Restoration of an rusty Cast Iron Boot Jack. This is an ASMR restoration involving a lot of sandblasting, powder coating and hand painting jobs.
I will continue the satisfying ASMR feeling in this restoration video also. So, there will be no music and no talk.
I bought this cast iron boot jack on an antique market for 10$. I think it’s cool and I want to restore and use it here in our home in Sweden. We really need a jack when taking off the boots. We have winter with snow 5 months a year. I don’t know how old this boot jack is. But in the antique store they g ....... guessed that it’s around 100 years old.
The cast iron on this boot jack is pretty rusty, so it was very satisfying doing the sandblasting part. When I start sandblasting the Boot Jack’s head, I saw bad finish “leftovers” from the casting process of the iron. I decided to stop with the sandblasting and adjust the edges and especially the head before continuing sanding.
To remove all the craters, I used 5 different files, my mini grinder with a diamond head and sandpaper grid 1000/1500 with water to prepare polishing. I polished the horn (The jack part) to achieve the beautiful old and shiny look without being mirror blank all over. You can see it has age and I like that.
I have loaded the sandblaster with medium hard sand to achieve perfect results when sandblasting on cast iron. I used the sandblaster two times for this restoration project. I use 120 psi pressure on my air compressor when sandblasting in this video.
I did special powder coating on the Boot Jack and this time I used a signal Blue RAL 5003 glossy color to the back at the Jack. I hand painted the bottom of the Jack with Metal Paint Black Glossy. I added special gold transparent color effect on the neck, I think that this is the perfect transition from the Blue to the shiny polished horn.
