I watched a few videos where they'd say "antique restoration" and it was literally some dollar store Chinese crap that was sat in a bucket of water for a bit. After "restoration" you'd see the label imprinted showing this thing was nothing even when it was new. Things like vices, cooking pans etc. Zippo lighters and similar things are also popular for fake restorations. That said, even legitimate "restorations" often bastardize something into a condition it never was. I've seen a multitude of videos where someone will file or fill original imperfections and disguise the appearance under layers of paint. The restoration is BS. Maybe it makes the item more saleable but it was never, ever that way during its working life.
Hand Tool Rescue is a great channel. Dude up in Canada does restorations on all types of machines and such, no guns, but the stuff he does is great. The ones that are fake are usually from India. Sorry India, but that's what I've noticed.
It's not about that for me. Sure the before after is nice, but it's about putting effort to take apart, individually clean each piece, make look nice, and putting everything back together. It's about the process.
So what if the rust is caused by the creator. So what if they destroy the wood. Its still entertaining and it still takes skill. The actual restoration is not fake.
Those single blade razors are the only ones I've ever been able to use the best to shave. I've always hated 'disposing' of the blunt blades and felt so sad that I never had any luck hand sharpening or stropping. I wish I had one of those little stroppers... but I just trim these days. I no longer shave and I'm a little sad about it, but no energy to manage simple tasks with my illness. Nice video.
This short video is nothing but a LIE!!! Every single one of the restoration videos i have watched (and I have watched plenty!) shows tons more than just taking rust off. They often include so many other aspects of restoration than just removing rust. This short video is nothing but a lie!!!
I mean if the thing being restored is literally crumbling apart, it can’t really be faked but yes people definitely fake it because it’s very cathartic.
People need to stop making these fake restoration videos. Most of them have no skill or smarts in their heads whatsoever. 💡 I am very sick and tired of people trying to scam other people so that they can gain money. This is absolute nonsense, and they need to start finding better ways to make money besides doing fake things like this.
The fake helping people videos and animals and the ones where they are disabled and it's all just a scam. I have seen a few. And people fall for it. I mean nobody wants to comment oh this is fake on some really sad video where someone is disabled and having a hard time but it's clearly AI or something it's just so far from reality all just to make a quick Buck off of people it's disgusting, thanks for sharing.
