    How do you recognize a piece like this one and know that it will end up looking like this. I would be so proud to have this lock just to set on my table. Crazy good.

      Thanks a lot, Toni! When I buy a piece like this I know there’s no real guarantee that there isn’t a lot of damage being hidden under the paint, but usually I find that there isn’t. That said, since the paint is so thick on a piece like this it should have protected it from receiving any new scratches or small dings throughout all the years it was painted. Thanks for watching!

    Iam sure there’s something we all don’t know about this guy. At the moment you could recognize the 'face' on this lock, every animal outside totally freaked out. Like some sort of demon animal portal which was reactivated by the restoration. Maybe the 'icebox' he’s talking about is some sort of the underworld he’s trying to open.
    So in my opinion a perfect restoration, cause the animals told us it all worked perfectly fine.
    Hugs from Germany bro! 🙂

    Lovely restoration. And I know this is an old lock but the simplicity of the mechanism surprised me. It's just a latch with a simple item to hold the latch in place. Yes it was for an ice box so not a lot of security was needed even back then (it was more to ensure the door stayed tight to keep the ice from melting). Still I expected just a touch more. Nice surprise

    • @randomrestoration6858
      @randomrestoration6858  3 года назад +1

      Yeah there are a lot of smaller latches like this that are surprisingly very simple. They really went for the smallest number of moving parts and as a result it’s not very secure at all haha. Thanks for watching!

    Ice used in ice boxes for refrigeration of similar foodstuffs in today's fridges around this time that this lock was made were shipped by boat from the arctic in blocks the size of a car. Or in that times terms half a steam train or a stagecoach without horses. By the time it got to point b it would have shrunk just about enough to fit into one ice box depending on precious block size. This industry was alive till the late 1940s.

      Thank you, Rich! It really depends - I found this lock on eBay, but many other hardware items I restore (especially sets, such as the doorbell I recently restored) are purchased from a mix of websites. One part may be bought on Esty, one on eBay, and one from a website such as Olde Good Things in order to get a complete set. Thanks a lot for watching!

    Hello again! I really enjoyed watching this piece, as I find old school icebox refrigerators fascinating. Once again, it is difficult to find constructive feedback for you. You've reached a point where the major limiting factor for you is equipment. For a specific example, the rear cover for the latch presumably fit its opening perfectly, or nearly so, when it was manufactured, and has lost significant material to rust in the intervening decades. You could weld additional material to that plate and make it a perfect fit, to elevate the project further, and likewise for the worn brass, but that's a serious hardware and materials investment for a minimal return on quality. I really feel that both your skills and instincts have become top notch, not only from a functional standpoint, but an aesthetic one as well. As always, I look forward to future projects, and thank you for sharing your art with us.

      Apologies for the late reply, but as always, thanks a lot, James! I totally agree, the biggest limitation right now is a lack of additional tools. A welding setup would be a great addition, as well as a lathe. There have been a number of times that parts have been worn enough to warrant machining a new one, and it would have been great to get them replaced! I really appreciate all the kind words! I have another very cool (and this time broken) 1880s-1890s ornate lockset coming up in a couple videos, and is shaping up to be a great restoration, and has been great fun too. Thanks for watching!

      I totally agree, Dori! Unlike a couple of my other projects this piece was definitely better off without any paint! As always, thanks for watching!

    Excelente este trabajo! Quedó exactamente como a mi me gusta: el hermoso dorado brilloso del bronce al natural! Gracias por el vídeo.

      ¡Gracias! Me divertí mucho restaurando esta pequeña cerradura en mal estado. Me gustaría encontrar las bisagras a juego en el futuro para completar el juego. ¡También creo que el acabado de bronce natural se adapta bien a esta cerradura! ¡Gracias como siempre por mirar!

    Excellent restoration. I am unashamedly going to steal your threaded rivet idea, I have a perfect place on a project I am working on. Thank you for the video, I always enjoy them.

      I appreciate it, Terry! Hahaha it’s a bit of work to get the river lookalike screw but totally worth the effort in my opinion, good luck on your project and thank you for watching!

    Every time I have tried to use a dremel cutoff wheel for anything, the damned cutoff wheel snaps in two! I don't find them very durable, or hence, useful! >:-(

      Hahaha now that is most unfortunate! I haven't had any of the cutting discs ever fall apart on me, but maybe I've been lucky. Thanks for watching!

      Sorry to hear that, Elaine. Right, it's such a lovely designed little lock - Now I just need to find the matching strike and hinges! Thank you very much for watching!
