For anyone that has ever restored anything, this guy takes things to a whole new level. The guy has some serious talent and more patients than I have ever demonstrated in my entire life combined. The video is a long watch but quite good. If you are into this type of thing, you will be amazed. He has a bunch of videos out there. This is just one.

If antiques roadshow is any indication, it was worth $100,000 but now since he restored it, it's worth 50 cents. grin

I was thinking how to restore 2 dollar coffee grinder with 20K in tools might be a accurate title. he is going beyond new


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Used to restore tractors, it takes about a year to do it right, everyone said they were better then than when they were new. Worst part is I always had people wanting me to restore tractors and things until they saw the estimate then they had a different mind set. smirk

Almost like making a new one.

That's one way to beat our throwaway society and preserve the craftsmanship of the past. Enjoyed this very much. Thanks, Finster!
