In this video I will be restoring a vintage Wesco oiler. I had no intention of restoring this oiler until I saw how amazing other youtubers restorations turned out. I tried my best to keep the oiler close to original. As I started cleaning I saw residue of the old paint. It looked like a dark copper like paint. I started looking for a match and my first purchase had way too much metallic flake therefore I had to continue my search until I found another paint by rustoleum. It was exactly what Imagined.
I hope you enjoy the video
Thanks for reading and watching.
Very nice restoration. Good idea using recycled leather for the seals.
Thank you, glad you like it.
Very nice RESTORATION.👍
Thank you very much
The copper paint was a nice touch.
Thank you, I’m glad you approve.
perfect :-) subscribed !!!!!
Thank you very much. Glad you liked it and welcome to my channel.
awesome restoration!
I love the fact that you did your homework for the colors.
Plus from a $.50 oil can, to a &5.00 oil can. Sweet.
You deserve more subscribers. 👏
Well done!!!
Thank you
a great restore
Wow 😳 amazing job
Thank you
Wow, that came out really well. Most Westco’s were red but I like your colour choice it really suits it. I have an identical oil can that I bought to restore so you have made me want to get into it. A couple of suggestions, use your punches on a piece of wood and the edge will last a lot longer. Next time you have to solder a joint like that, after you have applied the flux and rejoined the two pieces use some thinners to wipe off the excess flux before soldering and that will stop any extra solder from sticking around the outside of the joint. Might have been good to panel beat the bottom of the can when it was apart. Please don’t take that as criticism as I loved the whole video just some ideas to maybe consider next time. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺
Thanks for the suggestions, glad you liked it
Хорошая работа
Why ruining your pipe punches using metal as bottom surface? Why not try wood, plastic or leather? It will save the pipe punches and it will definitely give you a better result.
Iv learnt my lesson.
Fantastic as always love the colour great job thanks for sharing 👍👍👍👍👍👍🍺🍺
Thank a lot
Is it just me, or is the audio a bit off?
Thanks for letting me know. I didn’t hear any problems, is it throughout the whole video.
My tiny Workshop the sound is good up until you make the gaskets. Then it is ahead of the action.
Thanks, I’m not actually sure how to sort this problem. If I watch it on my phone I can clearly hear the problem. However on my pc it’s perfect.
@@mytinyworkshop1213 Just has to be a glitch in teh system when uploading. Still watchable though. I have watched it on my laptop and my phone and it is there. , but if you are watching the original on your phone, and no problem, it shws a glitch when upload happened.
Yeh it is some sort off glitch. I watch the video multiple times before uploading and no issue. Its actually quite annoying. I’ll try figure out what is causing this in order to prevent it next time.
What a delightful restoration..superb choice in finishing colour too.
Thank you very much. I struggled with many colours until I found this one.
Hi bro 👋👋👋 very very good restoration Oiler 👍👍👍 good video 👍 good project 👍 good to see you 🤝🤝🤝
Hey bro, I’m glad you liked it. Nice to see you too
Nice job, I really like the copper color!
Where did you get the scotch brite pads for the grinder? First time I've seen them, but I really like them!
Keep up the great work!
Thanks, glad you liked it. I just cut standard scotch brite pads it fit the grinder.
Nice vid and a sub from me. Just recently picked up a wesco oil can. Can't wait to get stuck in. I just did my first restoration video on a parkinsons vise a few weeks back. Check it out.
Thanks for subscribing. I’ll check you vid out.

Wow speechless. I still have a long way to go.
Great restoration! Glad to see it!
Thank you
Do you ever anneal the metals you use? Then, heat/cool them for hardening?
The bearing is supposed to be at the bottom of the brass tube with the spring on it. It is a one way valve. Looks like it has been repaired a couple of times in its past. The top brass tube is supposed to come out, but it is soldered in.
Commented too soon. lol. I see you sorted the ball and spring out. That colour suits it. Well done.
I’m glad you like the colour. I couldn’t paint it some generic rainbow colour.
Fantastic project and video thanks for sharing
It seems that wrench could be used as a handheld mini vise, I havn't seen anything like that before. Could you provide some information about it? Thanks in advance.
That wrench is amazing.
I found it at a boot sale at the bottom of a rusty tool bin. Paid £3. It has a really tight grip. I sadly don’t have any more information on it.
Wow MTW, A very nice job.. I'd keep that one for the shop...
Most definitely. My intention was to just clean and use it. Then the lightbulb came on to film a proper restoration.
@@mytinyworkshop1213 good choice... Where r you located? I wish I had a world map so I could keep track of all the people I had talked to all over the world.. Have a great day and God Bless you and your family.. If u are in the USA, have a wonderful Thanksgiving...
Very Nice👍👍👍
Thank you

Enjoyed your video and gave it a Thumbs Up
Thank you
What a beautiful transformation!
Thank you very much, I’m glad you liked it
It was much better than before but I miss the bare metal :'( instead of the paint
Thank you, I was considering bare metal but copper was just screaming out to me
Nice job sir. Good choice of color.
Subscribed after watching.
Maybe you can show single sequences a bit longer, no need to rush from one step to the other.
👍👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you
Nice work but a horrible color
Excelente restauracio me gusto el color que le distes. Saludos desde El Salvador
Thank you
It was only dirty.
Great restoration, especially the re-soldering!
Thank you, I’m glad you liked it. Iv finally learnt to solder.
Perfect, well done and the greetings from Holland 😀😀👍👍
Nice job! Enjoyed watching
Glad you liked it, thanks
The colour is a desaster.
I do not agree, the copper color gives rather well, but it would have more beautiful a metalization and not a painting.
Otherwise very beautiful restoration
Nicely done, keep it up. I love the videos.
Thanks, glad you like it
I like your tiny workshop ❤
Thank you very much. It’s a pretty cool workshop.
Frikkin fantastic restoration! Wow.

Thank you Anielle I’m glad you like it.

Thank you
It turned out well, beautiful.
Renovation great, but the color adjustment I do not personally suit
Thanks glad you like the project
Those rivets are ugly, and your soldering needs practise. Otherwise, nice job.
Неуёво.
