Adam Savage Restores Vintage Oil Cans!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 июн 2023
- Adam's latest thrift store find are a pair of old oil cans that he brought back to the shop to restore! Not only are these useful for storing and dispensing oil for a variety of needs, but they wear a beautiful patina of use and age. Before they can be used, though, Adam needs to run them through the parts washer and get rid of rust build up.

Thanks for watching!
As you got ready to label the reservoir, I thought to myself, "did he or didn't he check the index on the lid?", I'm so happy you didn't just like the rest of us absent minded nerds. So satisfying, and so perfectly, and completely in the exact wrong spot.
Magnificent
No you didn’t
@bigthumb5831 Oh yes I di-id!
The whole point is to stop anyone else from picking up your tools and scurrying off with them. So the big question to the maker who was about to make off with your oiler would be, "are you the type of person who would put your label in a place like that?"
They'd be paralyzed.
The spring escape ALWAYS happens just as you are 95-99% DONE with the 'whatever' you where doing!!!!
I know that panic moment well!
the only man on the planet who can loose a spring but have a replacement spring from his spring stash 🤣😂💚👏
I have a great shop and a respectable spring stash. But like everything else, Adam has twice what I have, making mine look meager.
Yeah I love how he knew it would be so painless for him to replace it that he didn't even bother to look. I would have spent forever looking for the one I lost, knowing it would take forever +1 to try and source a new one.
I’m always in awe of the leather top to Adams workbench. So much grease and abrasion and abuse. It could be fun to frame it and put it up for a charity auction when it needs replaced-it’s like an abstract oil painting!
Likewise. I'd love when he decides it is time to replace it for him to cut it into pieces to share it among a larger number of folks. Perhaps as keychains or something.
@@peckenstein I had that thought too!
It shows a life… and the grief some people showed when he added the top to the work area, it is just for that reason to be used and abused.
I remember when he received the bench Adam saying he intends to make a messenger bag out of the leather down the road.
@@ReddOchober I think I recall that now too
Anyone else love seeing things from years ago pop up again on Tested? I remember Adam making the cart and adding in the gasket for this parts washer. So fun to see it in use years later!
I was just thinking about that as the parts washer came on. It's like when you watch a tv show over again and realize how much continuity was maintained from the beginning to the end.
Now in a couple of years when he's cleaning some back shelf and finds a spring, I hope I remember back to when he lost it in this video!
Time for Adam to do a tool tips on oils. What is way oil and what does it do?
Love that you show the fails. Lets everyone see you don't have to be perfect.
Anybody who ever insinuates that you have to be perfect is not worth being around
You know he f*cks up every time and happy to repaired it🤔
Honestly the best ever Adam fail moment was on Mythbusters dropping the duct tape down the giant slide. Just the most wholesome “whoops” moments ever.
I appreciate Adam sharing the oh drat - the spring/clip flew away moment. It is always happens when you get excited that everything is working… As for your label being hidden, may I suggest that you may want to make a teflon (as it should inert enough to avoid contaminating/reacting with the oil) gasket that will be high enough to allow your label to show.
Looking forward to the day 5 years from now when he finds it and links back to this video :)
If that happened to me, I'd say "That spring probably needed replacing anyway."
Now when you found a replacement for that lost spring finding it again will be easy.
Gave me a chuckle about the label alignment. Been there, done that. 😄
Reminds me of the Tin-Man from Wizard of Oz - in particular the "pop pop" noise of dispensing the oil. 😊
I have one of each of those types of oil pumps that belonged to my dad (funny how it seems there’s always the pair like a set). I thought they were interesting but never gave them much thought beyond that. Your video has inspired me to clean them up and put them back into use.
Also like someone else said this video was therapeutic to watch so thanks. Also evapo-rust is an amazing product I discovered it a few years ago and now my life is divided into before evapo-rust and after evapo-rust haha
I’m going to go ahead and apologize because I just laughed so hard at you losing that spring.
he didnt even try to go look for it hahah he knows his shop well
@@Aleph-Noll We just have to remember this when he says "where did this come from" when he finds it in a few years.
Schadenfreude, eh?
We've all been there. That heart stopping moment when you realize you aren't finding that spring anytime soon. And you need it. Or tiny screw or whatever. Murphy has decreed that whatever it was you dropped or lost, isn't going to reappear until you no longer need it or it is inconvenient in some other way. Like stepping on it barefoot.
Ask me how i know.
Something something spring cleaning joke
Actually laughed out loud when the label ended up under the handle. So good! Totally something I would do.
I always wished someone would make these in food grade metals so I could use one for Olive Oil
Me too. I’ve been looking for such an animal for years.
the oooo oooooo as you find a piece that fits the project is what happiness sounds like true pure joy lmao
Tip when pouring from rectangular containers like that. Keep them horizontal so they pour evenly instead of the glug glug as air needs to rush in if the spout is on the bottom.
I was going to say just that: handle downwards then rotate around the opening until it starts to pour, then control it like a throttle. I got that drummed into me in my first job, refilling the reservoirs on a photo lab's negatives processing machine - the boss wasn't keen on those chemicals splashing all over the shop!
Norm, I love the fast-forward shots with the real-speed sounds. Beautiful.
For over 80 years that perfect spring has been happily doing it's job and now it's condemned to a dusty corner of the Savage workshop floor - without even a cursory look for it... Baaah!
Seeing those oil cans takes me right back to watching my dad work in his shop.
A lot of his tools and equipment were his father's, so he had some beatiful things.
I always loved popping the diaphragm on his oil can like that to hear the noise, too.
One day Dad got tired of hisoil cans being grungy and leaving marks wherever he sat them down, so he did a cleanup a lot like this, but took it further, shining them up with steel wool until they looked brand new.
They stayed looking nice and clean for a long time.
My brother got all Dad's tools after he passed, and I haven't seen them since.
Thanks for a bright spot and happy memories today.
Just a friendly tip or opinion but I prefer to cut the red and green abrasive pads into 1/3rds. I find them surprisingly more convenient to use that way. Just something we did at the autobody shop years ago. Love the vids and the inspiration to continue to be creative. Thank you to and your team :)
I always learn something new when I watch Adam. I now have to add a springs to my shop supplies.
'Compression spring collection' ... words to live by.
I loved those too! Happy to have heard that sound again!
Watching Adam work makes me miss the early MythBusters. Where they really showed the learning/building part.
Thanks! I feel your pain…I’ve got a full porcelain “textured wood” tile floor that seems to absorb any small/tiny part that lands on it
Adam, regarding springs. The trick I learned in gunsmithing school when assembling or disassembling components with springs do it inside a clear trash bag. You can see what you are doing and the trash bag will catch the spring if it jumps free. Can't help you on how that looks filming said operation. Good Luck! Have Fun!
I'm not going to lie. I saw Adam start to put the lid on that one can after labeling it and thought to myself. "You know with MY luck it would be in the exact wrong place. Adam can't have luck like that."
lol. Nice to see things like that happen to everyone. Way to go Adam for showing that Murphy is alive and well in even the small ways.
Quick tip:
To prevent spillage, when filling something from a container that is large and has the spout on one side... Hold it with the handle facing the container to be filled, I guarantee you will spill far less, if any liquids, from.such containers again.
Adam, maybe an o-ring or rubber washer on the inside of the 'lid' would adjust the label to face front by taking up some of the headspace in the threads?
That's by no means a permanent label, you can easily remove it with a bit of acetone or even alchool perhaps. So it'll be trivial to erase it and relabel it if Adam feels like doing it
Come on guys, it's famous now.
Oh my goodness I have a few of these and want to them work. I'm excited for this
One day you'll be cleaning up back there and find a spring and go "what did this go to?" and it'll pop in your head it went to the oil cans! 😅😂😅
I once lost a microscopic screw and about a week later, the sun was coming through the window and I spotted the shiny dot on the floor :-).
Always baffles me that oilers get rusted shut! 😄
Today I Learned what Way Oil is, thanks Adam . Some of my better made tools are my oldest and thrifted or bought from yard sales.
I've always loved old oils cans since I was a kid
I’ve got three antique oilers. All of them are pre war. Use them regularly.
I use plastic soda bottles with a hole drilled in the cap for oilers for years. A bit of coat hanger wire wrapped around the neck to hang it anywhere. You can see what kind of fluid it is. One for lube, one for cutting oil, and one for solvent. Lasts for years. Industrial machinist trick.
The day he or someone finds that spring will be joyus.
I hope he's seen HandToolRescue... for the true evaporust glory... and that intro *chef's kiss!*
I am happy you were able to spring forward with a suitable substitute.
Lost spring, backwards label, still having a good attitude. Awesome
its funny how you dont even attempt to find the spring that shot off hahaha
Ooo, nostalgia trip... My dad had one of those button dispensers when I was a child. I loved playing with that thing. I think Adam's shop builds/infrastructure could become its own channel: "Savage Makes"
Haha. As soon as you started talking about freeing the spring arm I knew that spring was going to escape somehow. They always try their darndest when you give them the slightest chance.
As far as the push oil can goes, I used those for ordinary machining oil, and it is really useful when using the lathe or drill press, assuming yours doesn't have water-based coolant mechanisms. If you get it really clean... olive oil in the kitchen! Some day you should make a video where you clean up the shop, or a full shop tour!
its amazing what a little tlc can do for your tools and equally amazing the number of people who dont care for their tools.
The Tin man would love the oil and the Evap-o-rust 🙂
When we would clean out old ww2 canteens we often would drop 30 or so copper BBs into the canteen and shake with whatever cleaning solution. Works very well and would likely be very useful in this situation.
Adam, allow me to share the voice of my father that was immediately in my head the moment you swore when the spring when flying. "Lost the spring didn't ya. Well then you best go find it." I can't tell you how man hours I've spent crawling around on the shop or garage floor looking for a spring, nut, bolt, screw, clip, etc. Nothing like building character with the old man. LOL
I’ve never once in my life thought this before….but springs are absolutely fascinating!
Loved this Adam, I have some oil cans like this, one was my fathers (40+y/o) and one my Grandfathers (at least 70 y/o) so I should probably clean them up as my Dad never did !
I hate that silent sound when a "lost" item doesn't make a clean surface contact !
It'd be funny if Adam was all like: "Oh theres the spring!" After the restore is finished.
Ya I also love those old oilers
You made me spill my coffee! 🤣
Charity shops have opportunity for finding culinary oil cans of many funky designs..
Funny how cleaning metal is so satisfying.
There's nothing like the silence after a small piece such as a spring goes flying across the room. I swear those tiny parts enter some kind of wormhole.
And that's why I always do my spring replacement work in the sand blasting cabinet.
You would love working on fishing reels haha 😆. I know your pain but also your joys in macguyvering fixes!
Id love to search the cave for that spring!
Adam - It was great to meet you in person on Tuesday, great vintage content as well! I hope you like my book :)
Those will be incredibly handy if you come across any Tin Men on your walks.
One day you'll be moving things around in the shop and find a random old spring, and it'll click in your memory where that spring came from.
I literally have three of those in my (mostly) wood shop!
I’ve learned to remove springs inside 1 gallon ziplock bags :)
How does the writing end up perfectly on the back side behind the handle 😂🤣
Adam, I like that you have the "ECTO 1" collector's plate just casually hanging out behind your sink like an old sponge 😂. Relatable
I like how the handle transformed it from "Savage Way Oil" to "Sage Wil". This now no longer belongs to Adam, but a Sage named Wil.
Adam, noticed you snacking on Doritos, (by the way, my 2nd favorite type of chip) what’s the first you may ask? Doritos mustard flavor. If you like Chinese mustard I think you’ll enjoy the mustard flavor Doritos. Give them a try.
Felt your pain at the backwards labeling of your oil can. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve done something very similar. Glad you put these kinds of gaffs in your videos. Really enjoy all of your work. Thanks for the smiles.
I never used to wear gloves when using safety-clean, but you really should. That stuff is NOT healthy to be in long term contact with, although it is way better than the old stuff. But even if it was completely safe, like you could drink it safe, it dries the heck out of your skin. To the point the skin can actually crack. And that sucks.
So don't do that. ^-^
i bought a bunch of old oil cans like this in an estate sale and bave a couple nearly exactly like the ones youve just restored that I redid. I used a rock tumbler with steel shot and soapy water on most of the parts then polished on a fabric wheel to get them looking good after decades encased in oil scum. I want to make a couple small holders so they can live on the stands for my tools, im thinking putting one with a trigger with a little holder so that it lives on my band saw, and put another with my drill press for tapping or cutting oil
Excelente me encanta tu taller the cave
I have the same pump oiler and a longer snout pop it oiler. In a copper or brass metal . Several eagle models. When people see them they instantly ask to buy.
When little springy things fly away from whatever I am doing, i always imagine they do this while cheering "Freeeedom!" :) (well, not in English, but in my native language ofc., but you get the idea)
I work on airguns and the tiny little springs in those love to fly as well!
11:37 that's such a lovely mistake, it happens to everyone sometimes
I have one of the pump types from under the house. The other can has a convex bottom, else no squirty pop.
I laughed so hard when the spring launched across the shop 😂😭
Very cool oil cans.
Kroil penetrating oil (Orange can, black letters) is what I would put in the long spout thumb oiler.
Those rags look like surgical towels, we have a bunch of them and I love them. Best rags around. Charles
The rags ARE surgical. He went over them in another recent video.
I do love thrifting and garage sales.
Will you be doing an unboxing video for your upcoming Parts Washer, Washer?
I had a feeling you collected these like I do. Ever since I saw back to the future 3 as a kid and the train engineer had that can with a 3 ft spout for the axles. I found one a few years by the way
Springs will spring given the chance! I hate when that happens too. 🤣 You'll find it in a month or two in/on the most obscure thing.
A good trick is to install the spring with the unit inside a large zip-loc bag.
The sound you’re thinking of is: PER’TWANG!!
At playschool, they called this water play Adam 🤣
I use graphite powder in my pop button oiler its really effective for that.
The kind with the pump on the bottom is called a “bellows” oiler, I can’t remember which book I read that in, but it was a very old machinist manual of some kind.
Tin Man! 😂 I was thinking that’s a WoO oil can!
The minute you finished the writing I thought maybe it would not land on the proper place when the handle was added... next video: "erase indelible marker pen"🤣
you know someone’s been making for years when, upon losing a spring, instead of looking for it, they go to their spring collection
I still have several of these cans that I use often on my cattle ranch. If they are in constant use they wear out VERY Slowly. The most I have had to do to these type oil cans is flush them with a little solvent and replace the cork O Ring. Yes I said Cork O Ring some have rubber but it is the cork ones that are more interesting and fun to work with. I actually took an old wine cork that I sliced up and weaved together to make an o ring for one I couldn't find the right size for. The poor oil can sat nearly unused for 7 months while I figured out in my spare time how to do it right. 15 or 20 test cork board cuts later and I stumbled into the optimal "Mostly" ... non leaking cork o ring with a little luck.
The old is sometimes the better one compared to the new designs.
God bless quality.
A kid in a candy store. I love it.❤️
You need one of the magnet on a stick things. Just run it around the general area from where you think the spring went and it should pull it to it.
Bro you are awesome
Nice job Adam! Nice oilers, but you simply must have a few antique Eagle No. 66's in your shop! They are currently all the rage in the oil can community LOL. Both in form and function, they simply can't be beat! One is good, but 2 is even better, should you need to engage in shop battle, they have a firing range of 20 feet! Ebay has a good selection, but they are getting spendy. You can grab a good used one for $30, but NOS ones are commanding $250!!
I wish I'd taken the grimy old pump oiler I found in a box on the curb once, but I also didn't have the kind of equipment to clean it properly
