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!
Well said, but you did forget to mention producing, lighting, recording video and audio, and editing these masterfully sensory videos together (perhaps the most difficult achievement of all if you consider their popularity and mileage)! Bravo to this wunderkind! 👏
The part I love the most about this is that there’s no annoying music in the background. You’re just allowed to enjoy and admire the sounds of tools going to work in a very silent and calm environment. Great video.
A few others do it, but seldom put it in the video. My Mechanics and Hand Tool Rescue both have done it in the past, but I personally prefer to have it in the video. Hope the channel reactivates someday.
I was like "WAIT THERES MORE" at every turn! Making candy with it in the end was absolutely delightful oh my gOD. I may have said it before on a different video, but that powder painting and baking always is my favorite part watching it go from a powder to shiny. Absolute master at your craft and this came out stunning!
Don't mean to be "that guy" but the process is called powder coating. It's really common and pretty easy to actually do, and it's especially common in the aftermarket automotive parts industry.
You should check out lofty pursuits on RUclips! They make lots of candies with an identical tool for their public displays of confection! And you get to learn something in every video!
@@MYLAR. Fair enough, I really don't like people who try to be smarter than everyone else. My best friend started a powder coating business not too long ago and I helped him get set up so I know a little about it.
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!
sadly companies are motivated by money, and the most efficient way to make money is for the same people to keep buying your products when they break… companies that made durable things never had any repeat customers. they usually go bankrupt.
Made by 100% lead... Most old items are made with pure materials hence they last long. These days resources are pricey.. So all opt for cheaper materials higher quantity of products hence more profit
Man, I miss this channel. Back in college when I was at my lowest and really close to suicide (nights were definitely the worst part of the day), these videos were the only thing that would lull me to sleep, years later I’m doing better and still grateful for them.

You can imagine my delight at seeing this transformation, as Thomas Mills was my maternal great-grandfather! Thank you for your effort. It brought joy and wonder to me and my siblings to watch this.
Can I ask you a question? My grandfather was in the candy making business and has some of these rollers. One we have says M&M and is square in shape. Does that stand for Mills and Mills? We treasure these brass rollers but don't know much about them.
"Like watching paint dry" takes on a different meaning when you're watching a time lapse of powder coat paint being baked. It's so satisfying. Love the restoration!
Wow. I don't have a need for a candy drop roller (or most of the stuff on this channel), but if I ever did, I'd much rather have one that was given the R&R treatment than a brand spanking new one. The craftsmanship and the quality of these restorations is amazing. These pieces are reborn better than they ever were. It is incredibly soothing and satisfying to watch.
The quality between a new one and one given this treatment is probably much different. Like this one was restored PERFECTLY. A new one could never be this nice.

Honestly, it's better than new. The base casting was cheaply done, full of voids, bubbles, and pores, making it hard to keep clean. The epoxy filler and the ceramic/epoxy coating filling the gaps and gave smooth, lustrous finish that is both visually spectacular and likewise easy to clean.

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.
After subscribing to over 30 restoration channels and watching over 500 restoration videos, that was the absolute best restoration I’ve ever seen in my life!
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.
That machine was made six years after the American Civil War ended and he restored it to look like it was manufactured yesterday - amazing. This was so satisfying to watch, and making the candy at the end was the cherry on top!
Which is a problem, right? I like a lot of his restorations but this one felt like he was erasing history by milling it and removing the evidence of the original casting.@@acptelford1307
I love it but I'd argue he made it look like it was manufactured yesterday. If that was true, he would have replaced all moveable parts with cheap plastic at the very least. :) In all seriousness though, it really is a thing of beauty that he did!
@@brianthomas2277 Oh, the way you phrased that was confusing 😅 Because "I'd argue that" = "I'd say that", i.e. it made it seem like you were repeating the same thing they'd said, that it was indeed made yesterday
Really loved watching you rescue and restore that candy maker. I don't know why, but it is so fascinating watching the powder coating being baked on and the clear coat going from the powder to a shiny clear. Then to watch you actually use it to make candy was wonderful. Thank you for the work you put in to restoring and making this video.
back in the day you had a person for every other task. He does it all. The most satisfying part is where the finish goes from white to this brutal red.
I’m not sure why this appeared in my scroll but I love it. It’s the right size contraption to make your own candies at home. I wish they still made things like this.
He cooks, he cleans, he's a restoring machine, when I thought it was over I thought I'd really like to see it pump out some lollies, 100% enjoyed this, there's something really satisfying about the phoenix effect, subbing for sure!
I usually think it's a shame when such an old tool is over-restored. In this case, the quality of the craftsmanship of the restoration is so high and the result so beautiful that I just think it's great.
Well I am the opposite, I think if you gonna restore something, you should go all the way in, its always annoying to me when people restore something, then proceeds to reuse old broken wooden parts, wood is organic which means it will decay, metal on the other hand, if cared for, can last thousands of years.
@@SMGJohn hes probably talking more about changing the design or looks of the tool too much, but it's done beautifully in this case, and kinda fits since it's a candy machine
@@SMGJohn I think that what Hafensanger might be saying is that when you make it better than new it kinda of loses it's sense of history. The machining and casting marks speak to how it was made. Pantina tells you it's old. For example, I have an old hand crank apple peeler. If I restored it to better than new, It would essentially be no different than a replica I can buy from China.
Ok, so much to unpack here: 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.
My jar dropped at the end. I couldn't imagine a way to get little round candies out of that sheet of sugar bubble wrap. The simple solutions are often the best. 👌 Amazing restoration!!
At a time where so many things are designed to be disposed of when they break, it’s awesome to see something brought back to life. My uncle taught me at an early age not to be afraid to take things apart to see how they work and if they can be repaired. It has saved me a lot of money over the years 🥰 excellent work sir!
First glance: that’s in pretty good shape, not sure much needs doing. Watches video: everything needs doing! Turn it up to 11 with mirror polish & powder coat. Fantastic results! Probably the 2 most dangerous parts were using the lathe & making the candy. Sugar syrup will burn worse than nearly anything. Glad you were safe.
White is an wavelength that has no color wavelengths so basically its colorless whilst black is an color that has all color wavelengths so basically it has all colors
I don't like that all the history and 'patina' has been removed and that bits are cut-off/altered. But I guess there's be no vid if things were just appreciated for the history of beautiful found objects as they are.
@@ellaova You're telling me the rusty unused piece of metal is more charming than the working version? I personally find machines doing their intended job far more satisfying than a rusty paperweight sitting in a closet for decades.
I can imagine the look on the original manufacturer's face if they watch this video. Seeing your own creation being restored and brought back to life is amazing
Machine probably didn't even look that good when it was manufactured. They design/assemble it their way, you come along and show them how it's supposed to be done! 👏
Man, this was like watching a magic trick but seeing the process makes it even more magical instead of taking that away. Thanks man. Your videos are so amazing to watch!
This is the kind of video my dad and I would have liked to watch together. He was a machinist and a tool and die maker and when he died, I had no idea what some of these tools were, but I see tools in this video that he had. Makes me miss him but also makes me appreciate your craftmanship and the craftmanship of people in the 1800's. Excellent video, I'll be subscribing!
My dad died nearly 7 years ago, he was a retired engineer. His company reconditioned old lathes, this would have been a great video for us to watch together. My condolences for your loss. Remember the happy times God bless, Jon ❤️✝️🙏
Aside from just being a joy to watch, these videos are genuinely inspiring. I use them often to motivate my self-care efforts. "If the R&R guy can put that much time, effort, and care into restoring each tiny piece of an old machine, you can get out of bed and wash your face."
Absolutely incredible. Love the candy apple red finish. It always does my heart good to see an old, neglected, and "useless" piece of vintage machinery restored to its former glory (and in this case, it probably looks better now than it did when it was fresh out of production.) Thank you thank you thank you for giving this drop candy roller a beautifully renewed lease on life!
I usually don't go for the super shiny finish that most restoration channels seem to insist on, but when it suits the project it REALLY enhances the final result.
Those old, "useless" machines were solidly built and made to last. This candy roller could probably last another century - or even more - if it's maintained well.
@@StarchildMagic My grandmother's old Singer sewing machine (a converted treadle machine with a "flying shuttle bobbin" instead of the modern "button" bobbin") STILL works great, and while it can't do backstitching or zigzag, it CAN penetrate NUMEROUS layers of fabric. I like it because all the parts are metal (and VERY durable), and the mechanics are simple and easy to fix, unlike a computerized sewing machine where if the logic board goes bad, you're up a creek without a paddle. There's something to be said for the old, built-to-last simplicity of older machines. Treat them well and they will reward you with many, many years of reliable and consistent service.
Pretty much guaranteed. they would have been churning these out by the thousands somewhere. Company would probably go broke if they spent this much time per unit!

What's more satisfying than just watching the restoration itself is seeing just how much care and effort this man puts into every detail of the machines. Every crevice, screw, and crank gets his all and it's just so nice to see. I strive to have this much patience and commitment to my craft.
When you were assembling the handle, I noticed that you put the handle in the opposite direction and I was going to post a comment, but later on I saw that you corrected it. Your attention to detail makes me feel good. Thanks for sharing.
Simply wow! This was the niftiest restoration! From the epoxy fill, to the powder coat, to the rebuilding of the screws... every move was a dance in elegance. Encore!
First timer here and you had me at the Lead Check! Thank you for checking so that I could sit back and enjoy the beautiful restoration without my mind constantly thinking about it being toxic. The attention to detail is so amazing and the video was super enjoyable!
I'm sure this thing never looked even close to that good, even when it was brand stinking new. Really nice work on restoring this far beyond any expectations.
If you ever come back, I’ll remind you, that there’s two things so far that I know you should be store, that ice cream sandwich maker, and that crane truck that was seen in that Tonka wrecker restoration video.
sorry, i would have to say that i wasn't happy with the removal of a layer from the outside of the roller... this has sort of increased the wastage and caused the sweets to have a larger line at the centre.. even though minimal it makes a difference i feel slight cleaning with abrasion would have completely sufficed. rest was good, especially the spraying and curing
What’s amazing about this is at first, it doesn’t look that much dirty, it’s just rusty. But then you really see how dirty it really was compared to the after product. I can see this took a lot of skill and dedication! Keep up the great work!
I am so glad this restoration was captured on video! I was fascinated, I would normally skip ahead but I have so much appreciation for the detail and dedication. It is actually a functional piece of art now. Absolutely stunning!!
@@rin_morts 👀 yes it is toxic thats why you had to have professionals remove lead paint in older houses amd things like toys get recalled if they are found to have lead in them.
@@moshesheckel7369 i meant i had watched maybe 20-25 different restoration videos with old things that could contain lead in them but this was the first of all of them that used a lead tester. Or at least did so on camera
@@sesshomaruslover1 they most likely tested for lead off camera. Most of these restoration guys have been in the game for a very long time and I doubt they’d not know to do that
This video, when it was less than a week old, introduced me to this channel, and the channel hasn't uploaded anything new since. It's a shame because I enjoyed checking out all his older videos.
This is by far the most satisfying start to finish video I’ve ever seen. There are no words to describe the care and expertise that went into all of this. This man needs to restore himself a golden trophy to award himself.
At first, I was thinking "It just seems a machine like the ones I saw a few times when I was a child, it's nothing in a bad state...", and didn't see much space for improvements, but I'm mesmerized about how polished and shiny all the pieces can be - and were - finished! This wasn't a work of restoration, it was rising the machine to an art level! I also loved the magical transitions, mainly those with the electric oven. Not even a slight shake on the camera!
This is hands-down my favorite restoration I've seen you do. I've watched several of your videos, and your work is always fantastic. But this one seems to just go way above and beyond. Beautifully filmed and edited, just a masterpiece of a video/restoration. And to mix my metaphors a bit, making candy at the end, is the icing on the cake.
you took the words right out of my mouth man. I've watched a LOT of different restoration videos from all kinds of channels and this one just tickles my OCD to perfection. The level of restoration this guy did for this machine is superior to all, inferior to none
Out of ALL the restoration’s on RUclips, antique’s to everyday object, you my friend are on a next level, other RUclipsrs are grate you are in the LEGENDARY status, keep up the amazing work.
I'd like to imagine a homemaker in 1871 seeing that candymaker in a storefront, just as we are looking at it after the restoration, and buying it to make sweets. Beautiful work! ❤️
except this probably looks way nicer than it did in 1871. there was no such thing as powder coating back then and most painting and polishing was done by hand.
I doubt people had one of these in their home unless possibly they were rich with servants making the candy. These were probably mostly in candy shops. Most of the candy making in those days was done right their in the shop. There are a few candy shops around today that are doing it.
man its sad that this piece probably came with several different rollers but lost over the years. great restoration, i dont even know what i would pay to have such a piece. amazing.
This seems like something lofty pursuits would absolutely love! They make drop and image candies alllll the time! It's almost as soothing to watch as these videos haha
I wonder if this roller is from the same company that they get theirs. I vaguely remember one of their earlier episodes gave a history on their drop rollers. UPDATE: Confirmed from episode 22 that their rollers did, indeed, come from Thomas Mills.
I immediately thought of lofty pursuits as well! I actually thought it was one of their videos just from the thumbnail before I red the title and channel.
Dude actually making the candy at the end was the cherry on top. Truly amazing. What a restoration!

You turned an old machine into a piece of art! So much eye for detail, just amazing!!!
Thank you for sharing with us!
Yes, just my thoughts.

It's ugly and vulgar looking now. Devoid of all charm.

The fact that he even made some candy at the end truly shows how much dedication he has to his work.
He always uses the items after restoration.
Did it ocurr to you that he might have bought and restored a candy drop roller because he wanted to make candy?
@@asvarien tbh no but makes sense, this dude probably just buys stuff he likes, and as a bonus, make money off restoring and recording
the reason i sat through the whole video lol
@@asvarien - not just that, *_lots of them._*
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.
Some people might be a bit picky if it wasn't restored using the same type of wood for the handle - some other small things.
Or slightly better in this case, making the metal smooth. Before it was just cast and painted. He smoothed out the casting marks.
@@Ja2808R Yeah, that was the only bit that made me wince a little, but the end product speaks for itself!
cartard
I don't know, so much of the original material was removed without need, just for looks. I'd expected more preservation, now it's more recycled.
That machine was made six years after the American Civil War ended and he restored it to look like it was manufactured yesterday - amazing. This was so satisfying to watch, and making the candy at the end was the cherry on top!
It’s a lot better than when it was originally made.
Which is a problem, right? I like a lot of his restorations but this one felt like he was erasing history by milling it and removing the evidence of the original casting.@@acptelford1307
I love it but I'd argue he made it look like it was manufactured yesterday. If that was true, he would have replaced all moveable parts with cheap plastic at the very least. :) In all seriousness though, it really is a thing of beauty that he did!
@@brianthomas2277 Oh, the way you phrased that was confusing 😅 Because "I'd argue that" = "I'd say that", i.e. it made it seem like you were repeating the same thing they'd said, that it was indeed made yesterday
Well he made it look old in the first place so restoring it should be easy...
i love you rescue and restore!! you rescued and restored my heart when i was going through it a couple of years ago🫶 rewatching for old times’ sake😊
That's one of the best things I've seen get restored, plus having the ability to make your own sweets. Absolutely Brilliant.
Really loved watching you rescue and restore that candy maker. I don't know why, but it is so fascinating watching the powder coating being baked on and the clear coat going from the powder to a shiny clear. Then to watch you actually use it to make candy was wonderful. Thank you for the work you put in to restoring and making this video.
same here wasn't expecting white to go clear, it was like making candy in itself, never mind the real stuff at the end, 🙂🍬🍬

I usually think it's a shame when such an old tool is over-restored. In this case, the quality of the craftsmanship of the restoration is so high and the result so beautiful that I just think it's great.
Well I am the opposite, I think if you gonna restore something, you should go all the way in, its always annoying to me when people restore something, then proceeds to reuse old broken wooden parts, wood is organic which means it will decay, metal on the other hand, if cared for, can last thousands of years.
@@SMGJohn hes probably talking more about changing the design or looks of the tool too much, but it's done beautifully in this case, and kinda fits since it's a candy machine
“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” well in this case it was kinda broke, an upgrade would be the only natural and better choice
My reaction was just like yours, over-restored but then I saw the final product (and the non-repairable items) and thought well thats ok then.
@@SMGJohn I think that what Hafensanger might be saying is that when you make it better than new it kinda of loses it's sense of history. The machining and casting marks speak to how it was made. Pantina tells you it's old. For example, I have an old hand crank apple peeler. If I restored it to better than new, It would essentially be no different than a replica I can buy from China.
This guy is not only a welder, but a cook, sculptor, artist and 20 more...

The man who designed this device is smiling from heaven at the care and attention put into this restoration. 👍
by the moment after the human being concluded by heaven or hell,his memory already erased.there is no such earthly matters existed in his head.
No he isn’t, he’s dead and unaware
The machine was designed to bring joy and it's still doing exactly that. Very impressive creation.
Ok, so much to unpack here:
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.
Welcome to his very loyal fan club! He’s AMAZING!!!
Yes. This comment. All of it.

Well recorded.
Restoration executed perfectly.
Truly the best!
This was so freaking cool to watch.. so satisfying, and glad to see you using it at the end. was the candy good btw ? 😅
It was awesome!
@@RescueRestore Quality of candy is always an important thing to know. Thanks for telling us!
@@RescueRestore what color did you use for the base
That red
That was so awesome, I love watching your videos.
My jar dropped at the end. I couldn't imagine a way to get little round candies out of that sheet of sugar bubble wrap. The simple solutions are often the best. 👌
Amazing restoration!!
Stupid me would have gone at it with a pair of kitchen scissors or something..
Your jar dropped? Did it break?
@@SchoolGNM Yes, it broke. There is actually a website about that jar and the guy with the thing in the place.
Don’t worry they sell 12 packs of jars at Target.
It's why they're called "drops", because you drop them to break them apart.
At a time where so many things are designed to be disposed of when they break, it’s awesome to see something brought back to life. My uncle taught me at an early age not to be afraid to take things apart to see how they work and if they can be repaired. It has saved me a lot of money over the years 🥰 excellent work sir!
It's a shame that this channel hasn't posted in 2 years, was easily one of my favorite channels when I was struggling in highschool
First glance: that’s in pretty good shape, not sure much needs doing.
Watches video: everything needs doing! Turn it up to 11 with mirror polish & powder coat. Fantastic results!
Probably the 2 most dangerous parts were using the lathe & making the candy. Sugar syrup will burn worse than nearly anything. Glad you were safe.
When you make it look better than new, it's beyond restoring. That was a work of art! Amazing work!
Wow! You made it look like a luxury item, this is the first time I've seen how this machine works and it's awesome! 🤯
the white is a clear coat

I feel like you put more effort into the restoration than the original manufacturers did making it. 10/10.
The fact that he also knew we all wanted to see it work so he included a demonstration was absolutely brilliant
Made it!!!
Aside from just being a joy to watch, these videos are genuinely inspiring. I use them often to motivate my self-care efforts. "If the R&R guy can put that much time, effort, and care into restoring each tiny piece of an old machine, you can get out of bed and wash your face."

Absolutely incredible. Love the candy apple red finish. It always does my heart good to see an old, neglected, and "useless" piece of vintage machinery restored to its former glory (and in this case, it probably looks better now than it did when it was fresh out of production.) Thank you thank you thank you for giving this drop candy roller a beautifully renewed lease on life!
I also love the color and the shiny look of the machine, it reminds me of the 80s
I usually don't go for the super shiny finish that most restoration channels seem to insist on, but when it suits the project it REALLY enhances the final result.
Those old, "useless" machines were solidly built and made to last. This candy roller could probably last another century - or even more - if it's maintained well.
@@StarchildMagic My grandmother's old Singer sewing machine (a converted treadle machine with a "flying shuttle bobbin" instead of the modern "button" bobbin") STILL works great, and while it can't do backstitching or zigzag, it CAN penetrate NUMEROUS layers of fabric. I like it because all the parts are metal (and VERY durable), and the mechanics are simple and easy to fix, unlike a computerized sewing machine where if the logic board goes bad, you're up a creek without a paddle. There's something to be said for the old, built-to-last simplicity of older machines. Treat them well and they will reward you with many, many years of reliable and consistent service.
Pretty much guaranteed. they would have been churning these out by the thousands somewhere. Company would probably go broke if they spent this much time per unit!

What's more satisfying than just watching the restoration itself is seeing just how much care and effort this man puts into every detail of the machines. Every crevice, screw, and crank gets his all and it's just so nice to see. I strive to have this much patience and commitment to my craft.

What an intelligent, patient person doing this. What extremely detailed work!! Great job!
sorry, i would have to say that i wasn't happy with the removal of a layer from the outside of the roller...
this has sort of increased the wastage and caused the sweets to have a larger line at the centre.. even though minimal it makes a difference
i feel slight cleaning with abrasion would have completely sufficed.
rest was good, especially the spraying and curing

This is by far the most satisfying start to finish video I’ve ever seen. There are no words to describe the care and expertise that went into all of this. This man needs to restore himself a golden trophy to award himself.
At first, I was thinking "It just seems a machine like the ones I saw a few times when I was a child, it's nothing in a bad state...", and didn't see much space for improvements, but I'm mesmerized about how polished and shiny all the pieces can be - and were - finished!

I'd like to imagine a homemaker in 1871 seeing that candymaker in a storefront, just as we are looking at it after the restoration, and buying it to make sweets. Beautiful work! ❤️
except this probably looks way nicer than it did in 1871. there was no such thing as powder coating back then and most painting and polishing was done by hand.
I doubt people had one of these in their home unless possibly they were rich with servants making the candy. These were probably mostly in candy shops. Most of the candy making in those days was done right their in the shop. There are a few candy shops around today that are doing it.
Please come back. This is my meditation, and gives me goals to grow old doing exactly this for fun.
