How's it going, everybody? I hope ya'll safe!
In this episode, I'm restoring an old fishing spoon, which been sitting in my tackle box for a few years. I was leaving it wet in the box multiple times, so corrosion got on it pretty bad and old plating starting to look like crap!
Luckily I learned how to electroplate at home at a very low cost, and result was pretty darn impressive!

Love it! I've also been playing around with these processes, seemingly right along with you! I have had that same problem with all of my attempts to plate with nickel.... and my power source is the same as yours! That explains so much! it's 1:00am, but I'm still tempted to pull out all the chemicals and find a piece to plate, just to try it! Thanks for such an informative (and well edited) video!

[@Take_And_Make]

Thank you, Jared! I’m glad this video was helpful for you! Good luck on your projects!

[@adamnapolitano432]

The fact people were able to discover and understand electro plating whatever and how it works is a truly remarkable discovery.

[@Take_And_Make]

True story!

[@Aleeknives]

This was really informative and I thank you for showing us about the power supply being incorrect, I'm sure that'll save a bunch of us some time! Awesome video man

[@Take_And_Make]

Thanks a lot, buddy! I'm glad you like it!

[@adamsons2890]

Nice job,walleye killer,I believe you’re in Edmonton. Nurse signed a nice contract. So much talent on that team.

[@Take_And_Make]

Thanks!

[@bangpow3907]

If i did this i'd immediately lose it on a log, nice work!

[@Take_And_Make]

Hahaha, that's why I haven't used it since!

[@ЕвгенияКудинова-ч3с]

[@glorytoukraine.against_wars]

I know that I was late and there is no excuse for me, but with such a lure you can now empty all the rivers and not only! LOL😅👌

[@Take_And_Make]

Thanks a lot! 😁

Looks great!👍

Thanks, bud!

[@CalPil0t]

Nice, I have some nickel plated hardware on an old machinist chest that needs a redo. Thanks for the tip on lower current.

[@Take_And_Make]

Thanks! I'm glad it was useful for you!

[@andrewfisher1051]

Very nice! Probably stronger finish than when it was new.

[@Take_And_Make]

Thanks, Andrew! Yeah, I think so too! :)

[@humphrey3000]

That was very informative. Thanks!

[@Take_And_Make]

Thanks! I'm glad you learned something!

[@humphrey3000]

@@Take_And_Make I was wondering where did you get, or how did you make the solution for the nickle plating. Also you mentioned it had to be plated with copper first, but I didn't see that either. Fantastic to see though. I really loved it.

[@Take_And_Make]

@@humphrey3000 I brewed it myself, both Nickel and Copper. It's fairly easy, you put vinegar in your jar and a tablespoon of salt, put to electrodes(copper or nickel) and hook power on them and let it run for a few hrs until you see saturated color, blue for copper and green for nickel. Maybe I'll make a video tutorial on that one. Good luck!

[@humphrey3000]

@@Take_And_Make Thank you, Sir. I'm very interested because I do vintage clock and watch work. From the actual watch and clock components to the tools we use, lots of stuff is nickel plated brass. So, this would be a very handy skill to have, indeed.

[@felixmikkialmosttoasted3911]

How long did would it take on your next go from start to finish. ? Do you think a tumbler or vibratory polisher would work over night?

[@Take_And_Make]

Paul Fladeland Once everything set and your parts are clean and degreased it will take around 10 min to plate. I don’t have a vibratory polisher

[@truegrip2281]

Hi sir ! How did you make your platting solution with your anode? Nickel plus muriatic acid sitting in the bath for a night ?

[@Take_And_Make]

Hi there! No, I did mine with vinegar and a table spoon of salt. Put nickel anode and cathode and ran it for a few hrs with 12V and 2.7A Cheers!

[@truegrip2281]

Thank you ! I'm making one for zinc plating right now. - 25g of zinc - 75g sodium hydroxide - 1 liter of demineralized water Will tell you how it goes !

[@geoffreygoldberg448]

Nice work. I think that I am going to get a 0-12V adjustable power supply.

[@Take_And_Make]

Good choice!

[@popla-popper]

When you finally go fishing🤪

[@Take_And_Make]

Hopefully will go soon!

[@ВячеславДодонов-и5ц]

Ну и отпи...л же ты эту блесну! Даже коты не похвастаются таким блеском своих достоинств) Как бы добиться хорошего глянцевого покрытия без рукопашки?

[@Take_And_Make]

Да я ее особо не полировал, так стальной ватой натер, но вот в подготовке да, шкурил до 600 грит
