  • This rusty locking Wing Divider once was used in some workshop, also it's known as a drawing compass. I put a lot of work and effort to restore this antique Divider and make it perfect, it was most accurate restoration with impressive outcome.
    All the restoration process is below:
    This scratch Divider designed for marking & drawing circles and measure gauge distance. It is used in Metalworking Woodworking as well as Leatherworking and made of forged steel. At first need to disassemble it by removing washers and axial pin by drilling them out, it was impossible to do it in other way due to insanely rusted parts, for that we need a hammer and best drift punches. For just Polishing and Grinding I spent 2 days, and for rust removal is good to use 24% vinegar for 48 hours.
    There was one unexpected moment, I had to remove rusted broken adjusting screw in one of the adjustable parts, the best way to do it is heating with blowtorch and then lubricate with oil but it does not work every time. After that is important to make Threading, so we use taps and dies to create new screw threads. The tighter the screw will be, the better the Dividers performance.
    Screw and nut was made out of brass to reduce friction between metals Firm Lathe helped me a lot. All parts was polished with sandpaper to a mirror finish and assembled, I tried to make Maximum quality so worked on small details very precisely. I make a leather Holder for such beautiful Divider.

    Cautions:
    Always wear a hand protection while working with sharp tools. Always wear eye protection when working with grinders. Stay Focused.

      Very nice to hear that mate 🙂 trying my best to make quality content and im really happy when people enjoy watching my videos, also upgrading myself every day, my goal is to buy a good camera, right now i have almost nothing, my equipment is very poor, all my videos done with phone and primitive handmade steel "tripod"

    "My Mechanics" finally has some competition.

    • @RobertoRMOLA
      @RobertoRMOLA Před 3 lety +2

      NO WAY!! My Mechanics shows absolutely all and every step of their restoration. Not what I saw here, unfortunately. There are some sort of "synopsis" or "condensation" that's not very fair. For example, that hammering of the rivet over a wooden table is ridiculous! Earlier on the video a totally rusted and pitted part suddenly appears on the screen shining as a mirror! All these processes are usually sought by restoration "aficionados" viewers. An assumption of what was done, on the part of the latter, oversimplifies what could be a good video, in my opinion. The final result seemed excellent, but the method to get there was not shown ... what a pity! I didn't like it...

    • @chinaman1
