    I especially like the hot bluing. But over all, this rebuild was "NO B.S." and a THUN of FUN.

    • @MaximRecoil
      @MaximRecoil 4 роки тому +2

      He didn't do any hot bluing in this video, nor has he ever in any video. He does oil blackening, which is the same type of finish that builds up on a well-used cast iron frying pan, i.e., carbonized oil. Bluing is black iron oxide (which has nothing in common with carbonized oil, aside from the color), which is why it's also known as a black oxide finish. "Hot bluing" is a real term, and it's also known as "hot salt bluing," and it's far more of a hassle to do than dunking hot steel into oil. A simpler method of bluing is "rust bluing", where you let the steel develop a coating of surface rust (red rust), then you boil it in water to convert the red iron oxide to black iron oxide, and you card off the excess with a wire wheel. You repeat the process until it's as black as you want it. It doesn't require the highly caustic salts and delicate procedure that hot bluing does, but it's more time consuming. It's the original method of bluing.
      "Cold bluing" isn't actually bluing either. It's selenium dioxide, and unlike real bluing, it offers little to no protection against rust and it wears off easily.

      Do you see this vice? I love this vice. It holds things admirably. When the sun shines on it, the paint glimmers beautifully. When I turn the handle, it moves smoothly. Yet for me, this vice is already broken. When the handle bends and the paint is badly scraped and the screw threads are ruined, I say, ‘Of course.’ But when I understand that this vice is already broken, every minute with it is precious. Likewise remind yourself that you love what is mortal; that you love what is not your own. It is allowed you for the present, not irrevocably, nor forever; but as a fig, or a bunch of grapes, in the appointed season.

    We live in the same country, but not in the same world. When I lend a tool to my friends, it leaves in perfect condition and it returns broken after a rapid destruction. The video of my ’my mechanics’ ’, but backwards…
    Seriously, congratulations on your work, it is magnificent, of exemplary quality and of a magnificent finish. This gives us, humble handymen, the example, the desire and the goal to achieve for our work. And even if we don't get to the top of the mountain, we will end up reaching the top of a hill. Thanks for that.

    Very nice . Hard to tell that the finished product didn't just come out of the factory packaging. If l may share a trick l use on gun parts - on parts like the jaw plates , place them in boiling water for a few minutes. This will expand the pores in the metal . When you take each part out of the water it should dry itself just from the retained heat . When dry but still hot apply the cold blue , then oil . l find that this seems to give a sturdier coating as it penetrates a little deeper . Stay safe .
