@@brenomah why would he need to say it if he didn’t? It isn’t like anybody else’s videos even mention the idea, so he isn’t trying to keep up with anybody else.
Great work! Just a quick note- looks like you used plumber's PTFE tape on the gas jet. For future products using gas fuel, I recommend you use the gas-rated PTFE. It's typically pale yellow in a yellow spool instead of white tape in a blue spool. It's rated for higher temperatures (and is a little thicker) so won't break down if that gas jet pipe heats up.
He also did not grease the carrot valve. The grease acts as a seal to keep the gas inside the valve. This is why they bind up or leak. They must be greased yearly.
Except for the fact that powder coat is essentially plastic that will melt when heated. It’s super unfortunate the essence of the piece is destroyed to make it pretty
It is so enjoyable to watch a skilled artisan fix something like this. And he has all the needed tools too which helps. Thank you for this great video.
I've restored 1800's fire alarm boxes and bells for years. The mechanisms are basically brass telegraphs with watch-like workings. Very complex to restore. However, this commitment to the stainless flame-trap burners is another level lol! Great work, thanks for sharing !
@@escapetherace1943 that’s partially by design. Things need to be somewhat cost effective and easy to ship like Ikea furniture. The market usually allows for all kinds of varying degrees of quality vs quantity items. But people will still bitch about it all day long. If it’s not chintzy cheap crap, then it’s way too expensive. Waaaah! Develop some premium consumer goods and see how far you get…
What a beautiful little heater! It looks to be very efficiently designed, as well. I can't help but wonder how well it put out heat. I can certainly imagine keeping a pot of hot water on top for tea. Such wonderful dedication to it's painstaking restoration, too. I feel it's likely to look even better than when it was brand new.
The end where you lit all those brand new stainless steel rods that you made…WOW! What a beautiful heater! Your work is outstanding! so precise and patient!
They sure knew how to blend beauty and efficiency back then. I can just imagine the warm glow of this little gem late in the evening when all was dimmed.
There are allot restorers on youtube who fake/pretend or do not have skill. But you are one of the few who really does a great job! Not only going for the end result, but also knows how to apply sertain techniques and is responsible with it as well! Well done indeed👍
You are MY kind of man. A talented engineer with precision and care. I hope you continue to restore things and stop the waste on this planet. Lots of love from an Old Lady.
no cabe duda que las cosas de antes tenían espíritu, por eso eran ejemplo de arte, estaban hechas con pasión y dedicación, tal como tu restauración...felicitaciones y saludos desde Argentina!
What an excellent restoration, I sometimes get bored watching resto jobs but this one kept my attention all the way. The manufacturer of the heating elements, although technology aided, showed a great skill level. I would be proud to own a little gas heater like this one. Well done.
that would be 光明 then, however nowadays usually it would be written koumyou or kōmyō. Leaving out the u or using "o" instead of "ō" is just laziness and can lead to misunderstandings, only among the crowd who can actually tell the difference though.
This man is incredible! The patience, the knowledge, the absolute craftsmanship is amazing. I always enjoy watching his videos, they are so well done and interesting.
You sir, are a genius, an artist, and a true gift to humanity! I have always prided myself on my ability to repair just about anything, especially restoring antiques. I salute you on bended knee.
Вот это настоящия реставрация и ремонт, а то некоторые ради контента берут шорошию вещь почкают, а потом делают вид что востанавливают! Браво мастеру 👏🏻👍🏼
Definitely, one of my favorite pieces to date. I like when you get to use all of your tools around the shop, it makes the restoration more beautifully complex.
by todays standards, that looks dangerous as hell, but to me, it looks...oddly soothing....would make for some great photography in a dark room...great job, friend :D
Hell you should have seen what we had for a bathroom heater at my grandparents cabin in Ruidoso NM growing up. I think they banned them back in late 80's cause of fire risk yet damn things would heat up the bathroom quick. Gas and you lit it with a match. Better light the match before you hit the gas knob else you might lose some eyebrows. Don't ask how I know that one.
Wunderschön! Es ist jedes Mal ein Fest Ihnen bei der Arbeit zuzusehen und die Resultate zu bewundern. Als Sie begonnen haben den ersten der 8 Kamine anzufertigen dachte ich noch er wird doch nicht alle selber herstellen... Aber doch! Wirklich wundervolle Arbeit!
I continue to be amazed at what you can do, Nicolas. I wouldn't even know where to start with half of the stuff you do. And when you make your own parts, like the heating elements, or on other projects your own screws? I'm just astounded by how much skill and knowledge you have!
You did a lovely job on this piece! Especially on those little diffuser things. That looked like a lot of trouble, but you managed to make it look easy.
Wow, watching the restoration process of a unique 1924 gas heater was truly fascinating! It's amazing to see how to bring this piece of history back to life. I'm in awe of the attention to detail and the dedication that went into restoring such a special piece. Great job to everyone involved in the restoration process! Thank you from Qatar 🇶🇦 🇶🇦 🇶🇦

Wow, what an awesome little heater. Great job on the restoration. If I saw something like this available for purchase today, I'd probably consider buying one based solely on the looks.
4 days of work for the heating elements?! Good lord! Incredible dedication and perseverance!! Gorgeous work!
That was so much work, especially without specialized machinery. But it did turn out beautifull!
Thanks, it was worth it 😅👍
@@OldThingsNeverDie- Wow 4 days of hard work! I would have sent the design to be laser cut or cut with a water jet.
Four days of work for the coils! I can almost guarantee you did two a day and you had to push yourself for each of them, which turned out amazing!
If it were me, I would have spent three weeks designing a jig to bend the new heating elements for me to save time XD
I am speachless! What a great job! Amazing what you did on the stainless diffusers!
Indeed. I was under the impression he would do one by hand to test and the rest on a CNC.
I actually thought they were ceramic and to begin with I thought the small sheet was going to replace everything as a more efficient version. Then it was bent round the stick and I realised what was happening! 👏
That's adorable. The 1920s had so much craftsmanship. Beautiful restoration too!!!

When I figured out how you were going to refit those heating elements, I instantly had a headache.

Yeah I cringed when I saw that. All that work and they put plumbers tape on the end?
Imagine the fire brigade being called to a suspicious death or house explosion and they find a century old gas heater as the culprit.

Magnificent restauration! Looks so beautiful. I love old things like that. They sure don't make things like they used to.

The heating elements/diffusers look ✨🤌✨ your work paid off.
Your restorations awe me - so meticulous and unhurried, and all your equipment so exquisitely clean! A pleasure to watch.
The work put into those elements was worth it when the flames were lit. That was gorgeous!
Beautiful. The design of these older items was amazing.
