My mouth has fallen open and I'm drooling, transfixed at the absolute mastery of the work you do. In every industry there is a benchmark. In the restoration industry you and the final products that you put out are that benchmark. Some people perform tasks and execute skills well, what you do is artistry. You are a master craftsman thank you for sharing your vision of perfection with the world. No music? you don't need, it the sounds of your work and tools are music fitting to the artistry done here, your editing is phenomenal with no fast motion photography just the steps it took to get the job done, the time spent doesn't matter it shows in the final result. I am forever grateful that I found your channel don't change anything.
Oh yeah... there is no music... i must have been too tensed to notice. Those ribbits screaching in tension: "will it break? Will it hold? Just a notche! A bit more. Must make sure it will never slip again" Just like nipples, so squiky clean! Nice finishing! Srry... i complicate what I have to say. Hope I didn't gave away my dirty mind xD ... Look! it was tense alright?! Edit: gigaddy! Xd
@@mymechanics Deine Arbeit ist wirklich erstaunlich. Vor allem auch die enorm smoothe Videobearbeitung setzt dich von anderen Restaurateuren ab, und macht deine Videos noch viel sehenswerter.
the fact that he uses this specific shear that he restored in his later videos to cut metal makes me quite happy. channels like this first got me into manual labor, and i like it a lot.
One of the coolest things about this vid is, that the Shear still appears to work after 90 years... before any restoration... now that was quality in manufacturing.
Part of that is due to the simplicity of the construction, fewer moving parts means fewer points of potential failure, and when you consider that it's built for a very singular purpose, that simple but effective design is easier to get away with. It also helps that it doesn't have any wood or plastics in its construction, which would degrade more readily, and was predominantly made from large, solid cast metal pieces, which by their mass alone have some resilience against meaningful degradation of function by the surface oxidising. The main points of potential failure would be the pivot point bolts, which could just as easily have been locked up by rust and rendered the whole thing inoperable if lady luck had been less kind.
Absolutely unreal work, and I love your style too. No music, no sped up footage, just quick cuts (even to minor things like switching off equipment). It's like the build is being told as a story. Utterly fantastic.
This is not only the restoration, it is improvement! Casting edges removed, sharp edges too, parts alignment, etc. It looks better than when it was brand new! Awesome work, thank you for sharing!
My God the sand blaster button is so so frustrating to see, out of all the immaculate equipment in that workshop and BOOM broken button on the sand blaster..... So annoyong. Take nothing away from his truly masterclass work.
Please don't stray too much from this video format. Using real old items, raw audio, nothing flashy but just regular edits and fine skill and you'll prosper. I was just looking at your channel this morning in the hopes of seeing a new video, and finally this popped up.
I think every one of your restorations are always, "better than new"! And with many of the small fine tunings and removing of casting marks and sharp edges, you always do, to me, I think most of them are much better than when they were new! And this one is a great example of that, with the sloppy handle being refitted properly, etc. What a joy these restorations are to watch!
There are a lot of channels restoring old hardware and machines, but this channel is by far the best! You really take your time to restore with precision, dedication, eye for detail and pure craftsmanship! Compliments! 👍👌
It is pure Swiss craftsmanship we are lucky enough to watch on his channel. Our storyteller has learned how to expertly work metal. No wonder his nation's products are the best (and most expensive) in the world. He is a tremendous ambassador.
Thank you there are so many other channels getting way more view for such low quality restorations I watched this beginning to end it’s just a work of art I would love to shake your hand
When this tool was originally made, the manufacturers said to themselves "ehh, it's a tool not a trophy. As long as it works, who cares what it looks like." When you got finished with this item, it was a trophy tool. Your attention to detail is mesmerizing, and I like that you do not add music to the video. Not everyone shares the same musical preferences. Over all, this was a most satisfying video. Thank you for all the labor you put into making it, and thanks you for sharing it with us. -CacheRAM
I can only wholeheartedly agree with every single word you said, especially about his attention to detail. This is the absolute pinnacle of restotainment on TH-cam. ... und an den Besitzer des Kanals: Hochachtungsvolle Grüße in die Schweiz aus Österreich :)
It's relaxing and satisfying until you've done it from 9-5 and the weight of the hose and blaster starts to make your forearm ache. Don't forget the kink in your neck from trying to squeeze every second of life out of the sandblasting screens your boss never buys enough of.
I am 80 years old and I discovered your channel recently. I love to watch you working. It's so beautiful what you do. Perhaps I like it so much because my husband was a tool and die maker and engineer designer. He learned his trade in Germany. He is now 90 years old. Thank you Sara
That shear is still made and Beverly is located in the oldest building still standing in Chicago, not far from where I was born. Magnificent restoration as always! Congratulations.
There are a few other restoration channels who's work ranges from decent to fairly poor , but every restoration I've seen on my mechanics has been nothing short of absolute perfection ! It's a real pleasure to watch , thanks for sharing and keep the quality work coming 👍👍
the best restorer of all time. It's the truth. Very patient, very diligent and most importantly-it does not accelerate the video... I will wait for the next project👍
Every time I watch a video of my mechanics, I can't help but admire the shiny finishes, the precision in every step, the willingness to make his own parts... And yet the greatest question remains unanswered: how in the sweet hell does he keep his nails so clean and nice?! He must be blessed by the gods of manicure, however else he could have such nice hands and shapely fingernails. Somehow my mechanics manages handling pieces of dirty and rusted metal and yet retains those forever pristine paws... Teach me Master! Howwwww???
1. You’re incredibly talented 2. Your master skills are phenomenal 3. Sandblasting HAS to be therapeutic 4. The lathe draws me in 5. Thank you for your videos!
I worked in a place where they sandblasted freakish huge gears from wind turbines. It's the worst job ever. The sand creeps in every hole of your body. Can't recommend.
Sandblasting is definitely not therapeutic. 1. Visibility is low because you need to constantly replace plastic screens. Sometimes you can't see at all because your boss hasn't ordered the damn things and you're sandblasting on faith alone. This can turn even an easy to clean part into a very frustrating task as you're hunched over a machine for a long time. 2. Depending on how good of a machine you have it will clog semi-frequently. This goes back to the 'your boss hasn't ordered it' category; if you're too cheap to buy screens you're not gonna waste money on good, fresh, dry sandblasting medium. 3. Sandblasters kill themselves. The gun will eventually chew through itself, the hoses too. It will eventually eat itself away. This happens a lot slower depending on how expensive of a model you get. 4. Sand everywhere. Unless that's somehow your thing. 5. All these problems culminate together to a very awkward and frustrating experience where you're constantly trying to keep the machine running while cleaning parts and having nearly no visibility to see if the gun is even shooting sand at the moment or if it's clogged.
You done it again my friend. Peered restore. What I like about your videos is the fact that you focus in on the job at hand without the need for self promotion or mindless chit chat. Keep them coming. Looking forward to the next one
I cannot get over how insanely good every aspect of your videos is. firstly you hands down have the most complete and perfected restorations of any youtube channel, I love how you have no obnoxious music just the wonderful sounds of the metalworking process and your editing is flawlessly entertaining and reminds me of another fantastic channel"Primitive technology". please keep up the fantastic work as i will watch every single video you make,
I realize it's maybe a bit late as I've just discovered this great channel, but I wonder if anyone else gets the truly satisfied sensation after seeing this perfectionist complete one restoration after another, and realizing he is restoring pieces of history as well?...... just fantastic and exceptional detail in them all.......
"This screw is bent. Instead of just hammering at it until it's close, let's machine and polish a perfect replacement." THIS is why this is my favorite restoration channel.
Recently discovered this channel, and I'm completely hooked (or mesmerized, can't decide which). Not only have I come to savor the craftsmanship of your work, I've come to appreciate the care and discipline of your work processes. That you have a knack for recording and editing the process makes your videos a wonderful introduction to what the machinist's art can achieve. Many thanks! [BTW, I googled 'Beverly Shear' and the firm was purchased by Mittler Brothers Machine & Tool in Wright City Missouri--and they continue to manufacture & service the Beverly Shear line.]
The editing of these videos are superb. I didn't think I could sit here for 28 minutes watching you restore this tool, but you seem to show us what is needed and move on to the next step in perfectly timed segments that make watching effortless.
You attention to details is perfect, one of the best restauration videos out there. You can really see the amount of time and patience it takes for these. Keep it up man!
I have a Beverly Shear B2. I've had it since 1987 and it has been used almost every day for the last 35 years! This is an absolute must have for anyone that is into sheet metal work!
Sir, I know I'm only the millionth person to say it, but you are amazing. The patience, care, skill, and love that you bring to these projects is just inspiring. Thank you.
This is so cool, because I saw you use this in your scale episode, and I had assumed it was just another tool you bought for your restoration work, not that it WAS a piece of restoration work. So impressive!!!
I love how much care you show for every single part large and small, and never fabricate anything unless you absolutely have to. Thank you for your videos!
I have watched dozens of restoration videos and this is the best I've seen. To restore something to even better than when manufactured is skill and dedication above and beyond. I have subbed on the basis of this video alone.
I am impressed with your attention to detail and your skills in making parts on the metal lathe. Your work is meticulously wonderful.. Great work and beautiful videos!!!
Your channel is the only one that I watch *ALL* parts of a restoration. On the other few, I watch bits and pieces and skip to the finish product. Well done, bud!
I wish I could care for my education as much as you do for the treads of a small screw. What an inspiration you are, absolutely love your set up, your editing, the sounds of your shop and your craftmanship!
@DiesInEveryFilm Customs i should’ve know you watched this channel as well. It’s like a community of all the restoration workers and tool smiths on TH-cam
I see that the new Gressel vices are being put to good use :) Another fantastic video. The best part was: "I couldn't restore it, I couldn't buy a new one, so I made one" and I think that sums up your work ethic and dedication to your craft. Keep them coming. Me (and many many others) can't get enough of your videos.
What is my life? I audibly gasped with excitement when I realized this was the shear from many of your future videos. Super cool to know it's a tool you restored yourself! I know this is an old one, but you do an absolutely beautiful job. Keep it up!
Another master piece! This is by far the best restoration channel on TH-cam. Keep the good work, and your authentisity. I won't get tired of saying it. You are a genius!!
This popped up tonight & I can't quit watching your vidio's ! ! I always liked fixing up stuff like this .....you fix stuff I would have never tried ! Then it's museum quality !
This is like watching Clickspring (YT channel) but for tool restorations! The level of details and dedication of getting the smallest stuff shiny is just awesome. Well done! (Ps, if anyone hasn't checked out Clickspring, I highly recommend it.)
At least the third time I’ve watched this restoration...you make it hard for me to watch other channels restoration videos with this kind of craftsmanship.
Thank you for not posting stupid ads or other crap. That's why I continue to watch YOU all the time... obviously your skill too lol. But it's a personal appreciation for not forcing people that PAY for no ads, and have to watch them..... that's not what youtube was about when it started.... so THANK YOU!!
@@mymechanics You're welcome I remember when you started this channel and now you're almost at 300k this channel and your work and your content is just that amazing. You are the god of TH-cam restoration videos 😃

@@MarcioSilva-fz2ch O texto em inglês no vídeo explicou que a graxa serve para evitar a ferrugem. E este equipamento necessita para funcionar corretamente da graxa.
I like the way they built suspense, I almost thought they were going to give up right there; this is my first time watching this channel so I was genuinely surprised when a lathe appeared. Well done!
I'm sure someone could find a replacement in a scrapyard, given enough patience. Probably more effort than making a new one though, and there's no reason to use an old screw if it's not going to be the original, better use a brand new one.
I don't personally get the constant removal of any and all sharp edges that aren't cutting edges, but I must say it is fascinating to watch. Always keeps me coming back. :3
I'm a union Sheet Metal Worker and I found this restore project very satisfying...Thank you for bringing back new life to that old shear, no doubt the old girl had some miles on her.
I do like talent and pure devotion in all kinds of work. when I was doing my PhD about 38 years ago my supervisor and later one of my best friends tipped me off my study and forced me to stop researching and he used to say it is not a noble prise work it is merely a PhD. and ever since he accused me of being a perfectionist. Well done.
I started watching and thought it was ridiculous. The shear already worked, and the best you could do was clean it up and maybe paint it. But you really transformed it. It is much better than it ever was. You are a true craftsman. I would be afraid to use it now, because it is more than just a tool.
I suspect it works better now than when it left the factory. That’s the genius of this restorer; not only did he clean and restore it, he also made it into a better tool.
This is a level of artistry I didn't realize existed...you took a wonderful old tool and didn't just restore it, you actually improved it. Thank you for sharing this, it's wonderful to see.
Only the hands of a master machinist can perform such lovely restoration. You are most definitely a Master Machinist. Beautiful work. I do wish I had that kind of talent and abilities to perform such work.
I've seen all of the posted videos and this is one of my favorites. The restoration is magnificent, and then to watch you use it in other projects to cut metal, wow that's great. Living in Chicago, I'm proud to see a piece of my city being restored, thanks!

Out of all of the restoration channels on youtube, I think you're one of the best. So much care put into your work - Thank you for your dedication!
Also the tools he restores look genuine old. I feel like other channels just leave new tools in the rain in order to have video material
I like how he manufactures some parts himself from scratch. Haven't seen anyone else doing that.
@@MrGuano11 "I can't repair this screw nor buy a new one - so I made one myself" ... I love this so much :)
This channel has spoiled me. None of the other restoration channels measure up.

I watched the whole thing, beginning to end. No skipping. I enjoyed every second of it. Metal work poetry.
I even pause the video when it comes out some information text to not miss a second
Me too.....couldnt turn it off
There is only one imperfection in all of your videos: the fact that they end.
It's edgy but it's true
Absolutely true I am not a fan of all of my mechanics videos endings I'm always wanting more
All good things have to come to an end, no?

They're still made the same way in the same place. I don't know why you'd assume differently. Lots of US companies make quality products.
@COLORS and TASTES Your comment was so unnecessary and uncalled-for. Congrats on useless comment of the week.
@@MeniscoManeiro not as unnecessary as yours ... not even close
I see that the new Gressel vices are being put to good use :) Another fantastic video. The best part was: "I couldn't restore it, I couldn't buy a new one, so I made one" and I think that sums up your work ethic and dedication to your craft. Keep them coming. Me (and many many others) can't get enough of your videos.
What is my life?
I audibly gasped with excitement when I realized this was the shear from many of your future videos. Super cool to know it's a tool you restored yourself!
I know this is an old one, but you do an absolutely beautiful job. Keep it up!
Glad to hear that, thank you very much
Another master piece! This is by far the best restoration channel on TH-cam. Keep the good work, and your authentisity. I won't get tired of saying it. You are a genius!!
If i restore something like you i will put next to me in my bed 🛌, looks so good 🤩. Congrats 🎉
I slept with it yesterday too and i'm taking it out for dinner tonight 😅😋 thank you ✌
watch out when you sleep with it, can cut your 🥜🤣
and thank you 😁
@@TysyTube haha 🤣😅
@Daniel Doran tysytube is amazing 🤩
I love the honesty. It was nice of you to give credit to your friend. It's not like anyone would notice that it's not your hand sharpening the blade.
yeah it was so sweet man
Beverly Shears thank you from the bottom of their heart for restoring and improving their vintage product.
I like it. There is no music, just a sound of tools. Great job!
Probably the best restoration I've seen - beautiful work.
Spectacular! Your videos are therapeutic. I would love to apprentice with you for a year. Moving from an office to your shop would clear my head.
Same here, brother
This popped up tonight & I can't quit watching your vidio's ! ! I always liked fixing up stuff like
this .....you fix stuff I would have never tried ! Then it's museum quality !
This is like watching Clickspring (YT channel) but for tool restorations! The level of details and dedication of getting the smallest stuff shiny is just awesome. Well done!
(Ps, if anyone hasn't checked out Clickspring, I highly recommend it.)
me when i get in the shower: i start to clean the parts with the parts washer
🤦♂️
underrated comment. this had me loling
Chris Lawrence BRUH😂
Do you already have worn back issues by raising that "heavy duty parts washer" again and again ...?
Just freaked out my coworker by laughing at this totally unexpected and yet hilarious comment.
Always looking forward to your videos mate. No blah-blah, no music, simply craftsmanship !
At least the third time I’ve watched this restoration...you make it hard for me to watch other channels restoration videos with this kind of craftsmanship.
It always amazes me how many parts something has, even though it looks a lot simpler.
Damn, nuts and bolts brighter than my future
lol
: )

I am blown away by the quality of your work. Well done!
Thank you for not posting stupid ads or other crap. That's why I continue to watch YOU all the time... obviously your skill too lol. But it's a personal appreciation for not forcing people that PAY for no ads, and have to watch them..... that's not what youtube was about when it started.... so THANK YOU!!
I would hug you if I could. Man what a masterpiece
Same here.. He really made a masterpiece
Yes!!!! These restoration videos on this channel are out of this world. Insanely amazing
Thank you mr. Venger as always :-)
@@mymechanics You're welcome I remember when you started this channel and now you're almost at 300k this channel and your work and your content is just that amazing. You are the god of TH-cam restoration videos 😃
@@lordvengerx thank you so much for your support, i really do appreciate it :-)
@@mymechanics you are very welcome 😃
Must be awesome to just go like: "oh I can't find this thing anywhere anymore, I guess I'll have to MAKE a new one!"
Haha nice restoration, really perfect!
@@MarcioSilva-fz2ch O texto em inglês no vídeo explicou que a graxa serve para evitar a ferrugem. E este equipamento necessita para funcionar corretamente da graxa.
I like the way they built suspense, I almost thought they were going to give up right there; this is my first time watching this channel so I was genuinely surprised when a lathe appeared. Well done!
I'm sure someone could find a replacement in a scrapyard, given enough patience. Probably more effort than making a new one though, and there's no reason to use an old screw if it's not going to be the original, better use a brand new one.
oh we all knew he was gonna make one anyway. we were probably all waiting for it too. i know i was 😁
in the old days, thats what everyone had to do
I don't personally get the constant removal of any and all sharp edges that aren't cutting edges, but I must say it is fascinating to watch. Always keeps me coming back. :3
I'm a union Sheet Metal Worker and I found this restore project very satisfying...Thank you for bringing back new life to that old shear, no doubt the old girl had some miles on her.
Never knew cats can be union sheet metal workers.
@@CedarCritter Ever hear of "Cat on a hot tin roof" ? Ha ha.
@@MrKitty-zv3dl Lol, no. Is it a Non-American thing?
@@CedarCritter Nope, that was a movie in 1958 starring Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman right here in the USA... Just a play on words was all. ha ha
@@MrKitty-zv3dl Oh, okay. Never heard of it.
Never thought I'd be here, watching this during quarantine. I like this...
I've found a small sanctuary too!
Brian Thompson i too have came here for peace i also started a Instagram page for fights n stuff cause of how boring quarantine is
I've been watching this stuff more in quarantine. Imagine how I feel lol
lol.. what quarantine? XD
Beauty to fill our shitty times
When you watch one video of My Mechanics, you will wanna watch another and after that you wil be addicted to watching his videos
Yup, that's how I got started
And then you realise you've watched them all and now have to eagerly await his newest upload...
Yup !
I realised I'm an addict when I felt a genuine sense of outrage at the sheer shamelessness of the sharp edge at 10.50
There so satisfying!
I do like talent and pure devotion in all kinds of work.
when I was doing my PhD about 38 years ago my supervisor and later one of my best friends tipped me off my study and forced me to stop researching and he used to say it is not a noble prise work it is merely a PhD. and ever since he accused me of being a perfectionist.
Well done.
Making a sleeve and a special washer for the handle.
I can't find any words to describe this perfection! Thank you.
I think your skills at restoration are amazing. However I think that your video editing skills are a craftsmanship worth admiring too.
I started watching and thought it was ridiculous. The shear already worked, and the best you could do was clean it up and maybe paint it. But you really transformed it. It is much better than it ever was. You are a true craftsman. I would be afraid to use it now, because it is more than just a tool.
you are right, it no longer is a tool but a work of art
I suspect it works better now than when it left the factory. That’s the genius of this restorer; not only did he clean and restore it, he also made it into a better tool.
This isn't a restoration channel. This is a better-than-new channel
Title of his autobiography : "Removing sharp edges from my life" . Bestseller ever.
Has virtually no words
Life not usable? - I make a new one
Mr Alef:
This seems to be his life mission!
Maybe that's life is all about !!!
I paused the video to tell you that those bolts look like a dream.
Amazing job Sir.
*now back to the video
You set the standard for restoration videos on TH-cam. Thank you sir
Fabalous craft. I think it looks better than the Original. Such a pleasure to watch you work. No music, No narrative. Just pure and clean craft.
Love the meticulous perfection you put into your work. I would be reluctant to use it now because it’s a beautiful piece of art. Exceptional job.
This is a level of artistry I didn't realize existed...you took a wonderful old tool and didn't just restore it, you actually improved it. Thank you for sharing this, it's wonderful to see.
You are by far the best restorer in TH-cam! I can't wait to see more content! Thanks for sharing!!!
Every time i rewatch these restorations im just amazed and pleased all over again. Man these castings are REALLY rough
Immer wieder schön Deine Videos anzusehen. Da steckt viel Herzblut drin.
Das Beste aber ist, die Videos sind ohne nervige Hintergrundmusik.
Only the hands of a master machinist can perform such lovely restoration. You are most definitely a Master Machinist. Beautiful work. I do wish I had that kind of talent and abilities to perform such work.
my mechanics restoring a destroyed T-34 tank: -"The turret ring is busted. I make a new one."
He would do that.
Watch a tank restoration, I've seen them clip the front half of a tank hull to the back half of another tank through the turret ring.
cannon hole has a sharp edge I will chamfer it.
That would be one shinny tank
The frontal plate is a bit rusty, I'll add on some weld material *adds Switzerlands entire reserve worth of welding material*
Your early videos are - by far - my favorite in the collection.
Love how he's like can't fix it or buy a new
So he will make a new one
Love your vids man
I have never seen so good looking bolts. Amazing what a little sanding and polishing can do.
I guess you could say this video is shear perfection 😌
I love that hes still using this thing years later. Such an excellent testament to utility
It's such a great tool!
I've seen all of the posted videos and this is one of my favorites. The restoration is magnificent, and then to watch you use it in other projects to cut metal, wow that's great. Living in Chicago, I'm proud to see a piece of my city being restored, thanks!
I really enjoy how he lays all the parts out like an exploded view diagram. Very helpful when doing your own resto
That sand blasting machine button needs restoration lol nice work as always
i don’t know how i got to this side of youtube, but i’ve been here for a few weeks now and i never wanna leave
