- Restoration of a VERY rare VARTA iron from 1900s. It was buried in the ground for a long time.I wanted to iron my shirts with a historical iron.So I decided to start this restoration project.
Open subtitles for information.
Looked like something out of an archeological dig. Wow amazing how anything like that can actually be restored. Thankyou for bringing back a history we probably wouldnt have ever seen again.
Thank you very much for your nice comment. I am very happy that you liked it.💙
What in the world is all over that iron?? It looks like it was dipped in batter and deep fried. Absolutely amazing transformation!!
Thanks for your beautiful message Julie. ❤️❤️
😂😂😂😂😂
It is called mica, it looks a bit like glass it was used in the doors of wood stoves at the turn of the century, it resists high temp that would break glass.
It was probably found buried in the ground somewhere or in a dump. Back in the late 19th or very early 20th century, people used to bury their old broken junk, ie, pots, pans, rugs, utensils, in the ground. I have found such things where I used to live as it used to be farmland before it was developed into city neighborhoods.
@@PrayerRideryou could probably sell that old stuff
I love the side by side comparisons during the restoration. Amazing job!!
It's my favorite part too. I'm really looking forward to finishing the restoration as soon as possible and making the comparison. I'm so glad you like it.💚💚💚
Nice job. I like your patience and persistence. Antiques are my favorites, because they're well made and last a long time.
Thank you very much. They are both more beautiful, better quality and more useful in terms of durability and functionality compared to really newly produced products.💜💜
That is beyond impossible. Your patience is incredible.
Thank you very much! ❤️❤️❤️
Fantastic restoration to as good as condition as possible, without it looking 'overdone'. ❤️ My gran had one of these - sadly, I threw it out about 15 years ago without giving it a second thought! 😢
Felt sorry for iron.I try my best to keep them as original as I can.
Its actually weird but these restoration Vedios help me to get sleep... Its like a good asmr kind of thing..!!
Then I wish you a good sleep while watching the videos. 😄I am very happy that you like my video. Thank you.❤️❤️❤️
Same here😅😊
It's less ASMR when there are loud commercials throughout. I'd gladly watch commercials all the way through at the beginning of the video.
This was truly a labor of love ❤️ but so worth it! A working treasure! Above excellence! I enjoyed watching you at your craft! ♥️🇨🇦 22:20
I'm so glad you liked it. Thank you very much.❤❤
I think if they raise the titanic, you could restore it. LOL 😅😅
You brought this iron back from the dead.
You are not just a restorer, you Sir, are a genius.

Thanks for your nice comment. :)
Really nice when the original piece are kept on place.
Change something when is necessary, otherwise the original must stay there.
Well done!👏👏👏
Like you, I am in favor of preserving the original parts.Thanks for watching. :)
Very nice job restoring the iron. Plus you did it all without "buying" all new pieces. I like that thank you and you have a great day
I'm glad to see you here. I'm so happy that you watched my video and shared your valuable comment with me. Thank you for your like.❤️❤️
I’m not sure how it could have worked but it did, a very satisfying restoration to watch, and I love your work brother ❤️🌞
My dear brother, this nice comment made me very happy. I'm so glad you like it. Thank you for watching the video.❤️❤️❤️
I must congratulate you on your enthusiasm and patience 😀.
Thank you very much.
@@AntiqueVintageRestoratioNs 😀.
my grandma had one of these,,I don't know what happened to it,but this takes me back thank you
I'm so glad you liked it. I'm sure you still have it somewhere in the house or in storage.❤
Какой Вы молодец! Сколько нужно потрудиться, сколько нужно знаний и умений, чтобы совершить это чудо возрождения!
эй мой друг, этот хороший комментарий сделал меня очень счастливым Большое спасибо.💛💛💛
That old iron looked like it was in the ground because it was encrusted with a lot of dirt or dried-on mud. It looked too far gone to be restored but you got it working again. It looks much better too. Excellent work.
Thanks for your comment.I thought the same when i first see this iron.I wish i could restore its original chrome coating. But it is impossible in a small shop.Thanks for watching.
It shines just like a mirror and works so well…😊😮
Thank you for watching the video and sharing this valuable comment with me.💙💙
Very wonderful work, a big greeting to you from the Kingdom of Morocco.😊😊😊
I'm sending my big love to the Kingdom of Morocco.😊😊😊I'm so glad you liked it. Thank you.🤍🤍
Ive got those same "dental tools". It was a kit with all sorts of picks and tweezers. Mom got it for me when i was in college of Anthropology and went on an archaeological dig. So handy! Even now, around the house, I use the all the time. Excellent restoration!!!!
It is really useful. I have the set too. I bought it second hand from the antique market. I maintained and cleaned it. It has been 10 years. I could not have thought that they were this functional before I bought them.❤
Congratulations from Brazil! Great job!!
Thank you so much 😀 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Отлично. Я даже не поняла сначала, что это утюг!!! Старые, заброшенные вещи обретают новую жизнь, и это здорово.
Я рада, что вам понравилось. Большое спасибо. Я люблю переработку.❤️
very successful project , i appreciated the process of the transformation .Thank you for sharing this video and good luck to your channel.
Отличная работа.Приятно смотреть на работу мастера
Большое спасибо.❤️
Love watching the restoration videos. Magnificent!
It's great to see you here. I'm glad you like it.💛💛💛💛
I used one of these, but different brand, in the seventies, but heated on the wood stove. That was back in my hippie era. It was nice and heavy, and retained heat well
I think the products from the old years are of better quality. You are lucky if you still have it.❤
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I honestly would have chucked it. Do you ever go back to where you find these items to show how great they turned??? All I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!
Before restoring it I was planning to show it to seller but then I changed my mind.(he would charge me more next time).Thanks for watching. :)
@@AntiqueVintageRestoratioNs good point but to be honest even that guy would had to have said it was trash. You did the impossible and I love it. Pieces like that was made to last a lifetime. Now the new stuff is just junk. No one takes pride in what they make unless it is the small business owners that make it by hand. Those are the ones I seek out, sometimes quality is worth the extra price because it will be around a long time instead of a few months.
your restoration is just A piece of Art !
I am very glad that you like it. Thank you very much for sharing this valuable comment with me.💚💚💚
You are really smart! Your videos are really entertaining to watch!
I'm so glad you like my video. Thank you.💛💛
I thought by myself why bother to waist time on that thing, it's never going to work again.
You proof me wrong , you have a wonderful talent and you must have good knowledge how an iron is put together. Well done!
Many people throw these products away because they think this way. It is proud to see them working after all this effort. It would be a waste of time to struggle for a product whose infrastructure is not of high quality anyway, but if you are sure of its quality, you should never give up. Thank you for watching the video and for this valuable comment. thanks a lot.❤️❤️❤️❤️
Look great dude u did a nice job fixing it 👍😀
Thank you very much.👍😀
Stunning restoration. So glad that you saved the handle. That iron is a work of art!
I have watched quite a few other restoration projects on RUclips and I can honestly say yours is the best I have seen. This iron was in horrendous shape and quite a undertaking and your restore was awesome to watch and turned out beautiful. Great job
Joann thank you very much for your nice comment.Your comment made me so happy. :)
No doubt!
Looks like you found that one in the swamp. Weeds growing out of it. Great job. ❤😊
I'm so glad you liked it. Thank you very much.❤😊
My mother had an iron like that. It would get extremely hot. She also had an old wringer washer with the laundry tubs for rinsing. Laundry day was not fun.
Such products are considered quite valuable at the moment. I hope you still have them.And I hope you're having fun right now.🖤🖤
You are so talented! I loved watching you transform that iron!! Great job!
I'm so glad you liked it. Thank you very much.❤❤
سلمت يدك.

Patricia I am so gload you liked my video.❤❤❤❤
You know That’s Right!
That might be his best restoration yet. How come you didn’t replace the broken mylar? I believe it could’ve been insulation.
I am glad you liked my video.The new heating element has its insulation inside.(shiny metal part is the heating element). ❤️❤️❤️
Amazing, can't believe you could make it work again!
I really had my doubts at first, but the result pleased me. Thank you for your comment.💛💛
True craftsmanship!
Thank you Cherilyn
Hats off to your hard work
Thank you very much for this beautiful and valuable comment.🖐️🖐️
Great work and nice old iron! Enjoying your channel!😀🔧🛠️
I am honored that you follow me and like my videos.I am so glad you are here.Thank you for your valuable comment.Many more beautiful videos to come.Enjoy.😀😀💚💚💚
That was amazing. I love watching restorations. Especially on vintage stuff.
I love vintage stuff too.Holding one of them feels much different from holding a newer one.Thanks for your nice comment :)
Holy molly,that was insane ,and love how you are keeping the original parts.
I always try to keep original parts.Thanks for your nice comment. :)
Wow impressive the restoration was perfect, congratulations. 💜💜💜
Marcia thank you very much for your nice comment.

Wow! You really put in a lot of muscle work on this. The results are amazing. Thank you for sharing your talent.
Your beautiful message made me very happy.Thanks.
So cool!! A ton of work went into this! Great video.
Thank you very much for your kind message. :)
The operative word here is "almost" impossible. I didn't even know that such a thing could be done. It actually works. You know your stuff. I bet it just comes from tinkering around with stuff. You have a natural ability to fix things. Some basic knowledge of mechanics is all you need. You worked with materials that were not safe for people to be around and mess with. But essential. I can't believe it works!
This nice comment made me very happy. Thank you very much for watching and liking the video. I love to tamper with things and bring them back to life. Of course, I learn as I do. I still have many shortcomings. I hope I will complete my materials as soon as possible. I will take your warning into account, thank you very much, my friend.💜💜💜💜💜
This is amazing! Thank you very much for letting us see it. so interesting, as well!
Kyletta I am so glad you liked my video.
Good Restoration ❤
Thanks Sultan.I am glad you liked it.
Stunning restoration! New sub added!
I'm glad you like the video. Thanks for watching.💗💗
Are you able to use 3D printer at your work place?
I wish I could be there and just to watch what you do hours by hours and days by days.
Amazing talent! You are blessed to have a job that your heart is in it. Lucky you are☺️
Thanks.I plan to shoot live restorations soon. ❤❤❤
I am curious about the layer of mica (looked like glass) that was within the iron. It doesn't seem like you addressed replacing it. It seems it's used because it conducts heat but insulates against electricity. Seems important considering all the metal in the iron. Did you consider replacing it but couldn't find a source?
It seems it's used because it conducts heat but insulates against electricity it is true.The new heating element I installed is a closed one.You can see it at 20:01.Thanks for watching.
@@AntiqueVintageRestoratioNs Got it. Thanks so much for the reply!
I was curious to see the mica replaced and wondered where someone would get such a thing today. Of course much better to have a closed heating element. 😄
So hard to believe that it looks so good and works. Hats off to you.
Maeve thank you very much for your beautiful message. :)
That was just incredible. Amazing work. I can’t believe it looks like that after you were done!
Hey man, I'm so glad you like it. Thank you very much.❤️
Vuelta a la vida. Gran labor!!!. Saludos desde Uruguay.
Te mando un gran cariño para Uruguay. Me alegro mucho que te haya gustado.❤❤
Wow! Such an exquisite transformation. You and those hands of yours are so talented.
Thank you so much!💜💜💜
Beautiful job. Congratulations
Thank you for support.(I did not want sub or comment to your channel.It can hurt small channels at the beginning.But i watched your video.You've done a great job.Generally people prefer not use music on restoration videos.)
@@AntiqueVintageRestoratioNs Great observation. I'm learning to record and edit. I will try to better capture the sounds of the work. Thanks.

Well do for restoring this
iron to its former glory 👍
The old ones are more useful and have become a very functional product. Thank you for watching and liking the video.❤️❤️
Great job done 👍 but if you ask me I would say it was also looking awesome in rusty condition with that little plant 🌿😍
LoL. Thanks for watching. ❤️❤️
😳👀😳
Just wow! You made the imposible, possible!
At first I was very scared too, but the result made me very happy. I am glad you like it. Thank you very much.😊
@@AntiqueVintageRestoratioNs Well, you just didn't know how great you are at what you do! It is like when I draw something and once I see the result is very nice, I go like: did I really do that? And You are very welcome, by the way!
Wow. Outstanding skill.
Your valuable comment made me very happy. I'm glad you like it. Thank you.💙💙💙

Hey friend, I'm so glad you like it.💛💛💛💛
This thing was filthy. Only a true artist can see beauty beneath the layers. :)
I hope you understand these are "for entertainment" purposes only and that this is staged. Think of it like Fox News, fun to watch for some but not a source for legitimate news. 😅
Very kind of you. A very good comment. I am so glad you liked the video. Thank you very much.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for your comment. Yes, this is a stage. But it makes me happy to be able to come up with something beautiful with our imagination and a little dexterity.🙂
That's probably a really nice tea for the Iron Giant
Thanks for watching the video.💜💜
Amazing work as always ❤

Superior....amazing.
Thanks a lot 😊❤️❤️
I've been collecting and restoring very early electrical gadgets from toasters, waffle irons, irons, curling rods etc. as a hobby for a while now from the 1910's to the 1920s. I didn't see any heating elements in the iron so how can it work? If you try plugging it in, you're going to get one hell of a nasty shock or trip the circuit breakers. 😳😁
it has different heating element.Original one was damaged from being in the ground for too long.I had to buy a new one.(at 20:04 you can see the heating element).Thanks for watching.
@@AntiqueVintageRestoratioNs оригинальный элемент был из слюды? Из чего сделан новый, который Вы поставили?
@@sunfun3874 да, мы заменили оригинальную слюду на сталь.
I didn't know what it was before reading the title! It looks like a statue of a mounted horse 😂. What a find and it still works ❤. Think of the hours and hours of the woman who held it. All her thoughts and feelings are in it. Her soul.
I also believe that old things carry emotion in them. Thankd for watching.❤❤❤
This is such a nice thought but also if my soul was in an iron I would be pissed lol
@@raspberry63088 Aw there there dear. 🍎😉
I also want to be restored like this 😀
lol.😀😀😀😀I would also want to restore myself :)
Great job 👏
Thank you Irina :)
That things so old it be looking like Bootstrap Bill Turner, fresh out of Davey Jones’s locker.
Your analogies are excellent. There are many materials from the years Davey Jones lived. As long as you search and find.🙂
É muito relaxante vc ver a peça no antes..... E depois ver a restauração ..... Parabens estou adorando seus vídeos... Abraços de uma brasileira sua fã.🎉🎉🎉🎉🇧🇷

Not asbestos, that's mica. And it's not a heating element, it's a mineral used for electric and heat solation. Actually, but removing it, you're risking an electric shock if touching the metal. And it really looks like that with thin frail layers. It's a beautiful mineral actually. Look it up 😉
Thank you for the information you provided.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lol dental instruments... Love these restoration vids

Painting over the handle instead of using varnish was painful to watch. The rest of the restoration was great.
I'm glad you like the video. I'll take your warning into account.💚
Its plaster or plastic painted like wood look in the cracked paint or the paint protected it from more damage.
Yes, the outer surface is very poorly coated. The chamber has resulted in the preservation of wood. Perhaps if it had been exposed it would have rotted more and could not have been saved.
WHO COULD EVER BELIEVE IT ❗ CONGRATULATIONS BRAVO.......
I'm very glad you liked it and left this nice comment. Thank you very much.💛
