    I am 81 years old, ( & in the UK ) so when your channel was offered to me, by You Tube, I had to see what it was about. ( O.T. N. D. ) And I am so glad that I did, as your engineering skills, patience, & restoration knowledge, are remarkable!
    On our British, BBC one TV Channel, we have a programme called " The Repair Shop " which features ' experts ' doing work, like yourself, for members of the General Public. on family treasured items, that have fallen on hard times. And to watch skills like yours, being used to save for posterity items of age & interest is so absorbing. Thank you so much, for posting content like this. Well done young Sir, I have also subscribed to your Y/T channel. Bye for now, Brian, in the UK.

      This channel reminds me of The Repair Shop too! I’m much younger and in the US, but my father is British and watches shows from back home very often, and I see enough snippets to make the comparison. I love the care that the people of The Repair Shop put into the items they restore, and the same goes for this channel.

    It is hard to imagine it nowadays with all our technology and plastics and throw-away society- but just picturing a child getting this as a gift back "in the day"- it must have been amazing.
    Bright colors, shiny metal, heavy, multiplayer, a mechanism that makes the horses absolutely fly around the track, betting against your friends... I bet this was a favorite toy for many years.

    One of these games was used as a prop in the movie "Dave," about 1996 with Kevin Kline and Sigourney Weaver. Dave was a D.C. temp agency owner who impersonated the President. This was one of the games in the White House. Dave's game was powered by a crank, and rang a bell when the race was won.

For example, a great success is not to add music or elements that are distracting. The sounds of the brushes, hammers, sandpapers and other tools that you use in your restorations have something magical that relaxes a lot.

    Your work is outstanding and the items you refurbish are unique and interesting. And I think you have found the correct balance of how much of your work to show in your videos. I feel that I know all of the steps you have taken, and I am never tempted to fast forward. Great Job!

    Franchement génial, non seulement tu restaure un jeu issu du patrimoine, et en plus avec le soucis du détail, et pas comme tous ces "restaurateurs" à 2 balles qui te sortent des pièces rouillées comme jamais, avec de la terre dessus, tu as l'impression qu'il a fait la guerre le truc ...... LA ça m'a l'air authentique et pas biaisé comme beaucoup d'autres, et ce sens du détail, du perfectionnisme comme j'aime, chapeau l'artiste !!!

    This is some amazing work. But one think i always find tricky when watching restoration videos is how much is too much. At what point is it no longer the original and at what point is too much of its history lost. When you look at it before hand, all the wear and tear, it obviously tells a story about what and how much its been used.

    Excellent work dude 👏👏👏. Skills and techniques used is extremely impressive, as is the obvious amount of patience you have to achieve the finished standard. Also, you did a great job showing everything you did whilst keeping the length of the vid down to like, 20mins. But honestly, I could've easily watched 40mins+ of you working your magic 😁. Thanks man 🙏. 😎

    Hi. I have just dicovered your channel and find it fascinating and really relaxing to watch. The care and attention that you show is amazing - from the mechanical attention to the professionalism in audio and visual aspects of the production. I've even put some of your videos on in the background just to listen to the sounds while I've been working!

    What an amazing restoration! I love your attention to detail. I also love this object, I never knew such a game existed. I think I would have had a lot of fun playing with this as a kid, and I definitely would have given names to all the horses 😀

  • @shewmonohoto
    @shewmonohoto 2 роки тому +2

    I love how you took the time to deburr several of the parts, you took it beyond a restoration, to an improved version of the original object. That may be a big no no in art conservation/restoration, but in this cases like this 👍👍.
