Hi men keep doing a great job 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 YEAA❤❤

มันคืออะไร

👍👍👍

Great video! I just bought this exact model and was wondering what to expect when I disassembled it. The wood bar appears to have some sort of a leather or wood laminate on it, did you determine what it was?

Not bad, but why no nickel plating? It's quite simple. I give it a like for promotion.

What's the grit of the sandpaper? I'm from Brazil. I recently bought a Wittnauer compass, US marked, in an auction. Standard compass in Brazilian Army during WW2 was the Bézard, but our troops received standardized US equipament in Italy. We also allowed to USAAF to build an air base in our Northeast coast, shortening the path to Africa. I don't know if my Wittnauer compass went from Italy or from an American airman assigned to Parnamirim Air Base.

Beautiful

Where im buy this wallet?pls😢

Does it has value?

nice!

Bgm would be good

I have this pocet compass I want to sell this compass

Same to same mere pass hai yesa compass mujhe bechna hai

This Wittnauer Compass was originally Brass PLATED in SILVER because Brass Tarnishes so fast and is so soft.

Long shot but here it goes. My fiancée found this exact compass that belonged to her grandfather. I saw yours had a brass clip that, when you removed it, the glass simply fell out. Any advice if there is not brass clip and the glass won't just fall out?

Wow such a beautiful job👍 looks great well done

ASTONISHING! I AM SUBSCRIBING WITH A PASSION!👊

It looks great!! Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up I subscribed to your channel

Nice video mate . Keep going 👍👌

Well that was great 👍 turned out brilliantly my friend. Loved watching the laser engraving, a much better viewing angle than your shorts video. Fantastic job. Great video

i have one..im from the philippines..does this knife have a value?

The ball on the end of the screw is missing. Had it been there like it should be if your dividers weren’t broken, this entire restoration would have been impossible. Nice video btw.

That looks neat. I could watching that stuff all day.

I have this same compass in amazing Condition, any idea what they are worth? Mine has original leather strap and still calibrated to point dead north!

First of all, I'd like to say, Nice job, to you on this vintage compass. (PS. This model compass was used in the military for quite some time, and was a popular model fiven to many troups. They were not only issued during WW2, but MANY were also issued during the Korean War! I actually have one in my shop as I type, that came in yesterday for repair. This one was issued by the Army to my customers father in 1951 on his way to Korea, during the Korean War. So these simple, hand held, but highly effective and useful standard compasses, were issued by the thousands not only through WW2, but also the Korean War, and believe it or not, a small number were issued during the Vietnam War! That's quite a track record, extending over 2 decades..!!! All that being said, I'd like to also make a few additional comments, to anyone considering what to do with one they may have in their family. No doubt, having such an item carries with it a lot if sentimental value. And to be honest, on this item, that's where almost all of the value is. So not people who have these are trying to sell them. Never the less, it's important to know and understand that whenever you "restore" an item like this, (even though what's seen here is not a real "restoration"), it's important to know that you are basically removing almost all of it's collectability as far as true collectors are concerned. A collector paying top price for these items, would lose interest in this item, due to the work that's been done here. Why??? Because collectors insist on pieces being 100% original, including the scrapes, minor dents, signs of wear, and the decades of "patina" that was scrubbed and polished away. And while it looks shiny, looks better, and looks like "new" to non collectors, doing this basically removes it from being collectible, and destroys it's collectible value. So, with all that being said, be sure to consider this, if you plan to polish up your old collectible compass. While a real restoration is something entirely different than what's shown, this cleaned up, polished look appeals to some people. And that's fine. Going this route with tour collectible compass, is best for those that NEVER plan to sell or trade the compass, (because its monetary value is basically lost to the people who'd pay the highest prices), so doing this is well suited for those who like the "newer" looking appearance, and plan on keeping it forever. The only other thing I'd add to this, is that because the compass case isn't made of sterling silver in this particular case, and is made out of an inexpensive base metal and was then silver plated, after polishing it leaves the base metal shining and most of the silver plating is now gone. That's why its got that slight "golden" hue to it. If the case was made of sterling silver, it could be thoroughly polished to perfection if desired, and you wouldn't have that discoloring, you'd have bright, sparkling sterling (or coin) silver. In closing, that's all I can add to doing a project like this. Weigh the options, consider your ling term plans with the piece etc before having something like this done. And if you plan to keep it? And don't care about it's monetary value among collectors? And like the way it looks when looking "newer"? Then have at it, it's all good. And you've done it making an informed decision, without the possibility of getting a shocking surprise one day down the road when you offer to sell it to a collector... Hope this helps.

Hey, I have one knife same as that. What they used them for? It's pretty small.

Great job! I really like the result.

cool video !! I want to continue!!!

You are a master in this 👍😉💪

Nice job 👍🏼

Awesome!

It looks like these dividers lost the little ball that goes on the end of the screw to keep the nut from coming off. You could probably make a replacement by screwing an acorn nut onto a piece of threaded rod and chucking the rod into an electric drill. With the drill, spin the nut against a belt sander or grinder to shape it into a ball that will screw onto the divider screw. Use a dab of threadlock to keep it in place and you're all set.

The result is perfect, thanks

PERFECT RESTORATION BRO

Hi, what is that fluid you use after you blow torch the nut?

Nice bro!
