    This is the first time you demonstrated repair on an item I had previously attempted. Man, I wish I had seen your video before I tried the repair! One day, I think a museum will approach you about working for them, and they will be very lucky if they get you! I believe there is NOTHING you cannot do!

    Good job Kyle! I find that fixing stainless is one of the most satisfying parts of a restoration. It amazes me that as you float out the imperfections with a file it doesn't cut thru the trim. Making something look new after decades of abuse is fun! Now if I could do something about my decades of abuse!😆

    @paulketchupwitheverything767 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Something really satisfying about seeing a bit of stainless trim brought back to life. It's a self contained component that is 'finished' even while a whole project is still in progress.
    Seeing Scott on CWM do his Fury trim inspired me to have a go at tapping the dents out of a chrome motorbike hub cover that I damaged years ago (I pulled away with a chain and padlock through the front wheel and have hoarded the dented part). It kind-of works on chrome sheet to an extent, providing there's no flaking of the chrome. Mine is no way perfect, but now at least I have something usable and not a total mis-shaped mess and feel justified in having kept it for so long.

    Kyle, tell the cats where you stash that trim and tell them its a secret. They'll never tell anyone, including you when you forget where you put it. This also holds true for single socks, pen caps and anything else that needs a companion piece to be complete. Over six decades of cat expierience, and I still can't find that rolled up $50.00 bill. Hmmm, maybe that why one of my rollies tasted funny. Nice nice job on the stainless. I'm one of those polishing guys, I'm a big time chrome ho, but I can change, if I have to, I guess.
