      have a hammer about 200 years old from my great great grandfather who came from Holland. This hammer is a family heirloom. I’m not sure what type of metal it’s made out of, it has a leather handle. I’ll pay you $250 to restore her.

    Was für eine professionelle Restaurierung zeigen Sie uns mit diesem Projekt. Für einen Neuling wie mich sind Sie ein Meister der Motivation geworden. Vor zwei Wochen fand ich beim Ausmisten eines alten Bauernhofes in Belgien eine Salter's No.50 Waage in englischer Version. Die Entscheidung zur Wiederherstellung wurde sofort getroffen. Was für ein schönes Stück industrielles Erbe diese Waage ist. Dein Video kommt genau zur richtigen Zeit und beantwortet alle Fragen, die mir im Kopf herumschwirrten. Vielen Dank für das Teilen Ihrer Erfahrungen. Sie haben in mir einen neuen Follower Ihres Kanals gefunden. Grüße aus den Niederlanden.

    What a beautiful restoration! You are very talented, and obviously take pride in your work. A family member had a Salter scale very similar to this - perhaps a 1930s make. It had the same brass face, but was a very pale mint green, it was a very striking combination. But I do like the gold trim you added.

    That, good sir, is absolutely beautiful! The paint job you did is perfect, makes the whole chassis of the machine look more like porcelain than cast iron. And I, for one, love your lathe the best of every single lathe I have seen in restoration videos. The fact that it can do typical lathing duties and still do double duty as a milling machine makes this the MUST OWN machine in anyone's shop. Seriously!

    my grandmother has a similar Salter scale. I think from the factory that they were enamel coated. I don't mean enamel paint, I mean proper enamel coating. The pitting on the cast surface wouldn't have been an issue. Also, the fashion of that era would most probably have been blue detail of similar shade to the masking tape you used and not gold. This is just FYI. I always enjoy your restos

  • @DrHutOfHandcraft
    @DrHutOfHandcraft 2 роки тому +4

    Great job, wonderful restoration! I really liked how you did the milling for the screw slots without having a cross table and reshaping back the table!
    Btw get yourself some threaded sleeves (Gewindehülse), they are pretty cheap and when putting the screw in there you don't damage the thread when clamping in the chuck. And they make working on the lathe a lot easier (and safer) when you want to sand small screws, because with the sleeve the screw is further away from the chuck. You can get them at pretty much every hardware store and you can just buy one or two for every thread size you use.
    Anyways, very much enjoyed the video. Thank you for sharing!
