Mechanical Coin Bank Restoration
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 лют 2022
- Restoration of a antique mechanical coin bank from around the period 1877-1920’s. It’s a French soldier who shoot your coins down into the old hollow tree trunk.
It is in really bad shape. The wood it is mounted on are rotten and full of mold and the pewter base are broken in many pieces. The trigger mechanics inside the figure are also broken so I needed to fix that.
THE RESTORATION PROCESS
I disassembled the coin bank and sandblasted the base and the big old tree. Then I repaired the pewter base. The plate where the hunter stands. I had to glue the pieces together with solder before I could cast the missing pewter. I gave it a nice layer of metal primer and hand painted it two times.
I also disabled the hunter, but I had to use drill and screw extractor to get 5 of the screws out. I replaced these 5 screws with new ones. I gave him a nice sandblasting and a layer of metal primer and hand painted him two times as well. I fixed the trigger mechanism and replaced the old rotten tree plate with a new one in oak. I gave it some oil to give the wood a darker and older look. I also created a little brass plate which I mounted on the oak plate, it says “Awesome Coin Bank”.
The small parts, such as screws and trigger mechanism got cleaned up in a rust remover solution and after that I polished all the screws.
I did not erase his face in the sandblaster - I only did a very soft cleaning with water.
I really enjoyed this restoration. There are something very special in restoring these old antiques.

Let's like, before we watch!!!
Nice work with the cracks and missing metal.
I really hope you create more videos of you restoring other zombiefied versions of toy story characters.
Мартин,Твой канал смотрит много русских включая меня 👋💖✊👍👍👍
What I really love about this video? Is the 🤫. No horrible annoying music. Just the night animals. So relaxing and allows you to concentrate on what’s happening. I love it.
thank you very much :)
Exactly! I also hate annoying, ugly background music. I love just the natural sounds and the machines. Who needs to add music?! There is enough noise without adding music!
Silence is golden.
I love having no music in the background, too. The owl sounds sus, though. Lol. Just the sound of his tools is music enough.
Just the sound of the American outdoors, in Europe
Как всегда Мартин вернул к жизни очередную вроде бы погибшую вещь. Восхищаюсь трудолюбием и аккуратностью мастера. Уважение тебе, дружище!
thank you so much :)
Да, это надо было видеть! Я, даже, не слышала о такой копилке. Ваши работы дышат стариной и, как машина времени, позволяют заглянуть в прошлое и представить, как жили и пользовались этими вещицами их хозяева. Очень увлекательно! Спасибо вам, успехов.
thanks a lot for your comment
Can we all appreciate how talented this man is and the fact that we can watch him master his art for free.
thank you so much :)
@@AwesomeRestorations you're very welcome. Keep the videos coming!
Loved it 🙂🙃but you got the brass crooked
@@garydawson5928 what brass was crooked?
Насколько терпеливо и умело работает мастер,можно только позавидовать.
thank you so much :)
Отличное видео, как всегда. Великолепная реставрация. Желаю успеха в дальнейшем 👍
thank you so much :)
@@AwesomeRestorations Что с монетами? Интересно что там лежало. С уважением.
Мастерская вызывает восхищение и хорошую рабочую зависть. Какое разнообразие инструментов, средств и оборудования, буквально на все случаи ремонта! Но особенное удивление - это крошечные баночки с краской, буквально, как настоящие большие для интерьерных работ! У НАС В УКРАИНЕ краски для художников в другой упаковке. Этот вариант расфасовки - милый и очень привлекательный.
thank you very much for your comment and for watching my video 😊💙💛
Excellent job! I'm curious about the "ammo belt" which is not on the finished item. Was it not original? Or perhaps just too far gone? Thanks for your video!
It was designed to shoot a coin only. Someone previously had "modified it" for fun it would seem.
The belt was not originally a part of the coin bank the previous owner attached it for decoration but the coin bank actually doesn't work when the belt is attached 😊
@@AwesomeRestorations Thank you! I had a feeling...
@@AwesomeRestorations love this guy
Когда руки на месте , старые приятные сувениры получают вторую жизнь! И это здорово! Сейчас таких сувениров не делают и если не сохранять и не реставрировать старые целый пласт эстетического восприятия потеряется. Спасибо Вам , Мартин !!!
Большое спасибо нашему старшему поколению, за то что сохранили эти самые сувениры для нас, хотя бы в таком состоянии. А процесс придания первоначального вида предмету, это особый вид удовольствия👍
thank you so much for your comment :)
Он так и не отреставрировал лицо охотника. Видимо, он плохой художник (судя по тому, что он даже оттенки не смешивал, а брал базовые только) и поэтому испугался, что лицо у него не выйдет. Или же какой то его личный особый вкус. Но смотрится крайне странно с отреставрированными и заново прокрашенными другими деталями. Словно не на своем месте.
@@AwesomeRestorations good job 🚛
@@artysplash5969и вместо ленты с патронами осталась дыра.Странно это всё.
The visuals, the editing, the content, the in depth attention to detail, the macro shots......everything is just a work of art.
thank you so much :)
Even the beer fridge is organized and a work of art!
He's very good 👍🏼✌🏼🤣 have you checked out Chips Channel? He does toy restos ✌🏼he's magnificent 😂🤣👍🏼👍🏼✌🏼✌🏼💙💙
I completely agree with the above statement. Watching your videos are deeply satisfying and sooo soothing. Keep up the fantastic work!!
Agree👍
You deserve to be admired and followed. I have been following you for four or five years, my friend👍
Wow, thank you
Я каждый раз восхищаюсь, как из ржавого куска металла получается красота!!!! Вы - настоящий волшебник!!! Спасибо огромное за эстетику в Ваших видео!!!
glad you like it, thanks :)
As ALWAYS you did a beautiful restoration job on this piece. I LOVE the brass plate you added to the front of the wooden base !!!
thank you so much Gary for your kind words :)
What's worse than trying to remove a seized screw, with an easy-out? When the easy-out snaps in the screw. 03:04 This is one freaky video, Marty. 09:06 The owl hooting and the raven squawking is a laugh. It's nice to see a cooler full of liquid friends at hand. 12:47 Very nice restoration, Marty. The oak plinth with the brass name plate is very classy.
thanks so much for your comment I really appreciate it :)
@@AwesomeRestorations I need to binge-watch your channel. 👍
The owl blinks too!!!
Случайно попала на Ваш канал! Смотрю уже второй ролик, Вы ЗАМЕЧАТЕЛЬНЫЙ МАСТЕР!!! 👍👍👍😍
thank you so much and welcome to my channel 😊
Спасибо за видео, очень приятно смотреть за работой мастера.
thanks for watching :)
The magic begins! 🥰
thanks :)
For sure it’s like Marty AKA mr. Wizard 🧙
Long live Awesome Restorations!
Beautiful artistry from start to finish.
I love the item you chose to restore.
Did a quick google search. Seems to be a mechanical coin bank originally created by the J & E Stevens Company of Cromwell, CT (starting around 1877). They produced several variations.
thanks so much for your comment I really appreciate it :) they are really cool those old coin banks

You deserve to be admired and followed. I have been following you for four or five years, my friend
I know this may not be your only job and you’re busy and these videos take a long time to make but man, I wish you released one every week. You’re the best at this
thanks a lot - I will try to release more often but once a week will be too much :)
I suffer from anxiety and depression, but I don't know why, but your videos just relax and calm me. Not only are you doing a wonderful job restoring things, but you're also helping people, in a way you probably may not know. So thank you.
Thanks a lot for your comment. I am really happy to hear that it helps you watch my videos :)
Hey i know the cure. Get a job and stop gaming.
@@maddinswelt3163
Don’t be mean. That was a nice comment. And it was nice of Martin to reply. The world needs more nice and less anger. Don’t attack someone being nice. Just because someone has anxiety doesn’t mean they don’t work. Most anxiety comes from work. Just please be nice. I bet you are in real life.
Интересно было посмотреть какие 3 монетки оказались внутри копилки после их очистки. Спасибо за видео. Реставрация как всегда на высоте.
Я почему то подумал о том же самом 😁
To be honest I actually completely forgot all about the 3 coins. I will make a community post when I have cleaned them so you can see them 😊
@@AwesomeRestorations Yes please do. I am curious about the 3 coins. Maybe you could make a video to show us them being cleaned so we can see what they are.
Шикарное видео. Шикарная реставрация. Автор большой молодец👍🏻 Получаешь эстетическое удовольствие от проделанной им работы👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
thank you so much :)
Крутая работа! Всегда смотрю ваши видео, и отдыхаю! Спокойно, четко и круто! Спасибо за видосы! 😉😉😉
thank you so much :)
I don't think people realize how much thought goes into making these videos so weird and creepy. It's the small details like the moving doll and the owl in the spray booth that take the creepiness to an artistic level 😅
There is a saying: "The devil is in the details." And thanks to these small details, you get a spectacular video!
Your care with the little sound effects and the volumes of the noises is pure gold! You're the best, Martin!
thank you so much for your kind words :)
As a Vietnam veteran- you got your issues, I got mine. I love your craftsmanship, no doubt. But I also love hearing the owls 🦉 in your background. Kudos Dude.
thank you so much for your comment I am glad you like the video 😊
This man right here is a engineer,restorer,treasure hunter and an artist all in one. I would give up if i even tried once.
10M subs is definitely what this man deserves. Each video probably takes forever to get finished.
Every end product of the restoration is great and will always be.
I liked the part where the small parts were put into a deep-frying like container.
Just like McDonalds
thanks so much for your kind words I really appreciate it. And yes it also reminds me of french fries 🍟
As usual, a fantastic restoration. Oh, by the way, I’m sooo glad that the crickets and the Great Horned Owls are back in town. I wait with anticipation for each video that you give us, “ your loyal subscribers “. Thanks again for a great glimpse into your hobby. Much appreciated, thanks Martin. 😎
thanks so much for your comment I really appreciate it :)
Ура! Новое видео! :) Обожаю смотреть реставрацию именно на вашем канале. Очень нравится ваша подача материала) Выпускайте видосы почаще.
p.s. Как вам идея о розыгрыше реставрированных вами вещей или быть может аукцион и продажа?
Я думаю аукцион многим бы понравился))
thank you so much next video will be soon. I don't sell the restored objects I keep them :)
@@AwesomeRestorations может быть тогда сделать мерч с вашими логотипами только на различных инструментах?)
Поражаюсь мастерством ! Золотые руки! Спасибо за ролики!
thank you so much :)
Про золотые руки согласен,но то ,что выше кистей не очень.
Ваши действия завораживают. Отдельное удовольствие -фон. Настоящий АСМР. Можно смотреть и слушать бесконечно. Хочется тоже что то уметь и обладать таким внушительным арсеналом инструментов и приспособлений.
thank you so much I really appreciate it 😊
Great subject matter! I love to see these old toys get a new life.
All the attention to historic detail is preserved and you end up
with one mighty fine looking piece of a kid's era plaything.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks a lot :)
I LOVE THE IMAGINATION OF THIS ARTIST, MAKING HIS TOYS AND FIGURES TAKING PART OF HIS ACTIVITIES, I LOVE IT!!!
thank you so much I really appreciate it 😊
How come creations like this are no longer being created.We are going backwards my friends. Thanks for moving us a little forward Martin. 💪😎❤️
Thanks for watching and for your kind words I really appreciate it 👍🏻 :)
As usual, another incredible restoration complete! But, a caveat. Please, if not for yourself, then for your fans, please wear a particulate mask when grinding pewter. It contains lead and antimony, both are toxic metals, and I certainly don't want you to be sick. Take care of your lungs, I didn't and pay the price every day. Thanks again for you wonderful videos brother. God bless. Rev. D.
Yesss finally! I always enjoy watching you restore
Glad to hear it!
Wow Martin! This is an amazing work, from.the restauration to the editing, absolutely fantastic! I love the fact there were some old coins left inside the coin bank! Where did you find this amazing coin bank? I've never seen one like that, very original! Good job Martin, keep going! 👍👍🍻
thank you so much - I bought it from an antique store online :)
@@AwesomeRestorations Another great job...thank you for sharing! What was the denomination of the three coins? 🤔
Awesome work, Dude. Kudos from Vietnam veteran. Ya done good, Dude, better than new. Keep up the good work!
Martin, that was a great restoration. I am so happy you preserved the hunters face. Also, you also are an amazing alchemist! Cheers!
Thank you very much👍 Cheers 🍻
I love how you present each piece... Always a joy to watch you bringing life back each piece. great job!!
thank you so much David glad you liked it :)
Вы просто молодец браво,восхищаюсь такими людьми и уважаю. Всех благ.😊😊😊😊
thank you so much 😊
Enjoy the variety of wonderful things you keep alive my friend , thank you ..!!!!
thank you so much :)
Your restorative abilities are AWESOME. There is nothing on this planet that is old and broken that doesn't have hope.
thanks so much for your kind words :)
Офигено!)) Очень много работы было проделано, и результат впечатляет!
Очень нравятся ваши видосы. Доброго Вам здоровья и успехов...
Just seen your latest restoration Martin & it is so good to see you back doing what you do. You are without a doubt the best at restoration’s & presenting them. So good to see in these dark times with what is going on in the Ukraine. Let us all hope that good prevails & that everyone is safe & sound as is possible?
Great to have you back.
thanks for your comment Robert :)
Ótimas restaurações ,,,, já cheguei dando dedada no like kkkkkk
Lo detallista que es en la restauración es increíble, hay que tener una paciencia de Dioses y un gran amor por su trabajo. "FELICIDADES".
thank you so much :)
I’ve missed watching these. Welcome back.👍
thanks so much
I saw the lovely phrase "This needs Sandblasting" on the screen and I hollered in celebration and woke my puppy up. Lol she now knows how excited I get for Sandblasting scenarios.
Day quota fulfilled🥰😍
Thank you so much for watching 😉👍
When I need to unwind, I come and watch videos like this master piece. Now my only question is...The sound of the birds, owls, crickets is that added in , or is that what you hear when you are working? Cause if it is , its heavenly. You are true master of your work.
Que bom te ver em ação! Estava sentindo falta de seus vídeos e ver essas belas restaurações. Adorei a placa do banco! E como sempre, um excelente trabalho! Parabéns.
thank you so much :)
Вы великий мастер!!! Это чудесно, что вы можете и делаете. Любуюсь Вашими руками и работой.
И Вам очень идёт тату)
many thanks for your kind words :)
I love watching a craftsman bring a treasure back to life, greetings from an airborne brother from over the pond.
thanks a lot Kevan :)
OMG!!! Awesome! Good job my friend!

Обожаю звуки природы, инструментов и предметов. Это просто бальзам на уши после трудового дня)
thank you so much
I love these old cast iron coin banks. I used to get a catalog full of different banks, dogs jumping through hoops and golf players. So many types! Now I wish I had bought one or two!
they are really cool :)
I've been looking forward to another restoration. Your videos have such a nice style I love all the little things you put in the background, the owl winks and usually some weird reflection. Thanks for the great vids, awesome work. Can't wait for the next one.
thanks a lot for your kind words :)
Martin has his own individual style)
Such a magnificent work! :) Well done my dear friend! :)
Thank you! Cheers!
О, какая интересная копилка! Прекрасное восстановление!

Ahhh yes! Glad you are back
thanks you - nice to be back :)
I'm sorry but I love all the little things you add like the voice over "You are next" Or that little figure in the back moving to the right. Its so weird but so unique and makes these videos even more enjoyable. Always love seeing these Older rusty restorations.
thank you very much for your kind words :)
Simplemente espectacular, un muy buen trabajo...me encanto👏🏼

So happy and relieved that you left the hunter's face practically untouched! Perfect decision! But feeling a bit ashamed now:
I shouldn't have doubted your feeling for how to treat all these old treasures with due respect. You always do. Never failing.
thanks so much for your kind words I appreciate it :)
Had to type my thoughts throughout haha
-Does a sandblaster recycle the sand somehow?
-The wire dispensers are adorable
-Cleaning fluid looks strangely delicious in that bottle?
-I love the tiny paint cans!
-What an awesome lion tattoo!
-Holy shit the end result looks amazing and it actually works! I'm obsessed with these videos now
-No
-Thank you 👍
-Dont drink it it does not taste good 😉
-me too
-Thanks a lot, it resembles my family
-Thanks for watching and dont forget to subscribe then 👍😉
Привет,как всегда супер,лайк поставил👍👍👍
thank you so much :)
I only disagree with one thing. The brass label should read "Totally Awesomely Restored Coin Bank". Wonderful job as usual. A real pleasure to watch a true artist at work!!!
thank you so much William 😊
Another first dude!! Love LOVE YOUR WORK!!! 😘
Yay! Thank you!
Also (I admit, I always watch these before I go to sleep and I paused to finish later because I was falling asleep 🤣) that is probably the coolest coinbank I've ever seen!! Lol
thank you very much I am glad this makes you feel relaxed 😉
Once again you never fail to impress. Ridiculous detail and craftsmanship. I particularly enjoyed you Bloodsport reference..."You are NEXT" BRILLIANT!
Wow, thank you!
Дуже гарна скарбничка! Працюєте, ви дуже вміло, цікаво дивитись.
thank you I am glad you think so :)
Как всегда СУПЕР! 😀
