From Ireland To England | Embossing Stamp Press (Restoration) 

😂👍👍👍

Thank you for your beautiful comment I’m so glad that it has brought some joy and happiness to you. your comment alone has spurred me on for the New Year. I had no idea that the press would bring so many memories back to so many people it’s been an absolute pleasure connecting to everyone. May you have a wonderful new year. Oh and I read your message the my partner and even she had a tear in her eye. 😊😊

@@restorationvideos, Thank you so much and I’m glad you’re getting some nostalgic comments due to your dealing with older iron restorations. I’ve read a few here who question whether you’ve destroyed the “monetary value” of something by restoring it? Monetary value? Embossing presses are a dime a dozen left as is and nobody really “invests” in such antiques anymore. Their value lays in the memories they hold, to people who had them in their life at some point. Your restoration videos spark memories. THAT is the value in them. It’s also valuable to you in your passion in exercising your artistic talent. A win, win. I’m old-school. Modern kids don’t appreciate history or old things cast in iron, they’re so busy on their computers looking up the latest generation of plastic crap and electronics, that they don’t have time for grandmother’s “things” rotting in the attic or landfill. The new generation’s view of “antiques” might be the first Atari video game. Let’s see? Should it be restored to original condition a hundred years later? I think not. Long forgotten, the memories are as well. Memories are so temporary these days. But, the older generation still remembers antiques and respects them as heirlooms or just memories of the past we touched. No internet to cloud your appreciation of things by distraction from what you’ve personally experienced. So when you restored the embossing press, you restored a memory in me and others like me. What could you sell that for? Nothing, but the time and patience it took to bring the machine back to life, is priceless to so many of us. We thank you.

funny you should say that 😉 because I have made some myself on my 3d printer I just didn’t have it ready in time for video release. 😊 thanks for the comment you are spot on. 👍👍

Thank you very appreciated. Post a link about the new dies and I can check it out and repost myself.

@@restorationvideos This is the same processes i do in work. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nJmm2Cu06pk.html

@@martinobrien4882 awesome looks good I’ve got a 3d printer so I’m going to give it a try on that first. I’ve had my eye on trotec for a while really want one but don’t have space yet .😂

@@restorationvideos word of advice. If getting the Trotec speedy laser machine, and they try to get you to buy the filter machines...Dont. they clog up easily annoying you with a beeping warning to change the filters. best just to vent the machine out a window instead.

That’s great to here Keith and it’s such a beautiful object.I’m definitely going to be using mine for something. I send my wishes at this time of the year to you and your mum.😊

@@restorationvideos Thak you, Merry Christmas

My pleasure and thank you for watching much appreciated 😊

Welcome!

Thank you

Your most welcome and thank you for the kind words.

Yes, thanks

Thank you. Hope you subscribed many more to come.😊

Yes, I subscribed part-way through the first video! Please keep them coming!

@@stromnessboy5171 thank you. definitely more to come from all time periods. 😊

I know I should of hand painted it but I went to far with the paint work. Was going to gold leaf the stencil work but I wasn’t confident enough just yet. Thanks for the feedback much appreciated more to come. Thank you 😊

couldn't agree more.

😂 I thought I’d try asking for subs and little funny bits of editing and it worked. Thank you for your kindness and a merry Christmas to you too. Thank you for your sub.😊

@@restorationvideos it worked on me. I subscribed! A really lovely job. PS: you wrote "ceased" about that screw when I think you meant "seized" but you could have meant "deceased" as it was definitely dead.

I know I had spelt it correct in another video.😂 thank you

Thanks

Thank you 🙏

Thanks mate

Many thanks!

Thanks 👍

Thank you! 😊

Thank you

Thank you for the information I will definitely be testing that out I always enjoy finding out new techniques for restoration. Thank you 😊 merry Christmas

I think about it alot and there is an abundance of them being sold in much better condition. I make sure each item is in the worst state I can find it compared to others and I do some history searching on the item to make sure I’m not destroying something valuable and rare. Thanks for the comment 😊 merry Christmas

It's the name of a house in Malone Park, so it's for embossing personal stationery with the address, not a company seal.

I think it may have been the name of house. I do know that it was a very wealthy area and still is so may have been a personal stamp. I’m still looking for info so will post any info I find. Thanks for the comment. 😊

@@MillwalltheCat ohh makes sense. Wonder does the house still exist, and if the current owners know about this video.

@@restorationvideos yeah the othet comment clears up a part of the story. Yeah the Malone area of Belfast is quite wealthy

@@E9JMX If only we had a postcode!

☺️ thank you

Thank you! Cheers!

I have some just didn’t use them. I’m still learning my filming techniques and I often forget what I’m actually doing in the moment.😂 thanks for the comment.

I will be getting some printed up 😊

Thank you 🙏

Thank you! Cheers!

😂 yeah I thought that might do the trick and it definitely has.thanks for your time watching.😊👍👍

That’s a great piece of advice I did not know that I will try straight away.thank you 😊

Glad you liked it. Thank you for your sub very appreciated. 😊

😊👍

Thank you very much!

Thanks hopefully I get more soon 😊

Because people have soured on restoration channels, assuming they’re all fake. This one doesn’t seem to be, based on the screws and chipped paint.

@@ferretyluv what made people think they're fake?

Thanks guys 😉 I am real I assure you I do these projects in a 12by7 shed so it’s tight. I feel the same about some of these fake restoration videos and they all seem to make a bundle of views 🤔

Many thanks!

@@restorationvideos Seized, not ceased.

Thank you! 😊

Understandable. When i watched it myself afterwards i cringed as I had punches sitting next to me.sometimes you don’t realise. 😊

Thank you

Thank you so much

Thanks 👍

Very old paint

Glad you like it!

Thanks!

Thank you very much appreciated 😊

There just cutting disc’s for it

Thank you 😊

@@restorationvideos your very welcome enjoy your day and Happy Holidays!!!

They were handpainted with gold paint, and then varnished with shellac. Putting a layer of blonde shellac over it instead of modern varnish will give it that wonderful original looking darker golden hue.

Great point!😊

Muitíssimo obrigada

EBay purchased 😊

I was going to 3d print one but my 3d modelling skills are not up to scratch yet. I did give it a go that’s how I got the subscribe on paper at the end but my time frame was up to post the video. Thanks for the comment. Much appreciated 😊👍

@@restorationvideos thanks for the answer, keep up your good work

None taken 😊 thanks for commenting

@@baddudecornpop7328 thanks for watching 😊👍

Ahh I’m so sorry you don’t like it but it will be used again saving it from the furnace and landfill where so many of these items end up. Research has been done and it’s value was minimal so unwanted. If you have a look at my community posts there are some better after photos that you can view. Thanks for the comment. N911gt2

@@restorationvideos Good perspective, in that you are right!

By doing something is to learn so that’s my process learn everything I can. The best learning process is to experience your mistakes. Also have some fun while you’re doing it. Thanks for your comment 😊
