      What you say is all true, I love his videos. And yet, I find myself wondering if these restored tools are usable, or obsolete, with the exception of the oiler, since it appears in other videos.

    • @alden1132
      @alden1132 4 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Stefan Van pellicom It is get me, too. I've learned a lot from watching restoration videos, from proper disassembly methodology to welding techniques to sandblasting, grinding, and riveting, when and how to electro-plate, cutting threads and knurling, filing casting marks, bluing/blackening, how to sand, when to use body-filler, wet-sanding primer, the kind of primer and paint to use, taping for painting, polishing, and more. I've also learned a lot about how basic mechanical concepts work and are exploited, such as centrifugal clutches,
      needle-valves, rotary- vane motors, brushed electric motor maintainance, and the like. It's so much easier to learn when you can watch it being done, and it's entertaining as well.
      'my mechanics,' 'TySy Tube,' and 'Hand Tool Rescue' are my favorites.

    I'm not exaggerating when I say that your videos have kept me going the past two weeks. When I have felt utterly unmotivated, watching your videos has helped me to feel like I can accomplish the tasks I need to get done because of how diligently you accomplish yours, and while I'm working I listen to the noise of your work and it helps me stay focused. I don't know who you are, but if I had the opportunity to shake your hand I'd take it.

They remind me of people who flip houses taking shortcuts to get quick cash... where My Mechanics is they guy who comes in afterwards, shows you what they did wrong and then fixes it doing everything right. If you read this My Mechanics guy... don't change anything regarding your work ethics or how your critical thinking works from start to finish on these projects. F'n awesome!!!

    This is seriously impressive work. I have an old scissor jack that came with the Studebaker Avanti I am almost finished restoring. The rear window leaked before I got the car, and let water into the back seat and the trunk both (thank God it's a fiberglass bodied car!), where it rusted the jack solid. I don't know why I didn't throw the thing away, as it's certainly beyond my power to restore; I just figured I'd buy a replacement at some point. I wish I could find someone like this near me who could restore it, as I hate to see things go to waste. It's nice to see things that can be brought back restored to usefulness again, instead of ending up in some landfill.

After my 25 years in machining, some of the other videos make me sick, and I only hope that those “machinists” keep what they have “restored” because I wouldn’t trust them enough to sell or even give away. However I would have no reservation in buying anything you have restored/repaired. Well done, and much respect.
