In this Video I restored an old Tap Holder!
I purchased this Tap Holder online to give it a nice restoration. It didnt work properly, since the chucks of the Tap Holder were pretty rusty and stuck.
So I disassembled it in every part and started the restoration. Goal of this restoration was a nice Satin Shine finish on the metal parts and to let some signs of history on the wooden parts.
After hours of filing, sanding and finishing i gave every metal part a nice nickel plating. The wooden parts were finished with some linseed oil. I made some small parts offcam, for example some pins, springs and a wooden block for closing the end of the handle.
When the restoration of this old Tap Holder was done, it worked perfectly fine again.
You might can see some small parts with a little bit of rust on it - dont worry, this rust is a result of the cold bluing and will disappear by adding some grease.
I hope you like it!
I hope you have fun with the video! If you have any questions on the used tools, materials or the processes, write it in the comment section - i´ll try to answer as soon as possible!

Nice work. I remember as a child watching a grandfather take items apart at his unfinished basement workbench. He placed multiple layers of old bath towels on the floor beneath the vise. I asked if the towels were there to protect falling items from damage. He said, no, they were there to prevent grandma from yelling at him when items made noise when hitting the concrete floor. I like this memory.

[@misterpatina]

Hey man, thanks for this short and heartwarming story! I really apreciate!

MR.PATINA, I HAVE SEEN MANY EXPERTS DOING RESTORATION 'S ON ( YOU TUBE ) BUT YOUR WORK IS OUTSTANDING BECAUSE YOUR WORKMAN SHIP IS SPEECHLESS, WITH EVERY MINUTE DETAILS.

Hey, thank you so much! Iam really glad you like my work!

[@wayne6318]

Another job that looks better than new. It did show where the "wrong" tool was used and "marked" the spot. I could watch you all day, but then I wouldn't get any of my little projects done, nice one.

[@misterpatina]

Hey Wayne, youre right! Some spots were totally abused with a hammer -.- Thanks! Iam glad youre enjoying my work :-)

I calculated that you filed on that nut for 67 hours straight, impressive work as always! 😉

[@misterpatina]

Haha, how the fork did you do that??? You’re right 😄

[@matui6983]

I found a ratchetting tap holder in that style years ago in a garage sale and after a cleanup got it working again and for tapping holes in confined boat engine-rooms nothing comes close. Have driven M20 taps with it without too much drama. Beautiful job on this one. The Bluing and Nickel Plating contrast is so so good.

[@misterpatina]

Thanks a lot, iam glad you like it :-)

[@AyazRestoration]

[@infin1ty850]

I really had to watch this one because I've never heard of a "tap holder" before. Another great video, I love the work you do.

[@soupwizard]

4:00 "Some filing" - if "some" means "a lot"! You totally re-finished that piece, super nice!

Sin temor a equivocarme... Mister Pátina es la "norma-patrón" en procesos de reconstrucción y restauración de herramienta y artículos antiguos. Son realmente pocos los que logran un producto terminado y que SUPERA su status de cuando fueron nuevos. "Me quito el sombrero" ante Usted, señor mío. WOW¡¡. Saludos desde MÉXICO.

[@jameshoffman1842]

Fantastic job on an old tool that now has another hundred years of work ahead of it...👍👌🇺🇸

[@Vickie-Bligh]

Mr. P, you outshone yourself here. Not only was that a lovely restoration, your videography and editing shine! Your storytelling was spot on and kept me fascinated for the whole video. Lovely, lovely, lovely. How was the new shop? It looked like everything was working, including the air gun!🤣Thanks for sharing this. Have a great day.

[@misterpatina]

Hey Vickie, iam really glad you saw some differences :-) Thanks for your feedback, I really appreciate! Workind in the new shop is such a upgrade, not just because of the tools, bute because i now have some real walls and a ceiling :-D Thanks for watching!

I used to have one of these when I was in school for metalworking (A good 10 years ago.) It was a really old piece, but worked flawlessly. This looked like it was brand new! Lovely job, and I could tell that you had extra fun editing this and adding the subtitling. I appreciate the extra layer of subtle humour! Keep up the good work.

[@misterpatina]

Thanks my friend! Pretty interesting to hear that you know this type of holder. Any idea which brand it could be? I couldnt find anything... Thanks for your support, iam glad you like my work!

[@WinchesterxNL]

@@misterpatina Sadly I don't know the brand. It was already pretty beaten up once I had it. But I know they did exist in different sizes. I can definitely try and search though!

[@peterhobson3262]

My grandfather, who was a mechanical engineer and did a lot of his own machining, had one of those. He got it in the 1920s and passed it on to my father who was also an engineer. I have no idea what happened to it. It was probably made in the US a hundred or so years ago.

[@michael.h.bradley1865]

these tools are also used by boatbuilders for drilling holes in places difficult to access, like in between frames down near the keelson. they were also used by electricians for drilling holes through joists in loft spaces. obviously, they use jennings pattern wood - drilling bits, or similar types. here endeth the lesson ! lol

I agree with others that the close up shots add to the video. Any chance you may make a matching handle for the threaded hole on the other side of the ratchet head. We can’t get enough of your projects

[@furrymessiah]

I hope the irony of a guy whose channel is called Mister Patina, taking every last atom of patina off this tool, isn't lost on anybody watching.

Yeah but my name isn’t 'Mister I leave a little Patina'
