Perfect job on the metal parts! Very impressive. The original handle was so beautiful, though, I shed a tear for it. Bombay Mahogany stain would have been a beautiful touch for the replacement handle, maybe even a little decorative knurling?
Oh man i totally agree. But the old handle had some bad marks and the metal parts were stuck/glued in it. I didnt have other options :( But in the next projects i will try to take the same wood for recreating such parts, to keep it as original as possible! Hope you enjoyed anyways! :-)
@@misterpatina OK, you couldn't keep the original, but the new handle should have been a similar shape and darker/purple color in keeping with they style of when it was originally made. You put a 21st century handle on a 20th century tool.
Oh Mister Patina what a great restoration. I am incredibly touched that my thank you gift found such a nice place in your work and in your video. It's great to see how your channel is evolving at incredible speed. Knowing what a selfless, down-to-earth and detail-loving person is behind the channel makes me deeply happy. I am glad our paths have crossed in these challenging times
I got the first comment! This is great loved the restoration (Edit) I was in a rush to write this comment to maintain my 1st position so I would like to say you are amazing at what you do and that you deserve more subscribers
Brilliant job, man! I wasn't aware that they even made ratcheting screwdrivers that long ago. I really love the new wood handle you made - That lathe is a great addition to your shop. Keep it up :)
Thanks man! I didnt know that either. When i sandblasted it, the "DRGM" sign showed up. Its the "German Reich Patent". That means it was built between 1891 and 1945. The Lathe rocks! Big up!
As always, enjoyed your renovations. Here, however, I don’t think that wood glue would bond wood to metal with any great strength - wood to wood, yes, but it isn’t designed for any metal bonding. Epoxy resin should be used for a tool like this which will have a heavy turning force applied when in use. Also, a nice touch would have been to retain the original colour of the handle.
Hold the phone here!!! Ya blew the 100 year old handle off with a chisel!! WTF for. At least take a crack at the removal, that would be the idea here. That chiseling made no assist in the handle removal... dammmm. A little juice, a little heat and a little effort...bingo, ya 100 year old handle is ready for a fresh finish. Ya better than this my friend.
Большое спасибо :-) Старая ручка имела несколько дефектов, но основной причиной поломки было то, что она была очень прочно приклеена к металлу. Я не смог бы его разобрать, не разрушив. Надеюсь, вам все равно понравилось видео :-)
The ratchet plate is just going to malfunction again should have replaced or hardened and tempered, is definitely going to fail again! And when you remade the handle there was no inner core of wood which has caused another break point that wasn't there before
Спасибо, очень интересно. А чего же не протестировали восстановленный инструмент? Было бы любопытно глянуть каков он в деле. Оригинальная рукоятка смотрится лучше новой.
I seeming have the exact same screwdriver just with a shorter neck. I was unable to find any name or branding do you know what company made them. Ps do you plan to re-purpose the wooden handle?
Nice! I didnt see any brand, but while sandblasting the "DRGM" sign showed up, which means "German Reichs Patent". So it has to be a german production. The company "Kunze" made ratcheting drills aswell, maybe its one of their products. I think i wont reuse the old handle...
Otro gran ejemplo de su habilidad para la restauracion, excelente resultado de este proyecto la restauración de destornillador de trinquete roto de 1920, mis respetos y saludos desde Venezuela.
По моему мнению такая ручка отвалится при малейшей нагрузке. Слишком маленькая площадь контакта. Старая ручка была куда надежнее. И зачем заливать клеем дно углубления там где он ничего не приклеит? Вообщем больше вопросов..
Man i am impressed not only by your restoration but the fact that you have this good production quality at such a low subscriber base good luck you will cross 1m soon
Wanna know what pisses me off about your videos? Not a damn thing! Keep up the amazing work and thank you for the beautiful Art of your restorations...
Read the first sentence and I was like a boxer in the ring „ok bro, come on!!“ And then I had to laugh 😄 Thank you so much Eric, I really appreciate! ❤️
I used to have this (or one so similar it could be it’s twin) screwdriver it belonged to my grandad, sadly I don’t know where it’s gotten to (I’m just hoping it wasn’t one of the items workmen have walked off with over the years) the only difference is the handle on mine wasn’t treated too well over the years.
Неплохо, неплохо. Непонятно только зачем было воронить (защищать от коррозии) металл в масле а затем полировать и никелировать? Воронение, пассивирование, никелирование и есть антикоррозионная защита металла. Тут либо, либо.
Большое спасибо! Я сделал это, чтобы сначала защитить корпус от коррозии изнутри. Я нагрел наконечник и окунул его в масло, чтобы укрепить материал, затем покрыл его никелем, чтобы защитить от коррозии и хорошо рассмотреть :-) Надеюсь, мне удалось внести ясность. Спасибо за просмотр!
why on earth did you oil quench and then sand? In doing so, you removed your hardening and rust proofing. Next time you do something like this, you should sand and then oil quench.
Примерно в 1920 году. При разборке я обнаружил табличку «DRGM», что означает «Полезная модель Рейха Германии». Этот знак присуждается с 1891 по 1945 год. Надеюсь, вы все поняли и ролик вам понравился :-)
5:10 Maybe you can give a hint, how to find the right temperature for bluring? I've tried it with a steel bold. Just made it nice hot and put in into oil (simple 10W-40). After a few minutes i took it out and the black coat was peeling off like old color :/
Sure: the part should leave the flame directly to the oil by around 350-400 degree Celsius. But it’s not too bad if it’s hotter, give it a light cherry and you’re good to go. Why it doesn’t work is because you didn’t use linseed oil. This oil „soots/smokes“ itself on the bare metal and leaves a black surface. Give it a try 🙂✌️
