    The antiques you find are so freaking cool and unique, and you are a truly awesome craftsman. I can't believe you have so few subscribers, and all the fake restorers out there have 10 times more followers, although they are full of BS.
    You're so underrated it's insane

      Thanks I 100% agree with you trying to get in front of the audience on TH-cam is a mission

    I like this guy. Not a fake restorer. Smart, talented, and seems like the kind of guy I’d like to sit and have a beer with.

  • @Dx20xygen7
    @Dx20xygen7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Amazing! I still couldn't get my head around how you didn't give up on trying to cast a whole part and ended up replicating it almost perfectly
    Very good one, sir. Such an elegant tool, although not as effective as its modern counterparts

    • @richardrestorations
      @richardrestorations  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thanks DX it's all a learning curve
      And don't forget these was one of the first vacuums that only needed one person to operate ,Thanks for watching 😊

  • @patientorlando1306
    @patientorlando1306 ปีที่แล้ว

    I was intrigued from the get-go as I had never seen a vacuum cleaner this old. And it just got better from there! You demonstrated so many cool skills (save for the gas pipe bit🤔) - aluminium casting, metal fabrication, label making, 3D printing (but my mind was officially blown by the 3D printer PRINTER!!!🤯). Plus the shot of your sweet ride was bonus joy (very cherry!). Thank you for taking the time to film this restoration - it was so enjoyable all the way through. Onya Mate👍

    • @richardrestorations

    Great job! I can really see your commitment to your craft and your patience and determination shows through after 10 attempts to perfect your casting! And congratulations on the weight loss you’re going to notice a difference in how you feel and how your joints feel, I lost 35kg this year and I feel like I’m 20 years younger

    When I was 17 me and my older brother would help out at this guys 30 car storage unit where he kept a collection of his vintage American cars and some UK cars he went on holiday to Spain and came back with a 1965 Lincoln continental short wheelbase limo he bought over there , he seen parked up and waited at a nearby cafe for 3 days to see if he could buy it , he was told it was something called a Whitehouse protocol and was used by US embassy's .

    I guess a 100 years ago this was high tech and sped up cleaning. In a 100 years from now people will look back at our WIFI connected robovacs and say "how primitive". Good video, thanks.

    чисто визуально, (да простят меня отцы изобретатели) КПД данного устройства не значительно выше нуля, если брать во внимание, отсутствие альтернативы, то и эта идея могла быть одобренной. Во всяком случае было сделано начало, от просто причуды до мечты и в действующий образец путь не малый, и основное если бы не было того что мы сейчас видим, однозначно не было бы и теперешнего......Путь первопроходца всегда более сложен. Мастеру - реставратору респект!
