UNDERWATER FIND Restoration of a Padlock | Kintsugi Style

[@NTRprojects]

Hello everyone, for all of you who might be worried, I just want to say: I WILL NOT USE THIS FONT AGAIN :D. I chose it to emphasize the fairy tale theme. you also don't need to be worried that I will continue to expand my "poetry" on the channel in the future. I just wanted to do something fun & special for you for the start of the year. 👍

[@auChevalierRed]

Nothing wrong with the poetry, the different style or the font. He who doesn't appreciate the artistic originality of this particular video needs a restoration of his own, which you may not be able to provide though.

[@Dawnnbooks]

Phew! Thanx!

[@scottcates]

Yeah, the poetry was good. Just a difficult font.

[@poohssmartbrother1146]

The pinnacle of luxury: Warm blanket, snow outside, hot coffee and cinnamon buns, with a new Dr. Beer video. Cheers to another beautiful restoration.

[@NTRprojects]

That sounds so cozy. Enjoy your Sunday

[@paulorth2251]

Great work on this lock, but I think the gold leaf was a bit over the top. You did get it working again and overall the video was a pleasure to watch. Thanks for sharing. 😁👍🇺🇸

[@NTRprojects]

Hey Paul, When I edited the video I also thought to myself "The cover looked really good when it was just nickel plated". But it was done already and like I said: My hope is, that the gold rubs off on the higher parts of the pitting and reveals a lot of the nickel plating finish. See you on the next one ?!

[@paulorth2251]

@@NTRprojects looking forward to seeing your next video, thanks. Really like your work. 😁👍🇺🇸

[@lesliebryce6074]

Okay, the Amazing Dr. Beer is at it again! Firstly, your videos are absolutely mesmerizing. The editing and attention to detail is a work in itself. Love the added twists, like the treasure chest which makes it fun. So creative. The restoration challenges are varied but you always have a solution. The plastic mold in another video for the coffee grinder was on a new level. Who thought you could bring this lock would come back to life? Bravo Dr. Beer. I am hooked. I will have to buy you a beer 🍺

[@Bob1923Dobbs]

I think the gold would've been fine if you had coated all the body parts, except the rivets of course. Just looked off with the gold AND black. @@NTRprojects

[@invaderoz]

Great Video, could not..or almost not, it was really hard reading the text though.

[@NTRprojects]

Sorry to hear that. Won't use this font again

[@Vickie-Bligh]

Wonderful storytelling, that was sweet. Lovely rescue of a nearly destroyed lock, appreciate the various techniques you used. Well done, Dr. Beer.

[@NTRprojects]

Thanks Richard. It was so much work 🙂👍

[@rtyrsson]

Very nice work! I would not have thought it possible to restore that lock. I was impressed with the poetry! I lived in Germany for many years when I was young and learned German well; and it gave me an appreciation for how difficult English is by comparison. To write poetry in English is impressive! Also, that beer... we had Tucher in the Hunsrück too. But I preferred the Pilsner. Most often we had Königsbacher locally. Very good though. Thank you for your videos. Always a pleasure to watch.

[@MarkMeadows90]

I was thinking this lock would be toast, but with a bit of hard work, this one would be to boast. Lovely work Dr. Beer. Another nice restoration done here.

Hey Fred plating on solder is possible but the solder is very soft so you need to be very careful when polishing the plating

Chapter 12… And there among the appraising crowd stood a woman who badly needed a sign that angels of peace and war were watching over her beloved Knight and that she could find a fairy godmother to heal her father and fight off the evil sister-in-law having almost brought him to his death. A fairy godmother there might not be, but here between a pot of gold and a red beer, she saw a fairy smith. Could this Nibelung offspring be the Irish Goibniu in disguise?” Thank you for the moment of relative solace watching your great contribution.

To fill the pits caused by rust, copper plate the piece. Polish off the copper until the bare metal remains. The pits will be filled by copper. It's a technique used by auto restorers to rechrome irreplaceable auto trim parts.

@NTRprojects Hey, you tried something new out. I've watched entire restoration channels where everything is formulaic and the same, and I'd say trying different things and doing different things like the beer tasting sets you apart from others.
