A "not so simple" solution for the simple handle repair, fine job.

thanks for watching😀

My Grandparents had one of those. I hadn't realised how old it was. Great repair.

thanks for watching😀

My guess is the handle was filled with resin to add rigidity in order to keep the handle from bending when the scuttle was loaded down with coal.

[@normmcrae1140]

I expect the resin is more to prevent the tube from collapsing or kinking when it was originally bent - A VERY old technique that is still used VERY often when making brass musical instruments, except in that case, the resin - or pine tar, would be melted out.

A fine and elegant repair that I'm sure the traditional craftsman who made the piece would have respected. And the car was totally a flex, by the way. Carry on!

[@richardrestorations]

Thanks for your feed back cheers Richard 😀

[@oneshotme]

I'm sure you know But the handle is full of pine resin to keep the handle from bending easily
Great restoration and you did a wonderful job restoring it!!
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

@@richardrestorations You're welcome!!

[@normanlongthorp8763]

I wondered if I was for extra stiffness, or was part of the manufacturing process. Silver- and goldsmiths will use pitch to support a piece of holloware that needs to be hammered, either by securing the piece itself in hot pitch and letting it harden or filling the piece with hot pitch so it can be hammered from the outside.

Great job and interesting object 😊

[@richardrestorations]

[@emyrjones2717]

[@richardfoot]

Another excellent restoration

[@PINKWOMAN88]

great work.. it is a very old helmet

[@richardrestorations]

thanks for the encouragement😀

[@LittleRestorers]

Great job. I like how you didn't over clean it. Good tip with the magnet while removing the dints. Wonder about the purpose of the resin in the handle. 👌👍

[@richardrestorations]

The resins is your give the handle strength and not fold when picking up a full bucket of coal 😮

[@pickletreewoodcraft7858]

Wonderful repair I was so relieved when you started adding patina back to it, I just get devastated sometimes when someone pulls out an angle grinder for a historical item and then mirror polishes it, now I’m sure it was smooth and shiny when new but this was too nice to do that with. Oh and I really dig the continental does it still have the original 462? Really is a lovely car.

[@richardrestorations]

Hi pickle tree thanks for watching ,yes I watched a lot of UA-cam videos and realising they're devaluing what they're restoring, but then again some things are so far gone the have to be restored. the lincoln has the 462 still in her ( 7.5 liter motor )

[@JoseContreras-ph6nz]

🙏🤗👍🇻🇪

[@richardrestorations]

thanks for watching😀

[@MrManjaleu]

Everything was good.
Regarding the history of the piece, a concern to keep the shapes and as much original material as possible and the mastery in creating a false patina with the ink of the pen.
CONGRATULATIONS!
p.s: Next time, don't park on top of the bike path, hehe

[@W4iteFlame]

Can someone actually wear it as a helmet?
