Restoration: Rusty Giant Advertising Flask and Clock - Old Mr. Boston

Поділитися
Вставка
  • Опубліковано 27 чер 2024
  • Towering at almost two feet tall, this hunk of rusty metal began life as an advertising display and clock, shown off in bars and liquor stores in the years following the repeal of American Prohibition laws.
    Heavily rusted inside and out, with a clock that was also rusted to a standstill and suffering from a broken mainspring, old Mr. Boston had probably given up all hope of ticking with life again, much less receiving a new set of clothes that garnered the looks of admiration that he was used to getting.
    Watch as his old skin is abraded away, new fillers are added, his timepiece is miraculously brought back to life, and his flask home is made beautiful again.
    Featured in this video: bead blasting and rust removal, ultrasonic cleaning, metal filler, powder coating, sign painting, mechanical clock repair and restoration.
    This is a 100% authentic restoration.

    I felt genuinely worried when I saw the clock face, imagining the state of the insides. Then I remembered the precision and care you gave the register and the slot machine, and I relaxed.

    If I may…I’d suggest a collaboration between multiple other UA-cam channels. There are very respected and revered clock restorers. Something like this, it would bring viewers from multiple viewer preferred fields. You’ve done a great job and I must say I didn’t truly recognize the scope of this until you put it in to have the powder coat heat set.

    Excellent job you've done on this, but I can't help thinking conservation not restoration would have been the best route for this job, it had real character in it's worn state. However you did a excellent job on the movement.

    Please sir I implore you to leave the patina and stop covering it up. Make it original. Literally the only thing you're supposed to do. Why yes it does make the piece look new you want it to look as it should if taken care of today. No plaster anymore please. Make it original not new
