Vintage Wooden Level Restoration

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Hello folks! Today I want to show you my new restoration project! I found this vintage wood level at flea market and bought for USD $1. For the first look the level had some troubles with old paint, some rusty at steel cover and dirty too. Restoration process: I used tool for paint removal to removed old paint from level. After I used sandpaper to remove some kind of paint and grease stain from level. To remove some rust from cover and screws too, I used rust remover liquid. Before I was started paint of wooden level I used primer and then paint it. Then polished cover and screws too. To keep the capsule level, I used an epoxy putty. I hope you will enjoy this restoration video. P.s. It's first work with level restorations. Thank you!
Sincerely, Alex. Thanks for attention!
Good luck and health to everyone! With best wishes, Alex!

    This is the second level restoration I have watched recently. I don't understand why you wouldn't seat the vial on the putty while the level is sat on top of a known good level so you can calibrate the glass perfectly. It just looks a bit like guesswork the way you have done it.

    An interesting restoration for a simple tool. If there wasn't a chip taken out, would you have used a stain instead of paint? Looks shiny ✨️new✨️ 👍

    One thing that you must remember is this, Not All Mistakes Are A Screw-up. It turned out great, and you learned something. None of us are perfect. Keep it going. Learn from some of the comments. Disregard those that are negative. Perhaps they should try using ''Constructive Criticism'' . You are doing well, my friend. I enjoy your eagerness. Keep it coming.

    The white paint you took off the bubble is for contrast to help see the bubble better in lower light conditions, otherwise, good job.

    In such levels, you see a bubble of air not through an ampoule, but in reflected light. For better visibility, the level manufacturer painted half of the ampoule along with white paint. You washed off the white paint but forgot to paint again. Initially, the metal bar was probably nickel-plated to protect it from corrosion, it would be nice to restore it. PS: The inscription on the metal bar: (factory) "FIZPRIBOR" (PHYSICAL DEVICE) (city) Kirov The inscription on paper: Tobacco factory number 2 in Tbilisi (Georgia). Someone put this piece of cigarette box during a long-standing repair.

    Зачёт, но почему вы не обработали нижнюю честь. Ведь она будет больше контактировать с рабочей поверхностью? И посередине между колбой с жидкостью и мелалической пластиной осталась щель. Ведь в неё будет попадать мусор. А так лайк.

    You can soak wood in thinner overnight and all and I mean ALL the oil and paint will literally fall off and be laying around it in the bucket the next day, wood will have a whiteish appearance. I do gun stocks that way.
