    Its a breath of fresh air to see you restore stuff, not that your other endeavors are boring, far from it. Its just that seeing someone of your caliber restore stuff is also entertaining!!! just my two cents

    That is the most steam punk scale I've ever seen! My hubby LOVED (he passed away in May from cancer) finding old useful brass pieces and polishing them up and I LOVE the beauty of the old brass once polished! I loved this one Nick and my husband would have too!

    I liked it older looking BUT it's always funny to me how people take new things and antique them and take antiques and restore them. Awesome job though!

    I love that you post around 2:30am (for me at least) because around this time I can't sleep and I just stare at the ceiling, so instead I can just watch your videos instead

    This was just amazing to see Nick! I love seeing old things being restored and re-used rather than being thrown away and replaced by new and modern gadgets! I got my love for antiques from my foster parents who restored antiques for a living, including an old Irish estate house, including the surrounding out buildings and two cottages. It was an amazing journey in to history and the way things were built in the past. I'd love to see more videos like this 😍

    @waynee.2856 5 лет назад

    Great video and great project. I hate it when I'm at the end of a project and something bad happens and a piece breaks or gets messed up and the I get set back on time. It happens to us all. This is why I love this channel, you're not afraid to show mistakes or accidents and you just keep going with it. Good job bud.

    Beautiful restoration. I have not seen Brasso since I was in the US ARMY 40+ years ago. Velcro patches are more efficient and do not need to be polished weekly. I was surprised that you only wore gloves during the latter part of the video. Your range of artistic skills are impressive. Thanks for this video. Once I become reemployed I will consider your patron site. Cheers

    Years ago when I was in the U.S. Navy. My ship pulled into Portsmouth England for R&R. I caught a train into London and in a museum I saw a postal scale like yours. It was in far worse shape then yours before restoring.
    Bravo Zulu. Job well done.
