I love the way that you only replace items that can’t be salvaged. It makes it a true restoration if you do that. I’ve never owned a Tonka, although I’ve seen them. But I can still see you treat them with respect as you restore them. Thank you.
I love the fact that you take the time to primer, so you can get a smoother result. Many other channels don’t do this, and the final result shows the pitting flaws in their work.
Yes! Especially since RUclips vids invariably have some of the worst “music” ever blaring to the point I have to either turn off the sound or the video one.
Hi rescue&restore! I would like to inform you that someone on tiktok is stealing all of your content and using it as their own. Their name is @mehmetkocabey_ he has more than 100k followers and he is leading his follower to follow his own youtube channel. I hope you will file a copyright complaint. Keep up doing the good work.
Watching you work is so calming to me. I'm glad you don't add any music because I like the 'sound' of your work. To top it all off, seeing the toys of my childhood brought back to life is awesome. Your talent is perfection!
Love watching these videos! And about the insect: looks like the empty cocoon of a Sphinx moth or similar. Usually harmless to gardens and such. If you ever find a “live” one, you’ll notice it squirms and wiggles around to get away from your grip. Super creepy.
I love these videos, especially since I had most of these Tonka toys. I recently started playing your videos on a tablet for my 86 year old father. He suffered a stroke last year which has left him with limited speech and he needs help walking. He basically has a brain injury and will never be the same. He was a mechanical engineer and always just a hands on guy who could fix anything (skills that I did not inherit 🤦♂️🤷♂️). It brings me great joy to see the smile on his face as he touches the screen and intently watches your awesome videos. Even a non handy guy like me finds them very relaxing. Thanks for what you do 🙏👍
I can see why you chose to paint them together, that way all the pieces would be seamless and the little pins and such to match. The torch was a great idea to bring the plastics shine back!
The "bug" you found was actually a cacoon. I used to find many of them in my backyard buried in the dirt. I think they bury themselves or hide themselves like that for protection, their cacoons aren't very strong and can be easily broken and mess up their transformation. I'm not quite sure what kind of bug it is though.
**Cocoon** you mean? Also, he probably knows it’s not a bug but the “case” from one. Also, this is not a cocoon, this is a pupa from a moth (most likely), a cocoon is made out of silk, what he showed on the video is from the naked stage of a moth or butterfly, like a chrysalis.
My Mechanics, he “Makes a new one” (i.e. mills new parts like screws and washers on a mini milling lathe) in every video. He takes this restoration stuff up to eleven, and a *lot* of restoration channels have been stepping their game up because of him.
I had one of those Tonka toys as a kid, and I don't recall the air brakes decal on the rear bumper. All my toys were from Tonka. Those were the great days to be a kid, when the toys were made of metal and lasted many years through all kinds of weather abuse, even being buried in the snow lol. Even had an old aerial ladder firetruck...wish I still had it as those things are worth some serious money to a collector.
Dude, can i ask, all the things you have fixed and restored, do you have them all as part of your collection? If so, if it isn't too much too ask, could you maybe do a 1 minute video of all the old restored items you have right now so far? Great videos, i love them! :D
I used to watch these while constantly forwarding because who could sit thru the entire video. But I've found that watching at 2x the speed allows you watch and enjoy the whole thing in half the time.
The sandblasting has always been my favorite part of these videos. There is something incredibly calming about it. It just leaves me with the feeling that I wish I was the one doing it. :P
Super neat wire bending jig. Clever. Even more clever is applying the paint to the raised lettering on the tires. I suppose if you restore enough of these things, you learn what works and what doesnt. Terrific video. As always.
These restorations always bring a genuine smile to the kid in me, I love how you powdercoat them instead of just using a spray can, you powdercoating them will make them last an eternity now! Thank You For This!
Incredible. Countless hours of work for Rescue and Restore turns into 16 minutes of relaxing and calming pleasure for me. It's better than therapy- or Yoga :) Thank you.
You are just so meticulous and careful with the entire process. I absolutely appreciate every video you put out - the time and effort you pour into these toys really shows. And thank you for not adding any music at all, it's much easier to concentrate on what I'm seeing you do without some royalty free ditty in the background. You've got a wonderful channel!
12:10 that right there is a homemade tool that needs to be a real deal tool for people thats a ingenious way of bending stuff plus the way you painted the tires was incredible if somethings tall enough you can paint stuff like that
Very very cool ! I had one in 1975 it was my favorite toy, I would sit on it and push myself around.. the string and little metal hooks just aren't done anymore . Thanks great memories.
I am now back will stay here on this pleasant, relaxing side of youtube and away from social media and network tv. The current riots and political agendas and the world falling apart have given me enough fill for the next ten years.
This video is amazing. So many great ideas. The rivet clamp press (I was thinking of making something like that for myself. Certainly would have saved me the money I spent on an aircraft hand-squeeze, riveter), the hand made tube/ pipe bender, using the press to insert the hubs into the tires, and the torch to lightly melt and shine up the plastic. Brilliant.
My childhood Tonka would have spazzed out if it could see this! Awesome video once again! I liked the torch idea! Another beautiful restoration! Thanks for sharing!
My dad still has a bunch of these old trucks from when he was a kid! We actually have this exact one, too! I’ve always known them to be rusted and dirty, so it’s really cool to see what they would have looked like new
I eventually grew old enough to realize how LITTLE I know - now I learn something new every day - the way you painted the letters on the side of the tyres.....BRILLIANT!!!
As a kid we had a lot of Tonka toys in metal...and never managed to break any of them. Watching the disassembly/repair shows how well they were made compared to the plastic toys of today.
eh, depends on the toy, when I was 5 my grandma got me this awesome radio controlled liner jet and to this day I can't believe that a toy like that could be made. It has lights, sounds, it tilts in the direction of every manuever and the controller works by tilting it like a real airplane yoke with a nice functional tilt indicator on the front. it has been my favourite toy for years, and even now I always keep some batteries around for it so my younger cousins and my nephew can play with it when they come over. in about 20 years of use not only not a single component broke in it which would be quite reasonable for such a complex toy, we didn't even manage to scratch the paint. besides that though, I was wondering, did tonka toys come this good out of the factory or is he fancying them up? I might've not been able to experience what it felt like to receive one for christmas as a child but honestly he makes them look so good that even as an adult I'd be far more thrilled than someone my age should be to get my hands on one:)
NPC they used to be made in Mound Minnesota now in China and not nearly as much metal on them now I have a small metal fab shop I E mailed Hasbro if they have a shortage I’d like to stamp out parts like the old ones they could have a retro re issue of that style we saw restored I bet they would sell well !
Yes sir! 👍🏼 Mighty Tonka! I used to have a firetruck when i was a kid, that was a one piece if steel on wheels! The good ol days! Now they are made of pure plastic.
So much powder coating, I'm over here making the Homer Simpson doughnut gurgle of pleasure noise, and the clear, high viability shots of the parts being sandblasted, instead having us peek through a grungy window, this is how a restoration channel is done, fellas.
Not to advertise another channel to take away from this one, but Odd Tinkering is another one of my favorites who specialize in metals & electronics restorations. rescue & restore & odd tinkering are my two favorites. Similar styles, different sorts of projects.
I've been enjoying watching these videos which has been a while. Interesting how he can restore these classic or vintage toys from my childhood & bring them back to life.
I’m curious. I’ve never seen you use any other kind of paint besides powder. Is powder based paint easier to use than spray or liquid, is it a quality thing or is powder paint cheaper or is it more of a personal preference? Also, nice to see you back. Hope your staying safe!
The powder is either plastic or polymer in a powder form, not actual paint. You attach an electrical wire to the item you're coating, powder sticks to the item using static electricity. It bakes on and becomes a smooth hard finish, much more durable than paint, and doesn't rust.
Liquid spray is easier to spray coz for powder you need a oven and electrostatic gun to cover an item but for the quality powder is much better due to its durability. Powder is quite costly. There are many types of finished in powder coat like matt, textured (wrinkled), semi gloss but he usually used the glossy type.
I had this exact truck as a kid and still do somewhere in my attic. Great job! The original color is a burnt orange, but it looks great in red and you have it looking good as new. I used to ride this thing down the hill in our back yard it was so sturdy.
R & R.....What kind of bug is this? Me..... A dead one! Others on RUclips that do restoration could learn a lesson from you, such as using the small torch to freshen the plastic parts. I loved your unique way of bending the wire crane support parts, brilliant! A beautiful restoration!
I'll take one! Everything he does is perfect. 1) There's something satisfying about watching powder coat paint curing (I can't believe I just said that). 2) I liked the blow torch trick to fade out the scratches in the tires and the grille. 3) Pressing the tires into wet paint sprayed on cardboard was awesome. I would have probably spent hours painting each letter. This man is a genius.

Anyone else think it’s neat how he doesn’t add in any background music so we can hear him working?
Brock Ellis That’s why he’s my favorite restoration RUclipsr
Totally, I find music distracting. Also love the fact there's no need for explanations either. You understand what's going on just by watching.
Yes! Especially since RUclips vids invariably have some of the worst “music” ever blaring to the point I have to either turn off the sound or the video one.

Brilliant technique for renewing the old black plastic parts!
They do that also to faded bumpers and trim on cars. Use a heat gun to get more even coverage.
@@gforcekaras The heat gun should also reduce the risk of (local) melty mistakes.
And here I thought you meant him ordering replacements :D

The torch was cool... then the way he did the white on the tires! Totally rad.

It covers better and leaves a smoother finish
Its also more durable and scratch resistant than paint
The powder is either plastic or polymer in a powder form, not actual paint. You attach an electrical wire to the item you're coating, powder sticks to the item using static electricity.
It bakes on and becomes a smooth hard finish, much more durable than paint, and doesn't rust.
