Hi all! A bit of a smaller project this time 'round, but I simply couldn't resist undoing the previous owner's questionable choices haha. Like usual, thanks for watching!
Hey man, thanks a lot! The same can be said about yours, thought I haven't had a chance to watch your newest one just yet! Keep up the great work, and thanks a lot for stopping by ❤
I appreciate it, Gaynor! I still question the sanity of whoever thought blue over rust with a cabinet knob was a good look for this hahaha. Thanks a lot for watching!
The end results of pieces like this and old locks is excellent, These pieces always drive me crazy from start to finish, especially surface finishing. I think I need to film it from first to finish for assembly alone. Your explanations are always a value to the project. Thanks.
Hi again! I was almost expecting you to then show us the Cathedral sized backplate lol. That knob was ridiculous, but then some people just want quick fixes. Another fun project. Thanks for sharing.
Hahaha yeah I'll get around to restoring the larger versions of this design, especially since they're both complete sets. Yeah I searched for it on Google images and found this exact cabinet knob in stock on a couple websites for the high price of $2.97 - I guess it's cheaper than getting an actual door knob for it haha. As always, thanks a lot for watching!
Thanks a lot, Craig! Right, designing and manufacturing hardware like this would be far easier today, but we still only get basic looking hardware 🤷♂️ Thanks a lot for watching!
I’ll definitely be restoring the complete entrance version and store door version of this design at some point in the future, but I have a few larger projects planned before I’ll end up getting around to them. Thanks a lot for watching!
Thanks a lot, man! By the way, great job with the plating you did for the plane restoration you did a couple months back! I didn't have time to write the large comment I wanted to, but I know how long it takes to properly clean items (especially larger items like that) for plating, and it takes quite a lot of dedication to get the job done right. Thanks a lot for watching!
@@randomrestoration6858 you are very welcome. Thanks for your comment about the plane. That plating did my head in. It certainly was a challenge on that one piece that proved troublesome. Every time I watch one of your videos I get inspired to look at doing something with a set of Brass candle holders that Mount to the front of a piano. I just don't know what to do with them as they have been in the family for many years.
Yeah plating is very frustrating, especially when 98% of the piece successfully plates and you have to redo the entire thing. That's a tricky one since I know many people (including viewers on RUclips) would prefer to keep something like that in their original condition to preserve their history, unless of course they're in really grim shape haha, but it's also great to be able to see how they looked when they were new!
@@randomrestoration6858 yes I know what you mean. I always struggle with keeping sentimental things original or restoring them. It's a hard decision to make hence why I haven't proceeded with the candle holders. But you do inspire me to do something. How do you find all the projects you work on ?
@@Austeration Haha yeah I've passed on so many potential projects because of that. I appreciate it! I usually find these hardware items either on websites that specialize in architectural salvage, or in many instances eBay. This backplate and door knob were both found on eBay - No real surprise because eBay usually has either terribly rusty items or terribly refinished items like this backplate hahaha.
@@randomrestoration6858 I can't wait. In our tiny town, our church and grandpa & grandma's house are filled with these beautiful pieces. Rather than just another hand drill restoration, it's so nice to have someone bringing back to life these classic, hand-crafted beauties.
@@brycecrousore1985 Having a building full of this hardware (especially when it was freshly installed and shiny all those years ago haha) would definitely be gorgeous! Haha yeah I like being able to focus on unique projects rather than doing what every other channel does! The next video I do won't be hardware related, but I'm pretty excited for the following 2-3 videos which are featuring some pretty cool hardware. Thanks again!
I greatly appreciate it, Tom! I find small projects like these a great way to gradually improve future restorations. As always, thank you very much for watching!
As always, I appreciate it, man! Now I just need the rest of the set so it can actually be put to use haha. I have one smaller video like this upcoming before getting into some larger, more interesting stuff, so stay tuned! Thanks a lot for watching!
Hahaha I usually don't start with smashing items with Bob Rosburg band golf clubs, but I do like to inject a bit of outrageous commentary in most of my videos haha. Thanks a lot for watching!
Thanks a lot, Tim! This is a pretty cool little set - I plan on restoring a complete bronze entrance set in the future which features this design. Thanks a lot for watching!
Sorry for the one week late reply, but it's very likely that I'll gather up all the projects I've done so far on camera - I was tempted to do this for the channel's two year birthday but didn't have time to do it since some of my older projects are pretty buried currently haha. Maybe later this year I'll gather everything up to show them all together though!
Using the cabinet knob as an effigy of the previous owner, perhaps? 😄 Nicely done, as always! Watching you scrape and wire wheel the piece, I wondered if you’ve considered media blasting? Less effort, and very satisfying!
Haha yeah, pretty much! Thanks a lot, Maury! I have considered it, but I unfortunately don't have room for a sandblaster currently. When I'm able to free up some space I'd love to get one since, like you mentioned, it's much quicker and surprisingly satisfying haha. Thanks for watching!
Fantastic work as always. Loved your drive. Perhaps 9 with a small wager? I'm completely unfamiliar with lock hardware. Collar rings, I assume they were a Mfg's choice for alternate shafts. Or, were they available as design elements? Thanks for the fun and today I'm not stealing anything. Especially that screw in the square hole thingx3.
Thanks as always, Mark! I've been practicing my swing for just the occasion hahaha. Generally the shanks (shafts) of the door knobs were the same size for one design - What I mean by that is that the jumbo entrance backplate I showed on camera would have the same sized door knob (and) shank size as this small backplate. I would say the main reason collars were cast separately was because it would allow the backplate to be easily sanded smooth after casting. If they cast the collar and backplate as one piece it would greatly increase the amount of time it took to sand them since the collar would get in the way. Thanks a lot for watching!
Thank you, Samantha! Hahaha right, I can't believe that someone thought this would good in blue with a mismatched modern cabinet knob. As always, thanks a lot for watching!
@@randomrestoration6858 En lo particular queda mejor el color original peltre o el dorado solo. No me gusta como queda con el negro. De todas maneras su trabajo es maravilloso, es solo diferencias en el gusto sobre el color.
@@lucimaria-x3b Gracias por sus comentarios. Planeo probar una variedad de colores diferentes en el futuro que pueden verse mejor. ¡Muchas gracias por mirar!
You are very correct, Jody! I did a test piece before using this on an actual project, and somehow it was pretty much a perfect copper color but this one missed the mark a bit despite using the what I thought were the same ratios scaled up hahaha. With some slight adjustments it should be a bit more coppery the next time 'round! Thanks a lot for watching!
Thanks a lot, Dori! I hope to tweak the color a bit to get something more copper like, but I thought this color was pretty decent. Haha that cabinet knob messed with the wrong guy. Thanks a lot for watching!
You know very well that we have all of these iron made appliances, treated with a nickel plating solution. It makes the finished product rust proof. So far no one has ever used, instant hold solution. The Santa Cruz Ace hardware stores, don't have any of this stuff. 😒
These would have been bronze plated, though you are correct in that many companies did offer the ability to special order different finished such as gold plating, silver plating, nickel plating, etc. Thank you for watching!
Love it! Poor little knob, it didn’t ask to be there. And it never will be again! I was curious if you had any thought process to the way you add the lacquer, why you add the black paint after? Wouldn’t it protect the black paint? Mind you, I’ve never done a restoration so I’ve no idea, just curious.
Hahaha it should have known better! In my video "Rusty 1890s Foot Bolt Restoration" I did do lacquer over the black paint, but I prefer not doing it that way since the black isn't as crisp looking and turns more of a grey when in direct lighting. Since the black paint is only in the recessed areas your hands don't really come in contact with it as much as the lacquered raised areas, and I suspect the lacquer would wear through before any of the black paint - Though I haven't done enough real world use with these items yet, so I could be wrong haha. Thanks a lot for watching!
Thanks for the explanation! Sometimes your work reminds me of my grandparents apartment building. They had these beautiful ornate metal works in the front. The custodians over the years painted over them so many times and has no regard for the way it could have looked with some care.
Like I have said in the past Beautiful job!!!!! When do the classes start? Will you please list the products and equipment that you use. I my not have your skill level but I can sure try with the right stuff. Kim Frion from Milwaukee WI
Thanks again, Kim! Yeah I definitely need to start getting links for and listing the things I use. I can give a quick list here though: For paint stripper I used a gel "Aircraft paint remover" The rust remover I use is Evaop-Rust which I bought a five gallon bucket of I use a Dremel tool with various wire wheels - You should be able to find a variety of wheels for it on Amazon For painting on the lacquer I bought a "Master Airbrush kit" The black paint (for this project) was a simple Rust Oleum gloss black 2X paint For sandpaper I usually just get an assortment on Amazon - They usually include a few sheets of each grit from 120-3000 grit That's pretty much it for this project - I don't think I'm forgetting anything haha. I don't have any specific links for any of these products right now, sorry! I'd like to (in the semi-near future) start listing links to the exact items I use in the description, and update all of my current descriptions, but it may be a little while before I get around to it haha.

I'm keeping my specific lacquer/tint a bit of a trade secret (sorry, Tim!) but there is at least one gold tint that I've come across called "NIKOLAS 2105 SPRAY LACQUER - GOLD TINT ." I haven't tried this yet but I'd like to give it a shot at some point in a future video to see what kind of results I can get with it. Thanks a lot for watching!

Turned out nice bro, have you tried media blasting to remove the old paint from the back and in the details of the piece? It looked like japanning on the back of it.
Thank you, Tim! I unfortunately don't have room for a sandblaster for the time being, but it is something that would have been very helpful (and satisfying to watch) for a project like this! It could have been japanning because it was pretty stubborn haha - Almost all cast iron pieces like this had black non plated backs, but it seems like they usually used the same black enamel paint which was used for the recessed areas, and it usually is a lot easier to remove than the black this piece had.
