Most Rusted 100 Year Old Kitchen Scale I've Ever Seen Restoration!

I like when people try to keep the original vibe of whatever they're restoring instead of trying to reinvent it, I really appreciate it

I literally picked up a cousin to this scale just the other day, in about the same shape, minus the manure. Same general shape and idea, but slightly smaller, different name on the front, slightly different weight range markings, and the back of mine is squared off instead of rounded. And here I was thinking "Do I just file down the rivets, crack it open, and see what I'm working with? Is this the piece where I dive in, instead of just watching other people do it on youtube?" Apparently, yes! So glad I've got this to be something of a guide. 😊 My mom says that in "Call The Midwife" (and presumably IRL too) they had scales similar to these in their kits - they'd put the newborn baby on a shawl or whathaveyou, tie a knot to make a sling, then hook it thru the hook of a scale like this, in order to weigh the babies!

Excellent idea with laser engraving the gold leaf. Worked a treat 👌

Обалдеть, весы ожили. Спасибо, лайкаю мастеру за труд.

This kind of scales are build over hundred Years and we can buy them brand new. There are not much tools, which exist so long till now. That makes it worth to restore. Thanks for the Video.👍👍👍👍👍

It looks great and you did a wonderful job restoring it as well!!!! I enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up for the support of your channel

I really liked this restoration. Especially your fix for the heavily pitted faceplate and how you salvaged it. Your solution to restoring the text and lines by engraving in the gold leaf was a bit inspired. Well done on this project.

Hello mister beautifully restored good job well done

Amazing what can be accomplished if you really want too. With the gold leaf surface, it doubled the value for sure... Thumbs Up!
