@@TysyTube All 3 of you are amazing! In addition to Lore videos for Elder Scrolls, Dune, and SCP Foundation, your Craftsman/Restoration ASMR work is perfect for de-stressing and putting my worries aside for a bit, I thank all 3 of you 👍👍
I like your determination of getting 120% out of every single part to make it look like brand new, that's really awesome. That's the main reason why I'm always excited to watch a new video, like all the people here who appreciate and admire your work. Excellent job! :)
Ditto. Made comment elsewhere but little things like replacing the air supply connections with only 1 custom made part (that looks amazing in itself) is what makes the difference between you and every other " restoration " channel.
I kind of like how the handle turned out. The slight marks show that this thing hasn't been sitting idle as a display piece, but has a rich history of use.
Nah..it's really dirty work (when you working on lots of stuff) and a breathing mask-protection should be used.I did the exact job for about 4 years long time ago-and after all..you ll need to protect the metal with various methods after finishing with the polishing..
I don't make parts look like show pieces but I do go far enough to restore a tool or parts function. And let me tell you it takes alot of time patience and effort to get those parts to the level that this guy is doing. He makes it look easy. I would love to see a breakdown of how many hours he spends in these restorations. Unless you sold the items for astronomical prices you could never make a profit. With today's technology and manufacturing capabilities tool are made to look more precise in their finish but I doubt they will be around for a hundred year's.
I stopped editing my video to watch your video, now i need to delete my video.... i’m not happy about it....just kidding 🤣, your videos are like a drug for me, i want over and over again 🤤
It’s very interesting to me going back in time and looking at a content creator’s older content. It gives a person the ability to really appreciate all the little improvements made in production quality and how a person develops over time.
Was just thinking this! Especially on the handle that he's "not happy at all how it turned out"...In future videos, he would apply some of that 2-component solution to fill those holes before painting and he'd be on his merry way lol. Very cool to see his growth, especially for someone already so masterful.
This man is my hero. I see all his videos one by one and I am amazed by his attention of detail. Repairs everything like new, except the light of the sandblaster.
I absolutely agree. "My Mechanics" does it they way it should be done. I like to hear the sounds of the tools and to hear people clearly when they do speak. So many people sabotage their own videos by going out of their way to add a music track that plays over their voice 😂😂😂. The weirdest part is, these video makers actually think the music makes their video "better". Just like the "laugh track" ruined some of the greatest tv shows US history, the "music track" ruins some of the would be great youtube channels.
MyMechanics: I can well understand you being dissatisfied with the porosity of the main casting and the tig welding not being a perfect match but yet again you surpassed your own very high standards to produce something of great quality and beauty. I absolutely love your work!
I'm not mechanic nor do I have a single clue as to how to do any of this, but could the handle have possibly been painted? Or maybe even that technique to make the metal "black" have helped to cover up those welding color issues?
I know it's been three years but I think you did a really good job, I've seen other channels fix those welding spots by heating up the entire object and letting it slowly cool back down, it makes all the metal an even temperature and when it cools back down everything blends together
I must confess something... when watching your videos I feel both a deep sense of shame and a great inspiration. I was always a "It's good enough." kinda guy. I always thought if it works fine then dont bother with it. But then i see someone like you. who sees something that could be better..so they make it better. Sees something that can be improved so they improve it. The comment where you said it looked ugly so youll make a new one...It remindedme of all the times I thought something looked ugly but it worked ok so..I left it. You inspire me to go further and be better at my projects. To strive for as good as it can be...not just Good enough. Thank you for that.
Please keep making more content with these quality restorations. I have tried watching several other restoration channels… none compare. Your attention and dedication to fit, finish, and detail are unmatched. Phenomenal.
Great work! No need to apologize for your work, I found even more respect for you by watching you encounter things that didnt go the way you wanted, and how you went about overcoming those obstacles. Keep it up!
I saw the sandblaster button with the broken dust-cover...then glanced at the date of the video. ""Aa-Haaaa!!" One of the classics that I somehow missed! Even the wrenches are mirror-polished!!
My Mechanics: "I'm not happy at all how this part turned out" Me: "I make a new one...come on... I make a new one..." My Mechanics: "I make a new...pin for the trigger" Me: "Awww!"
Yeah I thought he was either gonna “make new one” or just fill it with metal body filler, similar to the stuff they use in cars. Oh well still turned out great anyways.
Tbh he kind of ruined it, I can see why he isn’t happy with the results. I don’t agree with the polishing either those items were never polished, ruined them. His other stuff is really good, but this one he messed up.
@@oximofo9 I notice that a lot of times My Mechanics likes to mirror polish parts that really ought to be left in a brushed finish. It's just one of the quirks of his style, I can appreciate it even if I disagree with the final product.
I still ask myself how can I watch 20 minutes long videos of a man restoring things. But I cant stop it! The dedication and attention to the details are astonishing. Good job, sir.
considering the state of that aluminium i'd say you did a hell of a good job on it. without casting a whole new piece, i think that's the best anyone could expect.
Dude your content just relaxes me to no end does anyone else get excited for the way he does things like when he dissemble I get all giggly and I'm like now time for the parts cleaner " oh yeah just like that "
It 's the best restoration channel on youtube,i love the way how you fix the things. The view angle and the distance is perfect ,i can see just what u are doing not the whole workshop. This kind of quality and precision is amazing:D ps: sanding things on stone are my favorite parts. Thank you
It is my opinion that you produce the very best restoration videos on UA-cam today. Your work is the benchmark for others to follow. Thank you for producing them.
Machining a new pneumatic fitting from scratch was revenge against the universe for the poor casting of the handle that couldn’t be fixed. Great work again! Nice job!
I couldn't care less about a rivet gun until I see that you're restoring one! What a beautiful job, it always amazes me when you show the before and after pics, hard to believe the difference! Keep up your amazing work, you are by far and away doing the best restoration work on youtube!
Just came across your site, I'm a woman that can appreciate such intricate work, your patience is amazing, the final detail is eye popping. I work with miniatures and know what it takes to do this kind of work. You sir are an artist, I take a bow.
Love your videos - the restored objects are brought back to fulfil their reasons for existing - it’s good for the soul to see this. If the objects could talk, they would thank you sincerely. Keep up the amazing work.
No music is great, but my favorite thing of all: it's not sped up. I never realized how much I appreciate just hearing the sounds of these loud machines at work until I saw this guy's videos. Most of the other restoration channels I see always speed up the entire process and honestly they may as well just mute the audio. I don't want to hear an angle grinder running at 20x the normal speed for 30 seconds straight. Show me a few cuts of it here and there doing its thing and then move on to the next bit. That's what I really enjoy about this guy's videos. He does just that. No single part of the project is shown for too long. Each step is shown just long enough that you get the idea without it being overly boring, and it's not sped up so the sound of the equipment has a reason to be there. Another really good channel I recommend is the hot wheels restoration guy, baremetalHW. He has a similar editing style to my mechanics but focuses on restoring vintage (and more modern) Hot Wheels toy cars. Really neat channel if you want to see more stuff in this kind of style. Many of them are not "perfect" restorations but he does a pretty good job of getting things as close as possible to the original image. As usual, pitting of the main body cast like what was experienced here is still an issue, not much can be done about that. But it's still really interesting to see the entire process, and baremetalHW also provides insightful commentary.
I know the struggle with porous aluminum. I was restoring something recently, a drill powered angle buffer from the 1950's, and it was originally a rough cast finish, but I wanted to file it smooth and polish it but no matter how much I filed, new voids kept appearing. So I decided to do a sand blast finish so at least they weren't as noticable. Thank you for your inspiring videos!
I discovered this channel about 10 days ago and binge watched all the videos in one night. Which was awesome but I should had taken my time, I have been feigning for an upload for 9 days Haha. This is a masterpiece P.s, idiots will say ego drives you to create commonly available fittings but I say what is more impressive than a machinist working on his craft? Not ego, but the pursuit of practicing a craft.
This is by far my favourite channel for restorations. Your dedication to getting things not just working right but looking right is inspiring. It's a shame about the handle casting being so poor, but you can only do the best you can with what you're given. However, I know you were considering, however briefly, machining a new handle from raw stock. Go on, admit it! :-) No matter what's going wrong in my life, watching one of your videos gives me a genuine lift. I can't wait for the next one!
I've been watching this channel like crazy for past couple of months, I always end up wondering if the any of those equipments would 've looked this good originally. He takes them to a whole new level! I'm quite sure if any of the original manufactureres of these equipment look at them now they will pay top dollars to have these in their hall of fame.
I appreciate the fact that you let your work do the talking :) Super relaxing, ultimately satisfying, and very educational too. Actually never seen a belt wrench before. Also, you've used previously restored vice and oiler :D Love it.
YES! This is a video I can put on and let my mind wander a bit as I watch. Then, of course, I have to start looking at tools on Amazon or some such place.
@MrCorvusC Totally agree with you except the vice was sent to him as a result of a restoration of one of their vices. Otherwise like I said you are totally right.
Sometimes I try to watch other videos of restoration from other channels. And all in the sudden, the biblical quality of work of my mechanics explodes to my face.
I apologize for my English, but I just have to leave this comment. I watched all your videos, it's just amazing, this is the best restoration on UA-cam! respect you! P.S. Restoration of the manometer looked 10 times, aesthetic pleasure!
Just finished watching. Turned out nice. It's always a pleasure to watch a restore video by somebody who knows what they are doing and has the skills to back it up.
I can sense your frustration with this piece throughout the video, but you still make it beautiful at the end. Definitely a great piece, thank you for sharing
There is nothing more satisfying that watching metal being turned on a lathe. Too bad the handle didn’t turn out better but it was not due to lack of effort on your part. Another great project, friend!
I can't believe you're apologizing for any of this! Your work is amazing, and your dedication to the craft shows through,and I believe that's why you're hard on yourself. Let me say this...because of you, I was inspired to start my own small restoration business. You're a big inspiration, and I love your work. Never keep any of your videos locked away... I want to see every single video! I'd especially like to see a video in which a restoration failed. They say we all learn the most from failure!
Thank god you uploaded the vid. Your invented tools are amazing and creative. We subs don't care about left holes, we care about your dedication and how you try your best in reviving the piece. A Bonus is to show us, that the hammer works again, and how to use it.
These videos are so satisfying to watch, every time! I have a small request concerning the videos: when you’re making a new part, could you maybe hold up the new one and the old one next to each other in front of a camera? Of course it’s not a problem if you don’t, I’m just interested to compare and see the improvement. I love your content anyway!
OK, I have finally got my fix, perfection, Every-time it's Perfection, just Love it. Does it right the first time every time. The best repair channel I've ever found.

Do you do a restauration of grease gun
You made a new air coupler? Okay now you're just showing off. Lol. Great job.
It's not the first time he has done that, too :P
didn't bend that one tho :)
My mechanics: I’m not happy how this part turned out.
Literally anybody else: I’m absolutely astonished at how amazing this part turned out!
Nice to hear that, thanks :-)
@@mymechanics Perhaps it would have been more uniform had you sandblasted that part.
@@eduardolarrymarinsilva76 possibly, but with a cast part of such low quality, he could also have done more harm than good.
@@mymechanics I hope you can make a chisel attachment for this air hammer to make it an air chisel... I think it would be a very useful tool...
Practice will make you perfect, as you are the best in all other aspects of your trade. Stay safe to you and everyone.
Who else gets very excited when they see a new video from my mechanics is available to watch?
Me! Me! (Jumpiing up and down to get noticed) Me!
..."And now I use my new rivit gun to restore this B-17 crashed during WWII. Or maybe I just make a new one. We'll see."
"The old air fitting looks ugly i will make a new one" makes a new one, polishes metal to mirror finish, what is there not to like.WELL DONE!!
Perfect
Its what sets him apart from the others. No part is too unimportant to not be remade
But didn't get a rivet to test it out. He should've made a rivet.
@@bombtwenty3867 He tested it by flow forming proving the rivet gun has the power to to riveting.
@@yeagerxp That maybe true but goddammit I wanted some riveting action

Thank you so much Liz :-)
Totally agree. This channel is a gem like primitive technology.
Parts are better than new in lots of cases, he pays more attention to detail than some of the original manufactures.
Ditto. Made comment elsewhere but little things like replacing the air supply connections with only 1 custom made part (that looks amazing in itself) is what makes the difference between you and every other " restoration " channel.
Luscious-Liz me too! 😂❤️
I don’t think this tool was ever meant to look good. You transformed it into a museum piece.
dsb1763 I know right? I think his restorations make the tools look better than new!
I kind of like how the handle turned out. The slight marks show that this thing hasn't been sitting idle as a display piece, but has a rich history of use.
Вкрапления это не из за старости, а из за того что, кто-то не умел или по другой причине, лить алюминий, поэтому и поры в нем
does this mean your next video will be you restoring an old aircraft using your new rivet hammer? can't wait!!!
benjimoomoo lol
XD
this airplane is rotted…”i make new one”
"this part is too ugly, I'm going to make a new one...." YEAAAAAAAAAAAH that's what we were waiting for ;D
Haha :-)
vshk i love this kind of stuff. :D
Too right I love those bits too

Who need ASMR? This is the most therapeutic thing on UA-cam. 10/10, Amazing
I 100% agree!
That's what I thought.
Facts!!!
Yeah until the welder comes out 😅
Ummm I don’t wanna upset you but this is a form of asmr
you cannot be edgy with this guy. He will smoothen any sharp edges you'll give him!
Lmaoooooo 👍👍👌🏻
And polishes it to a shine.
This guy will countersink a black hole.
If I had a buffing wheel like that, every metal object in my house would shine like a mirror.
😂😂❤
Nah..it's really dirty work (when you working on lots of stuff) and a breathing mask-protection should be used.I did the exact job for about 4 years long time ago-and after all..you ll need to protect the metal with various methods after finishing with the polishing..

*everything metal: BLINDED*

And let me tell you it takes alot of time patience and effort to get those parts to the level that this guy is doing. He makes it look easy. I would love to see a breakdown of how many hours he spends in these restorations. Unless you sold the items for astronomical prices you could never make a profit. With today's technology and manufacturing capabilities tool are made to look more precise in their finish but I doubt they will be around for a hundred year's.
Best channel of Restoration.
Agreed
True that
Without a doubt. Everyone else just takes a grinder to each part and calls it restored
If you ever decide to do merchandise for this channel, please do a T-shirt that says "...so I make a new one."
😂😂❤
that's a fantastic idea 😄
Hobo Sullivan I’d buy one!
I don't have any friends...so I make a new one!
lol
Or "MC-51 removed all the rust" :)
I'm currently 2 hours into a binge on this channel.........
And let me tell you I don't regret it one bit
I stopped editing my video to watch your video, now i need to delete my video.... i’m not happy about it....just kidding 🤣, your videos are like a drug for me, i want over and over again 🤤
Thank you so much :-) now go back to edit your video, i want see it soon ;-)
youre videos are also very good :)
Seing two restorer sending wink faces shakens me
Man your videos are like a drug. We love you both very much. Good luck and Be well
Super
I liked how you used the oiler from a previous video in this one. You've really given it new life.
I imagine this rivet hammer might see some use aswell.
I caught that too. Still waiting for the screw driver to make an appearance
And the vise in the begening
@@Ameritude I thought the vise he made was green. I only saw a blue one in the vid.
@@DoomFinger511 I guess your right, but It was a gressal

Putting your own repaired items to use is the best way to go. uwu
This was pure gold.
3:49 too
Always surprising how well those old tools still work once restored. Those old timers are right, the sure don't make em like they used to.

Indeed :-)
You use them for oil filters?
I love belt wrenches! They make similar gizmos for opening jars, too!
I've been watching this channel like crazy for past couple of months, I always end up wondering if the any of those equipments would 've looked this good originally. He takes them to a whole new level! I'm quite sure if any of the original manufactureres of these equipment look at them now they will pay top dollars to have these in their hall of fame.
Way to end the night! Watching a calming restoration video in bed is the best.
Isn't great to not have to listen to annoying music while watching him work.
I appreciate the fact that you let your work do the talking :) Super relaxing, ultimately satisfying, and very educational too. Actually never seen a belt wrench before. Also, you've used previously restored vice and oiler :D Love it.
YES! This is a video I can put on and let my mind wander a bit as I watch. Then, of course, I have to start looking at tools on Amazon or some such place.
@MrCorvusC Totally agree with you except the vice was sent to him as a result of a restoration of one of their vices.
Otherwise like I said you are totally right.
I found the oiler! Wheres the vice?
I love that you use the restored oil can too
Sometimes I try to watch other videos of restoration from other channels. And all in the sudden, the biblical quality of work of my mechanics explodes to my face.
Most of others restorers call " restoration " a simple refurbishing ...
I apologize for my English, but I just have to leave this comment. I watched all your videos, it's just amazing, this is the best restoration on UA-cam! respect you!
P.S. Restoration of the manometer looked 10 times, aesthetic pleasure!
You're i english is very good :-) thank you very much
Just finished watching. Turned out nice. It's always a pleasure to watch a restore video by somebody who knows what they are doing and has the skills to back it up.
Thank you very much :-) i really do appreciate it
So interesting I couldn't look away! You could almost say... it was *riveting*
Polishing and sand blasting are my favourite moments in your videos!
EDIT: apart from seeing it finished that is :P
These videos are so immersive, i find myself watching these every night, oddly satisfying and relaxing. Keep up the great work!
These videos are so good, they are appreciated and loved across the globe. Look at all the different languages in the comment section.
Instead of an old early 1918 Rivet Hammer, it now looks like a new modern design that just hit the market. Very nice indeed, Thumbs Up!
I can sense your frustration with this piece throughout the video, but you still make it beautiful at the end. Definitely a great piece, thank you for sharing
There is nothing more satisfying that watching metal being turned on a lathe. Too bad the handle didn’t turn out better but it was not due to lack of effort on your part. Another great project, friend!
I personally like it with all the imperfections because that’s what gives the tool character
I appreciate your oppinion :-)
I can't believe you're apologizing for any of this! Your work is amazing, and your dedication to the craft shows through,and I believe that's why you're hard on yourself.
Let me say this...because of you, I was inspired to start my own small restoration business. You're a big inspiration, and I love your work. Never keep any of your videos locked away... I want to see every single video! I'd especially like to see a video in which a restoration failed. They say we all learn the most from failure!
You upload as soon as i wake up and its the best feeling I've ever had.
Thank you so much :-)
This is the best restoration channel very satisfying videos I love it
I LOVE this channel. Hands down the best restoration channel on this platform
Thank you so much :-)
Дружище твои видео все пересмотрел , после работы они очень расслабляют, спасибо большое.
I was really impressed when you made your own air fitting 9:33. that was really something i did not consider at all
You are the god of Craftsman/Restoration ASMR. These are perfect for de-stressing
Even if you didn't perfectly restore it, we still love it.
Отличная работа! 👍Спасибо за субтитры. Ваши комментарии к работе очень полезны.🤝
I love how you lay it all out. Before and after. These restorations are amazing to watch. Thank you.
Top work, always blows me away when you just make a new piece.
Thank god you uploaded the vid. Your invented tools are amazing and creative. We subs don't care about left holes, we care about your dedication and how you try your best in reviving the piece. A Bonus is to show us, that the hammer works again, and how to use it.
No, we care about those, but give him a pass because he is so much better than every other "restoration" channel.
absolutey
So much loving care being given to these poor old tools. If there is a heaven for neglected tools, this man's workshop is it.
These videos are so satisfying to watch, every time!
I have a small request concerning the videos: when you’re making a new part, could you maybe hold up the new one and the old one next to each other in front of a camera? Of course it’s not a problem if you don’t, I’m just interested to compare and see the improvement. I love your content anyway!
you put the other restoration channels to shame. i can't even watch anyone else cause i'm always thinking "my mechanics would've done a better job..."
Watching sandblasting is one of the most unusually satisfying things to watch.
I know, right? That's why I bought one years ago. Not only incredibly handy, but it never gets old.
It transforms "ugly broken, useless, just replace it" into "oh, it was just ugly, and needed some love", and it's weirdly cathartic
I think my wife has one of these upstairs. I can hear this noise every now and again. Glad to know she is just installing rivets.
In fairness you should probably give her a hand!
OK, I have finally got my fix, perfection, Every-time it's Perfection, just Love it. Does it right the first time every time.
The best repair channel I've ever found.
Couldn't agree more its watching what I dream about doing but can't such a pleasure to watch these
@@SuperMarkbrewer, Definitely, I'm no longer able so it gives me great pride to see the quality to attention as I once did in all my work.
thank you for calming my brain, yet again
This channel is next level, it has propper restoration and ASMR in one package, i don't think it can get any better. 😁
I like how the handle looks. Tells a story and has some character. Not everything needs to perfect.
Glad to hear that, thank you
