Whoever made this etched an absolutely gorgeous pattern into the plate... and then left it to his epileptic shop apprentice to put the lines on the measuring gauge.
FIY, heat the part, then put the oil. You're expending a lot more heat heating it up with oil on than required and while gas is cheap, that can damage the part you're trying to loosen up in some cases. You can also use paraffin, which has a higher seep through coefficient.
The timeless elegance of this piece - the little flourishes like the engraving and the circles in the arm - is all the more lovely when it's revealed. A wonderful piece of work!
Hope you checked for lead before you worked on it!! I've never seen one like that. Excellent looking restoration and you did a wonderful job restoring it as well!!! Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up 💙Slava Ukraini!! #StopRussia #GloryToTheSoldiers💛
Wow wow wow, what a magician. Congrats, that's impressing. I like the concept of no audio comments, but on this video, there are less written comments, and that a bit of a pity. We don't know if you use a rust removal laser, or if you just paint above it. But awesome video anyway.
Sandblasting takes a lot longer if you have multiple layers of thick, densely adherent paint. Also, if the paint contains lead the blast nozzle can clog, requiring expensive repairs (and of course lead dust isn't necessarily the healthiest thing to inhale).
The sand blaster is only supposed to remove oxidation - it may not adequately remove paint, no. You get dustless sand blasting which is supposed to be better, but that's not the machine OTND has.
My favorite part came at the end there when you making that piece with the threads, it's amazing to me how a solid piece of material can be reduced down into that! I love that process it is so cool and very satisfying to see it all turn out good :D

I'm not an expert on restorations but I've seen you using oil and a burner quite often to losen rusty screws. Apparently this method seem to work but could be an issue in a place where heat is a no-go. From my experience what works extremely well for rusty screws is WD-40 and no heat is required. WD-40 is a creep oil, it's super fluid and flows into the smallest cracks. Many people use it for lubrication but that's actually not what it is meant for as it won't stay in place and isn't even a good lubricant. It was designed to displace water and flow into the thinnest scratches. It can also be used as a cleaner to displace old, sticky oil or silicone before applying new lubrication. Yet if you want constant lubrication, you need an oil that is thicker and will stay in place for a very long time or silicone or PTFE spray.
13:13 of course... that's why the base has that rounded hole design. That's a threaded cap. It would've been able to hang stuff that's circular in type, like a bottle once. Possibly a brass bottle. This is a liquids scale that someone crudely converted to normal solids scale. edit: two more clues: the chain is a clock chain, used for the weights and the hand made, bespoke base makes no sense, since this is a cast iron scale, with cast brass parts, where that brass plate has been repurposed at some point.
I love the techniques used to remove and restore. My one question is in all your videos, to loosen a nut, you use oil and a torch vice PB Blast or other solutions designed to lessen a stuck bolt. Is there a particular reason for using the oil and torch beside thermal expansion of the nut to loosen it. Great content!
Ill never understand these people who jump to the sand blaster for non rusting metals, that the surface could be cleaned in a much less destructive way.
Idk know if you restore for people but the things you keep you should make an museum and put the date on all of them all your pieces are collector items
A very ornate piece to be a scale,I think,curious what it was used in type of business.great restoration,put lot of work into it.very, very nice continue on with your quest.kudos 😎😎😎👍👍👍

Love it....I was a little surprised that you didn't blacken the scale demarcation or the engraving on the plate.
Same! Still a good job though!
Yes, I was hoping that a little bit more work was going to be done to it.
é que ele não fez para reutilizar e sim para guarder em um museu de restaurações
I'm just reviewing all of the restoration videos because when I was little I just skipped everything
I have watched hundreds of restoring videos and that brass plate cleanup was by far the most satisfying sand blasting I've ever seen.
Wow
I was surprised at just how much of that scale was made of brass. Each time you sandblasted a part, I was surprised.
The work you did on the chains was fantastic! So was the rest of the piece. 😊
When you sand blasted the bottom plate and that fantastic design appeared!!!
So awesome!!! ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yay, another fantastic video!
Watching this channel late at night is always strangely relaxing in a unique way!
I just watch in school, lol
I love watching before bed, it's so relaxing!

This is one of the most interesting scales I've seen! Very nice!
You haven't posted a video in a while, hope you are OK. Keep up the good work, I miss new videos.
A unique piece indeed! Liked the plate and the chains!
Videos was uploaded 11 minutes ago, video is 17 minutes along...... yet I see comments saying ""Great videos" 10 minutes ago.....hmmmmm
Some people just want to give the apperance of doing stuff. Not actually doing it…
You don't always have to watch it to know it's great!
Marvelous job you did restoring the old scale. It looks much better and it works like a charm too. Excellent work as usual.
You ever wonder where these things have sat for 120 years🙈🙈
The parting lines should be left in tact, as they were out of the factory. Cool restoration. :)
Nicely done. Saving a piece of history from the scrapheap. 👍
Beautiful restoration mister beautifully restored well done
Nice work but not perfect as usual.
The lower bowl is ugly and the paint work need to be filled first.
(I am sorry..it is my opinion)
The timeless elegance of this piece - the little flourishes like the engraving and the circles in the arm - is all the more lovely when it's revealed. A wonderful piece of work!
Amazing, dude! It looks fantastic! 😃
I loved the color! Really well done!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Hope you checked for lead before you worked on it!!
I've never seen one like that. Excellent looking restoration and you did a wonderful job restoring it as well!!!

Hard to believe that cool flower pattern was hidden below all this paint and grime
Love this channel

What a simple way to zero the scale! Beautiful piece.
Wow! Big surprise 😲 with the floral engraving. ⚘️
Bravo la reparation de la chaine a la main!
Awesome work. I love this restoration. The effort you put on fixing the chain was amazing. Great work! 👏👏👏👏
Bravo, Sir! You are a true craftsman ⭐✨
Bonjour, c'est vraiment satisfaisant à regarder mais en plus votre travail est vraiment bien fait. Merci
Amazing job again my friend. It looks like a completely different scale. Sending massive love from Ireland 🇮🇪
I imagine the metal bowl could account for the discrepancy in weight between the apples on the digital scale and the analogue scale.
Might've tared the bowl's weight off before adding the apples to digital scale.
Im still watching, and I'm curious as to why you use paint stripper then sand blast? Does sand blasting not remove paint?
Sandblasting takes a lot longer if you have multiple layers of thick, densely adherent paint. Also, if the paint contains lead the blast nozzle can clog, requiring expensive repairs (and of course lead dust isn't necessarily the healthiest thing to inhale).

That is gorgeous! I love the chain fix! Great job!👍😊

Thank you very much 😉🥰
@@OldThingsNeverDie- ☺ You're very welcome!
A joy to watch, never a waste of my time to see how you use your time.
والله كفو كفو 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I enjoy watching these videos. I enjoy watching the items you restore. Keep up the great job.
A little sad not all the holes got a tiny chamfer, but you get a pass for doing such incredible work on the chain! Love it!
Your attention to the little details ❤ It takes me back to watching my dad fix and make things. Thank you for that.😊
How much was it purchased for?
And how much would it be estimated at after restoration?
Versus hours spent restoring?

No piękna sprawa - gratulacje za zręczność
Beautiful restoration. What would have been more impressive, would have been restoring it to the accuracy it had.
Why have I never seen a scale of this type before? It's such a simple straightforward design, it could've been invented in ancient times.
😊🎉❤😊ALONSO
13:13 of course... that's why the base has that rounded hole design. That's a threaded cap. It would've been able to hang stuff that's circular in type, like a bottle once. Possibly a brass bottle. This is a liquids scale that someone crudely converted to normal solids scale.
edit: two more clues: the chain is a clock chain, used for the weights and the hand made, bespoke base makes no sense, since this is a cast iron scale, with cast brass parts, where that brass plate has been repurposed at some point.
Looks lovely, but I wonder how accurately it could be calibrated. The attachments do look adjustable.
Why remove the paint with chemicals when you use the sand blaster after? Couldn’t you do that with the blaster?
6:53 This might be the first time I've seen an upside-down V used for an A. The manufacturer needed to buy a vowel?
Where do I find your hoodie? It looks so comfortable. Excellent restoration, king.
Making that chain must have been long winded? Well done mate 👍👍👍👍👍👍
I love the techniques used to remove and restore. My one question is in all your videos, to loosen a nut, you use oil and a torch vice PB Blast or other solutions designed to lessen a stuck bolt. Is there a particular reason for using the oil and torch beside thermal expansion of the nut to loosen it. Great content!
Excellent work - remaking those chain links 👍👍👍👍👍👍
some nuts and bolts need heat where it sat LESS with more RUST? on the threads??? no (cc) to explain?
Ill never understand these people who jump to the sand blaster for non rusting metals, that the surface could be cleaned in a much less destructive way.
i love it when you do unique things or old toys. tired of tools lol
Breath taking work….. so impressive….. hi from Canada 🇨🇦
Thank god you’re back! No other channel does restorations as good as you! ❤️
always fun seeing the hidden picture under the grime and corrosion. Its like a magic trick.
The plate looks almost like a repurposed clock dial, though it's probably not.
Beautiful restoration, I love your craftsmanship 😊
Idk know if you restore for people but the things you keep you should make an museum and put the date on all of them all your pieces are collector items
This channel is false advertising. Old things do die. RIP grandma.
Nice work! I am not even going to knock points off for it using that goofy “metric” system!
Great work dude.
Vous trouvez vos antiquités chez Emmaüs ou simplement à des vide-greniers?
Cool. As always.
Where do you get such interesting things to restore?
Do you guys know why he uses paint stripper if he gonna sand it afterwards?
Why would you not want the perfect smooth and shiny surface?
Do you find replica’s of these items online to help you choose colors to paint?
I gasped out loud when I saw that beautiful pattern on the tray emerge.
Do you think it is right to correct imperfections that were on the piece originally?
Wash surprised when the base cleaned and revealed a design and chain was gold toned.
I like how the frame can double as a Loch Ness monster.
Мило! Такие весы можно только ради красоты на кухне поставить.
... very nice job done! Congrats! 😉🦊
4:30 _shakes my hand in front of my face._ he can't see me, my time is now.
Nice overall. Sad to see some corners cut though.
4:29 "*can't* see us" | Looks like an alien for sure! 😄
Turned out beautiful👍🏾🇬🇧💙
So that's how knurling happens 😮
watching long sessions of sandblasting is not that interesting
What abrasive media was used on the brass plate?
What happens to the things you usually restore?
your videos are amazing, hope you post more soon
What a beautiful piece after restoration.
Great editing with the bolt getting smaller!
Une belle restauration grâce à la peinture de la Dordogne 😂
that dinosaur joke made me laugh.
Another great video, cant wait for the next one!
is it possible for you to do a lazer rust remover ?
A very ornate piece to be a scale,I think,curious what it was used in type of business.great restoration,put lot of work into it.very, very nice continue on with your quest.kudos 😎😎😎👍👍👍
Does anyone know if he's okay? 2 months without posting a video, is it normal? '-' 🇧🇷
Don't worry, I'm fine. I'll be back very soon ;)
great job never saw a scale such as this.
