Vintage Rusty Lunch Box & Thermos Restoration

[@OrenArieli]

Nice! Who doesn't love a good tetanus toast for lunch 😃

[@archiesilkworth6607]

I think you missed this time. Colors didn't match any of the original ones. The vacuum bottle was an Aladin brand (likely was a dark green plaid) and had a Thermos cork. Aladin used a different system with a flip lever. If I seem to know about these it's because my father carried one when I was a child in the 1950's.

This is my new favorite video of yours, thank you. Great job on the restoration! And I'll never look at my kitchen utensils with quite the same amount of respect. 😄 #workshoplunch

[@DrRestoration]

Thanks Tim!

[@charlesroman9163]

The cup really made this restoration for me. I loved it!

[@WorkshopDC]

Great job Bro, love the new wood cup. Now I'll use my tools to make a sandwich 😄

[@DrRestoration]

Thanks bro! Yes slowly we will become cooking channels 😂

[@thelivinglegend2611]

I loved the video but the yellow color. That kills it for me.

[@LadyLeigh]

I loved the innovation of the wooden cup! It looks gorgeous. Curious, would it take hot tea or coffee? Anyway gorgeous restoration!

[@noahreese2455]

I have one complaint, why yellow??? Man, why not blue or green? You could have done blue and paint the lines to be white and have it like a car man. At least you saved every piece of history to the lunch box, but I still don't like the yellow.

[@DrRestoration]

It’s a yellow Ferrari 😂

[@noahreese2455]

@@DrRestoration That sounds about right lol, but good work keeping everything original. God bless you man.

[@Dawnnbooks]

The cover for the flask is metal not wood. Also the flask is supposed to fit it the cover of the lunchbox that's why the cover is that shape and that's why the bracket is there. The bracket keeps the flask in the cover.

[@wadewells808]

Nice restoration. Loved the making of that infamous BLT sandwich!

[@DrRestoration]

I had a lot of fun! Thanks

[@maggs131]

I had a lunchbox just like that when I was in grade school except mine wasn't metal, it was plastic and it was orange, not yellow. Shape was different too 🤔 now that I think about it....Winona Ryder is a terrible actress 🤭

[@williamkendall7412]

The lunch box was nice. The sandwich? Ehh. Lol

[@josephgriffith3593]

Doesn’t a Dole banana sticker belong on that thing somewhere ?????? By the way great restoration work

[@bartsegers7091]

Held my breath everytime I saw you "juggling" with the glass insert from the flask 😱 if that breaks you're screwed 😁 You could have done a bit more effort on the cup (make the outer diameter exact as the rest of the flask and threaded it) but hey, who am I to comment on that 😄 overall a good job !

[@DrRestoration]

Haha thanks!

Beautiful job man. I'm subscribed!

Great video Dr. R👍👍👍

Dud! If you're that hard up for kitchen utensils, I'll go visit a thrift store and send you some!

Superb video skills on top of very talented tools and maching techniques- brilliant!

[@DrRestoration]

Thank you

[@TheStampede000]

But I didn't say yellow I said blue.

[@samuelkofsky]

I am really getting hungry watching you use your tools to make a sandwich and quite amused as well

[@DrRestoration]

[@MattBannan]

I WOULD HAVE CHOSEN BLUE, GREY,OR GREEN...BUT THAT'S ME!!!

[@DrRestoration]

Grandmas vote over any 💛

[@MrErnieNelson]

Love your work and your quirky sense of humour. Very informative and entertaining. Cheers mate.

[@MatthewSmith-to1hz]

If my granddad was still alive, he would definitely buy this from you. He worked at the steel mill for 40+ years, and during that time, he carried the exact same lunch box ( except his was grey). After he retired, he used it as a toolbox. Sadly, it got lost in a tornado.

[@DrRestoration]

Sad it was lost! 💙

[@MatthewSmith-to1hz]

@@DrRestoration yeah. I would have loved to have it

[@michaelcsiti3476]

looked up the patent # on this. its a circa 1912 patent by Hamilton metal products but looks to be a 1940's era miner's lunch box.

[@DrRestoration]

That’s awesome, thanks for the information!

[@michaelcsiti3476]

@@DrRestoration your very welcome! :D

[@happykal11]

The sandwich and the end 🤣 ffs🤣 haaaaahahahaaaa that’s awesome

[@DrRestoration]

Glad you enjoyed it 😂

[@michaelevans2989]

Have to admit that is a cool idea with the wire wheel and especially the cup! Great restore!Just an FYI if you scour Facebook market place you can get a good vintage wood lathe pretty cheap. I got an old Craftsman tube lathe for 100 bucks with chisels, and a Craftsman Dunlap 101 Table top lathe for 75 bucks. Both had motors but I went and scoured for some free/cheap treadmills and used the motors in them.

[@DrRestoration]

I’ve had my eye out for a nice lathe, I have one available to me but it’s in another state.

[@michaelevans2989]

@@DrRestoration might be worth the drive. I took a 3 hr drive to pick up a hardinge metal lathe for 250. Fully restored its worth about 1,300. I'm in the process of it now.

[@ginenelafontaine8343]

Watching the sandwich being made was very entertaining!

[@patstrailertopics5975]

Back in the day you could buy replacement glass flasks for popular thermos sizes. They came with replacement gaskets for top and bottom so there was a bit of shock absorber action and to keep liquids in the flask and out of the metal cover.

Ok, I’m gonna say it. The U shaped metal holding the handle have been massively weaker buy bending them out then back. I would’ve thought the best bet would to have kept the handle and all metal work together.

you have left dents and pits. You have not used primer to cover the defects. What a mess..

[@Maniacfusion69]

I’d have thought orange but the yellow isn’t to bad

[@jw11432]

Dents and dings remain, lid doesn't shut square, metal polishing was substandard....I'm sorry, but this was not done well. Guess I got spoiled watching 'my mechanics' channel.

Hopefully I will get better with practice 🙂
