I chose to restore this oil lamp as it was in poor condition, every part of it was rusted badly and as you can see from the video there was alot of loose rust inside it. I like restoring old tools and this little rusty oil lamp was perfect.Once i started stripping it down it became evident how thin the metal actually was. I broke part of the aerator just from scrubbing with a scouring pad. The uprights on it had numerous dents in it and where very rusty which needed alot of repair work.
Once the filling had been completed and the first coat of primer went on it started to look alot better, This is my first attempt at repairing an object with filler and im pleased with the result. If any viewers out there or Subscribers can offer any advice on my technique i will try to incorporate it into my next project. Speaking of my next project, it comes from the 1940s. Remember to Subscribe so you dont miss out.
I spent about 20 hours or so on this project and about 10 hours editing.
