Glass Blast – 1890 Era Doctors Buggy

admin — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 06:46:58 +0000

Glass blasting an 1890 vintage Doctors Buggy frame to remove years of paint and rust. Substrate is Wood and steel in a laminate. Was blasted at 50 PSI with recycled crushed glass with an Eco-Blast.Com H258-HO-LP All-Media Blaster. Glass was chosen because it would cut the coatings faster doing less damage to soft substrate. The metal would have needed a harder abrassive than soda in order to remove the rust. More information is available at www.Soda-Blast.com.

How To Refurbish a Metal Shipping Container

admin — Fri, 28 May 2010 12:18:13 +0000

I made this video to show the process by which I refurbish shipping containers. First we grind off any loose flaky rust. It’s fine to have some mild surface rust as we treat it with a rust converter which turns the rust into a hard paintable substance. The product we use is not unlike the products sold to treat the rust on automobile frames or bodies when being restored. After the rust converter has dried (typically the next day), we brush all of the areas that can not be rolled. Finally we roll all of the flat spots on the shipping container. Although we didn’t show it in the video, we pay special attention to the roof of the shipping container as that is where a leak is most likely to develop. Therefore we make sure to grind off any rust, prime with the rust converter, and paint the entire roof of the storage container.

AWA MODEL 70 , Chassis Made In 1935 / 135Volts/ 6 Volts D.C Battery Radio / With Tracking Arial

admin — Mon, 24 May 2010 03:26:16 +0000

The original cabinet was oil / diesel damaged , a bit worm infested , and the cabinet just a bit too tired to restore for my liking. So I decided to try something different, to design a cabinet , and basically give it the typical 30’s look , a bit art deco and with a look it could go into any room of a house. The tracking arial makes a huge difference instead of the old common piece of wire , as you will notice with the radio playing , with the knob on the arial getting adjusted. The arial is a proto type where the base will also be made out of American Oak , a bit of Brass Plate added , Bolts the same in the radio , and repo cord for the cable . The Knob was actually made for a Stewart Warner console radio , which was left over by a guy who is a magician on a lathe , which was made out of wood. You will also notice the small case on the bottom right at the back of the radio , which I made to house two fob watch type Volt and Amp meters. The edging is Brass Angle , with Brass Bolts , with Felt added to the holding Brass Plates . This alone , took a day and a half to finally built and finish.

1/ The chassis was fully stripped , where I replaced all valves with new / old stock,
caps where done, as with all wires cloth rewired
2/ Cloth wire was used to fully rewire the radio , with cotton turns on the valve leads
and power cords
3/ All brass hardware , nuts and bolts where buffed and sealed.
4/ The valve cans where re sprayed as close to the original Blue , ” didn’t think they
had a metallic paint back then ” which where rusty and made of steel.
5/ The caps are aluminum , where I buffed them as well , and sealed , as they
where Blue as well where I could have sprayed Blue if I want to later.
6/ The other two caps where buffed as well, which where painted , ” The size of
pressure can caps.
7/ Variable cap was cleaned in Caustic Soda
8/ Dial lamp was a rebuild with all brass and copper fittings s buffed and sealed
9/ The rectangle boxes in Blue is power packs , where RED and BLACK is 2 x 135
packs and GREEN and YELLOW are 2 x 6 VOLT rechargeable 7 amps packs for
memory where I have bolted to the chassis. The 135 pack was bolted to the base
plate.
10/ The speaker I rebuilt , rewired , all hardware buffed and sealed with repo
power cord. The Brass rings x 2 I cut , drilled , made 5mm ferrels for spacers
With the speaker grill which is basically aluminum fly screen , where I
sprayed , made a stencil up and sprayed R.G.B. ” Radio Gram Bloke ” with the
rubber extrusion, for what they use in cars around the doors . The rings is where
I went for the art deco look.
11/ The wood Is American Oak, where the base is 25mm thick, the surround is 5 mm
thick, with the Acrylic 8 mm thick. The wood I stained In Australian Walnut
which is a typical 20 -30 s look stain.
12/ The Brass Face plate has been engraved , where I used a porcelain paint and
Baked .
13/ The Brass Screw head bolts , are typical 1930’s , where I found a box of them
they also have a very fine groove around the head , which just gives that little bit
detail
14/ I used some Gold pin stripe , as High lights , where I think it sets the radio off

15 / Im currently making up a small compartment where I have bought some volt and
amp fob watch style gauges where these will be attached in American Oak to The
135 volt pack , with Brass bolts etc

Overall , this was a big learning curb for me , because there was a lot of things
to take into account , measurements , design , changes ” just the speaker grill was 10 attempts , with colour , mounting the speaker and everything to size. The cabinet I had laser cut , as with the wood. Then it was the scenario , of making everything fit , drill holes, shortening brass bolts , to use brass dome nuts.
The reason I built the cabinet was for ”promo ” work , when people come around , if they want a restoration done , plus I wanted a conversation piece that was different , and possibly looking interesting. So , now it will go into my display room with the other Radios / Gramophones. Thanks for watching the video.

Cheers
