Rusty Arbor Press - Restoration (1080p_50fps_H264-128kbit_AAC)

In this video i&restoring a rusty arbor press. Ever since I started my channel I had an arbor press on my wish list to restore. Not just because it&an interesting good looking item, mainly because I want to have one in my shop. So I got very excited when my friend called me two weeks ago and told me that he has found one on the steel waste. It&a small Fehlmann arbor press, they&very famous in switzerland for making the best ones. I choose turquise blue for the main body and painted the letters black and I really like how to colour turned out. Unfortunately the table was missing, so I had to make a new one. I first planed to mill the slots on a CNC milling machine, but I couldn&get access to one in time so I decided to make it manually. It took some time to find a way to make them, took even more time to make them, but the endresult speaks for itself. It turned out absolutely perfect. I went with bluing on the gear part of the handle and sanded the handle itself. The name plate was from the previous seller of this press, it&a well known seller for machines in Switzerland. As the plate was too damaged to use again, I decided to make my own „my mechanics“ plate out of aluminium. It took me three tries to get it to work and I ended up with a very nice and clean plate at the end. I went with a brushed finish for the name plate, as it fits the other finishes very well. Overall I&very happy how the press turned out. I really like the contrast of the different colours and finishes...
