@nikodimus86……. I totally agree with you. It’s evil what the fake animal rescue channels are doing for the sake of views. TH-cam obviously doesn’t give a crap and wont remove them so the only option is for People to quit watching and posting comments on their channels…….like that will ever happen.
@@Nikosakii yeah lol like if you like restoration because it preserves an item lost to time just watch the historical painting restoration vids, these are allowed to just look nice
@@tubecated_developmentlmao thats why you are getting fooled its gonna spoil the experience if you knew its fake not worth watching if we are talking about restorations
Yeah. There’s been a few times restoring axes and tools where I was like. “How’d they get it looking new without resurfacing it. I’ve had to completely re surface a few aces before I realized I actually like the pitted look of old steal. It gives it character and patina
@@wisemankugelmemicus1701 It wouldn't cause piting and rust. You can tell if a video is faked pretty easily. Especially if they go outside and find it. That's always a huge red flag for one.
@@Helperishere problem is I dont think I would want whatever is getting caked up on the airsoft pistol getting inside parts that affect the function of the gun Real guns have less moving parts and are made to be disassembled and cleaned. Thats more what I was getting at.
@@wisemankugelmemicus1701 that airsoft pistol is 100 dollars the real one is 500-600 base price. And the value of the real one if it had to be restored from that would probably be 200 dollars also it would cause pitting, discoloration and effect the tolerances and durability of the internal parts
Yeah I'm wondering how you're gonna do that to the piece, NOT clean it up and show us that you can get that to look new again.... Didn't prove anything in this video except you can provoke corrosion. Holy moly
The only restoration channel i trust is called "odd tinkering" and all of his videos are 100% real (he mostly restores electronics) i rlly recommend watching some of his videos.
His stuff is more legit, but he fakes a lot of things too. And what he and others like him are doing isn't really restoration. It's more like using portions of an original item as a base to build a "like new" version of it that is half comprised of newly fabricated or replacement parts.
Another giveaway is when the screws come out of something and the threading is still in perfect condition. Usually the interior mechanisms of actually old items degrade somewhat too, or at least dry rot, depending on the materials and how it's been stored.
@@minheepark4896what he means if they say it's years old and doesn't have pitting it's a fake restoration video which is true. But I liked your comment anyways because your technically correct 😂
@@qz2026then you look for other damages. If the item isn't obviously broken, the item was randomly found outside in the mud for no reason, or if there is not piting then it's most often faked. They just grab an item, put it in the mud for a week, and hope it gets dirty enough to fake.
Backyard Ballistics made a very detailed and comprehensive video about this, you should check it out. As a general rule of thumb, if the gun being "restored" is modern and expensive (and ESPECIALLY if it's something with "video game appeal" like, say, a Desert Eagle), the restoration is very likely fake. The older the gun is (eg. Cold War era, WW2, WW1, etc.), the higher the likelihood that the restoration is actually genuine. I'd personally think it's common sense that the older the gun, the more likely it is to actually be in a bad condition, but judging by the popularity of these fake restorations, you never know.
have to agree, a large percentage are fake and ruin perfectly good objects but worse are the ones who "restore" genuine artefacts and destroy all the provenance they have, recently watched a genuine early middle ages axe that should have been in a museum being totally destroyed in an attempt to make it like new, heart-breaking
Making something actually old and rusty into almost nee is amazing no need to give away a masterpiece that could resemble how it once looked to a museum for no reason
@@HyresSubaruprojectstotally agreed, unless it’s historically significant beyond “it’s old and is yet another example to show us what things used to look like.” If it’s truly an important artifact that hasn’t had many found and put in a million museums than I would much rather see them brought back to life and passed on for years to come!
@@PunkThePrincess You don't get it. Something becomes old, then vintage, then antique, then a relic. It's not matter of how many but the history that very object had before getting in your hands. Renewing will distroy this history forever. If you want to see it new, a reproduction would have the same effect. That means an "Oh!" and forget the object after a few days, while the history of the renewed one would be lost forever.
@@Paulie7777 So you're saying time passing by is an opinion? Good for you. You'll never get old. That's how time works, not an opinion. You don't existed for a long majority of your actual life and now you are here, but maybe, if you are lucky, you could become a relic in the distant future for new species finding your bones and possibly all your internet self from the immense and self renewing Google Archive AI. They could say "He had strong opinions about the arrow of time, but were all wrong".
So many people out there have little understanding of what rust is and what a real rusty piece of metal should look like. Luckily a lot of us dont fall for the fakes ... Great video 👍
Honestly, the "fake" restoration stuff used to bug me; but I realized I just usually watch them because there isn't any talking and I like seeing things get cleaned. It's like the rug cleaning videos. I know they find cheap rugs, dirty them, let them sit for a couple days, then clean them. The videos are what I call "comfort TV". I guess for me, as long as I acknowledge that they're manufactured, it doesn't really bug me. But I understand why it bothers others.
Well, that would sure explain a mucked up old Singer sewing machine restoration I saw recently. I could not believe that the etched designs in the metal were still in pristine condition. Aha - now I know how that was possible - LOL!
I mean if the thing being restored is literally crumbling apart, it can’t really be faked but yes people definitely fake it because it’s very cathartic.
After I saw a, "restorer" find a whole Playstation 2 in a junkyard....I was like yeah no....he found console and then a little further down the road controllers
of course they are. It's a quick way to turn a video. Just like all the rug cleaning videos where the rug is completely black and caked with mud. Do you think there's that many runs hanging out in people's yards for 15 years and are perfect underneath all the muck? But no holes, bugs or worn spots?
Oh yeah, I figured this one out fairly quickly when I saw a bunch of different "restoration," channels where everything had that same kind of "rust" and "grime" caked on it, as if it had just been dug up from some muddy pit... I suspect a lot of the rug cleaning videos are fake too. Fortunately, there are a few legitimate channels. "Old Things Never Die" is one I just found, seems good.
I used to do corrosion control on ships that's about as brutal of rust as you can get. It's funny how there's no pitting or more destruction than there is. I've seen steel exposed to salt water environments with just a few months/years, so when someone shows oh I found this 100 yr old+ item and brought it back to perfect, I'm like, yea , sure 😅
Thank you for telling. I've always wondered where these content makers get all those semi automatic weapons that are rusted so bad. And WWll lighters. I knew they had to be fake.
Im sure this is used on small scale items , sometimes ! Do not let it ruin the videos , because you have no way of telling for sure . Just because they could does not mean they did!
First of all, we KNOW this already. My question is, Is it really even about the history or authenticity of restoration or is it about the satisfaction you get from watching something become restored to a like new state again?
Hand Tool Rescue is a great channel. Dude up in Canada does restorations on all types of machines and such, no guns, but the stuff he does is great. The ones that are fake are usually from India. Sorry India, but that's what I've noticed.
It’s actually as simple as hydrogen peroxide, some salt, and vinegar. Very acidic compound that eats at metal. I’ve only seen a few authentic rust restorations where it’s not just an orange dust on the surface. Just watched one with a pocket knife and it was messy. Metal was all types of eaten into, it took more than a few steps to derust and restore it, and the finish product almost look like a piece of rotten wood shaped into a knife which was the best he could do. 90% of the rest is just an old gun with a thin layer of rust they can just scrap off and polish

You can always tell if the rust causes pitting. Where the rust has eaten small holes in the item.
Is this the best way?
The guy is a goof
Yeah. There’s been a few times restoring axes and tools where I was like. “How’d they get it looking new without resurfacing it. I’ve had to completely re surface a few aces before I realized I actually like the pitted look of old steal. It gives it character and patina
that sounds scary af
And always remember: plastic doesn't rust...
Backyard Ballistics did a great video on telling fake restores from real ones. I'm so glad a fake gun was used for the fake video.
Its a real airsoft pistol which might still mean its unsalvageable, in fact it might be better to use a real gun than an airsoft one for this

It's because most people don't give a shit about learning about rust
Well said ❤️
He even added the crickets 😂
That poor sig, was my first thought. And then I watched again and saw the co2 cartridge
Confirmed toy.
bro just boiled that pistol in the mysterious substance
This is why I look for restorations of actual old tools. Like things I know for a fact were made in the 19th or early 20th century
Wow! Did you find that SIG air pistol in the trenches in France or in the jungles of the Philippines?
Rusted plastic is always a solid hint something isn't right.
same with primitive house builds but they're still fun to watch
Yeah but they then abandon the places and leaving their mess behind
I only keep to two restoration channels, My Mechanics and Mr Patina. Those guys are pure artists, no bullshit involved.
There's also Old Things Never Die, too!
Hand Tool Rescue
Wonder if this is how Hollywood VFX teams “oldify” certain movie props? If not, then damn, it would be a good technique to start using!
I don't care how old the items are. I show up for the process itself. It's relaxing.
Thanks you just showed me how to fake reatorafion vids saved me tons of money and time 😂
I had my assumptions thanks for clearing it up

they can restore the latest gadget that was released few weeks ago like its been there around WW2
I always comment on the fake ones complimenting them on their weathering skills.
I get your point man, but it still needs to be restored! 😅

I can’t be the only one who wants to know the chemical that ages it.
It’s actually as simple as hydrogen peroxide, some salt, and vinegar. Very acidic compound that eats at metal.
I’ve only seen a few authentic rust restorations where it’s not just an orange dust on the surface. Just watched one with a pocket knife and it was messy. Metal was all types of eaten into, it took more than a few steps to derust and restore it, and the finish product almost look like a piece of rotten wood shaped into a knife which was the best he could do. 90% of the rest is just an old gun with a thin layer of rust they can just scrap off and polish
Idc if its fake it helps with my anxiety and lets me go to sleep peacefully
Yup you proved my point
I always wondered why so many have no pitting underneath all that "rust"..i knew something was up, but wasn't sure what it was
