Vintage Paraffin Blow Torch Restoration

[@mr.miyashiro]

As a new sub, I would really love to see a small clip of you using the tool after you've restored it! At least to see if it works....You put in new seals...It should work.....

[@mr.miyashiro]

I can see how much time you spend on your process, and it's very much appreciated. I was talking about the other videos as well as the vice and the floor jack. I would like to see them used even if it's a simple usage of the tool.

[@tubthump]

It probably doesn't work now after all that treatment

[@hmarillejla7]

@@tubthump They work! Provided you fill them up with fuel (kerosene). I have two of those - a liter one which I use to melt aluminum and copper and the other a small one like the vid.

[@citywalker44]

@@hmarillejla7 probably don’t work because pump wasn’t restored All bits he removed and treated will cause lots of air loss plus so many seals needed replacing

[@MickNavarro]

No youtube music, no useless speech, only mechanics, perfect. What kind of mixture did you made for scrap removal ?

[@Cabeza492]

I just would like you to make it work.

[@endomorfo78]

It´s Coke, Salt and Vinage?

[@Maj0r]

Micks you should also check out Born Motorcycle company (BMCO on YT)

[@aideismm476]

Coke as a substitute for vinegar, in the end, it is an acidic substance as well as it is vinegar. So, it's coke (instead of vinegar), salt and flour.

[@NicolasBana]

Coke is actually mainly phosphoric acid and phosphate salts may be more soluble or form faster than acetate salts but in the end it's the acid that will eat the rust away. Phosphoric acid is the main ingredient in a lot of de-rusting products so i guess it works better though

[@Pinoy671]

Very nice restoration. Definetly subscribed. I love the fact there is no annoying music. Just the natural sounds.

[@Hello-wo4sx]

only way it would’ve been a better video is if you used it a bit at the end!

[@S0nicHax]

Totally agree on this, almost felt a little disappointed for not seeing it work :)

[@rickharriss]

Hope the paint you put on the Nozzle is heat proof. It will get red hot.

[@Driessens_Peter]

kaboom! lol

[@jamesexploringonline872]

All good and said, however I personally believe using it could harm his full restoration, However I do get your point.

[@chriscmoor]

Awesome work! I've been binge watching your channel for a couple of days now. One hint about the gaskets. Rather than try to cut them with a utility or xacto blade, take a bit of thin wall pipe the right size. Sharpen the edge with a file and punch out your gaskets. I try to keep bits of stainless steel tube around just for this purpose. I'm forever picking up a bit here and there when it's a diameter I don't already have. This method will work with almost any gasket material from sheet cork to leather to synthetic rubber. In a pinch, even hard copper pipe will hold enough edge to cut one or two gaskets. Keep up the good work!

[@reekz1568]

Love the speed up and how you don’t say a god damn word. Just work and no talk. Good stuff.

[@michaelolin6083]

I really enjoyed this! As a journeyman plumber it makes me truly appreciate turbotorch and B tanks that much more. It was a brutal trade back then.

[@michaelolin6083]

Restore It you got a like and a new subscriber, keep them coming bro

[@randymagnum6680]

When you were putting it in the vise I was screaming "Nooooooo!" to myself until you put the wood blocks in, whew...nice results btw

[@johnm4556]

he used the adjustable backwards so the leverage wasn't working with him but against him lol But still was a very nice restore!

[@ZakFarley]

Same! If it was modern that would have crumpled

[@leynagh]

Still scream Nooooooo ! He's just deformed it without leaving jaw marks, that's all.

[@randyc5650]

I admire your speed chiseling and spray painting technique. I'm old and my fingers don't work that fast. Great job.

[@Bonitavnorris]

I just purchased one from a garage sale. I am so excited to clean it up!

[@agoodballet]

This channel is great. I had to subscribe. Who doesn't love to see old shit become new again? So satisfying, keep up the good work. I can't wait to see the evolution of your work, tools, techniques, and everything else.

[@Raise986]

This and Hand Tool Rescue are some of the most easily watchable videos on KZbin

[@Raise986]

I started watching Hand Tool Rescue and I saw this video, started watching it, and didn't realize it was a different channel they are so similar. Both of you do great work. Will be anticipating the next video

[@Raise986]

Restore It I hope to see some interesting things. Thank you for not using music in your vids. That is the most annoying thing when people do that

[@NoosaHeads]

Something that would be extremely challenging and a testament to your skills would be a vintage camera restoration. There are hardly any people on earth who can do such work. A multiplicity of different skills (electroplating, satin finishes, Jappaning, Gutta Percha making and precision grinding) are required. I lay down the gauntlet sir!

[@gudgengrebe]

Fantastic end result! It was great to see how well it turns out. It looks beautiful.

[@brandonallen5930]

Please do a quick tour of your shop. You seem well equipped. Be interesting to see how big a project you can do. Also would love to have seen you use the torch after it was done!! Great videos .

[@tallbeard7111]

very nice channel you have my friend ,subbed and greetings from the Netherlands.I restored a couple of old vices a few weeks ago i got from my dad, and i'm very pleased with the result,not to mention the money i saved by buying new ones

[@samconroy]

Watched your Air Compressor Restoration last night and since then I've watched all of your other videos. Outstanding content! Subbed.

[@Vormulac1]

Who doesn't love a paraffin torch covered in batter? Awesome! Subscribed :)

[@RookieLock]

Man that turned out great! I love restoring things made of brass, its so rewarding !

[@nobl3six901]

Rookie Lock yeah if you do it right!

[@mubashirali3213]

I am in love with your channel. This more addictive then anything.

[@lesliecollins6114]

When cutting a new gasket, find a couple of sockets to trace around. Great vids. I’m addicted!

[@gutshot4570]

Great video, but I'm disappointed that we didn't get to see it burn.

[@ZerokillerOppel1]

Me too....maybe he makes showponies for his display cabinet only?

[@blatteneverdie5944]

travails de très bonne qualité ! appliqué et méticuleux. mieux que hand tool rescue ! bravo ! au plaisir de vous regardez de nouveau. good job !

[@tonyday7233]

I have refurbished several of these, all Swedish, Sievert or primus, iv'e never thought to use heat proof paint, i just polished them on my buff, using tripoli for first polish, and rouge or josco for final polish, the paint idea is great.

[@borisapantelic7186]

Turning the spanner the correct way round helps unscrew those tight nuts .... you get more leverage having them the right way round great videos 👍🏻

[@Ryan-np4rb]

That damn coupling nut didn’t want to come off huh. Lol. Man you do a great job with these. And you post a new video a lot more frequently than the Hand Tool Rescue guy. Love that you don’t include music to kill the experience too. Great job on these.

[@Российскийбот-ы3у]

Great video but I was waiting for you to light it up. The proof is in the burning, and flames are very VISUAL.

[@irasthewarrior]

Imagine in 100 years from now, someone is restoring this guy's tools that he is using to restore tools.

[@ManMrKrazy]

*grunts* KZbin: demonitized

[@thetomster7625]

love that content, one remark though: for me its also part of a restoration to get it working again - so a demonstration of that would be pretty cool

[@jackliddy4540]

Currently restoring this exact blow torch at the moment this was a huge help

[@gerardcollins1767]

remember to replace non returnvalve rubber plus all seals,

I don't know why but watching restoration videos is very relaxing , like someone watching asmr 😂😂

[@Future_Trunks94]

You should show the things you restore actually working!! That would make it more fun to watch

[@koldleblue5079]

The many attempts of wrenches to fit in the beginning made me chuckle

needs a knipex pliers wrench

[@javilarg]

That’s a stubborn nut! It’s a very satisfying video. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@mrcharles1602]

I have to say I cry a little when I see you use a wood chisel as a scraper!

[@user_i9]

Trying to unscrew that one part... then brought out a vice. I was dying laughing.

[@Sticker-Happy]

They don't make em like they used to.. Most things are disposable these days. Well, designed to be disposable. Love your work, mate! Keep it up! Subbed cause you schooling me hahaha and i find your videos quite entertaining.

[@thomasthompson6799]

Very nice restoration. You should try Flitz for cleaning and polishing brass and copper. You will get much better results.

[@Eytaris]

Hi! that's a great job you did there. I have a suggestion, you should invest in a gasket punching set, I have the Facom 245.J2A boxset at my work and it's a life saver. I know, this set is expensive, but any other more adapted to your needs will save you a lot of hassle and make perfectly round gaskets, without indents that can cause the rupture of the gasket during use.

[@mikethompson6713]

I’m an old plumber and I have one not restored. I wasn’t going to restore it but now........... thanks love the channel

[@NoosaHeads]

It looks factory original - that's much harder to accomplish than a perfect finish. I would refer to this project as a very *sympathetic* restoration.

[@atmvlogs9477]

Wow....Restore With Detailing.....Beautifully Restore......U Got A New Subscriber....

[@andrewlopez314]

Man I would kill to have a workshop like that! So awesome

You are genius sir and so much dedicated towards your job . Lot of love and respect from India (Mumbai) .......

[@mkrfn1323]

Great video. I like the alternate use of the Tormek.

[@Sahadi420]

HE NEEDED HELP!!!!!!! LOL Love the videos........would be nice to see you paint a little in real time.

[@Shooterman1914]

What a delightful video. This is such a great way to do this.

[@marfnl2]

here's a TIP: If you just painted something and you have to tighten a painted screw, Use some paint-tape on the tip to prevent if from scratching the paint. you can also do it on the side of your wrench.

[@DrakeKillah]

Quick tip for removing really stuck bolts, nuts etc. is making a 50/50 mixture of ATF oil and acetone, soak the part in it and wait a few minutes. Works far better than any product I've ever used and I've seen some videos testing it that back that claim up. I have a jar of it handy at all times. It stinks like all hell though, so don't spill it, the smell will stay for quite a while. But it makes taking of 15+ year old bolts easy, used it on a turbo that hadn't been removed since 2003, in Norway, where the salt used on the roads for 4-6 months every winter makes everything rust-weld together pretty quickly. I could remove those bolts with a tiny 1,5 inch long spanner (all I had space for between the turbo and firewall) after leaving the mixture on the bolts for an hour.

[@randypipesh9912]

That nitrile glove torn between your thumb and finger is a staple lmao

[@TRNimen]

Stunning restoration of wonderful object. How many troubled, worn, old devices like this do we walk by each day? Thanks for revealing what's really underneath.

[@connorfraser7478]

Brilliant job again so satisfying to watch. On to the next video

[@alex4alexn]

gotta show us you using the final product, great restore!

[@huusseins]

Smooth and shiny! Beautiful work

[@abubakrbhyat218]

Cool vid, reminds me of hand tool rescue

[@veinjelly4630]

3:57 the way the head of the brush fits perfectly with the neck of the tank is the most satisfying thing

[@mtmchenry]

Cleaned up really good. We didn't get a chance to see it working.

[@Playingwithsettings]

I have the same torch that I'd like to restore, and during a dunk-in-water test, saw bubbles coming from the top of the tank under the main fuel line (under the collar.) When you insterted this tube at 10:42, you didn't use a gasket. Why not? I'm trying to figure out how to ensure a good seal there. Would you squeeze some automotive head-gasket stuff in there, or would it melt from the pre-heat? Do you have any advice on improving the seal there?

[@ufohunter3688]

From junk, to treasure. Well done.

[@cookieboro19851]

When that wire brush fit right inside the hole at the top!! omg!

[@birdie399]

very nice touch at the end with the label. It’s too good to use now.

[@Zinstalls]

Awesome Vid bro! Can’t stop watching!

[@atomicboomstick2543]

Nice to see a uk channel doing great content! Wish you would have tried this thing out when it was finished though. I guess ill keep my fingers crossed for it happening in a future video.

[@dimacosmin2132]

U need a punchers kit for making gaskets. Very beautiful restoration.

[@geordimaul5380]

Totally amazing work. Looks better than new

[@joshuadavis6856]

I have been watching for an hour now and love them i just subscribed

[@crawl4x410]

All of your videos deserves more subs and likes.

[@CryoticAlchemy]

Idk if youll see this but ive noticed you’re using a metal chisel to scrape off the left over gasket and things alike, from personal experience on restoration things, if you use a plastic scraper and some 240/300 grit sandpaper you wont gouge the metal at all and it makes for a cleaner more precise after product, hope it helps!

[@spidermcgavenport8767]

Subscribed just for the two man effort getting it apart.

[@andymiller5611]

Great video! When I used a brass wire wheel on mine, no matter how careful I was, the brass surface just scratched! What am I doing wrong?!

Looks perfect😀👍 Good Job! Regards Alex from Germany

[@forummejl4468]

What is the blue material for stopping gasoline go out ? About 9:50

[@timehunter9467]

I’ve just seen one of these in a shop in the same state, I’m tempted to buy it and do the same. It’s a no.25 British Monitor, very similar to this.

Where did you get the Bulmers glass ;)

[@jan_kx2984]

I just thought you were making a glass of coffee at 2:55 😂

[@tonyday7233]

I have found that those sets of sets of assorted seals contain red fibre washers that fit all three openings in these lamps. nice job, i must admit that i didn't polish the bits that go inside, might redo some of mine, Thanks.

[@Mikelectric]

are you sure painting the flame tube was a good idea?

[@Bryanbobber]

What are good/bad ideas? All ideas are ideas unto which people bring forth their efforts in a cumulative manner.

[@MrDegsy69]

Mikey i pretty much thought that as well and i suspect the original was hard anodised or bare metal as that paint would quickly burn off in use.

[@ronsbeerreviewstools4361]

Great restoration job, and entertaining. Good job!

[@robertw.1499]

Love watching your work, almost hypnotic and definitely relaxing. Have watched several of your vids, but what I don't understand is why you use the adjustable jaw spanner so much???On this vid, it scratched the black paint on the handle. You are so meticulous in all your work with so much patience, using the big spanner however is like using wrecking ball to hammer in a picture nail... 🤘

[@fccheah]

Great restoration! I like the works. Can't wait to watch your other videos. I have like, subscribed and share your video. Cheers.

[@mikl911]

Great videos love your format. Please throw a blanket over your blasting box to keep the over spray off the glass it gives me anxiety every time you paint LOL sorry a little OCD. Beautiful work!
