1957 Tonka Steam Shovel Digger State Highway Truck Restoration HiWay 4K
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 чер 2022
- I purchased this 1957 Tonka State HiWay Steam Shovel as a set with the truck and flatbed trailer on an online auction site January of 2022 for $251.45 after shipping. The steam shovel was missing the chain spool on the top, as well as the excavator reinforcement rods and tracks, otherwise it was all there, which is pretty impressive for being 65 years old. The orange color I used is one of my favorite colors from Prismatic Powders, It's called "Bright Orange" and always comes out incredibly bright. This is only the second time I've attempted to make my own rubber tracks and I'm pretty happy with how they came out, however I'm not entirely sure how to prevent the few remaining air bubbles from forming in my finished parts, If you have any suggestions I would gladly hear them. Overall I'm extremely happy with how this little steam shovel turned out and hope you enjoy the video as well. Thanks again for watching!!

Amazing video love watching them keep up the good wrok can't Waite see some more videos
Nice job. Cute cat. Shorten the chain.
We had a new one just about like that... just about that year..... reminds me of childhood.
Christmas present under the tree... a pine green shiny Tonka steam shovel.
Congratulation chip Channel the Fábio and Rafael from Brazil. The best restauration.
If you want to make the dump work, you are supposed to fill it with sheep! No one hammers as fast as you either! Another great restoration.
:)
TIP TO PREVENT BUBBLES: After filling the mold with resin, rap it on the table-top a few times.
This shock will settle the resin in the mold & displace the air pockets.
Several "hard" raps should do it.
Best regards,
Ben
or put it in a pressure pot
@@oges74 ...at negative pressure
I could watchh this all day
Put the molds in a vertical plane and inject the mold from the bottom. As the inject material rises, it will push the air upward. You can then plug the injection holes after the material comes out holes in that level. Vibration (consider a random orbital sander without abrasive) as you are injecting will help to fill the small voids in the mold.
My 3yr old son loved every minute of this, as did I. Wonderful work, I'm sure we will be watching many more episodes together👍
Another great job in restoring an old used toy and ready to play with again.
I wouldn't have the patience in a million years to restore those toys, but it's so satisfying to see you do it...and to know that it'll be perfect when you're done. Thank you! 🐾
IT'S GOOD TOO SEE CLASSIC TOYS BEEN RESTORATION THANK YOU SO MUCH I LOVE HOW HE'S TAKING OF THEME I STILL HAVE ALL OF MY TOYS FROM THE 70s
😊 43:22
Good restoration
Beautiful resto. Had the same steam shovel along with a 56 Ford dump and a grader. Dug, loaded, dumped and graded the side yard of our house for many hours. Thanks for sharing and bringing back some great memories.
That shovel actually looked happy being the one picked to restore! And afterwards, jubilant and proud...
great job👍👍
Loved the tow truck
I love the work 'Chip Channel Restorations' does. But when I watch his work I often open a second browser to UA-cam and play 'Elevator Music - 1 hour' during his work... make the time just fly by peacefully.
Beautiful restoration 🐈 😻 🐈⬛
Very, very well job. Better made than the factory did.
Really looking forward to the steam engine I keep seeing.
I see you changed the bucket around. Great job.
The issue with the dumping can be solved by shortening the chain attached to the bucket, it should open just before fully extended. I enjoy watching your videos!
I'm thinking the same way 😁
Looks to me like you would need a spring to close it. Maybe.
I am always amazed that none of the tabs break when bending them open! Great work!
Those tabs are amazingly stout. I worked on a 62 Tonka Jeep, and getting the tabs open was a challenge.
Excellent work!
That's a cheerful little machine. Great job. Thank you
Absolutely class job
As usual, masterful.
Well done, sir.
Great stuff as always
Wow how beautiful
47:05 Could it be that the chain that is supposed to release the bottom of the dump is too long, when the arm reaches a certain height? Judging the mechanism, i suppose that once it reaches a certain height, the chain should pull the lever and release the bottom of the dump.
Or the upper tension arms were made a little long which would change the geometry of the bucket release. But the simple solution would be to shorten the bucket release chain as previously mentioned.
that's my call-shorten the bucket release chain-and oil/adjust dump mechs.

My grandpa had a toy when he was a kid that looked exactly like that!
I like so much how you are always using and learning new technics and asking for tips. This video was special to me because my grandfather operated earth moving machines back in the day. Another amazing restoration. Hope the sheep survived that the cat got. I didn't see an I'm okay after he fell.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Chip, my wife says raise the mold an inch off the surface and drop it several times and the bubbles will rise to the top inside the mold and break. She does this when she is baking a cake. It’s an old baker’s secret
Good job 👍🏻
Cool stuff always 😎 👌 👍
Your knowledge and skills are amazing.
Chip, so beautiful! Love the color .
Love the tool that lets you create the track. It's so cool.
Beaker is so beautiful, love her coloring. Also when you pet her, she looks so solid. So satisfying.
Cheers
Neat rebuild loved that thanks.
Well done!
I would love to see the big train engine done....love your work, I've watched others and they don't compare..
Beautiful restoration job!!... You turned rust to gold again!!
After all these years still going strong at Tonka
Looks great.😊
The dump seems too snug. Especially when you snapped it back in place. BTW I HAD that toy about 1958 or 9. My 70 year old brain really remembers the dump being quite free opening. Great job!! Thanks for the memories.
My brothers had one just like this. I was 3 when I played with it in the early months of 1958. Such nostalgia!
Awesome job…
toy's are very special for us . it's emotional to see them brand new again. this is why we enjoy your videos so much.
this was amazing , l am impressed by your work yet again . Thank you.
great job , I love your cat !
I love seeing when you make molds for new parts!
Love the cat !
Beautiful color Orange awesome
новый видос, мед на душу, спасибо :) оставлю на потом, буду перед сном смотреть, чтоб хорошие сны снились.
Awesome job!!! I can hardly wait for the train or the tank!!!
I'm waiting for a blue rope shovel
I love the satisfying clicking sound when the parts go easily together…great job!
Excellent jobs keeps the good works God bless 🙏
Precioso trabajo. Me gusta mucho el gato y las ovejitas también.
Great job as always Chip, I hope you restore that locomotive next
Great job!!!
Beautiful work!
Love the orange. 👏
Excelente trabajo 👏 👍 💪 👌 como siempre 👏
Absolutely Amazing, Great job, thank you for sharing😁
Watching out how I covered the roof of my car with amazing vinyl wrap - you'll love it!
Absolutely MInt! The Tonka Steam Shovel never looked this good even when it was brans new back in 1957. Well done Chip!
Chip, another great restoration! But the rims should have been orange, like the body! Because of the dirty nature of the work, rims were painted to match the body.
Hi, you have very professional videos, I can't even imagine how much all your equipment costs. Knowing how much our models from the USSR cost, I imagine how much yours cost. And how do you sell them, or for your own collection? I'll tell you straight out you're a super pro, you do it perfectly!!!
Beautiful restoration mister professionally restored well done
Fantastic !
Cars also have a god who gives them a second life. 😃👍
The care, attention and craftsmanship is absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!
Even with the dump not working thats still pretty incredible
Another excellent transformation. Love the 'bright orange.
Just beautiful!
That cab is probably the earliest recorded instance of the creeper face.
Nice restoration Chip, great paint job, maybe shorten the chain?
Rubber track creation... AMAZING!!!!
Wonderful and beautiful and more than amazing
32:20 To prevent bubbles when Engineers make concrete elements they use to vibrate the fresh concrete using specialized vibrators but at this scale maybe a little DC motor conected to the mold with screws or give the mold a couple of hits with a rubber mallet
I love watching these videos to help me fall asleep at night. There's something so relaxing about watching you work
Amazing work! Loved my Tonka toy's as a kid. I used to have a large clam bucket crane you could sit on.
To reduce bubbling warm your resin with a torch slightly and they will surface, hopefully through the pour holes.
I love watching you restoring this classic toys...it is hypnotic. Having your kitty inspect the finished product is a sweet touch...no surprise to me that you love what you do!
you did a great job restoring the digger truck.
Man, what you do is an art form. I can only imagine the fun you have perusing garage sales, estate sales, Ebay etc. looking for old die cast to restore.
I truly admire your skills and perseverance, congratulations
I Vote that the Locomotive be the next restoration!
U hv the best sand gun.... Its power is astonishing. ...
Your best work.
Another great video! I am sure that I am not the only one that would appreciate a tour of your shop layout and the tools you use to work your magic. Thank you
Good morning from California. You certainly make awesome videos with these restorations.
Один из немногих каналов по реставрации, который нравится смотреть. С самого начала видео знаю что результат будет отличный
Ddfrs
U are doing a great job for bringing back the old toy
Wow‼️a very nice restoration on that toy. Hope someone can enjoy it again in a sand box. 🇨🇦
On the bubbles. By going hole to hole you trap air between each hole. I suggest less fill holes and more vent holes. I appreciate your sharing the track process. I've made a mold for a track I haven't found online based on your process and will be injecting it later this week. Thanks for the inspiration.
You need to fill the form from hole to hole in a row, including the one from which the rubber has just come out.
You is the best. Congratulations
Beautiful job👌Very nice 👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
A perfectionist .
Unparalleled work! Congratulations!!! Aracaju/Sergipe/Brasil.
would love to see the big train get refurbished,your work is second to none
love this!
To prevent bubbles, put the mold in a vacuum chamber after filling and pump down to as low a pressure as you can get. The air bubbles will expand and break out, and then you can top up as needed, then put into the pressure chamber you use...
I understand the vacuum chamber but what does the pressure pot do?
