    I've watched literally hundreds of these restoration videos but this one is my favourite... I love the fact that you cared enough to salvage what you could by mating new wood with the old instead of just chucking the whole piece out and using completely new wood. Thanks again for sharing!!!!

      I saw the state of it initially and thought to myself "measure the pattern off the old and remake. Salvage the metal where you can and replace the bent rods." I then watched and felt my way would have been wasteful where before I considered myself not wasting because of fixing "what could be fixed". Now I have to reevaluate my view of what could be fixed.

      Cool, but if this wheelbarrow was to be used for normal work, the old wood and nails would not last long.

      @@qkohe155 no as hes treated the wood and got rid of the parts that were ruined whilst keeping the wood that is just as good as new. All wood if not treated properly with rot but a true restore tries to reclaim everything from its previous life as possible to keep the age of the item. There are channels on TH-cam that say there restoring an old object but make it look like it was bought off the shelf today which is wrong

    When I first spotted the wheelbarrow I wondered, "How much of the this thing could he possibly salvage?" The answer was a lot more than I thought possible. Thanks for the quality content.

You make using a drawknife look so simple I’m not sure whether to call you a craftsman or an artiste. A wonderful piece of countryside history saved.

    That is an AMAZING piece of work!! There are a LOT of people doing restoration on TH-cam, but the rang of your skills is impressive. I like seeing how you use old and modern tools together and I think this video is a perfect example with the different techniques used on the wood. It was a really nice surprise to see that you wanted to save as much of the original wood as possible, I have seen people just save the metal work and replace all of the wood. I really liked how you went about saving as much of the original materials as possible. Keep up the good work 👍👍👍👍

    I have nearly the same exact wheelbarrow. Mine was also a wreck, but I used it all the time because it was built to last. When it needed it, I replaced parts with plywood and random lumber. This video has inspired me to restore my wheelbarrow. I don't know if it will turn out as well as yours, but we'll see.
    Thanks for your video. Great!
