      Nope...most watch these videos for the sandblasting part...😄 I'm a 61 year old woman, the best I can manage is change a bulb... But watching these restorers is somewhat relaxing. Also, most of them take their "art" to the limit. I also watch: Tysy Tube, Veradona, LABD and many others. There is also Baumgartener Restoration for paintings and Thomas Johnson for furniture repairs they're "magicians" of a special kind. Best regards from Lisbon Portugal.

    A QUESTION: Why does everyone love cleaning by sand? (Sandblasting).
    In my opinion, there is something psychological about it. Sand cleaning looks quiet and elegant, but the truth is that it's a very VIOLENT act! Very aggressive! The sand strongly attacks any kind of dirt, oil stains, layers of rust. Don't we all dream that we could clean the dirt on the planet? Silently and elegantly eliminate all the bad guys, just by pressing one SMALL BUTTON...
    What a great pleasure could it be to see all the bad guys dead? To see all the crooks flying the hell out? To see the world clean?
    Man... If I only had one huge sandblasting machine, what a clean world I would make.
    About the video itself, you are number one!
    Great professional work.
    The handle is a genius idea! pure art!
    Thank you for one more amazing relaxing video!!

    Canadian viewer. I bought a house 5 years ago and as I was digging up dirt, and re-landscaping I found one exactly like this one. The wood is original, I think it was so soaked in oil by whomever used it, that it was preserved. I am no restorer but I was able to finally get the thing to turn and work. I still use it to this day. Any idea roughly when such a tool was produced?
