This channel is awesome
No loud music
No commentary
No really long, unnecessary sections
But it does have:
Restoration
Cool camera shots
No finished product in the thumbnail
eh, I like some commentary sprinkled here and there to explain stuff where needed.
@@npc6817 in small doses where appropriate i agree, it can certainly break up the monotony, for lack of a better word. or subtitles.
I agree! I’ve hooked everyone on this channel! More, man more!
@@ryanbarker5217 yeah, subtitles would be nice if you dont like commentary
It also has satisfaction
This level of restoring is truly an art form.
YEA, YOUR SO RIGHT! BUT LOOK AT THE EQUIPMENT HE HAS. MONEY TIME, AND PRACTICE, BRINGS SKILL. HE HAS ALL THREE.
Did you need you need to say it in all caps?
@@demogod4955 WHAT IS EVERYONE PROBLEM WITH WRITING IN CAPS. I JUST LIKE TO DO IT. IT STANDS OUT ABOVE NORMAL WRITING. ITS NO BIG DEAL! WHY DO YOU CARE?
@@charlottemace1810 because i have the impression that you are yelling at me..
@@Kzalex.
Actually, it used to be the internet form of shouting at someone ... and possibly still is ....
Rust: "You just don't wanna give up do you?"
Sandblaster: "I can do this all day."
Watching the sandblasting is so damn satisfying.
@ronnie doorzon lmao-
Lol
At first I was disappointed you were painting it a dull grey color, but then it came out of that oven/kiln that beautiful blue 😄👍
Tonkas were not primed from the factory. Only painted.
Dios bendiga ése señor es un artista me fascina ver sus videos 😍🙏💯
He usually sticks with original colors. When restoring

Beautiful! I really liked that you didn't show the finished product in the thumbnail. It's fun to be surprised at the end. I'm looking forward to more videos.
A Shipper, I agree with ya. I hate it when they ruin the surprise. The whole point of these is to show the process and outcome of restoring things people throw away. I would rather be surprised with what the item looks like after all the hard work and time has been put into it.
Yes yes yes. Dont show finished product in thumbnail

@A Shipper - I like your point of view and I agree.
@Brandon Gustafson ok
Impressive! No bad music, just equipment and finished product! Keep it up!
You mean no CRAP music
Urg, I really hate it when they add music.
Farid Djoukhadji this comment is interesting to see 😂
it's fortunately pretty typical for these guys not to add that annoying bullshit, most of 'em rarely even speak! laying in some awful techno nonsense they found for free is rather a sign of an amateur, imo. a smart person would take their 3M views and not worry about the extra work of bad music, lol.
I'm impressed with that plastic windshield. It came out really nice.
You have the hands and firm gentle touch of a surgeon. Your tools are like surgical instruments. You raise Tonkas from their graves and breathe new life into them. Simply magical to watch!
Just found your channel yesterday, and I love how relaxing your work is. No loud music, no voice over. Just the natural sounds to whatever you do next to the parts.
Same
I have a Tonka jeep willy's in my garage that I am willing to donate to you just to see it go through restore, I think is still salvageable.
What do you do with your restored toys?
Did you donate that yellow jeep?

as a kid those bend tabs were too tempting! I disassembled EvErYtHiNg!!! Now I like restoration. Haha at least I know how to get them apart. much enjoyment in watching the toys get restored.
It always amazes me how you can tell how much care and detail goes into not just the restoration process but building the toys themselves. They really don't make them like this any more.
One thing I like about your videos is that you legitimately make the objects you're restoring look the way they're supposed to
No added flair, no incredibly colorful or unlikely paint colors. It's all perfect
That may be the most calming satisfying video I've ever watched. Thank you.
You should check out mymechanics here on yt
@@lionofzion81 I was just going to tell him the exact same thing! Tysytube is awesome too and he always reads comments and responds all the time!
Yes!!!!!
It makes it that much better when you can afford all the equipment to be able to restore.. :-)
Todo un profesional, tus trabajos quedan exelentes!! mejor que como nuevos.
he visto cada uno de tus videos y en verdad te felicito la restauracion es de 5 ☆☆☆☆☆.
Saludos...
I miss your videos 😔
What happened?
I could watch things getting sandblasted all day.
Sand blast the homeless!!!😁😁😁
What exactly is sandblasting?
@@andyguzman1574 blasting things with sand
@@FHDTV and what it.means blasting with sand?
@@androgeniko 3:25 Blasting very find sand with high pressured air to carve hard surface or get rid of rust. Sorry for my poor english.
I had this toy truck as a boy. Don't know what happened to it. This video brought back good memories as a boy. Thank you.
Maybe this is that truck
@@bharatAV Yeah , ask for it back.
I just came upon this channel last night and I can't stop watching it. What a skilled and dedicated artist! I will never look at rusty "junk" the same way again. He makes it look so easy but I am positive it takes a lot of patience and know how to handle a project like this. The transformation is simply breathtaking! I wonder what he does with all the things he restores. They should be in a museum!
1958 Ford F100 Stepside! My husband has a real one in the garage!
Hopefully it isn't as rusted as this one
Did they do pearl paints in the 50's? Just curious.
yep
Beautiful truck I say. I would love to have one just like this model, same color with polished oak floorboards in the bed, stainless steel accents.
What color is his?
When that powder coat came out of the oven, I couldn’t believe my eyes! Amazing restoration!
I have been watching your restoration videos sitting across thousands of miles away in India. Kind of satisfaction it gives me is immense. Hats off to your restoration skills. It's truly an art, but it can't be done without having deep knowledge of elements involved in making this restoration possible. Keep up the good work. 👍
Love this comment because I feel the same way you do and I'm from Sweden 😊 well regards to you Milind and to the amazing talent who's connecting us all through his wonderful work.
So satisfying to watch!🤗 The oven was my favorite!
The sand blasting part was oddly satisfying 🤘🏼😂🤘🏼
my favorite part of every restoration! when i’m done with all these i’m gonna find a channel devoted to sandblasting and/or pressure washing!
@@the.memphismassage.therapi7741 haha
9 pm: I'm gonna study hard all night for my finals

Ok then
Ks amk be aere
hahaha
Lmao why am I watching this at 2:30am 😭😭
Thas pretty much what I said
Im wat ching this at 3:57 am
Bet that truck has been pushed many a mile.good job.
So glad you kept the original color! Excellent! Well done 👍🏻
I don’t know if you’ll see this, but I subbed to you at about 1.3k subs. I knew you were gonna blow up quick. Congrats on 1 million man 👍🏻🙂
Caleb Smithwick thanks a lot! I appreciate you being here from the beginning!
I have this exact truck in "barn find" condition and it looks exactly like this one. Mirror image. It was even the same blue metallic. I was helping a friend at an old house he bought to renovate and as I was clearing the overgrown weeds and brush in the backyard I kicked something and there it was. It's on my shelf sitting in all of it's rusted glory. Been researching how to restore it so this video is right on time. Great job and thank you.
This should help you for parts! www.toydecals.com/tonka_parts.htm
You don't happen to be in Canada by chance?
I would be more impressed if you could get a real version of this truck restored in real life. I wanted to do that to a real life version of this truck, which I believe is a Chevrolet Apache, but I lacked the money, experience (as I was only around 13 or 14 at the time), and a sane and stable stepfather that also had enough money to pay for a proper restoration of the truck. I know that it would have looked nice if it was restored.
I think it's a '59 Ford. The Chevy didn't have a flat hood like this does.
Did yours have a tailgate?
Does anyone else think the sand blaster is a game changer? I could watch stuff being sand blasted all day and not get tired of it😁
Suzie Johnson yes
This is giving me second thoughts about getting rid of those rusty Tonka dump truck and mixer in my backyard.
Absolutely outstanding restoration! And I LOVE the way you do your videos! No loud obnoxious music overdub or pointless narration! Just clean editing and letting the work speak for itself! Well Done!
Perfect color. Perfect restoration. Bravo!
I'm VERY impressed! Everything is excellent: Video, sound, pace of the work, sandblast/media blast and powder coating technique, attention to detail and the results.
The shine on the windshield is incredible! Makes me want to tinker in my garage...if only I had your tools in there! lol
The fact that you cleaned and made the glass like brand new unlike the other restoration channels is why I love your work so much
This is probably the most satisfying channel on RUclips.
i agree with both of you.
10:27 I was waiting for this! Not a detail missed
Eh oh Freddie??

Great pickup truck remake, the color you choose was really super, I could see a truck like this actually driving down the road. Keep your videos coming.
I love the powder coating. So satisfying to watch!
WOW! I don't think I've ever seen a better finish on a Tonka truck, perfect color. And the way you restored the tires is brilliant. Thanks for the great reveal!
That made some little child in heaven very happy!
Edit: Unless they are not dead, that too.
Careful, i remember tonka.. And im not dead yet lol
Lol
Haha good job you added that
Normandy Productions that made my day !
The 1960s weren't that long ago...
You are one of the only persons that does a primer, then sand, then top coat. Makes such a huge difference of smooth surface vs. popped mark and clearly nor mint...bravo
This brings it back, had three of the 50's blue Fords. One by it's self and two and a trailer in a set, they were my first Tonka's . Thanks for the memories !
This channel is the literal *RESTORATION 100* meme
Stormcloak Shreds it's awesome 👻
No kidding
Facts
Wow! What an outstanding restoration! That shade of blue is my absolute favorite color. Well Done!
That color! And I love that you properly drill out the rivets when you can, less damage. Beautiful job as always.
LOVE the powder coat. Beautiful restore. 👍🏼 Beautiful truck.
I'm 61 years old. I'm grateful I was young enough to play with Tonka trucks when I boy.
I'm 51 and have one. Lucky me!😎
Randy Prevette you’re not 51.
@@japhetz2124 how do u know?
@@glxxaz6778 how the hell do you know my age? If I don't how old I am then I don't need u to tell.me. I'm a collector. You don't know what I have. Now explain yourself!
@@randyprevette3903 easy dude you replied to the wrong person here. The other guy questioned your age, not the one you tagged. The one you tagged in the reply questioned the other person that said you're not 51. I just want to clear that for you.
The most amazing ing thing is the windshield. I thought it would be a total loss-that’ll teach me to think. Great job.
I've watched and enjoyed your restoration videos.
I don't know what happens to them when you finish. I hope they end up in some children's hands, inspiring imagination and play like many Tonkas did when I was a kid.
I have a granddaughter, and she has just discovered the joy of pushing her toy trucks around on the floor, and the dirt outside.
Seriously i love this channel.... I mean i have zero business with restoration stuff but i love the way this videos are. Direct. No disturbin music. No bs talk which no one wants to hear or scenes which artifically make the video longer than it is.
Just. Perfect.
Wow! You are a master craftsman. For some reason, just watching your videos lowers my blood pressure and reduces anxiety. Thank you.
Relaxing and satisfying-almost therapeutic-to watch one of this restorations. Thanks. MLJ
You're so thorough and careful. I Love watching you work!
Fantastic as always. Bead/sand-blasting is one of the most therapeutic things you can do
There's something so beautiful and satisfying about restoration work. Even if you've never done it. I've had the chance to do a bit with my mate who's a panel beater and you really get a feel for how much effort and love goes into fixing these things
these comments are so heartwarming omg i love this channel ❤️❤️❤️
Man with that talent the amount of customization you could do with car models like this. I'd love to see a full custom paint job. Whatever you can think of that looks good. That'd be a good watch.
It’s neat to see how your techniques have improved from this earlier video. (Showing the Timelapse of the painted parts in the oven, wrapping the tip of the screwdriver in tape to avoid scratching the paint when bending tabs, etc.) Keep it up!
You are an artist, there is something oddly satisfying about watching sandblasting turn back the hands of time. Thank you. Keep broadcasting!!
Наглядный пример когда руки растут из нужного места, это просто потрясающе.
Spooky

This has to be the best channel on RUclips. What an artist!My blood pressure goes down every time I watch his videos. I wish my weight would do the same.....!
That's a next level restoration🔥 it's amazing what you can accomplish with a few simple tools.
Greetings from Mound, Minnesota on beautiful Lake Minnetonka. The home of the original Tonka Toys. You do incredible work!

Yo Disfruto Mucho De Ver Cada Paso De La Restauración ...
Saludos Desde Mi Venezuela !
Amazing what a little sand blasting will do. Love the Tonka line. At one time in life I think my kids had every one of them. Made christmas so easy. That was a great restore. Your a real artist.
The taking apart stage is so impressive! Like how you even know where to begin. Great job!
This ain't his first rodeo. 👍
@@lancerevell5979 Best Tonka Toy is #TonkaRampHoist so expensive and rare 🔎
The Sand Blasting part is so satisfying!
Watching the sandblasting clips is so relaxing and satisfying!
I so admire this type of work. Magic. Making something new of something that anyone would throw away to the dump.
Holy crap that reveal of the final colour when you took the cab out of the oven was sensational! 🙀 Beautiful job.👍
im very amazed from the results of the electrostatic painting. well done
Just plain awesome! Totally appreciate the attention to quality of work done to bring things back to life!
This is a 1958 Pickup #2. It was the only year that the truck had the holes for the tailgate and the plain tires (no whitewalls) and 5 round holed hub caps. Great job on the restoration. I did a 1959 pickup #2 for my channel.
Forfive me that i don't know what you were doing but this was GORGEOUS. I STUMBLED ACROSS THIS VIDEO AND I LOVE THIS
You always restore everything you do better than when it came off the factory line. Good jog. Love to watch your videos!
Great video. You just do the job - no jingo music, no silly jokes. The simplest toys are the best - and that's a truly epic colour you've finished up with there.
I'm sorry to put you under pressure, but we need at least five videos a day like this from you..... masterful work!
Wow bro that is really amazing to see such an old toy come back to life. Nice job. I have a old tonka truck too and I restored mine a while ago
I like what you do, you don’t clickbait or put the finished product in the thumbnail, I subscribed. Nice work.
Something very therapeutic about watching your videos good work
Wow! That truck turned out to be absolutely beautiful after the restoration. I thoroughly enjoy watching your work; it's both fascinating and relaxing.
Such an amazing restore! Love that you combine sandblasting and power coating!
Initially i thought, why didnt you bring the head lights just like the rest to better than new condition....
But actually, it is what i like about this restoration the most. Its top notch restauration and the headlights are a small tip your hat to the age of this toy. I doubt, that the truck ever looked this good.
Thank you for creating and sharing this video. Looking forward to your next projects.
Sempre admiro como vocês, restauradores, conseguem dar vida nova a esses objetos! Trabalho perfeito e muito bonito, parabéns...!
Bravo! Another beautifully finished restoration.
And thank you for no background music. And no talking/commentary. I do like the occasional explanatory subtitles you add for clarity. Otherwise you let the work speak for itself!
Thank you again
Your sandblasting is always so satisfying to watch. Fantastic work!
Nice to have a set up to powder coat and oven to bake the finish! That is one ultra durable and beautiful job well done!
I was wondering what was going on in that step...thx for clearing that up.
Poor boy like me have to use rattle cans and sandpaper.
I do detailing on the side. Love to see you using the M105 and 205. I actually like the M100 a bit better and have now stepped up to the newer 210, but they all do an awesome job. I use them for headlight restoration.
Outstanding work! Love the color and all the expert work. Amazing how the windshield could be saved too.
That's a restoration well worth doing , and well done! Beautiful work . Thanks.
This is the best Tonka restoration ever...great job¡¡¡
I found this channel a couple of days ago and am already addicted not just the sand blasting and the powder coating but the clarity of process and use of tools.
Невероятные вещи , шедеврально. Ювелирный мастер !!!! 👌👌👌🤗🤗🤗👏👏👏👏👏
I found your channel this morning and have binge watched the most fabulous and relaxing videos to date.
Thank you.
This is what real restoration is like. Unlike the thousands of videos on RUclips that just paint over the rust and wipe of some dirt.

I didn’t find him removing the rust.
@@jaypatil2235 he sand blasted it to remove the rust

@@StandWithRussia take it that reply wasn't for me as I was agreeing with u
This is literally perfect. I can't get over how cute it is
This is by far my favorite restoration. Love the truck and the color. Sometimes I think it would be neat for him to take the a bit further with some details and lights, but I'm happy with the work none the less.
