Ratchet Corner Brace Restoration

- Welcome to My tiny Workshop
In this video I will be restoring a rusty brace. After a lot of searching I couldn’t find any information on who produced this brace. There was only a stamp that said foreign. This brace is rather unique. Most braces have wooden or plastic handles. However this one was aluminium.
I remember the day I bought this at a local boot sales. The moment I saw it I knew it would be perfect for restoration.
Before my restoration began I had to find a paint that matched the original colour. After browsing all the options on the paragon website I finally found Claret Violet. Although the video makes it look pink, in reality it is a perfect match.
This restoration was rather tedious. Since there were many small pieces I had to sand and polish each piece perfectly. Thankfully the lathe helped out a lot. After polishing I had to protect all my hard work from rusting. I decided to nickel plate all the parts. I spent many hours questioning wether the parts were properly plated. I am pretty certain I have done it properly.
Finally after all the parts were finished I reassembled the drill and placed it it my office where it will live an easy life.
Thank you for stopping by to read and watch this video. I hope you enjoy and subscribe for more.

Awesome resto in general, and that stripe around the chuck really pushed it over the top. Great work!
Thank you. The original had the strip so I just copied that.
What a triumph! Bravo, the end result went far beyond what I was expecting.
Thanks, me too
What a gloriously outrageous colour! Stunning!

I do believe you have the world's largest collection of needle-nose pliers and side cutters....as for the vise-grip monkey wrench...yowzah! Great restoration. Best wishes and be well.
Thank you. I’m rather proud of my little collection.
First class restoration of a rare tool. This looks like a high quality brace, and was well worth the effort. Thanks and regards from USA.
Thank you, glad you like it
Incredible,incredible and incredible...great your restorations...💃💃💃...ole
Thank you
This is nicest magenta ratchet corner brace you will ever see. Coincidentally it will probably be the only magenta ratchet corner brace you will ever see.
Can’t judge these days mate, gotta accept and all that jazz.
Thank you
nice, well done. i don't like the color but anyway, beautiful restoration. use black ; )
Thanks. I used the original colour. On camera it looks pink. In reality it’s purple.
How did you put the jaws back together ?,
Did you use the same bit of wire or new wire, just asking as i have a set of jaws that i need to fix, i only have wire in one jaw and can see where it has broken and missing.
Hi, I used the same wire.
So it looks like im going to need to find some wire the right size, thanks. nice looking ratchet, mines a two handle right angle old style 😎
This is a neat resto. I enjoyed watching that. I dont fancy using that brace or any of it family members as I doubt wether I have that kind of patients :D Thanx for sharing!
Thank you. I’m not using it either. It looks good on the shelf
What power source did you use for the electroplating?
I used a 2.5amp iPad charging block and I cut a usb cable. Simple yet effective. I turned it every 20 mins for an hour.
Well done! Makes me want to fix some old tool too.. 👊
Thank you. Go ahead and just tinker.
Restoration? I couldn't see any problems with the function. In my opinion, that was a job to freshen up the part.
Very nice thanks for posting
Thank you
That's cool bro, love the color
Thank you.
Perfect restoration! Thanks for sharing and regards from Ukraine!
Gar nicht schlecht!!!
Thank you
Very nice!
Thank you
BEAUTIFUL WORK! BRASIL
Thank you
An unusual version of the corner brace.
The color is somewhat unusual, but the restoration quality of this instrument is excellent. An additional plus for nickel plating.
We rarely see the works of "My tiny Workshop", we would like to more often.
Once again, great work.
Thank you, I wish I could upload more frequent. It’s been really hard to upload often and I don’t want to cut on the quality. Hopefully I can produce a bit faster next time.
Отличное восстановление весьма редкого инструмента!
Thank you
Hahaha I panicked a bit when you were removing the handle and feared a rush of tiny ball bearings and was confused at the lack of the little pitter patter sounds.
Then I laughed so hard when an absolute unit of a bearing plopped out when you tilted the handle.
Nice job! I kind of want to find one now so I can put a socket adapter in the jaws.
Haha I’m used to seeing all the small ball bearings. My other brace restoration is like that. It’s nice to see something different.
Great job and that tool is really a piece of collection.... that color ummm i dunno ... :)
Thank you
Beautiful work. Admirable talent and technique. Congratulations!
Thank you
Hi mister very good
Thank you
Absolutely fantastic. Your attention to detail is on another level. Let’s hope ‘The Repair Shop’ doesn’t poach you!!! 💯
Thank you
Very nice job with the nickel plating; I was hoping you would go that route.
Thank you, I couldn’t leave it to rust again. It was screaming for some shiny nickel.
Beautiful result!
Thank you
Super tare

Amazing job
Thank you
Stunning job
Thank you
Why get the metal ultra smooth on the lathe looking beautiful then colour it a hideous colour ? I dont get it ? Great work though ,,,
It was originally painted this colour. The video makes it look pink however it’s the same colour as the original.
Just awful work, please quit. You are wasting your time.
I appreciate constructive criticism. Other than stopping how do you suggest I improve my skills. Thanks.
Funky colour! Great restoration. Never seen a brace like this before. 👌🏽
Thank you
PERFECT restoration!!! I like the red violet too.
Thank you
That turned out awesome! My only complaint would be the color. But perhaps it is not as pink in real life!
I’m surprised how pink it looks on film. In reality it’s a dark purple. Almost perfect match to the original colour.
This is simply a piece of art. All around fantastic work.
Thank you
Fantastic restoration mate looks great the colour suits it really well 👍 😀 👌
Thank you. Glad you like it
Beautiful work; compliments for your art.
Thank you
Well done! Beautiful restoration on a really cool old brace. I’ve never seen one like that now I want one. Take care 😃👍🏼
Thank you. The only other corner brace iv seen is a skinner with wooden handles.
oh yes that's a fantastic renovation greetings 🤘
Thank you.
Excellent restoration, love the colour
Thank you
New again!
