This guy bravely tackles tasks that most people wouldn’t touch. Plus his tools and equipment are fascinating and he has the skill to use them. The finished product is always like new. I enjoy watching his videos. I find them entertaining. My wife thinks I am strange for watching them.
I just turned 50 , so these toys were not around when l was a kid , l am so amazed at the quality and the construction of these toys. Thank you for bringing them back to life
@@rhondaflynn3 your lucky ... l had two older sisters... Every garage sale, flea market , the old Tonka trucks/ Budd L and Corgi toys are crazy expensive, no matter how poor the condition is.
I can't state just how relaxing these videos are, I'm a nurse and things have been a bit difficult lately but watching these restorations just help take me out of my bad place, they are so calming, I usually fall asleep half way through and have to go back to the last bit I can remember to see how it turned out. Last week it took me three goes to see how the P35 plane restoration from a year ago ended up because I kept drifting off, so thank you for your work.
I would imagine that a sale of a toy restoration like this would have to sell for a price the original manufacturers could never even imagine. What an unbelievable amount of work to restore this one. Thanks for a great video.
Невероятно!!! Такую кучку металлолома вернуть к жизни, превратив её в прекрасную игрушку-мечту любого взрослого, не говоря уже про мальчишек! Chip, you are gineous! 🌟❄️🎄✨👍
Chip: I can’t say enough. This was the most involved restoration, I believe, I have ever seen. The amount of tools and patience were amazing. Magnificent! Unbelievable! Carol from California
Watching the rust and damaged paint disappear in the sandblasting process is so satisfying. Admit it, it's one of the reasons you watch this kind of videos.
Obviously someone was paying attention during metal shop.... Electronics class... Math class... Welding class... Chemistry class... True craftsmanship.
I am amazed at your craftsmanship in making the parts you needed. You sir are a miracle worker, the finished toy is beautiful, better then the original.
A once in a lifetime event.................... Seeing Santa in his toy restoration workshop, making the magic happen, right in front of our eyes!!!!! 💖💖💖💖
Another amazing restoration sir. You have my complete respect. Your work brings back childhood memories of us oldies when we were kids. The injection mold fabrication for the plastic parts was hypnotic. I was wondering how replacement parts are made for restoration projects, and now I know. I have experience using RTV (silicone) molds, and to prevent air entrapment issues, I would suggest using a disposable fine tip irrigation syringe to fill the leg areas. With the syringe tip at the bottom of the mold, start filling as you pull the syringe to the top of the leg, then put the mold together and fill the rest. Hope that helps and thank you for keeping the past alive!
So many processes, so much effort, so much satisfaction. Thank you! One tip I use for mold making is to draw a vacuum with my vacuum chamber. It draws out any remaining air in the mold. As there is a good head of resin in the center well, the level of the resin drops slightly as it continues to fill the spindly bits like the legs and tail and head.
This is such a fun channel! I have been subscribed for a few months and have seen many toys that my son had and one that I had as a little girl. The tiny mint green stove hat you did. This one brought back a memory from 68 years ago. When I was 6 years old, a truck similar to this came down our street in Buffalo New York and offered rides for 5 cents. Every kid on the block saved their pennies for the day that carousel came. I thank you for that.
By far one of the most captivating restoration video I've seen. Truly incredible approach in craftsmanship and dedication. And quite frankly, a toy could be just a pile of rust and Chip would make it look like new.
Pull a vacuum on the models so to suck the material thru the model. It just makes sure the model is filled and no bubbles. Keep pulling a vacuum the way you did before,, just also when you are filling the mold too! Great work man!.
The range of tools and techniques used in this restoration was very impressive -- from woodworking to CNC machines to various types of moulding. I really enjoy these long and challenging restorations. Thank-you and Happy New Year!
This is totally fascinating to me to see these old Tonka trucks being brought to life. You have no idea how much those trucks meant to me as a kid. We are talking many house in my knees playing with these. They defined my childhood and we’re my escape. Thank you for your incredible work!!!!
Amazing work! I really couldn’t believe the toy you started with could be salvaged, but you did it! With the resin, I’m certainly no expert, but from other artists I’ve seen I think a few tweaks to the mold would help your casts come out cleaner. First, you want each half of the silicone mold to really latch together, both to make sure things line up exactly and to keep the halves tight enough that you don’t get the resin leaking out. When you poured the first half of the silicone, had you added Legos or something to create perforations (for lack of a better term) and then removed them before pouring the second half, you would automatically create interlocking nubs of silicone to help hold the pieces together. Also, I’m not sure whether you’re using a mold release gel on the silicone, but that would also help the resin release cleanly after curing. I’m not sure if I explained that very clearly, but I hope it’s helpful!
Seeing these toys come back to life makes me look back fondly on my childhood, but the greatest satisfaction I get is seeing the level of workmanship you put into these things. Just. Plain. Amazing. Thank you.
I had no idea there were so many replacement parts available for these old toys, many of which I can remember playing with when I was a youngster. I bought my youngest son a complete set of the "metal" Tonka" equipment back in 92, Truck, Dozer, Road Grader, Backhoe, and End Loader. He took such good care of them, when he finally outgrew them I put them in the ceiling in the garage and they still look new. Love these restorations, brings back memories of good times. You do a fantastic job.
THANK YOU! I love this one the most. Seeing it in your collection gave me a sense of deja vu. It turns out that one of my older brothers had this truck. Being a horse lover, I remember the horses most! It's amazing what you can do!
Before I started watching your toy restoration videos. I had no idea how much work, and equipment it actually took, to do these incredible restores. It's a testament to how good you really are, to be able to have a toy, many decades old, look like it came out of the factory, cheers! ❤
Awesome video! All the resources including the “vintage 3D printer”. The tear down of the carousel was a blood pressure raiser for me but the rebuilding of it made of for it!
Bell needs a rubber washer between the mount stud and the bell so when the strikers hit you get the distinctive ding, not thud 🙂 Amazing work Chip, you are a master at this!
You are the best toy restorer I ever saw. It's good to see that you have invested in the right tools to do almost anything. I like to look over your collection at the end of every video. It's amazing to think that the same details were used in each one. Very Good!!
I absolutely love this. I like that you don't talk during the process. It is so soothing to just watch. If you have grandchildren, they are the luckiest around. I can just hear them: "Mommy, can we go to Grandpa's today? I want to play with his trucks!" As far as I know, they don't make these kind of toys any longer. And that is so sad.
Wow Chip I am having trouble finding the right superlatives to describe what I just saw. You sure brought this one back from the great beyond. Excellent job and excellent videography sharing this restore with us. Thanks!!!!
I'm an RC airplane and Tank Hobbyist, Boy I Wish I had the Tools you have. BLESS YOU, FOR YOU ARE AN ARTIST. LOVE YOUR WORK AND CRAFTSMANSHIP. HOPE YOU'RE MAKING SOME SALES 👍
hi chip, i have done casting with metal and think having a pour/vent tube going to each leg and the tail and pour upside down air won't be trapped. the viscosity is what was the problem. fantastic overall and i reaally enjoy all your restorations. Ole Frank
Finally someone who really looks like he is restoring something. Not like the lot of channels where the items look destroyed on purpose only to rebuild them to make money from the watchers.
This was ...... I'm out of superlatives. I'm in total awe. Watched every second of this, ignoring all distractions. You, Sir, are AMAZING. Thank you for this Christmas gift. Many happy wishes to you and yours. And Long Live The Cyclopeep!
I'd come work for you. You're fortunate to have all these tools and supplies and doing this heartfelt good work with them. The Misfit Toys are smiling their approval.
I HAD NO IDEA Buddy-L made such a vehicle as this Merry-Go-Round Truck. Your restoration is impeccable; regardless of the rear tires//wheels that couldn't be salvaged. No-doubt, you'll eventually come across a good set & restore them for this very rare gem. In my respectful opinion, this is the most interesting restoration video you've ever presented. Honestly, this is the most captivating restorations of a Buddy-L//Tonka//Nylint I've ever seen. THANKS & ALL THE BEST in 2022!!!! Ben
This is my third time trying to watch this video. I keep falling asleep. It's such an impressive and involved restoration but I just CANT STAY AWAKE through all the nice sounds.
Помоему это самая трудно-затратная реставрация на данный момент из всей серии мастера и за кропотливость работы и за котика однозначно лайк красивая работа 👍👍👍
I heard you are also a neurosurgeon, a rocket scientist, and a gourmet chef, all in your spare time. Is there anything you DON'T do? So impressive, and done with such joy and love!
As a rule, don’t use rubber bands to hold together flexible silicone molds. Certainly not ones with as much tension as you had there. All you want to do is press the two halves of the mold together, but rubber bands apply forces from all around the “ring” made by the band. This can make each half of the silicone mold bow out in the center, and give excessive flashing like you had there. Just like with your injection molding machine, you want to clamp the mold halves together firmly but without distorting them. As for the resin not getting into the horses legs, part of that is mold design and gating, part of that is using too thick of a resin (and making it thicker with powders instead of thinner with liquid dyes), and not putting the mold in a vacuum to pull the air pockets out.
In my opinion, the issue that caused the horses to not mold as well as they should have is the use of rubber bands. Another means of holding the two-piece mold together needs to be used. Also...once the 2 halves are joined...I would tap it a few times on ALL 4 SIDES to help the resin "settle" in those hard-to-reach areas; REGARDLESS of what shape is being molded. Still, the legs & hoofs of these little horses would be very difficult to do well. I honestly don't believe the viscosity of the resin used to mold the horses was a factor causing the poor quality results. But it's important to consider this in all molding efforts. Respectfully, Ben
@@duygukayhanisaskank4915 My thinking is, the thinner the viscocity of the resin, the easier it is for the trapped air down in the bottom of those legs to get out. Since he didn’t use the vacuum, you only have the pressure of the air at atmosphere to “push” up through the resin. Thinner would make that easier, in the same way that a bubble of air rises faster through a soda than it does through molasses. And keep in mind that thinner resins also have less surface tension, and the air trapped in the bottom needs to overcome the surface tension of the incoming resin in order to even begin to push past it.
@@LizMatzelle I agree that a "thinner" resin would easily fill the voids in the mold. But the end result would (most likely) yield a poor quality reproduction. In this case, the original...the horse...had thin features in the legs & hoofs. The quality of the mold & the viscosity of the resin is not the main issue. It is the "thin" features of the legs & hoofs of the horse used to create the mold. To maintain a quality reproduction, the resin must be "somewhat" thick. As you likely know, there is a fine line between making the resin mixture too thin or too thick...in such reproductions. Respectfully, Ben
@@duygukayhanisaskank4915 I have never seen data that says that a thin resin cannot dry as hard and strong as a thick resin. Keep in mind I am NOT talking about altering the mixing ratios of a given resin, I am talking about choosing a resin that is designed to be a lower viscocity when properly mixed. As an example, TotalBoat MakerPoxy has a mixed viscocity of 3,500cP and a cured tensile strength of 5,400psi. TotalBoat TableTop Epoxy has a mixed viscocity of 3,500cP (exactly the same) and a cured tensil strength of 7,400psi. Both very thick, high viscocity resins, super wide spread in terms of strength. To compare to a thinner viscocity resin, TotalBoat High Performance epoxy has a mixed viscocity of 600cP and a cured tensile strength of 7,300psi, effectively the same strength as tabletop but a MUCH thinner viscocity resin. It’s about choosing the right resin for the project, both in terms of viscocity AND strength, but you can find any combination of particulars you are looking for.
Great Christmas gift… A Chip Channel video I wasn’t expecting this weekend! Edit: I just finished this video. Actually longer than some old classic movies, but I wasn’t at all bored! I have gotten to the point where I try to guess how you are going to repair or recreate the unique details of each toy. I’m probably the last person to ask, but I assume duplicating the horses would be easier on a 3-D printer, which are not yet in everyone’s budget to purchase. Otherwise, I have no idea! 😉. Thank you for all the quality entertainment this year, Chip. Happy New Year! 👍👍👍 ~ John
New viewer here. I found your channel a few days ago and I'm fascinated. There's something eerily comforting about watching them over a cup of coffee. Your knowledge of plastics, metals, computer aided design and paints has me intrigued. Then, there's your bottomless kit of toys (tools); plastic injection molders, lathes, stone grinders and wire-wheels, drill-presses, emery cloths/sandpapers, sand-blasters, arc-welders and the list goes on and on, and don't get me started on the paints (LOL). Your talents in these areas is nothing less than amazing. I'm guessing (at the very least) a machinist's background, maybe some body-shop experience and graphic design work. You're an amazingly talented person. I remember a lot of the toys you restore from my own childhood. Even some from the 30s & 40s were still around when I was a wee lad and could be found at garage or rummage sales. I'm hooked, already. ;-) Peace
One of he main reasons I follow your channel is because i really enjoy of your attention to details and the fact that you try to use replacements as less as possible, restoring and even building any necessary part. This was IMHO your best restoration so far, loved it!
That was astounding! You really had to work for that one, wow! As for the horses, you might try pouring each half of the mold separately, lying on their sides, then joining the two halves together. You'd probably have to sand the middle side of each half a little to make them perfectly flat for joining, but it should work... Thanks for this blood, sweat, and tears episode! You did a stellar job, as usual... P.S. I love the vintage 3D printer!
AWESOME "RESTO" Chip!! Loved your work in making the molds, to re-create the various parts!! Even though most of the horses didn't turn out right for ya, I still enjoyed, & commend your efforts VERY MUCH!!! From the get - go, I was SUPER ANXIOUS to see how you were going to restore and/or rebuild, that carousel!! BEAUTIFUL JOB!!! 🙂😗 Watching great restoration videos like this one, makes me wish and hope, that just once, (at my current age of 55), I might get the chance to try my hand at a project like this one, and others that I've watched you do over the past year and a half, or so!! 🙂 I know I possess much of the required skills that it takes, to successfully do projects like this, but I just need the $$$, most of the equipment & supplies, plus a project or two to restore! 🙂 Not to mention a small building to use as shop, to do this work in!! LOL!! 😊 Oh well, hopefully some day before I get much older, and grayer!! LOL!!! 🙂 Until then, I will continue to watch and learn from your videos, and several others, out there in "TH-cam Land!!" 😊 Keep up the FANTASTIC work, Chip, & I'll keep watching!! Your Faithful Viewer in Abilene, TX; Ron H.
Total Awesomeness Chip. One of your best, keep them coming. When you were setting in a screw and a tiny bit of red paint developed a splinter I found myself blowing wind at it, sorry, I was concentrating so much into helping, lolol. Love your work and dedication, you are awesome too. 👌👍👏😉🏅🏆
Absolute masterpiece. The amount of skil and patience is incredible. Love that the video is super long! Got to enjoy is sereval times before i finished it.
All I have to say is me and my husband have been watching almost every one of your videos and I will tell you we are so addicted to your channel your work is impeccable and I am so glad I stumbled upon your channel just by chance and I've been telling all my friends about what an incredible channel you have you are definitely my favorite channel on all of TH-cam you really are a paragon!.... Thank you so much for sharing your videos with us!.... And I hope you get 40 million subscribers just for the work that you do ...thank you so much!...Christina P.
thank you for sharing this craftsmanship. It is thoroughly enjoyable to watch restorations. Watching sandblasting is so soothing. What a beautiful kitty.
And once again, you upped the ante! Beautiful!! I know many waited quite a while for this one--and you didn't disappoint! I figured it had to be based on a real vehicle, and one of the comments confirmed that. Compliments to you!!
YEAH!!!!!!! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!!!!! I've been waiting for you to do this one. It came out so well! What a fabulous job you did. It reminds me of when I was a little girl, and rode on one of these at some corner carnival. It was such fun! Thanks for bringing back such a wonderful childhood memory. You truly are a master at your craft. Happy and healthy 2022!

I was thinking a PETG or ABS filament for strength
3D-print them - or just mill them from aluminum, rather than mill aluminum molds for one-off injection molding.

As for the resin not getting into the horses legs, part of that is mold design and gating, part of that is using too thick of a resin (and making it thicker with powders instead of thinner with liquid dyes), and not putting the mold in a vacuum to pull the air pockets out.
In my opinion, the issue that caused the horses to not mold as well as they should have
is the use of rubber bands. Another means of holding the two-piece mold together needs
to be used. Also...once the 2 halves are joined...I would tap it a few times on ALL 4 SIDES to help the resin "settle" in those hard-to-reach areas; REGARDLESS of what shape is being molded. Still, the legs & hoofs of these little horses would be very difficult to do well.
I honestly don't believe the viscosity of the resin used to mold the horses was a factor causing the poor quality results. But it's important to consider this in all molding efforts. Respectfully,
Ben
@@duygukayhanisaskank4915 My thinking is, the thinner the viscocity of the resin, the easier it is for the trapped air down in the bottom of those legs to get out. Since he didn’t use the vacuum, you only have the pressure of the air at atmosphere to “push” up through the resin. Thinner would make that easier, in the same way that a bubble of air rises faster through a soda than it does through molasses. And keep in mind that thinner resins also have less surface tension, and the air trapped in the bottom needs to overcome the surface tension of the incoming resin in order to even begin to push past it.
@@LizMatzelle I agree that a "thinner" resin would easily fill the voids in the mold.
But the end result would (most likely) yield a poor quality reproduction.
In this case, the original...the horse...had thin features in the legs & hoofs.
The quality of the mold & the viscosity of the resin is not the main issue. It is
the "thin" features of the legs & hoofs of the horse used to create the mold.
To maintain a quality reproduction, the resin must be "somewhat" thick.
As you likely know, there is a fine line between making the resin mixture too thin or
too thick...in such reproductions.
Respectfully,
Ben
@@duygukayhanisaskank4915 I have never seen data that says that a thin resin cannot dry as hard and strong as a thick resin. Keep in mind I am NOT talking about altering the mixing ratios of a given resin, I am talking about choosing a resin that is designed to be a lower viscocity when properly mixed. As an example, TotalBoat MakerPoxy has a mixed viscocity of 3,500cP and a cured tensile strength of 5,400psi. TotalBoat TableTop Epoxy has a mixed viscocity of 3,500cP (exactly the same) and a cured tensil strength of 7,400psi. Both very thick, high viscocity resins, super wide spread in terms of strength. To compare to a thinner viscocity resin, TotalBoat High Performance epoxy has a mixed viscocity of 600cP and a cured tensile strength of 7,300psi, effectively the same strength as tabletop but a MUCH thinner viscocity resin. It’s about choosing the right resin for the project, both in terms of viscocity AND strength, but you can find any combination of particulars you are looking for.
@@LizMatzelle I agree.
Best regards,
Ben
Impressive job and patience.
Great Christmas gift… A Chip Channel video I wasn’t expecting this weekend!
Edit: I just finished this video. Actually longer than some old classic movies, but I wasn’t at all bored! I have gotten to the point where I try to guess how you are going to repair or recreate the unique details of each toy. I’m probably the last person to ask, but I assume duplicating the horses would be easier on a 3-D printer, which are not yet in everyone’s budget to purchase. Otherwise, I have no idea! 😉. Thank you for all the quality entertainment this year, Chip. Happy New Year! 👍👍👍 ~ John
New viewer here. I found your channel a few days ago and I'm fascinated. There's something eerily comforting about watching them over a cup of coffee. Your knowledge of plastics, metals, computer aided design and paints has me intrigued. Then, there's your bottomless kit of toys (tools); plastic injection molders, lathes, stone grinders and wire-wheels, drill-presses, emery cloths/sandpapers, sand-blasters, arc-welders and the list goes on and on, and don't get me started on the paints (LOL). Your talents in these areas is nothing less than amazing. I'm guessing (at the very least) a machinist's background, maybe some body-shop experience and graphic design work. You're an amazingly talented person. I remember a lot of the toys you restore from my own childhood. Even some from the 30s & 40s were still around when I was a wee lad and could be found at garage or rummage sales. I'm hooked, already. ;-) Peace
This one was well worth the wait. Beautiful restoration.
Ah, J.B.Weld; the Bondo for metal toy trucks!
Man what a showcase of your restoration skills. Loved every minute of it.
This restoration would put NASA to shame. Outstanding.
LUBIĘ OGLĄDAĆ I PODZIWIAĆ TAKIE TALENTY I UMIEJĘTNOŚCI SUPER POZDRAWIAM❤❤
I didn’t think the video could get any better. Then a cat showed up, I love them.
One of he main reasons I follow your channel is because i really enjoy of your attention to details and the fact that you try to use replacements as less as possible, restoring and even building any necessary part. This was IMHO your best restoration so far, loved it!
That was astounding! You really had to work for that one, wow! As for the horses, you might try pouring each half of the mold separately, lying on their sides, then joining the two halves together. You'd probably have to sand the middle side of each half a little to make them perfectly flat for joining, but it should work... Thanks for this blood, sweat, and tears episode! You did a stellar job, as usual...
P.S. I love the vintage 3D printer!
Beautiful restoration. I saw a real in a parade in Southern New Jersey many years ago. A local man restored it as a hobby.
This has been the most extensive rebuild i have ever watched you do to date. The CAD mill is waaaaaaaay awesome. Excellent work as always
AWESOME "RESTO" Chip!!
Loved your work in making the molds, to re-create the various parts!! Even though most of the horses didn't turn out right for ya, I still enjoyed, & commend your efforts VERY MUCH!!!
From the get - go, I was SUPER ANXIOUS to see how you were going to restore and/or rebuild, that carousel!! BEAUTIFUL JOB!!! 🙂😗
Watching great restoration videos like this one, makes me wish and hope, that just once, (at my current age of 55), I might get the chance to try my hand at a project like this one, and others that I've watched you do over the past year and a half, or so!! 🙂
I know I possess much of the required skills that it takes, to successfully do projects like this, but I just need the $$$, most of the equipment & supplies, plus a project or two to restore! 🙂 Not to mention a small building to use as shop, to do this work in!! LOL!! 😊
Oh well, hopefully some day before I get much older, and grayer!! LOL!!! 🙂
Until then, I will continue to watch and learn from your videos, and several others, out there in "TH-cam Land!!" 😊
Keep up the FANTASTIC work, Chip, & I'll keep watching!!
Your Faithful Viewer in Abilene, TX;
Ron H.
Total Awesomeness Chip. One of your best, keep them coming. When you were setting in a screw and a tiny bit of red paint developed a splinter I found myself blowing wind at it, sorry, I was concentrating so much into helping, lolol.
Love your work and dedication, you are awesome too. 👌👍👏😉🏅🏆
That is a rare toy, that's got to be worth some money
Fantastic restoration which showcased all your skills and tools - your channel has been a wonderful find for 2021 - thank you, and Happy New Year 🥳
動用這麼多的儀器，物料，精神和耐心為了修复已經殘破80%的玩具，我真的佩服你的愛心和技能。讚，讚，讚！👍👍👍👍💕💞💯💯
Very nicely done. I was afraid those remade carousel horses weren't going to look their best. Good thing you could salvage some nice used ones.
Absolute masterpiece. The amount of skil and patience is incredible. Love that the video is super long! Got to enjoy is sereval times before i finished it.
All I have to say is me and my husband have been watching almost every one of your videos and I will tell you we are so addicted to your channel your work is impeccable and I am so glad I stumbled upon your channel just by chance and I've been telling all my friends about what an incredible channel you have you are definitely my favorite channel on all of TH-cam you really are a paragon!.... Thank you so much for sharing your videos with us!.... And I hope you get 40 million subscribers just for the work that you do ...thank you so much!...Christina P.
Great videos, back to a time never to be seen again, when kids had toys instead of a mobile phone.
I have waited sooooooo long for this toy! And it's even better than I had imagined. Thank you for being you! It was a joy to watch.
Impressive restoration, back to one child's Christmas pride and joy as it once must have been. Excellent work.
Another great Chip job!each job you do is here and better. I admire. The tools you use. I hope very much in the future I can do something similar!
thank you for sharing this craftsmanship. It is thoroughly enjoyable to watch restorations. Watching sandblasting is so soothing. What a beautiful kitty.
Chip, that was a bit more labor intensive than some other restorations you've done. I'm glad it turned out so nicely, and that inspector cat approved.
:-) meow meow (-:
He puts just as much heart and love into restoring these toys as the children who once played with them. Awesome job.
These feature length epics are fantastic! The *My Mechanics* of vintage toy cars and that is a huge compliment 🧡
This restoration was AMAZING, it had everything! Welding, pitting repair, injection molding, silicone molding, A CAT, I mean wow!
Amazing restoration! I think most would have considered this beyond repair and now it looks better than new! Great job and merry Christmas!
Yeah, that's because most of it was, the only thing restored was the body and some axes, the rest was just secon hand parts.
I was born in 1955 and i have never seen one of these before . really unique love it . Thanks for all your effort to save these memories
And once again, you upped the ante! Beautiful!! I know many waited quite a while for this one--and you didn't disappoint! I figured it had to be based on a real vehicle, and one of the comments confirmed that. Compliments to you!!
YEAH!!!!!!! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!!!!! I've been waiting for you to do this one. It came out so well! What a fabulous job you did. It reminds me of when I was a little girl, and rode on one of these at some corner carnival. It was such fun! Thanks for bringing back such a wonderful childhood memory. You truly are a master at your craft. Happy and healthy 2022!
Beyond amazing. I would love a tour of your workshop with explanations on all your tools.
Boy could you imagine being on one of those horses while the truck is going 40 or 50 mph😬 Thanks for the awesome video.
🙃
What a journey!! And once again AMAZING workmanship!!! Thanks Chip👍👍👍
Trabalho finalizado com perfeição como sempre. 😍😍😍😍
