    My dad is a retired mechanical engineer, and because of his age, his memory is not what it used to be. When I show him your videos, he always rememberes his student years, learning how to use many of the same tools you use in your projects, and tells me all this funny anecdotes. We really enjoy watching your channel!

    The word 'restoration' is just inadequate here. By removing casting marks, reinforcing weak spots, and putting on a better coat of paint, he's making these items BETTER than they were originally, while still keeping the aesthetic and feel of them the same. Hats off. This is astonishing workmanship, as well as beautifully filmed and edited.

      There are two lines of though when it comes to restauration: "Be as faithful to a new original as possible" and "It was only new once!". The former tries to recreate exactly what it would have looked like from the factory. Some consider this a form of forgery, others swear by it. The latter tries to make it the best it can be while staying reasonably faithful to how the overall impression of the new item was.
      It's basically "make it how it was" vs "make it how I *remember* it".... Being a bit of a romantic who always remembers things better than they factually were, I'm squarely in the latter camp.... and so, it appears, is My Mechanics.

Once you can fix tools you can get for free/cheap you can start to make/fix more advanced tools.

    • @WilliamSteppan
      @WilliamSteppan 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Right!? He could have made the handlebar molds from the same material as the tires (looked like delrin), but he made then out of metal, with chamfered edges, and all for a one time use. Insane amount of attention to detail, My Mechanics is the King Midas of restoration.

    Subscribed. I love the program here. The recipe for a build like this is as follows:
    1. Restore the object to much higher than the original standard of workmanship.
    2. Fix any design flaws without scrapping the entire concept of the original.
    3. Use the original components wherever it's reasonable to do so.
    4. Plate or paint everything so it won't rust again.
    5. Make everything removable so maintenance is easy.
    6. Make every new component, including hardware and rubber parts, yourself.
    I dig this program and I am here for it.

      What I really appreciate is that he must order material for everything, it's not that hard to make a box of same screws when you have machines for that and experiences, but when you have to make many things for many projects and everything is different, that's real challange, you have to know what exactly you will need and order it. I always forget about something and I have to replace it with something then, it's always pain when you order capacitors or something and you forget about that type you need the most. 😀
