Good work there! Congratulations on 1K subscribers! I remember when there were only 50 or so. I have used those gasoline torches and they put out many, many Joules. Ideal for melting the lead that was poured into pipe joints. For fine work, if you can find ab old-time soldering iron you heat that in the flame and then solder. Merry Christmas and happy new year.
Thanks alot! I actually became a big fan of gasoline torches after dumping my butane powered. They may not be as hot as an acetylene torch but their flame volume is huge - many Joules, as you say. Making a hand-sized block of steel red hot does not take that long - and that's all you need for silver soldering! I actually have some old soldering irons - even tried them out. The video I made is called "Old time soldering - A tutorial how NOT to." I guess you can see, how it went XD In conclusion I lack the proper flux to clean the iron before soldering (ammonium chloride is used, I think) - and I made the iron way too hot. After it took me less than 10 seconds to solder it with the straight flame, I kinda lost interest in the irons, though XD All the best Adrian
Very nice machine work! I love those torches!! We don’t have those type here I’m the USA. We have gasoline torches similar but I like the stylish look of yours.
This is a superb video showing us your gifted engineering skills and talents .. too many videos these days show us flashy shiny blow lamps cleaned and presented but fail to go the full mark and light and get them going in real time.. Adrian your skill is superb and the blowlamp is much improved .. hey I enjoyed the old time music as well ... keep us all entertained with individual panache .. well done !
Thanks alot! I'll be honest: I can't stand people that restore old items just to have them as decorative objects. Some might disagree, but in my opinion, these things have all been built to be used on their intended purpose, no matter their age. And that's what makes my hobby so exciting: To see that, even after decades of neglect, it usually takes not an incredible amount of effort to get these things running again, and - let's face it - performing their duty just as good as a modern equivalent. No matter if it is a radio, a clock or a torch.
I just love the shaper that you have Sir. You have a great idea with the blow torch. The lathe that you are using is really different, would it be called a jewelers lathe ??? Well done with the modification on the blow torch. Peace too.
Thanks! It really is a great bit of kit. The watch is a clockmakers lathe. One step larger than a watchmaker's, this one would be used for machining gears and shafts on wall clocks, grandfather clocks and the lot
Thanks! You can silver solder with these puppies, I do suggest getting a low-melting solder though (mine melts at 620°), it'll make your life much easier. Getting some insulating bricks also helps greatly bith larger parts.
@@AstraWerke Nice job with reworking the blowtorch. I have a couple of different Primus torches, both petrol and paraffin. It's true the larger ones are paraffin lamps, but there is some large petrol lamps to be found also ☺️. From what I can understand it's roughly the same flame temperature for both petrol and paraffin. I kind of like paraffin better since it's not as flammable.
@@drunkonkerosene Well, with a parrafin torch, silver soldering and maintaining heat shouldn't be a problem. Whilst less flamable, the Energy contained within a parrafin flame (Joules) is higher than of petrol, which makes them consume less fuel while giving out the same amount of power (just like with a Diesel Engine compared to a Petrol model with the same HP)
@@AstraWerke It sounds familiar. Never the less I became interested in tweaking a petrol torch I have that had quite some beating over the years ☺️. If I remember correct it's from 1938. Funny fact is that most Primus torches and stoves are marked with a letter kombination stating the manufacturing year.
I have this one How long its can flame? Becoz the tank is getting hot and up. May can explode if us for long hours or not? The pressure is still low but the tank is getting hot Sorry for bad english 😊
They're made to be operated continuously. Brass conduts heat very well, that's how its supposed to work: the heat of the flame warms up the tank, causing the gasoline to boil, thus raising pressure.
@@indonesia-unik Well if it's made for kerosene, you should use kerosene. Diesel burns much hotter than petrol or kerosene. In a mix of both, the petrol will boil off first, and then the diesel.
@@71camaro I don't own a Clayton&Lambert - but I haven't had a "bad torch" so far. They all do what they're supposed to do. I only heard that some of these torches have a steel tank bottom which is prone to rust - so be careful. Maybe fill it with water and pump it up to full pressure before lighting it up.
You made one mistake with these. The gas is being burned inside the nozzle. You can see that because the nozzle is glowing really hot in the front and a blue flame is coming out the small air holes. You have to push the flame out the front. you can file the holes down in a 45° angle more like a venturi nozzle and you can also increase the pressure so that the air and gas is pressed out stronger out the front.
Toward the front of the torch where the flame should come out by 45° deg.. The idea is to suck in ambient air throuth the torch gas pressure so you get more air flow and thus a hotter flame in front of the torch. Basically the current holes are straight bore from outside the zylinder (torch) to it´s inside. You want to bore them (or open them up with a file) by say 45° deg. so the air can be sucked in from behind the torch and puched to the front. Hope you understand what I mean. Additionally you can create a metal sleeve to cover up a round of holes if needed and therefore increase or decrease the airflow to create a hotter flame. You will get more control over the flame this way. Look at the video from "Pauls garage" here on RUclips, he makes a torch from scratch to melt metal where he basically explains this. @@AstraWerke
you should turn a new cylinder and use an old torch head and pressure it up with a shrader valve, i kinda wanty to try this out on my own but no lathe :(
@@AstraWerke no i meant to build a heavier wall thickness cylinder, make the threads for the burner then add a schrader valve to pressure it, instead of hand pump. basically a new cylinder and a air valve. that way you could pressure it up with more psi so it lasts longer and burns longer. so the cylinder would be lathed and tapped pretty much for a heavier duty canister. my old one burst open when i pressured it up :(
@@johndowe7003 Whoa, that's one hell of a mod you're talking about! These torches maintain their pressure via flame heat being transmitted into the fuel tank (since they're all brass which conducts heat brilliantly) and making the gasoline boil. At a certain point, increasing the tank pressure won't improve the flame size any more because the limit of what can pass through the nozzle is reached. That limit can actually already be reached with the hand pump, so I think pressurizing it with external media would be a little over the top (except for a very large torch with a big tank maybe)... Especially when you mention yours ruptured! Imagine one of these things bursting and spilling boiling gasoline everywhere - whilst the flame is roaring! I'd rather take a little more time to solder my parts together instead ;-) All the Best Adrian
@@AstraWerke i was thinking of building a whole new pressure tank with steel, adding a psi gauge for about 10psi or 15psi and reuse the same burner Assembly
Well, when I got it, it didn't work at all. I tried making my own valve, it worked a little bit, so I modified it (as seen in this video), now it's working good again.

Btw hard to find kerosene here

You are dam good.

What is the packing purpose for?
And is the Clayton & Lambert a good torch? Thank you...
Keeps gasoline from shooting out the grip end.

Hello thanks for your video - does your torch run on gasoline or kerosine - very nice work by the way
These run on regular Gasoline - only the larger ones use Kerosene.
Trabalho de mestre!!!
What do you mean by Gasoline? in the 1980s we used kerosene, not petrol.
The stuff you put in cars with spark plugs

You have to push the flame out the front. you can file the holes down in a 45° angle more like a venturi nozzle and you can also increase the pressure so that the air and gas is pressed out stronger out the front.
Should the holes face toward the torch or toward the front?
