@@scottandrews62 yet there are numerous restoration channels that replace every single piece where convenient. Basically rebuilding instead of restoring

I just discovered the world of youtube restoration videos a week or so ago and I absolutely love your channel. There's something so peaceful and uplifting about watching old, neglected objects lovingly brought back to their former glory. Maybe it's silly, but watching a stove or coffee grinder be restored is my new favorite way to unwind after work. I've always liked antiques and vintage objects and it does my heart good to see that some people are still dedicated to preserving them. (Also, I like your orange kitty!)
These things were dumped out by foundaries like there was no tomorrow. It's just a box with some cast iron decorative parts screwed together. Cast iron isn't used as much these days, but if you look at the stove tops or barbeque grills - that kind of thing.
That is a lot of idealising the past. You only find actual stunning craftsmanship in high class luxury items of the time or in anything that predates the industrial revolution. They are pretty and well made anyways thpugh. People of the time would think not more than a few seconds about switching to what we use for cooking and heating nowadays for way less money than what they had to spend on for fuel.
Love the Art Neuveau style of decoration on the enamelled parts of this stove Theres something so fundemental about mankind working with metals Im female & have loved metal working all my life Even though i worked in mental health my relax & unwind go to was working in metal I qualified in MIG & TIG welding Worked on restorations & new projects & later worked with precious metals in jewellery I love these programmes Its IS so relaxing but even better when your doing it yourself You get lost in working & time doesn't exist Thank you so much for this Its a beautiful stove
@@user-jm6cl6fj1l Those 50s fridges are super inefficient on power and if they have a freezer you have to clear all the ice build-up pretty often and have way less room typically , they look cool and last but really aren't worth keeping around as an every day appliance, unless your like 90
Just imagine how proud some woman was when she had this stove set up in her family’s house. She probably had her neighbors over for tea to show off this lovely green stove. Beautiful
I cannot tell you how much I respect your talent, craftsmanship like yours is, unfortunately, a disappearing art. I have always loved the beauty of older objects and it saddens me when I see them being destroyed rather than restored. I so enjoyed this video. Thank you.
72 yr. old grandmother here for first time, watched up all the other restoration channels, so RUclips sent me here. I love this stuff. Not that I will attempt anything, I can't put a nail in the wall straight. I also have a wood stove and have a fondness for them.
I actually saw someone asking this on a different restoration channel and the person replyed with, ton of pictures and rewatching the footage. Which makes sense since you'll possibly forget after a couple of days so its good to keep notes.
For those interested as I am in antiques, this is an enamelled cast iron Art Nouveau wood stove from Le Brulbois, Fonderies Arthur Martin. It would be nice to see the names of the items you restore in case other's are interested like I am in acquiring one. Beautiful restoration, however!
@@vietnamthemedgamesteam5749 well, Art Nouveau was popular between 1890 and 1910, I would say this beauty is from 1903 so can you imagine all the things this little stove has seen especially in France with two world wars? Just a magnificent piece of funcional art work.
It breaks my heart to see pieces like this so warped and rusted. The piece itself is a work of art. I love to see new life breathed into items like this.
Out of ALL the restoration videos I have watched, this is the one I admire most. It is a gorgeous stove and deserved to be lovingly restored and this man did it perfectly.
I always wondered why this was and is the most popular colour for stoves. They sell the remakes with this very colour im the big box hardware stores. Also it wasn't limited to metal stoves. As an East German I've seen quite a lot of coal heating in my childhood and they all had a nasty cheap ceramic version of this green. Maybe this enamel pigment was cheap and durable? It can't only be a choice of fashion. People would have picked blue and red at one point.
@@Hortifox_the_gardener this is just pure speculation, but I know in america in like, the late ish 1800s, green, especially bright green was super popular for kitchens, like people would paint their kitchens or dining rooms bright green because they thought the color aided in digestion. (it didn't, in fact the green paint they used was super full of arsenic) so maybe thats something to do with it??? idk
absolutely stunning job! green is my favourite colour! I love that you didn't over do the restoration, just cleaned it up, fixed the missing bits, and got it working again! A joy to watch, thank you
Too stunning for words. Imagine walking into someone’s living room & this is sitting in the fireplace ! ❤️😍🥰. Delighted to see its first use was to make some delicious proper coffee!
Hot salt bluing ( the process which makes the steel on guns black) is essentially the same as this. Just a more controlled coating of the oxide. And because its an oxide no new oxide can form on it with ease so its rust resistant.
The heat hardened the metal.... the process, what also changes its color :) I started with video about old soviet motor bike restauration... and now Im here :D I do not know why I am watching videos like these... but this is cool. You just can not stop watching :) Its mesmerizing. And the result... its just amazing :)
Очень нравится ваша работа. Браво. Случайно попал на ваш канал, теперь не могу оторваться, смотрю все подряд и все нравится. Буду дальше смотреть. Удачи вам, вы хороший мастер.
Very nice restoration job. I be proud to own a little woodstove like that. There are so many unique antique woodstoves out there I'd love if you could do a restoration on the large old kitchen woodstove that was used to heat the home and to do the cooking for the family. Your work is very remarkable 👏👌
Love this one, fantastic piece! I love when old things get a new life. I've restored some old kitchen pieces by hand - a coffee grinder and a couple of pots and pans, love seeing your restorations with proper tools! Makes me want to take a metal work class!
Absolutely amazing restoration. I'm glad the green enameling stayed in such good shape, cause that's the real eye-catcher. Also thank you Assistant Avril for the inspections! :D
I for one have to say thank you for not trying to "fix" that enameled cast iron, seen far too many things similar to this where people want to modernize via spray paint or similar.
Incredible work, love the green, I love that you didn’t touch the enamel and kept as much of the original stuff as possible, that’s what restoration is all about.
So viele Arbeit. Ich wusste nicht, dass so ein Ofen aus so vielen Teilen besteht. Du machst es sehr gut und ruhig, ohne unnötigen Lärm, so dass man es auch als Frau gern schaut!
Вот это реставрация!!! С ювелирной точностью. Золотые руки у мастера!!! Восторг и восхищение!!! Как здорово, когда можно дать вторую жизнь эксклюзивным предметам и вещам !!!
I find it fascinating to watch people like you refurbish sometimes seeming irreparable items and how you accomplish your work. Interesting and educational. I do not have the equipment nor the dexterity to do those things so Just enjoy watching you. Thank you.
True, but it's not steel it's cast iron which is porous, and when it expands from the heat carbon gets trapped slowly changing the chemical structure of the iron
What a fantastic restoration! This is such a beautiful stove now. One thing I love about all the restorations is that the items become usable again and we can see that. Watching these is meditative.
WOW! The time, the skill, the tools, the precision and care. Didn't think you would be able to save the green but so glad you did. Where are you. I have an old heater that belonged to my grandmother (and I am 74) that I would love to have restored and it is not nearly in the condition of this stove you restored.
One of the best restoration projects I’ve seen in a while! Well done and it looks fabulous after your kind hands have returned this beautiful stove/fireplace to its former glory.

You do wonderful work and thank you so much for sharing. Loved Ginger cats inspection. Well done! So happy to know there are artisans mastering, caring and loving the restoration process.❤❤❤😊
Your attention to detail is amazing, most people would have just replaced that broken piece with a some square stock,grinding it to the same design/radius is going the extra mile which is why I keep watching your channel. Pre-heating the cast iron is something a lot of people new to welding don't do,being as porous as cast iron is it holds a lot of dirt/oils. Another thing a lot of people would also have tried was to "band-aid" that metal inner box, glad you just scrapped it and made a new one, as always great job, looking forward to the next one.
Wow! My dad would've loved watching these restorations! When you popped that square in and it was dead on i could almost hear my dad say and thats how it's done!
A tip for welding footage: Just take an old extra welding mask(or buy a cheap one) and put the camera inside it, that way the light isn't intense enough to burn the sensors in the camera. EDIT: Also might be a good idea to use low ISO along with the mask, just in case.
Amazing. I love your videos. No talking, no music. And everything ist done with respect and love for the material and object. This stove would be perfect for a campervan. 🥰
Cat timestamps here I found: 12:04 - Avril checking the new metal almost box. Cats love box 24:15 - Quality control time. Employee Avril on duty. Cat jump of approval. 30:41 - Orange fluff strolling. A part of the screen is covered (only tail tip is visible to me), but it should be Avril Welding can damage the eyes too. Even if a video of welding is safe (at least it should be), better safe than sorry, and it might help viewers get used to not staring at welding irl. Thanks for the video, the stove looks pretty good. May God bless you.
Great video. Learned a lot. The cat was a delightful distraction doing what cats do. Beautiful restoration. Wood stoves hold a special place for me...I was named after my great grandmother, whom was named after one!
I am obsessed with this Porcelain Cast Iron Stoves. To see you restore one is a dream come true for me. The colors are so vibrant. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you,this is so calming,the way it was filmed , felt like I was actually helping in the workshop,& the end result ...stunning,a functional beautiful piece of art.

It looks like a piece of McCoy pottery.
Wouldn't be surprised if it was made out of some toxic substance!! Its very pretty indeed
I agree. Its really unique..
Indeed, very beautyful. A wonderful stove too worth restoring.
Probably Paris green. It's that really beautiful emerald color that was popular in the 19th century until people found out arsenic is extremely toxic
Beautiful restoration. Restored to a functional state without destroying it’s history. Only replace what can’t be repaired. Good job!

Well done! I love these old stoves. To see them fully restored and functional is a real treat.
The end result (especially the depth of color) is spectacular!
Wow! My dad would've loved watching these restorations! When you popped that square in and it was dead on i could almost hear my dad say and thats how it's done!
I love love love the way things used to be made to last. Workmanship was a thing of pride once upon a time. Beautiful piece and great job !
I'm so glad you keep the original green enamel paint. It is soooo mesmerising! Keep up the good work!
What a beautiful oven..I love how you took care of it to bring it back to his old glory....and Kitty approved your work as well ❤
Wow! You put so much heart into this restoration. It’s a beautiful piece! Thank you for sharing.
That was stunning. Thank you for restoring such a beautiful piece of history!
A tip for welding footage: Just take an old extra welding mask(or buy a cheap one) and put the camera inside it, that way the light isn't intense enough to burn the sensors in the camera.
EDIT: Also might be a good idea to use low ISO along with the mask, just in case.
Pretty sure that is exactly what This Old Tony does when he films his welding ...
Pretty effective by the looks of it ...
I actually like it Makes him more like a mad Scientist.
Amazing. I love your videos. No talking, no music. And everything ist done with respect and love for the material and object. This stove would be perfect for a campervan. 🥰
Реставрация старых, добротных вещей это волшебство, требующее много знаний, навыков, мастерства!
Спасибо реставраторам!
This was amazing to watch! I love how it turned out. I also love your quality control department (the kitty!)!
What an amazing restoration! I absolutely love this stove and it's green color. Incredible job!
Astonishing restoration on a gorgeous piece of manufacturing genius....
Третий час ночи,а я не могу оторваться от экрана,как от детектива,интересно,а,что дальше будет!Мастер с большой буквы,золотые руки!
Но сколько деталей погибло - их придётся изготовить заново. Потрясающая воображение работа
Именно! Продолжение следует! !!
МАЭСТРО! ! ! БРАВООО! !!
Cat timestamps here I found:
12:04 - Avril checking the new metal almost box. Cats love box
24:15 - Quality control time. Employee Avril on duty. Cat jump of approval.
30:41 - Orange fluff strolling. A part of the screen is covered (only tail tip is visible to me), but it should be Avril
Welding can damage the eyes too. Even if a video of welding is safe (at least it should be), better safe than sorry, and it might help viewers get used to not staring at welding irl.
Thanks for the video, the stove looks pretty good. May God bless you.
Many meows of approval .
I thought he was gonna roast the 🐈
@@kagtiiii That would bring a million views for sure.
The reason he didn't saw the welding is because he didn't want spatter on the lens.
Great video. Learned a lot. The cat was a delightful distraction doing what cats do. Beautiful restoration. Wood stoves hold a special place for me...I was named after my great grandmother, whom was named after one!
I am obsessed with this Porcelain Cast Iron Stoves. To see you restore one is a dream come true for me. The colors are so vibrant. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you,this is so calming,the way it was filmed , felt like I was actually helping in the workshop,& the end result ...stunning,a functional beautiful piece of art.
Ridiculously satisfying 🤩 the perfect 90 degree angle, the color and shine, and the cat and coffee in the end! Amazing ❤️
i cannot get over how pretty that stove is, that is a beautiful green it came in
How gorgeous the green details are, beautiful piece, so glad for the excellent restoration, showcasing your great skills and patience, and the original creativity of the makers, fine feline quality control check 🥰 thankyou!.
it's incredibly satisfying to watch these restoration videos, even if someone else is doing the restoration, the finished results are just impeccable!
You know sh*t is about to get real when the concrete comes out in a restoration video
Ciment fondu
I love french...we have funny words
It really goes to show what a ide variety of skills are required when doing this kind of work
Fire stone not concrete. That is why it is crumbly.
That is the most beautiful stove I have ever seen, and your skills are amazing, I am a little bit jealous 😍
Very nice! Of all the cottage stoves I have seen, I never seen one with such interesting exterior designs
Какая красота! Глаз не оторвать! Мастеру тысячу раз Браво! Браво вашим рукам и вашей голове. Спасибо за красоту.
Every times I see the Dramatic Welding Light-effects I expect someone to yell "It's alive!!" XD
That made me snort, ha ha! Shades of "Young Frankenstein" !

And never say "Blucher!" to a horse...
At last, a great restoration to working condition on a very worthy antique stove. I hope it finds itself installed into someone's home and is in use this coming winter.
These videos are really relaxing Its awesome to see what the final product looks like as well.
