Abandoned 75 Year Old Rusty Train Lock…Extreme Restoration! 

I could watch the restoration of old locks all day...and sometimes do! Keep em coming!

Great job. Thanks for sharing.

I love to watch the trains over at Virtual Railfan, and old SOO railcars still show up from time to time

Need to paint the new rivet set up . The silver of the rivets and washers stick out like a sore thumb. Painting them would make them look more like part of the design.

So satisfying.

Very nice refurbishing lock project. Looks and works like new now... Thumbs Up!

Wow!...Excellent restoration. Thanks for the video!!

You always make those unusual keys look so easy. 👍

Great job! A new Grinder at Christmas time. Onto a fresh new year of restorations! Happy New Year and keep on making things shine! ✨🔓🗝️

My son " The sandblaster AND magic ! ... Merry Christmas to me !" Great work and thanks.

Beautiful restoration mister well done

*_Another perfect restoration. Thank you for sharing it. Keep up the fantastic work._*

Another great restoration. Always enjoy your "magic" and humor. Liked finish on lock at the end. I have seen restored locks with steely finishes, this in not accurate . Most heavy duty locks had finishes like this or were painted a flat black or gray. Great detail.

That’s awesome thank you for showing us the steps in rebuilding it 🔐

Next episode: restoring your old grinder. 👍

Fabulous restoration

Beautiful, and so "shiny" when you finished.I love that shine! And, a couple of times there, I thought you were going to wind up with *rust soup*, but you managed to get rid of that! Truly, it's a super restoration and congratulations on your talent and knowledge how to do It.

Interesting, That lock said SOO LINE, and old defunct railroad line, it actually used to go through the little town I grew up in in central North Dakota.

R.I.P. Old Grinder... It Has Seen Better Days...

NICE...VERY NICE!!!

L&R: *opens lock case to reveal the mess inside* My brain: "You can have it all, my empire of dirt..."

Well done sir

Could we have a moment of silence in honor of ye olde grinder.😔☺️😅 I’m not an expert in lock fashion 😅 but I really like the contrast of the different color rivets against the color of the lock, it jazzes up the look.👍🥰 Another job well done !❤️

Great work

I don't like the new rivets at all but to each his own. The rest of it looked great.

Next video ->>> Restore the old bench grinder!

Nice job.😊

Great job

Класс 👍👍👍

....LOOKIN' GOOD, NICE WORK, HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS..

Was the arm / shackle bronze, very nice

Lindissimo

It’s perfect

I remember seeing 'Soo Line' on the tracks in the early to mid 1980s in Western New York (Genesee County)

Excellent!

I think those rivets were interesting. Can you tell me their name? Thank you. By the way, my son and I appreciate your skill.

C O O L !!

Cool job, mate - congrats! I didn't know that "to give up the ghost" is a fixed term in English. In German we use the same wirds for the sam expression! Hope you had a nice Christmas time! Greetings fron Germany from the silver fox, David 😉🦊

Excelente trabalho e tenha um feliz Natal 👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Nice.😎😎😎👍👍👍

You should restore your old grinder next 😂😂

I admire Your skills and talent. It oozes out like a panache. BTW, Merry X-MAS to You.

That's an old buffer you had! G.E.motor?

0:36...Скорей всего это замок на ворота или для велосипеда, лодки...))

Grinder restoration please

SOO line also known as Sioux Saint Marie Railway.

Not a fan of the new rivet but its a detail and everything else is amazing

it's a switch lock, as in the switches they used to change the path of a train from one track to another

Love from Pakistan 🙂

This has nothing to do this but is an amusing story. My new neighbors had a big Christmas the other night. Loud, screaming, drunk people, loud music, loud talking, blocking my driveway. One guy passed out in his car that was blocking my driveway. Went on until 3:30 a.m. Cops could hear them down the road and came. The next day, I'm in my detached garage/workshop grinding a knife blade. Neighbor sticks his head up and asks me if I would mind keeping it down. So I don't. He screams at me to keep it down or he'll call the cops. So I outline that he can't, but also he had his party and the issues with that and I let it go. So he calls the cops and tells them I threatened him with the knife I was working on. Cops show up, hands on guns. Asking me questions. Rudely. Point out I never threatened him amd show them the video footage from my security camera. The cops threatened to arrest him! Come out the next day, my power is out to the shop. He jumped the fence and cut the power cable!!!. He already knew I had security cameras because the cops told him I did. So he could be seen hopping the fence, wearing his ridiculous Gucci-flage came hoodie. You don't see his face, but the hoodie is distinctive and he's jumping the fence from his backyard. Cops come. Interrogate him. Find the hoodie. Ask me if I want to have him arrested. So I said if he had an electrician come repair the line, I wouldn't. He said he wasn't doing that. My shop makes 'weapons' and that threatens him and make him feel unsafe. Yes he is one of those with the blue and green hair and 10 facial piercings. Cops explain he will have to pay for it anyways. He still refused...until they pulled out the handcuffs and he started crying and begging, then threatening me and the cops with his friends and the LGBTQ+@2S%&=%÷

You should clean your table in between

The key look like a little too much thin to not break off if someone use too much strenght to open the lock

Lovely work… but the washers look awful

I suppose that as slotted screwdrivers are becoming obsolete then the way you use them is "acceptable" but to an old fogey like me it still does not seem right. Can I ask why you did not paint over the pins and washers on the front of the finished restoration? Why use washers in the first place? Just curious and not a criticism in any way. I'd love to get my hands on an old lock like this to have a go myself.

Are you going to put it on your drinks cabinet? 😉

like i've seen it before. 🤔🤔

Das Sprichwort "Den geist aufgeben" heisst soviel wie "quit the service"und nicht "give up the ghost" :D
