    Some pieces ruined from rust: repairs them. Some pieces practically disintegrated from rust: makes them. Pieces missing with no pattern: reinvents them. End result: better than new. My Mechanic: the best on RUclips.

      lots of homework research ..but when you run the machines you have to think a few steps ahead ..when cutting a part down you need to hold it / clamp it / you want to do as much as you can in 1 set up .. but also if you do too much when you flip the part you might not be able to clamp it ,, over time you learn what you can do in steps . when he made the key that got me .. turned out great but not knowing what the key looked like I got lost at 1st ..

      @meatsmell8639 5 лет назад +5

      While I wouldn't ever dislike one of these videos as the work is amazingly high quality he does a great job of showcasing it, part of me understands why some true die hard restoration fans might be a tad bothered as some of the work he does, isn't necessarily a restoration back to the "brand new" product. For instance the polishing he does on a lot of the parts and the removal of cast marks, that's not exactly a restoration as it is removing some of the original features of a piece (even though those original features are ugly and can ruin the look, it's still removal of original features).
      Again, I wouldn't dislike one of these videos because while it may not be a restoration to the "like new" condition (it's actually a direct improvement of the original condition, I don't entirely know what the word would be though, it's not an upgrade as it's typically old/antique things, it would be more like refinement? Somethin along those lines), I do still understand why some people would feel that could potentially take away from some of the original craftsmanship of a part/product ya know?
      For the sake of a bad example, its kinda like how you don't watch videos on restorations and conversations of paintings for the sake of wanting them to repaint over everything, you watch them because you want to see a deteriorating piece be brought back to as close to the original condition as it can get, that being said, this channel is the best of it's kind on RUclips from what I've seen so far, it's not clickbait titles or things people have clearly found in flea markets and yard sales that they've intentionally let rust, it's actual proper antique pieces that he brings life and functionality back to and refines the overall fit and finish in the process, so all around the reasons to like the videos, heavily outweigh the reason to dislike the videos

      ​@@meatsmell8639, you make good points in your elaboration of why some might thumbs down. Kudos for a solid contribution to the comments. I see what you mean about polishing and removal of casting lines and other blemishes. It could be debated whether this truly represents "restoration". One thing I'd add - In contrast to paintings, form seems to follow function when it comes to tools. For this reason I'm okay with improvements to fit and finish. In most cases I think we witness the best version of the object - One the original creator could be proud of.
