🔥✨️ Light Refurbishment ✨️🔥

We offer many different types of services, like this light refurbishment. The customer has has this set of 10x80 TZK Binoculars for over 10 years. You can see from the before pictures that the metal had lost it's shine and the customer couldn't get the looking like new again.

Our light refurbishment services brings your binoculars back to life. As you can see its not a light rub over, they get striped down and polished. The screws get re-polished, wood work gets taken care of. The optics get a service and check over.

We know the customer is going to love getting them back!

If you already have a set of binoculars in your collection and they are looking sorry for themselves, aged and lost their shine get in contact and we can bring them back to life for you!

One thing I love about the job is the relationship and trust we have built with customers and clients over the years.

From when it comes to special projects, they give us an idea of the end result, and let us do our thing.

This isn't what this post is about, a very special customer of ours who we have been working with for years flew over from the states and took the time to come and visit.

We didn't talk work, visit the workshop or anything like that! We went out to a nice steakhouse for food, got a bottle of wine and talked life stories with our partners for hours.

Its was an amazing night, and now I have to start saving for a 3 week excursion to the US next year with the family 🤣. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧 🇺🇸

Another set of darts converted from standard points to swiss quick point or harrows points for a local chap who loves to throw the arrows. Rude not to give them a good clean before returning.

Hope he is happy with them 👌🎯

If you know anything about old diving gear, not the reproduction display items, the original stuff, you know just how much it weights so stripping this and polishing it in the heat is a killer 🥵 🔥.

But I think the customer will be very happy with the outcome.

This is a genuine old school Russian diving helmet.

I like it, but not in any rush to polish another one soon 🤣

A marine ships bridge clock ⏰️. The customer has had this clock for a long time and had originally kept it in its orignal condition, but with a recent decor change in the office they decided they wanted it to be striped and polished. I think it looks amazing. ✨️

Really do enjoy the little jobs in-between the big ones so if you have anything brass or copper that is looking old and you want a quote to have it polished them drop us a DM.

The boys have to learn from a young age, just like I did that nothing is given to you. You have to work for it so.... I brought them to work today as we had a delivery that needed sorting though from some customers.

We had 13 sets of 10x80 German flakglas binoculars arrive all with original head rests and front shades from all types of war time makers including DKL, CXN and BEH. We have also had some 12x60 binoculars arrive and out favorite random item of the day is a Naval SEA MINE 🌊 😀.

Another customer of ours has a old Russian diviers helmet too that the boys wanted to put on and see what it was like... they didnt let me throw a bucket of water over them tho.

What a haul, we are proud to be trusted to restore bincolaurs for customers, dealers, museums and private collectors all over the world.

We truly are your one stop shop for restoration projects and binoculars.

Remember, we dont only restore, we can buy and sell all types of binoculars from small 10x80s to large big eyed binoculars.

Drop us a DM ✉️ if you are intrested in any of the above as some are for sale and some are staying original and just in for our optic and refurbished services.

My first job back, jumping right back into two sets of 12x60s flakglas binoculars. They need to have the full works, be stripped, polished, optics sorting, cradle making and putting them on two beautiful wooden tripods! 💥

Its nice to see that the cream/desert coloured set is completely original after 80 odd years. Everything is still stamped 498 its code from when being assembled. 🔨

We dont usually find 12x60s or 10x80s where all the parts are the orignal matching numbers. 💥

Let's get it 💪

While I have been out of the workshop for two weeks settling in the newest memeber of the Tuck family, Dad has still been very busy at work.

Dad has completed this lovely set of Nikkon 15x80 Japanese binoculars. Originally produced in the 1930s and 1940s, they were heavily used by the Imperial Japanese Navy on battleships and watchtowers. Thease are highly collectable and are also known as 'Big Eye Binoculars'. The customer has wanted them to go onto a polished metal tripod.

I am now back to work as of today and catching up on any ongoing work and projects that have been delayed...

If you have work with us a require an update, please drop us a DM or WhatsApp and ill get right back ontop of your projects.

Thank you for understanding.

We are back today in the workshop after our newest addition to the team arrived! This newest member didnt have the smoothest arrival spending a week in hopstial after going though A&E but we are now home as a family.

Work will allways take a back seat with us as nothing is more important than family and health. He is well and at home I can get back to work.

Thank you to all who understand this and accepted the delays in your work.

We have some mega hauls of work coming out the workshop in the next month or two so keep your eyes peeled.

But for now let's just enjoy this beautiful boy Alfie. See you in the workshop soon lad 🤣
