Stylish Camping Stove Restoration - G. Barthel 1930s Norma 51

Video Description

In this video, I restore an old rusty camping stove made in Germany in the 1930s. More about the restoration process: It was very challenging but rewarding. I learned a lot about camping stoves! The little stove was in disrepair when I got it. The fuel tank was damaged; it had a considerable bent that required a lot of skill and patience to repair because I couldn't open it, mainly because it was in the shape of a sphere. If you want to learn more about this antique German stove, I encourage you to watch this video. When I saw it, even though I was shocked at how bad it looked, full of dents, bends, rust, and burn! The most challenging part was the pipe that had a wick stuck inside. I've tried many methods off-camera to avoid extra work and extensive interventions. Still, unfortunately, nothing worked, so the final decision/chance to get it working again was to make a section and then solder it back together. After removing the rust, the parts were painted with heat-resistant paint, and I polished all the beautiful brass parts. At the end of the video, I made a test so you can see how it works! More about the camping stove: It was manufactured by the famous Norma 51 (Barthel) company in 1936. I hope I have caught everything, but if you have any questions, you can comment, and I'll get back to you! Cheers! Johnny.
