What a beautiful piece of history! Thank you for restoring it and show here on youtube. I also use a lot of old tools in my workshop, I have for example an old vice made in the old Soviet Union!
This is probably the best video I've seen in years. Also, the world really needs the message in this video right now because the consumerist society which prevailed before may shortly be no longer sustainable. Please keep making videos, I'll always support!
These days anyone who fixes things is known as a "maker" or a "tinkerer" or something else but when I was growing up that was pretty much everyone so there was not title for it. I've had to adapt though - some things just weren't made to be repaired.
Hey Rob, I try to think about this when I purchase anything. If it's at all possible I don't get things which I can see cannot be easily repaired. That's why I love to buy old tools, they are easily repaired and have a lot of parts floating around for them.
@@DmitriIvanov I like your approach - and tools is one category where fortunately old ones work just as well as new ones in many cases. Things like modern electronics - cell phones etc are a different story. I had a broken pressure washer (Kärcher) which had a completely sealed motor and pump - no screws, but with incredibly tough inflexible clips - I couldn't get in there to even take a look and in the end I had to buy a new one ffs!
This is the first video I watched on the phone I just fixed. Just installed a new charging port. Most people I know would not dare open their phone, but I've fixed every phone I've ever owned at least once before moving on to a new one. Unfortunately, the planned obsolescence gets me eventually, I usually have to move on to a new one because the software gets so slow its unusable.
That's the most frustrating part of phones. I kept a Nexus 4 alive for nearly 6 years by using the lineage os , if you don't know about it check it out! Gives phones a new lease on life!

I saw that when I was watching one of your videos. Do you have a photo of it?
@@DmitriIvanov Yes, I can send it to you on Instagram ;-)

Totally agree with your message. Engineered obsolescence. Consumer grade garbage destined for a land fill... Sad.
