It's not talent. I went back to school to learn exactly this trade. Before I was 30 I walked around in the world not knowing how stuff was made. In school I learned about materials, their strengths and weaknesses, how to approach working on them and learning what materials are good for what kind of stuff. This man has a lot of miles on his meter working in this branche and that is what shows. Talent doesn't exist. Talent is adequately shaped enthusiasm. You can have a preference for what you like but no one is born with the right knowledge and tools. It's all learning and practice.
This is the only channel I’ve been able to find that actually does a perfect job. Every other channel I’ve come across that works with metal and other materials often leave imperfections in the material and leaves the job feeling unfinished. Great job.
The way these things look when restored to "as new" gives an insight as to how they might have lasted so long. They're such lovely artefacts that you would want to keep them as clean as possible for as long as possible.
For months I follow both (TysyTube and My Mechanics). Both are very good but someone has to say it. My Mechanics has a level of detail and unrivaled perfection. I repeat both are very good but seeing a finished work of My Mechanics always gives a feeling that could not be done better, however when watching a video of TysyTube leaves the feeling that they could polish a little more the small details. Congratulations to both and I am a big follower of both, thanks for such good videos.
The attention to detail and the way you shoot the video- no talking just the sound of the parts is intoxicating to watch.... surgical precision! By far, one of the finest you tube channels currently imho. Thank you for sharing.
Doctor 3 years later: "We have to amputate your arm." My Mechanics: "I make new one" Doctor: "Won't that be hard?" My Mechanics: "I make robot arm to make new one"... Doctor: "Oh..."
Fantastic attention to detail. I found one in a junk shop today. I don't have the skills or tools to do this, but I will be cleaning mine up, setting it up as a 240v lamp and using it in a 1960's building that I am renovating.
This might be my favorite restoration video I've ever seen, and I've seen MANY. This video was incredibly satisfying. I especially love the little thumb-scrapes on the imperfections of the aluminum cast and the subsequent removal of them! This is a world-class video. Really enjoyed it!
You no doubt have restored a historical treasure that is prized by someone enough to have it restored by you. Master craftsman, restorer and fabricator. You don't need to speak, Your hands say all that's needed!
My thoughts echo everyone else's here. In addition, I appreciate the real-time snippets of action, not the fast forward that all the others do. You show exactly how you are restoring the piece without having to see all the actions. Thank you for that. And yes, a huge grin appears on my face when you build up to the statement, "I make a new one". My father handy like you and watching you brings him back to me.
Perhaps because people here seems to be positively oriented; building, repairing and/or restoring (even customizing) is far more constructive than, i.e., debating politics with ignorants and/or fanatics...
Wish I was 18 years old again. I would fly to Switzerland 🇨🇭, find you and learn the Swiss language and plead to apprentice with you. Beautiful project! 👍
I like how you're friends with Tysy. I stumbled upon his channel first so he got me interested in these kinda things. You guys have different ways of approach but you're both great at what you do. Looking forward to watching more videos from you!
This was an amazing video. Those lanterns are so beautiful, and it's great to see something that is old become like new again. Thanks for the relaxing and educational video!
Wow my friend, every time I watch your videos, I'm more & more impressed by the beautiful work you do! Your attention to detail is amazing, as are the wonderful restorations that you complete! You bring life back to all these wonderful old items!! Thank you for sharing what you do with us - it's much appreciated!! Greetings from South Africa
Impressed by the high quality original manufacturing. Excellent restoration, love the brass component manufacture. Thanks for sharing and best regards from the UK.
I follow many of the owners of excellent content who are interested in maintaining old pieces, but you are very special in the precision of your work and your concern for the smallest details, and I think that you are better than my followers in this field, so thank you, and I wish you success, and I am waiting for more of these distinguished clips.
Pretty sure that reflector is simply to catch light from other sources (like the "zot-dots" on the highway that will shine red in your face when you're driving down the wrong side of the road (!) )
Dude I’m not gonna lie your videos are great to get me to fall asleep. I’m a severe insomniac and it’s really hard to fall asleep sometimes. Since you don’t talk, I just kinda go in a dreamy state while watching your videos and I sleep. So thanks you, you’ve let me sleep for good. 😁
I love how these turn out to be better than new. Instead of a mass produced lamp, you end up with a hand crafted mass produced lamp. 10/10, awesome finish.
Such great work, please take more time showing off. Like the handle on top moving before and after, and the red light. People love admiring your satisfaction with your amazing hard meticulous work and restoration! I love your videos. They surprisingly help me fall asleep too, and when I wake up, I pick up were I left off! Had no idea watching your videos would be so relaxing and satisfying to see antiques being given new life! Thank you!
I have anxiety issues but when I watch other peoples videos that are sped up, it makes me even more anxious. Your videos make me feel so relaxed! You show them in real time & take your time to decide what you want to do. Which allows us to do the same. I love the attention to detail. Your restorations are better than new when you are finished. Thank you very much. Please don't stop posting your work! I look forward to seeing your next video. Be safe
I have already mentioned once, you are a perfectionist. I love it because, I exactly do like this. The repaired / restored one should be better than the original. Great work and love to watch and hope to start one by myself.
I know nothing of tools or restoration work. I am female so give me a break! LOL But I spend HOURS watching your videos. I am just amazed at your talent! My favorite part is when you do the sandblasting. So satisfying. The part that mystifies me is how you remember how to put things all back together again!! Please keep doing your videos! I love them so much!
Whenever you “make new ones”, I constantly forget that you show a top down view, not a sideways view, and it messes me up when the parts “fall sideways”

Question asked several times below: What's the purpose of the plastic part 14:39 that is inserted into the reflector at 17:26? It's a prism reflector that directs part of the light from the bulb to the red lens/window at the back. 16:39 (NC USA)
Honestly, watching you recreate the screws, fittings and other parts to replace the old ones is my favorite part of the restoration videos. Seeing all of the tools you have is very cool, especially the ones I have never seen before. You have a fine workshop that many can only dream of having.
I am so grateful that you restored this lantern 🔦It’s such a pleasure to watch 😍.

this is the best thing about this channel, this and the green filter when he's soldering something
This guy is so talented I bet he could restore my faith in humanity.
@Homelander Done! 😁

I know everyone says it. But let me say it again.
Best restoration channel on TH-cam
Thats right.
Damn Straight!
I noticed two things about this guy: 1) He doesn't like sharp edges and 2) He just loves to make metal shine.
3) Loves making any new ones.
He even makes the inside of items he restore shine. It doesn’t matter if anyone will ever see the guts.
Him: *S h i n y.*
Also all screw holes have to be beveled in his eyes
And have probably millions of files 😂
The fine art of figuring out how to take something apart without ruining it.
Whats inside hate him
I destroyed the entire lamp..... I make a new one
Он достаточно умён для этого, но в то же время он совсем не опасается что-либо сломать, потому что... "i make new one!"
And then reassembling it better than it was from the factory
Give him a plastic thing with those hellish clasps that can't be undone and he won't sweat a single drop
You are the BEST in the restoration community... srsly... I wasn`t really awake yet and was already watching...
my mechanic's restoration skill lvl/rank: Global Elite :)
The best restoring channel is back! Nice work as always.
Seriously, it's mesmerizing each time!
I can't believe how entertaining these videos are. Only explanation is that I'm watching an artist at work!
This is the only channel I’ve been able to find that actually does a perfect job. Every other channel I’ve come across that works with metal and other materials often leave imperfections in the material and leaves the job feeling unfinished. Great job.

Well back then these were seen as common and not as we all see them today, as these things we want to protect and save
i agree. however. if i were to have done it im not sure i could have resisted upgrading the light and battery lol.
I'm so glad i discovered you....your work calm me down, it's almost like an addiction to watch your passion and patience.
There is something that is amazing about watching a master at work. You are one of those masters. THANK YOU for recording your work to share with us.
With that kind of attention to detail, it is *better* than new.

"I bought a new battery"- finally something this guy couldn't make a new one of.
ALLFAHQDUP Just because he had no time enough.
What kind of a battery is that, anyhow?
@@Madness832 by the size of it and the time period for when this product was meant to be used, i'm thinking it's lead acid.
@@carlos2004 Nah the battery says 'Alkaline' right on top so its not a lead acid.
I have watched many of his restorations, believe me he can make a new battery......(given time and materials).
Me: These videos are so soothing. I love watching them to relax to and sleep
Video, while sanding: *screeech* *hwonk* *thwom*

Who else want to see this man make an identical copy of something. Like a previous restoration(the whole thing) from scratch?
I'm a year late to reply but he did at one point make a copy of a dead blow hammer.
I would have called "good enough" on so many parts that are inside and won't be seen. Props for being that diligent: truly an eye pleaser.
Absolute perfection and a pleasure to watch. I was hoping to see the red bit lit up too, but still 10/10!
Pretty sure that reflector is simply to catch light from other sources (like the "zot-dots" on the highway that will shine red in your face when you're driving down the wrong side of the road (!) )
There is nothing more soothing and satisfying than turning brass. Short chips and the chirp is perfect.
