Renovation of an antique German pencil sharpener

This time I'm going to #renew a #German #pencil #sharpener from the beginning of the 20th century. I've been looking for this piece at our #auctions for a long time. Basically, I didn't want to renew it because it still has its charm in this condition, but over time I decided otherwise. I spent a lot of time finding a point where they deal with graphics transferred on a transport foil. Unfortunately, none of the factories wanted to take the order because the inscriptions were too small and the technology in which similar orders are made did not give satisfactory results. I had to use the decal technique, which, as it turned out, also looks satisfactory. Another challenge was finding the right font, which would seem like a fairly simple task these days. I also made a new wooden base because the old one warped a bit. The varnish that was used for painting with the gun is RAL 9005 covered with a colorless one. I wanted to buy a new blade, but the prices of original elements are staggering and not available. Working on refusing this device is pure pleasure due to its small size and precision of workmanship. Thank you and see you next video.

You did a fantastic job on the restoration — especially on the decals! Hard to believe all that engineering went into something to sharpen pencils!

First thing is I'm going to complain. I hated that you remover the japanning to replace it with paint that still have the orange peel look because it wasn't sanded down and there wasn't anything wrong with the plank of wood that only needed to be planned or sanded down to make it level and replaced with one that's has the pith in it that already had a crack and will do nothing but get bigger with time. And that's why you should never use wood with the pith!! With your lettering would have looked better if you would have trimmed it closer to the letters Other than that, , , HAHAHAHAHA It looks great and you did a wonderful job restoring it as well!!!
I still enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

Marvelous job restoring the German pencil sharpener. It looks much better and it works like a charm too. Excellent work as usual.

I'm from Brazil and I have a Jupiter 2. I'm keeping the original pattern and the marks of time.

Hi,

You made such a nice and good work on the Jupiter pencil pointer.

I am working or repairing and refurbishment of 2 units of Jupiter 2.
May it be possible that you share your decal designs please so I can use them?

Thanks a million and regards!

Does this machine not use any lubrication? Very nice work...

[michaelcase]

You need an oiler and wiper to run that thing eficiently! LOL
That's German engineering for you!

What does the text written on it translate to in English?

[PatriciaGatto]

I feel ashamed of others when such an interesting object falls into the hands of those who think they know how to make it...
It removes the original wood to put in a cracked one, paints it horrible, doesn't sand the metal... Regrettable!

Nice, but how many pencils do you have to sharpen before cost recovery? Granted a lot of romance has gone by the wayside in this world, but the guy who came up with the mechanical pencil deserves praise from heavy users. And, of course, the guy who came up with these indispensable things we call "erasers" 👨‍🎓.

Would have loved to have seen laser engraving rather than stencils otherwise a nice, although run of the mill, restoration.

Didn't want to destroy the charm, but you did. Another antique destroyed in the name of "renovation". Thumbs down for this.
