I appreciate the amount of time and work that goes into these projects. I also absolutely love your humour. The jokes you put in here - from “tasting” various materials to smashing your head through the sandblaster - are so funny and well placed. Keep doing what you’re doing man!

@sailorbychoice1 5 лет назад
then you have never spent two hours per day polishing stupid brass fittings that have no logical reason to be shiny other than some asshole in khaki likes ta see em shine. Fxxk Brasso and Neverdull. having said that... you can get rid of the gunk without _polishing_. drop the brass into a bucket of water with about 3x recommended unsweetened lemonade powder (like Koolade~UNSWEETENED or you sticky everything) let sit for a couple hours and wipe. It doesn't polish the brass but rids the brass of the tarnish, leaves it a bit dull, not shined but clean of tarnish.

Some things to menition: I like your work very much. The hot glue is a clever trick! :) Some improvements for next time: Please do not sandblast the housing of a blower the inside is a sealing surface and it will be damaged. Please put the liquid sealingaround the screwholes on both sides, otherwise ther may be leaks Please put at first the positioning Pins inside and afterwards the screws or bolts, otherwise there can be some stress in the housing. I would never put the soft foam inside the wiremesh airfilter, it may bes sucked inside the housing and scramble up the Rotor, which would be very sad :( Kind regards Kai Heetjans

With the foam on the inside of the brass cage, is there a possibility that it will get sucked into the pump?

I'd think so, especially once the foam gets loaded with dust. Seems more likely to me the mesh is intended to support a sock filter pulled over the outside as used on dirt bikes.
@mogeroithe

Not likely. No more airflow than what it had, chances are extremely slim. It would take a massive force of airflow to dislodge the foam.

My father repaired musical instruments, and back in the 1950s he had a later model of a Hypress blower that he used with a small natural gas torch. He used it to silver solder and soften metals before bending. The output of the blower was anything but impressive, but it worked well with a 1/4 hp motor.
@WHJeffB

Love all your videos, excellent work! I like that you try to reuse as much of the original pieces as possible and you don't "over restore". Friendly piece of advice. Nitrile or latex gloves are your friend. Skin is an organ and absorbs nasty things like the chemicals in penetrating oil, solvents, etc. Not a big deal for the occasional weekend resto-warrior, but if you're exposing yourself daily, protecting your skin matters. A box of 50 pair of "shop gloves" (heavier duty than the light blue ones you get in the paint aisle) is $20 or less all day long. Get a box, your circulatory system and especially your liver will love you for it.

This same basic design of air pump is still in use for the same purpose -- separating sheets of paper for the feed into a printing press. All three of my printing presses (the oldest was made in the '70s and the newest in 1996) have somewhat larger versions, which supply both the air to separate the sheets and the vacuum that picks the sheet up and chunks it into the gripper. My pumps have three Bakelite vanes inside that slide freely in slots in the impeller. They are kept against the chamber wall by centrifugal force, instead of that complicated metal seesaw arrangement. I have to rebuild these pumps every few years (the Bakelite wears down); there's a kit I get that includes new gaskets and vanes. I've found that the key to keeping these pumps working well is to keep them oiled and clean inside, and do everything in your power to seal that sucker TIGHT when reassembling it -- but don't put the covers on TOO tight, or they bind the impeller. I've gone so far as to lap the covers onto the body with Bon-Ami before using both the rebuild kit's thin cellophane gasket and that "instant gasket" stuff. At least you had less trouble with the pulley than I did on one of mine. Some dolt had beat on the shaft end with a sledge or something and enlarged it (which to my shame I didn't notice) , so the pulley WOULD NOT come off, period. I wound up getting it off in pieces and finding a replacement.

Nice work as always! Good that you did not polish it up and make it look new. L.J. Wing Co. is still in existence. They seem to make heating and HVAC equipment now. My dad had an L.J. Wing blower that he connected to a 1/4 hp motor and used with a gas blow lamp or blow torch. He repaired brass and woodwind musical instruments and was a true artisan.

That trick with the hot glue is f***ing brilliant! You just saved me a lot of sanding to remove tool marks and a plethora of swear words on my latest project. :-) Thank you, Sir!

You're the best, and we need more epic balloon pretzels! You have the tools and hand technique of an aircraft mechanic.

Sad how people in 2121 won't be seeing any "restoring a 2021 computer" because everything's made of plastics and electronics nowadays:/ On another topic, I just discovered this channel, thanks to RU-vid's algorhythm, and I really like it. I hope this restoration will be as satisfying as the computing cheeze cutter one !

I like how you cut the pins for the name plate with a hammer and utility blade. So many ppl mangle them trying to pull the pins or grinding the pins off

Watching you do these things REALLY makes me miss my tools while I'm in Japan... Still, I do have one of your wrenches wending its way through the postal system to me. So, I guess I'll survive if I can add a new tool to use taking things apart and then trying to remember how to put them back together... lol

That blower is as much art as it is a tool. Glad you didn't take away the patina

The way that piston works is ingenious. I wonder if it's ever been used in an internal combustion engine. Very cool!

Very similar sliding-vane pumps are used to pump oil in many engines and automatic transmission.
