No TV fake crap added on.. He needs us to like share and subscribe .help his RUclips channel to grow ! on TV they take over every thing of his.. His Instagram..etc now he can grow this channel with us helping and he will make money and do thangs his way... But I know what you meant by wanting him back because TV nowadays is trash..
Dear Rick, I do miss you and your program... I have been a fan for you and your team work, and you are an inspiration for me... your are not only restoring things and make it work, but you also have a lot of histories behind the things... thank you, and it is nice to see you again!
It's great you released another video! I was worried you'd given up on RUclips. Please keep it up, I love your content and many thousands of others will too once they find it.
After decades of fixing anything with a gas motor, no tech school, but landed in a dealership as a service tech because I needed sick pay and vacation was nice. But after watching “American Restorations” I was amazed at the ingenuity of the American Inventor and the mechanisms, gear drive, cam action that hundreds of parts come together even durning the 19th century. Rick Dale has to calculate in his head the number of man-hours for each part of the operation plus parts, materials, chroming, sandblasting, painting and still make a profit. It takes a team with talent, even simple jobs all on something that they have never seen inside before! My hat is off to him and his infectious excitement during the reveal of the finished product. I could look at a simple rear door latch off any passenger car. Look at the number of functions it has. Inside disconnect for kids (Never had that), latch, lock, un-lock, secondary latch, outside release, inside release, etc. I can’t imagine the guy who designed the first one. Others copied it then added what is today modern door latch. Rick, I have been to Vegas twice before for work, never gamble, but I would shake your hand! ASE master tech since 1978, retired. DK, Omaha.
Good to see you back Rick! As I was out there, maybe 8 years ago or more & enjoyed the tour & meeting you in person. And what impressed me most was your knowledge and finding out the History of it all. & having the ability to restore things when it looks impossible to me. And most of all, you gave me the confidence to do the same in some levels. And Thanks to people like you! Pushcart Jimmy
Hey Rick, you may remember me. My name is Bill Cochell I sold you the house on Jones you started from. I lived in the back house and my partner was buying the house on a contract for sale and transfer it to you. I’m sure you can’t forget that character that held the mortgage. Anyway I’ve been following you over the years and delighted in your success! I lived in Vegas for 20 years the best years of my life boy do I miss it!,
Lately I’ve been enjoying rewatching AR on Defy TV and realizing how much I liked the informative realism of the work involved in the restoration process...don’t care so much for the drama/banter scenarios though. The show inspired me to dive into some of my own machine restorations.
@@alphabeets The Repair Shop from the BBC is also pretty good but most of their restorations are too finiky for my liking. Fortunately, there are restoration channels of all sorts on YT now...Hand Tool Rescue is great though the absolute lack of any talking can sometimes get a little boring. I'm yet to find anything that hits that sweet spot of giving informative restoration advice, a little charisma, and is on target with the old machines I like to restore. I'm curious to see where Restoration Rick takes the channel too. So far I'm a 50/50 fan of the channel.
@@realrickharrison3103 You're one to talk...Pawn Stars is about 90% unnecessary [scripted?] drama. lol. Seriously, there is a lot of appeal seeing the craftsmanship involved in the skilled restoration of an object. It's unfortunate that the History Channel only wants to focus on the shenanigans.
was looking for some episodes of AR, right now when i found your channel, hope that you can make youtube your new home / platform to showcase your restorations. cheers from Philippines.
Estimado Rick, extrañamos mucho tus episodios; ojalá que produscas al menos..contenido por internet. No había visto que tenías un canal. Muchas gracias por hacer bien tu trabajo y hacer que muchos de nosotros, podamos conocer cosas del pasado y como se restauran. Saludos.
its a Koken "Club" chair, mid 50s to early 60s. Koken "President" has two tone trim on the side panels instead on the virtical trim pieces on the side panels like this one.
Echoing many others, I really miss seeing Rick’s Restoration on History Channel. I have no idea what the reasons may have been, be it contracts, health issues, someone getting into criminal trouble, disagreements between the company and the channel, etc. I guess it’s a private matter we may never know, but I really wish that I did. When the show was changed, I stopped watching. Part of the appeal was Rick’s shop itself and his people. I work in television, so I understand some of the frustrations. It can be a harsh business. I hope these videos on the RUclips channel get lots of views, and Rick’s business and health of he and his family and crew are doing well.
Glad you're out of the rat race, nothing like being around drama all the time to have it invade your REAL life. Hope you feel less stress, less living in a fish bowl, and happier life (wife). Back to be careful what you wish for,,,,,

Rick you do good work

Keep posting sir. Thanks
It's good to see Rick again.
Good to see you again too
@@realrickharrison3103 You've truly been missed. You had a great show and always wishing the best for you.
This guy is the best. Loved his show
Cool to see Rick . American restoration had a big effect on me i loved the series.
So great to see you back at it Rick. Big fan of yours over here in the UK.
Lately I’ve been enjoying rewatching AR on Defy TV and realizing how much I liked the informative realism of the work involved in the restoration process...don’t care so much for the drama/banter scenarios though. The show inspired me to dive into some of my own machine restorations.
Yeah, the drama and stupid talk between the workers got to be too much. I want to learn something when I watch. This series is much better.
The producers tried to make it into the next Kardashians or something and it lost all direction and its original purpose.

Yeah when they added Leonard it was just bullshit at that point

Man I miss your show
Favorite show 😍 missing it
Love the videos!!!!! Can’t wait for more would love to see the progress on Tyler’s truck!!!!🤙🤙
When I was a kid, I used to go to my dads barber. He had one style as most barbers did and that was short.
The show still airs!!!!! I watch ricks restoration reruns on the quest channel where I live and they play reruns pretty cool💪

It's pre-war because it has an ashtray for when everybody smoked everywhere doing everything.
Did you make a video on how to disassemble the koken presidential?
Any idea why the chair comes down very slowly on a koken president chair
I hear KOKEN is the real deal and kills all these $500 Amazon fake barber chairs that break in 6 months

He punched an imbecile employee in the face and they cancelled his show
Awesome.
Hi Rick, my name is DWAYNE. I watch your show all the time and love your work. I has six old is Barber and Chers can you please restore them for me
You’ll have to reach out to rick through his website. Not sure if he is still doing restorations. We shot these back in 2021 during the pandemic.
Beaut chair, I got offered a koken chair yrs ago, I had no way of getting it tho 😭
Sir I'm your big fan
Does anybody know how much a koken president chair weighs ?
Hey Rick! Big fan of your show. For $100 you can get a wireless mic pack that plugs directly into the camera that way we can hear you clearly
Glad you're out of the rat race, nothing like being around drama all the time to have it invade your REAL life. Hope you feel less stress, less living in a fish bowl, and happier life (wife). Back to be careful what you wish for,,,,,
very good! I'm your fan, you're a magician!✨🙌✨⚡✋😃✌️
