You sir are definitely an artist. Been admiring many of your restoration projects for awhile now yet this one really grabbed my attention. Outstanding work!
I never thought I was going enjoy more than 20 minutes of a video of restoring a tool. I also admire the intelligence of those who created the original tool. Chapeau to the German ingeneers.
I really appreciate that you showed how hard it was to disassemble this! I feel like some restoration channels stick to "progress" without covering how you have to deal with issues like screw heads stripping, or the handle snapping while you try to wiggle it off. I feel very discouraged sometimes, when it seems like channels have zero problems and have a project done, seemingly, in an hour or two. It would be really great to get am estimate at the end of roughly how long it takes to restore an item.

You’re such a professional and have a high level of quality compared to any other restorer on TH-cam,, simply amazing!!.
This is proof that not everything needs to be verbally explained. The only sounds coming from the tools and process is hypnotically peaceful
Thank God this channel has no music, but I would love to hear some voice overs as to techniques.
Big eye open for this video, stopped breathing to end finishing of work,no word ❤️👍👌
Incredible! Not many people would have saved that rusty old tool but you made it better than it was when it was new!
Thank you very much, I'm glad you like it :-)
Turning the ball was nice to see. Never seen this before
The ball turning technique has been the standard method of making a sphere in a machine shop for 100 years, not as unique as you may tjink.
But AS an cutting machine Operator i never saw it with a Combination of NC Turner Chuck and a outturning tool
This Screwdriver looks much better than 90% of modern Screwdrivers I saw!
this thing is the equivalent to an modern cordless screwdriver.
no need for this anymore.
I had no idea that the ratchet principle is that old, but German engineering was ahead of its time.
Yes indeed
@@alfa-psi Yes, it's "its".
It was, it is and will be
That’s why they had great tanks lol
Lot of stuff claiming to be German was actually Czechoslovak origin or concept ...even first Volkswagen was a copy of the Czechoslovak car parts and guts was copied
If you weren’t a master level craftsman, you’d probably be a Oscar winning director/cinematographer honestly. The pacing of every video is on point, absolutely zero wasted time. The macro shots of the smaller component restoring is grips me every single time.
Truly amazing content, I have shared your videos in the past to great reception
I'm sure people and myself included would love a tour of the shop and all the tools you have. I am truly amazed at all the tools you use and the machinery you work with. Great stuff, love your work.

Отличная немецкая инженерия! Просто обалденная реставрация на уровне искусства! И безусловно превосходный видео монтаж и подача материала! За всё 5+
А как думаешь почему столько просмотров?
@@alexlion5965 Не знаю за других,за себя скажу,нравится как он дотошно все делает.
@@alexlion5965 А ты сам почему смотрел?
@@natanmishelson Видно потому почему и все??)
@UCBYG26WePXVTyms6YvnNilA Скорей всего нет. Объясню почему ,лично я про отвёртку смотрел 3 раза.Не сразу конечно.
Но 3 раза!!! Первый раз смотрел и удивлялся,блять какие немцы молодцы,в те годы уже делали отвёртки с трещоткой.!!!
Второй раз уже просто наслаждался реставрацией,ну а третий раз просто так удивлялся как он хорошо монтирует,крупный план когда надо и так далее..
Я бы ещё какую нибудь музыку негромкую добавил ,но и так у него ролики залипательные!!!
Я просто в ШОКЕ от твоей работы ! Золотые руки ! С большим удовольствием смотрю все твои ролики , и всегда остаюсь довольным твоими результатами. СУПЕР ! Подписка давно , а Жирные Лайки всегда однозначно !
This is such a cool tool ! This is probably the most useful thing I've seen being brought to life in this way.
I like everytime when you are facing a problem,
"I make a new one.", calmly and confidently.
When he zoomed up on oddly shaped damaged ball, and said... no worry.. I MAKE NEW ONE.. I shat. a fucking sphere-shaping machinist tool then just blew my mind, sad about no spring part though lol).
Him: this screw needs to be replaced
Me: HES GONNA SAY IT
Him: I make a new one
Me: YES
ahaha same feeling
Need a new one.Hold my beer....
Even my 4-year-old knows this must be.
Germans had this 130 years ago. Let that sink in for a moment.
At this time the Americans used a stone for hammering nails... Wait, they didnt even had nails 🤣
@@antonglonner4687 US and germany started industrialization in earnest at around the same time (1850 onward)
@@RaidsEpicly it's just a joke Mate
@@antonglonner4687 leave it to the German to find the most unfunny joke in history
I sinked for a moment, and now you are a tool.
I love that you take things that are unusable and repair them so that they become useable again. Now it's a tool that can last another 100 years if cared for properly.
Imagine that one German guy who made this seeing the effort someone will go through today to restore his work.
one _150 year old_ German guy
@@Almashina it's a hypothetical, ofc he's long gone.
He would be like "Why TH-cam puts so many Ads in 20 minutes video, I have a family to feed and don't have money for youtube premium"
He sees.
He would be amazed by some of the modern tools we have.
You are way beyond what others are offering as “restoration” on TH-cam. Craftsmanship of another level!!
Yes. If there's ever a spaceship to another planet you have to go.
This is pure love of the tool, fabrication and machining arts.
For real dude everyone just throws flour and water make it look all rusty and fix it they almost have no problems with restoration
be careful on saying that because although i agree that this is one of if not the best restoration channels, backhanded compliments no matter how true or pure intentioned are still backhanded
@@Lynn-rv4ty Which comment was backhanded?
I'm surprised nobody still makes a design like this, with the fold-out handle, that's amazingly smart
Best restoration video I've ever seen, and I've watched a few. The craftsmanship and skill in this video is incredible, up to and including the video graph and editing.
Это не реставрация
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@МирагорВ wish I knew what you said, but thanks I guess. 🤷🏼♂️👍🏽
Mr. "My Mechanics", you ruined watching all other restoration channels for me because what you do is pure perfection, amount of details in your restorations is amazing and while I watch other "similar" channels and when I see what they do, sandblast this and paint it from a can, all I can think is, that's not how "my mechanics" would do it :D Respect! Greetings from Croatia!
Немецкий гений... Впечатляет, 19-й век, а такой инструмент уже был. Автору респект! Такой реставрации позавидуют именитые специалисты.

As a drafter, I thoroughly enjoy how you display the disassembled device on the table. You present the parts like an exploded drawing view!
Well he wants to prove it's all there, and he didn't just buy all new parts
And whats special about that? I would do that too
They REALLY don't make em like they used to! What a beautiful piece of history
that's a real tool made with pride back in the day when working people did a job from the heart. well done this was an honor watching a piece of history re made.
totally agree
Thats quite the romantification of the past...its a well made and beautiful piece of history but doesn't tell us about the makers motivations or thoughts. Plenty of people back then worked to put food on the table same as today, and others worked with a passion for their craft, also like today.
This has to be one of the sexiest screwdrivers I’ve ever seen!! You should make replicas!!
I would buy one !!!
Me too.
it's german, means there is nothing better
I would buy one too, if you send it to Brazil!
I want one too this looks so cool
When you screwed on the rotating lever part into the fresh wood I got chills. It’s been 100 years since anyone has seen that tool. Amazing job
Woaahh chills BatChest
Not only are you a master at restoration and videography, but the tools you choose to restore are are incredible, too. I continue to be blown away by your work
"This entire tool is damaged beyond repair..."
"I make a new one."

@@lucascamargo4492 HAHAHAHAHAHHAA
But... Very very sloooow
yea, i mean, the only thing from the original tool are the dimensions

wow, i dont know what im impressed more with the beautiful german engineering or your skillset!
Many thanks for watching :-)
Both, both is impressive
I'm impressed by how clean his hands/finger nails are.
I'm impressed by how he is capturing all processes.
@@-Ordinary-Average-Guy fetish much
Saudades desse canal, nunca teve tão parado esse canal, com esse mega projeto, mas esse vídeo mostra a síntese de quando era bom, vídeos curtos pequenos projetos, grandes técnicas e restaurações épicas.
I want one of these, like that design would be seriously handy, especially if you could swap out the bit.
Glad you like it :-)
Yes, I think you can switch the bit, that's a pretty handy design, I wish I had one of these too (and probably wouldn't even use that much)
I think you can, thats why it had a notch connected to the long bar. Its freaking awful isn't it tho.
I seem to remember my father having one of those in the very early 1950`s, maybe he brought it back after serving in Germany and Belgium during WW2
You can get a ratcheting screwdriver at any home improvement store
"I broke my arm the other day."

Ok, I make a new one.
Did he turn his arm on the lathe?
Good job
@@106640guy or did he plated his new arm bones with nickel?
Made a new arm with only 1 arm, thats impressive.
Это невероятное видео. Я даже не подозревала, что в те времена уже были такие инструменты! Мой муж в восторге. Думаю, многие захотели иметь у себя эту отвёртку. Браво!
I'm just continuously rewatching old videos. Always such a pleasure.
Thank you so much for your support :-)
I have just watched a masterclass in machining, a person who understands his lathe and what it’s able to do. A very enjoyable watch.
I never seen anyone make a ball barring like that, that's insane.
Riiight? I'm a CNC machinist and that part blew my mind.
@@Falinzin Same
ingenious!
А ведь прошло уже 130 лет. Талантлив изобретатель, который придумал такую отвёртку и не менее талантлив реставратор, у которого золотые руки
Да уж инженерная мысль была в те времена на высоте ! У меня до сих пор жив клон такой же отвертки , только советского пр - ва с синей ручкой и со сменными битами , весь набор в пласт . стакане с крышкой , как ракета .

Absolutely unbelievable!! I watch his videos and sit here just shaking my head because I can’t believe anyone could this much skill and knowledge! I look at some of these pieces and think, there is NO WAY anyone can get that thing working again! And then not only does he make it work again, but it’s probably better than it was brand new! this man is a genius!
its incredible how some threads look almost perfect even when the thing was clearly stuck in the dirt for so long
I would be too disappointed if u had not shown how its used...
Ditto. I kept thinking, "Oooooooh! If he doesn't show it in _action_ , then I'm gonna go _nuts_ here!"
Same here.
I had no idea what it was until shown... those clicks are very satisfying. Not sure if some effect on the mic sound or something.

I never thought I was going enjoy more than 20 minutes of a video of restoring a tool.
I also admire the intelligence of those who created the original tool.

Making the new ball was probably one of the coolest things I have seen in a long time. Nice work.
I think I would also order some new balls there 🤣
I was gonna write the same comment. Damn that was impressive
I really appreciate that you showed how hard it was to disassemble this! I feel like some restoration channels stick to "progress" without covering how you have to deal with issues like screw heads stripping, or the handle snapping while you try to wiggle it off.
I feel very discouraged sometimes, when it seems like channels have zero problems and have a project done, seemingly, in an hour or two. It would be really great to get am estimate at the end of roughly how long it takes to restore an item.
This is the definition of "German engineering" at its best
yeah
And all that way Back in 1892. Germans are the best 😎 hehe
Yup. Even the STG-44. The Grandfather of all Assault Rifles.
Truly, Germans are way ahead of their time.
