In this video I restored an old hydraulic jack.
I found it on a junkyard/metal waste. When I saw it I really wondered why someone would throw this away, because it wasn’t in a very bad condition, besides being very dirty.
As you can see it wasn’t too hard restoring it and making it work again and I am sure you guys could do that too! If you don’t have a lathe it’s not a problem. Pretty much everything I did on the lathe can also be done without one. Also sandblasting is not mandatory. So go on, restore stuff and save it from scrap disposal! :) If it can be repaired, why throw it away?
Simplified explanation of the physics behind hydraulic jacks:
Other than gases fluids are incompressible. The laws of fluid (liquid) pressure (Pascal’s law) says that pressure in fluids spreads evenly through the liquid. Example: If you put pressure on a fluid then there will be the same pressure everywhere in that fluid (if hydrostatic pressure is neglected).
Through the pumping movement hydraulic oil gets pushed into the jack cylinder and pushes the ram up, since the hydraulic jack is a „closed conduit“. The oil in the jack can’t be compressed (like air for example: compressed air), so it has to push something away to move. It’s kind of the same principle of a syringe.
If you wan’t more detailed info just write it in the comments and I will try my best to answer your questions.
The work on the project took about 30 hours (inclusive filming) plus about 18 hours of editing.

How I saved a hydraulic jack from scrap disposal. Restoration/Overhaul I Dr. Hut of Handcraft
Skills, + a sense of humour. All credit to you Sir, & thanks for sharing !
Glad you liked it :) Thank you!
I maintained and repaired many of these hydraulic jacks as well as tripod jacks used to lift up aircraft while in the service. This video took me back over 40 years. Thanks.
Thank you for your comment, much appreciated!
Another item saved from the landfill.. cracking restoration 👍
Thank you 🙏🏼
No talking, no music - only sound of work. That what I want! 👏
You have one new subscriber 👈
By the way, amazing Full HD - 1080p camera! 👌
Thank you so much for your support!
Bei dem Hydraulikheber musste ich sofort an meinen Friseurstuhl denken, den ich vor Jahren im Sperrmüll vor der Haustür fand. Damit hatte ich zwar weniger Arbeit und bis auf die Schrauben, die Sitz und Unterteil verbinden war alles in Ordnung aber der Spaß, mit dem Fußhebel aus dem Schreibtischstuhl einen Barhocker zu machen ist bis heute da. Der Lieblingsplatz meiner Gäste. Tolles Video wieder, gute Bildauswahl und Schnitt. 👍👍👍👍👍
Es ist immer toll wenn man aus etwas altem etwas neues machen kann 🙂
Danke für deinen Kommentar!
As allways i really enjoyed your video. Truly professional and entertaining. My only complaint is that we dont see as much of your work as i would like. Great job thanks.
Thank you very much!
I really do my best to post as much content as I can, but I also want to present you guys high quality content and that takes time. Also I go to medical school, so I am over occupied most of the time 🥲😅 thank you for your support!
Thanks for the explanation of cold bluing. Other channels say things along the line of “it turns the metal black so it won’t rust,” and I knew that wasn’t the whole story!
Thank you, glad you liked it! I will make a whole video about cold bluing on my second channel soon, I am already preparing it! Check it out if you like, my second channel is @DrHutsLab
I love how easy it is to follow the restoration, thanks to the amazing camera work.
Thank you so much mate, it’s much appreciated 🙏🏼
What an amazing piece! I have never seen anything like it. I can't imagine how much time went into restoring it, let alone your skill and talent. Bravo!
Thank you ! 🙏🏼
Another excellent restoration.
I also really respect the quality of your filming and editing. I know how difficult it is and your camera work is so clear, well lit and edited really well. Thank you Sir.
Thank you for the kind words mate, I really appreciate it!
Amazing,Superb,some times restorer stood better than creator,love U❤❤❤
Thank you 🙏🏼
Excellent work, as usual.
Thank you!
Another great video. Really enjoyed the car segment 😂💪🏻
Me too, even though it wasn’t planned like that 😂 Thank you for your support Chris!
I want to add to my previous statement that many of the other ground support equipment mechanics I worked with did not like working on anything that did not have a power plant. They felt it was beneath them. I felt that if I did not do a good job that the jack would fail and the load it was carrying would fall on whoever was under it. That person would be terribly hurt or killed and of course the load which could be a vehicle or aircraft would be damaged. I commend you for your excellent work on bringing these abused and often forgotten pieces back to working condition.
Thank you once again for your comment, I truly appreciate it!
That was great project and enjoyable to watch. Thanks! See you next time.
Thanks mate, much appreciated 🙏🏼
As usual a very good restro and great entertaining video. Stay safe...captjack
Glad you liked it! Thank you!
Nice restoration
Thank you!
Nice job Doc. I enjoyed watching it.
Thank you Dave, glad you liked it!
Echt beeindruckend, wie viel Liebe du da reinsteckst. Auch der Teil mit dem Entzinken udn Verzinken. Sehr cool.
Danke 😊
Nice job mate. Well done 👍
Thank you! 🙏🏼
Another great restoration. 👍👍
Thank you! 🙏🏼
I love this alot thank you it's so peaceful
Thank you!
Amazing results
Thank you!
I hope you find a trolley jack to do as I enjoyed watching this video keep up the fantastic work and videos
I’ll keep my eyes open 🙂
Great Video my Friend! Amazing work! ❤
Thanks mate, much appreciated 🙏🏼
Guess you need a new car now to use that jack 😂 - beautiful restoration and absolutely suberb video quality 👌 👍
😂😂 Thank you mate 🙏🏼
Awesome work! You also used the pipe wrench incorrectly at the beginning.
Thank you 🙏🏼 I know 🥲😅
4:14 the forbidden mayonnaise
Not suitable for consumption 😄
lol, loud music at the end!
also you should print a little sticker for the front :)
😄
I don’t really like stickers, that’s why I left it blank
Excellent work 👍👍
Thank you! 🙏🏼
Cooool again 😮❤
Thank you very much’
Like right at the beginning! But you used the plumbing pliers turning in reverse. Hehehe
I know 😅 But it worked 😂
@@DrHutOfHandcraft And I can't resist commenting because it's hilarious! Excellent works!
@@GilsonJr.Whitout.Numbers thank you very much! Comments help a lot, I appreciate it very much 🙏🏼
@@DrHutOfHandcraft You do not have to thank me. Your content makes us want to set up a personal workshop! But we need, apart from your chemical and mechanical knowledge, to have a lathe! Hehehe
@@GilsonJr.Whitout.Numbers Thank you so much for your kind words! Btw I also started without a lathe, everything comes with time 🙂 Good luck with your workshop!
Fantastic work, dude! Really well done!!! 😃
About the toy car, perhaps it's time for you to invest in a rc car, hum? 😉
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
😄😄 Thanks mate 🙏🏼
Another valuable and useful tool brought back to life with some chemistry thrown in - a perfect combination for me. Awesome job done. Quick question. I notice the nut at the top of the device was really quite gnarly and battered and was wondering why this was only cleaned up but not aesthetically improved by machining on the lathe or some degree of filing? Great video, though.
Thank you!
The marks on the nut at the top were casting marks and I just decided to keep them as a contrast to the freshly painted part. Also I like the look of cold blued parts with casting marks 😄 It was just aesthetically pleasing for me so I left it like that 🙂 Thank you for your comment!
You have an arbor press, and now with the jack you can build a hydraulic press!
You are going to medical school? And restore machinery in your spare time and make videos about it. You are a man with many diverse interests! 🙂
Would be pretty cool to have an hydraulic press 🤔😄
Thanks for your comment my friend
Better than new.
Thank you!
4:54, the 12 volts parkside drill / screwdriver i love it i use one just like it at work
It’s really good 👍🏼
magnificent, it’s very pleasant to watch when a master restores the smallest details to perfection. tell me what about the emblem? why didn't you restore it?
Thank you!
The sticker was in a very bad shape and I couldn’t restore it. And I personally also don’t like stickers on tools 😄
@@DrHutOfHandcraftbut sometimes why have important safety information..etc S.W.L
RESPECT +
Thank you so much!
I wonder why it didn't work in the first place 🤔great video BTW
Because there was no oil in it 🙂 I explained the basic physics of hydraulic jacks in the video description, check it out if you like
Using pipe wrench backwards. Pipe wrench designed to pivot tighter as turned. The way you were using it forces jaw to pivot open. Hmmm…..
I know, I did it the right way at the end of the video :)
You can still use that jack if you have a truck, but nice restoration
I don’t have a truck 😄 thank you
Y bueno, al final no se sabe de qué capacidad es este gato de levante... Asumo es para 5 toneladas. Es correcto?
Yes, it says 5 tons in the title of the video
pipe wrench was backwards at the beginning.
Don’t really know what you mean
@@DrHutOfHandcraft if you turn the pipe wrench around it will grip better, like at the end
@@JerroldKrenek ah now I understand what you are saying! Yes you are totally right!
😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
😄😄
Excellent work.../
Thanks!
You said it was dirty but in good condition. Why not just clean it, fill it with oil, bleed it and put it use?
With “good” condition I meant it was not in condition for dumping it at the metal waste like someone did. Of course you could do it like you described, but as you can see in the video the paintjob was in bad condition (probably due to poor paintjob before) and the zinc plating wasn’t in great condition also.
I've heard of "noble rot," but never "noble rust." For the chemically illiterate among us, would you expound on that a bit, please?
Noble rust isn’t a chemical term. Tbh I don’t even know if you can say it in english like that, but I have seen people explaining cold bluing and saying that the black layer is “noble rust”, which means “Edelrost” in german.
“Edelrost” is a even and wanted rust on steel surfaces for optical reasons and also further corrosion protection. It is literally rust but not always naturally occurring, you kind of make the part rust to have that desired finish.
Also “Edelrost” has a even surface unlike natural occuring rust. You could probably translate it into (desired) patina.
If you have more questions feel free to ask :)
nice job, but this is for jeep
Thank you!
