Unique Restorations's video: 1920 s Iron Restoration Old Tool Restoration Stop Motion Restoration

I had mixed feelings regarding this little Iron, I bought it over two months ago but wasn’t too enthusiastic about restoring it. I loved the character and design of this iron but due to the fact there were processes used during the manufacturing which I new I couldn’t recreate I had my doubts. The rust damaged surface on the base plate was a big problem as I had no way to resurface it. I had initially thought maybe I could use a high temperature chrome spray but I couldn’t find any so I settled on the polished finish which doesn’t look too bad. Another problem I encounted was the ceramic finish, I had bought the Titanium stick to fill an repair the damaged parts but this didn’t work out the way I wanted so I had no choice but to remove it and repaint. I thought that once I had over come these little issues the rest would be reasonably straight forward but one more thing had to go wrong. While cleaning the generator the throttle lever broke off, I have looked on line for a replacement but as yet I haven't found anything suitable. I will keep looking and hopefully find something so I can finish it properly. I feel very disappointed with the way this one ended but sometimes that’s the way it goes. Hopefully in time I will have a short video ready with the Iron working. I hope you like the stop motion in this video, I have tried to add it just to give a little bit more light hearted entertainment. Let me know what you think in the comments below.
