Absolutely brilliant mate. You were very brave knocking those threads out. I wouldn’t have been game to do that. Very interesting to see how to polish the lenses. 👍
Lovely, all the way around. Loved the closeups during both disassembly and reassembly, you could clearly see what you were doing. Thanks for sharing this gorgeous item with us all.
Loving the Black Etching ink on brass idea. I've been hitting a wall for inspiration on a project I had on the back burner for a while, and your etching idea finally gave me inspiration on the next step to take. Thanks you very much! Cool video!!!
Thanks to your useful video, this klutz gathered enough know how and inspiration to clean up a pair of long neglected silver-plate Chevalier Paris glasses with family significance. No presences at restoration here! However, with your calm example, I was able to take the glasses apart, clean and polish the various metals with materials I had on hand, and (most importantly), put it all back together. I wouldn’t have had the nerve to tackle this without your video, but now our glasses look like something worth saving instead of a piece of junk. (Also, thanks to the comment suggesting using Barkeeper’s Friend. Perfect for my non-silver needs!)
Tengo unos exactamente iguales, herencia de familia, en perfecto estado. Me alegra ver como se recuperan estas antiguas glorias. Seguro que a traves de sus lentes han visto pasar muchos acontecimientos. Buen trabajo. Saludos desde España. 🇪🇸
Wow... I have exactly the same binoculars. Only in the best condition and in a leather sheath. Made in Austria. My grandfather brought these binoculars from service in the Red Army in the 30s of the last century.
Every time i watch a restoration video i expect to see the best way to restore the parts. Sometimes some materials like glass or old plastic require special attention and very few restorers get into trouble to do the needed research. You sir deserve a like for been one of the few, and show us professionalism in a very short video. Thank you!
Seems like a simple job at first, but there was a lot of delicate parts to deal with. Great to learn about some of the substances you used as well. Thank you very much Mr. Patina 😊. 😎
To refer to this man's efforts as workmanship is an understatement. He is a craftsman and his work shows his high level of craftsmanship. Every piece he restores is a work of art. His videos are a delight to watch - and they are watched with envy. Well done and I look forward to seeing many more.
I'd almost call those swaged or flared together rather than press-fit, bold move to separate them! Interesting how the lenses each appear to be two parts, and are painted black around the outside rim. Huh, ink-etching, is that like cold-bluing but for brass instead of steel? Very similar effect. Quite the intricate little thing, nicely restored! Might have less of that fuzzy halo of reflected light around the outside of the viewing area if the inside of the main body was painted black, but otherwise well done!
They look great I've always liked these for some reason. Even though I have had no use to use them though. You did an excellent job restoring them!! Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
I have a pair of these that belonged to my grandfather. They are in better condition than these were, but the leather on them has seen better days, but they are at least 100 years old. The leather pouch they were stored in has sadly had it, but I throughly enjoyed this
Wow great job. I was in Paris few weeks ago and purchased at flee market looks like same exact opera binoculars as those. I was wondering if u know what year they were made . Thank you
Wunderschöne Arbeit, tolles Endergebnis. Nur die Glaspolitur tanzt ein wenig aus der Reihe. Ich bin mir fast sicher, dass hier selbst mit Zahnpasta (altes Hausmittelchen...^^) ein noch besseres Finish hätte erzielt werden können...^^

Hey Mark, I was pretty nervous while doing that, and it worked pretty fine 😄

Thanks man, iam glad I could inspire you :-)
Great! Job! I’ve seen others use “clear wrap” to wrap the items.
Yes, I did as well but I ran out of clear wrap…😅

While I love the restorations I equally appreciate the humor you inject into your videos😂
Those are so cool. I’ve never heard of ink etching until now! Nice job on the restore.
My young son and I love watching your videos. He particularly enjoys the cat moments! 🙂
Haha, thanks Matt and greets to the son! ✌️
Looks beautiful! Having breakfast watching it! Thanks!
Rio de Janeiro - Brazil
Haha, good start in the day!
Great work! But I confess that watching those beautiful brass parts etching broke my heart
I feel you here, but I wanted to keep it original.
Looking down a reflective surface is suboptimal
Great technical sense of "machinery".
This is an absolute master class. A very delicate item handled with expert precision. Well done!
Thanks, iam glad you enjoyed! 🙂
Badass. Especially the ink etching.
Thanks!
настоящий мастер!!! очень терпелив к своей работе👏👏👏мне особенно понравилось как вы микроскоп привели в рабочее состояние!! респект Вам!!
Hell yea. got the notification immediately started watching my friend do his thing.
Haha, thanks a lot my friend!
Why am I binge watching these at 2 a.m.? They're good, that's why. Relaxing, entertaining, unique.
I do exactly the same 🤷🏻♂️😂
Iam glad youre having fun..! :-)
Great work - love the lens work
Thanks Gerry! 🙂
You really focused in on that job, excellent to say the least friend, have a nice day !!!.

Haha, iam glad you liked it!
Seems like a simple job at first, but there was a lot of delicate parts to deal with. Great to learn about some of the substances you used as well. Thank you very much Mr. Patina 😊. 😎

What a beautiful glasses, and the idea on how to restore them. And creative use of the "Old wooden handle"TM :)

Haha, thanks!
Excelente trabajo saludos desde Venezuela ciudad de Maracaibo
¡Gracias Roberto!
My Grandfather had a pair very similar that he had in the first world war . Could possibly run the threads on a tap . Very cool .
My grandad had the same in the trenches
Super-wonderful! ✌🏻🎨☕️
Thanks Susannah! 🙂
This is so cool. I actually got a set just like these, exept mine has leather sleeves but missing the center piece with the screw.
Lovely piece, amazing restoration

Wow absolutely amazing. You are very skilled. Keep up the good work .
Thanks man!
Good job mister well done
Thanks Vince!
Great job! Next time, wrap the parts in Saran Wrap (Plastic) rather than aluminum foil, I think that will make you happy.
Another SUPER good video. I love watching your restorations. Cheers!
Thanks Tyler, iam glad you like it :-)

They look beautiful.... I like to try those. When are we going to the opera? 😂...Great work.

Thanks bro!
Well done ! Did you lacquered the brass to avoid tarnish?
Absolutely awesome!! Those threads getting tapped out put me on the edge of my chair lol :) What opera are you going to with those?
Haha, thanks Martin! There’s only one opera - the 'Alte Oper Frankfurt' 🙂
У меня тоже есть точно такой же театральный бинокль. Надо будет его тоже отреставрировать для своего канала😁👍 отличная работа кстати.
Spasibo!
I was curious how you were going to get that apart. But, as always, great job, sir. 🤙
Hey B, as you know, it always looks more easy than it actually was 😄
Thanks!
Awesome 👍 job,amigo.
Thanks Amigo!
