I love these smaller projects. But to tell the truth, my favorite parts of any of your projects are vapor blasting and your paint talents. Wztching you mix your paints and the seeing the lovely outcome is like magic to me.
Finally someone not wanting to save the 'patina'. I love the look of a new paint job. Liking the short video too. Reminds me of when the channel first started.
Thanks again for another great piece of restoration. I can see how the old stuff was made to be rebuilt - this is proper sustainability,! I am most impressed that leather seals of the right size are still available
Sacre Bleu!!! 😳😳😳 It's me Dad's old footpump‼️‼️Never thought I'd see that again. OK well it wasn't THAT exact one, ours was red for a start but ohh the memories it evokes of our old shed at home.❤️❤️❤️ Apart from the countless bike punctures and car tyre reflations and the sterling service it gave to us and all the local kids bikes (it was a known and valued resource that endowed my brothers and I with enhanced popularity around the estate), our Kismet was not without a modicum of infamy! Dad pumped it nightly to inflate a lorry innertube that was used to nightly aerate our fishtank until one day... pump, pump, pump... ENORMOUS ROOTIN' TOOTIN' RIP ROARIN' BANG!!! The noise was loud enough to bring the neighbours to our door! Had Dad shot Mum??? Were the kids next??? Nope. The fishtank innertube had let rip with a sonic boom 💥 The CR250 was awesome Sir, but this resto, for me, was mind blowing!❤️❤️❤️
Lovely little resto, i'm liking these little projects in between the big ones. That vapor blaster does an awesome job, though I gotta admit I was a bit shocked at the amount of gunk the Deox C pulled off the metal bits! Good work with the lathe, maybe you could find an old one and restore it?
Thank you, really glad you are still enjoying my little side projects. Yeah I was surprised too as the steel really didn't look that rusty just goes to show how appearances can be deceptive.
I recently restored my dad’s red Kismet Baby foot pump. Came out very well, better than new. Made the leather seal out of a piece of leather chair sample. Pumps to 60+ psi.
Thank you for watching :) Yeah I love the vapour blasted finish it looks good on camera but im real life the quality of the finish it leaves is unreal!
Awesome little pump! I love that you give it as much attention to detail as you do the big projects. On a side note, TH-cam just now alerted me that posted this video nine hours ago....it's 16:28 Mountain Standard Time US.
Whether it's a 10+ episode epic or an 18 minute quickie, all your videos are amazing, informative and entertaining! Keep it up and bring on the next project! 👍
You never cease to amaze me the amount of attention in detail that you put in every restoration from the big to the small. You have an amazing skill set and cannot wait to see what the future holds. I do have a question, what kind of paint stripper do you use? Methylene chloride strippers are banned in the USA and it would be nice to get some of what you have.
Another brilliant restoration great to see a footpump brought back to life again instead of being thrown away, well done looking forward to your next video
Awesome restoration and very thorough as usual. I just recently restored my grand fathers floor Jack from the 70’s. I can’t wait to see what the next bike restoration will be! Take care!
Nice little project bud. Keep up the great work and your shelves will be groaning under the weight of pristinely restored objects of pleasure. Not so sure about the nose and chin making an entrance as I do like the anonymity aspect. I do miss the narration though. The Scottish burr has a nice soft tone to it. I am not used enough to the different accents to pick out where in Scotland you are from but it is pleasant to listen to. High praise for wearing "proper" overalls and I think the workshop dustcoat is developing a beautiful patina. I was always told to be wary of tradesmen who just work in blue jeans as only "cowboys" wear Jeans! Nothing shoddy about your work.
Remember the other day you posted a poll asking if you should change things? I voted leave it as is at the time, but I do have a suggestion now. Sandblasting is so satisfying, don't cut away from that. I'd watch sandblasting all the live long day, and if you don't believe me go have a look at how massive the pressure washing scene is on TH-cam. That's my input. Good vid as always bud.
Oh and one more thing, which I hope doesn't sound like rough criticism, the scrolling text along the bottom that you sometimes do, I feel like I'm either watching that or watching the content, can't do both. If it was me I'd just voice it over so people can watch the video and absorb the info together. Promise that's my last one!
That wet sand blaster is very cool. Is it more gentle on certain metals? Is that why you used 2 different sanding techniques? You have an awesome set up and you definitely know your stuff. I enjoy watching what you do. You also do some amazing work.
Haha yeah you know i like to tease you guys with my anonymity lol. A powder coating set up is on my list of toys to get right after the lathe and possibly a milling machine oh and maybe a 3d printer too lol
Perfect little resto. The vapor blaster leaves such a nice finish on metal. I wish I had one, haha! Anyway, looking forward to the next big project (MC) and also seeing more lathe work. Great job!
Nothing earth shattering, just a good laid back ASMR enjoyable, minor mechanical factory restoration. I wouldn't expect anything less from RRC. .The part that blows me away the most???. RRC reaches into a parts bin and pulls out a (still in the package) brand new 1950's Kismet leather pump seal!!!! Like dude! Where would a guy even know where to look or know what to ask for to find a scarce replacement part like that?
Stunning work as usual pal,hope you are managing to resolve the issues you were experiencing with the view totals,keep it up dude,awesome to see people not just throwing things out as they are old 👍
Thank you, Yeah im working on it as we speak just experimenting with different settings, video types, length, keywords, phrasing etc etc. Tbh i much prefer to use restored old items as 90% the quality is so much better than what you get these days especially stuff like this pump one quick restoration and its good to go for another 50 years pumping.
Everytime I hear the soundtrack at the beginning, I think of the Mars Rover. Lol this is what they used on their videos. Anyway, I'm ready to see what you did with this
Great stuff!! Looking brand new. You probably do not have the equipment to do so, but I would recommend to powdercoat this, for I think it will last a lot longer with this foot operated pump? But defenitely liking the endresult! 👌
Always a pleasure to watch your restoration work, thanks ! May I suggest you to replace the scrolling text by some static one ? I find it very long and difficult to read (but maybe I'm the only one).
Was there a bit of paint peel at 15:36 when you were fitting the triangular yellow piece? I have a part-restored Dunlop Standard. What fabulous pumps they were compared to the rubbish sold by all the major brands now
Mr RRC. Just curious - what generally happens to the items that you restore? Do you sell them on? Im also curious if you get paid to restore things or do you buy them on ebay, restore them and sell them on?
The most lay back and enjoy fine craftsmanship channel found to date. An I know a bunch of them, kid. No wonder with full motorbike restoration but damn! It even works with pumps! (+pleasing giggles @11:54 with part of your face OMG it is getting close to a hard peepee here RRC)
These little projects are good to keep us entertained in between the larger projects! As always, it's so relaxing to watch you work!👍🏼🤙🏼
Thanks so much! :)
Km.mmomo.m.o i
I’m a 63 year old woman and I absolutely love watching your restorations.
You sound like my kind of gal!!
I love these smaller projects. But to tell the truth, my favorite parts of any of your projects are vapor blasting and your paint talents. Wztching you mix your paints and the seeing the lovely outcome is like magic to me.
Holy moly that water blaster is to die for! And I don't know about others but I never tire of watching you plate stuff!
I’ve just found a Kismet duplex master in my Dad’s shed. It’s the bigger one with the flat coil spring.
Your resto’s are inspiring, well done Sir.
Finally someone not wanting to save the 'patina'. I love the look of a new paint job. Liking the short video too. Reminds me of when the channel first started.
I admit I never thought I'd be enthralled by a foot pump restoration....only on RRC! Thanks 🙂
Thank you so much, Glad you enjoyed it :)

Another quality video! It's always a good morning when an RRC video pops up in my feed 👍🇦🇺
Lovely job dude thanks. I love that you weren't tempted to polish the brass, the vapour blasted finish looks great!
Thank you for watching :) Yeah I love the vapour blasted finish it looks good on camera but im real life the quality of the finish it leaves is unreal!

It's always a good week when there is a new RRC restauration
You're too kind :)
Yay, another back to basic project - I love it! Great restoration mate! 👍👍👍
Thanks buddy that mean a lot :)
I never thought that blade would ever look that good
8:54 Congratulations for the new tool !!!
Nice restoration , colleague. Keep going to recording videos and keep growing your channel . Perfect content and all . Support 👍🔥💪
The vapor blasting fascinates me everytime. Looks awesome.👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Love the little projects in between !
Happy you've gone ahead restoring stuff and uploading videos 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you :)
Don't throw away that tube! That has still live in it! I mean, literally, something is living in that...
I like the 'small' projects! Great job on this pump!
Thank you, Glad you enjoyed it :)
Awesome finish, as always. The perfect foot pump to accompany you on your Ducati track-days. Thank you for sharing, all the best to you.
Thank you for watching :)
Whether it's a 10+ episode epic or an 18 minute quickie, all your videos are amazing, informative and entertaining! Keep it up and bring on the next project! 👍
Great video as always. I have to be honest when I first read the description I thought it said baby food pump, I'm glad I was wrong.
Love watching these videos so calming and satisfying to see them being done! , look forward to the next one every time! Keep up the great work!
Wow!! I have very fond memories of losing parts of my shin using one of these, to pump up my bicycle tyres as a youngster. Great work!!
Hard work and beautiful new look. 👌👌👌
Thank you :)

Awesome as always, I like you just “happen to have a” new seal in your supply’s lol.

In restoration 'patina' is just another word for lazy!!! 🤣🤣 This is why I love your channel.. You do it RIGHT!!!
Amazing job my friend congratulations
Could you please make the loud machines quieter in future videos? Thank you, love your work.
Cheeky glimpse of the face! Love the extended resto. You should get a powder coating setup.
Haha yeah you know i like to tease you guys with my anonymity lol. A powder coating set up is on my list of toys to get right after the lathe and possibly a milling machine oh and maybe a 3d printer too lol
Lovely job yet again 👍
Thank you :)

Lovely as always!! You should make an how to zinc plate video😃

Looks great, well done.

I would be finding every excuse to use that vapor blaster. Always impressed by that thing.
Haha I do, Its any excuse to fire it up lol
Keep on posting. Great videos
Thanks, will do!
A very nice Job Love it next very good Video done ⭐🌹👍
Otra vez con vida! Muy bueno!
Always good quality video's keep them coming
Everytime I hear the soundtrack at the beginning, I think of the Mars Rover. Lol this is what they used on their videos. Anyway, I'm ready to see what you did with this
As usual, impecável!
I'm craving to start electroplating.
At 11:55 I think it's the first I see a head. 🤔😉
Keep up the good work 💪
love to watch you work
Thank you :)
Great job as usual! Hopefully the views will pick up on the shorter format! All the best of luck, keep up the great work!! Will be watching!
Thank you, I hope so too :)
Nice work as always
Thank you! Cheers!
Masters degree in cinematography or just a damn good natural?
You're too kind :)
Very well done thank you 🙏
Thank you too!
Stunning work as ever! Missed the voiceover a bit though. Anyway, keep on rocking!
Thank you glad you liked it. The narration will be returning soon ;)
Love your work 👍
Thank you so much 😀
Very satisfying.
Great stuff!! Looking brand new. You probably do not have the equipment to do so, but I would recommend to powdercoat this, for I think it will last a lot longer with this foot operated pump? But defenitely liking the endresult! 👌
Thank you glad you liked it. A powder coating set up is on my list of toys i want :)
Hello, what happened to the paint at 15 min 26 secondes? It always a pleasure and relaxing to see your videos. Thx for sharing. Regards
Профессионал 👍🔥
Great restoration…
Thank you :)
Outstanding!
Thank you! Cheers!
Always a pleasure to watch your restoration work, thanks !
May I suggest you to replace the scrolling text by some static one ? I find it very long and difficult to read (but maybe I'm the only one).
Thank you glad you enjoyed it. Yeah i don't plan on using scrolling text much more as i have had comments from a few people who find it hard to read.
Add a pressure gauge!
(PS I love these between the motorcycle and car projects)
nice job again pal
keep them coming
Thanks, will do buddy :)
It’s a miracle - the vapour blaster even took the primer overspray off his blue gloves! 😂
What can I say its just a miraculous machine haha
I like it when they don't do a circus carving with a brush and I don't know what so many things, it's better that way, direct without so many laps👍
This got me pumped for the day.
sorry
Was there a bit of paint peel at 15:36 when you were fitting the triangular yellow piece? I have a part-restored Dunlop Standard. What fabulous pumps they were compared to the rubbish sold by all the major brands now
Very nice job
Thank you :)
I have a big lathe looking for a new home. And it could do with a restoration!
how do you determine when to use the water blaster vs the sand blaster?
Mr RRC. Just curious - what generally happens to the items that you restore? Do you sell them on? Im also curious if you get paid to restore things or do you buy them on ebay, restore them and sell them on?

(+pleasing giggles @11:54 with part of your face OMG it is getting close to a hard peepee here RRC)
Thank you so much :)
Vapor blasting takes the tarnishing off of brass. I did not know this.
Beautiful 😍
Thank you! 😊
