I have been in the Plumbing and Heating Trade for over 20 years using blow lamps on a daily basis, so when i found this little Primus Blow Lamp in my local Reclamation yard I was intrigued to not only have the chance to return it to its former glory but also to see it work. I think its approx 50 years old and still has some great details on the handle and the engraved bottle. I love restoring old tools and thought this would be a good vintage restoration for my channel. I particulary enjoyed cleaning the Brass as it was so satisfying to see that yellow glow shining through the tarnish. When i got to the difffuser part i had a little surprise as i thought it was just a piece of burnt metal but in stead it was Brass, Which polished up very nicely until i set the flamethrower on it. I was a little nervous at that point as i have never lit one of these before, and not entirely sure if i did it correct. If you have any advice on any of my techniques today please leave a comment.
