    I’m so glad you always show how the *thing* works at the end. You always find such unusual items to restore. I’m never quite sure what they’re supposed to do! Great stuff... thanks for sharing!

    Honestly I'm pretty sure that I and most other people would see this thing and think it was well beyond repair, so great job making it look so brand new again. Super impressive.

      Silky Steve And you know that they are genuinely old unlike some “restorers” that bury their junk in a swamp or under a compost pile for a couple of weeks.

    Just a pro paintjob tip: If you want a glowing yellow/orange/red/green. Paint the parts white first. Wet sand it and paint the desired colour over it. Your piece will be much brighter✌🏼. Keep it up👍🏻

    Up until the end I thought it was missing a saw blade, once you had it together and flexed the cutting edge that I realized it was a cutter not a long handled saw. Nicely done, sir.

    I have watched every video. I too take great satisfaction in restoring old things. I work with old automobiles though. It is very relaxing to follow you through each restoration. I also love old things from decades gone by and believe that the workmanship of such items is far superior to todays substandard manufacturing. Master craftsmen of the past deserve to have their creations given a second lease on life!
