Hi folks thanks for watching this video. It was a long time in the making as I had so many issues with the plating. If you haven't already please consider Subscribing.

Thanks for watching and leaving a comment Alex much appreciated. That's a good question but also a little tricky to answers. It would depend on what materials and things you have laying around to get you started. I think it cost me about $20 as I had most of the needed supplies on hand.

@@Austeration I did my own solution because the one in store is expensive - I did copper solution as well as Nickle one but it was not sticking - I tried with penny and it worked but not regular stuff. Did you buy your solution? I also tried all kind of voltages.
@@DANYMITERESTORATION yes I made both my solutions but then lashed out and purchased the sulphate for both once I started having problems. Like you I tried everything. My fix was to use cotton buds and Break Clean to clean the parts. Even though I thought the parts had been cleaned enough the buds seemed to remove even more grime. I spend 3 hrs and over 100 buds to get that one piece to work. Maybe try that next time. What was the item you had been trying to coat ?
@@Austeration I saw the bud technique and it is a long one and I may try it in the future. I tried to nickel plate a bumper but ended chrome coating it. I will have to try your technique again - it is something to master:)
@@DANYMITERESTORATIONYes agreed, it takes far to long. Lucky for me I only had problems with that one piece. I might have to look at crome plating also. Did you find that easier ? Mastering it might take some time. Everyone makes it look so easy.
Amazing work! 😮✨✨ I have a question please… I see a lot of used ones in that same condition (brown, rust?, kinda dark, etc.) Does that mean the original nickel plating is totally gone? Or, is it just a surface rust/dirt on top of nickel plating and can still be polished to a shiny finish?
Hi thanks very much for watching. I am no expert on these by any means. Most of the ones I have seen are all in similar condition also. You might be lucky to find one that just needs a good clean to bring it back. Are you looking for one to fix up ?

Thanks for checking out my video. I hope you enjoyed it. Not sure if you looked at the description, but this belonged to my Grandfather. I'll check out the channel you mentioned. Thanks.
During all the video I tried to guess what this does 🤣🤣🤣 It's a very cool tool!!! Great and amazing job, it is probably very grateful to you!!! ❤❤❤ I would like to ask you something: Does that brazing technique work well?? I mean, does it keep the brass color for good or does it get quickly worn?? 🤔🤔 I'm thinking about be using this technique in some of my restorations 🤔🤔🤔
I hope you understand what it's for now after my lame attempt of demonstration lol. Good question are you talking about the brass plate with the heat and wire brush ? I think it would depend on what your using it on and how much use it gets. You could always put some clear coat over it to make it last much longer if it's something that is used everyday. I hope that was the answer to your question and I hope it helps.
Yes, that's precisely my doubt!! 😊😊 I think I will be trying it, it looks to be very easy to make, just heat and a brass brush!! Thank you!! Now let's watch and like more videos 😊😊
Hi Craig I'm not sure sorry. I looked up the Lee Valley blades to try and get some dimensions to compare with the ones I have but I couldn't really find much. What is your situation ? Do you have one of these planes without the blades ? I can probably give you the dimensions of the blades I have if that helps at all.
@@Austeration no worries. Thank you so much for trying! I’ll order one and let you know. I think they’re compatible (left blade for the rh plow), but the guy from lee valley didn’t know
This is simply an observation, my own opinion... Having & maintaining a set of manual tools & equipment seems wise & expedient. If all you have are powered tools & equipment, you would be unable to ply your trade in a grid down situation. I am all for using the highest technology that is available. Who wants to go back to the bad old days of manual technology & manual labor??? I recall the breathless anticipation of waiting for the first megabyte chip to become available to the general public. Who wouldn't, considering the previous technology? (Ferrite core memory...) So don't mistake me for a person who advocates going back to the old ways just for shits & giggles... 😂 I'm simply saying that owning & maintaining a lower tech set of tools & equipment might be wise. Just sayin'... 😊
Thanks for those very wise words 👍 I agree, some times doing things by hand brings a certain satisfaction. This tool belonged to my grandfather so restoring it was more about preserving it for memory. No one has time these days when a power tool can do everything so much quicker. Brilliant comment 👍
