Antique Blowtorch Restoration - with testing!
Antique Swiss Blowtorch Restoration - with testing! Oerlikon Record
In this video i'm restoring an antique swiss blowtorch.
Like, comment, subscribe.
I found this old blowtorch, which was perfect for a nice restoration video. Before i started to disassemble i wanted to know if it still works and it did. The flame was quiet inconsistant and fire leaked everywhere. By the first look i saw that the front piece was damaged very hard, the bolt on top had a lot of slack, the handle of the pump was broken and it didn't lock.
After this first look i started to disassemble. All the parts were really easy to remove and it went very well and fast.
To remove the soot and patina i used a mixture of flour, salz and vinegar. This is a very effective and cheap method, it takes a bit of time but it's worth to wait. I left the parts for 7 days. I made a new bolt on the lathe and recut the thread. To make the bolt black i heated it up to around 300-400°C and layed it in olive oil after it, that makes it also rust proofing. Because i couldn't fix the front piece, i decided to make a new one and it worked very well. I made the gasket for it out of an exhaust gasket, because it had one layer aluminium in it i first made a hole on the mill, then cut it roughly out and finished it with the belt grinder. Next up i removed all the scratches from the tank with sandpaper. As i can't engrave i decided to scratch the letters deeper with a needle and then i polished it. I did the same with the same with the filler cap and made a new gasket out of cork for it. The shaft from the pump was bent very hard, so i did straighten it with a hammer and polished it. As the handle from the pump was broken and it didn't lock, i decided to make a new one. I designed the handle and i was inspired by pictures of simular blowtorches on the internet, i was quiet happy with the endresult. To make a new leather for the pump, i soacked a piece of leather in pure gasoline. I made a die and stamp to bring the leather in shape. To dry it faster i set it on fire and waited until the flames stoped, held it quick under water and left it for 24 hours to dry. I took it out of the die, cut it in shape with scissors and puched a hole in it. I grinded the black handle clean with sandpaper on the lathe and made a new profile on the mill, after that i polished it to make it black and shiny. I made a new wick with a cotton cord.
Then i put it all back together. I used just a little bit grease on all the threads and also on the pump leather. The pump had a very good compression after assembling and i was very happy about the overall looking at the end.
Sorry for my bad english, it's not my language. I try my best to improve my technical english.

We all need to take a moment of respect for the amount of times this guy washes his hands, cuts fingernails and cleans his shop and tools in one video. His dedication to quality of video making is just as impressive as his craftsmanship in restoration.

The way you made that leather plunger was quite impressive. Thought I had seen it all. Your work is unbelievable.
So many times in this gentleman's videos I find myself watching him hand-make some obscure part ("Here we soak the leather in rocket fuel, then punch it in, then burn it, then cut away the burnt excess 24 hours later") that I say "OH COME ON!" because I am in awe that someone takes this stuff so seriously. I would give you all my upvotes. This is wonderful, nourishing content. Thank you.

That's why i didn't sandblast, grind, wire brush or polish it. I also think it gives a nice contrast to the rest. Thank you guys for all your support lately, i really do appreciate it.

I’m not saying the pieces don’t look good when he’s done - far from it - just that nothing done in these videos is particularly difficult. Why do all of theses comments make it out like he is forming diamonds with his bare hands? Have we reached that point where so many people have no ability to work with their hands, so that hose that do look like ‘master of their craft’ simply because they know the correct way to hold a screwdriver?

The truth about these (i knew someone who owned and used one in good condition) is that they worked really well as portable tools, but maintenance was a PITA. And i'm referring to all of them. Thank the machine gods for making the modern variants much simpler to use and keep running.
Another cappuccino break very well spent. One of the many reasons your video is so appealing, aside from the many skills demonstrated, is that this takes me back to my own childhood when I would follow my grandfather around while he tinkered at his workbench, fixing everything from clocks to violins and hand making lost parts. AND much like my grandfather, you go about your tasks without speaking and yet the lessons are well learned and the methods passed down. You must be an old soul, as today, we live in a disposable society, where the old is cast away and there is the perception that newer is better. What you have there is the ultimate and elegant equalizer for confronting a hornet's nest. Thank you for improving my day.

This kind of channel is the perfect relaxation for left AND right rained people. You and your fellow KZread contemporaries marry masterful engineering aptitude and and finely tune, bespoke artisanal creativity that puts it so together. Perfect synergy. I hope you do this kind of stuff for historical movies/ tv shows and the like. It's invaluable what you do. Your work is outstanding, brother. Just brilliant. It truly helps me relax, wind down and really I appreciate the attention to all the details that make the whole thing comes together. Great video, brother. Outstanding. Stay safe! 👍🏼🚛🎨🖌️🔩🍀
This channel is an example of why I don’t watch the myriad of ‘documentaries’ on television about restoration and why KZread can be great. No unnecessary ‘narrative’ wasting 15 mins on, “How and where I found this item and it’s interesting (not) back story”, coupled with an annoying ‘star narrator’, over hyped music and 20 mins of exposition. This is beautifully shot, allows space to wonder and marvel at the skill and craftsmanship, the soundtrack of lathe and sanding/filing is perfect (and Zen-like) and the sheer wonder at the finished article never fails to excite and delight. Its (Your), “I make a new one”’ catchphrase always makes me smile and half the time I ponder, “How is he going do do that!”. All in 15 mins or so. Perfect.

He’s a good restorer - but he’s not really doing anything ‘masterful’. He breaks it down, cleans and polishes, occasionally makes a new gasket, seal or other part, maybe turns a new part on the large, but nothing too crazy. I don’t get it. Is everyone just incapable of doing anything with there hands so those that do look like masters?

The torch tip looked like a gun silencer at one point. Lol GREAT vids. i love watching your work it’s all very beautiful.
there is no one who equals your work, they are perfect
I’ve watched a few of your videos, and I have to say, your attention to detail is unparalleled. Brilliant job and fascinating, as always.
Thank you for setting it on fire :)
Finally someone who isn't afraid of dirty hands. You've got so much more "feeling" with the product, instead of those stupid nursery hand gloves. Just love it. Maybe a late reaction, but better late than never. 😄😄
Haven't seen one of these in a decade and a half. My teacher who got me into hobby mechanics owned one just like this, well, in better condition than this one started, but used. You know, lovingly taken after. Man, what a mind trip. Neat, great job.
