Restoration Antique iron 1900's. Desert testing and Incredible Handle.
This iron is over 100 years old!
That's what the seller told me. According to him, this coal iron belonged to his grandmother, who said that she bought it brand new in the very early 1900s.
Also, according to the seller, it stood on the shelf for several decades as part of the interior (which is why it was completely painted with white paint).
I also decided that I would not use this iron for its intended purpose, and after the restoration I did something interesting with it (please write if you liked my idea, and what would you do with it if you were me?).
Recovery process:
It was quite difficult to disassemble this iron into parts. All the pins were rusted in their seats and each pin had to be drilled out.
Then there was the sandblasting process. This white paint adhered pretty well to the metal and the cleaning process was very slow.
I painted the body and lid of the iron with heat-resistant black paint. (at this stage, the idea occurred to me to use the iron for other purposes, so I covered the handle and the lid of the blower with acrylic enamel, having previously primed the surface)
I made a wooden handle from a block of stabilized wood (This block has been sitting idle for several months). Honestly, this block of wood cost more than all this iron together and the material used for it))))
I also made all new pins on a lathe.
In my opinion, the result is excellent. Now this iron, along with its "new resident" will stand in my workshop and please the eye)
Best regards Max
Take care of yourself!
