1920's Cast Iron Kitchen Scale - Restoration

[@stefanschneider3681]

As always - a masterpiece! First the scale itself and whoever built in first place, then watching your talent excel on restoring it and - I repeat myself, I know! - the filming and editing, fantastic job.

[@TheFabrik]

Many thanks Stefan. Always a pleasure to share it with you 🙌

[@PaulinesPastimes]

I agree completely, just beautiful.

[@RestauracaoLab]

Muito lindo mesmo

[@olivialippington8493]

Never thought that the scale would be that shiny! Good job with this restoration! I really love those camera angles! How you let us see the details,the cracks and holes and how you fix them. It made me feel involved just by watching and not just like "stay in that corner, look from there" Thank you for your hardwork 😁 Ps. Am I the only one who feel relax watching his videos? I feel ASMR tingles watching his restoration.

[@TheFabrik]

Hey Olivia thanks a lot for all these nice words. This is exactly what I’m trying to do in the workshop... Get the viewers involved, just like if they are with me ! 😀 I’m so glad you felt it 😌🙌🙌🙌

[@RestauracaoLab]

yes and very satisfactory

[@wayneandrus240]

This video is a great teacher that shows how much skill, serious care, and patience it takes to do this extremely high quality of restoration work.

[@TheFabrik]

Thank you very much ! I confirm, it takes a lot of patience 😅😅

[@jmcm737]

What can be said, beautiful outcome, thank you really enjoyed watching you transform this to a thing of beauty an useful item

[@jonriggs5889]

Beau travail, très technique ! Cette balance est magnifique et peut s'intégrer, en décoration, dans tous les intérieurs. En plus on peut s'en servir... Vive les confitures...

[@LocomotionMotion]

Gosh I've got the exact same kitchen scales, and restored them too. I painted mine gloss black though. Nice video :)

[@TheFabrik]

Thank you !! I still have it too ;)

[@veb92168]

That's one of the most beautiful set of scales I've ever seen! Very well done!

[@mskayla7747]

Very nice. Another rusty relic, saved from the scrap pile. And returned to its former glory.

[@luciecomeau67]

malgré le fait que mon père travaillait les métaux, je ne m'habitue pas de constater à quel point les métaux demandent beaucoup de travail et de finesse pour être restaurés, considérant que chaque métal a son propre petit caprice. Belle restauration bravo de donner une 2e vie à ces objets

[@TheFabrik]

Merci Lucie ! 👍

[@alanharney5278]

Very nice! I wonder how many people would have used such a thing at home? Really like the beautiful work on the brass face. On a side note, I was making a daube provencal the other day and wished I had some chanterelles from southern France to put in it. And a nice Bandol rose' (preferably "Le Pont") to go with it. I haven't been to your homeland since 2011 and I seriously need to visit! Merci beaucoups Mr. Fabrik!

[@TheFabrik]

Yum yum ! I prefer to drink red wine with chanterelles but I understand you so much ! Glad that my videos make you travel to France😃😃😃 Merci beaucoup Alan ! A très bientôt !

That scale fought you all the way but it is absolutely beautiful now! I was surprised at the amount of porosity in the casting but after filling, sanding and powder coating the scale looks brand new. I always look forward to your restorations and thanks for sharing them.

A technique I recently saw was to use a soldering iron to heat up stuck screws and bolts.

[@TheFabrik]

Oh that’s an idea !!! My technique wasn’t bad but it was too hot obviously, eventhough the crack was already there... I’ll try the soldering iron for sure !!! Thanks !!😀🙌

[@bgdavenport]

Beautiful job, but I wondered why you were concerned about putting a bit of heat on the cast iron. Welders regularly preheat cast iron exhaust manifolds to 600 degrees F in order to weld cracks/breaks. Done it myself a time or two.

[@TheFabrik]

Thank you !!! The crack was already there. It’s just it was too hot in my opinion, more than 1000°C... And when the cast iron cooled down it fell apart...

My one and only complaint with these videos is hearing the sandpaper grind things away and that's only because I can't stand the sound. Though it's a small price to pay to watch these great restorations. Love these.

I agree, there's so many videos where an item is 'magically' caked in mud.. but seems to get the 'likes'🤷‍♂️👍

Replacing the brass dial plate with a glass one would be cool too. Then one could see the mechanism in action.

What really impresses me about this build is the re-assembly: how the heck does he know in what order to reinstall each part.
