Brass Oil Can Restoration [Polished Brass]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 авг 2024
- In this restoration video I am restoring a brass oil can. This old oil can is covered with a layer of patina. I would like to remove this protective layer in this restoration and let the antique oil can shine again in its old splendor.
▬ What did I do ?! ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
The first step in restoring is always to carefully disassemble all components. There are not many parts in this old oil can. Inside there is a layer of lime that I remove with sand and a cordless screwdriver by letting the antique oil can rotate with the sand for a long time. Now a mixture of flour, salt and vinegar, all in the same amount, is stirred together and poured onto the brass, using very simple household means. After a few hours, I've waited here for a day, you can turn this mixture down again. The patina is now peeled off and the brass only needs to be polished. I do the polishing with a bench grinder with a polishing wheel and polishing paste, which of course also takes some time, restoring takes patience. After everything has been polished to a high gloss, you can reassemble the oil can and lubricate everything possible with it.
▬ Good to know ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
I found this oil can in a garage I had bought. At first I didn't even know that it was made of brass, so I was all the more pleased when I found out. Because brass polished to a high gloss looks like gold and also has a great shine, what more could you want? I had a lot of fun doing this restoration because it doesn't take a lot of tools, just a little time to restore this antique oil can.
I used the following tools: tweezers, pliers, sand, cordless screwdriver, tape, scales, bowl, salt, flour, vinegar, cling film, multi-tool, funnel, vegetable oil, knife blade
It took me about 13h to restore.

Wow! I had no idea that it would turn out so beautiful. Unlike now, that oiler was manufactured in an era when aesthetics were almost as important as functionality. Can you imagine seeing a dozen of them brand new on a store shelf? What a sight that would have been.
Wow yes, that shine and reflections. I never thought about it before, thanks for the inspiration!🐢
Man, I love brass things. They're just so gorgeous when they're cleaned up and shined beautifully!
Thank you, I am glad that you are watching many of my videos!
@@ForgottenShineRestoration heck yeah :) I follow My Mechanics and your channel was recommended, assumingly because of that, and I gave your channel a chance like I do all channels big and small :) no regrets!

Wow this dough you made worked amazingly fine!! But what happened to your black gloves? 😪 they made such a tingly sound
Great work, as always, thanks for sharing.
No subtitles available though. Maybe because I'm watching on my mobile? Just letting you know.

Hey Alberto Santos Bellido , thanks for your feedback but the subtitle should work, I just tested it and it worked, maybe you just try it again.

That, is a plant sprayer. $25 on Amazon. You are supposed to put WATER in it, not oil.
Happy New Year
Great job on the oil can.
Happy New Year!
Thank you!
@@ForgottenShineRestoration
Thank you and you are welcome🙂
Quanta dedicação 👏🏼👏🏼😍😍💯💯
Muito obrigado! 🐢
Great job. One way to check to see if the item restoring is solid brass, is to use the magnet, if the magnet sticks then it’s brass coated, if it does not stick it is solid brass.
Aha, ok. Thank you for the tip! 🐢
How long did you think that you ran the drill to tumble the tin.
Excelente trabalho. Parabéns 👏🇧🇷.
Tenho uma pergunta. O que é essa massa?
Muito Obrigado! A pasta de polimento, a azul é a fina, e depois a branca, que é mais para o aço porque é mais grossa. Para o latão, porém, o azul é completamente suficiente, o branco até faria mal. Portanto, basicamente não é uma pasta de polimento especial.
Marcello, se vc se refere a massa que ele usou para remover a oxidação do latão, é uma massa feita com farinha de trigo, vinagre e as vezes com um pouco de bicarbonato de sódio. Só misturar e aplicar sobre a superfície e deixar agir por um dia, depois só lavar com água e polir do modo que ele explicou.
Agora entendi. Obrigado.
Oh, desculpe! Eu não tinha entendido isso e já tinha pensado em polir quando você comentou. Obrigado workshop dc!
Good job and a very good youtube channel!Now Iam a subscriber!!Greetings from another restoration channel!TIR

making brass tamales!!!
Your grinder in need of a good restoration
most excellent! But I am torn between the patina of the old vs making things look brand new.
Yes, I feel the same way, it's not an easy decision...🐢
이제 저걸로 페인트칠
Face reveal😅😂
What was that doughy stuff he used to clean it with?
Flour, salt and vinegar. This removes the patina from the brass very well...🐢
@@ForgottenShineRestoration Ah, thank you for replying. Interesting stuff!
first of all brass dose not rust the only types of metals that rust are alloys
That’s a plant mister not an oil can
Hello Dave. Yes you can use it with water, but you can also find it on the internet with oil. It is said to have been used for sewing machine oil in the past.
Ok. I'm glad I'm not the only one who had this thought... it let's out way too much oil for a sewing machine, though I suppose this may not have been the case in the past.
치익?
This is actually a plant mister not an oil can
