@Mister Patina It was a pump . That was screwed into the top of a 30 or 55 gal drum. Put it on there and start pumping. Filled it right up. Former Lincoln employee.
@williamkowalchik572 my grandfather was a farmer and used a 5 gallon pail with a pump to refill his grease gun. I dont know if cartridges were even a thing back then. But he continued using it even when cartridges were available here.
Thank you so much for leaving the "little imperfections" and reusing the old parts where you can. So many restorations remove every ounce of history a piece has. Great job.
It leaves character doesn't it. If everything looked shiny like all other new products. You as aa viewer would think you are just making it look like somthing from Canadian Tire 5th isle. But if you leave some marks on it. It actually looks like an item you just restored. Thank you for this point.
I only have one issue with your restorations. They always come out as pieces of art rather than common tools,etc. You sir are a true craftsman. I enjoy your videos so much and can hardly wait for the next one.
Thanks William! Youre right, I basically restore them that way. Every piece is stored in a display after restoration. But: my next Video (release 21. July 2023) will be more like a "used look" restoration ;-)
I love watching you work. You’re so talented, meticulous and your videography is fantastic. You seem to know just what to show your audience and how to show it so we “get the picture”. I love that we get to enjoy the ambience of your workroom with the sounds of your work and the machinery. If I wasn’t so “handicapped “ in the memory department I would have loved restoring things. I did restore antique furniture for a while which was a blast. Now, I just don’t have the place to do these sorts of projects or all the tools. PS; i find it extra satisfying watching you make new nuts and bolts and other parts.
Worked for Lincoln thru the 90's we were using cast iron heads then. Never remembered see pictures or drawings of this one. Looks like a high volume one.
Thank you Mr Patina. After a long day, just have my self a drink and watch your vid. No BS Music just lots of know how. It really helps me to come down.
Marvelous job you did restoring the old grease gun. You cleaned all the parts, replated cylinder with nickel, made new bolts to replace the ones that were worn, and got everything working like a charm. It looks much better too. Excellent work.
Great job, Mr. P. Excellent filming, storytelling, and video! My dad had one similar when I was a kid. That's a memory from over 60 years ago that I forgot I had!😄Thanks for sharing!
So i watch your videos in sections i.e. I pause them cuz I don't wish to finish it, like to prolong the beauty of the work being presented. By the time I finish the video there are over 2000 likes :). Gives me pleasure to know that there are people who value and admire quality. Thanks for sharing & possibly inspiring many to seek perfection as a joy in whatever they maybe doing.
do you just learn to know that some parts are paint coated by look because of experience? I had no idea some were chromed and some were painted until you said something. I totally expected something to be on that little piece of metal. I was surprised there wasn't. But now it has your label and that is awesome!
Thank you so much! I basically know the surface after sandblasting. If you take a closer look, on 3 parts were that shiny silver skin left. The handle and the "main Part" werent shiny after sandblasting, just grey. So I didnt know before ;-)
Nice one. Strange pump handle mechanism, but i really like how the 'squirty' tip is attached to the body. That can take some pressure! Not like any grease gun you buy today . Whole gun looks pretty heavy duty.
Please can you (or someone) explain to those of us who simply like watching these restorations, how it is you can tell that a part, for example the bolt and screw in this restore, is not the original? It's always both puzzled and impressed me a little, as well as knowing that there are parts missing sometimes. Beautiful work on this restoration by the way.
Interesting question. Id say that with enough experience you just can "see" which part matches the others and which doesnt. For example: in this video we had the bolt and the screw. The bolt had such a good fitment (eventough it was worn). But the screw would just "eat" the whole handle with its thread, so it was some sort of "quick fix" one day. Its technically nonsense to put a screw here. Hope you know what i mean.
I've always wondered what medium is best for sandblasting what things, ik my grandfather liked something to do with almonds lol not sure what he was blasting but was fun to watch as a kid and still is now
Hey David, iam sure your grandfather used Almond (-shells?) as a medium. Today walnutshells are pretty common. But all shells/nuts are pretty soft and just for a light cleaning. You can use them where you shouldnt loose any material - carburetors, engines, and so on :-)
Great job. The play in the handle was not from wear. They are made to be loose because the tools are going to be thrown in a bag or the back of a truck. If the handle was tight with no wiggle room then it would cause things to break when it bounces around. Some high end brands would put cork washers on to tighten it but in reality the cork would degrade and crumble after a few weeks due to chemical exposure.
I watched this with Sleepy Kitten. I think it's an important part of his development to learn about sandblasting and cold bluing 😂❤ Also new game: try to read Mister P's tattoos. Korn or Kom? 😂😂❤❤❤
Mil gracias por el video!!!! excelente como siempre, Dios le bendiga esa inteligencia en sus técnicas. Tenia tiempo sin ver algo de lo suyo gracias de nuevo.
Another work of art and a shame to use it although that’s what it’s made for,I’m intrigued about your bike build,hopefully you’ll share with us Love and peace from Ireland
Awesome. I love watching your vids dude. They're always fab and you do such good work. For ages now as well. I really appreciate being able to enjoy the show. Thanks man 🙏. All hail Mr. Patina 👊👊👊 😁. 😎
Should have put bronze bushings in the aluminum body it would last forever that way and you could have made same-size replacement bolts and potentially used the one original I promise the steel did not wear it was the aluminum that wore out. but you made one hell of a wall hanger would have loved to see some lincoln Blue and red on it though.
Greetings from Petersburg! What a naughty lubrication blower - almost every detail was trying to make an escape. Well, in fact, in such lubrication blowers, only the collet in the tip wears out. And so they are reliable and eternal. But this one looks amazing now. It's a pity to even soil it. Great job, Kai! PS. Honda is good too.
нужно было делать не больше болт, а втулку и оставить старый болт, так бы он изнашивал втулку которую можно легко в будущем заменить, а не ушко корпуса шприца 😁
Love your videos! They are amazing to watch, but I was curious why there was so much work on the chrome, the acid and then the Inverted Electrolysis, all for it to be thrown into the sandblasting cabinet? I am sure there is a reason, and the end results were great, I just do not understand the process and why it needed to make some broccoli soup haha. If anyone would care to explain I would appreciate it!
Thanks for your comment! I tried to remove the chrome with acids/chemicals first, because the chrome wouldve remained in the fluid. When sandblasting (always the worst way to do so), the chrome "chips" will remain in the blasting media, or your lungs. So the acids didnt do a good job here, so i had to blast it off (while wearing a mask! ;-))
@@misterpatina Makes sense, had no idea that removing chrome was such a pain! heck any time I have had to mess with it, the stuff was cheap and flaking off. Thank you for the info! Keep up the good work!
Nice Restoration... I personally would have powder coated in black, not grey and the nickle plated parts would be further plated in either brass or gold to REALLY make this pop...
So what did you use to get that old thick grease off with??? Great looking restoration and you did an excellent job restoring it as well!! Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
1:56 - The forbidden toffee. Nice dark caramel colour. Nom nom 😋
I like the bit where you already need to have a grease gun to load the grease gun :D
It gives me Hank WD-40 vibes
Haha, that was the complicated way. I can imagine some sort of "refill-station", where you reload the grease gun with compressed air.

This is one of the greatest restoration videos ever filmed.
Thanks Zach! Iam glad you like it!

Yeah, i always try to leave some signs of time :-)

Perfect timing with the recent review of Brandon Herrera's 15$ Grease Gun 😜 meet u at the Range soon 😉
is...is it you?
You should think about doing a bike build/restoration series. I truly enjoy watching your work!

That's a nice piece of kit that would compliment any vintage automobile or motorcycle. Excellent restoration Mr.P

My son said it looks like it was just created! Great work
Ha, thank you and the Jr! :-)
Restored, rebuilt, looks great and works like a dream. Nice one Mr P.
Thank you so much my friend!

Home for the day and get to watch the artist of restoration! Hooray!!
Haha, hope you had a relaxed day! :-)

Thank you so much Vickie...
Like the meticulousness of your techniques. Well done Sir 👏
Thanks!
5:29 Simax Czech Republic! Wow, it's pretty cool that you use something from my country! 😂 Nice restoration Mr. Patina, as always.
Thank you so much! Yes, its a special "chemical" glass. The quality is superb! :-)
Woah! The Director-Operator Mister P!
Keep it up!
Great job!!!
Thank you so much! I will :-)

That's a really nice grease gun, and a great resto job! They sure don't make 'em like they used to, do they?
Your quality of work and quality of filming have improved, great job man.

So now he just must treat this grease gun like a piece of art

Its "KDM" ;-)
@@misterpatina ha ha. I got it completely wrong! 😁❤
Jaaaa, das dicke Fettrohr hätte ich noch ein bisschen nach getändelt🤣 ne super Arbeit 🎖️🤩
Awesome! Now I want to see your bike
I need to finish it first :-D
Hello Mister Patina beautiful restoration beautifully restored well done
Thanks Vince!
Loving the extreme closeups 👍
It is so relaxing watching these videos.
Dude would love to have this for the WWII jeep I have. Noticed the markings.
That is one sexy looking grease gun. It just looks cooler than the new cheap lincolns you can buy at the parts house for $45
Thanks!
That grease-gun is as beautiful as your bike now!
Thanks!
*_The original is one of my favourite restorations. You guys do top work. Seriously impressive effort and results._*
Thank you so much!
Hooray! Another useful tool for the shop! And I enjoyed the sneak peek of the bike, too... 😁 Gruße! 🙂🐵
Hey my man! Thank you so much! Greets to the wife
@28:40 can we get more information and or a video on this motorcycle? Do you already have a video about restoring it?
Hey, it´s my Honda CB400N. I thought about doing a restomod video, but didn´t. But...iam pretty sure theres a similar project 'rolling in'...:-D
@@misterpatina looking forward to watching it.
LOOKIN' GOOD, NICE RESTO, KEEP SAFE..
WD-40 move was brilliant. Sper nice work and thanks for sharing it with us.
Mil gracias por el video!!!! excelente como siempre, Dios le bendiga esa inteligencia en sus técnicas. Tenia tiempo sin ver algo de lo suyo gracias de nuevo.
Nao sei o que foi mais dificil: se a edição do video para torná-lo compreensível ou a restauração em si. Ambos muito bem feitos. Parabéns !!
It's restored!! Now let's see how long you keep it clean! LOL
i just clean it from the outside, so the internals stay like new :-D
Parabéns!!! Ficou linda a peça restaurada.
Outra coisa... Você está restaurando essa CB 400?
Abraço
2:01 Would have been a fun opportunity to cut to putting caramel on a bowl of ice-cream.
Haha, true!
So beautiful, true art
Thanks Adam, iam glad you enjoyed!
Another work of art and a shame to use it although that’s what it’s made for,I’m intrigued about your bike build,hopefully you’ll share with us

Скрупулезно, тщательно, со знанием дела! Отличная работа!👍🔥
exceptional quality restoration . thank you for sharing .
Great video! How do you make the hexa heads of the bolt?
Очень приятно наблюдать за процессом вашей работы !!! 👍Спасибо !
What a majestic Honda!
Haha, yeah shes sick :-)
Excellent restoration 👍👍👍Thank you for sharing. Be safe🇨🇦
Thanks man, you too!
Nice caulk!
El vídeo dura aproximadamente 29 minutos pero cuántos días te tardas en hacer está restauración, para lograr ese nivel de acabado 🤔
Me tomó exactamente 20 días para la restauración. (incluyendo la edición de video)
Awesome. I love watching your vids dude. They're always fab and you do such good work. For ages now as well. I really appreciate being able to enjoy the show. Thanks man 🙏. All hail Mr. Patina 👊👊👊 😁. 😎
Thank you so much man, iam really glad you like my work!
Great job !!! What is that tool that removes rust and paint?
A sandblaster :-)
Hello from France
nice restoration. Not very digestible your broccoli soup lol
Haha! Thanks!

I wouldn't want to use it as a grease gun....that thing is beautiful
The shop where I worked for many years called really thick grease peanut butter... 😊
Haha, thats a good one!
Well done!!! Very well done!!!
Thanks my friend!
I think those aluminium parts may be an alloy called Mazac or Zamac
I used that cold bluing and it turned it more of a Grey then a black. Am I doing something wrong or does it depend on the type of steel?
It definitely depends on the type of steel you use. Some turn deep black, some brown and some grey.
@Mister Patina oh cool. Do you think hot bluing would have a more consistent color finish?
Great job! Congrats!
Class job mate 👌👌👍
Thanks!

really cool! Nice Work
Nice job, one question, you nickel plated all the parts that needed it but not the end cover ! why?
Sweet done. Cheers man 👍
Thank you so much!
I have a ¾" thick 12" x 3' piece of machined flat and polished quartz countertop that I use as a flat plate.

Nice work
