You’re the only guy I see on RUclips that uses automatic transmission fluid and acetone for removing Rusty hardware. I’ve been doing this for years and it works great.
@@OldThingsNeverDie- I hope you cleaned that bulb after touching it bare handed. The oils from your skin will burn it out super fast otherwise... And did you get a ballast for it so you could turn it on? Any grow store should have them
On paper this looked like a pretty straightforward restoration. But the more you tore it down, the more you revealed a lot of deceptively fussy and detailed nooks and crannies. What a great video. And I agree with Cool Again Restoration: great editing and camera work.
I think the most amazing thing is that the bulb still worked, amazingly. Goes to show you how well things were made back in the day compared to today, where things are made to be fragile!
Mercury lamps like those have an effectively indefinite lifespan. There are units from the 70s that have been on 24/7 and still output light, though at a greatly reduced brightness compared to when new.
We used to call these FLP Lamps (for Flame Proof Lamp) the whole thing is sealed from the outside air so there is no chance of any gasses being ignited. Great job again. New Subscriber.
Very well done, I appreciate how thorough you show your process from start to finish, including the materials you use and how you overcome imperfections/obstacles. I used to watch a show called "Rick's Restorations" (An American show about restoring antiques) and I always hated how they never showed the process, it was all just filler/b-roll of the workers using angle grinders to make sparks or the family arguing with each other. I always wished they would have shown their process but I suppose that's the difference between Reality TV and an artist on RUclips
The sounds and images are so clear. I feel so relaxed watching this video. I appreciate all of your efforts in restoring something back to a beautiful state, perhaps even better than original. Thank you so much for sharing. It's helped me to and my day positively!
Nice work! And I just have to say... that bulb is comical. 😆 It's like someone handed the designer one of those little holiday window candle bulbs and said 'Exactly like this, but 1000% larger'.
... отличный газовзрывобезопасный фонать, к меня такой-же в бане висит, особенно нравится пескоструйная обработка, молодец мастер, здоровья тебе и удачи во всём!!!
Этот промышленный светильник воистину эпичен! И работа проделанная мастером соответствует. Отдельно хочется отметить бетонные работы и мастерство оператора и монтажёра!
Very nice use of materials here. I like the Graphite Wax--it produced an excellent finish that retained and highlighted the previous wear marks and was a beautiful contrast to the shiny powder-coated housing.
hello and well done. many years ago i worked in the mechanics shop of a cotton mill in Lancashire. we had these lamps in strategic places where there were inflammable materials and they were called " Explosion Proof" lamps
An amazing restoration I learn so much watching folks like yourself take on these projects. Your attention to detail is spot on. BTW I really love the powder coating finish and color? Bravo!
That nickel coat against the soft golden color is really understated and looks great, would have been too showy to use chrome and you knew it. Mapelec would be proud!
I saw in the last images this beautyfull lamp came from Amiens in France. What a work to make this thing travelling throw the time directly to the 21th century, it's so old and new now.
Very nice job. I work with those fixtures all the time (new versions) and you did a great job. The small clevis on the top is for a backup chain restraint. You can use the main eye on the top to hang the lamp with its primary attachment. Again - nice job, looks beautiful, and kinda neat.
Really nice restoration! I actually like seeing electrolysis used - it is great at taking off rust and paint on those large pieces. The powder coat looks great. The light is perfect for any neomodernistic post industrial home! 😆 Great video! 👍
Im really imprest what you did to this lamp. I found one my self two days ago from french be ship it to denmark. The condition of my lamp is really good not so much rust as yours have. 😊😊😊
Bravo et merci pour la restauration de cette belle pièce d'origine française très beau travail elle est reparti pour une deuxième vie , 🙂👍cordialement. Nathalie France Normandie
Absolutely outstanding job. That was a big job and you did it splendidly. Just a tip if you ever have to replace the seal you mixed and used the funnel to pipe it around the glass; use a baking piping bag. Cheap, disposable and gets you media to where you want it. Great job mate.

It's a tip i learnt from my friend of cool again restoration channel 😉
I think brake fluid works better. It's highly corrosive.
I learned that one myself from an aircraft mechanic from WW2
Well atf is a detergent. But I've used it on my razor blades for my pocket knife many times. Great solution to keeping them less rusty
is this a newer fixture he accelerated the rust?
There is a lot of work on this project, congratulations :-) love the color !
Thank you buddy 🍻👍
Awesome to see you here love your channel!
Every time I see content creators supporting each other it makes me smile. Keep up the awesome work, everyone!

@@scthomas1982 You don't need a ballast on a 240 system.
god i love old industrial aesthetics, i would absolutely use this for interior decor

I'm glad he put the arrow in the thumbnail, I wouldn't have seen the lamp without it.
I love that you gave the bulb a pat 😂 an 🇦🇺tshirt.
I love that something younger than me is considered antique! 🤣🤣 Nicely done and what an awesome addition to your outdoor space. Good job.
That must be an interesting phenomenon!! If only there were restoration workers for our bodies as we get older… 😝
Those were great days of the American manufacturing industry.
I am an old restorer in the States. Don't know which I admire more; your work or your presentation. Flawless on both counts...
Saw someone uploaded this to TikTok but I’m glad that the OTND logo was in the background so I could find it here. Good stuff !!
Loved it. Restorations of small things are good, but once in a while, it's great to see big things being restored. That's one big monster of a lamp.

wau einfach nur wau wie du altes zu neuen leben verhilfst einfach mega deine video´s
Seeing it light up at the end brought a smile to my face (:
Thank you for taking the time to restore these old things.

thank you that you have saved the lamp!
tu est un champion de la restauration, je félicite, bonjour de France
The fact that the bulb still worked after so many years is simply amazing.. proud to be a philips user 🤣
The editing, the craftsmanship, the hard work... All of it is excellent. Great videos here
Likely the very highest production values of any restoration video I've ever seen, not to mention the quality of the restoration itself. Subscribed.
Never ceases to amaze me how many parts are in one given item!! What a cool light and what a great job you did¡!!!!!!
Beautiful object and great restoration. I particularly love the attention to detail on the red information plate.
Nice refurbishing project. Old things can still be used if you take the time to rebuild them. Thumbs Up!
Bravo! Great job. That is one substantial fixture. It deserved to be saved, especially by someone with the talent and expertise.
The way you edit your videos is amazing 🤩 also the job was well done 👏👍🏻 cheers Nic. 🍻
Thank you David, cheers 😉🍻
Every time I see content creators supporting each other it makes me smile. Keep up the awesome work, everyone!
Old tools die and they come back new forever
i love to see you restoring this lamp!
That this still works. Amazing. People in the past did built things to last forever, today shit just breaks so quick.
The sounds and images are so clear. I feel so relaxed watching this video. I appreciate all of your efforts in restoring something back to a beautiful state, perhaps even better than original. Thank you so much for sharing. It's helped me to and my day positively!
Outstanding craftsmanship.
Two thumbs up! Great color choice.
It's like an Excel car tub cover made to last hundreds of years. Wow!
I'll check back in 100 years when this lamp needs another restoration :)
Watched a few of your Restorations. Super Work. You French are the best at restorations.
Wow, you gave that lamp an new live! What a beauty! And it shines so bright! Thanks for that detailed and clear steps! What a work!

Very cool french stuff 🤩
Nice work! And I just have to say... that bulb is comical. 😆 It's like someone handed the designer one of those little holiday window candle bulbs and said 'Exactly like this, but 1000% larger'.

очень интересно. какой у этого фонаря вес?!))
You did it again 😎 Wonderful job my friend, watching this vid like a movie. Where are your million subscribers ? 🤔
This channel is like if Kiwami Japan was French and significantly less bizarre. I absolutely love it
Love those old pieces of industrial design. You did a superb job of the restoration and I love your choice of colour.
Marvellous! You turned that old rotten lamp into a new one. That's magic!
This is one of the best produced youtube videos I've ever seen.
The light bulb still works wow. Très chic, et bonne travail
Beautiful transformation!
At first I was like "wait, where's the neutral on the plug ?" then I remembered you are in France. :) Great video and great restoration.
Wonderful! The cement casting part is even more wonderful 😁
Great job on antique factory lamp restoration old thing never die 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Wow, what a fantastic job. It looks awesome! You brought old history to life again.
This video made me speechless as always. Your videos are definitely a movie. Love your content, I look for it!

Eine wirklich gelungene Restoration. Super!
It's an absolute pleasure to watch you restore anything!
Another great piece. Amazing that the bulb still worked.
Fantastic reno, looks amazing 👍👍👍
Great job ! But wait , "Danger d'ouverture sous tension" ? COCORICO !!!
Brilliant workmanship
hello and well done. many years ago i worked in the mechanics shop of a cotton mill in Lancashire. we had these lamps in strategic places where there were inflammable materials and they were called " Explosion Proof" lamps
Good job. Thanks for posting.
That is so cool... it still works after all these years... can tell it was built in the days that things were built to last.
Love this restoration!

Looking better & brand new on LAMP 👍👍👌👌

Loved this! The colour was gorgeous too. 💡

magnificence of craftsmanship 🤩
When you pressed the switch and the old bulb lit up, that was fantastic.
I always think with these restorations, the history of the items. The things they must have seen. Neat to think about.
I like your style! Creative filming and editing along with a great restoration!
Not only an amazing restoration but the presentation of your videos are some of the best I’ve seen. Great work! 🔨
Another restoration done incredibly well. Excellent job.
What a restoration ! You are a magician.
Love it! The way things were so over-engineered, is just awesome!
omg. i love this so much. it turned out beautiful.
That is one beautifull vintage industrial lamp and nice restoration. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice work, a good word to describe you might be artist.
Браво маэстро. Спиздил лампу с фонарного столба и восстановил. Теперь повесь на место)))
Bravo et merci pour la restauration de cette belle pièce d'origine française très beau travail elle est reparti pour une deuxième vie , 🙂👍cordialement. Nathalie France Normandie
I would not consider this an antique but it is a damn good restoration! 👍🏻
Anything one-hundred years old or older is an antique, but you're probably right.
Another amazing and beautiful restoration. Thanks for sharing.
Great video - excellent choice and very satisfying.
Very good. Congratulations. Hugs from Brazil
I love that! Wicked restoration :) ❤
Now that’s what I call a lamp! Definitely looks like it came from a factory or large building.
Yes, i tried to restore it at original as much as possible 👍
a masterpiece of workmanship .. great stuff
Looks great ⚙️
This was very interesting. Best electrolysis ever.
You should totally lathe turn a steel post for that to stand on and make it a giant area lamp that would be sweet. Great save and great restore!
Hi
These kind of lamps, don't like the on/off switching in a short time.
Just a tip from an old electrichian.
Awsome restauration.
Absolutely outstanding job. That was a big job and you did it splendidly.
Just a tip if you ever have to replace the seal you mixed and used the funnel to pipe it around the glass; use a baking piping bag. Cheap, disposable and gets you media to where you want it.
Great job mate.
Good call on the piping bag. My wife has a load of them in the kitchen. Very handy, just like her butter knives.
Great restoration! That light is a conversation piece for sure. Super cool!
Fantastic!! Your skills for restoration and editing are top notch!
It's amazing how beautiful the lamp was once it was restored. Well done! Also, your editing is superb.
