- ABOUT THE COPPER TEA KETTLE
In this video I will be restoring a copper tea kettle that has been sitting in a barn with a leaky roof longer than I've been alive. I bought this kettle at an estate sale in eastern Idaho, I was immediately awestruck at the thick crystalline green patina it developed. The previous owner was in her late 80's and had unfortunately just passed from covid-19. Her family was selling all of her possession's and that's how I was able to stumble across this beautiful forgotten treasure. I offered her family $10 for it and took it back home with me.
After doing some research on the internet I was able to find out that this tea kettle was manufactured by a company called "Baker Hart & Stuart" who made copper and porcelain cookware and went out of business in the early 1980s.
ABOUT THE RESTORATION
This was my first official restoration ever. The disassembly went along pretty
smoothly, until I noticed exactly how bad the condition of this kettle actually was. The rust pits were a real challenge to sand down, it took over two days to get it perfectly smooth. There were also way more dents and dings than I could see with the patina still attached. After I sand blasted the nuts that hold the handle on I realized that I had to learn how to copper plate quick haha. Overall I'm really proud of the way this restoration turned out considering its initial state. I hope that you and all of the people who watched were entertained. If you're reading this right now I want to thank you and let you know that I appreciate you watching my content.

Let me know what you would like to see restored next in the comments below! ⤵⤵⤵
You should do an axe or maybe a knife
Militaria or zippo lighters
@@shuvoalamgir8939 is militaria a lighter brand? I've never heard of it. Maybe i should look into it
@@SatisfyingRestoration no Militaria are things like military knives, medals or other things that you can collect
You got it I’ll do it just for you to show that I’m grateful for your comments 👍
The colours of the corrosion look nice from a distance but up close it looks mouldy af. I found it very satisfying to watch this restoration, which is handy as that's why I came here 😄
Thanks for sharing
Actually I think it looks pretty good even close up I would have just sprayed it with a sealer and left it
@@KMF3 👍
I think it was aged with chemicals, applied with a sponge.

Thank you 😊
another creator like this is rescue and restore ( i think its in that order)
You are the quintessential example of someone who loves and excells in doing the tedious and exacting tasks it takes to turn ugly into beautiful. Stunning transformation and very satisfying to watch. The fact you made tiny parts needed exemplifies what you are all about. Thank you.
Now I understand why people have traditionally loved copper (and brass) household items. Such a beautiful glow.
The kettle looks amazing!
And I think it's Dutch. My mom has a few of these, all inherited from my grandmother.
The handle and knob also make it look Dutch.
Really possible! Those kind of white and blue porcelain looks a lot like those from Delft!
@@Spyritussanctis I'm Dutch and from that city and can confirm it is Dutch and the handle is Delfts blue as we call it here.
I also thought it was Dutch. The people who threw it away were really stupid.
Amazing skill and restoration.
Mooi kooeren theepot ja
I cannot get over how magical sandblasting is! Like the piece is shedding it's aged shell to reveal something like new 💙
I used to do sandblasting for a living. Depending on the fineness of the sand it does remove a fair bit of the material. And if there is a hole in your glove and the sand hits your finger, stings like a bastard. :)
@@bobmetcalfe9640 does coarser sand remove more material?
@@capers72424 Yes it does, it leaves a less smooth surface, and wears through your gloves a lot quicker as well. :)
@@bobmetcalfe9640 thanks for the confirmation,that is what made sense to me…
@@bobmetcalfe9640 that sorta shiz is why it's important to make sure all your safety equipment is functional and serves it's purpose
If this was not a labor of love, then I do not know what is! Your patience is two fold - first, your attention to every detail of the restoration process and second, your attention to detail with regard to the video process. Such clean shots, excellent close-ups, very helpful descriptions. Well done, sir! If the original coppersmith were to see what you've done I'm sure he'd shed a tear of gratitude!
You rubbed it so much, I expected a genie coming out of it.
Also it’s really satisfying to hear the natural noises
Beautiful
I recommend getting yourself an old trailer hitch ball and polish it up. They make for good anvils to reshape rounded things just like this teapot. Best thing is, they fit inside the teapot if you have the right vice or mounting jig! We use these in metalsmithing to form rounded surfaces (and sometimes teapots too!) edit: another method you can use is to mount a hammer into the vice and use that as your inside "anvil" surface, and then use your mallet on the outside to tap it gently. The key is to keep the material (teapot wall in this case) in between both hammer surfaces.
2,000,000 IQ post right here. totally genius! Thank you for sharing, ill use this in a future video!
@Satisfying Restoration That's a lotta IQ!

I don’t know the 1st, 2nd or 3rd thing about metal smithing but this sounds like some solid advice from an expert! 😆
You don't hammer on the dolly hammer just off it
... you stretch the metal directly hammering in and ditch the hitch ball go get autobody hammer and dolly set . Many great videos on here on how it works
When it said "perfect", after hammering the handle back into shape, and it was LITERALLY perfect, I was like 🤩🤩🤩
i’m a first year mechanical engineering student and i found it very exciting and satisfying to see the tools and machines that i just learned how to use in use for a restoration. super cool!
There’s so much skill in restoring this piece. I’ve never seen a restoration piece but after watching it, I have so much respect for the kind of art you recreate. You gave it new life 🎉
I'm devastated this is the only video on this channel, I could watch this for hours on end. I love videos like this with no talking or music, I feel like I can actually focus on what's being shown to me.
The only other channel I have found that is as good as this one is My Mechanics.
@@jeffrobertson441 i quite enjoyed a video i saw the other day by Rescue & Restore
Same feeling
@@jeffrobertson441 I agree.
So I just discovered I was wrong. Rescue and Restore may even top My Mechanics. Check out the candy roller he restored - amazing!!
While I loved the color of that patina, this kettle was still in good enough condition to be restored and put back into use. Thank you very much for giving it another life!
I would have liked to keep it untouched on a shelf.
Beautifully done. I had an identical kettle to this one which I loved but never used. Gave it away brand new in the box a number of years ago. I hope someone is loving and using it now, as hopefully this one, too, will be loved and used. Thank you - such a wonderful gift (skill!) you have. ❤️
Let me first say wow!! What a beautiful copper kettle. I may have been part of the "patina brigade" as another commentor mentioned, but changed my mind once I saw what you restored it to. I love patina on copper, but not when it's on a kettle you drink water out of.
I would have been hesitant to sandblast soft copper but I have to admit this restoration came out beautifully. Thanks for restoring such a lovely kettle.
You can use a multitude of different mediums with a sandblaster depending on how delicate the piece is. Glass bead medium is ideal for things like copper because the round shape prevents damaging softer surfaces and it also puts a decent shine on the surface minimizing the polishing you have to do later. If you have something extremely delicate, ground walnut shell or corn cob medium is the way to go.
@@Rowgue51 You can also combine all that by regulating the pressure of the jet
@@Rowgue51 UU
Scrubbing with a plastic bristle brush and a salt and vinegar paste could have worked too, even without metal brushing the oxide off first. But there's no denying that this came out looking beautiful and it seemed the copper was thick enough to withstand the sanding of high spots without developing holes.
Typically the insides of copper kettles are tin plated/clad to avert excessive amounts of copper getting into the water. This would be a good idea for any kettle being put to practical use and would be another guard against developing holes.
I don't know why, but the shot of the two handles straitened and matching perfectly is awesome 😊 Good job at restoring!
Tnx. for awesom video, I'm glad that there are still people like that who care about precision and beauty, I thought we were disappearing, I have no words to express my admiration, BRAVO keep up the good work, we are not disappearing, respectful from old BG.
It isn't until you see a video like this that you can come to appreciate just how much work was needed to make something as humble as a kettle in the olden days. In the modern age of mass production and throwing out of sound but old and obsolete items, we've forgotten that often times, something like that kettle might have been a treasured family heirloom and passed down the generations from mother to daughter. And it sheds light on why so many old kitchens hadracks that bright shiny copper pots and pans would hang from!
Mine still are, decended 8 generations from Wales UK
An impressive show of skill! I never anticipated I would watch a restoration of a kettle tonight, but here we are. Beautifully done :)
Love the way the pot just “floats” and spins in the outro! That’s something I’ve never seen on other restoration videos. Great idea!
I am memorized watching you restore this tea kettle . You have such extraordinary talent. I suffer from extreme anxiety caused by trauma. I became very relaxed watching you turn this kettle into a thing of beauty . Thank you so very much , you are an amazing man . Such skill ,such patience . I don’t need to take my medicine right now , and I’m going to sleep for a while . God Bless you , ✝️
A new restorationist on the rise? Hell yes, let's get this train pumping some steam!
I wish there was a way to preserve the patina in the exterior and make it safe to use, because it’s beautiful
That would be cool!
Well, you can't preserve it, but it should be possible to take a flake in to the hardware store and color-match some paint.
Completely agree. It looked stunning
Couldn’t you put a food safe sealant on it to do that?
Wait. Explain it to me like I'm 5. Why can't you drink from this now that it's restored?
This is one of the most satisfying restoration videos I've ever watched! 😌 Ahh so happy
Oh my gosh, I got this exact tea pot at a local thrift store! Loved to see one restored and learn about it!
I love these kinds of restorations. A bit of finagling was needed, like the makeshift anvil, but it gives heart to anyone attempting such a job without a fully equipped engineering shop. As always, the majority of the hard work was at the prep stage, where great care was taken. Many thanks.
Thank you I appreciate the comment
The corrosion is so beautiful I’d rather just cover it in a thick layer of clear epoxy or ofhe resin.
Why inside the copper kettle there is no corrosion ???
He may have added the corrosion before the restauration.
Exactly. It looked beautiful. It's like polishing old coins. You just don't do it.
@@jlvelar he cleaned it off camera. If you go through the comments, you can read that he did that because the video would otherwise be much to long.
Turquoise is a gemstone, it is also just copper oxide. Malachite it also a beer pretty stone but again it's color comes from copper oxide.
What a beautiful kettle! My favorite part of this type of restoration is the sand blasting. It's somehow very satisfying to watch years of neglect just disappear. 😄 Thanks for the great video!
thank you for watching
Great editing and great camera work! The teapot looks amazing! So satisfying to watch this beautiful piece be restored. The knob you found for the lid matches perfectly. The sandblasting was awesome! Thanks for the video!
Absolutely beautiful!! You did a mesmerizing job on this old kettle!! I love watching old things returning to their former glory.
I've got this exact kettle, but with a wooden handle that appears to be a replacement someone made on a lathe. Got it for free at a garage sale.
I was just wondering what it would look like if i polished it up, and there it is.
That’s awesome man! Thanks for watching
The porcelain handle is so cute. Never would have thought the patina came off so easily
It looks so stunning! Copper is a wonderful metal, fabulous with a shine! So happy I got to see this!
Now you can make yourself a nice cup of tea after all that hard work. You deserve it!
Furious hammering sounds 😂 speed increase brought a smile in addition to the great restoration
This is what kind of patience you need to have to do this kind of work. Amazing.
For your first video - wow. No frills, nothing over the top in terms of edits and an absolutely stunning end result! Cannot wait to see what you do next. As others have pointed out, you are the first I’ve seen whose video rivals My Mechanics and Rescue & Restore. So happy I found you!
Thank you for the wonderful comment, the next video I’m currently editing will blow this out of the water for sure I hope you will be a long time subscriber 👍
Masterful. Very impressive. Respect. Loved it. Thanks.
That was just lovely. I always enjoy these fixer uppers.
Beautifully restored and presented. Your editing and restoration skills are superb.
I noticed that the “Patina Brigade “ didn’t like your work, however I have been restoring things for a few years now and resale of an item rusted or covered in “patina” differs very little, if at all in resale value.
I personally like a clean restoration like you have done as it shows respect to the item and enabling it to be used for another few generations.
Let’s face it, who would make a cup of tea in that kettle before you restored it?
Thank you so much for that wonderful comment 👍
I love it! Patina brigade!!!!😁😆😅😆😅
Not to mention that copper oxides are poisonous.
If there is no difference in price why spend hours restoring it?
@@mikemclennan8917
Oh, I don’t know…. Maybe because it gives a feeling of satisfaction while working with hands to give extra life to a beautiful object. I’m just guessing…..!!
This is true artistry!. You are a master craftsman. I marveled at how you made the rivets and the other parts. I have great respect for your skills. Wunderbar!!
Your wife is so fortunate to have you. I'm a widow. I miss things like this.
Thank you
Amazing work! I’m impressed by your patience! I bought about 7 or 8 copper pieces and they’re just badly tarnished, nothing like this was! I have hope for them now! I need to get to work on them!! Bless you for the patience you obviously have! You’re a master!! ❤
wonderful video! very informative, clear information, and no annoying music! bravo!
You turned back time for this little guy, good job!
Thank you for saving that beautiful tea kettle!
Your videos have been extremely soothing for my anxiety. 🙇♀️ 🎀 The teapot 🫖 just blew me away. I love ❤️ your skill and patience. 😊
It turned out amazingly beautiful. You did an excellent job 👍
I liked the patina as was.
Wow...its shinning like glass . .. u r a genius !!!
Thank you for the no background music and natural ASMR type sounds. You did such a great job with this tea kettle. I loved watching it.
I love your orange mallet. It reminds me of a little yellow hammer my baby brother had. He was just learning to pull himself up to standing, while holding tight to the playpen rail. I took one of his crib sheets that was in the laundry basket, put it over my head like a ghost, snuck up to his playpen while he was standing & said, "Boo!" Without batting an eye, he proceeded to hit be over the head with his tiny, yellow, plastic hammer... Like, "Phff! Ain't no ghost making me scared!"
Excelente restauración! quedo hermosa la pava! Sos un profesional de la tornería también! Gracias por el vídeo.
WOW! Such an insane restoration. Done so perfectly. Keep up the good work! 😃
Just amazing! i would never have believed this could be done.
Я одна включаю эти видео перед сном? Так успокаивают эти звуки, лучше любого as me😌😌
Nice work as always. Amazing. Restoring is an art, what needs knowledge and soul. Enjoy your videos. Blessings.
Funnily enough I believe this exact (non-corroded version) tea kettle is a piece of the still-life we're doing in art class. Just thought it was really cool
Incredible work with those thin delicate pieces of metal. I’m amazed by all the hammering you did without deforming or denting anything. That’s very difficult to accomplish. Respect!
Beautiful job. I love it. I love antiques. I resfored an old dresser & it was an amazing feeling & site. Old things are made of stronger materials, kind of like the old "steel" cars compared to the "cardboard & plastic" cars of today. 👍😁
The "cardboard and plastic" cars are made to go crunch and absorb impact so that the passengers don't. O.o
@@theyoftheravens I have a 78 Silverado, and a 2017 passat.
I'm in way better shape if I get into an accident in the 78 over the 2017. Those steel bodies aren't as flimsy.

@@anonymoose116 Mate, are you serious? The Passat has a 5 star ANCAP safety rating; 70's Chevrolets had centre lap belts standard. Ryb et. al. 2011 and several other studies would beg to differ with your assertion. Stick with it if you want, but RIP your femurs and thoracic organs in a high-speed collision...

Perfect, now. I want a nice cup of tea.
What an amazing transformation, almost looks brand new
Absolutely stunning and therapeutic watching how it is done ❣
That is so clever what you did with the lid and the drill.

It came out very nice was the understatement of the year it’s absolutely gorgeous and thoroughly enjoyed watching you bringing this piece back to life.
Beautifully restored kettle! Great job! I think I just saw a big smile on the kettle's face, he feels so much better and younger!
This video keeps popping up in my feed and I finally watched it. Glad I did! What a lovely kettle.
I like the simple, everyday objects best sometimes. Things that you just know were part of a family’s life for ages before they got in the shape they’re in. They tell stories better than the unusual objects sometimes.
And you did a beautiful job of continuing this kettle’s story.
I don’t envy you all that sanding, though.
The fact that you found the KNOB that matches the handle PERFECT.🤯🥰 Very satisfying
Wow! Fabulous restoration. Amazing, God-given talent. I just love the copper finish.
You did a awesome job of cleaning that copper kettle up and polishing it. It looks like new. Not a single dent left. Great work.
Really good job! I love the details you offered in the description :)

Fantastic demonstration of your skill and perseverance in bringing back this sad little teapot to its former glory!
As for the "patina brigade".... I do think that some RARE or exceptional pieces suffer from a reduction in value if their age-generated patina is removed. But most old, corroded items are much better served with the restoration that you have done -- bringing them back to their original, utilitarian beauty and function.
Can't wait to see your future work!
True, I like patina as much as the next but patina on a 500 yr old weathervane is not the same as this level of crust on a kettle that is relatively new.
It's nice to see that you are so clamming and knowledgeable. You have inspired many. OORAH!!
I'm in awe so beautiful
Can’t wait to see more incredible restorations! Keep them coming.
It’s amazing how clean the handle and inside are for something was “wasn’t artificially corroded”
Almost as if the inside was protected by a lid or something
@@dzr4421 imagine thinking that a kettle was a sealed container 😂 theres a spout you muppet
What a difference a little love makes. Excellent. Thank you.
