- This crusty old compressor needed a lot of love. It was a fun restoration but not without its challenges. Lead based paint and Asbestos all in one tool! Restore challenge excepted!

Fantastic. That compressor sure is built, unlike the throwaway units they make today.
This was an amazing resto-mod!!!! I have been sooooooo impatiently waiting for this video ever since Steven dropped off this compressor to your shop. I know whoever the lucky winner is, will surely have a quality piece to add to their shop.
Very nicely done. I especially liked where you 'polished' the edges of the fins and such. I love the red, very similar to my '07 Mitsubishi Galant. I bought a '79 Arien's snowblower for $60. Now I got about $180 after new points, condenser, spark plug, belts, and ball bearing to augur and built my own set of chains out of 24' of 5/16" chain, 12' of longer link for sides, and shorter for treads and 4 turnbuckles, but a great machine. I have an itch to take it totally apart and redo everything. I put the rubber pads on which helps a lot so I put a little 'turbo' decal on it. As far as the compressor, I'd love to have it but rather bow out and let someone else enjoy, at least I hope they really enjoy it. Looks like it might be a nice tire inflator. I believe it should be run like everything else needs to be run, especially our bodies, lol. Thanks for sharing.
I love the way that art deco combines a beautiful design and functionality. Loved this video.
You are living my dream restoring vintage machinery. I'm in central Texas and plan on visiting the museum soon. Another great restoration and rescuing a beautiful machine from the scrap pile.
Hi Justin....I've been dealing with electrical and electronics for over fifty years. Here's a tip for future restorations: Change power cords on any old equipment to 3-wire (grounding plug), and attach the ground wire to the casting (or metal body of the tool/machine. Also, I would have replaced that old switch. New exact replicas are available online, and I wouldn't trust the old one for very long. The restoration, however, was very cool...as is that marvelous old compressor!! Thanks to you, and Stephen, for another great video! :-)
Finally!!! I get to see restoration of something OTHER than a vise.
The Colours look good together.
Im a big fan of those old toggle switches, they are so sweet!
Justin, I had a great time visiting with you at your shop, and the museum is a great little place to visit with the family.
+driftpunch It was nice meeting you as well!
i was born and raised in toledo ohio which is where that compressor was made. i drove by the plant hundreds of times over the years. it was closed down many years ago. it was nice to see the toledo tag on its side.
That was a rust bucket of sadness and you turned it into a smooth running cool classic symbol of the early to late 50s where everything was meant to look all futuristic and spacey. Good on you dude.
Oh that compressors awesome is beautiful I love the black and red candy red I enjoy these restoration videos I love to see old things come back to life and I would love to own that little compressor oh yeah good luck to whoever gets that it's going to be a great little piece
Love the red with black and then silver stripes! Reminds me of a race car lol. Nice restoration!
Great job on the restoration! Couldn't be better!
That's a nice old air brush compressor. DeVilbiss has and still does make great air atomized and HVLP spray equipment. Thanks again Justin.
It turned out real great.
What a gorgeous piece of equipment. Why can't things be built these days to look beautiful as well as be functional? Awesome job and a proper restoration, not just a clean up and paint job.
Gotta love 1940s tech
Wow, the inside of the motor looked great compared to the outside!
Dang, this beautiful compressor belongs in a living museum!
They built things to last back then, unlike now days were everything is practically disposable.
Agreed! I am all too aware of that, I have piles of things I've collected just waiting to be fixed! (and I can't find anywhere to recycle the ones beyond fixing)
@@TheFurriestOne There's a channel on CZcams called Hand tool restore. If it's old he can fix it.
I'm thinking you mean Hand Tool Rescue, who I already follow and enjoy every video, but thank you!
You could be right there. Good luck.
Just WOW. Great restore! 👏👏👏
I checked oil on a Devilbliss compressor once a week for 30 plus years, I was pleased to see they haven't changed oil plug design an iota,very comfortable and user friendly,quality.
Another great job Justin.Gary
Very good job. Beautiful restoration
It turned out awesome
Y would I want to fast forward through a kick ass video like this. It’s not like u post one ever day anyways. 😂😂😂
Beautiful restoration as always!
Looks great! Really like the red.
Awesome restore lots of fun to watch 😁
Awesome Job Justin!
Love the color and great work on the resto!
I like the color combo. That thing was very 40-50's era art deco. Love it. I don't need it so i'll abstain from the give away but I'll keep a look out on Stephen's channel for the video anyway just to get some views on it to help him out. Nice job, sir! Hopefully i'll get a chance to meet you guys in a few months.
That just has late 1940's design written all over it. What a piece of art! Great restoration brother!
I love your videos so much. It takes me a few days to get through a whole video because I keep falling asleep they are so relaxing. If you added the rain sound throughout the video I'd be in trouble. Love that you're doing. Keep it up!
Good creation of old age
Beautiful piece of work
That's an AWESOME paint scheme!
One of the prettiest things I've seen you do .
That really come out nice!
Love the resto and love the color
I finally bought me some rust converter. I love the color after it is finished. What a great product. 😁
It's good stuff. I started playing with how long I leave it on changing the finish. Full cure makes it a rust proof hard finish.
Great Job, you make gaskets faster than FEL-PRO.
I really do like your videos the lot
The colors are great
Like the way this one turned out: Like the colors and the way the name stands out now. Good job!
I think it's great I love this kind of stuff bringing old stuff to life again I like doing that with old fishing reels even push buttons..
Damn fine rebuild.
Looks great. Nice job.
It is looking great
Ok there smarty pants I saw what you did! Love the way you fixed the screw head.
Looks awesome as always
Really like the look.
Fantastic job love to see good old things to come back to life
Never thought I’d cover an air compressor. Great restoration!
rock solid construction this one....they don´t make it like that anymore....cool
Now there is a lost art, hand making screws that way O.o as a kid more than 40 years ago I used to watch my grandfather make them for all sorts of stuff and he would temper 'em. He was a Royal Navy artificer during WW2 and said it was always quicker to knock something up out of stuff than go down the shop :)
it a great color and you did a great job on it
Well done.
Love the video. Have you ever thought about a little bit of narration while doing this? Hearing a little bit of your knowledge along the way would be so great. It is so nice to see your videos. I love them.
Love the color!
Looks great.
thats awesome.. beautiful job
as always colors great
These videos are so fun to watch. So I'm pressed with your repair skills.
Awesome job!
Dude, your to good. You have so much patience and attention to detail. Great job on this I could never do anything this great I'm to impatient and to bust great job
I love asbestos and lead paint, it’s such a shame we don’t use them anymore
love the color
I love how you use your opienel in your videos. Best pocket knife ever
Absolutely love yours Stevens in chucke2009 videos keep up the good work
Hermoso compresor maestro...buen mantenimiento...
Nice work!
Thank you for this nice restoration. That is exactly what I needed after a day like this one. Hat to drive 70km in the rain (8°C outside) with my scooter for nothing. I love it when people don't answer calls and messages...
That red color is beautifull, locks like candy. After 5 min of watching I thought... hmmm there was no rain until 6:30min ... I love that consistency, no video without raindrops smashing on your roof.
Would be nice to own a piece of your work but shipping to Germany would be mutch to expensive!
The Art-Deco period was truly amazing !
All hail our Cylon Overlord!
Great job Justin! I love how the older tools have design as well as function. Very cool
Just another amazing restoration, love it. Thank you for sharing your story. God bless you and your family
It's very pretty.
Bravo !bravo !!
Awesome job
Looks great
Very nice job
Love the colours, nice job restoring that tool.
Came out awesome Justin. When you started to do the rust converter i thought to myself, that color and shine up the highlights. Bam! Thats what you did. Red adds a little flare. Great job!
Great job, when l have to make a gaskets it is better to do holes first before you cut out the gasket it helps to stop it from splitting
Cool restore ! I collect, restore and use tools from 1930s-70s. About 80 % of my workshop is 1940s/50s.
This brings back memories. My dad had the same compressor and in the early 60's I used it to fill my 28" bike tires.I recall it putting out a max of about 30 psi. Now that I see the insides of it I think I know why. LOL. I don't think it had ever been serviced. (dad bought it used)
I was waiting for you to cut those top end gaskets on momma's machine.
Gary P.
That’s what I thought but doing it old school worked just as well.
Besides, Amy probably didn’t want her Cricut covered in Justin’s fingerprints......again.
*The Good of the Land* Excellent restoration, man I could watch these all day. Love your techniques, copy them all the time. Looking forward to future videos.
I have that exact model, that resto turned out really nice. mine is from the late 50s early 60s and i use it to airbrush small motorcycle parts.
10:25 *Old School! Nice!*
Another great restoration, the color is great reminds me of candy apple red.
If I was shipping that thing I would crate it in wood, it is already going to cost a fair amount you might as well make sure it doesn't get damaged.
I will gladly drive to Lindale and pick it up right now! No need to bother with a contest.
As always, enjoyable to watch and I'm a fan when it comes to your decisions on mixing original look and feel with with your creative flair. ... cheers
The project came out great. I love the color, nice choice ;)
Nice job.....I use to have one of those when I was young...good compressor but did not have enough CFM for what I needed.....CHEERS
Awsome! I realy love those old compressors!...
Sweet!
That’s a fantastic job you did. 👍
A lovely restoration of a period piece, as always loving your videos and if I ever get over to the USA from Thailand I will be coming to pay a visit! Inspiring work and thank you as always for sharing your love of these machines!
Nicely done. It sucks that no-one makes anything like this new anymore. When did we loose the idea of function with some class?
