Antique Personal Weighing Scale Restoration

- In this restoration video, you will see cast iron welding, powder coating, brass turning, sandblasting, and the usual details of restoration work. This antique bathroom scale was made in Germany in the early 1900s and produced by “Jaraso”.
It was not until the beginning of the Twentieth century that someone thought of a personal household scale on which to weigh oneself, and it was the Germans who apparently first made such a scale. The first manufacturer may have been “Jas Raveno & Son,” who named their scale “Jaraso.”
In 1910, the company registered British Patent No. 23493/1910 (see the two advertisements in the newspaper The Chemist and Druggist, in 1912 and 1922). Subsequently, the scale was patented in other countries, such as the US and Italy, in 1911.
Those balances were used in medical offices, hospitals, and households to meet the increasing demand accompanying the rise of mass consumption society.
Almost totally made in cast iron, the quadrant is calibrated from 0 to 125 kg with a mark for every 500 grams. It has a small mirror suspended on chains to enable the user to read the dial. The quadrant is written in the native tongue.
The restoration process went well, even though the bathroom scale was very rusty. The only issue was with the broken part, but I managed to weld it and learn new things. It was the first time I had to weld a cast iron part.
I hope you like this restoration video and share this autumn joy with me.
Cheers, and Thanks for watching !!!

Hi folks! This time you will see me restoring an very old personal weighing scale. I had a lot of good time restoring this beauty and I hope you will enjoy the video. The process took me almost 12 days. Thank you all for your support and enjoy watching! PS: More details about this bathroom scale in the description. Cheers!

This scale greatly deserved to be patiently restored: it was designed to survive several wars! It has just regained a new life expectancy of at least another century, bravo! The use of the mirror is something I've never seen before...
A pleasure to observe your skill - without all the bull that a lot of these programs insist on using, your talent/gift shone through. Many thanks.
Thank you for watching my videos! 🙂
Nice work in restoring that old, old scale!! THANK YOU!!
Thank you for watching! 🙂
The mirror is ingenious!💡👍😺
This is your best one yet. That’s an amazing piece of history, once again restored for future generations to appreciate. Thank you for sharing x
Thank you Lyndsey! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and the outcome 😀
Please wipe your brown nose 🤣
I've never seen so many drilled out screws in one job! 🔩🪛‼️😺
I like your longer videos.
Intricate and detailed, plus more shots of sandblasting!👍😺
Noted!
I love watching your projects. I do have a comment on this one you had gold and silver colored screws. It may have looked better with just one color. Thank you again for your work.
Im sure not much from this day and time eill last that long for future generations to clean up, repair, and reuse. Everything is do cheaply made now that almost everything we own is disposable. Things usef to be made to last. Glad there are people like you who will and enjoy refurbishing those old pieces. Thanks for sharing. You truly are devoted.
Thank you for watching my videos 🙂
BEAUTIFUL !!
Thank you Linda! 🙂
Отличная работа и поучительное видео! Мастеру респект!
Thank you 🙌
I really find enjoyment in watching the magic work. Thanks a lot.
Happy to hear that! Thank you for watching! 🙂
Love the pacing. Nice.
Thank you 🙌
I love the sound effects! Makes the video so much more fun!
Thank you for letting me know 🙂
Beautiful rebuild.
Thank you! 🙂
I admire you using the original white. It must have been very tempting to use any better color. Nice work with the weld.
That's true, but I'm trying my best to keep the original color even if sometimes I have to break this rule. It depends a lot if the item is mine or it is from a client. Thank you! 🙂
Almost 12 days! Wow! I can tell by the time spent that you really did love working on it. You could see day by day, the beauty emerge. Imagine something lasting 100 years! I suppose it resisted the elements and time because of the metal it was made of. It really did turn out beautiful and I was almost in a trance watching you do it! Thank you so much for doing this one and giving us a lovely, yet brief glimpse into the long ago past. You enjoy your Autumn coming on as well. ❤
Thank you so much for watching my videos and for your nice words! 💕
Nice work, brass screws are a nice highlight against the whit👍🏼
Thank you 🙌
That was a all white restoration. Great job.
Thank you Anthony 🙂
Nice restoration. I believe your support rack directly under the screen floor in your blast cabinet is installed upside down, which is why your blast media collects on the braces like it does.
Thank you. Initially, I tried to put it as you said, but there is a problem with the screw holes. They don't fit anymore. I guess that is a production issue.
Потрясающе! Раньше делали настоящие вещи. Все можно разобрать и восстановить. А сейчас все на выброс.
Magnificent craftsmanship bringing that one back from scrap. I’m surprised it only took you 12 days. It appears double the amount of work went into that. Thanks for sharing this and your skills with us.
Thank you so much! You have right to be surprised. In those 12 days I was in the workshop sometimes even 10-12h. If I will not do overtime for sure will take longer.
Incredible!! Such dedication and ingenuity with this restoration. It's so cool!!
Thank you 🙂 I'm glad you enjoyed the restoration process.
I absolutely love watching you restore life to these cool old projects! It was nice seeing glimpses of YOU as well! Bravo! 💪🏼
Thank you Jessica! I'm happy to know that you enjoyed the video! 🙂
Beautiful job! The paper thing behind the mirror would just have been folded up paper to act as a cushion for the mirror so it didn't rattle
Thank you! I guess so, but at that moment I was excited that I will find some kind of certificate 😅
Love watching you work. It is amazing how you can restore these various glimpses of the past.
Thank you very much!
I like that screwdriver with the extra handle. That screw is coming out, come hell or high water.
Ficou maravilhosa, um trabalho excelente parabéns
Excellent!
Thank you James! 🙌
Отличная работа. Здорово получилось красиво. Ваша работа мне понравилась. Можно сказать из такого хлама так всё исправить. Что выглядит как новый. Вы молодец. 👍👍👍👍👍.
Thank you! 🙂
I think the imperfections are the real deal and original. Please don’t remove them. Keep it as originals as is was. Great work🧸
Amazing job you did restoring the scale to working order. It looks much better, too. Great work making new bolts as well. Well done.
Thank you George! I'm glad you enjoyed.
Preliminaryly liked you because you didn't afraid of repairing such a complex movement. I've subscribed.
Thank you! 🙂
Peening?! Ballpeen hammer?! Now I get it!!😺
Amazing job. Well done. I loved it.
I'm so glad to know that you enjoyed the video! Thank you!
absolutely fantastic, it really is a beautiful item, you out did yourself.
Thank you Cecil. 🙂
Very nice work, joy to watch
Thank you, Paul! 🙂
Remarkable job, and very entertaining. Usually spring scales had a compensating mechanism for the change in spring tension.
Thank you 🙂
Прекрасно восстановлено 👏👏👏
Thank you! 🙂
Saludó desde la República Dominicana excelente vídeo
Thank you. Now I bought wine from Dominican Republic. I'm in Masca, Tenerife! Cheers
Well done!
Thank you Otto! 🙌
Muy bien la restauración de la vieja balanza.
Gracias!
Great job. I would have like also white screws in the Top. But I understand the struggle here.
Saw another video of the same type of scale.
The other video was better than this one.
But STILL!
This was also a good restoration and operational scale
Thank you. Yes, I need to improve the filming and editing. I am working on it!
... SIMPLY AMAZING!!!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 🙂
We need a long slow powder coat baking segment with that 70's nudey movie music overlayed. "Oooooooooo Yeahhhhhh"
🤣🤣🤣
Cool restoration..I like the outcome.
Thank you 🙂
Nicely refurbished. I can only imagine the number of people that have fallen off such a scale though... Thumbs Up!
Thank you 😅
You will never stop to amaze me!
Nice to hear that! Cheers bro! 🙂
Thank you for sharing your knowledge of metals so that viewers learn. Terrific restoration!
Thank you. I'm glad you find it useful. Cheers.
Oh! The little indents were square!⬛️😺
Perfeito trabalho !

No wonder it took so long!😹
Great job
Thank you so much! 🙂
Meu passa tempo preferido gratidao🎉
عمل غاية في الروعة انت موهوب وفنان بكل قوة
Great work!
Thank you. The dial is backwards, that's why has a mirror, to read when you are on the scale.
@@rustyshadesrestoration Yes, I noticed that at the end. This is why I edited my comment. Thank you for a great video!
No problem! Thank you for watching! Cheers 🙂
great video
Thank you!
Great work! I didn't know your channel, I subscribed immediately.
Thank you Thomas. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Another very good job! A pleasure to see this restoration! It also looks like you have a nice workshop. Thanks for this video.👏👏
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers!
Nice work!! I have the same exact scale at home.
Thank you 🙂
Nicely done. Cheers! S
Thank you! Cheers!!
You always do such beautiful restorations. Has there ever been any you couldn’t. What was your hardest restoration?
Love to watch your making magic.🇺🇸
Thank you so much. Yes, the hardest is the newest project. I'm always jumping and choosing challenging things that I never did before, even though this makes me vulnerable a bit, and maybe sometimes things don't go as planned, but I know this is the single way of getting better at what I do. 🙂
Muy buen trabajo, cuando vi la pegatina del dial creí al revés que era un video pirateado que se puso invertido para evitar baneos, ni siquiera pensé que el espejo era tan importante, hasta que vi al final que si lo era. Esto es arte.
Gracias!!!
good job my friend :)
Thank you 🙂 Happy to see you here! Means a lot for me! Cheers!
@@rustyshadesrestoration 👍👍😉😉
Good job nice super like brother
Thank you!
Excellent job! It is beautiful!
Thank you Cheryl! 🙌 Glad you like it!
A lovely restoration of the scale ⚖️⚖️
Thank you Tom! 🙌
Amazing
Very nice. A little Grease and oil would be nice in the final assembly. Keep up the good work.
Nice job👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
It's like opening a box of chocolates 🍫 😋
u should add gold leaf accents to all the leafy edges, maybe a few gold pinstripes
Could be done that way as well, but I choosed to keep it simple this time. Thank you for watching and for advice!
Amazing restoration. Thanks 🇧🇷
Obrigado!
You are just amazing and beautiful in everything you restored talented man! ❤️
Thank you so much for your beautiful words.
Great restoration man! Not going to lie, I was disappointed that you didn't stick with that green. But seeing the white and brass, it definitely looks slick. Awesome job!
Thank you. I couldn't stick with the green. White was the original colour, so I had to bring it back 🙂
Wow that was a huge project 👍 turned out great. Love your colour choice. I bet you spent a lot of time on that one. Well done
Thanks buddy! Yeah this project was quite time consuming, but the scale deserved a second chance 🙂
A nice object and worth to restore. My neighbour is a new fan of your Videos, since i told him about.
Oh thank you! I'm happy to hear that! Greetings to both of you!
Amazing work, I love the details in the video shooting 😊
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video! 🙂
Nice work
Thank you 🙂
Matias Lucena 02 de Outubro de 2022 ativando o sino aqui do Brasil, belo trabalho e DEUS o abençoe.
Obrigado! God bless you too! 🙏
how could someone throw an antique away? im glad it wad saved and preserved
Unfortunately, this happens every day everywhere 😕
Wonderful job there. 👌👌👌
Could you please do a bit of sand blasting & electrolysis together in your upcoming projects? 😍
Thank you! If I have a chance I'll do it.
Sensacional parabéns
Obrigado!
Buen trabajo
Gracias Javier! 🙂
а был такой чудесный зелёный цвет...
It was, but not the original one..
Nice job 👍🏻
Thank you 🙌
Fabuloso trabajo, ya me gustaría tener la habilidad y conocimientos para restaurar como tú lo haces. 👏👏👏👏
Gracias! A lot of practice and patience is the key on this kind of work as well.
A very enjoyable video, and relaxi g to watch as well.
Thank you! I'm glad you that enjoyed it! Cheers 🙂
2:54 такие винты лучше откручивать ударной отвёрткой, бита в этом случае поворачивается с усилием, при ударе по отвёртке молотком.
Nice restoration 👍👍👍
Thank you 🙌
When I saw the backwards text, I was wondering what was going on. Then near the end when the mirror came back, I thought oh yeah! That is why the text is backwards!
Si restáuras el metal tambien puedes restaurar un espejo antiguo...yo hubiera dejado el espejo antiguo...
I'm surprised it wasn't lead paint! 😺
Eline sağlık
Thank you! God bless you too! 🙏
I love restoration videos and quite liked this but the black, chrome and brass screws didn’t help with the look of it
That's your taste Martin. I didn't restore it only for you, so may happen many times to don't like the colours and so on. Others loved this mix. 🤷♂️
Genial
πολυ καλη δουλια.Για την δοκιμή θα μπορουσες να βαλεις ενα κιλο ζάχαρη που ειναι στάνταρ!
Thank you! I was interested in showing that my welding resists a heavy guy like me.
Lovely job. 👏👏👏👏🏴🏴
Thank you Frank! 🙌
