1920's Brass Spray Pump Restoration 

Wow, I am 80 years old and that's the first time I have seen one of those. Great restoration indeed and it works. Ken

I'm so happy that channels like these have appeared, focused on restoration. This is preservation of the old, and it's very important. In several cases in my path from hobby to a marginal side job in machining and similar, many times i have drawn inspiration or have been helped by old books, old items, and old in general. There's a lot of things we've "forgotten" or laid to the side, and in some cases, for no good reason. So kudos to you, the Hand Tool Rescue channel, and any other channels that follow the vein. With RU-vid's issues, this kind of video content might, hopefully, attract good numbers.

As someone from Ohio, I must say it’s nice to see a tool that was not only made in Ohio but also a part of my life. My grandfather still uses one to water his vegetables garden. Thank you for the memories and amazing job. You have shown me a way to restore his!!

Splendid job restoring the brass sprayer. It looks much better and it works like a charm too. Excellent work.

My Dad worked at Deming's for 38 years. They shut down the Salem plant in the early 2000's. Damn shame. By the time he retired they one of the foremost pump manufacturers in the world. Great to see this piece of history restored. Thank you, Will.

Love this channel. . . No talking, no music, just a beautiful restoration time lapse

Really liked the perseverance on the brass bulb, another great video.

Wow... What a thing of beauty! Thanks for restoring it to its former glory!!!

The workbench is really coming along! I love the well used look! Well done bringing that sprayer back to life!

Great job they make brasso paste you can use on your polishing wheel a lot easier then by hand keep the videos coming keep the old stuff alive

Labour of love, for these vintage machines. Thats a well made quality product and you have done a good restoration.

Amazing work and very relaxing video! Thank you

Fantastic! I grew up in Salem, Ohio acrss the street from the Deming family. The historical society has a display of Deming's pumps. I do not recall the small pump like because they were known for the large gov. Contract pumps.You have restored it to museum quality. This Christmas when I am back in Salem I will need to visit that display again

Love the "Success" bulb! You should fill that pail with alcohol. Also, I suggest raising that drill press up or you are going to destroy your neck and back.

Great job! I collect antique farm and garden tools and have a couple sprayers like this. You have inspired me to restore them . Thanks!!

Crazy good. Like the setup clean but functional.

Will, you never cease to amaze me how you can bring the dead back to life. Although I would never have the patience to do what you do, I have the patience to watch your videos from beginning to end. Another GREAT video and rebuild!!! Keep up the great videos my friend. GOD BLESS!!!

Your restoration videos are awesome!

Finally using 3-in-1! :) :) :) great vid mate.

I've seen almost all of your restoration videos, and it always surprises me just how many parts a given subject consists of.

I enjoyed this video more than your usual videos for some reason. Beautiful work!

You, man, are creative in your work, and I admire your calmness with your fine work

They were about when I was growing up in 60's Queensland. WE called them stirrup pumps. My recollection was they were mainly used for watering back then. Greta video, thanks.

when you started to paint the letters you've nailed me. awesome job man!!! bravo!

grouse work mate she looks lovely after being cleaned up and of course restored to new condition and well even the pot plants would love this one for sure etc.

That looks fantastic. Here's a handy tip i learned painting amplifiers in the Navy. "foamies" or the little foam ear plugs are fantastic for masking small holes before paint. Much easier to get out too!

Beautiful work Will !

Outstanding! amazing job!

The level of fine detail is damn impressive. Nicely done.

Gorgeous!! Thank you for sharing.

That thing looks very cool!

Impressive that the old hose was salvageable, pity the clamps weren't, but it's a functional beauty now!

Beautiful restoration 😊

Awesome restoration!!

Amazing work done. More interesting. Many many thanks.

Great attention to detail.

Great work, and you have a beautiful garden!

Very nicely done! You need to get on Patreon by the way. As with HTR, happy to throw in a bit to see these beautiful tools restored.

Love the colour of brass.

Wow, it's in great shape already. Awesome work. I think the nozzle originally had a stepped plug that it screws onto that inserts into the hose. That's what those threads are for.

Will, nice job mate saving a well built tool. Something most companies today lack, If not made in the US or England chances are it stays on the shelf. That's not to say one doesn't have a lot of stuff that if it breaks or strips out... all is not lost. That's a keeper for sure....

Holy Crap!! Born and Raised!! My home town!!

Great video! To cut hose off hose fittings I fasten the hose just under half way in a vise, cut the top of the hose lengthwise then refasten the vice all the way so that the fitting will pop out of the vice by breaking through the weakened cut area. For high pressure fittings I'll use a hacksaw to make a diagonal cut toward the nut through the collar but the extraction is the same.

Impressionante o trabalho, atenção e cuidados para uma restauração com esta qualidade. Parabéns! :) Impressive work, attention and care for a restoration with this quality. Congratulations! :)

Success in watering those flowers!

That was made in a town near me. So cool to see new life brought back to it. Good eye on a tool to save!!!

Awesome stuff dude! I love the gold lettering I thought that was a nice touch.

A new way to drink beer!!! All done and would look great in a man cave /den /crib... whatever you wanna call it, top job mate! awesome videos, just found your channel, subbed without even watching any videos... Love the content, good to see others who appreciate old things. Cant spend enough time on this sort of thing myself :)

9:13 Tbh I love that atmosphere: You look out of a rectangular - horizontal window, you see a small hill all covered in grass, further away on the hill there is a highway leading to some european sea city which is on the right, you can barely hear the still, plain sound of the highway, it's sunny, quiet, the sky is clear, nobody wants you to do anything, you have a lot of time, occasionally a cat walks in, there are no annoying sounds of family or neighbors, just you, the garage and a squeaking noise in the ears you got from working with a loud machine... This whole video is well made, without unnecessary music or voice commentary, just original audio. That's what I like Also, ignore what I said earlier, I'm just saving this when I come back later

awesome stuff! you need to get your hands on 3m`s radial bristle Discs/brushes, i think it will up your game a lot!

THANK YOU...for sharing. Very nice.

Nice work mate. I restore a lot of brass lamps and I’ll give you a tip. Paint any brass you want to restore with tomato ketchup ( not tomato sauce) , let it sit for 20-30 minutes and you will be amazed at result. Then just rinse off with water. Finish of with brasso. Cheers

Wow very nice restore really enjoyed watching it

Great work! If you put the hose in warm/hot water, it will expand and become easier to remove or apply.

I like watching your videos especially with 60's hits playing in another tab, somehow therapeutic .

Did you replace the string seal in the packing gland at the top?

!! A satisfação de mais um trabalho bem feito.

amazing art piece!!

Nicely done!

3:43 Not going to lie, that made me chuckle

(18:53) “oh yeah”

I love your attention to detail, and the love you put into the restoration, great, keep it up. thumbs up Greetings from Germany

Great video!

Thought it was a bilge pump for a boat at first. They REALLY don't make things like they used to. Restored, it will last another hundred years now! But why not reuse the original hose clamps for historical accuracy?

good job as always

Wow beautiful work!!

Лепота. Кругом природа, флора-фауна. Червячки всякие чирикают... Мечтаю о такой жизни...

I wanted to cry when you polished the success bulb, looked like it had a lovely patina. I get why you did it though. Well done mate!

¡Qué bonito trabajo!

just restored a REGA pump myself, while the overall construction is the same, I notice some distinct differences 2:56 the outlet on the body of mine is female and the handle is doesn't have that skeletal design and the handle also lacks a logo Would be interested if there was some way of determining the age or more model information to compare designs

parts on string make jingling sound.... cat shows up promptly to investigate lol.

The best part is he’s using just basic tools that were most likely used in that Decade to build it. I’m sure he rebuilt that drill press and table grinder.

С удовольствием смотрю ваши видео вы лучший

I was surprised to see you didn’t use the original clamps, especially after saving that original old hose.

You're the man. Impressive.

Found one of those success bulbs in a field, nothing else with it. Always wondered what it was for.

Beautiful job.

Realy nice work man, must be hard to find a project like this, it can’t be many of these around. Incredible that the plastic hose was stil in one piece, it can’t have seen much sunlight. :)

Stunning. More of this please. New sub.

Great Job, Excellent, Man..

Polishing the brass must've taken forever. Other restorers have side grinder attachments for buffing, I wonder if you've gotten one for yourself since this video?

Was using a garden hose to fill up the bucket intentionally ironic?

Top Work dude ... love the videos

Liked the video and subscribed. Very informative!! i need to make one for my leather work.

That’s pretty crazy I actually live in Salem Ohio very nice restoration.

Good job !

@ 18:53 Such things sometimes happen to me, if I enjoy the build process to.^^ You realy love what you do, dont ever stop.

Turned out great! For removing rust, try citric acid. It's super cheap and can be bought from brewing/ wine making supply places in powdered form. It will leave a much brighter, clean surface than evaporust.

i kinda cracked up laughing at the oops, then the chuck falls down.. its like oops what? ROFL... other then that love the videos keep them coming

Only a very speciall sort of people can watch other people grind and brush and cleand, dissassembly and assembly ancient machinery, all that for hours and enjoy it soo deeply.

well done man !

Real nice job on this!

You restored the hose?.......you fucking restored the hose you are a fucking hero sir I salute you.

please do more,i love your videos

Is it just a preference for you to switch between the grinder and drill press with the scrub on it when polishing the metal? Also is it common to have the scrub on the drill press or is it because it does spin as fast?

Lol it's funny you fill it with the garden hose :-p

Brass *is* gold.

Well done....very nice! ....13

Fascinating video. Only 1 minor annoyance: You showed a can of something you used to help clean the hose, but it was so brief I couldn't make out what it was, even when I paused the video... several times. Still a good video.

I love watching you tear down and rebuild this stuff!!! Don’t know why! Gotta quick question: do you clearcoat the handle and the transfer bulb that is mostly brass, or can you even do that because it is brass? Just a thought. Good work as always!!!!
