Screw Clamp Restoration [Nickel Plating, Welding, Powder Coating And More]

In this restoration of the old rusty screw clamp many techniques are used, including a new one for me, nickel plating. But I also use well-known methods, such as: welding, powder coating, polishing, hot bluing, filing, drilling, grinding and some others more. The special thing about this restoration video is that I make the nickel electrolyte myself.
▬ What did I do ?! ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
To take the clamp apart, you only need to remove two rivets, then you already have all the components individually in front of you. In the next step, I put the adjustment part in rust remover, welded the contact part, ground the weld seam and then hot-blued everything. I used a punch to knock out the displacement part. I sandblasted the two clamping jaws and the sliding part. I sanded and polished the sliding part with sandpaper (different grits). Then I welded it back to the upper clamping jaw. To be able to nickel plate you need a nickel electrolyte, which you make by dissolving nickel in vinegar, the vinegar turns green. Then I hang the part in it and nickel it. Finally, the wooden handle had to be sanded and sealed with linseed oil varnish. After the assembly, with the new rivets, one has a new old screw clamp again available.
▬ Good to know ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
I used the following tools: Multifunctional tool, pin punch, hammer, rust remover, pliers, welder, welding shield, slag hammer, files, wire brush, propane torch, sandpaper, diamond compound, powder coating equipment, laboratory power supply, lathe, center punch

Tomorrow I have school, but I have trouble sleeping. Then I saw your content and now I'm sleepy because of the sound of machines and tools that make me relax😂

[@Austeration]

That turned out great. I immediately want to run out to the shed and restore my old clamps now. Beautiful job 👍

[@ForgottenShineRestoration]

Thank you very much!

[@shedmanx3640]

Marvellous restoration. I found your explanations of your steps easy to follow, especially the making of the nickel plating liquid and the subsequent plating procedure. Not such a daunting process once you have explained it.

Thanks for keeping the wooden handle. I don't like when "restaurations" trash original parts and remake them. That's not "restoring", thats "copying". Great result!

The glass like finish after welding looks so nice - you later said that it's slag. This is the first time I've ever said "that's a good looking slag" haha

I like your project and the results. But since I have about 40 or more of these clamps, and I actually use them a lot, the fine finish you put on this clamp wouldn't last long on my clamps. Thumbs Up!

[@ForgottenShineRestoration]

Thank you!

[@rabidwallaby84]

Can we see the OTHER side of the clamp, where the crappy weld job was done previously? I'd love to know what you did about that.

[@ForgottenShineRestoration]

Thank you very much and welcome 🤩🐢

[@PainBaton]

Looks awesome, quick tip though. On cast iron you should pre heat before welding because of the carbon content being over 2%. If you don't it would be prone to cracking when it's under stress which might defeat the purpose of the clamp.
