      There’s a pretty cool channel where a guy still makes candy in a shop with similar machines. Not anything I would follow but cool if you need a relevant distraction.
      Edit: what the f is going on in the bottom of these comments? The channel I was talking about is brought up but I can’t even find the reply now. Just don’t interact with these comments.

    So this guy is an expert in powder coating, metal working, wood working, sandblasting, milling, finishing, mechanics, knows how to brass plate with heat, and can cook sugar to the perfect temperature without burning it (very tricky for the inexperienced) to make hard candy. What a beautiful restoration and display of an impressive array of skills!

    Considering this tool is from 1871, it was in really good condition. Minimal rusting, very few stuck or broken pieces, and still 'worked' without restoration. It's amazing how well some old tools were made compared to some things we get today that barely last for a few months. The end product was simply beautiful as well, great job!

      It's less insane than you'd imagine. Stuff was built a lot tougher back then. You won't see this stuff happening in 150 years to current items. The polymers would all dry/rot/stiffen up, so if there are restorations like this in the future it's going to be automated 3D printing stuff, not actually restoring the product.

    As a classic car enthusiast, I know that a “full restoration” is almost a unicorn. The people selling such have wide ranging definitions for restoration. The only one used by classic car purists is when the subject has been returned to the exact condition it was in when it left the manufacturer. This means restoring things that will never be seen after reassembly, requiring the complete dismantling of it - every nut, bolt and screw. This candy machine was restored to perfection.

    I am a huge fan of the My Mechanics channel so when I decided to watch this video, with no knowledge at all of your channel, I did so with reluctance and low expectations ... I've never been so wrong about anything in my life.
    The amount of tools in your shop is amazing. Powdered coat paint?? Wow, just wow.
    Lighting, multiple angles, high definition footage, no talking, real sounds, appropriate speed up footage, superb editing, incredible attention to detail, plus dude learned to make hard candy at the end and demonstrated how this device actually works vs. ending the video at the completion of the finished, restored product ... I'm speechless.
    The icing on the cake? How devout My Mechanics followers spotted how you pay him homage by stating, "I'll make a new one".
    I smiled the entire time I saw the candy being rolled out the other end. You sir have earned a new subscriber. Mad respect.
