Hey guys, I hope you liked the video! I also have Instagram, Patreon and Facebook. Here are the links: instagram.com/hutofhandcraft www.patreon.com/DrHutofHandcraft fb.me/HutOfHandcraft
Nice work! You made an old guy happy. I worked on underground water mains and we used open ratchets like this. Very heavy duty and easy to clean the dirt and mud off of. Hose it off, blow it down with compressed air and spray it with WD40. I believe these are still made for the underground utility trades. Thanks
i like the sound of ratchets... and the older ratchet it has a sound of wisdom to my ears... its reminds me that there is always a tool to do the job inside ur garage.
I do restoration work as a hobby and it’s always great to watch your videos, not only to enjoy your working, but also to improve my own skills. I’m also a chemistry teacher and, unless it’s already been commented, the metal ion flame test you did shows either a strontium or lithium salt present to produce the red flame (calcium would produce an orange-red flame). It’s a great visual demonstration to do to show metal ion colours by adding a splash of alcohol to a solution of the metal salt then spraying into a clean flame. Keep it up!
Anyone else get close to the end and think, "man I'd really love to see this in action"? AND THEN AT 16:29, HE DELIVERS!! 100% satisfaction, lol. Bravo on a job well done!
I would like to take a second to appreciate the fact that you gave this ratchet a very classy/functional matte brushed finish...instead of a ridiculous mirror polish (like 90% of the other tool restoration videos on UA-cam). Outstanding job.
I am currently experimenting with some different substances, nothing special, I am doing it just for fun when I have time for it. As soon as I find the best one I will let you know. 🙂
Wow...juggling between study, work and making content. Gotta say you have a bright future friend. Wish you all the best. Thank you for sharing this restoration project. Beautifull old iron I must say
Thank you! It’s one way to do bluing on steel, in that case “cold bluing”. It reacts with the steel and creates an oxide layer on it which protects it from corrosion
Wonderful! I have a few specific items to praise. First, thank you for using electrolysis for rust removal. It is the least expensive and least invasive rust-removal technique there is, leaving the original metal as intact as possible. Second, it was wonderful to see a restoration in which the tool wasn't tortured with the lazy man's approach of using a grinder or sandblasting, both of which harm the tool's original surface, requiring more time and resulting in unnecessary removal of good metal. The way you did the restoration preserved absolutely as much of the original metal as possible. Finally, a comment on the tool itself: What a great design, doing without a forward-reverse switch and all its attendant potential problems. The one-way rotation of the ratchet is a much simpler and trouble-free design. Overall, great job on a nice tool!
Pretty cool hobby to get into. I've always loved old tools even though they don't have practical uses in todays industry. Atleast they were meant to be serviced. Maybe one day they will make a return. Great job.
@@DrHutOfHandcraftIch frug deshalb nach der Ratsche...weil es sich wahrscheinlich um die älteste Ratschenausführung überhaupt handelt!Die Ratsche ist geschichtlich im Amerikanischen Bürgerkrieg 1863 zum ersten Mal erwähnt worden!Der Ratschenmechanismus befand sich da zu jener Zeit zwischen einer Gabelaufnahme!So wie bei Ihrer Ratsche hier!Deshalb sehr interessant was Sie da für ein Werkzeug haben!
@@Werkzeugsammler Das ist super interessant, vielen Dank dass Sie das mit mir geteilt haben! Wenn Ihnen die Ausführung dieser Ratsche gefällt, dann gibt es demnächst vielleicht eine "Überraschung" auf dem Kanal 😄
Ja natürlich gefällt mir die Ausführung dieser Ratsche!Da ich ja auch 1/2"Ratschen sammle!So eine alte Ausführung habe ich leider nicht...oder noch nicht!Ich habe noch einmal nachgeschaut in einer Zeitschrift "Oldtimer Traktor"Ausgabe 10/2018 dort gibt es eine Rubrik "Werkzeugkiste"Es ging um das Thema Ratschen!Dort steht:"Der Erfinder der Ratsche ist ein J.J.Richardson aus Woodstock,Vermont,seine "Ratchet Wrench"erhielt am 16.Juni 1863 die US Patentnummer 38,914 und darf als Urahn aller heutigen Knarren gelten!Es war eine Umsteckknarre ähnlich der heutigen-mit dem Unterschied das sich Zahnrad und Raste aussen am Knarrenkopf befanden,zwischen einer Gabelaufnahme."(Auszug aus Oldtimer Traktor,Seite 38,Ausgabe 10/2018)Wer der Hersteller ihrer Ratsche ist..und aus welchemLand sie stammt...das wissen vielleicht nur Sie?!Fakt ist aber das es sich nachweislich um die älteste Ausführung der Ratsche als Schraubwerkzeug überhaupt handelt!Ein schönes Stück Werkzeug-Geschichte!

Nice work on the restoration. So this is circa 1920s? Wonder who the maker was for it and the socket too. Looking at the ratcheting mechanism, it looks indestructible.
Thank you! I would also like to know, unfortunately I couldn’t figure that out. The ratchet is way older than the socket. The socket was made in the GDR. It says “Smalcalda” on the socket which refers to the city Schmalkalden in former East Germany. I just restored them together because I bought them together. The ratchet is from the 1920s yes, at least that is what I was told by several different people who know a lot about antique tools.
Nice job on the restoration, Doc! I don't think it looked that good when it was new. And thank you for not over restoring it so you can't actually use it because "it's just too nice." 😁👍
Love this tool !!! My Father would have a fit if he was still alive today. I thank you for sharing this Video. This is so amazing. Thank you again. Stay Safe.
@@DrHutOfHandcraft Thank you. We lost Dad in 1999 to cancer. An 2 years later we Lost Mom. The one good thing that happened. My Parents had all 7 of their Kids together.

Hallo (ich gehe mal davon aus dass Sie Deutsch können), Super Video! Was ich als Vorschlag abgeben möchte: Wenn man zum Aufdrehen einer Schlitzschraube einen keilförmigen Schlitzschraubenddreher (wie im Video) verwendet, kann dies die Schraube beschädigen, da die Auflagefläche zwischen Schraubendreher und Schlitzschraube nur sehr punktuell ist. Es gibt Schraubendreher, die an der Spitze rechtwinklig sind und somit eine größere Auflagefläche an der Schraube haben. Hat ja aber auch so funktioniert. :)
Dankeschön! 🙂 Ja da hast du recht, allerdings habe ich keine Schraubendreher mit paralleler Spitze und ich mag meine Schraubendreher wirklich sehr gerne wegen dem Soft finish (Wiha). Welche Schraubendreher mit paralleler Spitze könntest du mir denn empfehlen? Soweit ich weiß haben das die PB Swiss tools und Wera, allerdings bin ich nicht so ein Fan von Wera..
@@DrHutOfHandcraft Ich persönlich besitze Schraubendreher mit paraeller Spitze von Bosch Professional und bin zufrieden. Zugegeben ich benutze sie auch wirklich nur für Schlitzschrauben. Für alles andere sind mir die keilförmigen Schraubendreher auch am liebsten. :)
Cool video man, they don’t make things like they used to !! Some of the Rubbish I’ve bought in the past doesn’t last two minutes, that ratchet will last you a lifetime ! Great video and thanks for sharing 👍👍😀
Awesome video as s as always and happy to have Mr. Patina in the mix! Question: In this video, you used two different processes for rust removal (Electrolysis and acid): How do you decide when to use which? 🤔
Thank you Nico! Good question. In this case it’s not very exciting, it was just because I didn’t have enough acetic acid to fill the box with it. But there are some things to consider when deciding which method you use. When I make a second channel one day I will make a whole video on that!
@@nicovandyk3856 I personally prefer hot bluing rather than cold bluing because it’s cheaper, eco friendly and a lot faster. But cold bluing is good for bigger parts , on which you can’t (or at least I can’t because I don’t have a powerful burner) achieve an equal temperature everywhere on that part. I also use it on heat treated and hardened parts and thin sheet metal, since hot bluing could damage the heat treatment and bring sheet metal out of it’s form.
@@DrHutOfHandcraft thank you soo much for your response: That makes soo much sense (Almost embarrassed that I could not figure that one out for myself). Keep well!!!
@@nicovandyk3856 You are very welcome and thank you for your support! No reason to be embarrassed, I also had to learn this stuff somehow, since I am not a mechanic (this stuff is only a hobby for me and not my job) and come from a completely other work field and I still have a lot to learn! 😄

i am not trying ot rag on you.. but i see this in SOO many videos.. @ 1:07 you are using the open end wrench backwards. high torque in this direction will make the mouth expand on the wrench and open up making it slip
Hey, thank you for your comment! I used the open end because it is better for filming, normally I use the ring side. And btw the torque definitely wasn’t high enough to expand the mouth, at least in this case
Very impressive job, sir. Love this ratchet ! I am really impressed! I know you're good at it, I didn't expect that! ! I think a brass wear sleeve would have tightened up the slop. And would have looked awesome!
I like the black wheel shine. I've never seen a ratchet that looked like that, where the center drive pulls out. Looks like a nice useable ratchet . I don't know how it compares to modern ratchet. or ones from the 1970's or 1980's. My favorite 1/2 " drive ratchet is a Stanley pro. easy to change directions , from the way they built the thing you push
Thank you very much! Close, it was Strontiumcarbonate, but you are right, Strontium is the component that makes the flames red. Strontium chloride would make it red too 😄🙏🏼
I plan on subbing directly after making this comment but this is awesome! I’m not sure if I’m the only one but if you were to learn clocksmithing and do some restoration that would be fantastic! My grandfather was a clock smith for the better part of 50 years and now my dad has taken it over. One day I will too. Look forward to watching more videos!
Thank you for your support! I actually did some minor stuff on clocks before, but just for my own ones or for friends/family. Maybe one day I will try a whole restoration on one 🙂
I like how you did'it , well done. Final result is amazing ,you're good ,really good but why so few posts, something is missing to increase the number of views and subscribers. 👍👍👌👌❤❤❤🙏🙏
Hey mate, thank you for your comment, I really appreciate it! Well yes I am trying to increase the number of videos, but I am doing this while going to the university and work, so it is pretty hard to upload more videos. And of course I want to present good content, not some stuff I just worked a couple of hours on.
@@DrHutOfHandcraft If you continue to produce more content with interesting items I guarantee that your channel will spread like wildfire. You, are good. Very good. Take it from a restorer and restoration channel critic. Best!
@@terryegan3831 Thank you very much for your kind words mate, it really means a lot to me! I will try my best, but like I said, there is work, university and much more 😅
A really nice video of a really nice restoration! Just two little things: 1. the ratchet has a lot of play, maybe it would have been a good idea to turn the head (or what it´s called) a little smaller and make bushings for it. 2. the christmas music at the end (carol of the bells) is a little bit strange for a video postet on march 12th. ;o) Anyways, you´ve got one new subscriber!
Hey mate, thank you for your comment and support, I really appreciate it! You’re right, the ratchet has some play, but it had the play before and I didn’t think of the solution you suggested.. I will definitely consider that in the future! You are not the first one to mention the christmas music 😅 I really didn’t know that it is a christmas song, because it’s not that popular in germany, I just thought it’s nice 😄 Thanks again! 🙏🏼
Awesome, 👍🏼 Now im intrigued and can't wait to restore or build something else, thanks and great job,another piece of history saved from the landfill 👌🏼
@@DrHutOfHandcraftrestoring something that old is great, especially when it comes out that good. I love restoring old tools as well. Especially H.K.Porter bolt cutters that are 116 years old that were made in 1906 In Boston, Massachusetts. That would make them 4 years older than my dad who was one of their machinists in the late 1950s to 1978 at that plant. I have over 20 different tools made their.
@@DrHutOfHandcraft yes I do. I will post on my Instagram page. Watch out for the bolt cutters from the 1950s though one could could give you a work out lifting and the smaller one can "handle" 20,000 volts!
When he said dont try this at home, I followed the rules. Tried it when i was 12 in a camping trip with a lighter and some off, my cousin got a lit haircut
So the GDR nut on the ratchet would have to be made after 1980 because of the EVP imprint. The ratchet itself looks like a no-name (maybe Matador?) Tool kit from the 1930s. Was included with many cars at the time.
I will do some research on the ratchet based on your information. But as far as I know the ratchet was used in construction works and some friends told me that it was build in 1910-1920 (estimated)

Was ich als Vorschlag abgeben möchte: Wenn man zum Aufdrehen einer Schlitzschraube einen keilförmigen Schlitzschraubenddreher (wie im Video) verwendet, kann dies die Schraube beschädigen, da die Auflagefläche zwischen Schraubendreher und Schlitzschraube nur sehr punktuell ist.

Very impressive job, sir. Love this ratchet ! I am really impressed! I know you're good at it, I didn't expect that! ! I think a brass wear sleeve would have tightened up the slop. And would have looked awesome!
Yes that would’ve been a good idea! I’ll remember it for the next time! Thanks a lot!
Very enjoyable Doc.
Thank you Dave!
I like the black wheel shine.
I've never seen a ratchet that looked like that, where the center drive pulls out.
Looks like a nice useable ratchet . I don't know how it compares to modern ratchet.
or ones from the 1970's or 1980's. My favorite 1/2 " drive ratchet is a Stanley pro.
easy to change directions , from the way they built the thing you push
Thank you very much for your comment!
Que es el quimico que le echa para q se haga oscura la pieza???
Cold Bluing
Nice job, as usual 👍
Strontium chloride for the red flame? (Ok, I googled it 😋)
Thank you very much!
Close, it was Strontiumcarbonate, but you are right, Strontium is the component that makes the flames red. Strontium chloride would make it red too 😄🙏🏼
Lithium salts will too but it will be reddish pink
Fabulous! You won a suscriber!
Thank you so much for your support!
You should’ve cut a bit out of a cheap paint scraper to replace that pitted part but great job anyway.
Thank you for your comment! I actually made a new part but then decided to keep the old one to keep it’s character.
That is beautiful work. I admire your dedication, sir. Well done!
Much appreciated, thank you!
Awesome video. Love the finished product! 👍🏻😊
Thanks a lot!
Beautiful. Restoration
Thank you!
Very nice job on that one 👍also I really liked all the lathe work. Turned out absolutely amazing.
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it!
Good job! I did surpresided with result. Congratulations!
Thank you! 🙏🏼
Excellent restoration. Love this stuff!!
Thank you!
This one was an easy one. Great work
Thanks 🙏🏼
I plan on subbing directly after making this comment but this is awesome! I’m not sure if I’m the only one but if you were to learn clocksmithing and do some restoration that would be fantastic! My grandfather was a clock smith for the better part of 50 years and now my dad has taken it over. One day I will too. Look forward to watching more videos!
Thank you for your support! I actually did some minor stuff on clocks before, but just for my own ones or for friends/family. Maybe one day I will try a whole restoration on one 🙂
That's awesomeness
Thank you so much !
I like how you did'it , well done. Final result is amazing ,you're good ,really good but why so few posts, something is missing to increase the number of views and subscribers. 👍👍👌👌❤❤❤🙏🙏
Hey mate, thank you for your comment, I really appreciate it! Well yes I am trying to increase the number of videos, but I am doing this while going to the university and work, so it is pretty hard to upload more videos. And of course I want to present good content, not some stuff I just worked a couple of hours on.
@@DrHutOfHandcraft You're right, now I understand you ,what can I say...do the right things !!!
@@johnconnor555 I will try my best to produce more content! Thank you for your support!
@@DrHutOfHandcraft If you continue to produce more content with interesting items I guarantee that your channel will spread like wildfire. You, are good. Very good. Take it from a restorer and restoration channel critic. Best!
@@terryegan3831 Thank you very much for your kind words mate, it really means a lot to me!
I will try my best, but like I said, there is work, university and much more 😅
A really nice video of a really nice restoration! Just two little things: 1. the ratchet has a lot of play, maybe it would have been a good idea to turn the head (or what it´s called) a little smaller and make bushings for it. 2. the christmas music at the end (carol of the bells) is a little bit strange for a video postet on march 12th. ;o)
Anyways, you´ve got one new subscriber!
Hey mate, thank you for your comment and support, I really appreciate it!
You’re right, the ratchet has some play, but it had the play before and I didn’t think of the solution you suggested.. I will definitely consider that in the future!
You are not the first one to mention the christmas music 😅 I really didn’t know that it is a christmas song, because it’s not that popular in germany, I just thought it’s nice 😄 Thanks again! 🙏🏼
Awesome, 👍🏼
Now im intrigued and can't wait to restore or build something else, thanks and great job,another piece of history saved from the landfill 👌🏼
Thank you very much!
NOICE!
😄🙏🏼
what this magic potion to loosen the rusty screws might be?
I was and am still experimenting with some different stuff. As soon as I have time I will continue and let you guys know :)
@@DrHutOfHandcraft thank you
Make a video then
@@kris856 I upload every for weeks. I just recently uploaded one. Next one will cone next week 🙂
Gee. Its a mystery
Você é muito bom, parabéns 👏👏👏🇧🇷
🙏🏼🙏🏼
I too love old tools and I really enjoyed your new love and she's a real Beauty now~!!
New Sub also cause I enjoy new love stories~! 😁👌✌
Thank you very much for your support!
I did look it up after but my guess was lithium
Lithium is correct, but that’s not what I used. That is the other correct answer I mentioned 😄
Wonderful Restoration
Thank you! 🙏🏼
@@DrHutOfHandcraftrestoring something that old is great, especially when it comes out that good. I love restoring old tools as well. Especially H.K.Porter bolt cutters that are 116 years old that were made in 1906 In Boston, Massachusetts. That would make them 4 years older than my dad who was one of their machinists in the late 1950s to 1978 at that plant. I have over 20 different tools made their.
@@stephenkent8903 very interesting, do you have any pictures? I would love to see them!
@@DrHutOfHandcraft yes I do. I will post on my Instagram page. Watch out for the bolt cutters from the 1950s though one could could give you a work out lifting and the smaller one can "handle" 20,000 volts!
@@stephenkent8903 I will check them out 😄
Gostei muito 👏👏👏
🇧🇷
Obrigado 🙏🏼
Beautiful restoration 🎉🎉
Thank you!
When he said dont try this at home, I followed the rules. Tried it when i was 12 in a camping trip with a lighter and some off, my cousin got a lit haircut
Oh wow 😅😅
So the GDR nut on the ratchet would have to be made after 1980 because of the EVP imprint. The ratchet itself looks like a no-name (maybe Matador?) Tool kit from the 1930s. Was included with many cars at the time.
I will do some research on the ratchet based on your information. But as far as I know the ratchet was used in construction works and some friends told me that it was build in 1910-1920 (estimated)
