I've watched a few 'restoring' videos in my time, but this one is superb, what a fantastic job you've done on that beautiful club! Probably even better than when it rolled out of the factory.
That's a great compliment. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
That is what I call entertainment. Great job Brad!
Great timing. Between family, work, cars breaking down, and this damn economy I needed a good calming moment.
I remember last year I was in a funk, and you checked in on me here. I appreciated that. I guess this hobby bonds us all a bit. Glad the video was a bit of peace in your day.
This is so well done. I've done my own club restorations for function but this is above and beyond. I now wanna find an old blade set like this and bring them to life with new shafts. This is epic!
Brad you are a wizard with the restoring. If you ever start a business doing this I’ll send you my set of old Wilson staff blades. I’m dying for this kind of restoring work. Love the videos!
All the clubs look like new. I can imagine this very satisfying seeing the end results!!
It's really rewarding to see their transformations.
So pure, so clean.
Watching you do your craft is a meditative experience. Very enjoyable
I have been eagerly waiting for this video. I started this hobby because of your videos and have been just wanting an in depth step by step
Dude, you are so talented. I've just got my first grinder and a few attachments. I'm so looking forward to diving into this hobby. Also, thank you for posting your Amazon lists. It makes it much easier to find what I need. Please, please, please keep making these videos.
Thanks for the nice compliment. I'm glad you're giving it a try. I have more tutorials on the way!
I have a full set of these exact clubs, planning on restoring them in the next couple weeks! Great video as always 👍
Did you end up restoring them? Did you purchase the same equipment Brad has to restore them? I also purchased this same set of vintage titlesist irons with the goal of restoring them. Without the specialized equipment and chemicals I’m wondering what the best result could potentially be.
My two passions! Golf and restoration.
Also.. this dudes got a good sense of humour! I’d definitely have a “soft drink” with him 😂
Mine too! I'm glad you liked it. Soft drinks on me!
One has to give credit when its due 10/10 excellente workmanship Thanks
Thank you for the nice comments!
This could be the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen
Thank you! I'd love it if you shared with your golf mates!
FINALLY! I have a set of Titleist 731PM and this is a great comparison as I’ve been wanted to diy polish them.
Cheers mate.
real clean! good work brother.
Thanks, man. The nice comments keep me going!
All that for someone to never hit a 3 iron 😆 - absolutely beautiful resto. So awesome!
Great job
Nice. A lot of love went into that restoration. Looks new and it was fun to watch the process. I often wonder what some of these older clubs sound like when hit perfectly.
Wow incredible
Always a pleasure watching your informative videos. Thanks
I have these irons and they are amazing. Especially the shorter irons. Pitching through to 7. Cant miss. I got second hand and mine were shiny. Mayb they were done up. Great job
wow. i could watch hundreds of these ...so good 👍
I’ve never watched anything more enjoyable.
Thank you. My new favorite is the Tommy Armour I did recently. Such a relaxing transformation: ruclips.net/video/7cHgNXfcG3M/видео.html
Thanks for all the great videos! I recently got some Ben Hogan irons from the 70's (I think). I gave them a vinegar bath and scrubbed the rust off pretty well but now I'm thinking the next step would be to polish out the scratches with 220 grade sandpaper? I don't have a machine to polish them, so I'll have to do it by hand. If you could offer me any advice on next steps, I would be very grateful. Thanks again for the great videos!
Quite unbelievable.
🤯👏
Love it. Thank you. Check out the tutorials if you want to give it a try. I also have a Facebook group for help.
@@BradMeehan I´ve already bought 2 sets of old 681/690 Titleist Forged irons in much better condition than ones shown in your video that I´m going to try and refurb. with whatever materials I´ve got (not much)
(you´ve inadvertantly going to get me into _serious_ trouble with the wife as Im already looking at more on e-Bay! lolol)
I wish I could have found this hobby 50 yrs ago...
I restored a full set of these last year then sold then for £200. Great video as always Brad
Incredible transformation
So good. Love restoring golf clubs
One of my first sets. What a job.
Thank you. What's great about this channel is that I'm learning that every club has a story or connection with someone in some way. Thanks for watching. I'd love it if you shared it with a friend!
Another stunning transformation
Outstanding. Thank you for sharing
Amazing work mate. Love watching your craftsmanship all the way from Australia.
Always amazing. Just beautiful.
I really enjoy the content of your channel! Such an amazing transformation! I enjoy watching these clubs come roaring back to life! I have started down the path of learning more about the process mostly cleaning, face blasting, sanding/polishing and painting. But so many clubs really need plating. I’m still trying to better understand that process through your videos. Thank you for putting them together!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching. I made a facebook group to help you along with questions. We have about 1100 members now that contribute if you want to check it out: facebook.com/groups/diygolf/
Thank you! That is a big group! I look forward to learning from them!
Another great video/lesson. I appreciate the step-by-step breakdown. Thanks as always.
I watched you do the mizuno iron and was impressed that was probably better as the iron looked to be in a worse state top work pal
Any way to get a detailed list of your equipment? I’d love to take this on as a hobby. How durable is the nickel finish you’re putting on the club? Do you restore a rusty shaft or replace it? Your work is absolutely amazing!! Bringing a beautiful club like this back to like new, or even better is incredible and has to be very satisfying!!
Gorgeous iron!
Wow, above and beyond what I was expecting
Awesome. I'm glad you liked it. The Titleist Vokey video seems to be a popular one if you want to check out more restorations:
ruclips.net/video/eUVwzxKgnfU/видео.html
I want to be good at repairing golf clubs like you....I want to learn how to do it.
That was more zen-ful than 2 hours of yoga.
This was extremely satisfying to watch
That's the goal! Just chill out and relax and watch the transformation... It's total StonerVision
Love your videos, my family name is Meehan. Small world
Incredible Job!
another gem saved
I have this brand new in box, since 1983. maybe I should sell them
Beautifully soporific just what I needed before I went to bed - great to see these restorations 👍🏌️⛳️
Perfect comment right here. This is the vibe. Club gets restored, you get restored. 🧘♂️
Beautiful !
Thanks!
Price of art👍
My goodness. I have a Northwestern 1i that looks a lot like the before. Might be time to buy that electroless kit!
Out of this world good! Well done
Thanks!
Mesmerising! That’s amazing!
Oddly satisfying. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Absolutely beautiful work
Thank you!
Looks awesome! What's the difference between the first nickel application and the 2nd?
Fantastic work.
Thank you. This one was a great transformation!
I've got a set of Maxfli Australian Blades 4-PW that need this done to them. Great video!!
Sweet. Check out my Australian Blade video! This will be perfect for you: ruclips.net/video/Iuj2BTndUI8/видео.html
glad i found your videos, also Meehan is my family name. small world
I rarely cross paths with other Meehans! Thanks for watching 👀
Wonderful job Brad! 😊
Hi, Mark! Thank you!
amazing job! was just gifted a set of well used mizuno mx23 irons 3-pw that i'm going to try this on to bring back to new! thanks for the great tutorials!
Awesome. You're welcome. I have a mizuno video from the past year that turned out cool. Take a look when you get a chance.
Turned out fantastic! Keep up the amazing work.
Thank you. I like this one a lot.
Very nice work . It came out like it's brand new . Like always keep up the good work and your videos . I enjoy every minute of your work .
Hi, Manuel! Thank you for checking in. I hope your projects are coming along!
Nice work!
Awesome work. Have you hit your clubs after restoration?
This is amazing! How do you restore the grooves? Do you have to widen them?
Beautiful
Awesome as always!
Appreciate it!
great💛
Awesome job Brad! Keep them coming.
Do you ever Re-Shaft these club heads and play with them or is this just a keeper club head for your collection. Does the media blasting help the face become more playable if used again or just for looks more? Nice work very oddly satisfying and something I might want to do at my uncle's since he has some of these tools already, now just need to find the right clubs to do the work too
Excellent😊
"for the homies" pour earned a sub on top of all the great content. thank you
lol. Thanks for catching that!
Thats nice, always wanted a set of these...
Looks like you might be from Michigan. Hi from a fellow Michigander!
Yessir! Grew up in Grand Rapids, but I'm in Kansas City now!
Could you do a Scotty putter for me by chance 😅
What a beaut
Brilliant 👌🏻
Dang that’s a neat iron, I’ve never seen Titleist with a capital E in the script
Hey Brad, would you consider having a membership or subscription type of channel so our subscription would have access to have your advice etc?
This is the same set that I’d like to restore. Having played with every modern iron under the sun, having bought and sold the latest sets of Mizunos and Titleists and TaylorMade irons I wanted to do something more personal. With a story behind it. This is exactly what I want to do, but without the specialized equipment, what would you recommend for the best results?
You are amazing
Thanks! YOU are!
bravo!
B rad, do you need to worry about any toxic fume from the plating baths methods you use?
another beauty
Thank you!
OMG beautiful... imagine if you could find the rest of that set? I'm sure they'd be worth $$$...but i would be torn between selling them and putting them in my bag. But i would probably sell them after one round after realizing i'm not that good. LOL Great work!
Haha. There is a lot of satisfaction from doing this. I hope you give it a try.
If i wanted just the brushed steel look, is there a protectant i could put on it to keep it like that
If it's a forged club and there's bare steel, you'd be better trying the brush plating kit and covering with a layer of nickel to protect it. Might take 10 minutes. Using a spray like wd40 would stall it, but it's still going to corrode again. You could also re-brush finish them if it gets bad.
If they're cast clubs, they won't rust, so you can just leave them brushed.
I got an older set of Founders Club The Judge heads. You want me to send them to you to have at it?
Stunning! Lighthouse?
I was in Ludington, Michigan a few weeks ago. Gorgeous. I grew up Michigan.
@@BradMeehan looks like a 19th century lighthouse like the ones at cape cod or in Maine
Hey Brad, I’ve dipped my toes in the club refurbishing waters. I started with some traditional belts but thought they may be too aggressive. I bought 2S and 3S scotch brite wheels and they don’t seem aggressive enough because of how long it’s taking. I understand it’s not a super fast process. How long would you say it took you to get the club from 1:40 to 1:50 in the video? Thanks!
Also curious
Love the videos. more or less, how much weight are you removing with the sanding/polishing and then adding with the plating? cheers
I got you:
ruclips.net/video/ILSuEPAtgtg/видео.htmlfeature=shared
I have a full set of these exact irons (2 iron even has the original grip!)
They were my dads and he gave them to someone in the family and I assumed they were ultimately sold or given away at some point. About 10 years after my dad passed away, my uncle sent me a message as he had found them cleaning out his basement and wondered if I wanted them!
I’ve been wanting to get them restored to this level, but haven’t had the time, equipment, or knowledge to do it. Is this something you would do for a fee?
Hi Brad, your videos are amazing. Do you reshaft the heads onto the old shafts or do you typically put new shafts on? Also can you get the plastic ferrules that match the vintage ones? Thanks!
Thank you. I put the old shafts back on. You can find.vintsge ferrules on ebay or take a look at BB&F Co. They make really cool replacements with some vintage options.
Wow
class
everything so close
Is there a Dewalt hand drill attachment I can use instead of using the wheel for polish?
Are you going to start milling club faces?
Pure Zen is RIGHT!
Can you specify the link to the scotch brite belt I see so many and would like to try this in the near future.
Thank you!
Sure thing. Here you go:
