Hey folks, in this video I restored an old Portable Brass Scale. This Scale is around 70 Years old. The condition was bad, since the brass was tarnished and the main body was rusted. So after disassembling the portable scale, I started with cleaning the brass and preserving it with shellack. After that i sandblasted all the parts, did some metal works and cold/hot blued every part. The hook broke while disassembling, so i made a new one.
I hope you have fun with the video! If you have any questions on the used tools, materials or the processes, write it in the comment section - i´ll try to answer as soon as possible!

Thanks for tuning in! I wish you a lot of fun with the video - and I hope you like it 🙂
It was super sweet!
du hast immer die besten Untertitel, mach weiter so bro
Schön, dass Du die Messingplatte nicht bis zum Spiegelfinish poliert hast. Das erhält den Charakter von solch alten Werkzeugen und macht Deinem Namen alle Ehre. 😜
Beautifully done guys 👍
I too was impressed with just how accurate it was - that spring must have been treated very well. Great work, Mister Patina!
Thanks a lot Chris!
Posted 39 secs ago!, last time I was this early i was....wait. A wizard is never early nor is he late. He arrives precisely when he means to
Haha, thanks! 🙂
Alright gandalf calm down lol!!

Yerrr a wizard ‘arry.
That setup for straightening 7:40 the curved end of the housing. This is why I love watching restoration videos. In about 15 seconds I learned a new technique for repairing tricky bent sheet metal parts that was easily set up and performed beautifully. Thanks for the tip!
Thanks man, iam glad you like my work!
we loved this programme and all your others . danke
Thanks a lot! :-)
Dedicated Work and Clean Work.
Good Job!
Thanks!
Great job.

Хорошо блестят! И чётко показывают веса! ☝️🤓Теперь на рынок бери с собой, чтобы продавцы не обманули с весом товара (мясо там или овощи) ☺️
Привет спасибо вам! Ха-ха, да, я скоро это сделаю :-)
Nicely done as always, mein freund!
Thanks a lot mein Freund! :-)
Impressive to see this smooth scale surface past restoration. Great work!

Thanks Mac, greets from Germany 🙂✌️
@@misterpatina THX 😉👍
Love your work I have a pocket scale,mine is tube shape the pointer is gone. My question is 1) we’re you working from? 2)Would you be interested in restoring it for me
amazing job !!!
Thanks! 🙂
Very good
Thanks!
I fould a scale face that looks a lot like that one on the bottom of folsum lake when it was drained in Sacramento ware a town (mormons island) burned down in 1857 or so😊
👍🏼💙 nice job.
Thanks :-)
I think tomato catsup in a plastic bag would have cleaned the brass too.
Yup, that really works because of the vinegar.
Another cool project!
There's no real way to true these up, is there? Other than to replace the spring?
Camera quality is best, Which one do use camera
Sony AX43 :-)
As always, another great job. But where do you get your sanding cubes and adhesive paper?
What’re those sanding stickers and blocks?
Its called "Kovax" Sanding block. Its designed for finishing paintjobs and imperfections. But it performed pretty well on brass too :-)
🥰🥰🥰
I love your content. It's always relaxing and inspiring. 🥰🥰🥰
Thanks a lot buddy!
Ooohhooo,I love this content,I feel so nice while watching your videos !!! 👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️
Hey John, iam glad you like it!
Good restore👍👍👍
Thanks man!
They had to have big a..s pockets back in the time. It turned out beautiful. Nice job.
Thanks bud! 🤙
Remember the hotest part of the torch flame is were the light blue cone ends, inside that cone there is only hot air. This tip will make your heatings more efficient. Good luck.
Parole de plombier ! 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 Vous avez entièrement raison ! 👍
Super restoration. Thanks for sharing
Thanks!
Bravooo, best perfect work, abs. awesom video and work precision, full respect...!
Harika bir restorasyon oldu, tebrikler dostum. Günümüzün teknolojik aletlerinden daha güzel bir aletmiş.
Çok teşekkürler!
Precision always deserves respect 🫡
Thanks! 🙂
You could paint the top of that weight indicator red or orange. Just that needle sticking out!!! Greetings from Serbia!!! 🇷🇸
What a simple device that just gets the job done.... like weighing those bags of pot while in the field.
3:19 "a cup" roflmao
Ahoi Mister Patina, your Restoration was a Success Awsome Video Keep going my Sailor Patina 😁👍🏻
Haha, iam pretty happy everytime i read your comments! :-)
@@misterpatina i know you Do Bro. 🤙🏻☺️
I* feel like if you got a plastic tote, and a small mist bottle, you could apply the cold blue solution using that, and just recapture the overspray within the tote. or an airspray bottle would work too, of course. and you wouldn't have these brush strokes? maybe more even coating?
Another well deserved like. Thank you for your content.
Thanks for watching! 🙂
Cold blueing is so satisfying to watch! Great job once again
Its pretty satisfiyng to do it :-)
Nice job! Just wondering: why some blueing hot, others cold?
KOVAXのトレブロックが出てきた時に、思い切り笑った😂
Hex Key Anvil 🔥
Saludó desde la República Dominicana excelente vídeo
great work, but I disliked the bit when the scale was painted with clearcoat directly onto the metal. the clearcoat will crack after a few days.
My dad had this exact same one when I was little. I remember pinching my finger on it once.
Get some Bar Keepers friend for cleaning your brass. Cheaper and more simple
11:38 I have the same lighter, I bought it in LIDL
Me too :D
I really like the Kovax sanding cube!!
And me here thinking you cant get a better bbq than the one that spin to get high or lower...I was so wrong XD
A fish scale is what I grew up calling them. head out fishing and use one of those to find out how much the caught fish weighs.
Gadzooks, I don't know why but this looks like it was a fun one to restore - Nice work as always! By the way, your helping hand looks like it needs a bit of a thorough wash haha
Haha, yeah this was an 'easy' one. Thanks a lot man, I hope you’re doing well 🙂
If you work in a shop your Hands get dirty. Even the helping ones. 😂
@@misterpatina Thanks, all is well here, hopefully the same can be said about you! 😁
....lookin' good, nice job, keep well...
Thanks Bob!
Serious question: I like your videos, but why is your channel named "Mister Patina" if you always remove all patina?
I hear that often. Honestly explained: my name isn’t „Mister I leave a little patina“ or „Mister I remove all the patina“.
I just like old stove and I like patina, but I also like old stuff fully restored. Iam a trained car Restaurator, where I get in touch with all the styles. Good preserved, fully restored or total trash.
I just like the name. Hope you understand.
Greetings from Petersburg!
We call such this device - a Steelyard. (Безмен ( b'izm'en )).
Dude, you need to go to the gym. 00:25 You could not pull 25 kg. There will be another Mr. Patina soon, and you will need strength. Dude, just trust me. Strength will be needed!
I wish good health to all three! ;)))
Haha, thanks man! I tried to save all the power for restoring, not for pulling :D
Thanks! :-)
Great Restoration on an lovely antique item 👍😊 and you preserved that old look 👍 Great !!
Thanks mate!
Отличная работа 👍👍👍 как всегда на высоте, молодец
Lavoro ben fatto e accurato, complimenti 👍👍👍👍👍
Mille Gracie 🙂✌️
some hot-bluing action.
finally
Terrible cake/bread recipe, that would have been salty and crunchy. I'm glad you decided against trying to make a food video. 😉
Haha, yeah i better focus on metal stuff :D
Nice one.
Little advice: ii English, there's no need for articles in "cup", "salt", "vinegar" etc
Haha, thanks Alexander. This is one of my running gags. You can also see it in other videos :-)
Man, you lucked out on this one. It obviously needed work but for the most part it actually had good parts. Doesn't mean I didn't love the video. Keep up the good work.
Hey, I agree. The condition wasnt too bad. Thank you :-)
Super precious finishing of the surfaces. Joyful to watch your work! Thanks, MP!
Thanks for watching!
Another “sweet” job. Congratulations.
Thanks Roger!
Sweet, sweet, super sweet.
😄😄😄
That’s the way to go 😄
“You can also crack locks this way”
“That’s what my friends tell me anyway”
Haha!
I did the same last year. The result was horrible. Maybe because I have taken the flour out of a plastic cup?
Haha! Yeah maybe :D
That came out nice, although I think all your projects come out very nice.
Haha, thank you so much Nora!
This is very odd, why does it have English words on it, yet it is graduated in Kilos or Zollts. I have no idea what a zollt is, can someone explain?
The 'ZOLL +-' is the old unit for costums pound, something like taxes or a fee. It’s defined as 500 grams.
Midwives used to use these scales for weighing babies at at-home checkups back in the day
Interesting! :-)
low machine helping. brilliant iq
It's interesting how someone calculated dimensions for the spring to keep it accurate through the span of weights. Your work is very good.
I totally agree! Thanks a lot!
Love your work 👍
Iam glad you do! 🙂
That squeaking sounds like me getting out of bed lol, great video mate 😁👍
Haha, thanks Roger!
Great video my friend and congrats 😉👌
Thanks my friend!
MY MOTHER HADE THE SAME TYPE A JOB WELL DONE
i would have loved to see the backbody of the scale in a japanning finish, instead of just using blueing. Have you tried japanning before? Could go over to Hand Tool Rescue to get some tips on his recipe and how to apply it. Might be something for the next restoration? 😉
درود، بازسازی بی نقص و حرفه ای، همیشه ویدیوی کارکردن یک استاد که میداند چه انجام میدهد مرا هیجان زده میکند.
سلام ممنون از کلمات زیبای شما
@@misterpatina از توجه شما سپاسگزارم
We had one of those. Took it fishing!
Can cold bluing be sprayed on using a fine atomizer?
I think that should be possible, BUT i wouldnt do, since its an acid. And I dont want to have it in my loungs.
En Perú se lo llama "Romana".
Clever to see you using that tiny hammer from your previous restoration to fix something cool! Love your work as it's inspiring! Keep up good work! :D
Thanks, iam glad you like my stuff :-)
No one can explain to me the purpose of the salt… What does salt do to brass?
Aaaand I just read a science paper on the use of sodium chloride and the weak acid reacting with the copper oxide. Sweet!!! Now I know. 🧐
Love it
Thanks.a lot my friend!
Excellent - thank you! ✌🏻🎨☕️
Thanks Susannah! 🙂
Flea market find?
A next very good Job very cool Video war wieder echt interessant und natürlich wie bei dir gewohnt einfach eine perfekt umgesetzte Restauration ❤️👍❤️⭐
Hey, danke!
What was that shaft from, an old golf-club or something? Just curious from the markings denoting a gripping area.
Regardless, nice recycling and restoration! I wonder if the old hook was hardened and that's why it broke?
Maybe heat could have saved it, maybe not.
Hey Furry! The shaft was from a dial gauge. Iam pretty sure some heat couldve saved it, but on the other hand i didnt think that itll break THAT fast :D
Ah! That's why it looked familiar, thanks!
Yeah, been there done that, always a pain when things just snap like that!
Hot and cold bluing. You are spoiling us. ❤🙂
Haha, thanks Tabby! :-)
When opening an eye or loop it's best to bend it sideways.
Youre right, thanks!
Bravo! Thank you!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A pleasure to watch👍
Thanks buddy!
