Hey Guys, As you have probably noticed already i have updated the channel name and logo. The channel is no longer Really Random Channel it is now RRC Restoration. Just incase you were wondering why the water marks in the video still say Really Random Channel. Enjoy.
That was amazing! I just found one of these at my local dump. I thought I'd make my own restoration video for my channel. It won't be anywhere near as in-depth as this though. My favorite part was that you didn't wear gloves while cleaning it. You weren't scared to get your hands dirty and went old school like a real man... respect 😎👍
@@RRCRestoration certainly was, at the time everyone had plastic curtains in the bathroom's, I was wiping a joint on a lead pipe, joining lead to copper. You melt the solder onto the joint and wipe it round with moleskin cloths soaked in tallow. As the solder melts it drops down into the cloth and you wipe it round forming the joint. As you do this you hold the blowlamp to one side. Of course the ladys new plastic curtains with the sea shell and fish design just went up in flames lol
@@johnblackburn7673 Best thing about handymen at work are the stories.. lol I enjoy the comments as well as the actual Video:-) Thx for sharing ... .Greetings from Germany sends Bea the Carpentiere
Bought one at a boot sale years ago. Worked first time, have been using it cause its so cheap, only a small amount of parafin lasts for ages. Would never have figured out how to use it without RUclips - thanks
Love your restoration work mate, but love your sketchy grinder even more. That’s a national treasure and will probably outlast you. The bearings on your drill press, now that’s another story. 🇦🇺👍
Haha yeah the sketchy bench grinder just wont give up. The bearings on the drill are on my to do list im sure ill get around to it eventually. Thanks for leaving a comment :)
Nice to see you again, Im glad you like it :) Ive got a few more small projects lined up before moving back to finishing the Subaru and kicking off this years Big-ish project ;)
Nice to see you again ;) Thanks very much for your kind comment. Next new video will be out next Monday, trying my best to get back to a weekly schedule.
Hi Mr RRC Sir wow your talents are endless, the trouble you took over that handle I thought for a minute you were going to flat & polish it HE HE ! as for Scotland & the rain that's as maybe but up there you have the best landscape & open spaces a lot better than down here in the south, there's always a trade of, we think the grass is greener the other side but it still needs cutting, ATVB to man, Wayne postage stamp south He.
Nice to see you again :) I did consider polishing it but, i felt it would look out of place with it being the only polished steel piece on the lamp. Very true sir the climate is a small trade off to have all the open space to play in ;)
What a job! What a transformation! Better than new. In the beginning of the video you washed all pieces in a chemical. What did you use, and for the rusty handle you used an other chemical.what was that. Well done !
Nice resto.....I am actually in the middle of a Primus 630 from 1954 myself. That leather washer have to be a different shape though. It is usually not just a flat disc, but also have sides bending downwards. This way, the air can pass trough from the top, but not come out the same way. The size of my Primus barrel is 13,7 mm, but I am sure it's the same principal...
I restore brass blowtorches with acid (citirc - food grade) which removes all of the tarnish from the brass without agressive abrasive materials and tools. the only problem is where ther is steel parts, but the brass body like yours with the handle atached can be suspended so that the steel part is not in the acid. just as you did with the rust remover. Then all that is needed is a polish with Brasso etc. No wire brushes or grinding.
I love these type of restores, great job. I did one myself last year on a Erikssons 3 Crowns blow torch and it was satisfying. Just FYI, the leather gasket you put back in there should really be a cup shape and not just a flat disc. You were also lucky in that the check valve in this torch still seems to be working else you would be leaking fuel back up into the pump housing like mine did...sigh. Also, I noticed in the video that there seemed to be some leakage/bubbling coming from the hex nut holding the nozzle assembly, might need to tighten it a bit more? The only thing I didn't do on mine was polish the flame tube as I was thinking that turning the thing on would just blacken it again anyway. Keep up the videos!

Is the owner a railway engineer at all? Characteristic puffing sound... When cleaning nozzles, it’s a good idea not to use thin pieces of wire as they can disrupt the fine tolerance of the original nozzle. A good solvent and an air compressor or Airduster aerosol can move pretty much anything without altering the nozzle size or shape. Just a thought for the next one. It might be an idea to remove the nozzle again, as you said, but also include a long pipe cleaner along the supply tube from the fuel reservoir as there may be contamination in the supply tube. Nice restoration - I’m certain the owner will be thrilled to see it working!
as a child i watched my Dad fire up his blow torch to burn off paint from the window frames. I recall there was a device called a pricker which was used to keep the atomiser head clean .... when it was running !!
Hi,I hope my restoration evoked a few good memories for you :) Thanks for the info i'll need to have a look for that tool as i have a few of these blowtorches.
Hi, Thanks for leaving a comment. Your absolutely correct the leather disc should be a cup shape but i didnt have any so a thick leather washer made to the perfect size was substituted and it works perfectly ;)
@@RRCRestoration but it won't work for long.... thin leather is not hard to find just look around the house..old shoes...old belt... and get or make a punch set of various sizes..its not too hard either just lathe up some tubing of various sizes and voila!...I will never understand how you restore channel types with all your tools never seem to have the right tools for the jobs when you have everything you need to MAKE the tools...you should do a couple of Vids on that! ..Also if there is more to do to get it working properly then don't get lazy with a text crawl at the bottom of the screen...FIX IT and show that .

A person does NOT have to make his own videos in order to have an opinion on seeing someone elses.
What’s the name of the fine wire tool ,used for cleaning out the jet hole? Or does the strand of wire off a wire brush do it ok, ie won’t enlarge the hole,thanks
Nice job! I have a British Monitor Made No26 Paraffin Only blowtorch that I picked up from an antiques dealer. Cannot for the life of me figure out how to get it to work though. Cant seem to maintain pressure I think, so not vaporizing. Any tips anyone?
Thank you :) If its not maintaining pressure the only thing i can think of is one of your seals have gone either that or someone has drilled the jet out and is now far too big and the fuel is just flying out rather than being held back and being able to build up pressure to keep itself running. Hope this helps.
@@RRCRestoration Thanks....I'll keep at it. Replacing the leather pump seal has helped a bit with the seal, so it hisses from the fuel cap hole now. Dont know exactly why there is a hole in that nozzle.
do you think it would be worthwhile to break out the dremel and brass brushes on that knurling before the files? It may have saved a lot of effort. Good job btw.
Brilliant video can I be cheeky and as you where you have got your file set from I have some but can never find them because they are all over the place
I really like your video, but have a few questions on this item. You are using paraffin for fuel ??? How safe is using this item ??? Can this item explode ???? Thanks
Thank you, Yes i am using paraffin for fuel as that what the lamp is designed for. Its very safe to use if you know what you are doing with it and are responsible, ive never heard of one of these exploding but i cant definitively say it couldn't.
@@RRCRestoration Can you please tell me more on the paraffin ?? Did you melt the wax ??? A little more information for the uninformed would really help Sir RRC. Thanks and peace too.
I always end up in a giant fireball if i use paraffin based fuel...Kerosene is much more manageable and easier to use. Although i know you cant get it so easily in the US...here in sweden it costs 3,50 usd /liter
started out as a bucket of rust,finished brand new,,,i had no idea it runs on lamp oil,how can you vaporize that heavy stuff ? i figured kerosene not parafin
It looks like the asperating nosel is a little too bored out. It appears to be allowing too much condensate to pass through. It wasn' t making near enough of a hissing / whistle sound. A mere observation, it could also be that I'm not actually present.
Hi, As far as im aware paraffin is nearly identical chemically to kerosene but it has a few things removed to make it cleaner burning for indoor use. Hope this helps.
@@RRCRestoration Thank you. The only type of paraffin we had growing up was the wax that I think people melted and poured on top of jellies or jam during the canning process. Love watching your work.

I am a Plumber we were still using these when I started serving my time lol...and I still have it in working order. Great restoration
Nice, I bet there was a lot of accidental scorches left everywhere at the time of these blowtorches haha. Glad you enjoyed it :)

Lovely job. I must get round to attacking my Great Grandads Primus stove, and get it looking brand new like your blowlamp.

Nice job. Do you remember the battle of Dunoon?
why is the flame green,is the nozzle copper?
what did you make the gasket out of for the primer pump ?
started out as a bucket of rust,finished brand new,,,i had no idea it runs on lamp oil,how can you vaporize that heavy stuff ? i figured kerosene not parafin
It looks like the asperating nosel is a little too bored out. It appears to be allowing too much condensate to pass through. It wasn' t making near enough of a hissing / whistle sound. A mere observation, it could also be that I'm not actually present.
