Really nice job. I am restoring a antique Perfection kerosene heater stove parlor. And just ordered another one to restore for my sister, I never restored these kind of stove's before it will be fun. Thank you for ideas. 😊

[@Restomaniac]

Thank you so much. Hope the video helps you :)

I am a 53 year old woman who loves watching Restorations. I especially like it when I get to watch sandblasting it is the most rewarding to me because you can clearly see the difference as you're doing it that is my favorite and Restorations is watching the sand blast away years of dirt it's amazing to me just what a little bit of sand and pressure will do I haven't seen your show before this is the first one but so far I've only watched about 5 minutes of it and I think I will be subscribing

[@Restomaniac]

Thank you very much for your interest. I also love the sand blasting stage in the restoration videos. I have a little bit of room for now. But somehow I will solve the space problem and I will also sand blast the videos. :)

Nicely done, sir. Brought back it's real beauty.

[@Restomaniac]

Thank you 😊

[@chrismooneyham5279]

What would you use if you just wanted to clear coat a rusting heater. I've already fixed any bad rust so its structurally sound now and I think I want to leave it like it is and maybe do a matte or flat finish clear coat. Or as flat or matte looking as a clear coat could be? Thanks for your time.

[@Restomaniac]

Sorry for the late reply. There are paints that can be applied directly on rust, you can use them if you want. But if you like the current look, you can use clear varnish, but it also needs to be heat resistant.

[@paulorth2251]

Nicely done, sir. This could be very handy in the winter when the power goes out, heat and cooking in a small stove.

[@Restomaniac]

Thank you so much. :) Yes, it is quite simple and useful.

[@marchills4131]

I love these old devices, there's beauty in the old school craftsmanship and functionality of design. Good job and thank you for firing it up at the end. You can't know how satisfying it is for your viewers to see that cheery glow. I do agree with another commenter however that you should have stuck with the original mica window. Both more durable and more importantly, more authentic.

[@Restomaniac]

Your wonderful comments and appreciation made me very happy. I would like you to know that I care about the criticism of the audience. Thank you very, very much :)

Incredible restoration! 👍🏾

[@shedmanx3640]

Personally I think you did a great job. The purist’s comments saying you could have done better are rubbish from people who have no idea how to restore something but think they have all the answers. Sure, there were a couple of dents in the fuel tank which would have taken an enormous amount of work to eradicate; well beyond my skill set for sure, if this was my work. Besides some imperfections give character to the piece and reflect some history. Thank you for all your efforts over the years, and all your future efforts. 🇦🇺👍

[@aliennomad3532]

Great job and fascinating to watch! I'm not sure if you've seen electrolytic rust removal but there is a good Instructible on it (ref. at end). I first came across this method from this article (hence my cut and paste comment from there!). I originally used the method on iron as shown in the Instructable, but I've since used it on other metals so "rust removal" is rather a misnomer. The advantage is it's pretty effortless and gets you down to a good surface without using dodgy or expensive chemicals. It's because of how the process actually works that you can do it on other metals. It works brilliantly (no pun intended- or was it?) on brass and it comes out like new. I have also used it to paint strip old diecast cars for renovation. It has a couple of advantages over paint stripper- it's cheaper and it doesn't harm plastic. After leaving a day or so then a wire brush usually sloughs the enamel paint off, although I have found some more modern ones it didn't. If you can't or don't want to strip down a model and take out the plastic windows, wheels etc. you can leave them on The +ve can still be an old tin can no matter what metal is in the -ve. What is actually happening is that the water is breaking down in to oxygen on the +ve and hydrogen on the -ve. because the oxygen react with the can, it gets rusty. because the metal doesn't react significantly with the hydrogen, it just blows off the loose rust and oxide like atomic sand blasting. Regarding power, I just use a redundant 5v2a wall charger from an old mobile phone. It works fine one the types of things I've used it on up until now, such as diecast cars, brass vases, alloy carburettors etc. I also realised fairly early on that the wire going to the +ve can rots away quickly so I cut open a baked beak cam and put a bend in the corner of the sheet and hang that above the solution to be connect to with a crocodile clip. The other part I use cheap garden zinc plated wire and then trail it out of the solution to connect to the negative. I remember which way to connect by -ve removes the rust, +ve adds the rust. ref: www.instructables.com/id/Electrolytic-Rust-Removal-aka-Magic/

Merhaba; Tesadüfen videonuzu izledim. Hep Restarasyon videolarını yabancılardan izlediğim için (Maalesef) ilk etapda yabancı bir video şeklinde izliyordum. ancak 9.49 dk da "Isıya Dayanıklı Boya" kutusunu görünce inanamadım, sonra ufak bir araştırma ile sizin hakkınızda bir kaç şey öğrendim. Bu vesile ile sizi bu gayretlerinizden dolayı yürekten tebrik eder başarılarınızın devamını dilerim.

[@Restomaniac]

Merhaba Erhan Bey. Evet, haklısınız; ülkemizden izleyenler için (çok fazla olmasa da) böyle sürprizler oluyor genelde :) Ben de restorasyon videolarını hayranlıkla izleyenlerdenim. Gerçi son birkaç haftadır süs havuzlarına merak saldım. İzlemesi çok çok keyifli benim için. Geçmişte tiyatrodan kalan kendi işini kendin yapma alışkanlığından dolayı biraz el becerim vardı. Yavaş yavaş kendimi geliştirmeye sürekli öğrenmeye çalışıyorum. İlginizden ötürü çok çok teşekkür ederim. Sevgiler.

Just a thought. Maybe a little gas tank sealer in it to make sure there are no present or future leaks. Great job, by the way. I love these type of jobs with the tools at hand. Not everybody has the space or money for all kinds of tools. So seeing a lot of "elbow grease" put into something like this and leaving a few imperfections is nice.

[@Restomaniac]

Hello. Thank you very much for your suggestions and comments. Yes, you are right. I will definitely consider your suggestion about leakage in the following works. An image as if it had just left the factory after the restoration is not true to me. I think it should bear the traces of the past, albeit a bit. Thank you again for your attention :)

I purposely won’t watch this video , simply for the fact that the thumbnail picture has already shown me the final restoration result. That took all of the fun and anticipation out of watching the video. This is my own personal opinion and I respect everyone’s take on this. If you do agree with me, let’s encourage the restorers to eliminate the picture of the final project in the thumbnail. The anticipation of seeing the project item come back to life is thrilling. Let your viewers have the pleasure of that. Thanks and much respect to all of the wonderful restorers out there that share their talents with us.

[@Restomaniac]

Hello. I am so sorry to hear that. I respect your sensitivity very much. You are right. Thank you for your comments.

[@robertaugust7425]

I agree. You'd get more views with the added mystery. They'd at least click the video and skip to the end to see, which is better than no hits. ...and start talking. A little history about it, how you found it, and what your doing to it would make a big difference.

Great job, but I think I would have kept the mica window. Glass has a tendency to crack under high heat.

[@Restomaniac]

Thank you so much. Yes, you are right, mica was very deformed, it was falling apart in my hands. That's why I used glass. Thank you very much for your comments.

[@gtb81.]

glass can actually explode, also it is fragile and you cannot be hard on it, when you took it out you broke it in the centre also age does not affect it at all, because mica is a rock

[@thisolesignguy2733]

Great job, that turned out gorgeous! But man, I can only imagine all hours you spent polishing that brass. Just a tip to help, not criticizing, to speed up getting some of the patina off brass you can 'paint' it in ketchup and let it sit overnight. it's not perfect but I use it all the time on vintage signs. you can also use baking soda & water, but it does make a mess. But great job! you definitely got another subscriber

[@Restomaniac]

Thank you so much for your great advice, Steve. I have heard of the use of ketchup in brass and even watched a few videos. As far as I understand it is ideal for a vintage look. I will definitely try it in my next works. Thanks again for your comments :)

Great video. These restorations inspire me to learn the skills so I can pass them onto my little one whose shown a lot of interest in tinkering. My film eye noticed that you seem to have an interlaced field in your video that is making movement look unnatural as the moving object tears. It could have come about from camera or film editor settings. This comments probably coming in late, but keeping the camera set at 1080p and not 1080i, and maintaining the 1080p setting through the edit will make the video lose the tearing/ghosting effect of fast movements. For your video format, it only happens when dissembling and working on a piece which prevents the viewer from clearly seeing the effort going into your work. I'm off to watch more of these vids. Hope you found my comment to be helpful.

[@Restomaniac]

Every time you replace an still working original part. you end up decreasing the value of the object in total. It might not seem like so, but a small thing like the mica can end up being the difference between 20$ and 200$ at an sale. Therefore you should always strive to not replace anything, unless it's absolutely necessary.
