Hey Guys, As you have probably noticed already i have updated the channel name and logo. The channel is no longer Really Random Channel it is now RRC Restoration. Just incase you were wondering why the water marks in the video still say Really Random Channel. Enjoy.
Who would of thought that the original could ever look like this...it’s truly a work of art 🖼 Green is my favorite color and this paint 🎨 is absolutely gorgeous! Brilliant craftsmanship as always! 👍🏻❤️😊🛠
One thing I really like about your videos is how neat and organized you are during disassembly. Other videos I've watch they just tear everything apart and it seems like everything is all jumbled together. That and the fact that even during the work you still take the time to keep your workspace clean. Keep it up!
I really appreciate the fact that you actually, use paint with hardener in these Restorations. Really will make them last a long time. That's what I do when I paint any of my restoration stuff. Just comes out better. Great video!
If it's a urethane with isocyanate, make sure you have the correct respirator and that it is working properly. I injured my lungs with a brief exposure wearing a respirator with bad cartridges. That stuff is super toxic.
@@TheLoxxxton Knives are ground to an edge on the stone through the bottom area, and the burr is remove on the top Two little wheels. My local Butcher uses a similar piece of kit. When I was a Chef many years ago, a man used to come every Two weeks, with an ancient pedal powered version in the back of His van. He used to do a fine job with my lovely Sabatier blades. Just needed to keep them in nice shape with my steel for a week or two, until He popped in again. I still use the same knives today after 30 years. But alas they are nowhere near as well maintained anymore.
13:00 Seeing the word 'Red' painted gold with a green background throws my hominid brain for a loop. The hand painted reliefs are always my favorite part.
Hi. that wood is made of Pitch pine (pino tea). A beautiful wood to the vists and to work with it. This particular one was cut from an old tree that grew naturally and very slowly, that is why veins are so fine and together. That wood is no longer available. The current trees are cultivated with rapid growth. Their veins are thick and separated. Thanks for keeping it original. Excellent work, real pleasure to see it. Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina. And apologies for the Google translator.
@@mudgem3742 , It's possible. I think the willow wood is not too hard and it is unlikely that it has been able to preserve such good conditions, after so many years of use. Of course that happens in my country, where that wood was not used for this type of work. In a different country there could be a more resistant willow wood.
@@SergioRodriguezAr true. The willow I was referring to was the willow they use for cricket bats. I've ordered it from England and other places, so I have certainly seen a few different types :-)
@@SergioRodriguezAr Did some checking- seems that the wood was not original- there are many of them with different types of wood attached- there was an earlier polisher made of oak rather than metal for the drum.
I am from Brazil. To save time, when painting letters I use cigarret filter enbebed in Paint in vertical position. The result is perfect. Best regards.
This is a beautiful restoration. I love the touch of Gold flake in the Green. And I think you were quite right in using the old wooden base plate. A lovely piece of work Brother. Peace.
Another awesome job!!. makes me want to learn how to paint, but if the things I wanted to paint turned out that nice, I would never use them! Looking forward to more projects.
Nice job restoring it. Excellent color choice on the paint. I'm glad I read your description, during watching it, I thought you had chromed the parts, not galvanized them as your description clarified. I was surprised you didn't replace the felt pads inside, if that's what they are. I would've presumed they're too worn and the reason it was shelved. I don't think you'll be able to buy them, but who knows. They might be easily made. Regardless, it came out sweet. Thanks for sharing. As for a video of like to see.. one on your galvanizing process and set up. You seen to know what you're doing, it's always nice to hear from the guy that do. Cheers...
Hi, Thank you for leaving a comment. I would have loved to replace the pads but there seems to be very little in the way of information about these machines let alone spare parts so im afraid the old ones are here to stay. they dont seem in too bad a condition though. Thanks for watching :)
Another nice job. The wood looks like deal (pine) to me. And I think my mother’s food mincer was made by Spong. It certainly had some parts similar to this device. Les
Another quality restoration, well done. For a long time, I thought you were based in the states but clearly by the power outlet you are in the UK. I would love to come and visit to see all the wonderful projects in person one day.
I have watched your videos and they are of interesting content. As a suggestion, you could incorporate texts about each step of the restorations, such as: description of each step, materials that you are using. These videos are really illustrative and can be very useful for those who want to make this type of project. Thanks for sharing. All the best.
love what you have going here, but id love it if you would mention the solutions (like all of the liquids in the plastic tubs) and their purposes so people (and I, haha) can understand what they are for. Other than that, love the channel and great vid. Keep it up! Cheers
The flat board is probably only pine, maybe old Norwegian Spruce, but it could be any pine from just what I can see on the vid. A key to telling for sure is the smell of it when you sand it. Pine has it's own scent, and it varies slightly from type to type and even where it grew. nice straight grain on it is all I can really tell from a vid, but having worked everywhere from logging to lumber mills and lumber sales, old growh Norwegian (could be grown many places, Norwegian is part of the name) pine.
The top of that is designed to sharpen a blade not stepping on toes but painting those round blades will make it a bit harder to sharpen a blade evenly but love the color setup especially the extra gold Definetly worth it
Hey, Thank you for your comment. You would think so. I will test that in my upcoming demo video of it one knife will be polished without polishing compound and the next one will use a compound and we can see what the difference is ;)
Fantastic job, love that colour choice too...And thank you for including the printing process and in which order the different primers and paints are applied, in your next video(s) can you also include more info on the plating process you use?
Other commenters have probably mentioned it several times already, but the base wood looks to me like old growth pine. To find replacement wood would require salvaging some from an old house or barn.
Great restoration! Your editing is excellent and the videos are all the better for not having annoying music over them, would you consider narrating your videos with step by step information? Thanks for the uploads and look forward to more in the future.
You always need an etch primer if painting onto any bare metal regardless of how its been prepped. Regular paints and primers will eventually lose there adhesion and peel up but with etch primer this doesn't happen as the primer is physically bonded to the surface ;) ( 15 years of professional painting experience )
Awesome job! Like all of you did! In answer to your question about the kind of wood of the base i think could be Ash, the grain looks like olds Fender Guitars made un 70's and them ware made with Ash. Regards from Argentina and continue with this excelents restorations.
Yeah i noticed it. I painted over it because as soon as i run a knife though it the paint will instantly be burned off the edge and wont hinder the performance of the sharpener ;)
Not a stupid question at all, Its a very good question :) The reason for the 2 primers is that the first one is an etching primer that contains an acid the physically etches itself onto the metal leaving a super grippy surface for the 2k primer to stick to. If you dont etch bare metal with the correct primer the paint wont stick properly and will start flaking off in a matter of months.

LOVE that you kept the old wood base.
Thank you, I think it was the correct decision as well :)
Excellent restoration, that Kryptonite Green really sings, looked amazing.
Fantastic colours.
Yeah Kryptonite is such a nice colour especially in person :) Thank you for your comment.

Awesome paint job. Nothing beats the look of painted raised letters. Also that Kryptonite green is sick!
Yeah the colour is epic especially in person. Thanks for the comment :)
Dang I was hoping you’d try it out on a knife.
I would have but i didnt have any grotty old knives lying around unfortunately :(
@@RRCRestoration I still can't understand how it actually works though! Where do the knives actually go?? And yes I'm a bit thick lol

@@KennethNicholson1972 thanks for that so is the abrasive that foam/fibre looking pad?
@@TheLoxxxton the side has space for knives mate .
How about a demonstration of the tool in use?
Hey, yeah i plan to make a quick video of it in action when i can find a suitably filthy knife to use it on ;)
PLease do it @@RRCRestoration
That's what she said.

Amazing patience and never shaking even, amazing, turned out beautiful

Love the color.. the gold really goes nice with the metallic green. Good job.
Thank you. They really do go well with each other :)

Parece ser uma boa idéia. Or he could use a marker pen, which is very much the same.
Good idea
Uma boa ideia pro uso consciente do cigarro kkkk
Vou copiar sua idea, preciso pintar um prato de toca disco. Tem muitos detalhes. Valeu.
Gracias por el dato, saludos desde Ecuador.
Absolutely stunning restoration. 👍👍👍
This is a beautiful restoration. I love the touch of Gold flake in the Green. And I think you were quite right in using the old wooden base plate. A lovely piece of work Brother. Peace.
Thank you very much for your kind comment :)
The front emblem with the red seal looks awesome. Great work man.
Thank you very much :)
Mercedes 175 Kryptonite Green with extra gold, just beautiful! and as always, Excellent work
Thank you very much :)
Remember back in the day when things were build to last forever?? Not anymore 😞😞 amazing job mate.
Yup everything is made to be disposable these days very unfortunately :( Thanks for the comment.
A beautiful machine. Well done sir!
Thank you very much :)
You did a fabulous job. This is a beautiful piece. Congratulations
Thank you :)
Beautiful job as ever. May you never be without a polished knife again.
Thank you very much :) I will be making a small follow up video to show it working when i can find a suitably grotty knife ;)
Wow, that turned out fantastic. Nicely done
Thank you very much :)
Another awesome job!!. makes me want to learn how to paint, but if the things I wanted to paint turned out that nice, I would never use them! Looking forward to more projects.
Hey, Thank you for your comment :) More projects on the way soon ;)
That paint is really lovely, it reminds me of those green shiny beetles
belting job that,,another cracking little restoration
Thank you im glad you enjoyed it :)

People upload YOUR work as their own? OMG. The nerve! I love the colors of the polisher!
Yep, Just about every day another one if reported to me, Its a constant battle that really sours the TH-cam experience :(.
Well done. Very nice restoration. Dont stop. Conglatulations
Thank you :) The next video is already being worked on ;)
Beautiful!!! Great work as usual brother!!
Thank you :)
nice to be back to the random stuff then get the odd big thing here and there keeps it interesting i like it.
Yeah i agree its nice to get back to basics for a little while before starting on the next big project. Im very glad your enjoying the channel :)
Another nice job. The wood looks like deal (pine) to me. And I think my mother’s food mincer was made by Spong. It certainly had some parts similar to this device. Les
Hey, Thanks very much for commenting. Pine would make sense as its cheap wood. i know nothing about wood im more at home with metal and paint haha.
Another quality restoration, well done. For a long time, I thought you were based in the states but clearly by the power outlet you are in the UK. I would love to come and visit to see all the wonderful projects in person one day.
Thank you very much :)
Another nice job, and nice to see spanner’s being used
Thank you :)
Kryptonite green... what a great colour.
Yeah its awesome especially in person under direct sunlight :)
Awesome color!! I want to paint a guitar that same color.
Some things you restore, some things you don't. This is a don't. It's a display piece, clean it and rack it. The patina looks awesome.
Beautiful job!! The wood liked like yellow pine to me
Another vote for pine ;) Thanks for the comment :)
Love the color. A very nice restoration
Another stunning video
Thank you :)
Damn, this is the best retoration i ever seen befor. Please make a nother bike !
Thank you :)
I love to see attention to detail
Thank you :)
What a great company name. Spong.
Its definitely memorable
I can't wait to call someone a Spong. Or maybe ask a girl if she wants to Spong.

IT WAS BEAUTIFUL THE KNIFE GRINDER DOES NOT LOOK LIKE IT HAS BEEN RESTORED IT HAS BEEN NEW AGAIN
Thank you for your kind comment :)
This is the sort of machine that was built to last, not like the crap they put out now, well done
Thats is an excellent job
Thank you :)
I concur that the base is made of pine.
Thanks for a great video; could you tell us what is in the different baths you use for metal?
Excellent work, greetings from italy.
Thank you very much :)
Very nice! That wood looks old yellow pine to me.
So satisfying to watch
Glad you like it :)
Lovely random work!
Thank you :)
I like to use 2K lacquer too, it makes the paint pop just like in this restoration. Nice job bud.
The colour so nice !
The board looks like Douglas Fir, or rift sawn pine. Beautiful restoration!
Thanks for leaving a comment :)
Top Notch Quality Work !
Thank you very much :)
I found it really satisfying ❤
Glad you liked it :)
Well done looks amazing
Thank you :)
Awesome work👍👍😱
Thank you :)
Very nice, i like this chanel and i admire the qualities of this man very much!
That Kryptonite Green is just perfect
Thank you :)

lovely bit of work, I wish you had demonstrated it, doing its job.those old things were made to last, nowadays, they have planned obsolescence.
The way you editted this vid was just....Super 10/10 Make me laugh again lol As always, loved the restoration!
Im very glad you enjoyed it :)
Stunning work!!
Thank you very much:)
That's probably the best restoration I've ever seen. I really enjoyed that, and the finished article oozed class. Nice one!
Thank you very much :)
Don't leave us hanging,demo time.nice job mate.
It came out great - really nice job!
Thanks very much :)
I always love to see a 'proper` plug and socket with 240volts on you tube thanks
Glad you liked it :)
Nice job as always. Being a buffing wheel, you would think, compound is to be used with it.
Hey, Thank you for your comment. You would think so. I will test that in my upcoming demo video of it one knife will be polished without polishing compound and the next one will use a compound and we can see what the difference is ;)
The wood is pine, love the Kryptonite green.
tremendo,laborioso y paciente trabajo de restauracion,numero 1

Im glad you enjoyed the video. I will include more info in my next plating video as there seem to be a lot of interest in it.
Nice restoration
Also nice to see someone else based in the UK
Nice video as always but what happen to the hand crank restoration part?
Other commenters have probably mentioned it several times already, but the base wood looks to me like old growth pine. To find replacement wood would require salvaging some from an old house or barn.
Great restoration! Your editing is excellent and the videos are all the better for not having annoying music over them, would you consider narrating your videos with step by step information? Thanks for the uploads and look forward to more in the future.
Hey, Thanks for your kind comment :) . There are plenty more restorations to come in the future and i may narrate some of then ;)
Do you need etching primer if it's been blasted?

Regular paints and primers will eventually lose there adhesion and peel up but with etch primer this doesn't happen as the primer is physically bonded to the surface ;) ( 15 years of professional painting experience )

Very nice work on this project, you took a lot of time and it paid off. Only, I would like to have seen the thing work. A knife polisher?
Excellent job!
Thank you :)
Did you notice that on the top of the polisher is a sharpening device ? I noticed that you painted that too (I mean the 2 wheels)
You're supposed to pull the knife on thodr 2 wheels and the blade gets slightly ground
Yeah i noticed it. I painted over it because as soon as i run a knife though it the paint will instantly be burned off the edge and wont hinder the performance of the sharpener ;)
Wonderful job, I did find your channel randomly and count me in as a new Sub.
Thank you, Your comment and sub are very much appreciated :)
this may seem a stupid question but why do you use 2 different primers ??
Not a stupid question at all, Its a very good question :) The reason for the 2 primers is that the first one is an etching primer that contains an acid the physically etches itself onto the metal leaving a super grippy surface for the 2k primer to stick to. If you dont etch bare metal with the correct primer the paint wont stick properly and will start flaking off in a matter of months.
can you please describe the process you are plating metal parts! it looks really interesting!!!!
One of your best. I'm not good with chemicals or coatings, was that nickel or silver plating you used on the spring and threaded rod?
Thanks :) The plating process was zinc.
Beautiful!!!❤
The wood looks like pine!
Another vote for pine :)
