

[@-Andreas]

@@misterpatina das hab ich auf jedenfall im kopf abgespeichert und werde es auch ausprobieren. ich sag ja ... man lernt nie aus 👀👍

[@-Andreas]

aja ... da hab ich ein tip für dich. das zusetzen einer feile mit spänen verhindert einfache schulkreide (tafelkreide). vor dem benutzen der feile einfach draufreiben und die teure feile bleibt länger benutzbar.

I know the video is old. But FYI you should NEVER USE GREASE on your Lathe or Milling machines.

[@GREQ]

Could you mount a silicone or rubber o-ring on the end of the tip for a better seal?

[@misterpatina]

Oh, i really did afterwards, altough it wasnt really leaking a lot! :-)

[@Grove332]

Why does industrial grease always look so yummy?

[@misterpatina]

...but tastes so bad? 😄

[@lkurgpold]

Nice! It’s always interesting to see tools that are different from what I’ve seen before. And that was a neat trick with the brass brush to plate that part! This will be a very useful tool for your workshop! I have to admit that I did get my hopes up when I saw the old chipped blue paint. Ah well. Some day you’ll paint something blue!

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

Before starting with disassembly you need to level the work surface. :-)

[@martinpanev6651]

Wow! This is what I needed! This, as always, is absolutely amazing... Let me guess... You got it from Ebay? :-D You did a great job making the tip too! Coming from a machinist, You did a great job! (Edit) One thing, You dont put grease in lathe's tailstocks, you put Way Oil (Iso65) because it is sticky... Otherwise... You are absolutely wonderful at restoration! Also, where did you get your lathe from and what company is it... If you can find a manual, ready it as it should (Hopefully) say what oils and greases to use :D (Sorry, another edit, I have lots of questions) What oftware do you use to edit your videos? They look jaw droppingly good! Also, I didnt know that you could brass coat things... I am definitely going to use that! One last thing... Your lathe tool is sticking out a lot! But somehow your talent makes it better!

[@bsheedy7639]

Very cool indeed... Hmmm, will the colour on the metal casing chip off over time? Not familiar with the lindseed oil & bluing agent combimed... Great vid. Fan, Sydney Australia.

[@misterpatina]

Hey B! Its basically not a color, its cold bluing. Its a chemical reaction which creates a layer of black corrosion, which makes the stell rustfree. So it wont chip off ;-) Hope i could explain it understandable. Thanks a lot! Greets from Frankfurt, Germany!
