    That was awesome to watch… I just retired from Michelin back in December after almost 41 years of employment so this was quite interesting to me. The Michelin Man’s name is actually “Bibendum”, commonly referred to as Mr. Bib across the company.

    • @AwesomeRestorations
      @AwesomeRestorations  2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

  • @ktown4852
    @ktown4852 3 ปีที่แล้ว +430

    Absolutely loved the video!
    The Michelin man is 120 years old and his real name is Bibendum, and used to be a bit creepy looking. Many of the posters from the early 20th-century depict him as a somewhat sinister figure, large and bespectacled, drinking champagne, and chomping permanently on a cigar. This led to the character being known for a while as a “road drunkard”, an image that would be disgusting to any car related company today. In the Italian market he was depicted as a pleasure seeking ladies’ man - An attempt to appeal to the wealthy upper - class folks who had the monetary funds to purchase a car. But in the 1920’s he toned down and took on a more refined family friendly image. He quit alcohol, stopped smoking, shed plenty of weight and is even a touch macho looking. Lol.
    There’s a restaurant in London that pays tribute to him. Last but not least, the Michelin Man in 2018 was awarded Icon of the Millennium.

I will imagine how much time I would save by having a sandblaster. In order to clean the metal, I need a rust remover, washing, drying, oiled. Then removing the dark color from the surface with the help of angle grinder... Someday I'll buy it! Good luck to you, it's nice to look at the master.

      WD40 stands for Water Displacement # 40, it was designed to move water around. For stuck bolts or nuts you need to use some sort of penetrating chemical or oil. It might not made a difference in this application but penetration oil might have made a difference on the other end of the bolt. You probably already new all this so I am just repeating what you already new. Like you videos 👍

      @@RoloTomaseWD-40 is a multi purpose product that actually states on the can " loosens rusted parts", among other things and in big writing above that also states "THERE'S ALWAYS ANOTHER USE".
      Just because dish soap is used for dishes doesn't mean it can't clean other stuff too. Just like ol WD it's intended purpose wasn't its only use it has in life.

    Was feeling below par today
    Sniffles, aches & just a little
    " poor me" feeling
    Didnt want to watch any of my usual vids, my music or anything & was just about to turn off
    When ... bam!
    You popped up, i watched many of your vids before & other restoration channels
    Years ago before rotten arthritis took hold, i loved doing these projects myself
    Im qualified in Mig & Tig welding & have loved metalwork all my life!
    I began working in precious metals 15yrs ago when big projects were too much for me
    & although retired from working in mental health, ive never tired of doing restoration & metal working
    I make gold, silver, bronze jewellery now & love it
    Not many females in this area of big restoration projects etc but more now than there used to be..
    Any way im fully happy now
    Even my aches & sniffles are gone
    Thank you, and Mr Michelin Man
    With his happy bright eyes
    He made me smile
    I know things are sentient objects but i think, in my opinion
    They know when they are being restored & care taken over them
    Then at the end when youve done
    A good job & admire your handiwork... well theres a little something apparent in those restored items
    Its what loving restoration does to a once loved then neglected object that shines through
    I often thought this after id finished an especially tough project & felt a ...
    Hard to explain but a telepathic thank you for making me whole again
    Sorry if i sound nuts but its how i nearly always felt
    Anyway big thanks for cheering this lady up today 🇬🇧👧

    I have one of these in original mint condition. My uncle had a repair shop and started selling tires. They gave him this promo piece, but he hated it, so he gave it to my dad. He displayed it for a few years, but my mom convinced him to put it in storage when dad built our new home. He wrapped it really well and put it in the attic. I found it when I was 12 years old, and its been mine ever since.
