Pen Turning - Wood & Brass
Finally time for a little project again! I had a nice little leftover piece of wood, probably Sapelli, a type of mahogany. Dark wood looks good in combination with brass. So off to the lathe I went!
Woodworking and metalworking go well together. Fitting and pressing in the turning mechanism requires a lot of precision. The maximum tolerance was a hundredth of a millimetre. And the tip of the ballpoint pen can also have two hundredths of a millimetre of play if it is to write cleanly, precisely and without wobbling.
The surface treatment with shellac also takes time. In the video you can only see one step with sealing and lacquer application. In reality, it took five to seven coats. And eac...

CLIPPER Lighter Collection Stand - DIY with Mahogany, Shellac, Brass
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.Год назад
My daughter wanted a stand for her small collection of Clipper lighters. Welcome! Of course, you can also buy some. But what you find on the online platforms is just very ugly plastic and quite wobbly. So it's a nice little project. A good piece of mahogany was still lying around. The rest is just a bit of sawing, sanding and drilling. And some work on the lathe for the feet and the inserts, so...
Vintage 'Lorch' Metal Lathe Restoration - Making new Spindle Nuts
Просмотров 8 тыс.Год назад
In my last videos there were some comments wanting to see more of my little lathe. Well - here it is! I don't know, how old it is. Probably around 70 or 80 years. And this might have been the first real service! Since I bought it some years ago, it always had a bit of backlash in the slides. But in the last few projects it got so big that it was due for an overhaul. Disassembly showed that the ...
STANLEY No 151 Spokeshave 'Sweetheart' Restoration
Просмотров 3,8 тыс.Год назад
Hi folks, the last video was quite a while ago, but the job kept me very busy, so the workshop was empty for quite a while. This time a small Stanley No. 151 Spokeshave came my way. Complete, but in a pretty pitiful condition. Just the thing to bring a historical tool back into shape. Normally I try to keep everything as true to the original as possible. In this case I allowed myself a small ex...
Vintage 1930 Pasta Machine 'Bürk' Restoration - Perfect Result and perfect pasta!
Просмотров 9 тыс.Год назад
There's nothing like homemade pasta! I found this old pasta machine on Ebay. It comes from a Swabian manufacturer who was famous for his heavy, stable and long lasting pasta machines. 'Bürk' was told to be the 'Mercedes of pasta machines'. Modern pasta machines are usually made of thin sheet metal. This one is made of solid iron and weighs 5 kilograms! I don't know exactly how old it is. But it...
Broken Santa Restoration 😊

This restoration was a real challenge. With my last money I had bought a Santa Claus. But unfortunately he had a nasty accident on the way home. I couldn't eat him in this condition. So off to the workshop! The disassembly went reasonably well. But the damage was nasty. The metal housing had to be reshaped. Santa had to be completely disassembled. After measuring, I was able to order a replacem...
The 'REGULATEUR' - Vintage Centrifugal Drill Press Restoration
Просмотров 131 тыс.2 года назад
This time I am restoring an old bench drill. It was built from about 1905. The special feature is the centrifugal weights that automatically regulate the contact pressure. When the machine came on the market, this must have been a very big relief. At last, you no longer had to crank with one hand and regulate feed with the other; you had one hand free to control the workpiece. Restoration was q...
Rare 100 Year old Hand Drill Restoration
Просмотров 4,6 тыс.2 года назад
I found this old hand drill, probably 100 years old. It was still working, but rusty and everything was wobbly. During restoration I tried to maintain function and the typical traces of a long and hard working life. Some parts had to be renewed, especially shafts and the broken bearing. Thanks to my good old lathe, this was no problem. I resisted the temptation to make all surfaces 'better than...
100 Year old Ramses Coffee Grinder Restoration
Просмотров 25 тыс.2 года назад
I found this old coffee grinder - probably made around the year 1910. So it's at least 100 years old and looked as if it has never been cleaned. The type of this grinder was very common: four pillars and thin sheet brass. I think this type was invented by Zassenhaus, but often copied by many producers. In this case the grinder shows a 'Ramses' label, which was used by a Hungarian factory. The r...
Etching a Brass Type Label for my lathe without chemicals
Просмотров 15 тыс.2 года назад
I found another old lathe made by Stube & Fils in Paris around the year 1893. Type label was missing, so I tried to make a new one during restoration. Normally these type labels ware etched with Iron-III-Chloride - which is highly toxic. I tried to do it without chemicals, only with electrolysis. The result is not as perfect as a professional made type label. But it matches perfectly with the a...
Machinist Vice Restauration
Просмотров 6842 года назад
I found this small machinist vice. Not in a really bad condition, but unloved, neglected and with really worn out jaws. I tried to restore ist without deleting all the traces of hard work. That means, I don't like 'Better-than-new' restorations, because I think, that takes old tools their history. The vice left the factory with a rough casting. Why should I grind down all it's signs of birth or...

Making a Brass Shake Pen with a 130 year old lathe

Wellcome to my first video! Some months ago, I found an old lathe, made by Strube & Fils Co in Paris in 1893. I restored it and thought about turning some brass parts. Here's the first result - a pen with shake mechanism. Nice and very heavy. I like the feeling of this pen. Enjoy the video!

    I started to wonder, and decided you had a second lathe; then I saw you taking the old parts out again and it took me a second to realize that you had A) dismantled the lathe and determined what needed to be done B) REASSEMBLED everything and made the parts C) dismantled AGAIN and put the new parts in place That’s quite a bit of effort. Bravo sir. It’s kinda funny that you can use a machine with poor tolerances to make new parts for the same machine that improve its tolerances.

    Tolles Video und schöne Restauration! Habe letzte Woche exakt dieses Modell bei Kleinanzeigen gekauft. Leider ist bei mir das Bohrfutter auch kaputt - weißt Du welche Bohrfutteraufnahme ich brauche um ein neues zu bestellen? Kenne mich da leider nicht gut aus und finde auch im Netz keine Antworten. Ein netter Mitarbeiter von Flott hat mir exakt den gleichen Katalog geschickt, da steht aber leider zum Bohrfutter auch nichts drin. Beste Grüße Alex

      Das müsste ich noch einmal abschrauben und nachmessen. Ich erinnere mich jedoch, dass es ein Din-Gewinde war, entweder Normgewinde oder Feingewinde. Das an der Spindel war noch in Ordnung. Bei dem alten Bohrfutter, das ich als Ersatz besorgt hatte, habe ich die Aufnahme ausgedreht, einen passenden Gewindeeinsatz mit etwas Übermaß gedreht und nach Erhitzen eingepresst. Hält bombenfest. Hilft aber vermutlich nicht viel, wenn ich Dir die Daten durchgebe. Ich würde nicht drauf wetten, dass da an allen Spindeln über alle Modelle und die gesamte Bauzeit immer die exakt identische Aufnahme dran war. Die haben eben auch genommen, was gerade auf Lager war und entsprechend angepasst.

Wenn alles glatt und spielfrei läuft, sind Bohrleistung und Bedienung wirklich beeindruckend. Aber Vorsicht: Die Kugeln können einem den Schädel einschlagen.

Habe gefühlt das komplette Netz durchforstet und das einzige passende Bohrfutter kommt von Röhm und nimmt maximal 8er Bohrer auf 😅 Vielleicht muss ich mir von einem Metaller ein Adapterstück drehen lassen.

    The derusting tanks just use a battery charger and some sodium carbonate to increase conduction. This will transform seriously rusted kit. The processes are the same . One comment is ‘voltage drop’ to be aware of. To clean a flat plate or etch it, the other electrode should be similar in size and equidistant so that the voltage drop per cm. Is the same. If one end is close and the other several cm away then the etching rates are different due to the resistance of the water. I have never seen anyone yet do derusting or etching with a 100 amp arc welder yet. That should be interesting, loads of hydrogen and oxygen. Armour was coated with french polish, cut back with a needle or scraper and then acid etched, electrolytic would work as well. Undercutting on deep etching is a problem.
