      My dad gave me this Tonka tow truck for Christmas in the early sixties. I played with it for years and when I stopped playing with it I placed it in my toy box, in the basement, and forgot about it. It sat in there in for 20+ years until I thought I would look inside the box. I thought about throwing it away, as I did with so many other things but thought better of it. I placed it on top of my bookcase, in my office where it has sat since. I am now in my 60s and as I work at my desk I look up from time-to-time at it sitting there and think of times past.

    I have to say I have never just sat and watched someone clean something with such delicacy and methodically as you do. I love the fact you restore old metal toys. Watching the construction vehicle ones brought a lot of memories of my childhood back. I had all of the constructions ones, the large metal earth movers. Awesome toys that you always make look better than brand new. These are such collectibles now. Would make for some awesome display pieces. Love the work you do and look forward to watching more.

Not only do you do a fantastic job but your videos are top notch and you have a cute sense of humor that comes through without you saying a word. Blessings to you and your wife and may you have many years of happy restoring. Most importantly you are keeping the landfills clear by bringing to life the usefulness of products left to rot. All around a worthwhile and most worthy job!

    I love Tonka’s i remember when i was young the massive yellow cave truck.
    Epic. All metal toys.
    Keep going on with tonka’s models!!

    I imagine you get a lot of satisfaction from what you do. The toys I grew up with are much like what you restore. No plastics, but honest metals. My Dad used to tell me that anything could be restored, as long as it was metal.
    I just subbed your channel today after watching several of your videos. You do amazing work.

    I love these videos. I used to have several Tonka trucks/machines when I was younger. They were made of metal, just like this one. Now they're made of plastic and I'm almost brought to tears seeing these great toys bastardized like that.
