My name is David and i have a passion for fixing things especially the old and wonderfully unique. I am starting my channel with the most basic of restoration videos and working my way up to more complicated projects as time goes on. My hope, in time with the help of youtube is that i completely move out of london and rummage my way through all the old country antique shops i can find to save as many rusting relics as possible. I'm uploading videos about every sort of antique i can find that needs a new life.
I know right. Don’t know what I was thinking.i didn’t have a lot of tools and supplies at the time and didn’t want to infest into it. I have since changed it. Hopefully you subscribed I will be releasing a lot of cool vids soon.
Hi. I recently discovered that old screws (“vintage”) are valuable and are sought after by furniture restorers, etc. Until now, I thought all my old fasteners I have collected for sentimental reasons would be a curse to those I leave behind after my death. Now, I can bequeath them to favored family members.
Hi. I believe the “irregular” edges are uniformly spaced indicating they most likely intentional. I would venture a guess they sink into the wood handle to to secure it better and also to prevent the cap from turning. Just a hunch. Thank you.
Why did you reuse that ancient grease? I can see maybe using super-thick grease on the gears to make the reel feel smoother, but the cross-wind system? Reel came out nice! Good video.
Grammar, spelling, and punctuation that bad within an insulting comment leaves a negative impression of the worth of your opinion. While you don't value this type of reel enough to do a restoration on one, the same clearly can't be said of other people. Rather than trashing other people's values outright, maybe you should seek to fully understand before rendering an opinion. I find such discussion to often be enlightening and productive. YMMV because, you know... value is subjective. With that in mind, please clarify a few things for me: 1) What factors lead you to conclude the reel is a piece of junk? 2) How much did the reel cost when new? What years was the reel in production? 3) What is the market value of these reels now? 4) How much money in parts, paint, consumables, and wear on tools do you estimate was put into restoring this reel? 5) What is your spare time worth to you, in dollars per hour? 6) How many hours do you think were required to restore this reel? 7) What kind of reel, if any, would you personally consider worthy of the time, effort, and expense put into restoring the reel in this video?
@@wilbertbenjamin9928 I did. Now though? Nobody. You have just confirmed to the world the value of your opinion, as well as your value as a person. Congratulations.
it's ironic how simplistic these reels were yet they were used to pull in some of the best fish on the planet. But now it seems you need an engineering degree fix these new models.
