All the items we've seen him do with the blue or green Hammerite paint. Then something comes in that already has almost the exact paint he loves to use and he does it in school bus yellow. I think TysyTube is just doing this to drive me crazy.
Was the first thing that came to mind too! I was excited to see the Hammer finish and thought "oh yeah, I know where this is going!!" I was so wrong. Looks great though amirite?!
@@TysyTube nice ripoff of “my mechanics”, my dude. Same style and everything. At least you’re nowhere as skilled as him and your high-end equipment is an electric screw driver? Lmao
@@bjorn55531 A pencil lead for a mechanical drafting pencil (they're about the same diameter as what's found in most wood pencils I think), some Epoxy Resin and one HELL of a lot of luck and he very well could do a pencil restoration video... That's one video I'd LOVE to watch... (Hint, Hint, Hint)...
I use 2mm lead holders, so I have a small collection of Koh I Noor No. 992 lead pointers from around 1949 and through the 1950s. They have Bakelite cup and the top is diecast. Very nice pieces.
Strange thing about pencil sharpeners, When you see one like this, you get this strange urge to find every pencil in the vicinity and start sharpening.
This was my only negative thing to say about it as well. Beautiful resto but ... Didn't care for the color. The blue would have been amazing. Still a gorgeous restoration though.
I remember this exact model clamped to the edge of the teacher's desk in my 1970s first grade classroom. It was always a treat to be the one allowed to sharpen all of the pencils.
The hole in the bottom is for fixing it to your desk plate. There is a 90 degree angled pipe missing with a clamp of some sort. Usually, a winged screw that presses the clamp against the underside of the table. So this piece is missing.
My Grandfather had one of these beauties in his little workshop. It was gifted to him by the steelmile, where he was a foreman for over 50 years. Seeing it triggered for some reason so many beautiful memories, wich where formed in the workshop with the old man. Once we build a boat in there, even if we did not knew, how to get it out of there :D Never thought, i would get emotional just by seeing a pencil sharpener :D Great work, always happy to see you restoring and savin the old and beatiful things in the world :)
Well, it doesn’t matter what it is, small things can bring back lots of memories. It’s not just a pencil sharpener, it’s a distinctive object that you can refer back to in your memories to certain event.
When he was using primer and wet sanding I was like "Dude, the hammerite paint you regularly use, can be directly applied over metal" then I saw the yellow spray paint and I went like "What the F..."
The Hammered color was definitely better. I think, like Olwen Morgan stated, it was green underneath. But Hammerite paint over metal would have been the way to go here. The yellow is a good color, but it is doesn't fit this item at all.
I'm sorry, but I have been having the worlds crappiest day. Everything I touch falls apart. So I sat down to catch up on my subscriptions, and this popped up.. When that spring went flying and I heard it hit the wall or what ever, I couldn't stop laughing!! Turned my day around. Thank you for that. Nice restoration by the way!!!!
There were a lot of parts for such a small item! Your attention to detail and being slow and deliberate at every point (or segment as I think about your resotrations) is a great example for those of us who are DIYers. In fact, today I was using a chain saw and pole saw to cut branches from several trees in our yard, and the chain came off of the pole saw twice. I was aggravated but while fixing the problem your restoration techniques popped into my thoughts right then and I used your techniques in finding the problem and fixing it. After watching so many of your videos it was almost automatic, like I imagined how you would address and fix the problem(s). Nothing was broken but needed adjustment, and I had to disassemble a few parts. By cleaning the area so I could see the parts, and going slowly and deliberately, and not letting my aggravation cause me to lose my concentration, I was able to see, inside the area where the bar and chain attach to the motor, a very small adjustment screw move that I would've missed by being hasty, and I was able to easily make an adjustment, reassemble, and start using the pole saw again. The chain didn't slip off of the bar anymore after that and at the time I decided to actually fix the problem and not just put the chain back on, I was only about halfway through all the cutting I needed to do. After I got done, my mind wandered back to your videos, and I further realized that as much as we all like to see the finished product, how you get your restorations to the end-point is as much as, or more imporant than the finished and restored item. Thanks for sharing your videos and the lessons taught! And you don't even talk. :)
We had one of those at primary school in the early 80s! Legendary! We tried to dull our pencil tips just to have the privilege to venture to the teachers desk and be allowed to use the machine!!
Seeing that sharpener after all these years all I remember is asking the teacher to sharpen my pencil and spending ages at the desk till there was no pencil left
I came across your channel randomly one day last month and I have lived every restoration I have watched. As a math teacher I was super excited to see this restoration. I LOVE what you did with this pencil sharpener and I love the color. I have seen sharpeners like this before, but did not realize it is a German design.
Really though, this pencil sharpener is way more advanced and effective than the simple crappy sharpeners you see bolted to the walls in US schools these days
I happy to see your restorations. I'm an artist and especially love seeing pencil sharpeners come back to life. Cast well has a long history of fine products. Thank you!
It’s simple he wanted it yellow so he made it yellow. If you don’t like it well tough. You know maybe he didn’t like the green so next time keep this to yourself
@@dansdiecastcarreviews4942 It’s simple he was asking why he made it yellow instead of the original green. If you don’t like it well tough. You know maybe he didn’t like the yellow so next time keep this to yourself
We had one of these at my first school, but only for the "top" class ie.10-11 year olds. I won't say which year...the younger children were not permitted to use it unsupervised. This bought back a lot of memories thank you. It was very classy, well made kit. Lovely restoration. Why didn't you paint it the same colour again pray tell 🙏?
im an aerospace finishing technician and i love videos like these. I've restored a 1956 Mall 36" chainsaw a few years ago and having a machine shop to work in was very helpful.
Great restoration. That type of 'vintage' pencil sharpener was found in every classroom when I went through infant & primary school in the 60's & early 70's - guess that makes me vintage also!
I love these videos, but every time I watch one I get stressed out wondering how on earth he’s gonna remember how to put it all back together in the right order, but then he always pulls through and I am left so satisfied and impressed.... an emotional rollercoaster
Beautiful job, but I think the colour and finish is not appropriate for that vintage period. More of a 'pimp' than a restoration! 'Pimp my Pencil Sharpener' 😁
I love watching everything coming apart and then like a puzzle, going piece by piece back together. I’m terrible at puzzles so it’s a little bit like magic for me
Fantástica restauración, como todas a las que nos tiene habituados. Pensé que también construiría la pieza que fija al sacapuntas a una mesa. Esa pieza (que se introduce a través de orificio que hay debajo de la gaveta de virutas) es parte fundamental del equipo. Gracias por estos maravillosos videos
8:21 It's not a real restoration if a part doesn't go flying across the workshop at some point! Very nice job. I had no idea how complicated something as basic as a pencil sharpener could be.
I actually laughed when that happened, mainly because it would have happened to me as well!😂 I'm just glad it didn't hit him!!! That would have smarted! Youch!
Я много лет занимался пескоструйной обработкой и покраской . С удовольствием смотрю на пескоструйные работы в видео. Меня очень радует смотреть на то как ржавая деталь становиться чистой и окрашенной. Пескоструйка это изюминка ваших видео.
These "old", so well made everyday use items are my favorite restorations. Would rather have one of these than a new one bought from anywhere today. Thank you.
You can still buy these, I like to do pencil drawings and always need a sharp point, tried loads of sharpeners, then discovered these are still available and its perfect. It always amazes me how you remember what goes where,I have to take photos, make sketches and notes, nice little nostalgic restoration.
True, you can still buy this type of pencil sharpener but the ones you get these days are far more cheaply made with lots of plastic parts. I own a vintage Steadtler pencil sharpener and a modern version and no guesses which one is superior in sharpening pencils and feels far better to use even when the cyclindrical blade has never been sharpened in its 60+ years of life.
0.25 Secret Stash, only joking, I remember these when I was at school in the 80s. Youd always play on it even if you didn't need to sharpen your pencil. Amazing work.
I'm a little surprised at a few things (I'm commenting only, and don't mean to detract from the work you've done). The first is that you didn't use a simular colour and type of paint. I absolutely hate the Hammerite paint textured look, but I thought you'd have used that to get a simular look and colour back on it. The second that you'd use the clear rubber feet instead of something more like the original black rubber feet that were on it. The third that you didn't paint the brass plate and then sand the raised letters so they'd be visible. Did you soak the retaining spring for the pencil holding cams in rust remover? It looked like there was still a bit of discolouration on the spring when you reinstalled it. You've done a very good job, as always, but I was just a little surprised, that's all.
I was surprised he went straight from sandblasting to painting, I'm used to him taking time to file the edges and smooth everything out first. Also not a fan of all the product placement.
@@XOMambaLif3 It is entirely possible to comment upon someone's work while still noting that they did a good job. It's not like I've said "here's what you did wrong..." As an example, on the paint comment, he's used almost the exact same paint colour on a restoration of a vice that the body of the sharpener had originally. So when I saw the close-ups of the sharpener I immediately thought "He'll probably use that Hammerite paint here again." Then when he went right to primer and a can of yellow paint my reaction was "I didn't expect that, that's surprising."
@@DougPoker Hey, if someone wants to sponsor him by sending him some product to use, and he wants to say thanks and show it, I don't really have any issue with that at all. I didn't notice any areas that especially needed filing, so I thought "They must have done a decent job making it in the first place."
You always choose such crazy colors to paint your restored projects with! I💓 watching the sandblaster in use. Wish I had a job that paid well to sit and use it all day! 👽
I would love to own this sharpener. It just has the coolest function. I mean come on the tab that you push to open the gears which float the pencil which allows the pencil to go inside the sharpener. We can't ever find stuff this cool stateside because it was never set overseas. You guys over on the other side of the Pond are so lucky you have no idea.
One of these was on every teacher's desk in my schools; three primary schools and one academy , even the high school where I did night classes. It must have been a profitable line; never knew they were German built. That was in the 60s/70s and every one of them was blue. I thought you'd use blue Hammerite; would have been a pretty good match. Like so many other commentors, I'm not a huge fan of the yellow but it should always be easy to find, even in the dark. Seemed like quite a straightforward job this one but, after such a thorough clean, it should last another 70 years - they seem to have been built to last. Vorsprung durch technik and all that.😁 P.S. I was always told that that phrase didn't actually mean anything in German but I just googled it to check the spelling and, apparently: 'progress through technology' who knew? 😁
@@WAdiS21 Interesting, and Russian would be even more surprising in Scottish schools in the '60s and '70s. No offence intended to German or Russian pencil sharpeners, just seems strange to me. 😁
I was looking forward to seeing how you would of sharpened the helical cutter, but I suppose that would of been really, really tricky !! In any case great restoration !
Tysy, your restorations are a great way to turn my day better. Always makes me happy when you transform old thing in new ones. The objects you restore, the details on de video edition, and the atmosfere of simplicity. Thank You for this fine job: Make my life better !
