      Dude, poor the cold bluing agent into a separate glass container and dip in that with the acid brush. Going back-and-forth to the main bottle contaminated your source. You would've gotten way better results with it. I've turned steel midnight black with the stuff.

    amazing to find that the key wasnt actually made for this lock. someone back in the 1800s mustve tried unlocking it with the wrong key by mistake, found that it got stuck, and tossed it, now hundreds of years later youre here restoring the thing, and making that damn key fit lmao.

      @coleandclaire4675the 19th century is the 1800s. Commenter was correct.

    • @Pics2FlicksDennis
      @Pics2FlicksDennis Year ago

      @coleandclaire4675, actually, this lock could’ve easily been manufactured in the 1800’s. Its style is consistent with myriad locks from that period. Could also be from the 1900’s, but my guess is mid to late 1800’s

    I was fascinated the entire time. I love seeing history restored like this. To think someone spent just as much time making the lock. Working on something for it to just rust away for hundreds of years. Until it was lovingly restored back to what it should be. Great job!
    Also the key being wrong was fantastic

    • @weylontheweird
      @weylontheweird Year ago +6

      So a little research I did:
      Health risks for the amount of rust. It can cause it to become airborne and lead to inhaling the rust dust.
      Damage due to age, it's old and sand blasting is REALLY abrasive.
      Degradation of material. If the metal has softened or become brittle overtime, it can cause it to break down or fall apart faster.
      And, yes, the sand blasting machine is stupid pricey. 1 year late but I hope this helps. ❤
