This guy bravely tackles tasks that most people wouldn’t touch. Plus his tools and equipment are fascinating and he has the skill to use them. The finished product is always like new. I enjoy watching his videos. I find them entertaining. My wife thinks I am strange for watching them.
I just turned 50 , so these toys were not around when l was a kid , l am so amazed at the quality and the construction of these toys. Thank you for bringing them back to life
@@rhondaflynn3 your lucky ... l had two older sisters... Every garage sale, flea market , the old Tonka trucks/ Budd L and Corgi toys are crazy expensive, no matter how poor the condition is.
Obviously someone was paying attention during metal shop.... Electronics class... Math class... Welding class... Chemistry class... True craftsmanship.
Watching the rust and damaged paint disappear in the sandblasting process is so satisfying. Admit it, it's one of the reasons you watch this kind of videos.
I would imagine that a sale of a toy restoration like this would have to sell for a price the original manufacturers could never even imagine. What an unbelievable amount of work to restore this one. Thanks for a great video.
I can't state just how relaxing these videos are, I'm a nurse and things have been a bit difficult lately but watching these restorations just help take me out of my bad place, they are so calming, I usually fall asleep half way through and have to go back to the last bit I can remember to see how it turned out. Last week it took me three goes to see how the P35 plane restoration from a year ago ended up because I kept drifting off, so thank you for your work.
Невероятно!!! Такую кучку металлолома вернуть к жизни, превратив её в прекрасную игрушку-мечту любого взрослого, не говоря уже про мальчишек! Chip, you are gineous! 🌟❄️🎄✨👍
Chip: I can’t say enough. This was the most involved restoration, I believe, I have ever seen. The amount of tools and patience were amazing. Magnificent! Unbelievable! Carol from California
The range of tools and techniques used in this restoration was very impressive -- from woodworking to CNC machines to various types of moulding. I really enjoy these long and challenging restorations. Thank-you and Happy New Year!
Pull a vacuum on the models so to suck the material thru the model. It just makes sure the model is filled and no bubbles. Keep pulling a vacuum the way you did before,, just also when you are filling the mold too! Great work man!.
This is such a fun channel! I have been subscribed for a few months and have seen many toys that my son had and one that I had as a little girl. The tiny mint green stove hat you did. This one brought back a memory from 68 years ago. When I was 6 years old, a truck similar to this came down our street in Buffalo New York and offered rides for 5 cents. Every kid on the block saved their pennies for the day that carousel came. I thank you for that.
Another amazing restoration sir. You have my complete respect. Your work brings back childhood memories of us oldies when we were kids. The injection mold fabrication for the plastic parts was hypnotic. I was wondering how replacement parts are made for restoration projects, and now I know. I have experience using RTV (silicone) molds, and to prevent air entrapment issues, I would suggest using a disposable fine tip irrigation syringe to fill the leg areas. With the syringe tip at the bottom of the mold, start filling as you pull the syringe to the top of the leg, then put the mold together and fill the rest. Hope that helps and thank you for keeping the past alive!
I am amazed at your craftsmanship in making the parts you needed. You sir are a miracle worker, the finished toy is beautiful, better then the original.
A once in a lifetime event.................... Seeing Santa in his toy restoration workshop, making the magic happen, right in front of our eyes!!!!! 💖💖💖💖
By far one of the most captivating restoration video I've seen. Truly incredible approach in craftsmanship and dedication. And quite frankly, a toy could be just a pile of rust and Chip would make it look like new.
This is totally fascinating to me to see these old Tonka trucks being brought to life. You have no idea how much those trucks meant to me as a kid. We are talking many house in my knees playing with these. They defined my childhood and we’re my escape. Thank you for your incredible work!!!!
Amazing work! I really couldn’t believe the toy you started with could be salvaged, but you did it! With the resin, I’m certainly no expert, but from other artists I’ve seen I think a few tweaks to the mold would help your casts come out cleaner. First, you want each half of the silicone mold to really latch together, both to make sure things line up exactly and to keep the halves tight enough that you don’t get the resin leaking out. When you poured the first half of the silicone, had you added Legos or something to create perforations (for lack of a better term) and then removed them before pouring the second half, you would automatically create interlocking nubs of silicone to help hold the pieces together. Also, I’m not sure whether you’re using a mold release gel on the silicone, but that would also help the resin release cleanly after curing. I’m not sure if I explained that very clearly, but I hope it’s helpful!
hi chip, i have done casting with metal and think having a pour/vent tube going to each leg and the tail and pour upside down air won't be trapped. the viscosity is what was the problem. fantastic overall and i reaally enjoy all your restorations. Ole Frank
I absolutely love this. I like that you don't talk during the process. It is so soothing to just watch. If you have grandchildren, they are the luckiest around. I can just hear them: "Mommy, can we go to Grandpa's today? I want to play with his trucks!" As far as I know, they don't make these kind of toys any longer. And that is so sad.
THANK YOU! I love this one the most. Seeing it in your collection gave me a sense of deja vu. It turns out that one of my older brothers had this truck. Being a horse lover, I remember the horses most! It's amazing what you can do!
Помоему это самая трудно-затратная реставрация на данный момент из всей серии мастера и за кропотливость работы и за котика однозначно лайк красивая работа 👍👍👍
Awesome video! All the resources including the “vintage 3D printer”. The tear down of the carousel was a blood pressure raiser for me but the rebuilding of it made of for it!
Finally someone who really looks like he is restoring something. Not like the lot of channels where the items look destroyed on purpose only to rebuild them to make money from the watchers.
I'd come work for you. You're fortunate to have all these tools and supplies and doing this heartfelt good work with them. The Misfit Toys are smiling their approval.
Wow Chip I am having trouble finding the right superlatives to describe what I just saw. You sure brought this one back from the great beyond. Excellent job and excellent videography sharing this restore with us. Thanks!!!!
Bell needs a rubber washer between the mount stud and the bell so when the strikers hit you get the distinctive ding, not thud 🙂 Amazing work Chip, you are a master at this!
You are the best toy restorer I ever saw. It's good to see that you have invested in the right tools to do almost anything. I like to look over your collection at the end of every video. It's amazing to think that the same details were used in each one. Very Good!!
As a rule, don’t use rubber bands to hold together flexible silicone molds. Certainly not ones with as much tension as you had there. All you want to do is press the two halves of the mold together, but rubber bands apply forces from all around the “ring” made by the band. This can make each half of the silicone mold bow out in the center, and give excessive flashing like you had there. Just like with your injection molding machine, you want to clamp the mold halves together firmly but without distorting them. As for the resin not getting into the horses legs, part of that is mold design and gating, part of that is using too thick of a resin (and making it thicker with powders instead of thinner with liquid dyes), and not putting the mold in a vacuum to pull the air pockets out.
In my opinion, the issue that caused the horses to not mold as well as they should have is the use of rubber bands. Another means of holding the two-piece mold together needs to be used. Also...once the 2 halves are joined...I would tap it a few times on ALL 4 SIDES to help the resin "settle" in those hard-to-reach areas; REGARDLESS of what shape is being molded. Still, the legs & hoofs of these little horses would be very difficult to do well. I honestly don't believe the viscosity of the resin used to mold the horses was a factor causing the poor quality results. But it's important to consider this in all molding efforts. Respectfully, Ben
@@duygukayhanisaskank4915 My thinking is, the thinner the viscocity of the resin, the easier it is for the trapped air down in the bottom of those legs to get out. Since he didn’t use the vacuum, you only have the pressure of the air at atmosphere to “push” up through the resin. Thinner would make that easier, in the same way that a bubble of air rises faster through a soda than it does through molasses. And keep in mind that thinner resins also have less surface tension, and the air trapped in the bottom needs to overcome the surface tension of the incoming resin in order to even begin to push past it.
@@LizMatzelle I agree that a "thinner" resin would easily fill the voids in the mold. But the end result would (most likely) yield a poor quality reproduction. In this case, the original...the horse...had thin features in the legs & hoofs. The quality of the mold & the viscosity of the resin is not the main issue. It is the "thin" features of the legs & hoofs of the horse used to create the mold. To maintain a quality reproduction, the resin must be "somewhat" thick. As you likely know, there is a fine line between making the resin mixture too thin or too thick...in such reproductions. Respectfully, Ben
@@duygukayhanisaskank4915 I have never seen data that says that a thin resin cannot dry as hard and strong as a thick resin. Keep in mind I am NOT talking about altering the mixing ratios of a given resin, I am talking about choosing a resin that is designed to be a lower viscocity when properly mixed. As an example, TotalBoat MakerPoxy has a mixed viscocity of 3,500cP and a cured tensile strength of 5,400psi. TotalBoat TableTop Epoxy has a mixed viscocity of 3,500cP (exactly the same) and a cured tensil strength of 7,400psi. Both very thick, high viscocity resins, super wide spread in terms of strength. To compare to a thinner viscocity resin, TotalBoat High Performance epoxy has a mixed viscocity of 600cP and a cured tensile strength of 7,300psi, effectively the same strength as tabletop but a MUCH thinner viscocity resin. It’s about choosing the right resin for the project, both in terms of viscocity AND strength, but you can find any combination of particulars you are looking for.
This was ...... I'm out of superlatives. I'm in total awe. Watched every second of this, ignoring all distractions. You, Sir, are AMAZING. Thank you for this Christmas gift. Many happy wishes to you and yours. And Long Live The Cyclopeep!
I'm an RC airplane and Tank Hobbyist, Boy I Wish I had the Tools you have. BLESS YOU, FOR YOU ARE AN ARTIST. LOVE YOUR WORK AND CRAFTSMANSHIP. HOPE YOU'RE MAKING SOME SALES 👍
Great Christmas gift… A Chip Channel video I wasn’t expecting this weekend! Edit: I just finished this video. Actually longer than some old classic movies, but I wasn’t at all bored! I have gotten to the point where I try to guess how you are going to repair or recreate the unique details of each toy. I’m probably the last person to ask, but I assume duplicating the horses would be easier on a 3-D printer, which are not yet in everyone’s budget to purchase. Otherwise, I have no idea! 😉. Thank you for all the quality entertainment this year, Chip. Happy New Year! 👍👍👍 ~ John
Seeing these toys come back to life makes me look back fondly on my childhood, but the greatest satisfaction I get is seeing the level of workmanship you put into these things. Just. Plain. Amazing. Thank you.
I had no idea there were so many replacement parts available for these old toys, many of which I can remember playing with when I was a youngster. I bought my youngest son a complete set of the "metal" Tonka" equipment back in 92, Truck, Dozer, Road Grader, Backhoe, and End Loader. He took such good care of them, when he finally outgrew them I put them in the ceiling in the garage and they still look new. Love these restorations, brings back memories of good times. You do a fantastic job.
I heard you are also a neurosurgeon, a rocket scientist, and a gourmet chef, all in your spare time. Is there anything you DON'T do? So impressive, and done with such joy and love!
So many processes, so much effort, so much satisfaction. Thank you! One tip I use for mold making is to draw a vacuum with my vacuum chamber. It draws out any remaining air in the mold. As there is a good head of resin in the center well, the level of the resin drops slightly as it continues to fill the spindly bits like the legs and tail and head.
Before I started watching your toy restoration videos. I had no idea how much work, and equipment it actually took, to do these incredible restores. It's a testament to how good you really are, to be able to have a toy, many decades old, look like it came out of the factory, cheers! ❤
Oh jezzzz what nice milling machines ....... I have to make my molds from rubber and parts from casting resin. I'm thankful to have what I have. You must have a nice collection of molds by now. No tire molds? Each leg needs a vent. The vents need to run back to the top. I see you filled the horses belly with something before you cast the rubber mold, that's good. You dont need a hollow belly for this. I'm kind of suprised you didn't cut alignment sections into the first half of the rubber mold. Then when you pour the second have, It will fill the alignment sections and when that cures, the two rubber molds will slot perfectly together when you put the two halfs together. The short of it, each horse leg needs a vent, and let the casting resin cure longer. At least over an hour, I noticed when you pulled the horses out, the legs stretched. Let it cure awhile longer.
I HAD NO IDEA Buddy-L made such a vehicle as this Merry-Go-Round Truck. Your restoration is impeccable; regardless of the rear tires//wheels that couldn't be salvaged. No-doubt, you'll eventually come across a good set & restore them for this very rare gem. In my respectful opinion, this is the most interesting restoration video you've ever presented. Honestly, this is the most captivating restorations of a Buddy-L//Tonka//Nylint I've ever seen. THANKS & ALL THE BEST in 2022!!!! Ben
This is my third time trying to watch this video. I keep falling asleep. It's such an impressive and involved restoration but I just CANT STAY AWAKE through all the nice sounds.
That was astounding! You really had to work for that one, wow! As for the horses, you might try pouring each half of the mold separately, lying on their sides, then joining the two halves together. You'd probably have to sand the middle side of each half a little to make them perfectly flat for joining, but it should work... Thanks for this blood, sweat, and tears episode! You did a stellar job, as usual... P.S. I love the vintage 3D printer!
All I have to say is me and my husband have been watching almost every one of your videos and I will tell you we are so addicted to your channel your work is impeccable and I am so glad I stumbled upon your channel just by chance and I've been telling all my friends about what an incredible channel you have you are definitely my favorite channel on all of RUclips you really are a paragon!.... Thank you so much for sharing your videos with us!.... And I hope you get 40 million subscribers just for the work that you do ...thank you so much!...Christina P.
ok, not gonna lie, I had no idea on just how beautiful that was gonna turn out. You exceed expectation my friend. Have a Merry Chrysler with you and your kitter, and have a Happy New Year!
Total Awesomeness Chip. One of your best, keep them coming. When you were setting in a screw and a tiny bit of red paint developed a splinter I found myself blowing wind at it, sorry, I was concentrating so much into helping, lolol. Love your work and dedication, you are awesome too. 👌👍👏😉🏅🏆
Given the machining of molds and all the detailed necessities to make the simplest parts this truck is now worth hundreds, if not a 1000. Amazing dedication
My favorite thing about your videos so far is the cute sheep and the sandblasting footage is absolute satisfaction. If you did a compilation of all the sandblasting you do in your vids, I'd watch it
I find sandblasting one of the most satisfying parts of a restoration, some channels seem almost embarrassed by it; thank you for including so much

It still wouldn't be worth as much as you'd expect since it was restored. The real value is in the mint condition collectors items.

He couldn't put the silicone molds in the thing he used to get the air out and use that to get the bubbles in the molding material to come out?
Impressive job and patience.
I am amazed at your craftsmanship in making the parts you needed. You sir are a miracle worker, the finished toy is beautiful, better then the original.
For the horses or similar projects, I would maybe try to 3d scan and then resin 3d print. Bit more costly but should give a nice end result
It was interesting to see the fails. Shame on the resin horses they were beautiful colors. BTW I didn't mind the long video either.
My son asks me to put this video up every night before to sleep. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful work. Watching from Brazil.
Of all the toys you have done, I think this is my favorite. What a cute toy. I know it was not easy but I think it was worth it.
I love seeing such heavy duty machinery being used to restore a toy truck

I would have been tempted to 3D print the gears, but your solution is awesome!
I was thinking a PETG or ABS filament for strength
3D-print them - or just mill them from aluminum, rather than mill aluminum molds for one-off injection molding.
Такие фигуры отливают только под давлением! Вам, как мастеру на все руки, это надо бы знать! 😂
hi chip, i have done casting with metal and think having a pour/vent tube going to each leg and the tail
and pour upside down air won't be trapped. the viscosity is what was the problem. fantastic overall
and i reaally enjoy all your restorations. Ole Frank

I didn’t think the video could get any better. Then a cat showed up, I love them.
I had no idea there were so many replacement parts available for these old toys, many of which I can remember playing with when I was a youngster. I bought my youngest son a complete set of the "metal" Tonka" equipment back in 92, Truck, Dozer, Road Grader, Backhoe, and End Loader. He took such good care of them, when he finally outgrew them I put them in the ceiling in the garage and they still look new. Love these restorations, brings back memories of good times. You do a fantastic job.
So glad you did thisone Chip! Been hoping and praying to see you bring this truck back to it's former glory! 🙂👍
I heard you are also a neurosurgeon, a rocket scientist, and a gourmet chef, all in your spare time. Is there anything you DON'T do? So impressive, and done with such joy and love!
Chip, that was a bit more labor intensive than some other restorations you've done. I'm glad it turned out so nicely, and that inspector cat approved.

動用這麼多的儀器，物料，精神和耐心為了修复已經殘破80%的玩具，我真的佩服你的愛心和技能。讚，讚，讚！👍👍👍👍💕💞💯💯
Beautiful work, especially since that truck had more pits in it than a peach orchard. A very cool model.
So many processes, so much effort, so much satisfaction. Thank you!
One tip I use for mold making is to draw a vacuum with my vacuum chamber. It draws out any remaining air in the mold.
As there is a good head of resin in the center well, the level of the resin drops slightly as it continues to fill the spindly bits like the legs and tail and head.
This one was well worth the wait. Beautiful restoration.
Before I started watching your toy restoration videos. I had no idea how much work, and equipment it actually took, to do these incredible restores. It's a testament to how good you really are, to be able to have a toy, many decades old, look like it came out of the factory, cheers! ❤
Man what a showcase of your restoration skills. Loved every minute of it.
Oh jezzzz what nice milling machines ....... I have to make my molds from rubber and parts from casting resin. I'm thankful to have what I have. You must have a nice collection of molds by now. No tire molds?
Each leg needs a vent. The vents need to run back to the top. I see you filled the horses belly with something before you cast the rubber mold, that's good. You dont need a hollow belly for this. I'm kind of suprised you didn't cut alignment sections into the first half of the rubber mold. Then when you pour the second have, It will fill the alignment sections and when that cures, the two rubber molds will slot perfectly together when you put the two halfs together. The short of it, each horse leg needs a vent, and let the casting resin cure longer. At least over an hour, I noticed when you pulled the horses out, the legs stretched. Let it cure awhile longer.
I HAD NO IDEA Buddy-L made such a vehicle as this Merry-Go-Round Truck.
Your restoration is impeccable; regardless of the rear tires//wheels that couldn't be salvaged.
No-doubt, you'll eventually come across a good set & restore them for this very rare gem.
In my respectful opinion, this is the most interesting restoration video you've ever presented.
Honestly, this is the most captivating restorations of a Buddy-L//Tonka//Nylint I've ever seen.
THANKS & ALL THE BEST in 2022!!!!

This is my third time trying to watch this video. I keep falling asleep. It's such an impressive and involved restoration but I just CANT STAY AWAKE through all the nice sounds.
This has been the most extensive rebuild i have ever watched you do to date. The CAD mill is waaaaaaaay awesome. Excellent work as always
Great videos, back to a time never to be seen again, when kids had toys instead of a mobile phone.
Fantastic restoration which showcased all your skills and tools - your channel has been a wonderful find for 2021 - thank you, and Happy New Year 🥳
This channel just took a giant leap in sophistication with the techniques used. Stellar restoration.
That was astounding! You really had to work for that one, wow! As for the horses, you might try pouring each half of the mold separately, lying on their sides, then joining the two halves together. You'd probably have to sand the middle side of each half a little to make them perfectly flat for joining, but it should work... Thanks for this blood, sweat, and tears episode! You did a stellar job, as usual...
P.S. I love the vintage 3D printer!
Beautiful restoration. I saw a real in a parade in Southern New Jersey many years ago. A local man restored it as a hobby.
All I have to say is me and my husband have been watching almost every one of your videos and I will tell you we are so addicted to your channel your work is impeccable and I am so glad I stumbled upon your channel just by chance and I've been telling all my friends about what an incredible channel you have you are definitely my favorite channel on all of RUclips you really are a paragon!.... Thank you so much for sharing your videos with us!.... And I hope you get 40 million subscribers just for the work that you do ...thank you so much!...Christina P.
That’s a lot of hard work just to make a cog ⚙️ for one toy! Well done! That’s dedication right there!
Can't remember for sure, but believe that was one of the worst you've started with. Well, that I've seen so far. Turned out totally awesome !!!
These videos are so satisfying because Every Little Thing Matters.
Holy moly. All the machines from the Third Industrial Revolution to restore a toy.
Impressive restoration, back to one child's Christmas pride and joy as it once must have been. Excellent work.
I have waited sooooooo long for this toy! And it's even better than I had imagined. Thank you for being you! It was a joy to watch.
He puts just as much heart and love into restoring these toys as the children who once played with them. Awesome job.
ok, not gonna lie, I had no idea on just how beautiful that was gonna turn out. You exceed expectation my friend. Have a Merry Chrysler with you and your kitter, and have a Happy New Year!
Your work is superlative. It makes me wish I could do it and it makes me wish I could go back to my childhood. Thanks for the memories
Total Awesomeness Chip. One of your best, keep them coming. When you were setting in a screw and a tiny bit of red paint developed a splinter I found myself blowing wind at it, sorry, I was concentrating so much into helping, lolol.
Love your work and dedication, you are awesome too. 👌👍👏😉🏅🏆
Given the machining of molds and all the detailed necessities to make the simplest parts this truck is now worth hundreds, if not a 1000. Amazing dedication
These feature length epics are fantastic! The *My Mechanics* of vintage toy cars and that is a huge compliment 🧡
Love the bit a fluffs...beaker too...love watching someone work who loves what they do. Keep up the awesome projects 😊
Very nicely done. I was afraid those remade carousel horses weren't going to look their best. Good thing you could salvage some nice used ones.
My favorite thing about your videos so far is the cute sheep and the sandblasting footage is absolute satisfaction. If you did a compilation of all the sandblasting you do in your vids, I'd watch it
Another great Chip job!each job you do is here and better. I admire. The tools you use. I hope very much in the future I can do something similar!
