Antique Blowtorch Restoration and Test
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 жов 2024
- This gasoline blowtorch was found at a flea market. I didn't go for a polished and shiny restoration, as it wouldn't fit the multitude of scratches and dents. I chose to polish parts by hand, to save some of the patina and have an authentic aspect :)
Very Nice ! like very much bronze restorations.
I really enjoy your restorations. I subbed your channel because you don’t use power tools for filing or sanding. All filing and sanding is done by hand. That is a true restoration and show of craftsmanship. I would only ask you to show more sanding / filing at normal video speed. It’s part of the restoration and adding a couple min to the video is ok. I look forward to the rest of your content. Thank you.
Good restoration, and I like the roughed look - it's not always the right thing to go for a mirror polished look. 👍👍👍
Hi FT👋👋👋 good to see you 🤝🤝🤝 very good restoration blowtorch 👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥 good job 👍
Hi now this was interesting to me because I have a bunsun blow lamp like this, maybe not the same model but brass with the pump on the side that was my father’s. now I was looking to do something like this but didn’t know where to get parts like gaskets can you point me in a direction thanks
Got my sub, keep up the excellent work 👍
Excellent work👍👍👍. Thanks for sharing
Wonder if that screw would have broken if it were lubricated first and allowed to sit a while before trying to take it out? Always worth a try. Good video, Thanks!
I think that the strong heating of that place would help the screw stay intact. Or good lubrication
Cool restoration!! 🙂✌️
I use a cleaner called MAAS is amazing I’ve only just got hold of some , I valet vintage watches . Great job by the way
I liked this recovery
Very good restauration, beautiful.
What material did you use to replace the wick (10:40) ?
Thank you ! As much as I remember, it is a standard oil lamp wick that you can find on amazon, just matched the original diameter
Awsome work!
Nice restoration, have a look at my blow torch and give me some feed back. Thank you
I think it is supposed to use white gas-which is naptha or camping fuel-less explosive than gasoline-also pre-heat by dumping fuel looks dangerous-we had one that works without preheat-it just sputters a bit until it warms up
Hello, I think the translation is the issue, the type of fuel used is called "essence C" in french, petrol based and it is commonly used in petrol lamps, I forget to mention that the preheat fuel was alcohol. I'm also not planning to fire it up again for the moment :)
Mince, pas de génie dans la lampe ;)
Très belle restauration.
ive got one. all it needs is a new leather piece.
Craftsman!!
Realmente no es una restauración, es una limpieza general, no uso ningún medio químico ni mecánico para pulir, no pulio la manija de baquelita, no mejoró el parche, una buena opción. Es usa partes iguales de sal, vinagre y harina para limpiar el.bronce, tienes que mejorar
That tank is compromised with that solder repair. Heat plus pressurized fuel is a recipe for disaster for any possible leaks.
The solder is the safety valve, it holds a brass needle attached to the bottom of the tank, it melt and releases pressure in case of overheat, or break in case of overpressure. I was also worried, but I found out that this was the pre-1940s safety system for this model :)
Bonne restauration, mais j’aimerais voir plus de finition!. Équipe toi d’une meule de polissage ça urge...👍
How many videos did you watch to find out how to wick this up 😂
It is a good restoration but not perfect.

You restored its function but not its beauty.
