Perfect 1950's Wesco Oil Gun Restoration
In this video, i'm restoring this 1954 Wesco Oil Can Gun, made in Birmingham, UK.
That's 70 years to the year, covered in old oil and gunk.
Time to make it shine once more.
There was traces of possibly the original sticker. I've spent some time trying to locate the original design, but to no avail, only modern stickers. If anyone has images of this, would be great.
It was clearly a shade of red, burgundy, so stayed with this on the powder coating. And a nice two tone black.
A fair bit of prepping, sanding, polishing and re-assembly.
Came out pretty nice.
Sincerely, thanks for watching, I appreciate the views and comments. Feel free to like & subscribe, if not, thats also cool. . . It all helps us smaller channels

Antique Super Rusty Billhook Knife Restoration

Sorry its been so long, but nice to be back and tinkering . . In this video, i'm restoring this neglected Billhook Garden knife/cleaver/machete. Its been sitting around for sometime, pretty rusty, thick and heavy. As you can see from the pumpkin chop, not much of an edge. Certainly a few 'learning curves' on this one, failed wood, failed welds and dicey polishing near miss. Spent some time usin...

Hi all, thanks for stopping by and watching this latest restoration video of these 1930s 'Cooper Stewart' Rain King Sprinklers... Been sat outside for some years, so much so, I cracked the shaft for the hose nozzle. Sadly i don't have a lathe, so have had to patch it with metal cold weld. But seems to have worked.

Rusty & Tarnished Antique Salter Pocket Scale Restoration - 100+ years old?

Hi everyone . . Thanks for stopping by and watching this latest restoration video of some Vintage Salter Pocket Scales. The pocket balance was first created in 1770 by Richard Salter in the UK. I've tried researching, but there's so many different models. Unsure of the exact age of this, but its easily over 80 years old, maybe older This item had years of tarnish, with very thin brass so had to...

    Never seen a lathe chuck on a drill before. Very smart. Quick question: what is the purpose of off gassing the handle? Excellent job.

    • @CrustyRestorations
      @CrustyRestorations День тому

      Hi, mini lathe chuck, great for little jobs. And small sheds like mine. outgassing helps get unwanted trapped materials out of metals before powder coating. Such as air, gasses, oils, water etc. Otherwise can result in a bubbly/pinhole horrible paint finish. Hope that helps, thanks for watching. 👍

    Awesome job! I’m just about to start work on a similar sprinkler for my channel and UA-cam recommended your video - how does it know?!😂 I’ve got my eye on the same powder coating system that you use - is it something you would recommend, particularly for someone with no previous experience? Many thanks.

    • @CrustyRestorations
      @CrustyRestorations 29 днів тому

      @DistinctlyAverageRepairs hi, i was very dubious about that powder coating system. But after a phone call to the suppliers and a rest assured return if not happy, I made the leap. It's a nice bit of kit, it's taken a few goes to get the air pressure right, but coating is lots of fun. Compared to priming, painting, lacquering and waiting days between each.drop me a dm on tik tok, I'll pass her details in. Good luck with it.👍👍

I have actually had some contact with the company and have been impressed with what I’ve seen/heard but it’s nice to get a view from someone who is actually using it.
