    I've seen other "restorers" videos but none are as enjoyable to watch nor have the skills you do and their finished pieces reflect that. Thanks for an interesting & relaxing hour.

    I'm glad that there are people out there who restore things back to fantastic and new condition, too many times I tossed things out even though I didn't want to, because I lack knowledge of how to fix it, and skill.

    Painstakingly & meticulously done! It passed the Cat's 59:02 inspection too! All the new tools and techniques add a new flavour to each episode. Brings back some sweet childhood memories too. Many a times, I feel that the Tonka toys you restore are better than they were bought brand new from the Toy store!

    Firstly, holy cow! The rot on those wheels and caps! DANG. You've never had any of either nearly that bad! I won't lie, I got excited while also in awe. lol
    "How many miles?" THOSE AXLES, WOW. Never seen any toy vehicle with that kind of wear. O, the stories this truck must have. All the adventures and roads paved for it by the children at the wheel. How much it must have been truly loved to get so much use.
    Suggestion for the future when trying to salvage the wood pieces! Clear acrylic filler! Even if the wood is terrible, you're keeping it with the entire project together that way, and in much sturdier condition! You could even add a little color, flake, or pearl to the fill. :D
