I'm not into too much theatrics in restoration videos. Thank goodness you don't have some annoying music in your videos.

Its truly amazing how you start with an item covered in 50/50 iron oxide(rust) an copper sulfate (verdigris) and end up with a shiny brass lamp

I am not a restorer but love watching these videos.

@TheRestorer thanks for the lesson and no annoying music!

Desde Perú k lindo trabajo haces admirable

Restoration, editing, filming is a 10!

Another brilliant restoration just perfect 10/10 🥰

RU-vid is the only place I ever saw brass rust. The washers would be leather.

10 because you kept the obviously uneven part near the fire outlet as well as the scratches in the lids. The battle scars of the lamp during that time are well presented and appreciated. Kudos!

Fabulous! ❤❤❤. 10!

Jók a videóid. Üdv Magyarországról 🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺

Godd job bosss👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🇲🇨😁

Well done My Friend,from Bayamo, Cuba

Great work 👏! Keeping it as original and like new as possible while saving its "used" appearance. 10...

I give you a 10 as you and other great restorers do such great work, especially to very old and historical things. THANK YOU.

You must get all these items from the same place... all the rusting and oxidation looks the same.... 🤔

Very nice.

Благодарю! Конечно, 10. Альбина из Уфы.

Amigo, está restaurando La historia antigua.🥳💫💯

Just one question. How do you get Rust or iron oxide on something made from brass, as one cannot transfer to the other

Belissimo trabalho 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏♥️

Amazing.

Wow very good ✌️😃🔥🔥🔥

Indudablemente la restauración es un arte que respeta y enaltece los artefactos que nuestros mayores usaron en sus épocas pasadas cada artículo restaurado es un recuerdo de cariño para ellos y agradezco de corazón a quien ejerce esta tarea desde argentina un abrazo a cada maestro en esta profesión

ΜΠΡΑΒΟ.ΕΞΑΙΡΕΤΙΚΗ ΔΟΥΛΕΙΑ.

Amazing Restoration 👍🏻👍

I give you 8 because it's a nice restoration not too complicated.

Rate you from one to a 10? how about 106. Love love love it. Absolutely amazing. To bring some thing back to its original beauty is wonderful.

Wow, 10

Your attention to detail is amazing😮

I have a few reservations - it's a nice thing to chemically remove the oxide layer from the brass sheet and polish it to a high shine, but in the case of this lamp, I'd opt not only for surface cleaning, but also for opening it by unsoldering the bottom. This would allow me to unsolder the burner tube as well, clean the vessel and burner of unsightly solder deposits, smooth the warped top of the stock vessel, and re-solder the burner tube properly so that it is guaranteed to seal. Someone must have dropped the lamp in the past, or something heavy must have fallen on it - and it was corrected in a rather humbuggish way by simply bending the burner tube to an approximately vertical position and re-soldering it in an unsightly way. This is evidenced by the significant deformation of the top of the vessel just below the burner and the thick and irregularly applied layer of solder between the burner and the vessel. This may have occurred just after its manufacture in the aforementioned WW I, but it would be worthwhile to return it to its truly original form - if it is to be restored, it should be to the condition of a new piece, not with the preservation of significant appearance defects. And pouring lighter fluid into a lamp is a pretty dangerous thing to do if kerosene was originally intended as the fuel - it needs to be distinguished. The original rubber gasket around the pour hole might not survive the petrol mixture without damage, although it would withstand kerosene without significant change. But then again, it is true that lamps in the form of a similar torch made from a modified fired brass cartridge of around 50mm calibre fitted with a fabric wick and with petrol as fuel were used as a source of light and especially heat even in the trenches during WWII - they were perfectly common on both sides of the Eastern Front and with partisan units in Europe, as ordinary petrol was easier to obtain from vehicle supplies than finding kerosene usable only for lighting.

10+!

Beautiful work a 10 for sure.

Lovely restotation!.

Great work 👏! Keeping it as original and like new😄

Lindo , Parabéns!

It’s perfect

Excellent work...10

very good Congratulations ❤❤❤

Why was there rust on a brass item? Seems a little fishy...

Wd40 kullanman çok iyi oldu. Güzel video. Tebrikler 👍🏻

Excellent 👍🏾

Świetnie jest to odrestłrowane ta cała lampa naftowa pozdrawiam twórcę tego filmiku 👍👍👍👍

A 10 out of 10 . Beautlfull

Nice 👍 work love the lighter

Excellent !!!

Very nice work I like it

8/10. Nice job and I’m pleased that you kept the history - scratches and small dents. However I question the highly polished finish, I preferred the brushed brass finish just prior to polishing which felt more authentic.

10 out of 10. Congrats!

Very cool.👍

With all that polishing, I was expecting a genie to come out of it 😀

Not bad ,I can't give you more than 9, you missed few details...anyway good job !!!👍👍👌👌

This was a fabulous restoration. I'd rate it 10 ☺️ Just thought replacing those rubber rings could have been better. Subscribed & liked ❤️

Maravilha👏❤

Excellent filming and editing! Wow🎉

Great restoration bro ; Well done. I wish you more success 👌❤

I would rate your restoration as a 10 and, You Tube a ZERO for sticking 10 pop up ads in an 18 minute video!

Solid 8/10. And you earned yourself a new subscriber 🙂

Great work here as always! I was thinking that this might have been a medic's lamp as gauze was being used as the wick. Regardless, super cool!

looks like more than a few hundred years old!

I am wondering why the bottom of the lantern wasn’t rusted at all ??? And the rubber washer was in perfect shape that is strange after 70 years doesn’t rubber break down? Just asking…

Watching your videos is so satisfying and you do a fantastic job 😊

Why was a brass container rusty? Help me out here.

A good 10 for you!

the exact same lamp was found at a flea market in excellent condition. I thought it was from World War 1. So it was used in the trenches. At first I thought it was homemade. but when I saw your video, I realized that she was not the only one. an interesting thing, it runs on gasoline and kerosene, and on alcohol

How come all of these videos start with something solid brass that looks "Rusty" when brass can not rust?

I really like that 1942 lighter

mission passed respect plus🎉😍

Bombastische Arbeit 10,10,10. Ich würde auch gerne wissen wer der Hersteller ist? Bernd Frankenland

I enjoyed watching this restoration video. I like the lamp, and is worth a solid 9.5. Question for you. Does this model of korosene lamp have any glass topper etc? I would definately like seeing this lamp with a top piece, but overall it came out fantastic.

عمل ممتاز👍👍👍👍👍👍🌹

10/10

My God...that was a slow burner (pun intended)...i thought there was going to be a part 2 😂

👍👍 10 👍👍

9,8 😊

Imagine how much time you'd save with a real buffer. Restore an older grinder and there you are.

10!

Lars// !!!! 10/10

defiantly a 10

Al bronce despues de pulido se le da una mano de laca o barniz para que no se oxide

Bom trabalho 👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷

You rubbed it so much, and still no Ginie. 😒 Beautiful Job! Thank you for restoring hystory.

Was there any particular procedure for cleaning the inside of the fuel tank as part of the restoration?

Made from Brass?

Omg i love that lighter. Where did you get it?

10. I wondered about the rubber gaskets. One seemed in bad shape (top of lantern). Is it bad form to replace anything? Did every soldier get one or just upper ranks? Being lazy since I can google 😊 18:45 From SF

10❤ 🎉

So weird there was red rust on a copper/brass lamp??????

a pasiencia e o segredo nta 10 ass brasil

Why don't you sandblast? Just after washing it with soapy water or rinse with oil?

Please restore a old sewing machine without any paint please

I rate you at 6. You didn't even try to remove scratches you just polished them. Could be so much better.
