- Rare Mechanical toy Restoration from mid-1950’s. It is a cute teddy bear on a rusty crank wind up scooter. The engine is dead so I will repair the engine, fix the scooter and restore the teddy bear so he looks nice and clean again.
ABOUT THE MECHANICAL TOY SCOOTER
I bought this old toy from a barn sale here in Sweden a few years ago. He was just standing there old and dusty looking cute. I just knew directly that I had to fix him. The last couple of years it has been standing here in my garage and gathered more rust and dust. Now it is time to restore this cute mechanical toy.
ABOUT THIS TOY RESTORATION
I started by disassembling the wheels and then I carefully detached the cute teddy bear from the little scooter. Then I continued with the scooter frame and the more mechanical parts as the engine/gearbox. It was quite easy only 3 rivets, 6 metal flaps and two pins that was all holding it together.
I sandblasted the bigger metal parts and gave them some good layer of spray paint. The engine room got white color and the scooter frame parts were painted in baby blue.
I cleaned all the small parts (mostly gears from the engine) in my vibrating tumbler and gave them a good polishing job afterwards.
I also restored the cute teddy bear by giving him a thorough wash in my drilled powered mini washing machine and drying him afterwards with my wife’s hairdryer.
The scooter came with only one wheel. So I had to produce e new wheel on my lathe. The original wheel is about 80 years old and made of hard plastic so unfortunately I could not recreate the exact same look/gloss on the wheel with my modern soft lathe acryl rod.
I put it all together again nice and easy and gave the engine/gearbox a drop of oil on all the gears and moving parts. The mechanical part came out very strong. The engine was almost too strong when I tested it. You can se this in the end of the video.
I think that this restoration video turned out very good. The mechanical part came out very strong. And the teddy bear was happy about he’s restored scooter.

The fact that dude would go all out to make, paint and cut a love heart into a miniature chair for the teddy says a lot about his character. You’re a good man. ❤
Siiii😊😊😊
That was so attractive. Seriously. If anyone did this and showed me I would fall in love on the spot
I got tears in my eyes when I saw he made a chair for the teddy bear to sit and wait. That's awesomeness!
Thank you 😉👍
Repairing toys is the most noble pasttime.
That teddy deserved respect and got respect
I can only imagine the smile this would have brought the person who originally owned it as a child. Well done.
thanks for watching, yes if the former owner sees this I hope he/she would like it :)
@@AwesomeRestorations I truly believe that they'd imagine a miracle had occured! Astonishing!
Hasta yo sonreí y mi alma de niña fue feliz. Gracias💕 Saludos desde Valdivia, Chile👋
It brought a smile to my face and i'm almost 60.
I also smiled and gave happiness to the start of my day, thank you sir.
That little teddy bear is so sweet and precious!
Thank you so much :)
Most people would just throw out this toy...... good to see restoration of a beloved heirloom for someone else to love! The truly makes it valuable!
thank you so much 😊
Never knew I’d shed tears of happiness watching a restoration video. This was so beautifully done.
Wow, thank you so much 💖
I love that he kept the original bear instead of replacing or remaking it.
Seeing it go after restoration brought a genuine smile to my face and helped make my day.
thanks Matthew I am very glad to hear that 🐻😊
where would you even begin to remake the bear?
@@GawrGurasBathTubPizzaprobably could have found one online who knows
And made him a little chair, too
He is not like the other "restorers" on TH-cam. He actually restores the piece doing as little as possible in replacement so it is true to the original.
I cried with joy, seeing the teddy returned to his scooter. In my 70's now, this made me feel like a child again 💕 Thank you 🥰
Glad you enjoyed it so much Josephine ❤️❤️❤️ thank you for watching :-)
Hello friends 👋🏽
Sorry for interrupting
This genuinely made me cry in the best way, so happy for that bear that he wasnt forgotten about.
Aww I’m so happy to see how much care you took to safely remove teddy and make him a comfy seat to watch the repairs to his mode of transport
And the bear watching the sandblasting. 😅
The little handmade chair, the tiny washing machine, just brilliant! You take such care and have so much attention to detail even the simplest of objects are treated like heirlooms. Well done, another great restoration!
Thanks so much! 😊
ADORABLE!
I can just picture him riding off into the sunset, a happy bear once more. What an awesome restoration.
Thanks 👍
I can’t wait to play this to the kids.
It’s so brilliant and will keep their attention so focused.
Better than millions of cartoons.
Honestly
Love it
Love it
Love it.
thank you so much for your kind words I really appreciate it 🧡
Thank you for painting it in the original colour in the end 😄🙏🤗
Такое милое видео! медвежонок очень рад стульчику и сны даже видит!!золотые руки и доброе сердце у мастера.стиральная машинка это чудо
Ого, я не одна здесь)))
Доброе время суток всем!☺️Присоединяюсь... Медвежонку повезло...😊
Тонкая и профессиональная работа. Мишка теперь счастлив.
thank you very much I am glad you liked the video 😊
Lil Teddy is so happy after being restored 😍😊
yes he is very happy :)
Seeing you care for the bear really put a smile on my face. Thank you
No problem 👍
Взрослый человек с душой ребёнка, при этом прекрасный мастер. Он сохраняет память о прошлом. Браво.
thank you so much I really appreciate it 😊
лучше и не сказать! согласен с Вами!
Такой мишутка классный.Руки у МАСТЕР золотые.
Это очень мило)💝
I love that you made him a chair to sit in while he waits! It made me smile. ❤
What a lovely presentation with the bear and a hard work for a tiny piece restoration!
thank you so much 😊
I missed a few videos and at first thought the washing machine was one of your restorations. Forever, i will appreciate those watching over the sand blaster😊
This is one of my favorite restorations. You can tell that you really love that bear! What a difference! Beautiful restoration!
Thank you very much!
This is beautiful... the tenderness, love and innocence that that toy transmits and the way you rescued it. moved me to tears! thank you for this! 🥺😭 😍💖
thank you so much I am glad you liked it 😊
I love how you took the time to make the bear a little chair ❤
Also, I can't believe that mini washing machine is real! Really cool!
Thank you! 😊
For some reason, I feel sorry for toys that get forgotten. It's good you're giving the Ted a new life and maybe someone to play with the Ted.
I’m not surprised you made a tiny chair from scratch, just for the bear to wait on while the scooter gets restored!!! 😂
Awesome job!!! ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
thank you so much Samantha 😊🐻 he needed a place to sit he is 80 years old after all
Супер!! Этот мишка такой добрый,настоящий мишка из детства! 😊❤Как только он поехал ,я стала улыбаться!😂
Thanks for watching a lot 😉👍
😂 🤣💫лучшие чем ничего ❤

Never thought sandblasting could be so enjoyable!
Как же это мило!!! И такая кропотлиаая работа.Браво мастеру!!!
thank you I am glad you liked it
Да молодец человек! Такую старую игрушку реанимировал.
My heart just grew three times its normal size! This was such a sweet and sentiment restoration ❤
I love the heart you have in your restoration. Making the little dude a chair with a heart and feeling bad for the barbs. So enjoyable. You remind me of the folks on the repair shop. So enjoyable your respect to the item .
Thanks a lot 😉👍
I love watching this video.
Watching restorations of old toys makes my heart sing. Thank you so much for great job. ♥️
Glad you enjoyed it!.. thanks for watching ❤️
Кроме технических приемов высшего уровня, ещё и доброта и любовь к делу . Так приятно смотреть на это!
Thanks a lot 😉👍
As Craig Ferguson would've said it: "That's crazy funny stuff." It's about the little stuffed toy teddy bear that was sitting on a toy doll chair. Thus, it had to go through getting cleaned off in a moni toy washing machine powerred by a cordless drill. 💺 🐻 🧸 🐻❄ 🐻
Жду с нетерпением ваших новых работ! Мартин, спасибо большое, что дарите людям такие добрые видео. Этот мишка тронул мое сердце...
thank you very much I am really glad you liked it 😊

No es una restauración cualquiera, es una pelicula de amor❤❤❤❤
thank you so much I am glad you think so 🐻❤
Me pregunto porque lo dejaron alli 😭
Я в ужасе!Кажется это невозможно вернуть в рабочее состояние.Мишка милый!У меня есть такой,только он держал в лапах бочонок с мёдом и то поднимал его ,то опускал.Бочонка нет.
Такой милый Мишутка. Спасибо, мастер, что спасли это чудо и самокат. Мой младший сын так же бережно после купания сушит феном своего живого (!) любимого кота. Спасибо Вам за такое трогательного видео. Всех Вам благ и приятной жизни. 👍👏
Thank you for taking good care of the little bear and making him a beautiful chair to sit on. You are a kind soul my friend. ❤
Oh my goodness! Little washing machine! ❤
You are so welcome ❤
Казалось бы для большинства, что этому медведю уже всё, он отжил своё и откатал. Но не в этих золотых руках, спасибо, этому доброму человеку, он подарил игрушки вторую жизнь, а медведю ещё одну возможность прокатиться на самокате. Низкий поклон, человеку с золотыми руками ❤
thank you so much for your kind words :)
Вы просто волшебник!! Привет из России❤
Это очень милый комментарий) ❤

Мартин, спасибо за очередное видео 🤝🏻 Реставрация как всегда изумительная, но такое внимание в медвежонку, которому вы сделали стульчик для наблюдения за процессом, просто тронуло мое сердце 💔
Ждём новых видео 💯🔥

Poor Bear-he did not deserve that neglect. Thank goodness you saved him. Ride on, Bear!! 🥰
I enjoyed this very much. You did a miraculous job. 🌟
So now I’m a new subscriber. 👍🏻
thank you so much for subscribing I am glad you liked it :)
Me too! ❤️🦘
Очень бережное отношение к этому процессу! Внимание к каждой мелочи и доброе, человеческое отношение к вещи, это прекрасно!
Я знал что медвежонок будет контролировать процесс очистки ;-)
Хороший получился стул! Из массива дерева, сейчас это редкость! Такой стул это отдельная история!
thank you very much for your comment. I am really glad that you liked it 😊
Fabulous! I love that you made the chair for the teddy so he could watch the process, and nap and dream! You went the extra mile.
Thanks so much! 😊
@@AwesomeRestorations Thank YOU for the great restoration.
What a lovely guy with a lot of skills, patience and humor
thanks so much :)
I cannot tell you enough how much joy you bring to people like me who appreciate the days when playing with these toys could occupy a good part of one's day as a child. How sad that simple times have been diluted by technology. Thanks for giving the little bear a new life!!!
thank you very much David - this little teddy was a special project which I enjoyed very much 😊🐻
Yes, special treasures from the past!
I hear that. I'm a grandfather now, and the toy stores are just loaded with expensive plastic rubbish. No imagination or character whatsoever. I'm always buying the little fellow used toys from the past. He loves them though! The old wooden Thomas trains are a hit!
@@steelyman08 согласна с Вами, весь мир завален пластиком! В магазине полные полки игрушек, а играть не с чем! В нашем детстве игрушки были намного интереснее! Мне 60 лет, но я помню свои игрушки, хотя их было очень много, родители часто покупали нам с братом новые игрушки!
Очень жалею, что они не сохранились!
@@user-zs1dn1qn6x I translated that! Yes! Glad to see someone else sees the same unimaginative mess out there. Take care (-:
Beautiful restoration I must say, love the time and thought into this especially the gorgeous bear smiling and winking. Thankyou for making us all smile😊.
thank you for watching 😊
Здравствуйте,я прям восхищена результатом, работ,вы великий мастер вы даёте 2жизнь всем предметам,винтажных работ,будьте здоровы, 🎉

AR 😎👍👌🎶🎵
hii ✋
Hell ya
Nice touch with that little bear chair 👍👍👍👍😂🇺🇸
Wow that looks amazing. You do amazing work
I just loved the Woody restore. I just love how you treat these as a part of the family…. Not just an a character.
OMG , YOU BRING THE LITTLE BEAR TO THE LIFE AGAIN , THAT IS A PRECIOUS THING , YOU'RE A HERO
🐻❤
Old toys, PRICELESS ! Children could understand mechanical engineering better through those old toys. No such toys come out today ! 😢😢😢
What good would that do in a digital age when you could learn electrical engineering from your simple computers in your toys. Youd be future proof.
@@TheCynicalNihilist I both agree and disagree with you. You have a big point about our age being different. Nowadays children understand more about robotics, AI, computers, Algorithms etc through toys and games which are more usefull to future or modern carrers. But first of all everything is usefull even indirectly. Anybody in physics and technology should understand the basics of physics, quantum and mechanical engineering. The more primer technology you see and study, the more you built your knowledge deeply. Secondly knowledge about something isnt always only just about usefulness. It is either because of passion or because it helps you keep your mind sharper (the second is still usefull even indirectly). For example, maybe understanding or studying the mechanics of an old clock is not very usefull today but it is far more preferrable and usefull as a hobby instead of watching reality shows. I dont know if you get my point of view.
Loved the teddy bear role!! 😂
Made me smile! Thanks!
thanks, very glad to hear that ❤
I so admire your abilities, TLC and ingenuity. You are a true craftsman!
Such a satisfying experience to see the years of weathering and abuse so carefully and skillfully removed from all of these bygone treasures.
I swear that Teddy Bear was beaming with gratitude and pride, in the final sequence, there.
Thanks for a most rewarding experience. ❤😊
thank you so much Cliff for your kind words I really appreciate it ❤
it's so nice to see how you so skilfully breathe new life into an old toy
😊 thank you
Love how the Teddy bear had a part in its own restoration 🤎🧸
thanks I am glad you liked it 😊
Спасибо за ролик! Очень всё мило, позитивно и красиво!
thank you so much I am very happy you liked it
Такая интересная и уникальная игрушка 😍 маленький мишутка 🧸наконец-то отдохнул немного на стульчике, так мило☺️
thank you I am glad you liked it
You MUST give classes on this and share your skill to others...your knowledge is rare and will be lost without passing on your amazing craft and abilities.
ЧУДО ЧУДНОЕ ...... ВЫСШИЙ ПИЛОТАЖ..... СПАСИБО ЗА РОЛИК ..... ЕЩЕ И С ЮМОРОМ..... СПАСИБО......
Боже, как же это мило) Не просто процесс реставрации, а мини-фильм "Жизнь продолжается")
Очень переживала за состояние мишки, как хорошо, что он оказался цел❤
yes he is safe now 😊🐻
This is my all time favorite toy restoration. Thank you for posting this sweet little bear and his scooter.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Es ist eine Art Hypnose. Ich habe das ganze Video angesehen, ohne meine Augen von den Bewegungen auf dem Bildschirm abzuwenden.❤
Отличное видео, спасибо. Вы с такой любовью относитесь к вещам, это круто!
thank you so much Nick 😊
Iove me
Oh my gosh the bear chair and the mini washing machine priceless! Mr. Bear looks so happy now! 💚
thank you so much for your comment. He is very happy now 😊
Wow....that were generations smiling 😊
When you completed it with the bear, it made me smile. What a great job you did!
Thank you so much!
This is a wonderful video of the loving treatment you gave this lovely old toy. I especially enjoyed how you involved Teddy throughout the whole process...even making a tiny chair. Thank you for making me smile. 😁
glad you liked it :)
Ой, ну какая милота! У вас золотые руки. Очень люблю, когда старым игрушкам дарят новую жизнь.
Thanks a lot

So cute that you involved the little bear overseeing the process😊
Thank you! Cheers!

Супер, у вас золотые руки
thank you so much 😊
God this is so cute. I felt SO happy for the little bear. Their so happy their fixed 🥰
thank you so much for watching glad you liked it 😊
This man really has very amazing memory. He takes it all off and put it all back together.
If I were him , I can easily stripped it down and then throw it away to the cabin trash 😂😂
thanks a lot for your comment :)
I was caught so off guard with the fact that you squeezed the water out of the bear in a death grip, but you were so gentle to it the rest of the video. Got a little laugh outta me. Other than that, I truly admire your work, care, and love, that you put into your work! Great job! ❤️
he he, I didn't mean to dead grip him :) I am glad you liked it
Oh no! it was just a very enthusiastic hug !
👏👏👏 This restoration project is truly heartwarming! It's amazing to think about the joy and nostalgia it would bring to the original owner of this rare mechanical toy. The attention to detail and craftsmanship involved in restoring it is commendable. I'm curious to see how the final result turned out and the reactions it elicited. Well done to everyone involved! 🌟🎉😊🧸
thank you so much for your comment I really appreciate it :)
So lovely, it made me cry a little. Marvellous work you do.
Thank you! 😊
So sweet how you cared for teddy!
Боже мой,какой очаровашка! У вас золотые руки,спасибо за этого парня! 😀

Мишку хреново расчесал...минус
