I turn a Nut into a tiny Adjustable Wrench

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCM65z7cJmZUOpWUXVwHOc7g
In this video I'm turning a stainless steel M20 nut into a tiny adjustable wrench. All three parts are completely made out of one single nut. First I turned the thread and the hexagon away on the lathe. After cutting a slit into it I was able to open it up with the help of a torch. A few heats later I had a very straight and flat piece of stainless steel. I first went then on the milling machine and milled the whole part to the final width of the wrench. I then cut of a piece with the hacksaw to make the body out of it. With a tiny t-slot endmill I was able to mill the t-slot very nicely with a very low feedrate and a lot of oil. After milling the square hole and drilling the deep 2.1mm hole I started to shape the outer contour. Then I moved on by making the movable part of the wrench. I milled it all in one operation with very careful steps to not risk and chatter marks or whatsoever. After filing the square bit round I sanded the rectangular part until it fitted nicely into the body. I then cut the M2 thread and cut the piece off with the hacksaw, assembled it with the body and sanded both parts flush. Then I started rounding off all edges with needle files, sandpaper and finished it with very fine steel wool for a brushed finish. All what's left to do now was making the knurled adjuster nut. For that I forged the remaining of the nut into a square piece, which I could clamp in the four jaw chuck on the lathe.I turned it round, supported it with a live center, put the knurling onto it, drilled and tapped the hole, chamfered it and parted it off. Then it was just a matter of quickly assembling the three pieces.
This was a very cool little project for me. I really like how it turned out. It's a very cool little item in my opinion.

In this in-depth talk, ethnographer and leadership expert Simon Sinek reveals the hidden dynamics that inspire leadership and trust. In biological terms, leaders get the first pick of food and other spoils, but at a cost. When danger is present, the group expects the leader to mitigate all threats even at the expense of their personal well-being. Understanding this deep-seated expectation is the key difference between someone who is just an "authority" versus a true "leader."

Antique Soldering Iron (Blowtorch) - Hot Restoration
SUBSCRIBE and check out my new Channel:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCM65z7cJmZUOpWUXVwHOc7g
In this video, I'm restoring an old German soldering iron.
This item was sent to me by one of my patrons from Germany. He saw it on eBay, asked me if I'm interested and then he bought it. Thank you for that. I'll send it back to him now.
I really liked the look of the handle and that's why I decided to restore it. It's a propane gas powered soldering iron made by Perkeo. I don't know how old this one is, but they built them since 1919 until today. The modern ones still look pretty much the same as the one I restored in this video, they just made some small changes over the years. I'm very happy how this project turned out, I really like the contrast of the dark wooden handle and the polished brass.
I hope you like my work and the video.

Rusty Old Coffee Grinder - Perfect Restoration
SUBSCRIBE and check out my new Channel:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCM65z7cJmZUOpWUXVwHOc7g
In this video I'm restoring an old coffee grinder.
A few weeks ago I bought an old bench grinder to restore on eBay. The guy who sold it was actually selling more antiques, he had a room filled with old items. I took a look at his other stuff and this unique coffee grinder caught my attention right away. The one thing that really impressed me on this coffee grinder was the metal body, usually they're made of wood. I also liked the colour very much. The restoration itself turned out to be a lot more challenging than I first expected. I'm very happy with the final result of this coffee grinder. I really like how the handle turned out.
I hope you like my work and the video.

Antique Rusty Micrometer - Precise Restoration
SUBSCRIBE and check out my new Channel:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCM65z7cJmZUOpWUXVwHOc7g
I bought this micrometer on eBay for $25. When I was scrolling through the antique section of eBay and first saw this micrometer I wanted to restore it right away. I really like the unique look of those watchmaker micrometers. As a professional CNC-mechanic I'm very familiar with those measurement devices and I'm using them on a daily basis. The measurement range of this micrometer is from 0-25mm and you can measure exactly on 0.005mm. The micrometer was in a very bad condition, it was very rusty and it was kind of stuck. It was once re-painted to yellow, the original colour was black. That's why I decided to paint it black again. In the front of the micrometer there was a plate with the name and the location of the previous owner mounted with two rivets. The plate was in very bad condition and as I'm the new owner of it, I decided to make a new plate with my name and my location. I choose to create the plate with etching using ferric-chloride. I've never done that before, but the result came out very nice. Unfortunately I wasn't able to remove all the spots from the rust on the two parts with the scale on it, if I would sand it more I would lose the engravings. I'm still very happy how this restoration turned out.
I hope you like my work and the video.

1918 Aircraft Rivet Hammer - Restoration
SUBSCRIBE and check out my new Channel:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCM65z7cJmZUOpWUXVwHOc7g
In this video I'm restoring an aircraft rivet hammer.
This pneumatic rivet hammer was sent to me by one of my subscribers from Germany, thank you for that. It's a very cool and unique looking tool, I've never seen this tool before and that's why I decided to restore it and make a video for you guys. I was told that this tool was stored in the basement when they had a flooding, that was probaly the reason why it was rusty and didn't work anymore. I had a few ups and downs during this restoration. The cast of the aluminium handle was very porous and a lot of tiny holes appeared after fine sanding and polishing, also the welding didn't work quite well. I first tried to TIG weld, but that didn't work at all. For the visible steel parts I decided to make them black, for the optic and also as rust protection. My idea was to sandblast those parts to make a nice and even finish, but because I'm using very fine glas bead all the small damages in the surface from the rust were still visible. So I had to sand them all away. The bluing worked very well and it makes a nice contrast to the polished parts in my oppinion. The old air fitting was put together out of three different pieces made of brass to get the right thread size. I didn't really liked that option and decided to make a new one. I really wasn't pleased during the restoration just because of the porous cast of the handle and I thought about it for a long time to not even publish the video because of that. But as soon as I tested it after the restoration I had a huge smile all over my face, this is a very cool tool and it ended up working perfectly fine. I hope you don't judge me to hard for my very bad welding abilities and the bad outcome of the aluminium handle.
I hope you like my work and the video.

High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) - Maximum Results, Minimum Time
SUBSCRIBE and check out my new Channel:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCM65z7cJmZUOpWUXVwHOc7g
High Intensity Interval Training, or HIIT, enjoys the benefits of both steady cardio AND weight lifting. The body burns fat 3x faster than steady cardio, while building muscle at the same time. Weight lifting alone does little to burn fat, and steady cardio, like jogging, does little to build muscle. During HIIT, The back and forth of explosive activity to rest causes muscle confusion and the body responds by growing muscle rapidly. At the same time the heart rate will skyrocket, burning glucose and giving you an excellent cardio session in a very short period of time. What’s probably most fascinating about HIIT is what happens after the workout is over. HIIT creates a strong excess post-oxygen consumption effect, where the body continues to consume oxygen after the workout in order to recover the muscles back to their preworkout state. So the body revs up the metabolism and keeps burning calories and fat during recovery and this effect can last up to 24 hours after the workout is done.
HIIT workouts can be done anywhere at anytime. There is no equipment or membership needed and most workouts are less than 30 minutes.

Antique Dented Oiler - Perfect Restoration

In this video I'm restoring an antique dented oiler.
My friend found this oiler in the steel waste at the recycling station. I really liked the unique design of it and I bought it from him for $5. It almost had no rust, but it was very dirty and had a lot of dents. The tricky part of this restoration was definitely the removing of all the dents in the can. I want to say thank you to my friend who helped me with this and to his boss, who allowed him to use the tools from his work place. I'm very happy how it turned out and I really like the new look of the oiler. I'll keep this oiler in my shop and I'm going to use it from now on.
I hope you like my work and the video.

1930s Rusty Metal Shear - Perfect Restoration

1930s Rusty Metal Shear - Perfect Restoration
In this video I'm restoring a Beverly Shear model B1
My friend found this Beverly Shear in the steel waste at the recycling station. When I first saw this Beverly Shear I had no idea why it has such an unique shape. After a bit of research I quickly found out that this is a very well known tool. So I decided to restore it and bought it for $30. The Beverly Shear is a tool to cut sheet, because of it's unique shape it enables you to cut curved shapes and that's what makes the Beverly Shear so special. The Beverly Shear was invented by Kurt Nebel in 1931 in Chicago. There are 3 different sizes available: model B1, model B2 and model B3 which is the biggest one. They have made some changes over the years, but since 1947 the shears have remained virtually unchanged. For the color I decided to use a darker grey than the original and choose anthracide, I also added two washers. To make the parts black I used a bluing liquid called „Birchwood Casey - Super Blue“ and it worked very well. It's easy to handle and the big advantage over heating and quenching in oil is that you can do it without heating the parts up. So you won't change the structure of the steel and you can use it on hardened parts as well. Because I have no tools and experience in sharpening such blades, I decided to ask my friend Philipp Elsner from Elsener Messerschmied to do it. He's a professional knifemaker here in Rapperswil Switzerland. Check out his website, linked below. Overall I'm very happy how the Beverly Shear came out and as it is such a unique tool I'll keep it for myself.
I hope you like my work and the video.

Forgotten Rusty Construction Oil Lamp - Restoration
In this video i'm restoring an old oil lamp made by Locher.
Like, comment, subscribe.
My friend found this oil lamp in the steel waste at the recycling station. This one was owned by a big swiss construction company called WALO, it was used as a signal light at construction sites. These oil lamps made by Locher were very common in switzerland for railroads as well. I really liked the look of this lamp, specially the combination of red and white. As I'm still a complete beginner when it comes to painting and working with sheet, I decided to challenge myself and restore this beautiful oil lamp. I learned a lot of new stuff, specially about the painting. The result came out quite nice and I'm happy with it.
I hope you like my work and the video.

1930s Old timer Screwdriver - Perfect Restoration
SUBSCRIBE and check out my new Channel:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCM65z7cJmZUOpWUXVwHOc7g
In this video, I'm restoring a German screwdriver from the 1930s.
My friend found this rare screwdriver in the steel waste at the recycling station. It was dirty, rusty and from its look you can tell that it had a hard life. It was bent in all directions and was used for more than just tighten and loosen screws. I really liked the design of it, specially because of the look of the handle. I've never done woodworking before in my life, that's why I decided to challenge myself and restore this beauty. As I have no clue when it comes to wood, I had to do some research first. I found out that ash wood is very common for handles in general, that's why I decided to go with it. The second thought I had after deciding to restore it was that I'm not going to use any glue to fix the handles. I'm going to use handmade rivets, I've never done that before either. I was really happy with the result, it came out exactly how I wanted.
I hope you like my work and the video.

What Happens When You Drink SeaWater?
SUBSCRIBE and check out my new Channel:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCM65z7cJmZUOpWUXVwHOc7g
Over 2/3rds of the earth is covered in water, but only 2% of that water is pure. As clean drinking water becomes more scarce, you maybe wondering…What happens if I drink seawater?
Let’s first examine how our bodies absorb water. You may remember the process of Osmosis where water moves from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution, through a semi permeable membrane. The cell’s membrane allows water to pass through, but not the particles dissolved in water, like salt. Normally the saltiness of water inside our cells is the same as the saltiness outside our cells. When you drink water, a concentration difference takes place. Water from the outside your cell moves inside to maintain balance. This is called an isotonic state.
When you drink too much seawater, the saltiness outside your cells will increase rapidly and the cells force water molecules out in order to restore balance. So even if you are already dehydrated, drinking sea water will cause your cells to release more water and you will end up peeing out more liquid than you take in.
Conversely if you chug a massive amount of pure water, the exact opposite will happen. The saltiness outside your cells will decrease rapidly and water will be forced into your cells. This can cause the cells to swell and burst, which in extreme cases leads to seizures, coma and sometimes death! This would only occur if you were to chug 6 liters or more in an instant though.
So what can you do if you are stranded on a deserted island with absolutely NO fresh water around? The simplest way to extract fresh clean water from the ocean is through distillation, which separates the salt from the water. In order to distill water you must heat the sea water so it evaporates, then trap the evaporated water vapor until it cools and condenses back into liquid water. Kinda like the moisture on your bathroom mirror after a hot shower. This condensed water will be free of all salt and 100% safe to drink.

Broken Vise Restoration - Gressel SwitBroken Vice Restoration - Gressel Switzerland.
In this video i'm restoring a broken swiss vice.

I bought this vice from a friend for 20$. It was super rusty and dirty, one part was missing, two screws were broken off and the movable jaw was completely stuck. Gressel is very well known in Switzerland for making very good, if not the best vices. That fact made it absolutely worth to restore it. They still produce this type of vice today, they just made some very small changes over the years. I found out that they built their vices in this style until 1991. So it's at least 27 years old. It had the rough jaws on, but you could always choose if you want them with rough or flat jaws when you buy a new one. I'm not a fan at all of the rough jaws, because they ruin every surface of clamped pieces. So I decided to put flat jaws on. I still restored the rough ones and I'm going to keep them. I restored this vice for myself.
I hope you like my work and the video.

Antique Swiss Blowtorch Restoration - with testing! Oerlikon Record
In this video, I'm restoring an antique Swiss blowtorch.
Like, comment, subscribe.
I found this old blowtorch, which was perfect for a nice restoration video. Before I started to disassemble I wanted to know if it still works and it did. The flame was quite inconsistent and fire leaked everywhere. By the first look, I saw that the front piece was damaged very hard, the bolt on top had a lot of slack, the handle of the pump was broken and it didn't lock.
After this first look, I started to disassemble. All the parts were easy to remove and went very well and fast.
To remove the soot and patina I used a mixture of flour, salt and vinegar. This is a very effective and cheap method, it takes a bit of time but it's worth waiting. I left the parts for 7 days. I made a new bolt on the lathe and recut the thread. To make the bolt black, I heated it to around 300-400°C and played it in olive oil, making it also rust proofing. Because I couldn't fix the front piece, I decided to make a new one and it worked very well. I made the gasket for it out of an exhaust gasket, because it had one layer of aluminium in it I first made a hole in the mill, then cut it roughly out and finished it with the belt grinder. Next up I removed all the scratches from the tank with sandpaper. As I can't engrave I decided to scratch the letters deeper with a needle and then I polished it. I did the same with the same with the filler cap and made a new gasket out of cork for it. The shaft from the pump was bent very hard, so I did straighten it with a hammer and polished it. As the handle from the pump was broken and it didn't lock, I decided to make a new one. I designed the handle and I was inspired by pictures of similar blowtorches on the internet, I was quite happy with the result. To make a new leather for the pump, I soaked a piece of leather in pure gasoline. I made a die and stamp to bring the leather in shape. To dry it faster I set it on fire and waited until the flames stopped, held it quickly under water and left it for 24 hours to dry. I took it out of the die, cut it in shape with scissors and pooched a hole in it. I ground the black handle clean with sandpaper on the lathe and made a new profile on the mill, after that I polished it to make it black and shiny. I made a new wick with a cotton cord.
Then I put it all back together. I used just a little bit of grease on all the threads and also on the pump leather. The pump had very good compression after assembling and I was very happy about the overall looking at the end.

Does More Money Equal More Happiness?

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCM65z7cJmZUOpWUXVwHOc7g
Psychologists have discovered that there are essentially 2 types of happiness, Extrinsic and Intrinsic. Extrinsic, focuses on money/material wealth, image and status. Happiness derived from these external sources result in a short-lived dopamine spurt and a never-ending state of wanting more. Intrinsic happiness on the other hand is derived from following a passion, personal growth, making the world a better place or loving relationships with family and friends. These are things that money can’t buy, and result in a long lasting joy from within.

Mass Extinction Crisis TODAY

There have been 6 massive extinctions in our planet’s history. The first, happened 440 million years ago when an Extreme temperature drops froze the oceans and killed 86% of early life on earth.
Over the next 66 million years, the seas repopulated, but an enormous algae bloom sucked up all the oxygen in the ocean and suffocated over half of all aquatic life.
124 million years later, volcanic gases destroyed the ozone and caused the most devastating extinction in our planet’s existence.
Only 50 million years later, a giant volcanic rift split the earth, creating the Atlantic Ocean, but in doing so released a lethal wave of Carbon Dioxide, killing 80% of life.
Evolution had the next 135 million years transform small amphibious creatures into the biggest reptiles to ever roam our planet. However, An asteroid the size of a small city crashed into present-day Mexico rapidly wiping out nearly ALL the dinosaurs.
65 million years later humans have taken over as the dominant species. Our ability to use tools has given rise to an industrial revolution and control over practically every natural environment. With agriculture and modern medicine, the human population has exploded from 1 billion in 1900 to 7.5 billion in 2016.
It is because of our dominance and overconsumption that the 6th mass extinction is happening as we speak. Species today are dying out 1000x faster than before humans existed. There is now more plastic in the ocean than fish! Approximately 15 billion trees are chopped down each year and Carbon Dioxide levels have increased 25% in the last 50 years.
If we continue our destructive trend, Scientists predict half of all living species could be extinct in the next 100 years.
So what can YOU do?
Compost, recycle, start an edible garden, eat less meat, walk or bike instead of drive and do everything you can to reduce your footprint on this planet. We now know that it's going to take MORE than driving a Prius or changing your lightbulb to SAVE OUR PLANET. Every one of us is part of this world, and so what we do--or don’t do--has an impact on the world around us. We got ourselves into this mess, and now it is up to us to solve our way out.

1930s German Spiral Jack - Perfect Restoration

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCM65z7cJmZUOpWUXVwHOc7g
1930s German Spiral Jack Restoration - Bilstein 2500kg.
In this video, I'm restoring a very old, super rusty and dirty German spiral jack. It's a Bilstein from the 1930s, it can lift 2500kg.
Like, comment, subscribe.
I found this spiral jack which needed a restoration desperately. It was super rusty at the bottom and very dirty in general, the top part was bent, but it was still working.
So I started with disassembling, which turned out to be very tricky. I was struggling quite a bit to get the gear wheel off the shaft because it was locked on it with two-pin connections. They were both blind, so I couldn't just hammer the pin out, I had to drill them out. I didn't drill exactly in line with the pins, that's why I needed to drill several times and the holes were not round anymore.
The top piece was forged on the shaft, so I first removed the holding material with my air-die grinder. Then I was able to hammer it off the shaft.
I removed the rivet heads on the bottom with my angle grinder.
Once I had everything in pieces, I started to wash them.
Some pieces I cleaned with sandblasting. I grinded two small pieces clean with the belt grinder, to remove rust and old paint. Same with the square head of the shaft, I welded the holes in it and made it all round and smooth again with the grinding wheel, file and Scotch Brite. I made the same with the gear wheel, but first, I needed to remove the old pins and drill them out. After that, I welded the holes, smoothed the welding with the file, cleaned the inside with reaming and cleaned it all with the steel brush.
To restore the top-end connection I first bent the big piece, made the back flat on the mill and then turned a new section which I will later press on the shaft. I also turned the shaft on the lath, made the same section on it and cleaned the front side. I hammered the disc flat with the hammer and turned the same diameter on the inside. Once I had that, I was able to put them all together, line all 3 pieces up with the old hole and drill that one up again on the mill for a new pin connection. I forged that top end back so that all pieces held tight together without slack. I drilled out the old rivets from the bottom.
Now it was time to paint. As the paint manual says, I cleaned the parts with water, but as soon as it was dry it started to rust again. That's why I covered the inside of it with grease. I painted all the pieces twice with 5 hours in between.
When the paint was dry, I started to assemble. First I put the cover over the spiral, screwed the gear wheel on it and locked the thread again with a weld. Next up I pressed the square shaft in the other gear wheel. I drilled one hole for the pin connection, hammered the pin in and then repeated that for the second pin. After I placed the bearing I put the spiral back in the case and I mounted the cover with the restored 3 screws. I put the piece with the spring in the hole of the back, put the little painted cover piece in and fixed it with another pin. As the last step, I mounted the bottom cover with two rivets, unfortunately, I forgot the press record on my camera, so there's no footage of that.
Last but not least I painted the text white, so it stand out very nicely.
It was a tricky restoration with a lot of machining.
