Antique Dented Oiler - Perfect Restoration

In this video i’m restoring an antique dented oiler. My friend found this oiler in the steel waste at the recycling station. I really liked the unique design of it and I bought it from him for $5. It almost had no rust, but it was very dirty and had a lot of dents. The tricky part of this restoration was definitely the removing of all the dents in the can. I want to say thank you to my friend who helped me with this and to his boss, who allowed him to use the tools from his work place. I’m very happy how it turned out and I really like the new look of the oiler. I’ll keep this oiler in my shop and I’m going to use it from now on. I hope you like my work and the video.
