This was wonderful, I've never seen one of these before. My grandma had an old cinematograph when I was a kid. It only had 1 reel cartoon of betty boop with it. She only let us watch it once because she didn't want it to get ruined, so it was stored away in a safe. years later, her house flooded and it got ruined but she donated it to a museum along with the reel. This really brings back those great memories. Thanks!
Only thing I plan on donating in this life is my dead body to whoever wants it after I’m gone….. I don’t mind donating to help animals though. Anything else your gonna be paying large for.
Thanks for this input. It‘s a reminder that we should enjoy and let others enjoy the things we own as long as we can, and not keep them away in storage for somebody else, or for it to be destroyed like in this case. I hope to never fall into that mentality your grandmother had. Would rather want everyone to create memories to keep for the rest of their lives.
That was wonderful, what a great result! I found it somewhat emotionally moving. I guess it's because of what that projector did in its 'first lifetime', entertaining countless children (and adults). Thanks for bringing it back to life.
@leafofwinter3571 not all of them, they'd be in their 90s atleast, but that doesn't mean slightly younger ones couldn't have grown up with them as hand me downs :-) these things dont just dissapear
I just said something similar lol. I gotta get on ebay. Never even used it before and don't know how it works. I'm old-school like this projector hahaha. This one's awesome
I'm from a country where it's currently impossible to order on eBay! Although I am interested in antique photographic equipment, and I really like many cameras that are not in Russia, but are in Europe or America, but, unfortunately, there is no way to buy them!
That cowboy cat is too adorable! Finding the original logo image and making a sticker was the cherry on top. I would be so interested in restoration channels making videos about what led them to restoration- because I look at these videos and think, not only do these people have thousands of dollars in machinery to do these restorations, but also know how to use them very well. You guys get into everything from a bit of carpentry, a bit of electric work, mechanical work for sure, and even some graphic design. I assume that takes many years to learn and probably a kind and patient mentor? One of the things that worries me in recent years is the loss of knowledge of good craftsmanship for future generations. Making online courses for all the different knowledge you guys have I think would be of interest to many. I also wonder if you sell what you restore afterward. Must be hard to sell something you worked so diligently on, even though I’m sure the money is good.
Thank you so much for all these kind words 😌🙏 You know I’m just doing those restos for my own collection. I usually don’t sell any of the restored items.
RESTORATION??? Give your head a shake.. This was a destruction of an antique.. You dont restore antiques by putting a 20th century paint job on them.. You leave the age, and the patina, and repair or replace the broken pieces.. They used Lacquer paint, not a hydrostatic plastic that is melted on. This is frigging disgusting
It looks crudely made. Modern items seem light years ahead, in terms of quality. Your restoration was nothing short of wonderful. Way better than when it was new.
It always amazes me that the tabs on these old metal objects never seem to break! This was a very entertaining restoration. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. 💕
Your edits are amazing Your camera work is wonderful Your reconditioning work is so complicated and yet you take time to record and set up and over and over thank you are you a gemini by any chance?
Love ❤️ it wow !! Most Kids now days just will never understand the excitement of not only get one of these as a gift wither it was your Birthday or for Christmas the joys of watching all the little pictures come to life on your wall or a sheet your Mother put up for you. Watching the films over an over again what fun. Thank you for restoring this ❤️ Projector. Awesome job. Thank you again.
In our current throw away society, it is such a pleasure to see items from a bygone age revitslised. Furthermore, the fact that such craft ship and ingenuity existed decades ago delights me. I hope 100 years from now future generations smile at our legacy.
How did you manage to find such a piece of history ? Beside, you did restored it perfectly well, truly, your skills would, in fact, never stop surprising me
SO AMAZING!!!!!!! I have never seen one of these before, but that was probably top of the line tech for 1931. Simply incredible. I love watching your restorations.
Like a few I've never seen one of those before and the work to restore and bring back to life was incredible. So much history from the past that have long been forgotten and some that find a new life. It's people like you that motivates me to do better work.
You are a master artist. Not only can you repair but you can manufacture what is not there. That's what makes you a master of what you do. Keep up the good work.
Masterfully done, as ever. Always you do the best that can be done with what is available, respecting the original, compromising only where necessary. This is the true sign of a master artisan. 👍
I’m nit sure which is more amazing. The restoration or the fact that this has been up for three months, you showed the film at the end, and Disney’s lawyers haven’t issued a take-down for it. Seriously tho, really enjoyed watching it, thx for sharing it.
This was an incredible restoration! Your amazing skill let us see something from the past that quite possibly could have been thrown away and forgotten… thank you !
I enjoy watching you powder paint more than spray paint, I don't know why...but maybe because of it's coverage ? I just love watching you powder paint.
I sometimes do begin to wonder just; how many American adults; of all ages who were children, may ever remember this contraption? The people who were born from the mid 1960s, entire 70s, to the mid 80s, don't even much of this. Of what really existed. Ah yes this was, right long before our time, since we now live in a different era.
one of your best yet! I know that trick with the sawdust and epoxy. Also there's one with using ammonia to get wood stains to penetrate wood better. You're good on a lathe! great stuff. I've got some of that super fine old wet & dry paper. My late father used to work for an engineering company and often brought home some really cool abrasive papers.
Awesome. I don’t know why youtube sent me to this video and I have been watching it amazed by the good and perfect work. A toy about 100 years old and now it is like new 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. Congrats!!
Thank you so much ! Chance sometimes does things well. If you liked this video please subscribe to my channel. I have restored many other cool old items 🙂🙂🙂
Ah. Sheet metal and nails. Tetanus central. I love watching these though. I get a feeling of satisfaction when I watch it transform and see what it USED to be compared to what it turns into.
It is videos like this that make me love the channel! It is a complex piece of obscure apparatus, and a wide range of tools and techniques are used in the restoration. 👏
Wow. That was fantastic. The level of detail you went to, even with the reel, to then have the film showed at the end. True crafts work that, absolutely brilliant
Simply stunning how you bring this beaten up piece of history back to life. I'm guessing some of those old film reels aren't exactly PC these days. :) The powder coating adds a real nice and even coat on those surfaces and a real touch of class.
@@Flavum you’re kidding? Maybe he should have used old timey tools and arc lamps instead of halogen lights? Perhaps he should have filmed it on 8mm film stock, developed it, and then edited it with a razor and scotch tape? Good grief. It’s a choice he’s taken to restore these items. They’re beautiful. Leave it at that.
Probably not lol. I remember seeing one where the brand sticker logo had a... rather gross caricature of someone riding an elephant. Still, it's a nice piece of history and it's great to see them brought back into repair!
Magnifique restauration que je vais garder car j’ai eu ce jouet en cadeau lorsque j'étais une petite fille et j’ai amusé plus d’un enfant en visionnant ces petits films. ?.quel bon souvenir vous réveillez ! L’appareil est en bon état mais les films sont abîmés. Merci beaucoup pour tout ce que vous fimez, c'est aussi utile que passionnant. 🙏👍👏
This was literally art. Absolutely enjoyable to watch. It always impresses me how many different skills you possess in order to bring something like this back, and it's great to see it in action. Well done! Thank you for sharing it with all of us.
Just amazing, even metal Spinning which is almost a lost art in England these days, I love your attention to detail. My father was a toolmaker from Rolls Royce and he instilled in me, if you do a job , you should do everything to the best of your ability. No cutting corners. I can see you get great pleasure from what you do. Thank you and I have subscribed.
Thank you so much 🙏 You know I just do restoration, someone made the job before. I mean all these parts were created and hand made 🙌 Most part of my job is cleaning but I really do appreciate your comment. My dad told me too the key element is to give the best… Thanks again and welcome aboard 😃
I do Marine repair for a living and also restore muscle cars you my man did a excellent job on that I find it very tranquil and relaxing to watch the restoration and even was able to salvage one of the reels . I loved it
@@TheFabrik When professional takes time out of their day to give you a complement on your work then you could say thank you in return. Instead of just thanks for watching . My Mother taught me manners and when a customer complements me on my work on their boat or I am out in my Dodge Coronet RT and somebody says nice car I always say thank you I have put hundreds of hours in it in the past years and a lot of money . Its like if you gave me a complement on and engine I restored, and me saying yeah thanks for looking at it. Instead of thank you so much for the complement on my hard work ! See the difference?
Gotta say, I really love watching these restorations, but sometimes they become monotonous….the split screen of clowning up all of the smaller parts was absolutely incredible!!!!! It may seem something trivial but it really made this so much more enjoyable!!!! KUDOS to you my friend!!!!
The effort and detail and care that goes into restoring one of these wonderful pieces is just astonishing to watch. You’re truly a master at your craft and I commend your obvious dedication and passion with which you conduct all of your efforts. Really wonderful. A great restoration and a really cool video, thanks :)
Just found this channel. Glad I did! You restore some unique stuff. Alot of the other restore channels do things like old hanmers and cleavers. Which is cool, don't get me wrong, but I like seeing stuff like this. Complex, old school toys and machines. Definetly my cup of tea. Awesome job, boss!
It's understandable that this is something that's really shot looking, which needs work to be revamped. Since Walt Disney was however still, going on strong back then during the great depression era. 😔
Votre video est une petite merveille ! Ce n'est plus de la restauration, c'est de la magie. Bravo le magicien, vous nous enchantez à chaque fois... Jusqu'où ira votre talent ???
Honestamente nunca he visto algo semejante. Lo más parecido es algo que fabricó un hermano a mediados de los 60s, con una gran caja de metal donde venían galletas, e improvisó algo parecido. Pero como esto, nunca. Interesante en demasía el tema, las tomas del filme y el uso del equipo. Muy bueno. Le felicito a usted señor.
