In this video I restored an old Button machine! I found it on a flea market and just couldnt resist. The condition of the button machine wasnt that bad, but it didnt work anymore, since it was totally stuck. So I disassembled this old button or badge machine and restored every part. I started with getting rid of the old coating, by sandblasting and using paint stripper. After some filing of the aluminum body, it was time for some powder coating.
After that we had some steel and Aluminum rings left. I restored the steel rings and protected the metal with some nickel plating. The Aluminum rings were just cleaned on the lathe machine, and after that i put them in a special Aluminum Cold Bluing Bath, to make them look nice black and stop them from oxidation.
Some other Aluminum parts were Quick blued with an quick aluminum bluing agent. After reassembling everything, the machine works perfectly fine and I made some buttons! :-)
