"3 hour virtual tutorial on refinishing a bb gun"!!!😂😂😂
Lmao @ the testing gear!!!
Also, I thought the Damascus was achieved by layering the metals, then forging them together... Like on Forged in Fire.🙈
He’s got another 23 minute video on how he improved the sheen and protection on his coffee pot he purchased in the late 90s.
Safety First ! The dry humor had me nearly in tears. The 3x layers of PPE at the end was pure gold.
No chances this time
Cam,
Safety first, that $20.00,1980s BB gun restoration turned out pretty damn nice. Thank you for taking time to film, edit and post this video.
Thanks man!
Safety first! I'm a safety engineer and you just made my day. LOVELY rebuild of that nice BB gun. Keep it up.
Safety first, you’ll shoot your eye out.
Safety first…. Or perhaps fun first. Had that BB gun 48 years ago, still bring back memory when watching you restoring that same gun
Safety first is overrated, you gonna drink the coffee?
Safety first: Give the coffee to your rose and azalea bushes. The acid is good for them, strawberries, tomatoes and pine trees too.
Hes gonna sip water from that Rockstar can. Important to stay hydrated you know.
😅😅😅
More of an energy drink guy
I too heard that you have to drink the coffee after you soak Damascus in it and that it will make the Damascus stand out more. Something to do with the stomach acids
That is probably the prettiest daisy I have ever seen. Restored a few older ones from my Dad. You do things like this not for money, but the sentiment of the artifact and to learn as you go. VERY well done.
Safety Last! Cool restoration. Doesn’t matter how much it is worth or not worth, since this was from your childhood it has immeasurable worth to you, Cam. And that is all that matters. And hey, your BB gun is a real shooter as well.
Agreed!
Very nice! I plan to watch this with my Father! While as a youngin' I had a .22 rifle before I had a BB gun and when I finally purchased one it was actually .20 cal Benjamin Sheridan Pellet rifle but I remember two of these Daisy's hanging in the open ceiling of our basement that were my fathers as a child. I think next time he visits I'll tell him to bring those with him, then show him this and tell him we're going to restore his. Thank you!
Safety first……I always enjoy watching your videos. Nice work, Cam.
Safety first my man! That walnut is absolutely stunning and what a fun project.
Safety last. Another Blacktail gem.
Safety first - we truly love your matter of fact, don’t care what you think dead pan attitude. Makes this channel just perfect for us x
Safety First the only thing I’ve kept since my childhood is memories of wanting a cabbage patch doll that I never got 😢 loved the finished look
Safety first. That took me back to the days when I had a BB gun. And I’m in the UK!
Safety first, this video made feel pride at being a proud owner of a Red Rider BB gun. It was how I introduced my kids into the fun of shooting. Great videos of wood working, I particularly enjoy the creativity. I’ve enjoyed many videos including the mammoth tusk. Keep up the good work and “don’t shoot your eye out”.
Loved the video. I remember those BB guns. They were accurate as it looks like yours still is. Enjoy it Cam. I wouldn’t worry about the naysayers. You did a heckuva job on your rebuild . 👍👍👍
Safety first! And the range was truly hot! Said this old grandma.
Safety first! I just ordered the Daisy Red Ryder BB gun today for 90€ 😂 I'm planing to replace the wood stock with a mahogany stock my father made, from an old window/door frame, around 35 years ago for us to play with.
Just the bare wood stock and imagination was enough back then 😂. I kept it all the years and I will surprise him after I've finished the modifications.
Thanks for this inspiring video!
And all your other content as well, I think I nearly watched all your videos.
Greetings from Germany
Safety first!
Everything is worth whatever you can get someone to pay you for it.
Things you make for yourself out of love are priceless.
Thanks for another great video. Looking forward to putting your table course that I received for Christmas to work!
That stock looks gorgeous. Also metal workers are like woodworkers in the hoarding department. I have so many small offcuts of steel, aluminium, copper, brass and even a little Damascus bits
Safety first - in my part of the world I only hear of a BB gun (sorry if that the wrong spelling) on American TV shows, it was good to see it, and even better to see the restoration, a childhood toy give great love. 🇬🇧
I live in Belgium, for us a BB gun was a spring loaded plastic gun replica that shot plastic BB's. Basically an airsoft gun. Nowhere near as powerful as that American gun.
Safety Something Something...
That is a lovely piece of walnut. Woodworkers the world over will use this video to justify keeping barns full of offcuts.
Safety first! Adding the damascus lever was a great touch!
Safety first. A joy as always! Beautiful restoration and what better thing to restore than a beloved fave from your childhood? 😁
Safety First. Awesome job, hope you do more restoration videos in the future. Not just wood restoration but all kinds.
I quite enjoy Mike Rowe's motto of "Safety Third". UA-cam can take a chill pill.
Safety first certainly happened here. Thanks for sharing Cam. Beautiful restoration/ modification of a truly legendary peice of history. 😅 The wood choice and Damascus are spot on.
Safety First! I've got a few rifles that you've just encouraged me to "restore". Rather, to make look better than original. Thank you.
I would proudly display that BB gun, absolutely added value!
Safety first....If youtube would hire at least one gun guy they would know this is NOT a firearm!! Nice video, love the stock!
Safety first!!
I love the overkill of protection!!
But the end result looks amazing!!
Safety first looks absolutely wonderful top job.
Ricki from Australia
Safety first, great comments. Had a few good laughs. Thanks
Safety first but I’d like to see you and Scott battle, who can hit the most cans in a row in 30 seconds lol! Great restoration!
Safety first. As I’m watching this I’m amazed at the amount of money you put into this project. The wood, the reblueing. Then you mention the value of a “collectors item” being modified and the loss of value. It was an interesting thought. All that being said, what is the value to you? We all have things that are worthless that we personally highly value. We all have things we were given in the past that we want to make functional again. Why? Because to us they are priceless. Personally, I think your old BB gun looks awesome.
Safety First. UA-cam is in no place to ban videos based on content. What they let through is a travesty, while they still restrict great content. I enjoy your channel, thank you for making the content that you do.
SAFETY FIRST!
Anything that has sentimental value is priceless to the owner.
Safety first, always. But i love these odd jobs. Adds some spice to the channel.
Safety first! I enjoyed the gun revival! It looks way cooler than it did!
Safety third! Turned out awesome!
Safety first! I still have my 1st Daisy bb gun. It's 45 years old now and still not worth anything. I love what you did with the forearm and stock.
Safety first -- from spray paint to cold blue and Walnut - you quadrupled the value! Nice work. My Daisy Buffalo Bill BB gun was shot to pieces - literally!
Safety first. Value when from priceless to priceless
Safety 1st💚🇬🇧🌱 nice work cam 👌
My Daidy from the 1960's had an actual wood stock and forearm. The lever was aluminum. It was painted from the factory. One of these days I am going to restore it. A blueing I have had better luck with is the stuff from Brownell's in Iowa. Your rifle with tha new stock is outrageously beautiful.
Safety first: I’m impressed. Good job.
Safety first. Not only do i love the content but I love your realistic expectations of people and the comments that some will add to berate you. I appreciate your humor and the work you do. I really love your comment about the Mona Lisa. I am a huge art buff and I just think that painting is so over played. If someone said lets either go see the Mona Lisa or go shoot BB guns? Where is my box of BB's
Safety first, always. You could put an eye out with that thing... I'm talking about how AMAZING that looks "Restored", "Renovated", "Modified", call it what you will, I'd say it's worth a lot more now than it was with that 2 x 4 of a walnut stained balsa wood that the old stock was made from. That grafted wood was very cool, it never occurred to me that a grafted wood could be used for anything. (We grafted a lot of apple trees when I was a kid). Nice job. Scott from Japan
Safety first, great little project. Means nothing but sure is fun. Keep on keepin on...
Safety First: I love your video, but I equally love your snarky commentary!😂 really miss you putting out more videos.
Safety first and your BB Gunn looks fabulous!!
Thank you🤗
Safety First: As an Instructor and RSO, this is over the top funny!
This a first for me. I’ve seen many high grade shotgun’s stocked with European walnut but never a BB gun. I’m envious !!!
Found my dads old daisy while doing a reno in the basement. Been down there for 40 years and is getting rusty.
Time for a new look!
(Considering you did a damascus pump handle worth more than 20 dollars, you have in fact INCREASED the value. Theres MILLIONS of these things out there. Value for an original is still 20 bucks 😄)
Safety first…if anything, you renovated a priceless masterpiece! Kudos to you, brother👊🏼
DUDE!!!.......you did an excellent job on that gun.
beautiful work.........my compliments!
Safety first
What a wonderful work you did
Big fan of the woodworking videos you do and I think thy are the best
Watching from KSA
Safety first... You are the BEST. Your sense of humor is fantastic.
Safety first. Absolutely a trip down memory lane seeing that gun.
Safety First... I absolutely enjoyed this vid! Thank you!
Safety first... Appreciate your effort in keeping the hippies happy, especially with the overkill on eye safety 😂
Safety First nice job . looking forward to more Table work
Outstanding !!! my childhood memories revolved around that item along with siblings and cousins !! Enjoyed the video !
Awesome build, and nice shooting! A lot of people close one eye but its better to keep them both open as you demonstrated.
Safety first? Coffee First! Welcome to 2024 Blacktail. Take care & stay safe.
Safety first! Makes me wish I still had mine from when I was a kid. It would be a fun refinishing project. Cam, it really turned out great! Thank you!
SAFETY FIRST
You have inspired me to start restoration on the two similar Daisy BB guns I have. One was my Grandfather's and the other was my Dad's and I shot both when I was a child in the 1960s. I really don't know when they were made/purchased but they both are at least pre-1965! Both have been in my basement since 1985 and have a good layer of surface rust.
THANKS for re-posting this video!
SAFETY FIRST
Safety First! What an Awesome Rebuild! Magic !!!
Safety First, Safety Third, Just Safety is important.
Great restoration project and childhood memory, my dad gave me his Daisy when I was young.
Had lots of fun with it 😁
Safety first. Looks like a fun project. Turned out great
Safety First...this was an unexpected treat. Thank you.
That is honestly one of the most beautiful guns I've ever seen period. That Damascus lever and wood stock looks amazing. Safety third!
Very nice work... wish my old Daisey looked that nice... I bought one from my cousin in 1968 for 2 dollars. .. it was the most accurate bb gun I've ever had.. When I went in the military my mom gave it to my next door neighbor.. I was upset to say the least... Again, very nice work, that stock looks amazing... Take care...
SAFETY FIRST. Gonna get started on my "DAISY" today.
I love how you put safety first in your videos. I’m impressed.
I think there are some parallels to our approach to carpentry. I’m a union carpenter out of Portland and I am a little quirky about my tools. I’ll spend extra time making or modifying a tool to make it perfect for me. Nobody seems to appreciate it like I do until they need it and they stop giving me a hard time till they give it back. It’s funny.
Safety first, love the video, the more I see prove experimenting with metal add ons just makes me want to do it more. Love the touch of Damascus steel. And give the camera man some major extra credit for those great shots of you with the gun (being extremely safe and careful ;)
Safety First! This was fun to watch - thanks Cam. I always use the bluing solution on copper pipes etc in the house when they have to be surface mounted, way better look than paint. Is my go-to also for mild steel railings, can't beat it in my humble opinion! BB gun looks terrific and is worth way more than it was in so many ways ;)
Guns and woodworking in one video? Yeah im watching
Safety first.
Beautiful Job as always. You're gonna gain the envy of everyone in the 80's BB gun owners club!!!!
Love it! Still have all my childhood bb/pellet guns. Safety first!
Safety first. Great video! I took have this old toy as well as another from the same 70s era. I got my first for my 5th Birthday and found the other at a yard sale. I also have my old pop gun that originally had a cork on a string which disappeared in the first week so grandpa showed us how well potatoes and apples work in it. Now I want to do a to notch resto mod on them . Thanks...I needed a new project.😂
Safety first. Awesome little project. Well done!
safety first, Oh man, love it! I restored my old BB gun a few years ago and now I want to do it again and better it up. I think my BB gun is older than me. No idea when my dad got it. I am in my late 40's. It has no power what-so-ever, but it is definitely an item of importance to me. Thanks for sharing this.
Safety first! :) beautiful remodel... very nice look. I had a plastic stock, Daisy. I used it for years and years. Didn't lose an eye and our farm probably has shot everywhere. Lol. Thx
Very cool project, probably the nicest BB gun stock in existence today.
Safety Third - This is the level of ridiculous that keeps me coming back! This really turned out nice.
Safety first...now I am inspired to do the same thing to my Daisy from the mid-70s. It hasn't worked in years, but now I have a reason to tear into it. I also like the change of pace this video provided. Awesome stuff per usual...
Safety first.
I'm positive you've added value because we now appreciate it as well as you. That and it was stunning esp the stock
Yes you are the right channel for me. That’s why I look to you for safety tips😂 Love the sarcasm and humor, keep it up Cam😁
Don’t understand UA-cam. They “allow” so much weird content, but a dude restoring a fricking BB-gun, no that where they draw the line😅
Safety first! Totally agree with the sentiment around the Daisy over the red ryder. I had a Daisy too!
Safety first, great job with this restoration or as some may say ( modification). I enjoyed watching and personally thought it was funny as well as informative. At the end of the day it belongs to you and as long as you're happy then that's all that matters. Keep up the good work!
This must've been such a nostalgic and fun project!!! Really enjoyed watching this restoration video.
Safety 1st. It was great watching a video of yours again. I think the bb gun is now worth $10k 😅. As always, informative and entertaining . Lisa Lemmon from Corpus
Safety first, I am actually going through gunsmith school and planning on a similar project with my childhood daisy buck so this is awesome inspiration
Safety first. Imagine having that version, sitting on your shoulder, cruising around the neighborhood on your bike back in the day.
😎👍
Safety first is great as long as you are not made blind by your efforts, Sir. Love your videos and your humor.
I remember my time in the West Albany wood shop. Ah the memories.
Safety first 😂😂 That was a cool little fun, for you, side projects. I find the ones that I do for myself are usually the funest!
Safety First, Cam!!! I loved what you've done here. The final finish really came up well!
