As your dad I’m a little prejudiced but you took this restoration to the next level. Many people don’t realize how much time it takes to do this whole production from the restoration itself (including Photoshop work on decal) to hours of editing. And a few calls to old dad to get some input😜. Very proud of you. Keep it up👍

Hello Martin, I have a lot to ask you fella. Hope that is all right. Be honest with me on the safety of this gasoline blow torch. Somehow this cannot be safe ??? Gasoline in your hand somehow just cannot get someone into trouble ??? Can you please give me some information to put my mind at ease ???? Thank you Sir Martin for you time also.

I just picked up the same one at a flea market! I had the same urge to make it some beautiful shelf art, but after watching your involved video I’ve decided this thing is meant to be dirty and I’d better just leave it that way. But I do intend on making it reliable to use at the least, so I really appreciate this video for seeing all the inner workings!

Very impressive restoration of this kind of blow torch. Awesome craftsmanship.

Really beautiful restoration. Good job 👌👍

Inspires me to restore mine to working condition. I don't think my 1920s/1930s blow torch has been lit since the 1970s or 1980s and probably before it wound up at the antique store where I purchased it, the torch probably sat in an old person's shed or garage for years.

I like your restoration decisions. you didnt try to grind out all the little imperfections and left them. it adds character and tells its story.

Now That is a proper restoration, and not just buffing it up, are painting a tool, and declaring you restored it. Very very nice work, and you've made yourself proud, by doing it the right way, and that's never the easy way. Yet, it's easier than doing it the second time. I already read your Pop's comments, and his chest busted the buttons off his shirt it swelled up so big. So it's obvious his feelings about the efforts you applied in a few pieces of shiny brass, and all that goes into a excellent video. That, and you listened, when he gave his advice. No school,like old school knowledge, when you need it.

Wow, never thought I would find another channel as good as my mechanics, boy I’m glad I was wrong. Outstanding work

I remember using one like this, when I was young in the late 40's. Don't recall the brand, but probably a Craftsman. And we actually soldered with the iron that was heated in the top cradle. I think we used white gas, which probably isn't available now. Nice restoration.

@@PegasusProjects .The blow lamps works with kerosene and not gasoline. Once heated with methylated spirit or surgical spirit, the gasifier at the top vapourizes the pressurised kerosene. The blow lamp flame should be mostly blue high temperature, and not soothy yellow. Use kerosene. Otherwise it's dangerous.

I was going to purchase one just like this one locally for $10 to tinker with... Maybe I'll purchase one and just keep it for looks! This is crazy! Good job man, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Beautiful job i have 2 of them i wish they looked half that good..you do some really nice work and i know from experience some of that stuff is very time consuming. You should be very proud of yourself you are very talented..

OK, I thought I liked it when you sanded every little piece on the drill press (I did like it), I thought I liked it when you rebuilt those old screws heads (I did, really impressive), and I thought I liked it when you took the time to recreate the label (again, well done, sir); but refitting the spigot handle with a brass center piece was just too much. It's over the top. It's crazy for this piece. AND THAT IS WHY I AM A PROUD SUBSCRIBER. ...(also I really liked the polishing and painting of the logo plunger handle).

I just bought one of these old beauties but I won’t even attempt to restore it as I do t have the patience or talent you do. I must admit, I would’ve been to scared to light it. Besides the chance to ruin the look, I surely would blow myself up! Great job! Oh and the wrench toss after trying to unscrew the neck from the body? OMG I just cracked up.

I am putting together a Turner Blowtorch restoration project for my 85 year old father; I am procuring all the materials for him to do the project, but I need some clarification what materials and tools you used in the video. I learned all my mechanical prowess from my father, but he is now 85 years old. Your input would be invaluable: 1. What is the diameter of the leather pump plunger cut out? 2. What size leather hole-stamp was used for the center hole to the new leather pump plunger? 3. What was your source of supply for Hibbett Sport Tanners Mink Oil Formula Gove Conditioner? 4. What was the size for the pump check valve rubber cutout punch? 5. What was the type of rubber used for the pump check valve? 6. What did you use for the fuel wick? 7. What did you use for the pump check valve thread dope? 8. What did you use for the main pump mounting thread gasket material? 9. What did you use for the bottom plug gasket sealing material to replace the lead gasket? Thank You and God Bless! LOUIS C. BAHR, MSgt Ret., USAF

You have to value how well old things were built, and designed to be rebuilt and last!
