Welcome to another restoration! Today: an antique ratchet. I did a lot of research but unfortunately couldn’t find out where this ratchet has it’s origin and which company built it. But from the type of construction I can tell that it must be very, very old, probably 100 years. If you have any idea where this ratchet comes from or how old it exactly is please write it in the comments!
You will see a lot of lathe turning, cold bluing, filing, grinding and wire brushing in this video.
If you are willing to support me leave a comment, subscribe and share my work, I really appreciate and it helps me a lot!
I hope you will have some fun watching the video! If you have any further questions on tools, the process or the chemistry behind removing rust with electrolysis, acetic acid, cold bluing or flame coloring please write a comment, I will be happy to answer your questions!

AMEN
thats incredible, if everyone did this instead of throwing things away the world would be a better place
I absolutely agree! So many things are thrown away unnecessarily, very sad. Anyways, thank you for your comment mate! 🙏🏼
I think i would be fired if i pulled this out at my job as a mechanic.
@@Jmoney709 good then that you don’t have it to pull out at work 😄
@@DrHutOfHandcraft haha yes i hate it there anyways
@@Jmoney709 Quit then 😂
Old is gold .Beautiful restoration.
Thank you!!
I would like to take a second to appreciate the fact that you gave this ratchet a very classy/functional matte brushed finish...instead of a ridiculous mirror polish (like 90% of the other tool restoration videos on CZcams). Outstanding job.
Thank you very much mate 🙏🏼 I like brushed and matte more than mirror polish too..
I love this ratchet and what you made of it! Pretty sweet! 🥳
Thank you my friend 🙏🏼
No patina left!!!
Nice work! You made an old guy happy. I worked on underground water mains and we used open ratchets like this. Very heavy duty and easy to clean the dirt and mud off of. Hose it off, blow it down with compressed air and spray it with WD40. I believe these are still made for the underground utility trades. Thanks
Thank you for your comment Bobby, I am glad you liked the video! 🙏🏼
Anyone else get close to the end and think, "man I'd really love to see this in action"? AND THEN AT 16:29, HE DELIVERS!! 100% satisfaction, lol. Bravo on a job well done!
Glad you liked it, thank you Jeremy! 😄
With so many fake restoration channels I'm always happy to come across a genuine one. Good job.
Thank you!
I do restoration work as a hobby and it’s always great to watch your videos, not only to enjoy your working, but also to improve my own skills.
I’m also a chemistry teacher and, unless it’s already been commented, the metal ion flame test you did shows either a strontium or lithium salt present to produce the red flame (calcium would produce an orange-red flame). It’s a great visual demonstration to do to show metal ion colours by adding a splash of alcohol to a solution of the metal salt then spraying into a clean flame. Keep it up!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!
It was a strontium salt 😄 Glad you liked it!
That extra length you went to by torching and prying apart the ends to take out the ratcheting cylinder was over the top, dude. Good work.
Thank you 🙏🏼
Only Stallone is Over The Top
@@robapple78 Stallone? That dude resides in a senior center. His exercise now is having Walker races with old fart Swartsnager. 😯🤣🤣
Nice Video 👌
Thank you!
Wonderful! I have a few specific items to praise. First, thank you for using electrolysis for rust removal. It is the least expensive and least invasive rust-removal technique there is, leaving the original metal as intact as possible. Second, it was wonderful to see a restoration in which the tool wasn't tortured with the lazy man's approach of using a grinder or sandblasting, both of which harm the tool's original surface, requiring more time and resulting in unnecessary removal of good metal. The way you did the restoration preserved absolutely as much of the original metal as possible. Finally, a comment on the tool itself: What a great design, doing without a forward-reverse switch and all its attendant potential problems. The one-way rotation of the ratchet is a much simpler and trouble-free design. Overall, great job on a nice tool!
Thank you for your comment and your kind words!
Yes, the design of the ratchet is very nice, I like it a lot too!
Okay. The ratchet part dropping and the symbol crash’s got me. 😂😂
😄
Щедрівка наприкінці просто супер. Дякую.
Looks better than if we’re brand new. Nice job.
Thank you Lucie, I appreciate your comment!
i like the sound of ratchets... and the older ratchet it has a sound of wisdom to my ears... its reminds me that there is always a tool to do the job inside ur garage.
Thank you for your comment!
Beautiful restoration! The older tools were so much more robust than the newer ones.
Thank you!
Yes they were
Amazing work. I love the combination of bluing and silver finishes as well as preserving some of the patina.
Thank you very much for your kind words ✌🏻
I hope the silver finish doesn't rust; I have trouble like that with metal left 'in the white'.
the sound of the ratchet made it all worthwhile! excellent renovation!
Thank you!! 🙏🏼
VERY - VERY - VERY - NICE = I dought that the wrench ever looked so good
Thank you so much!
That looks really good. The color of the blueing against the silvery steel is pretty cool.
Thank you!
What an absolutely miraculous transformation. Well done, sir!
Thank you very much Martin!
I am really impressed!
I know you're good at it, I didn't expect that! ! ❤️
Thanks mate ❤️
"THE RE-ANIMATOR'. beautiful restoration ❤
Thank you! 🙏🏼
As good as new. Glad to see that you got the wobble out of you steel brush device. Nice job.
Thank you!
Yeah it was the steal brush that was wobbling around, I replaced it..
Pretty cool hobby to get into. I've always loved old tools even though they don't have practical uses in todays industry. Atleast they were meant to be serviced. Maybe one day they will make a return. Great job.
Yep I can confirm, it’s a great hobby!
Thank you very much! 🙏🏼
Beautiful restoration of a nice old retched
Thank you very much mate!
I about retched too.
Wonderful shot of the safety shoes at around 5:30
Never wearing safety shoes to be honest 😄
I like the fact that you blew Ed all the working moving parts that was a very nice design decision, and it looks great
Thank you!
Wow...juggling between study, work and making content. Gotta say you have a bright future friend. Wish you all the best. Thank you for sharing this restoration project. Beautifull old iron I must say
Thank you so much for your kind words, it’s much appreciated 🙏🏼
that finish was a nice touch and looked good together. a great improvement on the ratchet.
Thank you very much!
You turn scrap into a tool that looks brand new. Awesome 👍🏽
Thank you!
lovin the sense of humour in your videos
Happy that you like it! 🙏🏼 thank you!
amazing how it turned out so beautiful classic tool. Great job Dr. Hut!
Thank you mate 🙏🏼
Excellent restoration, what a beautiful ratchet wrench it is now. Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it!
Bro with the closing I was so scared you weren’t going to show it in action!😅
I always show them in action 🙂
Man did the right thing.
😄
Very impressive job, sir. Funny how such a small part can require so much work. Looking forward to your next project. Be safe.
Thank you mate, I really appreciate your support!
Beautiful restoration Sir.
Thank you! 🙏🏼
You just brought a tool out of retirement for another 100 years of service.
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Love to see how different tool designs evolved from this and so cool to see you bring this guy back to life
Indeed it is!
Thank you for your comment
Im always amazed how much effort you guys on CZcams put into this worn out tools to make them look great again.
These tools in general don't look like they could never be used again.
But with a little hard work they are now ready to do their duty one more lifetime.
Thank you for sharing this with us ❤️
Thank you very much for your kind words 🙏🏼
Awesoome video what did you use to blackin or patina the parts?
@@thomasmartin4591 It is called bluing, in this case cold bluing. There are many different methods of bluing
Ty....I apreciate you're reply..awesome videos
@@thomasmartin4591 🙏🏼
Nice! I think a brass wear sleeve would have tightened up the slop. And would have looked awesome!
Indeed yes, that would’ve been a good idea!
Mmmm that would have added a nice little touch to it.
Knowing how to operate the restoration tools and chemicals . Thanks for sharing your knowledge. The tool turned out fantastic.
Thank you very much!
What an elegant piece of machinery.
That’s so true!
Nice job on the restoration, Doc! I don't think it looked that good when it was new. And thank you for not over restoring it so you can't actually use it because "it's just too nice." 😁👍
Thanks a lot! 🙏🏼
Cool video man, they don’t make things like they used to !! Some of the Rubbish I’ve bought in the past doesn’t last two minutes, that ratchet will last you a lifetime ! Great video and thanks for sharing 👍👍😀
Yes this ratchet is so massive, it will definitely last a lifetime! You could probably do pull-ups with it 😂 thanks for your comment! 🙏🏼
Yo is that a 7 tooth ratchet!!!! That thing must be way smoother than my 5 tooth!
😂
Güzel olmuş.
Tebrikler
🙏🏼
Awesome video. Love the finished product! 👍🏻😊
Thanks a lot!
That was so damn good… honestly didn’t think it’d turn out as nice as it did… you’re seriously under subbed ( new sub)
Thank you very much for your support and your kind words, I really appreciate it!
Wow the swing on that thing is a country mile
😂😂
Wow, incredible! I love the character and heavy build of the old tools. I collect them when I find them. You are an amazing craftsman!🙂👍
Thank you so much! 🙏🏼
Fantastic job and video great Finish it looks amazing thanks for sharing your time 🍺🍺👍👍
Thank you very much and thank you for your support! 🙏🏼
Very nice job; man; and the socket looks awesome in that ratchet... together they look really solid. Warm regards from Mexico.
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it!
Much love from Germany
Very enjoyable Doc.
Thank you Dave!
Amazing what you can do with the right tools and incredible skill!! Beautiful!
Thank you so much!
Nice restoration ...I love the outcome of your work.
Thank you !
Beautiful. Restoration
Thank you!
Just subbed. Glad I get my algorithm to link me to these types of channels instead of those useless ignorant influencers. Great job
😄 Thank you for your support, much appreciated!
A very good Job Love it ❤️👍❤️
Thank you mate! And thank you very much for your support!
Very nice job on that one 👍also I really liked all the lathe work. Turned out absolutely amazing.
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it!
Some day all of our tools will be this rusty
Maybe, and hopefully someone will restore them 😄
Ready for another 100 years. That for sure!
I hope so 😄
Very impressive job, sir. Love this ratchet ! I am really impressed! I know you're good at it, I didn't expect that! ! I think a brass wear sleeve would have tightened up the slop. And would have looked awesome!
Yes that would’ve been a good idea! I’ll remember it for the next time! Thanks a lot!
Nice restore
Thank you very much! 🙏🏼
HELL OF A NOISE WHEN THE RATCHET FELL OUT!!! PMSL!!!!
😄😄
Nice work my friend
Thanks mate 🙏🏼
You did a really great job on this project. Plus the video quality definitely set you apart from other channels.
Thank you very much for your kind words 🙏🏼
Você é muito bom, parabéns 👏👏👏🇧🇷
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Love watching you work
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it!
Nice job brother. Like from India
Thanks bro!
Nice job! If it were mine, I think I would’ve nickel plated the main body to keep it from rusting.
Thanks mate!
Putting all that work into the restoration, which was fantastic 👌, I agree all metal surfaces need to be nickel treated and not just oiled.
I say again. Excellent video. Respectfully submitted.
@@loydevan1311 thank you very much! 🙏🏼
You should’ve cut a bit out of a cheap paint scraper to replace that pitted part but great job anyway.
Thank you for your comment! I actually made a new part but then decided to keep the old one to keep it’s character.
Didn't look that good straight from the manufacturer! Well done.
Thank you very much!
Beatiful 👍🏻💯💯
Thank you!
I like the black wheel shine.
I've never seen a ratchet that looked like that, where the center drive pulls out.
Looks like a nice useable ratchet . I don't know how it compares to modern ratchet.
or ones from the 1970's or 1980's. My favorite 1/2 " drive ratchet is a Stanley pro.
easy to change directions , from the way they built the thing you push
Thank you very much for your comment!
Awesome video as s as always and happy to have Mr. Patina in the mix! Question: In this video, you used two different processes for rust removal (Electrolysis and acid): How do you decide when to use which? 🤔
Thank you Nico!
Good question. In this case it’s not very exciting, it was just because I didn’t have enough acetic acid to fill the box with it. But there are some things to consider when deciding which method you use. When I make a second channel one day I will make a whole video on that!
@@DrHutOfHandcraft : Thank you very much! Another one which I would also want know is when you select cold vs hot bluing 😉
@@nicovandyk3856 I personally prefer hot bluing rather than cold bluing because it’s cheaper, eco friendly and a lot faster.
But cold bluing is good for bigger parts , on which you can’t (or at least I can’t because I don’t have a powerful burner) achieve an equal temperature everywhere on that part. I also use it on heat treated and hardened parts and thin sheet metal, since hot bluing could damage the heat treatment and bring sheet metal out of it’s form.
@@DrHutOfHandcraft thank you soo much for your response: That makes soo much sense (Almost embarrassed that I could not figure that one out for myself). Keep well!!!
@@nicovandyk3856 You are very welcome and thank you for your support! No reason to be embarrassed, I also had to learn this stuff somehow, since I am not a mechanic (this stuff is only a hobby for me and not my job) and come from a completely other work field and I still have a lot to learn! 😄
My favorite therapy.

Nice job, as usual 👍
Strontium chloride for the red flame? (Ok, I googled it 😋)
Thank you very much!
Close, it was Strontiumcarbonate, but you are right, Strontium is the component that makes the flames red. Strontium chloride would make it red too 😄🙏🏼
Lithium salts will too but it will be reddish pink
Excellent restoration. Love this stuff!!
Thank you!
That is beautiful work. I admire your dedication, sir. Well done!
Much appreciated, thank you!
Fabulous! You won a suscriber!
Thank you so much for your support!
Gostei muito 👏👏👏
🇧🇷
Obrigado 🙏🏼
NOICE!
😄🙏🏼
Beautiful
Thank you’
The SICK doctor is in....GREAT TREATMENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
😄🙏🏼
I plan on subbing directly after making this comment but this is awesome! I’m not sure if I’m the only one but if you were to learn clocksmithing and do some restoration that would be fantastic! My grandfather was a clock smith for the better part of 50 years and now my dad has taken it over. One day I will too. Look forward to watching more videos!
Thank you for your support! I actually did some minor stuff on clocks before, but just for my own ones or for friends/family. Maybe one day I will try a whole restoration on one 🙂
I did look it up after but my guess was lithium
Lithium is correct, but that’s not what I used. That is the other correct answer I mentioned 😄
Cave man style doesn’t ever say a single word
What?
Beautiful……!
Thank you! 🙏🏼
I like how you did'it , well done. Final result is amazing ,you're good ,really good but why so few posts, something is missing to increase the number of views and subscribers. 👍👍👌👌❤❤❤🙏🙏
Hey mate, thank you for your comment, I really appreciate it! Well yes I am trying to increase the number of videos, but I am doing this while going to the university and work, so it is pretty hard to upload more videos. And of course I want to present good content, not some stuff I just worked a couple of hours on.
@@DrHutOfHandcraft You're right, now I understand you ,what can I say...do the right things !!!
@@johnconnor555 I will try my best to produce more content! Thank you for your support!
@@DrHutOfHandcraft If you continue to produce more content with interesting items I guarantee that your channel will spread like wildfire. You, are good. Very good. Take it from a restorer and restoration channel critic. Best!
@@terryegan3831 Thank you very much for your kind words mate, it really means a lot to me!
I will try my best, but like I said, there is work, university and much more 😅
A really nice video of a really nice restoration! Just two little things: 1. the ratchet has a lot of play, maybe it would have been a good idea to turn the head (or what it´s called) a little smaller and make bushings for it. 2. the christmas music at the end (carol of the bells) is a little bit strange for a video postet on march 12th. ;o)
Anyways, you´ve got one new subscriber!
Hey mate, thank you for your comment and support, I really appreciate it!
You’re right, the ratchet has some play, but it had the play before and I didn’t think of the solution you suggested.. I will definitely consider that in the future!
You are not the first one to mention the christmas music 😅 I really didn’t know that it is a christmas song, because it’s not that popular in germany, I just thought it’s nice 😄 Thanks again! 🙏🏼
Strontium!!!!
also, great restoration!
Exactly!
Thank you!
Постоянно тебя смотрю....продолжай дальше

When he said dont try this at home, I followed the rules. Tried it when i was 12 in a camping trip with a lighter and some off, my cousin got a lit haircut
Oh wow 😅😅
Like
🙏🏼
Thanks!
Thank you 😄
This one was an easy one. Great work
Thanks 🙏🏼
