Such an incredible video. This isnt just another restoration video. It's a work of art and documentary of history. Everyone has played in a Radio Flyer wagon as a kid or dreamt of one. This is the kind of video you need to share on Facebook, Instagram, and email to your old friend that you use to tow around in a wagon!
I feel the same way. Justin you are becoming much more than an average TH-camr. It’s a pleasure to watch you at your craft and a blessing to all you share it with.
I agree. The history elevates this to a new level. I had a Radio Flyer. This one hit home for me. It doesn't bother me at all that this is a resto-mod of sorts. I loved every second of it. Nice job on the decals as well!
Not only was the restoration fantastic, this style of video, telling the history and story of the object made it more emotional, bringing up so many fond memories. Please keep it going!
May need to have Chuckie "duckie" look over those welds 😂
Okay.
Yes, please keep doing the history bits. Your voice is perfect for the mini documentaries. Nice work, as usual!
The history aspect of the items has honestly become my favorite aspect to the restorations, especially because the majority of my time I watch your restorations I am working in my shop and just listening. Even narrating over the entire video would be welcome! Keep it up! Great looking wagon.
Remarkable. Amazing job. More history, please. Too many have forgotten or never learned. Thank you.
I enjoy the history lesson. Sometimes the endless tapping and droning of equipment is boring. Your well researched and topical history lessons are welcome and appreciated.
I can remember having a RadioFlyer as a kid , and using it to deliver news papers. This brings back a lot of memories.
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes, I enjoyed watching the healing of that little red wagon. Yes, I was edified by the history you related. Yes, I could take more of the same. Oh, and yes that was a gorgeous job. That one-year-old is a lucky little lad.
Thank you Justin. I am in my 60s. When I was 4 I had a bad issue with a knee repaired and had to learn to walk all over. While I healed, My older brother used to pull me around in just such a wagon. To me, a "Little red wagon" speaks of my youth, of family, and of many many things. Your skill as a body man shows. Well Well Done. And thank you for the memory.
Great job and interesting history lesson
No complaints about your welding...couldn't believe you did the metal replacement with wire! Fabulous skill.
Yes!Yes! YES!!
Give me it ALL!
Seriously though it IS history. Without knowing the history of a thing you can only appreciate half of what it is! It is interesting to see how "broke" something has to be before it is irreparable and the difference between renovating parts and replacing them.
It is also good to see the techniques used for different types of repair (and why) because there are usually more than one way to "do it"!
Another Great Video!
I'm nearing the end of my time here on earth and this video has brought me to tears of joy. I too had one of these magical first vehicles that filled more days than not with adventure.
Thanks from this old man that truly enjoyed one more ride in a radio flyer.
+Dave Pierce Thank you David. I made it for you.
I like it!
I like that you took the time to bring back a piece of my youth so that *someone* 2 generations younger will know the joy and imagination a "little red wagon" invokes.
I was born Sept 6, 1960 on Dec 25, 1960 I was give my red wagon. I restored it for my step son's 4th birthday, back in 1974.
We used to pile up three of us (we were young) in a Radio Flyer, pull back the tongue, and head down a hill. When we got to the bottom, we were going too fast to turn onto the next street, so we ran into a neighbor's yard. Miraculously, none of us were killed. Beautiful job!
This punched right up center. We still have ours, and yes it is a Radio Flyer, proper. It's seen some miles, been taken camping, spilled laughing kids out on the side of a hill. This was right on your home turf as a body man, wasn't it? ReBuilt with love, this one. May it see many happy summer days.
AFTER MY DAD PASSED AWAY. I STARTED TOA ATTEND THE PAMONA SWAP MEET WITH MY YOUNGER BROTHERS. I COULD NOT AFFORD TO BUY A BRAND-NEW WAGON. SO I BOUGHT AN OLD ONE AT THE SWAP MEET. I TOOK IT HOME. REBUILT IT. AND TOOK IT ALL THE TIME AFTER THAT. I DID SUCH A GREAT JOB ON THE REBUILD. I GOT AN OFFER TO SELL IT. BUT I KEPT IT. THANKS FOR LETTING ME, SHRE. SO YES. I LOVE THE RADIO FLYER BRAND.
You saved something that was rusting away to nothing, and created a fantastic gift that will undoubtedly bring hours of joy to that little boy. Great job!
Holy cow that's amazingly awesome great history lesson 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
That will be a great birthday gift for a young man. Many things are learned with toys like this.
I loved the story and this was a great restomod. Its astounding at all the little people in the states who have been taken advantage of due to big money. Thumbs up to all the inventors who didnt get their break.
Cool project and cool narrative! Loved the story! I must say I feel a very slight sense of pity for anyone that cannot distinctly recall the childhood sensation of being simultaneously thrilled and terrified, racing one of these down a hill. My folks bought one for all the siblings to share and we loved that thing. To death! My father repaired that little red wagon so many times I don't think anything but the bed, steering yoke and a few bolts were still original on it when the kids were all grown up. Now it's a humble gardening tool. But back in the day it was a space shuttle to the moon!
I had one of those and raced down hill pretending I was flying a plane! Love history myself. Tell me more never to old to learn something new. great resto mod.
I for one appreciate the background on the RadioFlyer. Great restoration making it actually stronger that originally designed. I’m hoping the special 1yr old will enjoy it for many years to come.
You restoration guys are the "real American hero's"
The beginning had the feel of a time forgotten thanks brought back lots of warm memories
Nicely done. The fine art of planishing is seldom demonstrated so well. Thank you.
Justin, I absolutely love the way you can take trash to treasure. Sometimes a restoration has to be a total rebuild as there is not enough left of the original to restore. You are a sheet metal and bondo guru. Keep up the good work. Just because it is old, does not mean it is junk.
A beautiful job on a device foreign to my culture but to me, associated with 50's Americana. The sturdy, rugged construction is very appealing from a design standpoint, which you have certainly done it proud.
This brings back memories of the Radio Flyer Wagon I had as a child. Mine had bigger tires that could handle tougher Terrains.
Looks very nice. I'm 66 years old and my siblings and I had at least one Radio Flyer on the farm.
NO matter what you call it, you still did a great job !!! Brian UK .
It was fun seeing a body man work with a hammer, power tools and filler. Stopping and feeling for flatness is a good technique. Thanks for the video.
I know you want to get the homestead part of the channel going strong, but man, you’re God given talent was just on display. You honed your skills over the years for sure, but that video in its totality is one of your best yet! 👍
Maybe not a restoration, but definitely a return to service. I always wonder at people that comment about how that isn't how you do that, when the video evidence is right there! Lots of ways to do things. I probably wouldn't have repaired that wagon that way, but I don't have a welder. The job got done and looks like a solid repair, Thanks for bringing me along!
Wow Justin. Great story great resto-mod. Great to see how you filled those rust holes. Takes skill to patch like you did. Easier to do a cut out then patch fill. Thanks for sharing
The history with the restoration was great. Looking forward to seeing more.
I admire the respect you show to the items you restore.
Wow great bit of historical docu-restoration.
I LOVE IT!!! TOTALLY AWESOME BUILD!!! TOTALLY AWSOME FABRICATION!!!! SHE CAME OUT SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!
What a great job. Bring back a little bit of history.
I genuinely think adding some of the backstory behind the items you're restoring is an excellent idea Justin. The manufacturer or the inventor, it's history, anything that humanises the item and gives it context to a modern audience is a win. I love the before, restoration and reveal of old tools and I subscribe to several channels that make such content, but the history of the tools and the men/women who made them is just as fascinating to me.
As a formula the combination of both (documenting the restoration and describing the history of the item) is a winner to my mind, thumbs up.
+Ian Lowe Thank you Ian.
Awesome job, love the history behind the item. In a way it fitting Antonio Pasin invented a cart out of necessity it became popular. Sear stole the idea and you put it back in its rightful place . Necessity is the mother of invention. I really enjoyed your video, Thanks
What a fantastic job! And the icing on the cake, was the great commentary and all the historical information provided regarding the Little Red Wagon. Brilliant!
I loved the restored wagon an easy way to fill the hole too is get a copper bar with edge rounded off and use it as a back to weld the weld wont stick to copper and the other side wont have wire sticking out , 35 years of welding experience, great show thank you
Holy cow! When I got out of this video is that with the right tools in the right mindset you can pretty much do anything. Thank you for sharing
A great idea when you are welding over/in holes. Use either an aluminum backer plate or a brass/copper one. It will allow you to fill in holes so much faster. Absolutely great refurbishing project. Thumbs Up for sure...
Totally digging the new format with the historical narration.
+Darren Lemieux Thanks! Give it a share on Facebook!
Killer job. I'm sure the young man that gets the wagon will treasure it.
That sure brings back memories. Love the history lesson. More of these please!
The pounding of hammer against steel is really relaxing loved the video
Fantastic idea!!!!! Please more history and story telling while restoring the item!
That was like watching a time machine in action. The memories came flooding back to the early 50's . My brother had one and truth be told I used it more than he did. It was my royal coach as the prince escorted me to the ball. Thank you for the memories
Love the history... A forgotten truth. can't be changed , but all should learned. Great format and build. Carl in PA
great video. a bit of history, elbow grease, sparks and paint. I'm looking forward to many more.
Your history of this was not only informational but added to watching you with your gift. Thanks
I like that you told a story of the piece before the restoration (history) and I like when you explain what you are doing and why you choose the method during the video. Basically doing a voice-over in editing. Great job by the way!
I am really digging the history lessons. This is a great addition to your videos.
Justin you knocked that one out of the park!!!! Good job Sir 👍👍
We have one at my house, this makes me want to restore it
Thats awesome! Looks great! Just think...if that wagon could talk it would probably tell how it made two young children smile :)
Well done, Justin. It is a beatiful piece of art. And the story of this toy was great too!
We would put an old TV dinner folding tray in our wagon throw a blanket over it and that was our stagecoach. Thanks for the history and video.
I thoughrly enjoyed the story of how the Radio Flyer came about.
Enjoyed the restomod as well
Thanks for sharing.
Yes as well. History is always good. I enjoyed it.
This is how it should be. I love history myself. You took things to another level with this video. Thanks for the hard work. 👌
absolutely loved this ....everything about it.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching those welds come together. You have a deft touch and that is a great technique.
kool , thanx...nice work , happy Fathers Day
I loved the historical component to this.
The history was totally awesome. Thanks!
Hi , lovely restoration of the wagon and interesting to hear about the history of the company,
My goodness Justin that is just stunning
LOVE the historical aspect Justin. Awsome rebuild/restoration and one amazing birthday present. Good to see those autobody skills are still working out for you 👍👍🇦🇺..
Absolutely loved the history and the new format
GREAT BUILD, A GREAT VIDEO, AND THANKS FOR SHARING.
This was wonderful, I love the extra that you're putting into the video. Thank You!!
Now that brings back the memories!!!
This is something a teacher could get students to watch. The restoration helps make the story be more than just boring history. Great job!
What a wonderful story and tribute to the man who invented “the little red wagon”. My brother and I had one when we were kids. Wish I knew what happened to it. I think my grandfather used it to haul stuff around when working in the yard/garden.
First visit - courtesy of Demo and Mark. Amazing Vid. I renovated an old vise a few months ago - my first 'serious' renovation project. Really enjoyed it. Went out and bought a really old Suffolk Punch petrol Cylinder Mower recently so will be attempting that next...
+Chris Mortimer Nice! Love to see that mower brought back!
Great job, 👍 another trick of welding holes is to hold a thick piece of copper firmly against the back when welding it helps to get a flat surface so less grinding
Aluminum lift blocks for trucks also work well. They are cheap and easy to come by.
Just your cup of tea , loved it.
Always nice to see the work of someone who knows what he's doing.
Love the story with the video. Your passion and respect for history really shines through.
LOVE the history! more of it would be good!
Thanks, the history element is definitely appreciated
Love the history format
Thank you for the history lesson. 63 and still learning. Didn’t know that. Nice to know.
What a beautiful restomod!! I like the way you patched the rust. Please show us more metal toys.
The welding noises were sooooooo satisfying!!!!!🤩😍💖great video loved it
Excellent photography of the weld!
Looks like he is going to have a great birthday!
Justin, love the history. It's just as important as the restoration. The story is the reason why we want to preserve things. Also, I really liked your method of filling the holes. Would love to see more on that. I feel most people don't like it because it does take time and patience.
I had Radio Flyer like that one back in the 50’s we used it for everything my dad’s sister wanted to buy it an I told her she could use but it wasn’t for sale years went by when I ask for it back she said I still use it long story short I never got it back
Thanks for sharing
Turned out beautiful!
Superb work. I envy the people that have that kind of skill.
A stunning restoration. In the UK we do not see many little red wagons so this was fantastic.
Thank you for bringing back some good memories.
Justin you did a great job on the radio flying it better then new one
100% should continue with the history stuff
