Vintage Military Trunk Restoration - Forme Industrious

[@nonawilliams468]

Hello sis you are a great crafts man.The end result was FANTASTIC

[@johnnymelendez4836]

Awesome transformation Scott your whole construction process is great.Working between materials and methods. I Thank You Sir Scott .

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Very kind - thank you Johnny!

[@lowtidecustoms1166]

That press trick was outstanding.... great work as always!!!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Glad you saw that - thank you!!

[@MaggieKeizai]

Wow. I'm a sucker for old trunks, and you've done this one justice. The removable base was a great call. I'm glad I found this.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank you Megan! Some time later I will make some handles to finish it properly.

[@CarmenBelcher]

Very cool! I was given my great grandmothers trunk in college for my things and still have it at 36. Almost replaced it but u gave me hope i can just fix the pieces that are falling apart! Hers is solid wood and they don’t make a lot of those anymore....cute doggo too!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thanks Carmen! Yes please get it fixed. You won't regret it, though If part ways with it you may regret it down the track. Yes the doggo is the cutest, and she knows it too!

[@CarmenBelcher]

@@ScottTurnerformeindustrious quick question: the only parts I’m concerned with replacing asap are the aluminum edging because it sliced my leg open and I got 15 stitches. I put tape over it and tore off the rest but I don’t know what to search for to replace it. I now live in Manhattan and there aren’t many handymen here lol...any keywords I can search to point me in the right direction? I kinda want to strip it all down to look like the natural raw rhino box

[@48306jw]

It's amazing how much effort when into making even seemingly mundane things like this back in the day. It's cool to see it restored. Cheers.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thanks John. To be honest, it took me much longer that I anticipated! And I was filthy at days end too!

[@48306jw]

No doubt that aluminum dust turns your hands black when you're sanding it. Not my favorite thing to do either.

[@81CoroneR81]

I just found your channel the other night, you do absolutely brilliant work. This particular video inspired me to start my own vintage chest refinishing project 🤘

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Awesome! Thank you for letting me know!

[@cathybenson5119]

Mate, anyone gives you a thumbs down for using your CNC machine for the box is a piker. You did a great job on that trunk. 👍👍👍👍👍👍🇦🇺

[@claire2430]

I love your work Scott ... and I don’t do metalwork. You’ve inspired me. I’ve got an old square (cubic?) military box with brass catches that my dad had. I’m going to clean it up and paint it a “proper” colour. Cheers.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thanks Claire. I hope you do get to restore it. The brass will polish beautifully!

[@copasetic216]

This is excellent. I like how you go about little things. Also, two thumbs UP for using the CNC... work smarter, not harder. Great video.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

To right! Thank you!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

That's too not to :)

[@Ollaris]

Came out great Scott! The aluminum bending trick is just genius!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thanks Sebastian! I'm just glad that it worked :)

[@Ollaris]

Scott Turner do you plan to fasten the box to the base?

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

No, the bottom of the trunk has ribs like the top. the base nestles nicely into the side of the ribs so it stay put. But I will have to check with the boss and see what she wants.

[@Ollaris]

Scott Turner Always do that! I don’t recon there’s going to be any problems tipping the box when when opening the lid, if there is some stuff in it.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

No stuff in it yet, but it is stable with the lid open. Cheers!

[@Abe.Wassenstein]

Thumbs up for using the CNC, saved you a lot of time.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Yay! Thanks and yes that's why I got it. Cheers!

[@DillonNichols]

Using the press to make those bends was awesome! Never would have thought of that.

[@Crewsy]

Dillon Nichols That was the Scott Turner mind at work. Very cool idea.

[@TakamiWoodshop]

I think it was some sort of hydraulic press? Yes! it was very cool.

[@xrookie650]

Yep. That was brilliant!

[@jonathangriffin1120]

What's known as a 'joddle block'.

[@Steve_with_coffee]

No kidding, and I have a press and I have had a dozen little projects that I should have used it for just like those tabs!

[@blastermastermaker]

Nice work once again! Thanks for sharing on the aviation surfacing green pad. That looks like it cuts down on a lot of elbow grease. I’ll have to keep my eyes open for one

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thanks Keven. Its 3M www.3m.com/3M/en_US/company-us/all-3m-products/~/Scotch-Brite-Roloc-Bristle-Disc/?N=5002385+3293223502&rt=rud

[@lk9769]

Always find your videos fascinating and informative. This was a beautiful restoration. The contrast between the polished aluminum and paint was excellent. But sorry - the dog stole the show 😉👍

[@udp1073]

would love to be able to do something like that. Amazing job and incredible result! thanks for sharing with all of us!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thanks Cristian!

[@angelsandhealingangelsandh6716]

As always impressive work! Such details come from an artist. In this case you have a piece to transform; in the others, you have created them from nothing to something and makes me remember michelangelo.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Very kind - thank you so much!

[@paulboyle9605]

Brilliant. I was mesmerised from start to finish. A pleasure to watch. Regards Paul

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Great to hear! Thanks Paul!

[@longbow1965]

I thought that you did a fantastic job!! I love how you did the brackets with the press. Nice restoration.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Glad you like it, thanks!

[@duncanoelschig3172]

You've given me a great idea with an old camera case that I have in my garage.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Awesome!

[@MarkLindsayCNC]

+1 for using the CNC - just because! Very cool project!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Yeah! Thanks Mark!

[@awesomearizona-dino]

Thank you Scott, ...Again... very nice work. Like Dillon said... thinking outside the box, very creative.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank you! I'm glad the trunk scrubbed up :)

[@cedricparker7545]

Handles , I need to see how you gonna do it, great job really cool😎

[@wetdewlap8741]

Job superbly done!!! I couldn't stop saying," oh wow, look at how he did that!!!" What kind of dog is that? Looked like the dogs that sat next to the pharoAhs!! Beautiful!! Lovely video!!!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank you! The dog is an Australian Kelpie cross Border Collie. She is beautiful!

[@dimonfallout101]

The bar-bender is simple and wonderful, gonna make the same in my garage! Thanks for brilliant idea)

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

No problem. Yes they are pretty easy to make.

[@thebmac]

Elbow grease in a spray bottle! Amazing! I always thought it would be thicker since it's a grease. Looks like it worked good with that sandpaper though. Nice job on the trunk!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

I'm going to market that grease and make a fortune! Or maybe not :) Thanks Bradley!

[@scousered100]

I now need to buy an aviation corrosion surface preparation disc!! Great vid Scott and love the old school clinkos! Im a sucker for gadgets and tools mate!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Peter so am I! Thanks mate, and all the best!

[@58Kym]

So good to watch. Such great design elements that seem to come so naturally to you!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thanks! Very kind.

[@DonCheke]

Nice find, and a great looking restoration!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thanks Don! It was a worth while save I think.

[@Steve_with_coffee]

Fantastic to see someone using clecos for a project other than racing or aircraft! And why would anyone give a thumbs down for using the CNC for the box? Purist ire? If the companies making these boxes at that time had had CNC equipment everything would have been made on them. The outcome is beautiful, inspires me to fix up a couple old military boxes I have. After watching a few of your videos I'm amazed you don't have 10 times the subscribers you have.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Love your feedback - thank you so much!

[@andrewt.8442]

wonderful work. I especially like how you make something useful out of obvious scrap. That also looks enviably good. Greetings from the beautiful Jagsttal in West Germany.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thanks Andrew. Glad I saved it from Scrap. Hopefully it will have many years left of good use. All the best!

[@danaschoen432]

Scott this is an AMAZING PIECE, but Dude, you broke my heart when you used those pop rivets. Buck rivets man Buck rivets!

[@Fredatbedrock]

That turn out beautiful Well done

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank you Alan!

[@patrickallwood3096]

You make me proud to be a Queenslander 😎👍👍👍 Great job as always Scott.

[@TakamiWoodshop]

@Patrick - Scott used to live in New Zealand - he's ours now sorry. 😎

[@patrickallwood3096]

LOL, fair enough Rob 👍

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

I suppose you think Dave Dobbyn is a kiwi also ;) When I was over there I was referred to as "that fekking Australian". I think that was the last time we won the Bledisloe Cup too

[@TakamiWoodshop]

LOL - geez that was way back in the day!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thanks Patrick! Through and through!

[@DDB168]

Exceptional workmanship.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank you!!

[@Crewsy]

I was trying to come up with a pun about you not HANDLEing this restoration very well but I got nothing. 😉 I look forward to seeing you finish it. As for using the CNC. It’s great to use the tools you have. The same could be said about that magical paint remover disk you used in your drill. It saved a lot of labourious hand work. The wood box could have been made from a nicer plywood though perhaps or had some dividers built into it. Still 3 thumbs up. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

You're right, I didn't handle it very well :) got me! All the best Wayne - thank you!

[@dm3stone]

Incredible job. Nice work.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thanks!

[@christinecahill2874]

Hi, using the CNC for this type of a project is acceptable. It's when people use it and try to pass off the work as if it was all handmade. See what im saying? But for something like this i wouldn't have handcut all of that either...lol very nice project. Thanks for sharing Scott.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thanks Christine for your support! All the best and thanks for watching!

[@TizocLopez]

As always, magnificent job Scott... 🍻

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thanks as always Fernando!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

[@oojagapivy]

Nice repurpose. I still love those temporary rivets you use.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thanks Damo! Yes they are pretty handy, close to essential for correct alignment.

[@MakingStuff]

Nice Job!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank you!

[@bevanward8787]

great stuff! So much experience and ability to admire and learn from - thanks so much for the excellent material

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank you Bevan!!

[@SuperiorEtchworx]

Well done again Scott. The CNC use is cool gotta use what you have and they save hours. I have my laser cutting out parts while I watch videos on the tube right now. Gotta go put a new sheet in . This laser project will be on insta later today.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

The technology is amazing once you get your head around it's limitations and it's correct use. There's no going back. Cheers Barry. I have to call you soon about a memorial plaque also.

[@IlMakerstauratore]

Bel lavoro👍

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Grazie!

[@muddyfences5559]

Nice Scott. You did that trunk justice. The brass chain keepers are deluxe.

[@russellhiscock8426]

Dome nuts... Or, what I thought you were doing... Thread the spacers. No nuts required..

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thanks again Muddy!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Hi Russel. I threaded the ferrules and used a nut as a lock nut. Probably an overkill I suppose.

[@russellhiscock8426]

@@ScottTurnerformeindustrious just a little :) dome nut to lock would be neater though i think.

[@gregkieser1157]

Great work......nice aesthetic.

Hi Scott. I do not recommend using the guard on the buffer. If it catches the part you want it to shoot down and not around into you. It happenend to me
