Iconic French Wonder Lamp - Restoration

In this video i'm restoring an old french Wonder lamp.
My good friend TysyTube Restoration bought this Wonder lamp on a flea market in Paris. He asked me if I want to restore it and obviously I said yes. He already restored two of them himself, I link his videos and channel below. These Wonder lamps are very well known in France, they're used on railroads mostly as far as I know.
I first wanted to paint the inside of the lamp white, but as soon as I saw the amazing look of the sandblasted aluminium I decided to go with that. I just had to remove the casting marks first and then sandblast it again. I choose yellow for the lamp with black letters and black for the handle and the switch. It had a few brass parts that were deformed to keep them in place, which I had to grind away to loosen them. I made all these parts new on the lathe and mill and gave them a nice mirror polish. I deformed them again when reassembling, except for the threads. It was quite a challenge to organize the battery, as they're not produced anymore today. MC-51 rust remover did an amazing job on the very rusty steel parts, a bit of sanding and polishing and they appeared like brand new. Same goes for the plastic parts, I sanded them wet with 400 grit and polished them with car wax.
I really like how this lamp turned out, even that the colours are not original, the yellow goes very nice with the black and polished parts in my opinion. As I mentioned above, I'll keep this lamp for myself for display.
I hope you like my work and the video.

    It's not talent. I went back to school to learn exactly this trade. Before I was 30 I walked around in the world not knowing how stuff was made. In school I learned about materials, their strengths and weaknesses, how to approach working on them and learning what materials are good for what kind of stuff. This man has a lot of miles on his meter working in this branche and that is what shows. Talent doesn't exist. Talent is adequately shaped enthusiasm. You can have a preference for what you like but no one is born with the right knowledge and tools. It's all learning and practice.

You show exactly how you are restoring the piece without having to see all the actions. Thank you for that. And yes, a huge grin appears on my face when you build up to the statement, "I make a new one". My father handy like you and watching you brings him back to me.

    The way these things look when restored to "as new" gives an insight as to how they might have lasted so long. They're such lovely artefacts that you would want to keep them as clean as possible for as long as possible.

    He's the exact opposite of me. As far as I'm concern if something works I couldn't care less what it looks like and a quick lick of whatever paint I have lying around is good enough if it becomes really necessary. Very relaxing to watch somebody do something I don't have any inclination to do myself. And do it so well.

I often wonder what life would be like if every appliance, tool, machine and vehicle was made down to the tightest tolerances, carefully filed, attention paid to the smallest possible details and I always end up thinking that everything would be beautiful and work perfectly, but nobody would have anything because it’d all be so damn expensive 😂 this channel (and clickspring) are great at getting me to spend more time filing, though
