Просмотров 2,7 тыс.Год назад

Gerstner Plunger Pin Install
Просмотров 2 тыс.2 года назад
A brief demonstration of inserting the plunger pin. Position chest upright and place one of the stainless steel washers over the bottom hole in the front rail. Using a pair of needle-nose pliers, push the end of the pin through the bottom washer and release it through the top hole. This can be a bit awkward and challenging so several attempts might be necessary.

    Is that a cup stain on the lid? I would kill someone...😜 Very interesting that they use galvanized metal for the drawer bottoms. I never looked these up because I figured they would be way to expensive, but surprised by the prices. Might have one in my future...

    • @gerstner2010
      @gerstner2010 Год назад

      Thanks for commenting. With all restoration projects we do, the customer directs what is to be restored. While we can sand and refinish older chests, re-felt, replace all hardware, and bring it back to its original appearance, most prefer to leave the dings, scratches, and patina as a way to honor the history of the chest. Many chests are passed down through generations and the restoration of those physical markers, which some may see as needing to be fixed, probably tells a family's story that's worth repeating.

      the glue used is hide glue and therefore water soluble.

    10 thousand views and not one person comments. And the most important information to this video is missing…when you’re holding the left side forward and elevated as much as possible, after the right pin pops out from the track you not only want to make sure your angle is good, but you need to go in deep enough to make the right pin come up and over the first shelf slide so that you can pull the drawer out without scraping and scratching the finish on the inside under that first drawer slide like I did…since he didn’t say this I had to figure It out myself because he makes It look way to easy when it’s not…

    Make sure your latches are fully clean before attempting! I’m fixing up my grand dad’s Starrett/Gerstner box and I managed to break a replacement spring because I didn’t think to clear out all the pieces of the old spring. I didn’t want to remove the latches from the box because the screws are all original.

    Someone did a mild resto on my 1930's 052. I thought about sending it in for a full resto but then it would lose it's charm. It's truly one of my most prized possessions

  • @matthewc.fitzgerald7697
    @matthewc.fitzgerald7697 3 года назад

    Yes as Wayne said except I used a Dremel to grind head off and then punch thru.

  • @MyPlayfulPlans
    @MyPlayfulPlans 3 года назад

    In my view this method is incorrect. The (widely available) tools curl the rivet's ends onto the wood surface, neatly seating the rivet in place rather than hammering them flat. And a thin felt or other cloth should be inserted between the hinge and the anvil (whatever heavy steel piece is used to back up the head of the rivet) to eliminate scratches on the hinge.

    Very cool. I used to work at this place many years ago in my younger days for a short time. I was looking for a shot of the old manual elevator inside. That building hasn't changed since it was built probably some time around 1900 and survived the 1913 flood.

I will NEVER buy anything made in China if I can avoid it... God Bless America & our beloved President, Donald J. Trump... :~)
