- In this video I decide to give an old tool box a little character! I start by dissembling the box, then I move to my new sand blasting cabinet. Lots of firsts for me in this video, I learned how to sand blast, powder coat and even some metal working. I hope you guys enjoy, if you do leave a like and a comment.

Much Love,

A wonderful tribute to my late great grandfather, William the first, as he used this when he did his job as an early electrician. I just wish my dad (William III) were still here to do these projects with you. I'm in love with the turn out and appreciative of my help in choosing how the restoration turned out!
XO
Thanks for the opportunity to keep this box in the family for years to come Mrs. Restoration! 😊💙
Wait what
How can you not love a restored toolbox with a custom handle made from a wrench! Brilliant!
Thanks Chris!
Sensational job of the old toolbox! Hope it will serve for many more years.
UuuaaauuuU!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Parabéns pelo belo Trabalho e Criatividade no cabo!!! Adorei!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😍😍😍
You went above and beyond...love the way you remained calm
I’ve 4 rusty dented boxes similar to yours. Loved the video, great ideas, great technique. Got to find someone with a blast cabinet and away I go. Let’s see more restorations. Great video. Thanks
WOW ! 👊
👍😉
This has been very enjoyable to watch. The hours of work that went into this perfect restoration.🤟
Thank you sir!
wow amazing
Awesome! I can't tell you how many "befores" I see in antiques shops!
Am I supposed to be Impressed with this?
Hello again! Congratulations on the new equipment. This turned out decent in the end. The powder coating looks like it turned out well. While it was sad to see the original hardware go, it was incredibly pitted, and would have possibly failed fairly soon. I also suspect that those d-rings may not have been original to the box. For constructive feedback, work on paying attention to the smaller details to take your projects to the next level. For example, when using pop rivets, they should all be installed from the same side, preferably the exterior, for aesthetic reasons. Backing washers can be used to reinforce the interior side, if needed. Any excess shank can be filed or ground down for extra clearance, if necessary. You definitely have talent, and good instincts. I will enjoy watching you progress, and hope my feedback is useful to you. Thank you for sharing your craft with us.
Hey James, thanks I didn’t think to use a washer at the time! The holes were too big and a washer would have allowed me to put the rivets in the same way. I’ll have to go fix that! Thanks again for the advise!
How about paint color
Purple x pink for aesthetic
That is a great smiley face at 6:56. Good video Dr. R :-)
Thanks Vince! I’ve been practicing my smilies 🙂
Great job I used to powder coat for Black and Decker many moons ago they had a line where we could have up to eight colours being painted. I used to hand paint the underside of the workmates they built. I like to watch it being done. I was also an agricultural fitter before that so this project reminds me of the two jobs I worked at right from being a fifteen year old apprentice. Until I had an accident at work. Keep up the good work. 👍👍👍👍👍 From the UK 🇬🇧
That’s awesome Ken! Thank you for the kind words, I’m sure you could teach me a thing or 2 😂, but I’m enjoying every minute of this journey and I can only get better!
What a job ! Red is extremely beautifull too, congratulations !
Thank you 🙂
Watching sand blasting provides me immense satisfaction…..
You just appeared in my feed. great job(says me!! a senior lady who has never done anything like this). I just love the handle. Now I have to go & watch the rest of your videos.
Thanks so much Frances!
LOVE the handle. You have the exact same set up as I do, sand blaster box, powder coater equipment. I was amazed that you spray the powder in a box with a filter exactly as I do for my channel. lol, Great job!
Beautiful restoration! I was worried about the wrench handle at first, but it really came out wonderful. You've got a like and a subscription from me out of this restore!
Thank you!
Jaaaaaaaa....Genial tú Restauración...Muy Bien...!!...Saludosss my Friend...!!!!
man........you´re a MASTER.
Love the out come love the quickey handle just Stunning and a very talented person
Thank you 🙂
Very nice! This inspires me to resurrect all the rusty toolboxes I inherited.
Looks so much better than new. Like the new handle.
Thank you! 👍
Killer job.
Thanks
One of the best tool box restoration videos I’ve seen. 👍🏼
Excellent job on a very good presentation. I really like the innovative idea of using a twisted up wrench for a handle. Outstanding!
Thank you 😄
Классный ящичек получился, яркий вместительный!!! Отличная идея с ручкой!!! Браво!!!👍👍👍👏👏👏😀😀😀🔥💥✨
Nice and calm.No stressful music! Nice filming!Looking forward to see more of your clips!
Thanks! 🙂
Awesome handle you made!!!! Alot of work on this project!!!👍🏻
Thanks! A lot of learning too! 😬
Amazing how your work turns out!
Thank you Gary 🙂
Great job man you turn an old rusted toolbox that most people would throw away and brought it back to life awesome job
My Pawpaw have me a tool box just like that! Still got it! Man does this restoration being back memories. TY for the video!
💙
Epic =D
Good job
My dad had a tool box just like that when I was a kid... amazing restoration! ( new sub)
Thanks and welcome to the channel!
Excellent job very impressed loved the idea for handle.
Great job, very nice work on this toolbox.
I really liked your techniques, but really prefer regular painting rather than powder, in this case I'd use filler, sanded, than primer, wet sanded and final coating. This would give you a very, very nice surface.
Powder coat is very nice when you don't have souch pitch on your surface, so the final quality is assured only with one coating.
Yes I agree, I really wanted to try out powder coating! Live and learn 😜, thanks again!
@@DrRestoration 😂 in our case live and watch.. I love this kind of content, so will keep watching your great works.. 👊
Besides, not everyone has powder coating equipment, and since I don’t do this type of thing on any sort of a regular basis I’d be hard pressed to justify buying it.
Congratulations being monitised..great job 👏 👍
Great video. Great ASMR. Beautiful tool box result!
Thanks GT! 🙂👍
When you're putting the pin in the hinge, a nice tip is to leave it in the drill like when you sanded it. Spin it and push it into the hinge. Painless and takes 20 seconds
Makes we want to clean up my metal toolbox I made in 7th grade metal shop. :-]
Do it!
Great job! Like that handle, too. I have an oldtoolbox like it. Wish I had all the fancy shmancy tools to do the same.
This channel is an absolute gem! Keep making great content!
Thanks Jason!
Best metal toolbox restoration yet!
Thank you!
Love it really good love the spanner idea fantastic job !!!
Love the restoration job you did on this great old toolbox. I am looking for one just like it to put my leather-working tools into. I've seen a few online but they were too dented to restore. I'm going to have to get a sandblasting booth to remove the rust on the tools I restore as a hobby,. Right now I use Evapo-Rust which works great but I need a larger tank or get an SB booth. Though Evapo-Rust is biodegradable and not harmful to humans, I would rather a sandblaster.
I realize this is an older video. However, I just hope you don't need either of those wrenches for doing another project. Very nice refurbishing by the way... Thumbs Up!
I literally look for channels that powder coat instead of paint! It, insures that it’s not just for looks, it’s for use
But all these old tool boxes were originally painted.
What's the difference? More resistance to dents? 🤔
@@canceresbunny it's just better coating, more resistant for wear and rust. That's why it's applied as standard in the industry. But I have to admit, I found the old look much nicer, before the restoration I mean. That patina was just gorgeous.
Mind blowing
Not crazy about the handle. Almost looks bigger than the box. Lol. All in all, satisfying video. Thanks.
It's cute custom. I like the idea of a thick leather handle.
Thanks!
Handle was a nice touch, thanks for sharing. Be safe and be lucky.
Thanks you too!
this is not a restoration, but just a second life of an old object!
Some would say a modification I suppose! 🙂
Very cool 👍🏁
Thanks! 🙂
I found a tool box very similar to this one I plan to restore it like this one. I just need to find someone to sand blast it and then powder coat it, I think I'm gonna go old school and sand it , then paint it. Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed it.
i
Hi Donald glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Got a love how it’s not even done and he’s dragging it around on the workbench scratch the crap out of the bottom.
Well it is a toolbox and thats gonna happen if you use it.
I wish I had time to try this. I have in the past. Preparing for the day when I retire. My idea would be to refurbish something I want to build or even better. Use the original item as a template and build my idea of it. Then sell the refurbished original to someone who would appreciate it.
Very nice job, love the handle, i have a similar, but smaller toolbox to do up, no tray, will have to make one, thankyou.
Thank you Tony! 🙂
THE PERSON WHO MADE THAT TOOLBOX WOULD FEEL PROUD OF THE RESTORATION YOU DID.
Awesome video! Keep them coming!
I love the new handle!👍🏼
in 1980 I took a course in sheet metal work. I made a toolbox which I still have and use to this day.
Awesome work, very creative on the handle!
Thanks No 4!!
Nice job,and very smart idea for the handle,well done.
I appreciate it!
The handle idea was pretty cool. Creative.
Thanks Mitch!
Great job buddy, and beautiful result
Love the handle, thank you.
Thank you!
AWESOME WORK!!
Thanks!
¡Estupendo trabajo!
I loved the smiley and other inserts of humour. A well made video.
I have a very old Sidchrome tool box i want to restore. so this video helped out a fair bit, thank you
Looks like a very handy little mechanics box, I've never seen one with the 2 seperate removable socket trays.
Usually those are just built into the main tray.
Nice old Craftsman Block body bench grinder ( too bad you destroyed that first wrench though), mine in much worse for wear but it was made in 1958 and still runs today.
I probably need to replace the brushes in the motor and bearings though.
Impresionante un Buen trabajo. Saludos desde Barcelona Catalonia
Gracias!
Excelente trabajo mí querido amigo
That handle turned out fantastic!
Thanks Mitch!
Tool handle for the restored toolbox it's nice and amazing
Przepięknie jest to odrestałrowane pozdrawiam twórcę tego filmiku serdecznie 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
nice to see your development
Cool restoration. Awesome handle.
Thank you, means a lot! 🙂
Really liked the handle
Almost like a steam punk toolbox
Thanks!
Wow! Beautiful work.
Thanks Sky! 🙂
Fair job. With practice, your work will improve.
Prep for painting is crucial. The finish coat is determined by the primer coats, with rub downs in between.
Consider using an epoxy filler with metal content to help with the powder coating or use a rattle can with build up.
Thank you I am always learning 🙂 love the suggestions !
Beautiful job!
Thanks Heather 💙
Great job like that you painted the inside not often showed
I wanted to contrast the inside with black, I love how it came out. 🙂
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls God Bless Ya
I appreciate it Steven! 🙂
That is awso e love the handle well done
Thanks man!
great idea for a handle.
Nicely done!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great work dude. It looks real good after renovation. 😁😁
It is better to drill before painting - rust protection...
It's powdercoat. He'd have to drill them afterward anyhow.
Oh God! Those three words: 1. really? 2. C'mon! 3. finally. Sooo Funny!!
Glad you enjoyed it Jen! 😬
I wonder how it would've turned out if you had welded the appropriately-sized bolts into the wrench (from the bottom to hide the welds), drill appropriately sized holes in the top, shortened the bolt threads, and then use a flat and split washer underneath followed up with a polished nut.
You could try powder coating primer, there is one that fills holes and such for a smoother finish
Love the handle!
Woow I see a lot of new tools and creative editing great job 👏👏👏
Yes I love new toys.... uh I mean tools! 😬
Nice job, but surely isn't creative at all. Same editing style as thirty other restoration channels.
Beautiful job! 🧰🧰 🧰
Thank you!
great idea for the handle; very original. love your work. new sub here 😍
very nice job, keep them coming!
Thanks!
im pretty sure that this better than its original look...good video restoration.
Thank you DiY!
