Rusty Vintage Pipe Cutter Restoration
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- I found this rusty pipe cutter on eBay whilst searching for a record pipe cutter. Since the design was much nicer than a record pipe cutter I decided to purchase this to restore. This restoration was rather simple. It only took me 2 days to complete.
Before I started the restoration I had to plan what I would do. As I looked at the handle i couldn’t imagine how I could make such a thing look nice. However after cleaning and sand blasting I could tell that a lot of sanding and polishing would work just fine. Thankfully it turned out better than I expected.
I hope you enjoy the restoration and subscribe for more content.
Thanks for watching.

Health and Safety in your workshops please. Bolt down grinding and polishing machines and always use guards. I hope to copy some of the projects this coming winter.
Another great restoration, thanks for sharing. I used these at college when I did plumbing, great bit of kit.
Thanks again. Glad you like the restoration. Thus video was the first time iv used a large pipe cutter. It sure is a great bit of kit
It is, I used to enjoy using the big lads tools, especially cutting threads into the pipes and working with the steel. Good times 👍😎
I have two of these, both were discarded and deemed worthless. After watching your restoration I will have a try. These are a very expensive tool and it will be well worth the time if they can be made like new again!
Cool, good luck with your restoration
Hi bro 👋👋👋 awesome restoration pipe cutter 👍👍👍💣👌🏽
Thanks, glad you like it
Good quality British made tools that will last a lifetime and more.
But could you ever have imagined having a home powder coating kit 20 years ago?
I couldn’t imagine having one 3 months ago. Thanks for watching.
My tiny Workshop no worries.
ironic that many of these restorations couldn't be done without china providing materials
Wow. That looks and works amazingly! Awesome job!
Very nice job.
I restored a much smaller pipe cutter a while ago and had a failure of imagination on how to sharpen the cutting wheel, so did the best I could by hand but it didn't end up quite where I wanted, I'll be taking it out and using this trick to sharpen it properly in the next day or so, thanks!
I’m happy I could help. It works a treat.
It would have been much nicer if makers name was also highlighted
Very clever the way you sharpened the cutter blade. 👍👍👍👍👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
I have the same old pipe cutter in a pile of junk tools. Now I will have to go restore it!
Good luck and enjoy your restoration.
That's wicked cool bro
Thanks, glad you like it
Cool bro, I like the blue. Only thing that I would have done differently would be to paint the letters white or something. Great job man.
good job
Thank you for watching
You should do much more powder-coating, the results are spectacular.
Thank you.
Old british iron of the industrial era. My tiny Workshop shows good taste when choosing objects for restoration.
I envy his collection. And it was nice to see his work.
Thank you very much. This really means a lot. I spend many hours and sometimes drive many miles looking for things to restore. I hope I can continue finding good things. It is getting hard.

Muy buen trabajo has cuidado hasta los mas mínimos detalles. Saludos desde España
Thank you
Fantastic job love the colour thanks for sharing your time and skill. 🍺🍺👍👍👍
Thanks. Glad you like it
Very good Restoration.
I watch these restoration videos with my 6 yr old son while putting him down for bed. Put him right to sleep. He says they are “boring”, but what I think he really means is relaxing 😌- the proof is in the results 😴.. anyway, I enjoy them as well. Great work!
Glad I could help
Nice restoration . Quality tools are always worth the time and effort to restore . I especially liked how you sharpened the cutter , I'm going to do my pizza cutters that way .
Glad I could help.
Awesome job you did restoring that cutter to working order. It looks much better too. Excellent work.
Lovely video
Thank you
Thank you! I'm a plumber and this was kind of like porn for me!
Glad you liked it. Maybe a little too much though.
Τέλεια η επισκευή του κόφτη μεταλλικών σωλήνων μπράβο παιδιά όμως σε φούρνο να μπαίνουν βαφές και μεταλλα είναι καρκινογονα και όταν ψήσετε κανένα φαγητό θα έχετε προβλήματα καλό και πιο ασφαλές θα ήταν να έχετε ένα φουρνακι για εργαστηριακή χρήση μόνο τουλάχιστον δεν θα είναι για μαγειρική μόνο για ζέσταμα μετάλλων και βαφων .
Nice job, looks and works great, superb attention to detail. Fantastic quality British tool 😊😊
Thank you very much. I absolutely love quality British tools.
Very nice job, but bad idea using grease to lubricate. It forms a plaster with the metal debris
Thanks for letting me know
cool vid can I ask what sandblaster do you use, what psi (cfm) does it run at and what do you use in it Thanks joe
Hi I use a Hyundai HY3150S 14cfm, I run it between 60-90 psi. This is the absolute minimum size compressor for sandblasting. I suggest you get the biggest compressor possible. Unfortunately I’m restricted with space. I currently use aluminium oxide as a blast media. I want to give glass bead a try one day. The sand blaster is just a cheap eBay one. I’m slowly modifying it as my needs change. Hope this helps. I really struggled researching all this before buying. I had no clue what I was doing. To an extent I still don’t know.
Nice job.
Some (minor) suggestions for tweaks
* run a tap/die over the threads to clean them up
* paint the lettering in contrast colour (or not, this one is a matter of taste)
Thanks for the tip
It´s a very nice restauration, that tool, it will cut.
What a great result, and good way to sharpen the wheel. I do love the look of castings when they've been sandblasted!
While I'm commenting I thought you should know of this channel that nicked one of your vids, ua-cam.com/channels/5Kmq-6vOUIQQrNSB_cMYhw.html (The old mechanic)
I've reported it but thought you might want to as well! And as the creator I presume your report would carry more weight.
Woooow thank you very much. What a cheek. He’s even taken “my mechanics” videos. Thank you so much for finding and reporting this. I knew someone would copy one day. Didn’t realise it would be this soon.
@@mytinyworkshop1213 Yeah, bloody cheek o' some people right?!
Beautiful work. Very well done MTW! Greetings from Southport.
Thanks again. Glad you like it
Beautiful job looks amazing 👏
Nice work! I really like the 2 tone contrast of the powder coat and the bare metal.
Thank you. I’m glad you like it. I spent ages figuring out if I should paint the handle also. So glad I didn’t
good job please more videos while i love it
I’ll try my best. Thanks for watching
Nicely done, sir. Liked everything about this but would have liked to see the lettering done in white for show purposes.
Fabulous as always. I love relaxing and watching your videos. Thank you.
How hot do you have to bake the powder coating and how long.
It has to cure for 10 minutes at 180c. The part has to be 180c before setting the timer.
Coupoure tré bien 👍👍👍contuni ♥️♥️🇩🇿
very nice. Did you clear coat the bare metal?
Thanks. The metal isn’t coated
Awesome work as always!
Thank you very much.
Proper job👍
Great job. You'll get good use out of that pipe cutter.
Cool
بس بس
Отличная работа, и инструмент нужный!
Успехов в новых проектах, привет из России))

Thank you very much
who wants to see the "after" before the "before"...*
You are exhausting to watch. The whole drama of you showing the pieces that you work on. The taking apart of the pieces, every little thing you do you show over and over (like look I am taking apart this screw and the showing the screw to the camera and then taking out the cutter and showing the cutter to the camera. It’s exhausting. Just get on with it, geez. We can clearly see that you took a screw out and we all know that those are cutter heads and rollers.
Oh yeah I also forgot to say that you sure waste a lot of energy baking the powder coating on one piece at a time. There’s clearly enough room in that oven to have done several pieces, least of all both parts of this restoration.
This is not a restore it is a modification of the original because the original didn't have powder coating, the end result is nice but it's not a restore. Also this tool is not worth the effort. As a new cutter can be purchased for pennies.
As dirty as it was it was still fully functional
Many of these old tools were painted with Lead based paint. Of course you would not, or could not use it now. This gentleman is taking the time and effort to think about this project, video it, edit it, and upload it. It’s all about the restoration, not the cost of a new one, or whether this one still works in its original state. Show some appreciation and try to think a little more before commenting.
@@shanelodge391 you can think all you want the reality is it's not worth the effort when a new tool is just pennies away
@John Harwood your excuse is only an excuse that a moron would use when he has nothing more to say.
Your working restoring junk that is simply not worth the effort.
If you need anything to build your self-esteem, then volunteer at your local mental health clinic.
Henry Gonzalez.
Henry, I think you are really missing the point. Let’s look at this logically. If the gentleman wanted to just cut pipe, he could, as you suggest, go and buy a cheap one and do the job. This is not what it’s about. You can see from his many videos that he takes pleasure from finding old, often broken tools and items and repairing and restoring them to their former self. Many people comment on the therapeutic value of watching these videos.
It’s not about the destination; it’s about the journey.
Try to to think too much about the whys and wherefores. Enjoy the video and respect the man’s passion and patience.
Don’t be a troll. Life’s too short for name calling.
Cheers!
@@shanelodge391 logically just go buy a new one,, spend time with your family and not on things of no value.
