  • In the antique restoration video, I am restoring an 1890's Chatillion and Son's candy scale. I came across this at a yard sale. The owner said they had it sitting outside for 20 years or more. This was a challenging project but I am very pleased with the finished product. If you have any questions, let me know!

    One of my favorite things about tool restorations, not just this one, but any tool for that matter is the name and brand stamped in the metal. People really took pride in the tools made back in the day.

    I like and love so much all people which likes to try restoring everything for giving another life to them. So I just told myself into all this time: if all these restoring objects are thrown away before to be recovered, then restored and reused, its possible that they works again and are thrown away for recovering space at home...? Otherwise how it explain all the work video scenes, then the results?
