Restoring Lamp From Abandoned Bunker for My Home
I bought this lam which is from and abandoned German bunker, to restore it and make it into an industrial style lamp for my home. I completely rebuilt the lamp making it safe to use and installed a smart bulb to be able to control if remotely. I'm very happy with the results of this restoration. Would you have this in your home?

Let's wait for that "Restoring old tank i found at my new yard" video
Ha!
@asian dude *yes*
Don't ypu just HATE it when you find a tank in your yard? UGH
Today i will be fixing up this world war 3 tank from the year 2021
asian dude, you got a problem with that? :/
unpopular opinion: I actually enjoy watching the electrolysis rust removal process more than the sand blast.
shit looked like lasagna lmao
Alphin stuff looked toxic
I wonder what it tastes like.
i get so excited when i see hes gonna do electrolysis lmfaoo

8:49 Thanks for showing that liquid ice trick. I always used condensed steam for this step and it never seemed to work properly. Now i know why.
You restore old bunker lights on a day to day basis?
@@atuaangie5160 lmao
Liquid Ice Is An Autobody Polishing Chemical.
@@Jaidenism0722 that’s a pretty stupid name for a chemical. Lmao
@@AgentE1Games I Don't Know Who Named It ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Imagine many many years ago some German technician assemble this, without knowing another person will restore his work in the future. It's like a time capsule.
I think about this any time I build or install anything. If I can figure out a way to keep it from feeling corny, I like to leave a little Easter egg for the next guy.
@@CeeJayThe13th Can't beat the old "[Name] was here."
20 years later, someone else will then come to restore what was once restored.
@Victor Wingo what's the difference? Someone assembled this, with or without degree.
xDDD I would be too lazy to restore things
Me: Liquid Ice I've never heard of that product Me 2 seconds later: I'm such a dumbass
same
It's not water, like many people are thinking. It's an auto body polishing chemical.
And it came to pass that Zargothrax was cast into the frozen pool of liquid ice, encasing his immortal body in a cage of eternal frost.
glad I’m not the only one GSJSJS
I died laughing at the liquid ice
We need this dude to fix 2020, build a time machine and fix all the other messed up years.

Only thing that'll save this year is if people wake up to the lies, and stop defending them! Turn off your TV, and see how fast "covid" goes away!
@@vinylcity1599 I get what you're saying... Still waiting for the spike in deaths, as almost nobody has been social distancing for months now...

Admittedly, I don't know much about art, but to me this is a masterpiece. Watching history being brought back to life with a hidden modern upgrade - just wow. Thank you for sharing.
"just a bucket" lol, your sense of humor is always fun!
and liquid ice....!!!
"It's not what it looks like..."
Real funny
and 5 sec later it is the: rost removal bucket. it´s magic! but real! ;-)
How 'bout the rubber duckie?
"Liquid Ice" is my new favorite thing I've seen this year. Lol, definitely coming back to this channel in the future
Almost as good as hot ice
🙃 - water
7:06 Look at all those parts. This lamp should last forever... No plastic, just quality stuff. Amazing construction and you oddtinker did an amazing job like always.
It will be a non ferrous metal. The lamp is an Explosion Proof Lamp. Designed to use in areas were flammable vapours or explosives are stored. The seal stops fumes, the thick glass and grill means if the bulb bursts no hot fillament is exposed. And non ferrous , no sparks if its hit by something.
I never thought watching things be fixed would be so incredibly relaxing.
no
"I added all the salt gathered from the comment section during last week" 😂

the salt must flow.... 😈
The lamp now shines more than my future
No cap 😔😔
Taking into account the year we've had ...
Depressing
Hor
Never give up! Never surrender!
The amount of thought, engineering and quality for a simple light fixture. Back in the day they made things to last forever.
I admire your patience and dedication, but also your editing skills and humour. And thank you for the comments about the kinds of wires and their purpose--useful in everyday life :)

I’d love to see what he does with these. Hopefully he makes a vid showing his collection of restored items :)
I would love that
This one is actually use in my home as. Some of the tools I use and consoles I occasionally play with but many are also just in storage 😁
GAMRGrandma2. That sounds like a cool video idea.
@@OddTinkering maybe you can sell the items you don't use its a great way to make money as many people are losing jobs and the restored items are worth a lot

The little sip of the salty water had me laughing out loud 😂 loved it

Doesn't matter how you strip it if you're careful enough
More salt to the pile.
same here lmao
I really love your work and your sense of humor. Thanks for sharing your work with us on KZhead.

This is some MAXIMUM THRIFT action. And on a side note, the sounds from the video are pretty relaxing for some reason. AND the tiny can of yellow paint made my heart happy. So small and cute.

You're about the only restoration channel that also manages to get a laugh outta me while you're at it, keep up the amazing work! Much love from the UK!
From 'JUST A BUCKET' to 'RUST REMOVAL BUCKET' in a few short steps. I love it!
I've been binge watching your channel all day today. This is definitely the most interesting and impressive restoration I've seen so far!
late night and hungry, gonna watch this then sleep and i know it’s gonna be good
Me 2 boi
I’ll make u a nice sandwich and send it to u 😅
Never thought id be this early to a video this late. At night.
How so

YES, LAMINAR FLOW LIQUID POURING. You sir have now earned my subscribtion.
I see you put more effort into making and editing videos. I noticed it and I appreciate it. Good job, great vid!
The close up shots really add to the interest quality of the videos, and the editing is excellent.
This is the video that hooked me onto the channel. Its my favorite out of all of them
I love how you gave the lamp an army look
So satisfying. And educational! I can tell you have fun filming and making the edits and it really shines through. Thanks for sharing with us.
Anyone else see a giant baked muffin after the rust remover puffs up? 😂
That was a rather satisfying video to watch. Great to see that old lamp being reused. The stickers were a nice touch.
I’ve been binge watching your videos for days and I’m convinced that there’s nothing you can’t fix
I always look forward to your videos. You never disappoint. Love the humor, love the craftmanship and i love the ingenuity. Thanks for everything!
A few years later you'll be fixing a damn switch
Maybe 😂 who knows if I'll do that soon. People wave already destroyed so many of those
Joy-Con drift is death.
You have perfected the ability to show a work process long enough to see what you are doing but cutting at the right time for it to not get boring or too long I love your videos, they are so relaxing and educational :) thank you for your work!
This was so entertaining to watch. I love the elements of humour you put into your content, and also that you're faithful to the original lamp by reproducing the labels.
10:34 and thats how the muffins are made....
I love how you always manage to add some funny comments and details in your videos, always makes me laugh ! I'm not a restoring nerd and doesn't understand a lot of the chemical reactions and stuff, but it's always so satisfying and soothing to watch. You rock.
I must say, this restoration was **chefs kiss**
Das ist wunderbar. Gotta love those antique relics.
12:50 i havent seen this much filler since i watched naruto
Nice one
wow
We missed you, Odd Tinkering! My boyfriend and I have been patiently waiting for your videos every week before. Then we concluded you're now uploading them every 2 weeks. But this time it's later than expected. We're so glad you have updated a content today! 😭👏❤ Greetings from the Philippines! 🇵🇭
I always depends, I ran into some trouble with a project I started an then this turned out to take 2 weeks instead of one. I might have something ready also next week but I'm unsure. Next project should be quite easy. But editing also always takes time.
@@OddTinkering Oh, that's how it is then! Looking forward to your future contents with the ducktor. Keep safe, Odd Tinkering! 😊
Finally, someone who is nice. I really can't get a girlfriend in school because they are A: taken (like you are, lucky him) or B: hates me, or finally C: Will be in a horrible relationship. I am glad there are people like you out there that actually give me some damn hope, because I am sick of all the girls at my school, all the boys are sick of it too. This is America. Unavailable or available with no hope of survival. And we can all agree that Mr. Odd is the best restoration man both sides of the Mississippi.
I just realized how much of a failure I am. Damn.
For a generation that buys things instead of fixing them when they are broken, you Sir, are a legend. Chapeau!
This one is really incredible! I didn't know you could do even better than what you usually do All you videos are amazing 👏 Thank you so much for all your time and effort!
When Fallout gets real lmao. This was very very cool
@Boris Erdogan haha oh yeah that's even better! I forgot about that
20:09 "I will link it and my t-shits and tools etc." That made me laugh
Haha. I noticed that too late. It will be blurred once KZhead processes it just because I don't know how they like this type of accidental faul language and it's not even the first time I've done it 😂
This had me laughing too
@@OddTinkering That's a shame, it was an accident that brought a smile upon my face 😂
I also giggled at that :)
Hahaha I didn't get why he blurried that.
it took me an embarrassing amount of time to realize what "liquid ice" was supposed to be. about 10 seconds, in case you're wondering.
It's not water, like many people are thinking. It's an auto body polishing chemical.
It took me 5 videos
@@billdanosky Actually, it really is just water. Just look up Electrolytic Rust Removal, and you'll see.
@@billdanosky Yup. It's dihydrogen monoxide. A very lethal substance when inhaled, actually
Impressive work I like how you restore the authentic shape of items instead of completly denied it!
👏👏👏👏
I love seeing other channels supporting each other
Hi, Tysy!
Lol
WOAH WAY HI TYSYTUBE! IMA FAN OF U!

I really love these videos cuz i have a weird interest in restorations but quiet and simple, and i like how u restore the products. Honestly i have these videos in a list i use to fall asleep haha, i wish u put more content out but i just watch alot lol
Wow I could watch you all day! Your so smart and clever! 🤘👌

That looks absolutely stunning! Great job. And I love the humour throughout. Keep up the good work dude. 👍🏻
From 9:12 to 10:00 : my favorite moment :D with the "i gathered all the salt from the comment section" and the "it's not what it looks like" Dude... I'm dead rn 😂
Lol at 8:59 I love the label you put on the bucket that reads “Just A Bucket.”
I would love to have a cozy little private room with a lamp like this in it. Go in there to read or take a nap when I need a little isolation.

Hey thanks! But... which one of them? O_o
✝️
I enjoy your videos so much so interesting watching you bring all these items back to life.😊
I can only imagine the smell of this video. Hats off to you my man.
Personally would have kept the "pitted" shell and gave it a coat of gunmetal paint or maybe even "parkerizing", as it would have added character. But i cant deny that the shiny smooth "as new" version also looks fancy.
So much this, I can understand removing the rust off the important bits. But the pitting was character that's just lost now. Kinda disappointed.
Same, once its refinished like that, it looks like it could have just been a reproduction. But, ya know, not my lamp so I cant get too bent over it hah
I'm by no means an expert so anyone feel free to correct me, but wouldn't leaving it pitted jeopardize the integrity of the metal? as in, leaving it more prone to becoming brittle?
@@neonhalos the shell appears structurally sound, it seems thoroughly over-engineered in fine German tradition, but I don't think the filler would contribute much in this respect anyway
@@MagnusRoe fair enough and good points!
*finally puts lamp guard in fresh bucket of water* *immediately the worlds stankiest water* Also, were you actually cleaning that thing at 3 in the morning?
Zurkel well I’m UK time so if it’s 23 hours then it’s 4AM depending on military time at where I am
So I’m a bit unsure if so
Its is noble work to restore good old memories. Your work is good...can you restore HUMANITY and Love for each other.
Lots of wishes for 2 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS ❤️
I learn a lot with these videos. Other day ive restored my damaged wii remote. Tks a lot mister "odd t.".
I swear my favorite part has to be the labels and captions like “so much yummy.” Laughed about that the entire video
Your work is just unbelievable.👍🏼🌟🌟🌟💖💖💖💖
Excellent! Went above and beyond using that smart bulb. Wish I had a friend like you
my pfp is my exact mood when seeing the collective rust in the bucket
I love that the water bucket is labeled “liquid ice”
I'm waiting for that bunker restoration video... and it should look as good as the lamp.
impressive. this shows how any old item and design can be revived.
