@@OddTinkering maybe you can sell the items you don't use its a great way to make money as many people are losing jobs and the restored items are worth a lot
7:06 Look at all those parts. This lamp should last forever... No plastic, just quality stuff. Amazing construction and you oddtinker did an amazing job like always.
It will be a non ferrous metal. The lamp is an Explosion Proof Lamp. Designed to use in areas were flammable vapours or explosives are stored. The seal stops fumes, the thick glass and grill means if the bulb bursts no hot fillament is exposed. And non ferrous , no sparks if its hit by something.
You're about the only restoration channel that also manages to get a laugh outta me while you're at it, keep up the amazing work! Much love from the UK!
Elecrtician's nightmare using that kind of knife to strip the cable, also seen a incarving on the neutral wire (Electrician myself), the restoration result was exelent tho
You have perfected the ability to show a work process long enough to see what you are doing but cutting at the right time for it to not get boring or too long I love your videos, they are so relaxing and educational :) thank you for your work!
I really love these videos cuz i have a weird interest in restorations but quiet and simple, and i like how u restore the products. Honestly i have these videos in a list i use to fall asleep haha, i wish u put more content out but i just watch alot lol
You have a Wiz smartbulb too! That made me so happy! I love those things so much! I have ones that not only adjust the kelvins in the whites, but can also change to any color I want. Feit Electric has smartbulbs as well, but they can't make funky patterns. They're just easier to control when it comes to manipulating the color saturation. Lovely video!
Exactly! The green/yellow wire is used for ground. There are strictly regulations for that. In Romania ( Europe ) we use red for positive, blue for negative and green/yellow for ground. The bulb socket doesn't look too old. You are doing such a great job.
This was so entertaining to watch. I love the elements of humour you put into your content, and also that you're faithful to the original lamp by reproducing the labels.
This one is really incredible! I didn't know you could do even better than what you usually do All you videos are amazing 👏 Thank you so much for all your time and effort!

I always depends, I ran into some trouble with a project I started an then this turned out to take 2 weeks instead of one. I might have something ready also next week but I'm unsure. Next project should be quite easy. But editing also always takes time.
Finally, someone who is nice. I really can't get a girlfriend in school because they are A: taken (like you are, lucky him) or B: hates me, or finally C: Will be in a horrible relationship. I am glad there are people like you out there that actually give me some damn hope, because I am sick of all the girls at my school, all the boys are sick of it too. This is America. Unavailable or available with no hope of survival. And we can all agree that Mr. Odd is the best restoration man both sides of the Mississippi.
