Restoration Spirit Level 1943s Mirror Finish Polishing

Ғылым және технология

Restoration of an vintage
Spirit Level
. Unfortunately, the spirit level glass is broken
.
I bought the old spirit level on ebay, for 15 euro. Unfortunately the glass was broken
. That's why I had to order a new one, from England
. Brass parts were polished
. Wood was sanded and painted with oil
.

    Hi there when you did the gluing of the crack in the wood one of the things I do is use some of the wood dust from when you were sanding it and mix it with the glue then use it . It will match the wood color so much better

    Nice! A little helpful hint. Whenever you are turning in nicely polished screws like that, ALWAYS use a perfectly fitted screwdriver blade that fits the screw slot perfectly. Then you don't mar or deform the screw heads again. And to verify you have a true level vial set properly, once you get it centered, turn the level end for end and the bubble should remain in the exact same place. Thumbs Up!

    More like this, please. Simple tools, essentially all hand done up to the final brass polish. Excellent! A real pleasure to watch. I was surprised to see that the date was not die stamped into the wood, but only inked on.😟

    Beautful piece of work, but a shame you lost most of the "Warranted Correct" stamp from the brass as well as the 1943 from the wood. The level could have been restored to your high standards of beauty and functionality without being subjected to so much unnecessary sanding.

    Yeah I felt that he had went a little far on the sanding as I watched the stamping on the brass fade-away. As for the date on the wood it can be put back with a good pen.

    Here's a tip for you for the next time you need to get glue into a tight space - like the crack you sealed on this project. Instead of trying to poke the glue into a space, use a syringe and a heavier gauge needle. Suck the glue into the syringe, attach the needle, then poke the needle as far down into the space as you can. Press the plunger and the glue is injected exactly where it needs to be. Clamp as usual and hey presto - a secure, sealed wooden joint or veneer that's reattached to perfection.

    Well done, May I suggest that you try fitting the screw driver blade to match the width and thickness of the slot of the screw. This will prevent the bruising of the slots on the screws. Might mean you need to by more slotted screw drivers ;-) Again, nice job!

    This is not a spirit level, this a nice level. A spirit level contains an alcohol filled glass tube which is highly precise. Normal levels are okay but if you have used a spirit level you will know the difference. Nice job though.
