Forgotten Rusty Lantern - Restoration

[@frankmurphy5]

Nothing more relaxing than watching someone's fingers move steadily toward a saw blade 😁

[@kushalbhaskar4401]

Ha.... Ha ...

[@hamimchowdhury4208]

U can put your finger into a saw blade😂😂😂

[@donkinney3658]

Please use push sticks near saw blades. That segment made me as nervous as a cow with a buck-toothed calf.

He will have a close call or worse and then he will realise. It happened to me and i dont go anywhere near it now

[@ghoulgoil5029]

I was so tense!

[@rlm98253]

If you drain the old electrolyte out of the battery, flush it with distilled water, then refill it with fresh electrolyte, there is a high probability that it will work again. It's worth a try.

[@greenskullfarva]

I believe it had holes in the battery casing.

[@frankmurphy5]

I actually really like seeing and learning about old batteries. That was a nice bonus.

[@channelsixtysix066]

She looks like she has seen the Seven Seas. I like unusual lanterns like this. Makes for an interesting restoration subject. Well done, and yes, brass deserves to be displayed in its natural glory.

[@thomasthompson6799]

I am not that familiar with maritime artifacts but that is a beautiful old piece and good that you saved it. Amazing that the original light bulbs still operate. Excellent work!

[@Saavik256]

Old incandescent bulbs are incredibly resilient things, especially running at low currents.

[@AutumnButterfly]

I was shocked that the bulbs still worked after all that time. You made it into an art piece! Really beautiful.

[@cosmo1012]

Ever heard of a thing called planned obsolescence? It started when a bunch of major lightbulb manufacturers got together and agreed they would make their lightbulbs last much shorter, in order to make more money. They also bought out all the smaller companies that didn't go along with them to dominate the market. Lightbulbs used to last forever. That's a bit of an exaggeration of course, but yes, I don't know when these lightbulbs were made before then, but it's not impossible.

[@AlexIsModded]

This is why I love antiques so much. Older things were made to last.

[@ritalowrie1296]

That was a beautiful restoration. I was quite surprised that the glass was still intact. 👏🏻

[@Cellottia]

S.A.F.T. must have made excellent cases for their batteries: I expected this one to have been eaten through by the acids that appeared to have leaked out, but as your shot at the end shows, the case is still in splendid condition. Nice job, will be watching more of your work 👍

[@tlemon1950]

Your comment about the quality of French workmanship is on the mark, you just proved that! Tres bien and thank you.

[@TheParkAttendant]

Beautiful job of restoration! I have an old sailing ships lantern that used whale oil and was hoisted up the tallest mast at night. I won't sell it! It's a thing of beauty to. Wonderful job on the old battery too.

[@lianakeller6676]

OLD THINGS NEVER DIE! YES INDEED! YOU are MAGNIFICO! I love seeing haw you work. Thank you!

[@nurmaybooba]

I have found this channel and I am again down the rabbit hole of wonder and appreciation for your talent.

[@idawilson7724]

Being that I am 82 years old , happy to hear old things never die ...lol

[@FR3ERUNN3R]

This is like the sixth restoration KZbinr I’ve watched and everyone of them polish the brass. I personally love the look of antiqued brass it’s character. And I know everyone has their own person taste. I just can’t believe that of the hundreds of videos and several restoration KZbinrs I’ve watch not one has left the natural patina.

[@ちょいやまガレージ]

素晴らしい修理技術です。物がよみがえるのは、嬉しいです。作った職人さんの顔が浮かぶようです。すばらしい。

[@doinadventures1282]

Not only are the restorations really interesting but the cinematography and audio is actually really great too!! Nice work!

[@juanramosb.4029]

The french quality is not a real compliment when we galk about french cars, but the quality of the restoration is superb! Nice done!

[@iaraanjos240]

Isso é muito relaxante e satisfatório! Adoro ver o capricho e cuidado com os detalhes. E o barulhinho de tudo, sem música, é perfeito!

[@АлексейНосков-л4э]

Хорошая работа Мастер.Молодец.Хорошо ты разобрался с блоком питания.Радуют лампочки..еще работают...не ожидал..Лайк

[@vanpenguin22]

Yes I absolutely love brass brightness, as well as fresh, bright copper and all highly polished metals. I'm planning to buy a polishing wheel for the bench grinder at the plant just so I can make a few things shiny after watching so many awesome restorations

[@dancoulson6579]

Very nice work. I like the fact that you don't needlessly change things for the sake of it, and only when required (ie, the battery). A lot of people would have tried to add USB charging, LiIon batteries, LED's etc. I would not have liked that. So thank you for keeping what you can intact. I just wish things were still made this well.

[@carlameen7239]

There isn't anything like a good sand blaster. Color looked great, well done.

[@egparis18]

J'aime bien voir le laiton miroiter aussi. You did a grand job. Thank you for sharing.

[@ВадимКузнецов-э5б]

... видел я такой фонарь у соседа, он с ним ездит на рыбалку, а сам работает на железке обходчиком , но ты не реставратор, а реаниматор- даёшь вторую жизнь мертвым вещам!, молодец!, здоровья тебе и удачи!!!

[@karavalle12]

👍Pour une belle restauration ! Surtout, retrouver et refaire des fils à « ancienne » pas évident de retrouver les pièces ! Très bien

[@jacquesb8927]

Nice job. I remember those big batteries, they lasted forever but weighed a ton!

[@blueangel333333]

J'adore tes restaurations !

[@roysontu]

Sand blasting part is the most satisfying part to me.

[@amethyst1826]

Oh yes, same here!!

[@raoulvolfoni1800]

En tant que marin , je peux te dire que t’as restauré un feu de mouillage ( destiné à prévenir les autres bateaux que t’es au mouillage et donc non manoeuvrant ) . J’en ai restauré un aussi , d’origine allemande d’environ 20 cm de diamètre et 45 cm de haut fonctionnant au pétrole . Tout le système intérieur était en cuivre . Bravo pour ton boulot . La lentille de Fresnel est comme neuve .

[@dougmorris2134]

I really enjoyed watching this video as old electrical items are of particular interest to me, and details on SAFT and their connection to French railways especially so. Thank you for your excellent videos. Best wishes from Oxfordshire, Uk.

[@howzatrestorations1538]

Very nice result indeed, those old French bulbs were amazing, well done mate!

[@OldThingsNeverDie-]

I was sure they would be dead, well no 😉

Very nice restoration work... Reminds me of the old railroad lanterns that I like. I am surprised that the lens was in such nice shape. It would certainly have been quite visible from afar. Well done!

For the first time, this is 10/10. But in reality it's 8/10. Good job!

Great first video. But it's also amazing to see how much better you have become in the last 3 years. Keep it up❤

[@thany3]

The paint job looks like it could've been better. Maybe try a different kind of paint next time? Otherwise, well done.

[@Bender13]

I have to agree. Usually powder coating is very good but this looks rough. Maybe better surface prep and using some body filler? Otherwise, it was a nice restoration.

[@olejake1932]

Agree!

Looks like it could go back into service now, not much for area lighting but definitely as a warning beacon. Nicely done sir very nicely done indeed. Thanks and remember Texas is watching.

[@jaquigreenlees]

mast top anchor light most likely. Drop anchor and you are legally required to have a white light at the top of your mast overnight. So any boats coming in after dark know you are there.

mil gracias por el video señor.

[@OfficialMondSly]

funfact: Light Bulbs used to last about 20k hrs, before light conglomerates got together in the 40s or so to hire scientists to make a lightbulb that dies quicker, so people would buy more lightbulbs.

4:26 Funny thing is, "Saft" in German means "juice" and can also be used to mean "electricity" just like in English, so a battery company named S.A.F.T. is named pretty appropriately :D

[@5656eric]

Très bien. Beaucoup de travail je suis sûr... Pour les chaînes de restauration, le challenge est souvent de trouver des objets intéressants / originaux... Good luck

Merci. Justement, je suis en train de restaurer le prochain objet, et je ne l'ai encore jamais vu sur youtube, j'espère que ça plaira 😉👍

[@annettemclaughlin6834]

[@UserUser-ww2nj]

Think i would have gone with a sealed lead acid batter with a fly lead and socket for recharging it . Looks like it would have been a mast light with those brackets , nice restoration saved from the scrap heap

[@michaelalferes7244]

Very nice!

[@garymucher9590]

Nice refurbishing project. I wouldn't throw away the old battery cells. They could be reworked to charge again too...maybe!

[@SharkoonBln]

Size and shape of the battery look quite similar to the ones used in miners lamps. AFAIR they are still in production or available used and reconditioned.
