In this video I restored an old 'Lincoln' Grease Press from St. Louis. I purchased this Grease Press online, when it arrived i noticed a well used condition. The bolts/screws were worn and not original. At first I thought it works but is empty, while disassembling I noticed that there were still grease in the press left.
While the outside was worn, the internal parts were looking pretty good - since the grease protected them from rust.
After disassembling a good acetone wash was necessesary. All the grease was gone, so I could focus on restoring the coated and plated parts. With sandblasting I removed every old coating and plating. On 2 parts there was a heavy chrome plating, which was pretty resistant, even against hydrochloric acid. I used the acid to loosen the plating and sandblasting it off later.
The new color was RAL 7040, I matched the color with a part that wasnt totally worn. A new powdercoating makes the press look new.
After nickelplating the plated parts and reassembling the whole piece, the press works perfectly fine again!
I hope you have fun with the video! If you have any questions on the used tools, materials or the processes, write it in the comment section - i´ll try to answer as soon as possible!

But if you leave some marks on it. It actually looks like an item you just restored. Thank you for this point.

  • I love watching you work. You’re so talented, meticulous and your videography is fantastic. You seem to know just what to show your audience and how to show it so we “get the picture”. I love that we get to enjoy the ambience of your workroom with the sounds of your work and the machinery. If I wasn’t so “handicapped “ in the memory department I would have loved restoring things. I did restore antique furniture for a while which was a blast. Now, I just don’t have the place to do these sorts of projects or all the tools. PS; i find it extra satisfying watching you make new nuts and bolts and other parts.

  • Great job. The play in the handle was not from wear. They are made to be loose because the tools are going to be thrown in a bag or the back of a truck. If the handle was tight with no wiggle room then it would cause things to break when it bounces around. Some high end brands would put cork washers on to tighten it but in reality the cork would degrade and crumble after a few weeks due to chemical exposure.

  • Please can you (or someone) explain to those of us who simply like watching these restorations, how it is you can tell that a part, for example the bolt and screw in this restore, is not the original? It's always both puzzled and impressed me a little, as well as knowing that there are parts missing sometimes. Beautiful work on this restoration by the way.

    @Pizzpott@Pizzpott11 ай бұрын
    • Interesting question. Id say that with enough experience you just can "see" which part matches the others and which doesnt. For example: in this video we had the bolt and the screw. The bolt had such a good fitment (eventough it was worn). But the screw would just "eat" the whole handle with its thread, so it was some sort of "quick fix" one day. Its technically nonsense to put a screw here. Hope you know what i mean.
