Kitchen Scale Weights Restoration 

Not kitchen weights but industrial laboratory weights, probably a dyestuff lab by the initial appearance. The three holes are for missing small weights and the two slots are for sub-gram weights made of platinum rectangles (the wide shallow slot which would have had a clear plastic cover) and for sprung tweezers to handle the small weights (the narrow slot).

Beech - I’m sure that’s what it has been constructed with. Beautiful colour & durable.

Nice have you checked the weights now they are abraded and polished. I remember some weights my mum had that had a hole in the bottom that had lead in it with a stamp mark. The lead was for adjustment due to wear. If they were weighing light lead could be added and melted in to make the weight up.

Without checking and calibrating weights? And the rest is all beautiful.

Did you check the weights for accuracy when you finished with them?

A beautiful restoration of a interesting item. To find a complete set of weights, I would imagine to be quite rare. Thank you for sharing !

What a beautiful set! Great job!

Your attention to detail is admirable. Some collector will be over the moon with this restoration. BRAVO!!

Phil - that was a fantastic restoration = Love the wood grain on the carry box 👍👍

Nice job you did restoring the weights for a kitchen scale. They look much better than before. Excellent work.

Hella dope results, @CrustyRestorations!

Nice job and looks great. FYI, polishing/sanding the smaller weights most likely made them less accurate. Not really an issue with the larger ones. I assume you were going for them to look good over super accuracy anyway.

Why did you cover those three holes? Maybe there are some weights missing?

A spectacular restoration!!!!

How did you test the weights after?

Great work> I think the large rectangle used to hold 0.0, 0.2 and 0.5 gram pieces of brass with one corner turned up, for mor accurate measudements. The smaller rectangle used to hold a pair of tweezers for picking up these small pieces. My set has many of these pieces so that any combination of small weight could be made. Hope this helps.

So beautiful...

Dam that's Awsome mate

What a beautiful work 👍👍

good job; looking forward to the restoration of the scale it self.

En debut de vidéo, vous demandez de quel bois il s'agit. C'est du hêtre (beech in inglish). C'est un bois dur sui correspond très bien pour ce genre de fabrication.

Is this wood Ash or Beech? Ash is the wood of choice for tool handles, due to its toughness and springiness. It has a yellow hue. Beech on the other hand has a pink hue, very distinctive medullary rays. It is the wood of choice for fine box work, because the wood grain is very even, and allows fine shaping without splitting or veering off course. It is clear to me that this box is made of Beech.

It's a beech wood.

Molto bravo ottimo lavoro davvero... Ora tocca alla bilancia... Non vedo l'ora di vederti presto all'opera con la bilancia!!! Ciao grazie del video!!! 🇮🇹💯👍

Very Good. Congratulations.

look like beech wood to me, nice restoration!

Amazing restoration mate! 😊

Beautiful restoration! Great job!

🤩WOW, BEAUTIFUL JOB.👍🏻 Every time you used a different polish or paste, I would think, “Damm, this guy has a talent for details.” Even the hardware got a high shine. Screws, hooks and hinges looked brand new. Fantastic work ❤

Good job. Looks very nice.

Awesome work 👏

I think it is beech. Pretty good work!

Very beautiful restoration 👌👍👍👍

Beech wood. Love working with it. You made it shine mate ❤

Between 9:25 and 14:10 there is no sound. Probably file compression issue.

Nice job! 😊

Coming now to your channel. From Brasil 🇧🇷. 🙋‍♀️ 🤝

well done!!!

Great job

Expensive weight set I guess. 😎

Excellent work mam ship

What a great job it looks fantastic, the wood i think is beech, it has those characteristic black flecks in it

Indeed, beech wood. Had these sets at elementary school in The Netherlands to learn about weights and scale.

I have a set very similar to this. You’ve inspired me to find them and give them some love. I used to work for Pitney Bowes, a postage meter company. We had “swing” type scales for weighing letters and parcels. The weights were for calibration

An engineers calibration kit, I worked for Herbert and Sons Ltd. One of the oldest companies in the UK we had to have them sent from the HQ to the engineers, Bizerba (you may have seen these German scales on Morrisons food counters, )we all carried both One of these sets and cast iron, when we still sold things by the lb we carried imperial weights too! Your set is missing the "delta" weights which were sub gram platinum which you used to test for what point your scale rounded up to the next increment on the scale, you should be able get these weights tested and recalibrate by the TSO (trading standards office) we never polished the weights as it would make them lighter, nice job.😊 I still have my imperial cast iron weights 😊

Great video!!!!!

Maravilloso trabajo !! Bravo !!

Looks beautiful new. Could have come straight from the shop. Everything old perfectly removed

Really beautiful work - and it is beech wood.

First of all a fantastic detailing job! - But - gonna shock you ? if I say an old patina of the box was somehow interesting? same way weights - ok dirty can be clean & polish a bit but I am closer to "a bit patina" friend...(weights collector)

Amazing Work

Amazing bro👍👍👍👍👍

I would agree, Beech. Or European Beech. It’s a beautiful, durable wood.

You can always put pieces of felt around the inside to keep the weights from rattling around in the box. Other than that… beautiful job.

Bravissimo. Meticoloso e precisissimo. Complimenti!!👌

Beautiful work! What is the rectangle shape for?

Дерево - это бук.

It looks like beech wood.

Dude just sanded off the precision weights!

A JOB WELL DONE

Perfect 👌

The proper saw to use would be a Japanese flush-cut pull saw. Very inexpensive and very effective.

Bravo Monsieur 🤙

I miss the yellow paint. Otherwise really nice looking.

Belo trabalho, mas tampou os três furos dos dois pesos de uma grama e um peso de duas gramas. O jogo não está completo.

Nice job

volgens mij is het beuken en die kleine gaten zijn voor gewichten

Would the sanding and polishing affect the weight of the weights, especially the smaller ones?

Beautiful

It is beech wood

That wood looks to be Beechwood.

That looks like beech wood.

Would love to see a follow up comparing the weight on a new scale

The wax is the most perfect finish. I don’t as a rule use bees wax, as I find is so soft. I usually use carnauba wax. But nothing beats a wax finish. It makes the wood more touchable

Молодец, классно смотрится

Grest job! Miles different then the original. I wonder why people paint nice wood. Always confused me.

Там ещё пинцетик должен быть, а в прямоугольном отсеке под стёклышком грамульные пластиночки. В отверстие которое чопики забили весы вставлялись.

Wood looks like beech.

Looks like beech wood

These look like the weights we had in school for Physics. Our kitchen weights were naturally Imperial, stacked from 2 lb up to quarter ounce.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The slot in both the base and the lid was used for tweezers. The largest slot only at the base was used to put some silver metal sheets that weighed 1g, 2g, 5g and I think also 10g, I don't remember if there were more weights. We used it when I was little at school for chemistry class. I seem to remember that there were 3 of 1gr, 2 of 2gr and I don't remember how many of 5gr.

هل توافقني الراي ان الاوزان فقدت دقتها ولا يمكن استخدامها بالمعايرة والضبط؟ بل يمكن وضعها في متحف

What did you use to remove the oxydation?

What is the white material you encased the brass pieces early in the video ?

The first flower with the bee is a white digitalis, be careful when touching it, it affects the heart.

How much does the wheigts weigh after restauration?

The weights must be re-calibrated .

The residue of oil is the result of wrong application. When oiling wood you have to remove the excess with a dry cloth before the oil is drying. Otherwise you have these sticky areas of oil which will never completely dry. Besides that: You really didn't recognize beech? I don't think so. It was just a bait for comments.

No, I really should, everyone has mentioned. But the owner was going to melt them for scrap, so brought them, at least saved from the smelter 👍

If no one answered your question it is (ブナ) buna or Japanese beechwood. I like using this wood if I can get it, but it is a hardwood used in making Japanese hand planes because of the hardness and ease with which it can be cut and shaped.

It seems plátano

Sycamore

6:50 Это бук. It's a beech

Good job on restoring the scale weight, but kinda disappointed when you cover the small 3 holes. My family has bigger scale weights that can measure up to 100kg İt's still working now and they often ask me to clean it, and everytime i clean it they always make sure i don't increase or reduce the weight Sorry for my bad English 😊

Очень боялась как бы мастер не решил опять покрасить ящик.

Are you going to restore the scale too?

beech wood

The wood is Beech.

Why did you put multicolor paints all over it so you could "restore" it? Why did you fill the holes for the smaller weights?
