I Restored this Broken and Cracked Tank for 'Mister Patina'

Published 2021-02-17
From the first pictures of the tank I haven't realized that this is made out of three parts. I quickly saw that when it arrived in my shop. That made it a lot easier to repair the cracks. I took all parts apart. Repaired the cracks from the inside, covered all the inside to pervent future cracks and soldered the three parts back together. To stabilize the brittle tank I used aluminium rings. Then I turned a new part with an inside thread for the fuel cap and soldered that in place. After that I made the fuel cap and the bleed screw, to seal them I used one o-ring each which worked absolutely perfect. I gave the whole thing a nice brushed finish and the job was done.
I hope you like my work and the video.

This is truly awesome! I knew there was no better person for this job! Thank you so much! 🙂
-
I just think it's adorable how all these restoration channels interact with one another
-
Your "This should be good enough" is everyone else's perfect. Well done, MM. Beautiful restoration.
-
Love how you say "this should be good enough" when it is absolutely perfect!
-
i don’t need it but i want one😅, awesome work 👌
-
Me: a simpleton with none of the skills presented in this video "Ahh yes, a bleed screw is necessary."
-
The restoration is always awesome, but the video editing, and structure, without unecessary information, really makes watching this channel a special experience. It is, in a sense, quite therapeutical.
-
I could see you doing this before a live audience at Carnegie Hall and receiving standing ovations after each of your master works. Bravo!
-
Great , great and great again 😍😍😍
-
It's honestly just amazing watching you work, never any shortcuts and always an amazingly perfect end result. Only person I know that does the restore thing well enough for me to consider it legit art. Not just the product, but the process, watching you work is truly something special.
-
What sets you apart from many, is your problem solving knowledge. Your willingness to create jigs and tools for whatever problems you face. Outstanding.
-
7:22 "This should be good enough." If more people had an attitude like that, the world would be a better place.
-
The thing that i like most about some, not all the restoration pages on youtube is, that beside the way u treat the parts and old tools, u help each other. It always gets me calmed down when i look at ur way of restoring. Thx for letting us be a part of ur work.
-
My English is also not perfect. What I can verify you are the only one on YT working in such a incredible way of perfectism. Compliment and Thanks a lot
-
"My dearest Mymechanics"lol. Who says tool work isn't civilized. You guys are wonderful! I needed a lift this morning.
-
In my opinion, you and Mr. P are the best in this field! Keep it up!
-
I really like how you help each other out. It makes it even more interesting to watch.
-
Keep coming across these gems of yours. The collaboration between you and Mr.Patina. The sensei and pupil. 🖖

Mr. P: "Here is a couple of cracked brass cups, soldered together with a cracked center pipe. Can you make it better?" MyMechanics: "--I fixed your cracked and nasty looking hunk of brass. Here is a brand new, nuclear submarine. Just had to shine it up a bit to reveal what it really was."

I’ve never looked at a leak screw and said out loud to myself “oh, that’s sexy.” before but here we are.
