I appreciate how you actually restore the toys. Many people modify them and call it restoration when they are really modding. You restore true to original which keep me watching the channel.
The quality of the powder coat finishes you achieve is so far beyond anything I have ever seen that it is hard to believe it's real. Amazing work indeed. My kids say I'm obsessed with your channel, but I simply appreciate the time and dedication it takes to do this work, and the fact that you do it on the toys from my youth is an added bonus.
I see the sheep have been rolling in catnip … Beaker wouldn’t do that without reason… Sweet restoration - you do have a special talent. Thank you for sharing!
Each time you change colors do you have to clean the paint sprayer. You really make the these old toys beautiful again. The I am so glad there are people like yourself that preserve the past.
Those wheels came up nicer than i expected after the sand cleaner. and then the chrome stove enamel just made them like new! Nice restoration, Tonka would be proud!
Oh my word, that looks fabulous Chip. And the cat is beautiful too. I dont know what you do for a living but you have stunning clean hands. Many thanks from South Africa
My cat inspects all the work in my shop too. This was some job, beautiful. You get the decals straighter than the factory did. Must have been some place to work when they made these.
I love watching your content! I love how you bring back these wonderful toys! Watching them have life again is so cool. I watched another video and you asked how to get the bubbles out of the rubber for the tires. After you get it all put in the mold before you place it in the high pressure pot, pick it up and give it a few gentle taps on the table. The tapping would force the bubbles to pop. Just an idea for you. :)
The skills required to restore this veteran Tonka Coe truck are absolutely brilliant and love the bright colours.The technological and metallurgy knowledge you have are incredible.🙏
Another great video. I am sure I am not the only one who would appreciate/enjoy seeing a tour of your shop and tools. It would be enjoyable to see where you create your magic. Thank
I used to work at a coating parts company and I asked for a position in the coating area, they told me it was a men's job, now I regret I didn't insist.
Just discovered your channel, brilliant. Without a doubt the best on you tube for restoration and to top it off, NO damn super anoying music. Think you for a great post. Andy from New Zealand.
Truly amazing. You just know somewhere in the world, the little boy that played with that on his birthday is now an old man and would smile to see it, perfectly restored. Thanks for sharing. It makes me smile anyway.
A spectacular job of restoring every single piece in this massive project. What is even more impressive to me though, is the masterpiece of video editing done to make this process look so smooth and seamless.
My only problem with your channel is that it’s so relaxing I can’t stay awake!! I will be in the middle of a video and next thing I know I wake up and I’m in the middle of an entirely different video. But I always go back and catch up. This is a good problem to have. Love your channel.
Thanks John Williams, they are definitely getting closer, I'm still seeing some bubbles which I believe I'll need to redesign the mold to get rid of. Thanks again!!
it looks good restored but i still like it when it was rusty !!!! i also tinker i'm a tinkerer ! out of all the video's of your that i have watched this is my favorite one
Another beautiful restoration! Always good to see your answer to challenges like the wheel grommets. Between your replacement tires and tool you made for the grommets you’ve got it down to a science!
Outstanding! I doubt it looked any better when that first lucky little boy pulled it out of the box. I was born in 1951 (thus am from approximately the same time frame as this toy) and would have LOVED to have gotten a truck like that. Alas we were too poor. You do great work. Keep it up
I love this channel. I am just amazed at the end product. I am not a toy collector or anything like that, but I really appreciate the time and effort that you put into every toy. They are truly a work of art and this little Tonka Truck was no exception. Well done!
* Love your channel ! It's so relaxing watching you cherry out the toys from my childhood. Got ya this time though ... The door stickers are crooked ... 🤭
The itsy bitsy spider saw what was coming, and ran for his life! 1:20. If you really want to get rid of the bubbles in the tires, I suggest getting some sort of vibrating platform and putting the mold on it for several minutes while wet. This in theory will "shake" the bubbles out. A similar thing is done with concrete where they put vibrators in the wet mud to excite the bubbles to the surface. I think you should try that before redesigning the molds... Your skill is second to none man!
Might I suggest using magnets instead of bolts to hold your mold together, and a mold release agent would make things easier as well. Great video as always, thanks.
Your a lucky lucky lucky man, i could quite happily spend my days doing this, the satisfaction must be tremendous. Loving the posts i have recently come acrosd
Love your channel been a fan for two years I kind of wish you had more videos every week but I understand these trucks take time to work on during the weeks and Parts so I totally get it but man you do really cool restorations were from California here appreciate the talk of trucks brings back memories when I was a kid
Thanks soo much Steve Davidson!!! Yup, I would definitely love to put out more content, I'm currently spending anywhere from 35-60 hours per restoration with restoring, filming and editing, The plan is to get all my equipment and shop setup over the next couple years and move to doing restoration work full time. Currently I still work 45-50 hours a week at my day job and do this after hours.
Great addition to your collection. I look forward to each new episode! Impressive skill set you have! Would be interesting if you would post actual time in the description. Keep waiting to see a press brake where you decide a new body, etc is required :) Great job Chip!!!!
Thanks soo much Dave! I've got some exciting new equipment coming that may allow some additional new pieces to be made on hand, super excited about it! Thanks soo much for watching! This one I had somewhere between 35-40 hours into it.
I find it interesting on the older Tonka's that some of the parts used were common things, like the wheel rims are cup pulls for closet doors or rod holders for closet rods. The tires were probably some kind of O-ring. The rest, stamped out on a machine. They made a lot of these, so you can imagine how many parts were needed.
Dang you Chip, after watching all your Tonka restoration videos your subliminal messaging ate into my brain. I ended up purchasing a Ford F-150 Tonka edition two weeks ago. I love it as much as I love your channel. Thanks for making me feel like a kid again.
Really enjoyed the new procedures shown here. The tire molding and riveting tool for the wheel hubs were great, well done! Keep the videos coming, love them all! You were the first toy restoration site I started with over a year ago, still my favorite and first choice! Thanx from Yuma, AZ.

I never knew Tonka made so many different vehicles. I loved playing with Tonka. When you restore a Tonka, you make them better than new.
I always get very impressed how you have the tools for absolutely everything. Magnificent job 🤩
I see the sheep have been rolling in catnip … Beaker wouldn’t do that without reason…
Sweet restoration - you do have a special talent. Thank you for sharing!
The kitty is the real reason to watch these videos, imo. The satisfying restoration is just a bonus. :)
Each time you change colors do you have to clean the paint sprayer. You really make the these old toys beautiful again. The I am so glad there are people like yourself that preserve the past.
Very pretty. Human does work. Beaker gets the treats. Perfection!
you did a great job restoring the utility truck.
Just got home from work and wanted to watch you restore another awesome old toy, greatt Job
It does not get anymore professional or detailed or state of the art than this ...Mind blowing craftmanship
Absolutely the best Chanel by far for this type of restoration, makes the others look amateurs,
so glad i found this channel its the best therapy from a shitty days work a man could ask for
When the tow truck pulls up they must think , he's chosen me , he's chosen me . Love all your restorations.
I turn on to watch restoration and see a sheep beating up a cat. Got to be the best restoration channel!
Those wheels came up nicer than i expected after the sand cleaner. and then the chrome stove enamel just made them like new!
Nice restoration, Tonka would be proud!
Oh my word, that looks fabulous Chip.
And the cat is beautiful too.
I dont know what you do for a living but you have stunning clean hands. Many thanks from South Africa
I was thinking that was an older model truck. Cool it's from the 50's.
I enjoy your show and I remember some of the toys I am 71 yrs old
My cat inspects all the work in my shop too. This was some job, beautiful. You get the decals straighter than the factory did. Must have been some place to work when they made these.

cute touch that you used the tow truck with the same frame and cab as the truck that's being restored.
Good so far 👏 I will finish watching later, Very nicely done 👍🏻
You are one talented articulate man.
Until I seen your videos I always wanted to learn the process of powder coating. Thank you chip !!!
I used to work at a coating parts company and I asked for a position in the coating area, they told me it was a men's job, now I regret I didn't insist.

Big kitty is so funny and pretty. I love your channel Chip.
Beautiful truck, flawless restoration, Say hello to Pussykins from me. ❤
I thought this was the only restoration channel, I happened to watch another one but I didn't like it. This channel is the best.
Truly amazing. You just know somewhere in the world, the little boy that played with that on his birthday is now an old man and would smile to see it, perfectly restored. Thanks for sharing. It makes me smile anyway.
Another reason why i love this is because it reminds me of Gumby and all the vintage toys
Watching 2nd time around, sorry I press the like button again. Love your workmanship.
Missed "cannot" before press.
A spectacular job of restoring every single piece in this massive project. What is even more impressive to me though, is the masterpiece of video editing done to make this process look so smooth and seamless.
The primary colors ,red and yellow, and secondary color, green. Looks great!
I love the color combo!! Thanks for watching Elizabeth Faraone!
looks like a new one.very nice work
My only problem with your channel is that it’s so relaxing I can’t stay awake!! I will be in the middle of a video and next thing I know I wake up and I’m in the middle of an entirely different video. But I always go back and catch up. This is a good problem to have. Love your channel.
The only restoration channel without the melodrama,keep the good work coming -it is art and tech all rolled into one.
Thank you Philip Amadi!! Have a great Sunday!
@@Cimmerian415 Will watch his channel-thankyou for the suggestion.
@@amadine770 also give odd tinkering a look too!
Will definitely give it a try.
Wait there's drama on restoration channel I used to watch lot then they stop getting recommended for some reason. But I'm back lol
The result is amazing great stuff
I love the part where the prehistoric saber-toothed tiger comes in and destroys the sheep...awesome video
wow!!!! wow!!!! master work, master job!!! greetings!!!
Top Marks, excellent to see great old toys brought back to life.
Those tires look amazing. Looks like you perfected your method. 👍🏼😊
Thanks John Williams, they are definitely getting closer, I'm still seeing some bubbles which I believe I'll need to redesign the mold to get rid of. Thanks again!!

Clever little tool for doing the wheel hubs....
Thanks!! I'm thinking about perfecting it and selling them so other restorers can use them!
Oh one more thing. I am new to RUclips, can you tell me how to donate money to your RUclips account. Thanks again Dan
Another beautiful restoration! Always good to see your answer to challenges like the wheel grommets. Between your replacement tires and tool you made for the grommets you’ve got it down to a science!
WOW awesome transformation!

Deine Ergebnisse sind jedesmal begeisternd, wenn ich deine Videos anschaue. Seit 2 Jahren habe ich keines deiner Videos verpasst. Weiter so👍🏻
This is absolutely wonderful.This is a gift and it blows me away to see the amount of time spent on one toy. Thanks for doing this!😊
Can't wait for the tank's turn!
Расцветка светофор, привлекает внимание и очень нравится детям. Отличная работа, кошка не может ошибаться.
Thank you!

Whoever sold you that truck must've been the original owner. It was pretty clean looking.
The before / after is really impressive 👍
Thank you Geo2cv 6troN!!!
Looks like Beaker has taken charge of the sheep!😁 It's really cool how your now able to fabricate the tires.
Your a lucky lucky lucky man, i could quite happily spend my days doing this, the satisfaction must be tremendous. Loving the posts i have recently come acrosd

Just stunning !!! Toys were real art !! You sir are a master craftsman …..thank you so much for sharing 🙏👍👍
Great job Chip! Keep these great videos coming. Peace Out 🤟
Thank you. I admire your collection.
INCREDIBLE JOB AS ALWAYS
Another fabulous restoration. 👍👍👍
Another find restoration project! Looks great as always.
Thanks for sharing!
Outstanding work!! Love to watch! I remember playing with some of these toys as a kid. Keep it going!
Cool tool to avoid marking the wheel when you put the tire! Love your channel.
It is now shinier than original 🤗
Very nice!
And another project receives the kitty cat sniff of approval!
Really enjoyed the new procedures shown here. The tire molding and riveting tool for the wheel hubs were great, well done! Keep the videos coming, love them all! You were the first toy restoration site I started with over a year ago, still my favorite and first choice! Thanx from Yuma, AZ.
You have a beautiful cat
