That must be one of the oldest applications of a vane pump?

2019-02-11 21:12:53 +0000 UTCThank you Marc! This type of restoration is much more in line with what something a museum would do. I am trying to do more conservation on my channel.

2019-02-11 19:59:28 +0000 UTCWhat a cool project, and you particularly did a great job. For most old hand tools, where there are an abundance of examples, a refurbishment as generally ScoutCrafter would do is fine - and for practicality most appropriate. What you do a fine job of here is showing wat a restoration really is. Only remove what is damaged or could cause damage, then use the most authentic materials and approaches possible to bring the original tool back to function while preserving its unique character. How you handled gaskets, brass fittings, and recreating Japanning are all exemplary.
