    • @alden1132
      @alden1132 4 роки тому +11

      Stefan Van pellicom It is get me, too. I've learned a lot from watching restoration videos, from proper disassembly methodology to welding techniques to sandblasting, grinding, and riveting, when and how to electro-plate, cutting threads and knurling, filing casting marks, bluing/blackening, how to sand, when to use body-filler, wet-sanding primer, the kind of primer and paint to use, taping for painting, polishing, and more. I've also learned a lot about how basic mechanical concepts work and are exploited, such as centrifugal clutches,
      needle-valves, rotary- vane motors, brushed electric motor maintainance, and the like. It's so much easier to learn when you can watch it being done, and it's entertaining as well.
      'my mechanics,' 'TySy Tube,' and 'Hand Tool Rescue' are my favorites.

The jack is as it once was and wherever possible all the original pieces were used, even restored screws. A job very well done and the video was presented in a way even I understood.

    This is seriously impressive work. I have an old scissor jack that came with the Studebaker Avanti I am almost finished restoring. The rear window leaked before I got the car, and let water into the back seat and the trunk both (thank God it's a fiberglass bodied car!), where it rusted the jack solid. I don't know why I didn't throw the thing away, as it's certainly beyond my power to restore; I just figured I'd buy a replacement at some point. I wish I could find someone like this near me who could restore it, as I hate to see things go to waste. It's nice to see things that can be brought back restored to usefulness again, instead of ending up in some landfill.

They remind me of people who flip houses taking shortcuts to get quick cash... where My Mechanics is they guy who comes in afterwards, shows you what they did wrong and then fixes it doing everything right. If you read this My Mechanics guy... don't change anything regarding your work ethics or how your critical thinking works from start to finish on these projects. F'n awesome!!!

      Air wont rid the steel from all small bits of metal/grit/dirt/salt, you have to wash. You can use compressed air to dry the washed steel, that will reduce flash rust to almost nothing. Light flash rusting in the video is no issue, anyway.

However I would have no reservation in buying anything you have restored/repaired. Well done, and much respect.
