Antique Dented Oiler - Perfect Restoration
In this video i'm restoring an antique dented oiler.
My friend found this oiler in the steel waste at the recycling station. I really liked the unique design of it and I bought it from him for $5. It almost had no rust, but it was very dirty and had a lot of dents. The tricky part of this restoration was definitely the removing of all the dents in the can. I want to say thank you to my friend who helped me with this and to his boss, who allowed him to use the tools from his work place. I'm very happy how it turned out and I really like the new look of the oiler. I'll keep this oiler in my shop and I'm going to use it from now on.
I hope you like my work and the video.

In awe of his strategic approach, knowledge of materials, skill in handling a variety of hand/power tools, and documentation of the recovery process. These videos are a treasure and should be archived for current and future generations to see and understand the art of craftsmanship.

My favorite part about your videos is how there's no commentary or music. It's just patiently working away at a project. There's something almost therapeutic about watching them. Also I dig that you take "restoration" to a whole new league. I've seen lots of these kinds of videos but I've never seen someone go as far as machining new screws and bolts. Also the buffing wheel is my favorite part. I like how you really try to get as many scratches out as possible.

It's amazing that it didn't take long for the engineer to fix this. It contained fewer parts to replace or even revamp.

I'd have to agree. I've seen about a dozen channels thus far. And while Hand Tool Rescue does a great job, he doesn't use a polishing buff wheel on the goddamned pump springs. I Kinda want to label this kind of dedication to not...restoration, but some higher calibur. Words fail me. But essentially Restore might mean, clean it, fix the broken parts, and maybe a paint job. But he goes so far beyond, with the polishing, machining new parts. THESE PROJECTS ARE SUPERIOR TO WHEN THEY WERE NEW. Restoration...just doesn't feel adequate a term.

Would have been much better if i would have seen someone else first and they would seem very good aswell and than gradually i would have found this channel and i would think this dudes restoration is just waaay more advanced (which it is). It is like he is the level 100 from 100. And now if watch anything else,it's not so enjoyable like watching this dude's restoration.

For getting out the dent, use a steel ball bearing (large as you can fit through the mouth) and a strong permanent rare earth magnet on the outside, they come with handles for repairing horned musical instruments, but you can fabricate a handle cheaper. Keep using the magnet to roll the bearing across the dent till its gone. Works like a charm and no weld marks.

@RealHank1791
5 жыл бұрын
@@MilesBader The strength of magnetic attraction to a given magnet is directly proportional to the mass of the ferromagnetic material being affected. The ball bearing provides enough ferromagnetic mass to exert the necessary force to bend the oiler's relatively thin wall. The wall itself would not have enough ferromagnetic mass to bend by itself and thus the bearing is needed and the wall will only bend where that extra force is applied. (Contrary to popular belief even the strongest magnet in the world couldn't do something like, pull a paper clip out of your hand. The paperclip simply doesn't have the ferromagnetic mass needed. The friction of your grip and your strength would be more than enough to overcome the attraction.) Edit: Oh and another gorgeous restoration. Kudos OP. Loving the videos.

You could also fix it with a paintless dent removal approach. Machine a steel collar that fits inside the filler neck. A stout steel rod with a rounded end and appropriate bends is then inserted through the collar and the dents are levered out from the inside, prying against the collar.

I just bought 6 antique Oiler cans from an Indiana barn find. Most are dented and have old oil caked on the inside bottom. Thank you for the upload as I want to go through and restore maybe 4 of them. The other 2 will be left how they are because we will display the on the top shelf of our very country kitchen. Great job, great eye, and great attention to detail!
The amount of effort, and how shiny, and clean he makes everything; even the hidden parts if phenomenal. Best restoration channel on YT.
I just watched a 12 minute video on an oil can and loved it.
I have a mild OCD, these videos please me very much. thank you so much!

Nice to hear that, thank you very much :-)
Best therapeutic channel ever. Thanks so much for these videos. The only thing better than doing it yourself is to watch these amazing videos. No talking...just like I work in my own shop. I LOVE this channel.
Я понял в чем магия. Треп уже всем надоел и настоящие звуки вкупе с уникальным трудом это то что нужно! Браво
Okay but that perfect pour of rust remover into the can was great.
You never disappoint me. I was wondering how you were going to get the dents out of the can. Ingenious. Another masterpiece.
I can’t believe how much I enjoyed this video. The most simple and yet the most enjoyable I’ve seen. Great resto on that thing! Awesome video
That thing now is so smooth it looks like a rendered 3D object. Pretty good!

Iridium , He'd remove your 'roids with a drill wire-brush. And then polish it before re-greasing.
Genius idea with the grinding stones and the lathe.

large ball bearings inside may have taken the dents out,lathe great idea.
Somehow missed this one, beautiful.
Beautiful job . I would have liked to seen the body and fill tube chromed with the brass accents contrasting for optimal beauty. I always enjoy seeing used and abused tools brought back to usable beauty by someone who will treat them properly and pass them on to future generations . We the men who restore them salute you .

I agree 100% with you. It probably looks much better than when it was new. Thumb up "my mechanics".

Excellent work! Like a piece of jewellery. Great video too, no chatter, no irritating music, great editing.
Very interesting 'dent puller' you have there! Great skill in welding up pinholes also! 👍🏆
I keep coming back to this video alot. It's the best restoration video.
