What in the world is all over that iron?? It looks like it was dipped in batter and deep fried. Absolutely amazing transformation!!
Thanks for your beautiful message Julie. ❤️❤️
😂😂😂😂😂
It is called mica, it looks a bit like glass it was used in the doors of wood stoves at the turn of the century, it resists high temp that would break glass.
It was probably found buried in the ground somewhere or in a dump. Back in the late 19th or very early 20th century, people used to bury their old broken junk, ie, pots, pans, rugs, utensils, in the ground. I have found such things where I used to live as it used to be farmland before it was developed into city neighborhoods.
@@PrayerRideryou could probably sell that old stuff
Looked like something out of an archeological dig. Wow amazing how anything like that can actually be restored. Thankyou for bringing back a history we probably wouldnt have ever seen again.
Thank you very much for your nice comment. I am very happy that you liked it.💙
I love the side by side comparisons during the restoration. Amazing job!!
It's my favorite part too. I'm really looking forward to finishing the restoration as soon as possible and making the comparison. I'm so glad you like it.💚💚💚
Nice job. I like your patience and persistence. Antiques are my favorites, because they're well made and last a long time.
Thank you very much. They are both more beautiful, better quality and more useful in terms of durability and functionality compared to really newly produced products.💜💜
Its actually weird but these restoration Vedios help me to get sleep... Its like a good asmr kind of thing..!!
Then I wish you a good sleep while watching the videos. 😄I am very happy that you like my video. Thank you.❤️❤️❤️
That is beyond impossible. Your patience is incredible.
Thank you very much! ❤️❤️❤️
Fantastic restoration to as good as condition as possible, without it looking 'overdone'. ❤️ My gran had one of these - sadly, I threw it out about 15 years ago without giving it a second thought! 😢
Felt sorry for iron.I try my best to keep them as original as I can.
I think if they raise the titanic, you could restore it. LOL 😅😅
You brought this iron back from the dead.
You are not just a restorer, you Sir, are a genius.

Thanks for your nice comment. :)
Where the hell was this?? Inside the Titanic??
ust waited outside for a long time.Thanks for watching.
Artificially ‘aged’ to make the ‘restoration’ seem more legit.
@@Julmaa87 Really? Pray tell, how do you get rust to form like that "artificially"?
@@Khrystyna853I’m not going to judge the authenticity of the channel, but the rusting is the easy part, plenty of guides on how to do it online. What you can’t easily fake is *pitting*, where the rust has eaten away at the metal. Now obviously there is some pitting on the iron, but it’s fairly superficial compared to the amount of crap that was caked on it. There are plenty of restoration videos where the item isn’t half as rusty as this but has some severe pitting that either requires filler or adding more material via welding.
@@TheImpossiBelle And then, there are plenty of instances in real life, where I, for example, have actually personally found old items in barns with this amount of rust on them, where the rust had initially formed so quickly that it sealed the item inside it, thereby preventing a lot of the pitting. Believe me, there are enough compromised items out there that deserve restoration, that people do not have to fake it. They'd still have to do the same amount of work to restore the piece, anyway - which is really the point. The energy and care of the restorer tells the true tale of their respect for old things, and how satisfying the process is when the restoration is successful. Most restorers would not take the chance of ruining an antique by deliberately compromising it. But, some people are cynical and miserable, and just want to hurt others with a crass comment, like the one above. Being an artist and restorer, I take it a bit personally. It's just too bad that some people aren't happy unless they've spoiled things for others...
This was truly a labor of love ❤️ but so worth it! A working treasure! Above excellence! I enjoyed watching you at your craft! ♥️🇨🇦 22:20
I'm so glad you liked it. Thank you very much.❤❤
I also want to be restored like this 😀
lol.😀😀😀😀I would also want to restore myself :)
It shines just like a mirror and works so well…😊😮
Thank you for watching the video and sharing this valuable comment with me.💙💙
I’m not sure how it could have worked but it did, a very satisfying restoration to watch, and I love your work brother ❤️🌞
My dear brother, this nice comment made me very happy. I'm so glad you like it. Thank you for watching the video.❤️❤️❤️
Love watching the restoration videos. Magnificent!
It's great to see you here. I'm glad you like it.💛💛💛💛
Very nice job restoring the iron. Plus you did it all without "buying" all new pieces. I like that thank you and you have a great day
I'm glad to see you here. I'm so happy that you watched my video and shared your valuable comment with me. Thank you for your like.❤️❤️
Really nice when the original piece are kept on place.
Change something when is necessary, otherwise the original must stay there.
Well done!👏👏👏
Like you, I am in favor of preserving the original parts.Thanks for watching. :)
That old iron looked like it was in the ground because it was encrusted with a lot of dirt or dried-on mud. It looked too far gone to be restored but you got it working again. It looks much better too. Excellent work.
Thanks for your comment.I thought the same when i first see this iron.I wish i could restore its original chrome coating. But it is impossible in a small shop.Thanks for watching.
Congratulations from Brazil! Great job!!
Thank you so much 😀 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Very wonderful work, a big greeting to you from the Kingdom of Morocco.😊😊😊
I'm sending my big love to the Kingdom of Morocco.😊😊😊I'm so glad you liked it. Thank you.🤍🤍
Hats off to your hard work
Thank you very much for this beautiful and valuable comment.🖐️🖐️
very successful project , i appreciated the process of the transformation .Thank you for sharing this video and good luck to your channel.
Отлично. Я даже не поняла сначала, что это утюг!!! Старые, заброшенные вещи обретают новую жизнь, и это здорово.
Я рада, что вам понравилось. Большое спасибо. Я люблю переработку.❤️
Stunning restoration. So glad that you saved the handle. That iron is a work of art!
My mother had an iron like that. It would get extremely hot. She also had an old wringer washer with the laundry tubs for rinsing. Laundry day was not fun.
Such products are considered quite valuable at the moment. I hope you still have them.And I hope you're having fun right now.🖤🖤
I used one of these, but different brand, in the seventies, but heated on the wood stove. That was back in my hippie era. It was nice and heavy, and retained heat well
I think the products from the old years are of better quality. You are lucky if you still have it.❤
You are really smart! Your videos are really entertaining to watch!
I'm so glad you like my video. Thank you.💛💛
I must congratulate you on your enthusiasm and patience 😀.
Thank you very much.
@@AntiqueVintageRestoratioNs 😀.
A fine/ medium sandblaster would do wonders for your restore work. Nice job.
True craftsmanship!
Thank you Cherilyn
So cool!! A ton of work went into this! Great video.
Thank you very much for your kind message. :)
Great work and nice old iron! Enjoying your channel!😀🔧🛠️

your restoration is just A piece of Art !
I am very glad that you like it. Thank you very much for sharing this valuable comment with me.💚💚💚
Ive got those same "dental tools". It was a kit with all sorts of picks and tweezers. Mom got it for me when i was in college of Anthropology and went on an archaeological dig. So handy! Even now, around the house, I use the all the time. Excellent restoration!!!!
It is really useful. I have the set too. I bought it second hand from the antique market. I maintained and cleaned it. It has been 10 years. I could not have thought that they were this functional before I bought them.❤
Great job done 👍 but if you ask me I would say it was also looking awesome in rusty condition with that little plant 🌿😍
LoL. Thanks for watching. ❤️❤️
😳👀😳
You are so talented! I loved watching you transform that iron!! Great job!
I'm so glad you liked it. Thank you very much.❤❤
Отличная работа.Приятно смотреть на работу мастера

Such a great transformation 👏👏
It's so nice to see you here again, you made me very happy, thank you for watching my video.🖤🖤🖤
That might be his best restoration yet. How come you didn’t replace the broken mylar? I believe it could’ve been insulation.
I am glad you liked my video.The new heating element has its insulation inside.(shiny metal part is the heating element). ❤️❤️❤️
Bravo... beautiful work, Thank you
Hi man. I am very happy that you like the video. Thank you very much.💚💚💚

Wow 😮 That is just beautiful!
Hey friend, I'm so glad you like it.💛💛💛💛
Amazing Transformation.
❤❤❤ Thank you Michael .I am so glad you liked it. :)
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I honestly would have chucked it. Do you ever go back to where you find these items to show how great they turned??? All I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!
Before restoring it I was planning to show it to seller but then I changed my mind.(he would charge me more next time).Thanks for watching. :)
@@AntiqueVintageRestoratioNs good point but to be honest even that guy would had to have said it was trash. You did the impossible and I love it. Pieces like that was made to last a lifetime. Now the new stuff is just junk. No one takes pride in what they make unless it is the small business owners that make it by hand. Those are the ones I seek out, sometimes quality is worth the extra price because it will be around a long time instead of a few months.
This iron found the right person to bring it back to life, what a fantastic job.❤
Patricia I am so gload you liked my video.❤❤❤❤

FICOU NOVO PARABENS
I am curious about the layer of mica (looked like glass) that was within the iron. It doesn't seem like you addressed replacing it. It seems it's used because it conducts heat but insulates against electricity. Seems important considering all the metal in the iron. Did you consider replacing it but couldn't find a source?
It seems it's used because it conducts heat but insulates against electricity it is true.The new heating element I installed is a closed one.You can see it at 20:01.Thanks for watching.
@@AntiqueVintageRestoratioNs Got it. Thanks so much for the reply!
I was curious to see the mica replaced and wondered where someone would get such a thing today. Of course much better to have a closed heating element. 😄
綺麗になっていくって気持ちいいですね。また、使うことができるのも最高❤

Good job 👍
I'm so glad you like it. :)
Bei dem Wort Elektrolyse musste ich an Schule denken vor über 40 Jahren...........Prinzip Batterie.......am Ende hätte ich nicht gedacht, dass man das Bügeleisen nochmal so schön blank bekommt.
I thought by myself why bother to waist time on that thing, it's never going to work again.
You proof me wrong , you have a wonderful talent and you must have good knowledge how an iron is put together. Well done!
Many people throw these products away because they think this way. It is proud to see them working after all this effort. It would be a waste of time to struggle for a product whose infrastructure is not of high quality anyway, but if you are sure of its quality, you should never give up. Thank you for watching the video and for this valuable comment. thanks a lot.❤️❤️❤️❤️
You are a GENIUS!!!
Thank you very much. I am trying to do my best according to my knowledge.💜💜
Harika muhteşem geri kazanım eline sağlık❤❤❤

At first I was very scared too, but the result made me very happy. I am glad you like it. Thank you very much.😊
@@AntiqueVintageRestoratioNs Well, you just didn't know how great you are at what you do! It is like when I draw something and once I see the result is very nice, I go like: did I really do that? And You are very welcome, by the way!
Well done
