    Few questions on this one:
    - how much fun do you have while cold bluing?
    - how much fun do you have while watching the footage of cold bluing?
    - how much fun do you have while adding these subtitles?
    - how long will your one and only black primer and black paint can last?
    Serious, great job on this one, i love how you took care of recreating that structured paint. Looks all easy on your video, but i think it was a lot of work!
    Oh, the handle looks like something i draw several times a day...think you know...

      -There's nowhere on earth I'd rather be than cold bluing 😆
      -I normally grab some popcorn, sit down and by then the bluing footage is over. The popcorn is promptly thrown onto the floor in pure rage.
      -Clearly too much fun haha
      -I buy the 50 gallon/19 liter cans of overly pressurized black paint, so I'm hoping not to run out any time soon.
      Thanks a lot! It took a while, but I was pretty happy with how the paint turned out.
      Oh trust me, I know what you're talking about 😆

    @jamesmoe9188 3 года назад +3

    Hello again, and congratulations on 10k! Thank you for sharing another project with us! It turned out quite lovely, even if it is a bit unusual in the handle department (perhaps useful for tacking sideways on a vertical surface, such as a large crate?). Love the copper plate, though my personal preference would have been to use oval head screws for the countersunk holes (I feel flat countersunk screws wouldn't match the overall aesthetic of the piece). The only other constructive feedback I could come up with would be to cast (or otherwise shape) a cover plate for the side opposite the handle attachment point, easy enough to mount courtesy of that unused screw hole. As always, I thoroughly enjoyed the process, and hope the ideas are of some use. Until next time, be safe and well!

    • @randomrestoration6858
      @randomrestoration6858  3 года назад +1

      Hey, James! Sorry for the later reply, but I've been pretty busy on my next project. The handle is quite odd. At first I thought that it may have been designed that way to hang on a tool belt, but it really seems unlikely due to how lop sided it would be. I like your idea about sideways tacking, but I found that you can grip the first half of the handle and use it very comfortably at any angle. I did some testing and found that there's no efficient way to hold the end of the handle and still be able to push down the plunger without your hand being in the way. There has to be a reason it's shaped like this, but I really don't know what it is so far haha.
      I totally agree with the oval head screws. The replacement ones were purchased online, and although they were actually oval head screws, the heads were too large and the countersinking would have to be drilled too deep for them to fit well. So I ended up having to file each of them down so that they would fit somewhat well, but like you mentioned, the heads of the screws stuck out more than the original and would have looked a bit better had they been sanded a bit more. The biggest problem with getting new screws is that it's about an six to eight hour round trip to a hardware store for me, so I buy pretty much everything online - The downside of course being that it's sight unseen and isn't guaranteed to fit.
      Agreed, a cover/staple guide on the other side painted black like the rest of the body would look a bit more finished, good idea! As always, thanks a lot for the kind words, and thanks for watching!

    Loved the textured paint and copper plating. The colors go great together.
    I am guessing the weird shape was ergonomically more comfortable to use when it was manufacturered. I have seen old tackers (staplers in US) in offices but none that style. Another great find and restoration.

    OK. So here's a guess...
    Is there supposed to be a base plate on this tool that will close the staple? It would be cast and shaped to attach to the back end of the tool with the "screw for an unknown purpose". It would have a shape to match the bottom of the "weird handle" but attach to the other side. It would then make a base under the whole tool up to the front where it would have a copper plated slide that would have a shape to close the pointy end of the staple.
    What do you think?
    Maybe you could cast one up! 👍

    • @artnels2
      @artnels2 3 года назад +1

      Actually, it looks like this machine was built to be used either way... like a stapler with a full base designed to close the staple, and a tacker to be able to like apply card labels to crates. Handle style for tacking, and a base plate for stapling.

      @@artnels2 It looks like you figured it out already haha! Yes indeed there were multiple variants of this, one of which was a stapler with a base which is shown in the patent you found, the other this tacker with weird handle. I believe the unused screw hole would be where it would normally attach to the base in the stapler variant, and it seems like the holes on the steel staple guide are pre drilled for both versions. Maybe one day I’ll find the stapler variant for restoration and have a complete set. Thanks a lot for watching!

      I ended up using “Aircraft Paint Remover” by Klein-Strip for this project. In the time since this project almost all paint strippers had to change their formulas to exclude methylene chloride and as a result aren’t as strong as they used to be, so they may require a few coats to remove all the paint. I’ve used this brand after the formula change and have been able to strip any paint and japanning (though japanning needs to be scuffed up a bit for the paint stripper to work) with relative ease.

So that text is intentionally fast, but I watched this video back after it was done rendering and I did notice some areas that went by a bit fast and the text should have been up on screen for longer.

      Haha, well the bit I was using was a countersink bit. The biggest problem was the second hole located along the edge of the hole that I was countersinking. It caused the countersink bit to wander around since it was like trying to countersink an oval hole, and thus the great countersunk monstrosity of a crater was born haha. Thanks for watching!

    Very nice restoration, but the video was painfully slow-paced. Way too many shots of screws being removed and many of your attempts to be cleaver added only time to the video.
