Dude. Not only is that extremely impressive work, more than that it's quite literally heartwarming to see what you produce and the methods you use. I remember a little while ago when you asked if you should start to include the use of power tools. So so glad to see you found your own brilliant and inventive way around the issue. Your work is inspirational. A constant reminder of what effort and patience can bring. Bless you brother 🙏. Keep 'em coming! 😎
I don't know what to say, thank you so much brother. This means a lot to any video creator, especially me since I am trying to fight against Goliath (¨David and Goliath story¨). It gives so much energy and motivation to go step further. I am extremely grateful to have such support and help in making decisions about the development of this channel. God bless you! Stay safe brother!
Give this man a like, for such hustle. Been watching restoration videos and never seen somebody do everything without the need of electricity. GOOD JOB FELLA. 👍🏽
@@FFD_Restorations have you thought about using a flywheel to keep the machine speed a little more constant? Or do you vary the speed depending on what you need at any given moment?
As a pipesmoker and woodworker, every time you pried something open and found either gum, ashes or burnt wood I kept saying: "This dude must have stopped and took some time to keep his head cool, because I'd have quit out of despair". Amazing job, my dude.
I've been smoking a pipe for 43 years, and I really appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into fine pipe making. This is truly an amazing pipe of great beauty, complexity, and uniqueness. Thank you for taking the time and effort to give it a new life! You did an extraordinary job..... Especially with manual (nonpower) tooling. You exemplify what is truly meant by the word "Craftsman". I might suggest though...... You probably need to drill or ream that bowl a bit deeper in order to accommodate enough tobacco for a decent smoke.
I have never seen someone restore items with no electric/power tools. It is truly fascinating to watch you do this all without the help of power tools etc. Very good content, thank you for sharing and keeping the "Old ways" alive 👍🙂
Came across your video because I like watching restoration videos. I got to admit I loved this restoration because of your shop and tools, but mostly your skills. I am hooked. Please keep the videos coming I'll be on the lookout from now on.
I remember me Dad had a pipe like dat when I was a wee lad. He would come home from the mine have a bit of supper and then relax with his ole pipe. I still get goosebumps when I remember him given me my first pipe and a glass of Jameson. It was the best Birthday a 5year old boy could ever ave.
Sir really very happy to see you restoring things without using electric power. A good step towards conservation of energy..and we should learn from you. thank u
You have pretty much set up new benchmark of hardworking and quality of restoration. This is my first time on your channel and you made me your subscriber :) kudos !!!
Люблю смотреть как работают люди, у которых руки из нужного места растут! Тем более молодые. Значит не все в этом мире наркоманы и алкоголики! Значит у некоторых вполне себе на месте и голова, и интересы, и творческая натура и хороший вкус! Таким людям желаю удачи, успеха, удовлетворения и радости от сделанной работы! I love to watch how people work, whose hands grow from the right place! All the more young. It means that not all drug addicts and alcoholics in this world! It means that some have their heads, interests, creative nature and good taste in their place! I wish such people good luck, success, satisfaction and joy from the work done!
Just watched a grand knife restoration using laser cutters and all mod cons. Now I'm watching a gent whose idea of power tools is a treadle sewing machine as a base for a compressor and a saw. Superbly done,sir! Absolutely superb.
Sadly, arthritis and neuropathy have taken my ability to do any project like this...but watching your video was sheer joy! I love all the hand/foot powered tools especially the old sewing machine you use! yes, I did hit subscribe and like! Wonderful job!
I’m glad the YT-algorithm suggested this channel! I like restorations and especially when it’s done with the least amount of powertools but instrad with maximum amount of skill. And you provide that plenty. Instant sub. Thank you so much for your content!
Ein großes Lob für die Werkstatt. Du arbeitest mit Werkzeug ohne Strom. 👍Und sehr gut ausgestattet. Deine Arbeit ist sauber und korrekt. Das gefällt sehr gut. Ich habe eine sehr alte Kaffeemühle für die Wand, die dringend restauriert werden muss.
Awesome brother...❤️ For the first time I am seeing a guy who is doing restoration with full of manual tools... Kudos to your effort... Subscribed...👍🏻 Lots of love and support from Tamilnadu, India..! 🇮🇳🥰🤝
To go and modify and old treadle sewing machine table into a working power source for your rotary tool, and other such tools is absolutely incredibly smart. The pipe is so cool and I love how you added the lid and the stand is awesome also. Thank you so much for sharing
Hey Chemento! Thanks a lot. Most of the foot/hand powered tools are made by someone else in the past and I was fortunate to be able to buy them. But the converted sewing machine desk to treadle powered rotary tool I did. Note that the video is a longer one. You can take a look at this link here: ua-cam.com/video/h1lcOOSuUVI/v-deo.html Also I talk little bit about my shop in this video: ua-cam.com/video/z3JBmDLsKWg/v-deo.html
Find Fix Donate , you are the NON laziest person i have ever had the pleasure to watch restorations done by . I myself love to restore things but I like to make progress and completion to move on to the next restoration . What you do only using muscle power tools makes the restoration seem super human . Your Grandfather is exponentially proud of you . Superior craftsmanship ! Did you get that pipe from someone in the middle east ?
Wow, thank you so much! Big thank you also for reading the about page and saying that. That means a lot to me 👍 I actually bought it here in Norway. The seller found it in old barn and didn't know much about the pipe. If you have any additional info I would love to hear about it. Thanks again! Take care!
@@FFD_Restorations I did a little pipe research for you and found similar pipes made in Germany and Austria in the 1850's . 50 years after the discovery of Meerschaum( 1800's) being carvable and insulative (porous mineral) for use in pipe bowls . Your's looks similar to a 19th century German Kalmasch Estate pipe on Ebay . You did make an error in putting the finger ring on top instead of the bottom in final assembly . These style pipes made their way all over Europe and Middle East after becoming popular with pipe enthusiasts. Google : Antique German Kalmasch Meerschaum pipe .
Thank you once again for valuable info and help in research. That is awesome to know. About the ring side, I did that with purpose. Since it is a display piece in my office, hanging with a ring up shows the pipe in a better way in my opinion. Well done for noticing that small detail. Stay safe my friend!
This guy was the inspiration for the movie “The forty year old virgin. “ Nice work. I quit smoking tobacco three years ago but I know an awesome pipe when I see one.
@@FFD_Restorations your welcome dude. I like the simplistic way you do your work. Less things to go wrong. You are in control of everything. That's how it should be
Wow! You’re probably one of the only people on the internet that actually restores, instead of just replacing the whole thing with new parts and calling it a “restoration”
Exactly! I was amazed when he retained and restored that original old dusty string lace of the pipe! If it were those other “restorers” it must have been trashed and replaced with some shiny dangly chain! Lol!
Ho Yes! I like all the non electric tools you working with. I got an old fashioned Silk weaving and spinning wheel from Vietnam, really something I like to put it the use.
Hi, Great work indeed! The pipe is made from a material called Meerschaum, a very porous chalk-like stone, which starts off brilliant white and is coloured by the tobacco.(Translation is 'Sea Foam') the braided portion is actually horse hair. these pipes come in various lengths and were sometimes decorated further by the owners. This one has had an amzing amount of use and must have been a cherished posession!

@@FFD_Restorations have you thought about using a flywheel to keep the machine speed a little more constant? Or do you vary the speed depending on what you need at any given moment?
I like your multifunctional adaptation of grandmother's sewing machine
Thank you!
What''s the RPM on that thing?
I have an old Singer treadle table I have been thinking about doing that with. Is there a video about that?
Right that is creative and badass
E great Idea
Great video. I don't smoke a pipe, but have always loved them. Was blown away by the treadle dremmel. Stroke of genius!
Thanks a lot Barry! Much appreciated ☺️👍

May I just say,how wonderful it is to hear the sound of wood being worked,and it not being drowned out with music.THANK YOU.
That is great to hear. Thank you for the feedback and watching 👍
This is the first restoration video I'm giving a thumbs up, solely because of the tools you're using for it. Bravo!

I would advise mounting a big heavy flywheel on your manual tools, it will let you work a whole lot smoother
Great advice
DUDE!!!!!! Everything about this video and how you did, with what you did, is straight up PHENOMENAL!!! Beautiful end result!!
Thanks!
My pipe smoking days are well behind me but the care and expertise at restoring that pipe brought me back a gentler and happier time in my life.

Hi, Great work indeed! The pipe is made from a material called Meerschaum, a very porous chalk-like stone, which starts off brilliant white and is coloured by the tobacco.(Translation is 'Sea Foam') the braided portion is actually horse hair. these pipes come in various lengths and were sometimes decorated further by the owners. This one has had an amzing amount of use and must have been a cherished posession!
Thanks 🙏
