- 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.

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
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.💙
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.💜💜
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.💚💚💚
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.❤❤
Where the hell was this?? Inside the Titanic??
ust waited outside for a long time.Thanks for watching.
Artificially ‘aged’ to make the ‘restoration’ seem more legit.
@@Julmaa87 Really? Pray tell, how do you get rust to form like that "artificially"?
@@Khrystyna853I’m not going to judge the authenticity of the channel, but the rusting is the easy part, plenty of guides on how to do it online. What you can’t easily fake is *pitting*, where the rust has eaten away at the metal. Now obviously there is some pitting on the iron, but it’s fairly superficial compared to the amount of crap that was caked on it. There are plenty of restoration videos where the item isn’t half as rusty as this but has some severe pitting that either requires filler or adding more material via welding.
@@TheImpossiBelle And then, there are plenty of instances in real life, where I, for example, have actually personally found old items in barns with this amount of rust on them, where the rust had initially formed so quickly that it sealed the item inside it, thereby preventing a lot of the pitting. Believe me, there are enough compromised items out there that deserve restoration, that people do not have to fake it. They'd still have to do the same amount of work to restore the piece, anyway - which is really the point. The energy and care of the restorer tells the true tale of their respect for old things, and how satisfying the process is when the restoration is successful. Most restorers would not take the chance of ruining an antique by deliberately compromising it. But, some people are cynical and miserable, and just want to hurt others with a crass comment, like the one above. Being an artist and restorer, I take it a bit personally. It's just too bad that some people aren't happy unless they've spoiled things for others...
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.❤️
That is beyond impossible. Your patience is incredible.
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. :)
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.❤️❤️❤️
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.
It shines just like a mirror and works so well…😊😮
Thank you for watching the video and sharing this valuable comment with me.💙💙
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.🖤🖤
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.💛💛💛
I also want to be restored like this 😀
lol.😀😀😀😀I would also want to restore myself :)
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.❤
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.
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. :)
Отличная работа.Приятно смотреть на работу мастера
Большое спасибо.❤️
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 😀.
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.🤍🤍
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.❤️❤️
Love watching the restoration videos. Magnificent!
It's great to see you here. I'm glad you like it.💛💛💛💛
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.❤
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. ❤️❤️
😳👀😳
Congratulations from Brazil! Great job!!
Thank you so much 😀 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
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.
True craftsmanship!
Thank you Cherilyn
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). ❤️❤️❤️
Hats off to your hard work
Thank you very much for this beautiful and valuable comment.🖐️🖐️
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.❤️❤️❤️❤️
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. 😄
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.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
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.💚💚💚
very successful project , i appreciated the process of the transformation .Thank you for sharing this video and good luck to your channel.
You are really smart! Your videos are really entertaining to watch!
I'm so glad you like my video. Thank you.💛💛
Hard to believe that's the same iron. Wow!
I'm so glad you like it. ❤❤❤
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.
Был у меня лет 40 назад вот именно такой утюг. Первый электрический утюг без регулятора нагрева. Достался мне от моей двоюродной бабушки "в наследство". Я сожгла этим утюгом даже обычные хлопчатобумажные полотенца для кухни. Он нагревался до такой силы, что нужно было постоянно отключать от электросети. Без дополнительной влажной тряпочки между одеждой и утюгом пользоваться нельзя. Одежда обугливается при первом же прикосновении.
С этим утюгом с такой проблемой не сталкивался. Жена сейчас им гладит одежду. Пока ничего не пригорело. Так как температура у него высокая, он быстрее заканчивает свою работу. Мы довольны. По крайней мере, они лучше. Качество превосходит новые утюги.Спасибо за просмотр видео.💙
You did a great job!
Thank you! Cheers! ❤❤
So cool!! A ton of work went into this! Great video.
Thank you very much for your kind message. :)
You are so talented! I loved watching you transform that iron!! Great job!
I'm so glad you liked it. Thank you very much.❤❤
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.❤😊
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.😀😀💚💚💚
Good Restoration ❤
Thanks Sultan.I am glad you liked it.
Stunning restoration. So glad that you saved the handle. That iron is a work of art!
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.💛💛
Stunning restoration! New sub added!
I'm glad you like the video. Thanks for watching.💗💗
I guess when my nana said old things where made to last she wasn't wrong. Modern day version of this would had the handle gone and the rust would have eaten holes all-over.
You are so right.The thick coating prevents them from rusting too much.❤️❤️❤️
Мастер на все руки.Браво.❤
Я рада, что вам понравилось. Большое спасибо.🖤🖤
Wow. Outstanding skill.
Your valuable comment made me very happy. I'm glad you like it. Thank you.💙💙💙
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.

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. :)
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.
That was amazing. It looks real good. 😀😀
I'm so glad you like it. :)
Lol dental instruments... Love these restoration vids
LOL.You are right.Restoration is a vital task. :)

Patricia I am so gload you liked my video.❤❤❤❤
You know That’s Right!
Bravo... beautiful work, Thank you
Hi man. I am very happy that you like the video. Thank you very much.💚💚💚
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.💜💜💜💜💜
That's probably a really nice tea for the Iron Giant
Thanks for watching the video.💜💜
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 :)
Здорово!! Молодцы!!
Я рада, что вам понравилось. Большое спасибо.💜💜
Great job it looks really lovely and gorgeous 👍
Thanks Alan .You put a smile on my face :)
Amazing Transformation.
❤❤❤ Thank you Michael .I am so glad you liked it. :)
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.🙂
Wow impressive the restoration was perfect, congratulations. 💜💜💜
Marcia thank you very much for your nice comment.
@@AntiqueVintageRestoratioNs 😀
Mi madre tenia una igual, hace mas de 60 o 70 años. Cuánta nostalgia....
Son realmente muy útiles. Son de mejor calidad que los nuevos. Conozca su valor.🖤🖤
@@AntiqueVintageRestoratioNs no lo dudo... Lo antiguo se construía con calidad duradera. Ahora todo se hace precariamente para que tenga fecha de caducidad... Tenga usted mis respetos
綺麗になっていくって気持ちいいですね。また、使うことができるのも最高❤

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
