I noticed Avril the cat was doing another astounding job as supervisor for the project ! Her persistence in checking your work throughout the restoration shows just how dedicated she really is. She definitely needs a safety helmet, safety glasses, and a supervisors paw stamp of approval when the job is completed - oh, and of course, an oven baked breast of chicken as payment for her services.
For more fluffy moments, check out these timestamps: 03:16 Upper right corner, a little fluff there 10:51 Once more, now behind the hand 15:20 Testing the audible service 15:25 Paw typing 15:41 And again Such a little item, yet it needs quite the fire power to disassemble. Is using those easier to melt metals necessary for the oiler? Or was that the prevalent style of construction at the time is was build? It looked like Avril was scared of the flame (quite noisy indeed) so the video got less cativity, and that's sad. Always nice to see an orange fluff helping around the restoration.
Those hands @ 6:20 belong to someone who has never shied away from hard work a day in his life. Working man's hands. Loved how you used old bicycle spokes to give the new handle rigidity and strength. Great results. Thanks for the upload.
Very nicely done (I really like how you always use whatever you have restored, to prove it works), but Avril does need to have more screen time - she is the star of the show, after all!
I don’t think there is a better museum in the world that would have performed a better restoration. I hope your efforts are collected and appreciated for many years.
Thankyou very much for another fantastic restoration video, I really Respect and appreciate your methodical approach to your work and the attention to detail speaks loudly as to what type of person you are. I look forward to watching every one of your projects. Absolutely top shelf workmanship. 🤝🤠🥇🇦🇺
I give you full credit for your refurbishment of this oil can, it looks great! But I really feel like the manufacturers of this tool just recently found out about the technique of soldering and were like "Just solder it all together!" soooo many solder joints in this build!
Belle restauration. Je me souviens d’avoir utilisé la même technique pour fabriquer un manche pour un entonnoir à huile, en étain et pour souder le cordon le long de chaque bord, dans ma classe de travail du métal lorsque j’étais à l’école! J'aime la façon dont vous ramenez les vieilles choses à la vie! Salutations de Southport UK.
Nicely done, young Lad and old Lad. You're making me wish our old family farm and all it's old gizmos was still in the family. I'd have loved to gone through the main shed, area by area, and restored all the old machinery and tools. All that history now lost, to those that don't care... sad. Six square miles that's now all cultivation, not a tree left standing, not even the windmills. At least I can watch people like you guys bringing old tools back to life. Thank you.
All of your restorations have been exceptional but this one is almost unbelievable. Tremendous amount of work - you are a remarkable craftsman. Thanks for sharing this.
I love watching videos like this were an antique is getting torn down and refurbished from the ground up. Nice to see an older item like this being reused. The icing on the cake is sitting here laughing, thinking about antiques collectors cringing and screaming at the screen as he takes a torch to the can to desolder everything.
Aujourd'hui, j'ai regardé un vidéo des Bonshommes. Y'avait un type qui faisait du beau boulot avec un vieux huilier, et j'ai vu Avril le chat. La journée commence bien!.... :)
Aww I kinda likes the look of the pitting on the top. It looked almost like wood or maybe bone. It appears that the brass parts were plated in nickel or zinc.
I love the work you do, it's high quality and well thought out. But I'm curious, collectors are looking for the patina, are you reducing the collectable's value?
reading thread title, sounds like some easy and boring stuff....hell I was wrong, as nice as your other restorations, and it was a real restoration, thank you for this high quality video.
As always. entertaining and educational. I've been working in new home construction for over 30 years and I find your solutions and techniques very satisfying to watch. How did you come to be doing this and how did you acquire your skills? It looks like simple soldering to me in this video, rather than braising, if so, what type of solder did you use?
An absolutely fantastic restoration, you will find it much easier to form the wired edge on sheet metal if you make a simple swage, it is just a half round hollow on the lower edge of a punch, it uniforms the wired edge turn over by just tapping it down over the wire, your one came out very well, the addition of the sticker was the icing on the cake! This can will now sit on your shelf dribbling oil for the next 20 years, why do they always dribble oil like that ? Many thanks for posting this, Chris B.
It looks like you could rub it and Gene the Mechanic Genie will pop out and fix any and all vehicles. PHENOMENAL MECHANICAL POWER! in a teeny tiny garage.
Would the orange peel appearance in the paint have been reduced if you'd have wet sanded the primer before doing the final paint job with the enameled paint?
@@kirdot2011 All I know is that this video didn't show any wet sanding on the primer, and that I saw what looked like the orange peel texture in the paint.
