The powder coat time lapse is always neat, and I love seeing the labels remade, too. This is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing this with your viewers.
To see the reflection of your workspace in your tools shows you take as much care of them as you do your restorations, the mark of a true craftsman. Wonderful video.
Very nicely done. It always amazes me how people used to make quality items years ago and if it broke an effort was made to fix it. Nowadays people spend as little as possible to make something and when it breaks the consumer just throws it away and buys another one.
We have to go back to that way of doing things. That's the only way to be sustainable. Stop buying Chinese crap for cheap. Wait a while, save up to quality items. You don't have to have that thing right away. And yes, crap is manufactured everywhere.
Quels objets magnifiques on faisait il y moins d'un siècle ! 😢...ces petites merveilles meritent bien d'être restaurées et admirées ! Merci de leur rendre vie ,et de montrer à tous que la qualité est faite pour traverser les siècles 😊! 👍✨🌟🙏🤩
This was one of the best restorations I've seen in a while. I really appreciate it when a restorer completely disassembles a piece and is willing to do the necessary work, to make it as good as new. When you researched, found the label and recreated it, I was thoroughly impressed. The powder coat was the frosting on the cake. I just subscribed to your channel and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Awesome job.
You are a man of great detail. I do appreciate you taking the time to share this work with us. Thank you. Vous êtes un homme de grand détail. Je vous remercie d'avoir pris le temps de partager ce travail avec nous. Merci.
Thank you so much for another episode. I don’t watch any of the other restorers after seeing your videos because they always leave me disappointed. Your attention to detail is as incredible as your workmanship. This isn’t about $$, this is about restoring the beauty and function of items. ❤️
What a work of art. Thanks for the video. Powder Coating is always my favourite. That label must have taken forever to recreate! Beautiful work. Thanks.
This bad boy isn't as efficient as the electronic dispensers today, but it got the job done. You restored a wonderful piece of history. Great work, as always!
Yes, the old label was a very nice touch. So beautiful! Thanks for this, it’s always great to see something once thrown away become useful and handsome again.
Excellent job Mr. Old Things, and a fantastic choice of project 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. That little old tape dispenser is so totally beautiful from a different time. Thank you very much for sharing 🙏🏻. 😎
Thanks for a wonderful video. You always choose such interesting items to restore that not only look good but are fascinating to watch when restored. The workmanship is also amazing. Thankfully you are not one of these "near enough is good enough" restorers, rather, you can see the amount of time and effort you put into these restorations.
Franchement je viens de découvrir votre chaîne et j´adore !! C´est top !!! Quel savoir ! Pas simplement pour la restauration en soi mais également pour savoir à quoi servait ces produits d´autrefois. Bravo
I certainly wouldn't know what that thing is if you didn't tell me. For me, this looks like something deserves to be displayed in a museum. Gorgeous work of art.
Hi what a great restoration I enjoyed watching the video in fact I enjoy watching all your restoration they are interesting and I like watching you make parts for an item. You are very talented and knowledgeable. Amanda from Scotland xx
Well, of course the previous repair was done poorly. It wasn't done with your skill and care and appreciation for the original craftsmanship. Excellent work, as always. 👍
Some of your best work. If I wasn't already a subscriber, this would have pulled me in. Such amazing detail and meticulous work for a.... tape dispenser. The person who designed it would be proud!
5:58 It’s fascinating how nobody today would make something so ornate, then slap a huge label on it like that. But back then everything was made that beautifully. Then they even made the label beautiful, so it’s not really that intrusive. This entire design concept would be absolutely foreign to modern commercial designers.
My jewelry store that was opened in 1950 has a tape dispenser like this. Not near as fancy but the same concept. Not used anymore but we have it on a shelf for "vintage" tools! 😅
That's quite a fancy dispenser. I've used that type of dispenser before, when I worked in shipping. Same concept, but they looked nothing like that one!
I wish that beautiful almost pinkish color from the copper could have been saved, it was stunning. What a beautiful piece! They sure don't make them like this anymore.
Super petit objet 😳 très classe,je connaissais pas jamais vu se genre de choses en France et comme je parle pas anglais😞 j'ai du attendre la fin mais c'est pas grave , bravo pour se petit sauvetage 👍 bonne fête de fin d'année bye bye 👋. Nathalie 🇫🇷 Normandie
I used to use a similar but less elaborate tape machine. It had a brush that would wet the tape and we had to periodically clean the gum that built up on the brush from the glue of the paper tape
It’s really sad how we’ve stopped caring about art and beauty just because it’s not “practical” and “cost-efficient”, in a world driven by who can make most profit it’s nice to find these little corners of beauty
There should be a very fine foam sponge on the roller for the water-I don't know where you get them, probably an industrial supply as these dispensers are still used. They had these in the stores when I was a kid and I still used them in a factory as an adult. They never wear out. Without the sponge, it drips and does not distribute the water evenly. They wore out pretty quick if they got a tear in them.

@@smooshiebear80 Not sure, I've just recently started 3D printing and have only worked in PLA & a bit in PETG (two different types of plastic) I've tried one wood filament a bit, but it's honestly hard to differentiate from plastic. But from what I've seen, I don't think printing in metal or wood would be that difficult. These are nice large pieces. Even the screws could be printed.

The powder coat is my favourite part too, thank you 😊
Very nicely done.

I like when it shines 😁
I genuinely love that you take the time to find and repair even the labels. Thank you for your efforts~ you are my favourite restoration channel.
Thank you very much ! ☺️
Seriously it's such a nice touch
For a tape dispenser, this thing is INSANELY complex. Also gorgeous and very steampunk. Great job!
Not steampunk... just steam era :P
Very nicely done. It always amazes me how people used to make quality items years ago and if it broke an effort was made to fix it. Nowadays people spend as little as possible to make something and when it breaks the consumer just throws it away and buys another one.
Victorians especially suddenly had money and light in their houses, so an emphasis was put on acquiring Beautiful Things.
We have to go back to that way of doing things. That's the only way to be sustainable. Stop buying Chinese crap for cheap. Wait a while, save up to quality items. You don't have to have that thing right away.
And yes, crap is manufactured everywhere.
Economy doesn't work well with lasting items.
It was the top 10% that had lovely things like this. Everyone else used twine.
I agree 100%.
The best restoration channel! No unnecessary words and movements, no music, with humor. Just the process from start to finish. Keep up the good work!
Old things do indeed never die, as long as someone is out there to polish them up. Fantastic work as always a keep
The label replacement was next level! I can’t get enough of your videos 😍
This is so cool! I had no idea there were old tape dispensers like this!!
Same, until I find it 😲
Me, neither. But now i REALLY want one for my desk....
That is one sexy tape dispenser.
…well that’s a phrase I never expected to utter.
😂😂
I don’t know what I prefer the most, sandblasting or powder-coating. Love the transformation ❤
Powder coating is my favourite part 😊
@@OldThingsNeverDie- same! watching the matte powder turn into a brilliant glassy shine is just like magic!
Thank you for breathing new life into this beautiful vintage equipment. So cathartic to watch. ❤

I never knew you could powder coat on a varnish. I have learned something new today
I always look forward to your videos. You never disappoint. 😍 Joyeux Noël!
Wow, thank you very much 🙏. Joyeux Noël également ! 🎅
Basically the same mechanism used in tape dispensers today. Thank you again for your marvelous videos!
Dan
Great restoration. The finish on the water box is the only thing that let it down.
You are a man of great detail. I do appreciate you taking the time to share this work with us. Thank you. Vous êtes un homme de grand détail. Je vous remercie d'avoir pris le temps de partager ce travail avec nous. Merci.

Thank you very much Helen ! 😊
I have used many a modern version of this tape dispenser, yours works better. Big plus, yours is also beautiful. Well done.
Thank you 🙂
@@OldThingsNeverDie- ❤️
Wow, a tape dispenser that actually work. That is the novel concept for me 🙂
I can't believe how the victorians made everything so beautiful.
What a work of art. Thanks for the video. Powder Coating is always my favourite. That label must have taken forever to recreate! Beautiful work. Thanks.
Yes, it took me 2 days to recreate the label but it worth it 😊
Beautiful job! Surprised at how many parts there were and how complicated the mechanism was, an amazing little machine!
So many parts for just a little piece of tape 😅
This bad boy isn't as efficient as the electronic dispensers today, but it got the job done. You restored a wonderful piece of history. Great work, as always!
Beautiful restoration job you did on the tape dispenser. It looks much better and it works like a charm too. Excellent work as usual.
Thank you Georges ! 😉
This is the best one I've seen I think! I kept just saying wow! Every time you showed a new shiny piece, and the label recreation is perfect!
Yes the new label was the icing on the cake, thank you ! 😊
Wow, I had no idea this was a thing! 🤯
Yes, the old label was a very nice touch. So beautiful! Thanks for this, it’s always great to see something once thrown away become useful and handsome again.

A beautiful instrument after your restoration. It's so calming to watch your videos, thanks.
Beautiful work, I however would have loved to see it in a brass finish with black inlay around the filigree on the base
oooh, that sounds very shnazzy indeed
Once upon a time before everything was plastic...great job!
And repairable... 😌
I was thinking why this thing has so many parts and thanks to you always showing a demonstration of the thing at the end I understood
Victorian design was so
✨ EXTRA ✨
I certainly wouldn't know what that thing is if you didn't tell me. For me, this looks like something deserves to be displayed in a museum. Gorgeous work of art.
Excellent restoration. It's the first time I see that kind of old gadget.
Keep it up your great work, OTND 😉👌.

Superbe travail comme d'habitude . On se régal à chacune de tes restaurations .
Merci ça fait plaisir 😊
Awesome restoration. the newly restored tape dispenser looks beautiful.
A beautiful tape dispenser just in time for wrapping presents 😊🎁

Lol i like the willheim scream you added 😂 that never gets old whenever its used in games or other movies
Hands down the best restoration videos available. Well done 🥩
Thank you ! 😉
I love when you have a new video.❤. The precise way you work reminds me of my father working on his projects. Joyeux Noel et Bonne Annee 🎅🥂
Merci, ravi ça vous ait plu. Joyeux Noël 😊🎅
amazing work, its stuff like taking the time to remake the label design yourself that i love to see
The most difficult part but it was worth it 😊
My jewelry store that was opened in 1950 has a tape dispenser like this. Not near as fancy but the same concept. Not used anymore but we have it on a shelf for "vintage" tools! 😅
Yes it would be perfect in a curiosity cabinet
That's quite a fancy dispenser. I've used that type of dispenser before, when I worked in shipping. Same concept, but they looked nothing like that one!
I wish that beautiful almost pinkish color from the copper could have been saved, it was stunning. What a beautiful piece! They sure don't make them like this anymore.
Awsome job, you did it great with the label.

Merci beaucoup Nathalie, ravi que ça vous ai plu. Bonne fêtes à vous aussi, à bientôt 🙂
That is still a useful tool! Thank you for restoring it!
I used to use a similar but less elaborate tape machine. It had a brush that would wet the tape and we had to periodically clean the gum that built up on the brush from the glue of the paper tape
Comme quoi, à l’époque on se donnait du mal pour fabriquer de beaux objets bien conçu et de qualité, great job 🤩👍
Ouais ça avait de la gueule ! Merci pour le commentaire 😉
I just threw away an empty, plastic tape dispenser and then saw this. Long ago there was a more beautiful world.
It’s really sad how we’ve stopped caring about art and beauty just because it’s not “practical” and “cost-efficient”, in a world driven by who can make most profit it’s nice to find these little corners of beauty

What a beautiful dispenser! Why can our modern dispensers be this beautiful?!
Because something like this would cost 300€ at least 😅

Beautiful job and I hope it has a nice home too👍👏👏👏
Amazing result! 👍
That sticker recreation was amazing 👏
It looks great and you did an excellent job restoring it as well!!!!
I enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up
You're an artist!❤
Beautiful Job, Gorgeous Tape Dispenser Too!!!. ❤❤❤👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Nice job! What a beautiful and interesting piece.
Marvelous restoration. Happy Christmas! 🎄🎁🪅
Beautiful restoration mister good job well done
The Wilhelm scream made me lol. Thanks for that. Needed it.
The powder coat changing in the toaster is what I'm here for
Bravo 👏 Beautiful and Exquisite work.
Das ist absolut wundervoll!
That is one beautiful machine!
This is such a cool piece. I've never seen anything like it.
GREAT JOB. LOVE THE FINGER BIT
For nice sanding tools, make friend with a nail artist and recycle their sanding blocks... they can work great for a wide variety of restorations 😊
That was great! What a fascinating device.
Thank you ! 😉
That's absolutely amazing👍
Un travail remarquable !
красивая вещь , прекрасная реставрация
Amazing Craftsmanship and Restoration 👍🏻👍🏽👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Cómo quiera aprender su arte me encanta lo que hace le devuelve la vida a objetos antiguos 😮😮😮
Qué pena que no haya capacitaciónes para aprender
Beautiful work! I think the restoration looks better than the original.
This would be a great thing to get every separate part scanned and make a 3D model to print!
Can it be done in metal or just plastic or wood filament?
@@smooshiebear80 Not sure, I've just recently started 3D printing and have only worked in PLA & a bit in PETG (two different types of plastic) I've tried one wood filament a bit, but it's honestly hard to differentiate from plastic. But from what I've seen, I don't think printing in metal or wood would be that difficult. These are nice large pieces. Even the screws could be printed.
that is a beautiful restoration job!
Beautiful! Pretty work.
Just brilliant! Happy holidays from frigid Minnesota.
Fellow Minnesotan here, too!
Very well done on recreating the logo!
Thank you, it was worth it 😉
I always look forward to these videos!
had no idea chrome was applied and dried in such a way!
3:20 honestly reminded me of stop motion. Especially with your hand seeming quite static in the time lapse
How do you find these amazing items, your restoration of them is outstanding, Thank you for the education ❤
Nice job and the thing as well! Thank you, sir!💯👍🎄Merry Christmas!
Thank you, Merry Christmas ! 🎅
