lol... I hate putting channel "stuff" in my videos... instead, I am working on a channel update video that will explain things and my plans moving forward.. This way I can just delete the video once it is out of date.

Lady here, dont worry, I always click your videos on purpose. Both your beautiful worksmanship and knowledge of the history of these cars always draw me in.
"Ladies who accidentally clicked?" A whole lot of us played with Matchbox cars and I'm sure many others would find these videos as soothing as this lady if the algorithm would lead them here.😅
So... around 80% of female viewers watch videos related to beauty and weight loss while an equal percentage of male viewers watch gaming and niche hobby videos like this one. It's on every website that analyzes youtube audience demographics. If anything you should take it as inclusion, it makes no sense to be offended by his joke unless you're a woke creep. That's so 2020.
@@zach3360 I'm not offended but it sure sounds like my comment got to you. It was meant as a gentle joke to point out that women aren't just here by accident. I don't wear make up, but I watch MUA for the same reason I watch these: it's soothing to watch someone make something fresh, fun, and beautiful. I guarantee you other women are watching both MUA and Matchbox car make overs for that same reason. You should mess with your algorithm and try watching some MUA - you might like them too. Roll on. Enjoy your day. Let people have their innocent comments.
Hot wheels have always been my favorite childhood memory. I still have a few of my well worn cars. I've given them to all of the kids in my family. The kids always know that auntie has cars in her bag.
SO GLAD TO SEE YOU BACK ON, HOPE ALL IS GOOD AND THAT YOU DIDNT HAVE ANY SERIOUS PROBLEMS!!!!!! Beautiful job as always you sure have not lost your touch in your absence. Hope you will be on more often.
i miss watching your redline videos. my favorite part was always watching you prep the car and paint it. the painting on these cars is always my favorite. i hope you are doing well.
OH MY!! The Master of zinc plating returns to the 1/64 die cast world! In my humble opinion there is NO ONE who has this technology wired better than you. I have learned so much from your metallurgical lessons in how to restore those cars who have become oxidize after years of play or abuse. This restoration is not without exception and looks great! Well done! Welcome back sir from your hiatus! You have been missed and we look forward to your future editions on this channel.
For the "they were originally never perfect so don't make it perfect" point, to really drive it home, you should make a video of you making one normally, and one "as perfect as possible". Maybe even do a video where you take a modern casting and make it look as close as possible to a restored car in your collection to show how far mattel has come
Hi baremetalHW, Good day to you and AWESOME! You made my DAY with your RETURN! Wishing you the very BEST! Take care, be well, and Thank you! Peace & Joy
I'm a lady, and I promise I didn't click this by accident. You're one of the first die cast channels I subscribed too and your tips have helped me with my cars a lot. Thank you
Now this is the sort of restoration video I like to see. Genuine. Not a 'restoration' of a model that has been pre-wrecked deliberately by throwing it on a fire for a while.
3 or 4 ladies who accidentally click on this video? Really? I look at a lot of diecast on my channel and according to my stats, 25% of my audience is female. I highly doubt there's any misclicks there. Good to see you're back again. Now hopefully Marty makes his way back as well. Been missing you both.
Man I missed these videos. Funny that you always mention not going "too far" with how perfect you try to make the car but a single dedicated video of doing just that might satisfy the masses. Can't wait for the next one.
@baremetalHW I'm old but I'm new. I love your My Mechanics vibe. Your resto's are absolute Masters level learning. Question.. you mention a few times that making them too perfect makes the car stand out as restored, especially to collectors. Is your goal to create a car that convincingly avoids a collectors scrutiny or do you add value by owning the fact that it's a quality resto? As an art teacher, I find myself wanting imperfections as a way to make each car non-fungible, so I would want to know it was restored and enjoy the craftsmanship of the artist(you). To me, a fan of the sublime nature of vintage and not a value chaser, I appreciate you not overworking yet completely revitalizing a sliver of my childhood.
You nailed it... Can I restore a car that can fool a pro collector...that's my goal. Mirror polished cars are great for RUclips videos but aren't fooling anyone. My video "back catalog" is full of them and they are sort of boring to make at this point. Now I break out a microscope and compare zinc crystal structure and try to match it... try and age the paint... try and reproduce toning... it's so much more fun and rewarding than "the perfect paint job". Nothing wrong with seeking perfection in art... it's just that perfection for me is creating a restoration that would not stand out if it was sitting next to the real thing.
Happy to see this pop up in my feed, and to see you are back. You are are great at your craft, and your casual and informative style makes for excellent content.
You have no idea how much i missed you, your videos always bring me such calm, i dont know how i managed 8 months without you. I clicked instantly when i saw the notification

@@baremetalHW I was so happy to see you post again. I find your videos super cathartic and relaxing. Hope all is well
@@baremetalHW I understand
come on guy be nice to him
He returned when we needed him most
No one delivers a restoration video like you do. Welcome back...You were missed.
And when the world needed him most, HE RETURNED!
I watched all of his videos in the time he was gone, it's like an addiction
Definitely not Emma I binge these they’re so good
Not anymore
hey, I'm a lady and I've been watching your channel for 3 years.
dont lie, you have been waiting for the nail polishing episode
No one cares
@TailExchange it’s true

That's a long time. I think BareMetalHW and My Mechanics are the same person. Great RUclips channels.
Agreed .. Been a long time
Yeah what a day lol, I accidentally broke my iPad and had to break into my Nans house 😂
Other than that
As a lady I don't "accidentally" click on these videos.. They're too good
Right!!

It was a light hearted joke
SO glad you're beack!!! Not gonna lie, i was getting kinda worried, hope everything with you and your family is alright!
subscribed lady here, clicked video on purpose. Love watching your restorations.
What do you mean "ladies who accidentally clicked on the video"? (6:35) I love these, there was no accident in clicking on it. :)

Judging by the comments your content and presence was truly missed. Glad you're back!
Lady here. No accident clicking for me been subscribed for a while now. Loved the nail tip lol.
You have no idea how happy I was to see a notification from you again, welcome back :D
8 years later and still going..always informative. Happy for new content. Thank you. All the best.

Damn I almost forgot this channel existed lol
Omg The man that got me into this hobby is back!!!
I am a lady, love restoring stuff and love the nail tip! So glad you're back!
hot wheels and restoration is a VERY far topic for me, but i still immediately clicked on your video, cus they're so sadisfing. welcome back
I'm a little old lady who deliberately follows you. 😁
Hot wheels have always been my favorite childhood memory. I still have a few of my well worn cars. I've given them to all of the kids in my family. The kids always know that auntie has cars in her bag.

OH MY GOD! I am so happy that you are fine
Also I'm glad you're back
I really miss you, man.
You are the reason why I started collecting hot wheels all the way back in 2019.
Nice video!!
HES BACK! man have I missed you, i was recently sick and i was watching your videos wishing you would come back.
Finally, a real restoration channel. So tired of so many channels where they just add fake deterioration and miraculously 'fix' them.
I missed the restoration videos there really entertaining
I have no idea how I got here, but I’m glad I did. This is an awesome hobby!
Finally he's back after God know's how long
The legend is back! Just what I needed after grinding through the fenders of yet another car culture e-type.
Just a casual 8 month break - welcome back! 🙌🏻
i miss watching your redline videos. my favorite part was always watching you prep the car and paint it. the painting on these cars is always my favorite. i hope you are doing well.
Forgot about you but you bring memories of a car I used to play with as a little kid
I miss these videos so much, just so satisfying makes me want to restore and customize!
This was a excellent restoration to return with, it’s good to see you back.
Nice restoration. Glad you came back after so long!
THE ALMIGHTY KING HAS RETURNED
SO glad to see you back, you were missed! Hope all is good. Whatever it may be, take your time. We'll be here.
Oh yes!!!!!! Yes yes yes!!!! It's been so long!!!!!!! Yay!!!!!!! You inspired me to start customizing, I love this channel so much!!!!!!!!
The car turned out great. The red looks awesome. Very nice job. Thank you so much for sharing so much with us. You have taught me a lot.
the King is back, so baremetalHW welcome back!

Good to see you back - now waiting for Marty to reappear as well
Marty put out a video stating that his internet out in the country is crap. Until that improves he wont be doing much

He recovered his password!!!
Bro this was one of my favorite cars as a kid. THis one and a red one like it. Thanks for the nostalgia.
You're alive! Yay!
I was literally bingeing your videos the other day!
Praise be the name baremetalHW for he has made his triumphant return to my RUclips Feed!
What a lovely surprise in my subscription feed! Great restoration as always, and thanks for the history lesson at the end!
Woah, welcome back brother 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️😃👍🏻
Great to see you back! As always, an awesome restoration 🙂🛠🚗
Great that you're back and with a model that is just as great :D
Also: why should I use a dremel to polish my nails lol
I’m unsure how watching a numeric conversion video prompted autoplay to show me this next but I’m happy it did. Beautiful restoration of a lovely car.
YES. I MISSED THIS
Thank you for coming back to us!!!
Yes finally you’re back
It is so good to see you back. The Ferrari looks great. Red Spectra flame is perfect for this restoration.
