A very nice job, and I wish I had ONE TENTH of your patience and ability. I was dissappointed you didn't show us a key and demonstrate it being unlocked.
Thanks for watching! I thought maybe the video would've been too long, that's why I didn't make the key. Maybe next time though, I have some other padlocks too :)
In my opinion, the ideal solution would be to put a rusty object in hydrochloric acid. He will etch the rust. And restoring old metal objects is an art. Regards ☺
@@soul_iron_restoration I'm just giving you a hint. The acid perfectly etches the rust, and the metal may not be in its natural color, from the so-called patina. However, it is etched with rust. I greet and wish you further success in bringing old items back to life.
I might try HCl next time. I was actually considering using some acid with this lock but in the end decided to go with the electrolysis. Thanks for the advice!
Tin is a good idea, I have thought of it. The only problem is that tin oxidizes and the color becomes different from the iron. I would have had to paint the lock.
Es wäre eine super Sache, wenn du eine technische Zeichnung von den Einzelteilen im zerlegten Zustand machen könntest. So, das die funktionsmaße auch Sinn ergeben. Ich hätte großes Interesse daran dieses Schloss neu anzufertigen, was mit entsprechenden Zeichnungen nicht allzu kompliziert wäre. Was hältst du von der Idee?! Grüße aus Berlin, Johannes ✌️😉
@@soul_iron_restoration Toll! Eine 3D Darstellung wäre natürlich die "Kirsche auf dem Sahnetörtchen"! Grundsätzlich müsste eine Zeichnung aber nich einmal Maßstabsgetreu sein. Hauptsache die Maße sind vollständig und funktionell. Vielen Dank ✌️
Thank you very much! Neither have I. I suspect it's quite old and is probably hand made by some smith. I love my weddimg band too but it was actually bought from Etsy :)
If you had brazed with, for example, brass, the lock would have become stronger. Now just hold a burning cigarette lighter under it and it will fall apart.
Yes, I agree. My goal was mainly to make it look good, suitable for exposition. As it would have looked back when it was used. Brazing is surely the best method but also quite difficult in this case.
Better not to use stainless steel or anything containing nickel in the electrolysis tank. Apparently it creates an extremely carcinogenic compound during the process.
@@soul_iron_restoration Iron cathode. The anode (negative electrical connection) is attached to whatever you are removing the rust from. The cathode (positive electrical connection) is attached to your sacrificial conductor (most likely iron, perhaps some rebar or similar). The current travels from negative to positive.
Замок который чтобы открыть просто выбили шплинт...... Ключ делать бесполезно вставленный вдоль душки клин и жести его откроет. Понятно что задача не создать супер замок, а просто реставрация старой вещи. Но гидролиз тут явно был лишним. Сразу нагрев и все.
А где ключи к замку?! 😢 Их разве не надо было изготовить? 😮Замок без ключей это просто кусок бесполезного железа😂. Даже если все восстановить и покрасить😊. Надо делать все до конца, бро - восстановил замок, сделай к нему и ключи, чтобы можно было пользоваться😊.Закрывать тот же сундук, а не просто повесить для красоты замок😂
Thanks for pointing that out, I will try to make it better in the future. In case of this video there was too many steps that I wanted to show, that's why most clips are sped up.
