Such an incredible video. This isnt just another restoration video. It's a work of art and documentary of history. Everyone has played in a Radio Flyer wagon as a kid or dreamt of one. This is the kind of video you need to share on Facebook, Instagram, and email to your old friend that you use to tow around in a wagon!

@Doubleodude 5 лет назад

I feel the same way. Justin you are becoming much more than an average RU-vidr. It’s a pleasure to watch you at your craft and a blessing to all you share it with.

@Shane-Singleton 5 лет назад

I agree. The history elevates this to a new level. I had a Radio Flyer. This one hit home for me. It doesn't bother me at all that this is a resto-mod of sorts. I loved every second of it. Nice job on the decals as well!

@jimd9511 5 лет назад

Not only was the restoration fantastic, this style of video, telling the history and story of the object made it more emotional, bringing up so many fond memories. Please keep it going!

@jasonpatterson2258 5 лет назад

May need to have Chuckie "duckie" look over those welds 😂

@glafiramguerrero3963 4 года назад

Okay.

@NoName01972 5 лет назад

Yes, please keep doing the history bits. Your voice is perfect for the mini documentaries. Nice work, as usual!

@benjamindelnat9448 5 лет назад

The history aspect of the items has honestly become my favorite aspect to the restorations, especially because the majority of my time I watch your restorations I am working in my shop and just listening. Even narrating over the entire video would be welcome! Keep it up! Great looking wagon.

@dennisgallagher1686 5 лет назад

Great job and interesting history lesson

@louisaziz1235 5 лет назад

Remarkable. Amazing job. More history, please. Too many have forgotten or never learned. Thank you.

@georgegooding57 5 лет назад

I can remember having a RadioFlyer as a kid , and using it to deliver news papers. This brings back a lot of memories.

@miltonpound763 5 лет назад

I enjoy the history lesson. Sometimes the endless tapping and droning of equipment is boring. Your well researched and topical history lessons are welcome and appreciated.

@maggiesue4825 5 лет назад

We used to pile up three of us (we were young) in a Radio Flyer, pull back the tongue, and head down a hill. When we got to the bottom, we were going too fast to turn onto the next street, so we ran into a neighbor's yard. Miraculously, none of us were killed. Beautiful job!

@psementalist 5 лет назад

Holy cow that's amazingly awesome great history lesson 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

@garytredwell5649 4 года назад

No complaints about your welding...couldn't believe you did the metal replacement with wire! Fabulous skill.

@craigmooring2091 5 лет назад

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes, I enjoyed watching the healing of that little red wagon. Yes, I was edified by the history you related. Yes, I could take more of the same. Oh, and yes that was a gorgeous job. That one-year-old is a lucky little lad.

@pilgrimm23 5 лет назад

Thank you Justin. I am in my 60s. When I was 4 I had a bad issue with a knee repaired and had to learn to walk all over. While I healed, My older brother used to pull me around in just such a wagon. To me, a "Little red wagon" speaks of my youth, of family, and of many many things. Your skill as a body man shows. Well Well Done. And thank you for the memory.

@Rusty_ok 5 лет назад

That will be a great birthday gift for a young man. Many things are learned with toys like this.

@Hyratel 5 лет назад

This punched right up center. We still have ours, and yes it is a Radio Flyer, proper. It's seen some miles, been taken camping, spilled laughing kids out on the side of a hill. This was right on your home turf as a body man, wasn't it? ReBuilt with love, this one. May it see many happy summer days.

@bpfirehunt0192 5 лет назад

I loved the story and this was a great restomod. Its astounding at all the little people in the states who have been taken advantage of due to big money. Thumbs up to all the inventors who didnt get their break.

@totherarf 5 лет назад

Yes!Yes! YES!! Give me it ALL! Seriously though it IS history. Without knowing the history of a thing you can only appreciate half of what it is! It is interesting to see how "broke" something has to be before it is irreparable and the difference between renovating parts and replacing them. It is also good to see the techniques used for different types of repair (and why) because there are usually more than one way to "do it"! Another Great Video!

@johnbehneman1546 Год назад

AFTER MY DAD PASSED AWAY. I STARTED TOA ATTEND THE PAMONA SWAP MEET WITH MY YOUNGER BROTHERS. I COULD NOT AFFORD TO BUY A BRAND-NEW WAGON. SO I BOUGHT AN OLD ONE AT THE SWAP MEET. I TOOK IT HOME. REBUILT IT. AND TOOK IT ALL THE TIME AFTER THAT. I DID SUCH A GREAT JOB ON THE REBUILD. I GOT AN OFFER TO SELL IT. BUT I KEPT IT. THANKS FOR LETTING ME, SHRE. SO YES. I LOVE THE RADIO FLYER BRAND.

@robertmiller5735 5 лет назад

I was born Sept 6, 1960 on Dec 25, 1960 I was give my red wagon. I restored it for my step son's 4th birthday, back in 1974.

@InformationIsTheEdge 5 лет назад

Cool project and cool narrative! Loved the story! I must say I feel a very slight sense of pity for anyone that cannot distinctly recall the childhood sensation of being simultaneously thrilled and terrified, racing one of these down a hill. My folks bought one for all the siblings to share and we loved that thing. To death! My father repaired that little red wagon so many times I don't think anything but the bed, steering yoke and a few bolts were still original on it when the kids were all grown up. Now it's a humble gardening tool. But back in the day it was a space shuttle to the moon!

@pemtax557 5 лет назад

I'm nearing the end of my time here on earth and this video has brought me to tears of joy. I too had one of these magical first vehicles that filled more days than not with adventure. Thanks from this old man that truly enjoyed one more ride in a radio flyer.

@TheGoodoftheLand 5 лет назад

+Dave Pierce Thank you David. I made it for you.

@glennbelldc1651 5 лет назад

I had one of those and raced down hill pretending I was flying a plane! Love history myself. Tell me more never to old to learn something new. great resto mod.

@BossmanEight 5 лет назад

I like it! I like that you took the time to bring back a piece of my youth so that *someone* 2 generations younger will know the joy and imagination a "little red wagon" invokes.

@deniseboldea1624 4 года назад

This brings back memories of the Radio Flyer Wagon I had as a child. Mine had bigger tires that could handle tougher Terrains.

@jfkr77 Год назад

The beginning had the feel of a time forgotten thanks brought back lots of warm memories

@stevenhoman2253 5 лет назад

A beautiful job on a device foreign to my culture but to me, associated with 50's Americana. The sturdy, rugged construction is very appealing from a design standpoint, which you have certainly done it proud.

@MMM_Pizza 5 лет назад

You saved something that was rusting away to nothing, and created a fantastic gift that will undoubtedly bring hours of joy to that little boy. Great job!

@dankolar6066 5 лет назад

Nicely done. The fine art of planishing is seldom demonstrated so well. Thank you.

@markusayt 5 лет назад

It was fun seeing a body man work with a hammer, power tools and filler. Stopping and feeling for flatness is a good technique. Thanks for the video.

@garyburgmylifeandtimes6354 4 года назад

I for one appreciate the background on the RadioFlyer. Great restoration making it actually stronger that originally designed. I’m hoping the special 1yr old will enjoy it for many years to come.

@karlcarnevale4948 5 лет назад

Wow Justin. Great story great resto-mod. Great to see how you filled those rust holes. Takes skill to patch like you did. Easier to do a cut out then patch fill. Thanks for sharing

@theseeker26253 5 лет назад

Maybe not a restoration, but definitely a return to service. I always wonder at people that comment about how that isn't how you do that, when the video evidence is right there! Lots of ways to do things. I probably wouldn't have repaired that wagon that way, but I don't have a welder. The job got done and looks like a solid repair, Thanks for bringing me along!

@ronwallace6273 5 лет назад

I loved the restored wagon an easy way to fill the hole too is get a copper bar with edge rounded off and use it as a back to weld the weld wont stick to copper and the other side wont have wire sticking out , 35 years of welding experience, great show thank you

@TheCryptKeeper. 5 лет назад

You restoration guys are the "real American hero's"

@johnbehneman1546 Год назад

I LOVE IT!!! TOTALLY AWESOME BUILD!!! TOTALLY AWSOME FABRICATION!!!! SHE CAME OUT SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!

@virginiagonzalez1138 5 лет назад

That sure brings back memories. Love the history lesson. More of these please!

@garymucher9590 5 лет назад

A great idea when you are welding over/in holes. Use either an aluminum backer plate or a brass/copper one. It will allow you to fill in holes so much faster. Absolutely great refurbishing project. Thumbs Up for sure...

@brians9072 4 года назад

I like that you told a story of the piece before the restoration (history) and I like when you explain what you are doing and why you choose the method during the video. Basically doing a voice-over in editing. Great job by the way!

@ScyberDruid 5 лет назад

I admire the respect you show to the items you restore.

@BenG76Cards 5 лет назад

Killer job. I'm sure the young man that gets the wagon will treasure it.

@debdottir 5 лет назад

Looks very nice. I'm 66 years old and my siblings and I had at least one Radio Flyer on the farm.

@shawnhagen6871 5 лет назад

I know you want to get the homestead part of the channel going strong, but man, you’re God given talent was just on display. You honed your skills over the years for sure, but that video in its totality is one of your best yet! 👍

@edmarkham2632 5 лет назад

What a great job. Bring back a little bit of history.

@ianlowe4666 5 лет назад

I genuinely think adding some of the backstory behind the items you're restoring is an excellent idea Justin. The manufacturer or the inventor, it's history, anything that humanises the item and gives it context to a modern audience is a win. I love the before, restoration and reveal of old tools and I subscribe to several channels that make such content, but the history of the tools and the men/women who made them is just as fascinating to me. As a formula the combination of both (documenting the restoration and describing the history of the item) is a winner to my mind, thumbs up.

@TheGoodoftheLand 5 лет назад

+Ian Lowe Thank you Ian.

@GustheStruggleBus 5 лет назад

Holy cow! When I got out of this video is that with the right tools in the right mindset you can pretty much do anything. Thank you for sharing

@mtmchenry 5 лет назад

The history with the restoration was great. Looking forward to seeing more.

@apocalypse92ia 5 лет назад

The pounding of hammer against steel is really relaxing loved the video

@gardenrailroading 5 лет назад

This was wonderful, I love the extra that you're putting into the video. Thank You!!

@JaimeDrewatWoodenU 5 лет назад

We would put an old TV dinner folding tray in our wagon throw a blanket over it and that was our stagecoach. Thanks for the history and video.

@michaelshinn162 5 лет назад

Justin, I absolutely love the way you can take trash to treasure. Sometimes a restoration has to be a total rebuild as there is not enough left of the original to restore. You are a sheet metal and bondo guru. Keep up the good work. Just because it is old, does not mean it is junk.

@tribblebooth1224 5 лет назад

What a fantastic job! And the icing on the cake, was the great commentary and all the historical information provided regarding the Little Red Wagon. Brilliant!

@joeestes8114 5 лет назад

Thats awesome! Looks great! Just think...if that wagon could talk it would probably tell how it made two young children smile :)

@Uncle_Bob_K 5 лет назад

Thank you for bringing back some good memories.

@Cradley684 5 лет назад

NO matter what you call it, you still did a great job !!! Brian UK .

@KoalityofLife 5 лет назад

Very nicely done, a lot of patients to weld the holes up instead of using patches, been there, done that. Who's the lucky 1 year old? :)

@vickiefowler1429 5 лет назад

What a wonderful story and tribute to the man who invented “the little red wagon”. My brother and I had one when we were kids. Wish I knew what happened to it. I think my grandfather used it to haul stuff around when working in the yard/garden.

@mramanya 5 лет назад

I am really digging the history lessons. This is a great addition to your videos.

@Awrethien 5 лет назад

Love the story with the video. Your passion and respect for history really shines through.

@carlmarsteller8649 5 лет назад

Love the history... A forgotten truth. can't be changed , but all should learned. Great format and build. Carl in PA

@rictus7222 5 лет назад

I remember my little red wagon when I was a young boy and all the road rashes and fun I had with it. And I do really like the little stories and history behind each rebuild or restoration

@alvindueck8227 5 лет назад

I thoughrly enjoyed the story of how the Radio Flyer came about. Enjoyed the restomod as well Thanks for sharing.

@talk2kev 5 лет назад

Awesome job, love the history behind the item. In a way it fitting Antonio Pasin invented a cart out of necessity it became popular. Sear stole the idea and you put it back in its rightful place . Necessity is the mother of invention. I really enjoyed your video, Thanks

@JoeyP322 5 лет назад

Your history of this was not only informational but added to watching you with your gift. Thanks

@Yellow_Hammer 5 лет назад

This is how it should be. I love history myself. You took things to another level with this video. Thanks for the hard work. 👌

@caroltullar4227 4 года назад

absolutely loved this ....everything about it.

@larryshaw796 5 лет назад

Having spent a lot of time in my uncle's body shop I really enjoyed this nostalgic little ride I hope the little boy enjoys this great piece of americana

@remoc52357 5 лет назад

I love the history behind this rescue.....please don't stop that part of your videos!!!!!! Dude restomods are awesome......keep it up!!!!!!

@phylissrandt3214 5 лет назад

That was like watching a time machine in action. The memories came flooding back to the early 50's . My brother had one and truth be told I used it more than he did. It was my royal coach as the prince escorted me to the ball. Thank you for the memories

@campirider 5 лет назад

Fantastic idea!!!!! Please more history and story telling while restoring the item!

@symalus 5 лет назад

@paulosborne6517 4 года назад

@dandare00uk 5 лет назад

Wow great bit of historical docu-restoration.

@bradmilburn5418 5 лет назад

It's great seeing someone else restore one of these wagons. My father and I also like to find old beat up wagons and restore and modify them. Love the video great job as always!!!!

@thunderstruck1078 5 лет назад

Your best video so far. Love the way you incorporated the story into the restoration.

@Barbarra63297 5 лет назад

Turned out beautiful!

Totally digging the new format with the historical narration.

@TheGoodoftheLand 5 лет назад

+Darren Lemieux Thanks! Give it a share on Facebook!

@thomaslamora1679 5 лет назад

great video. a bit of history, elbow grease, sparks and paint. I'm looking forward to many more.

@johnreinburg859 5 лет назад

Amazing, you are a true craftsman. You don't see the work and care like you put into this project.

@diegoantunez505 5 лет назад

Well done, Justin. It is a beatiful piece of art. And the story of this toy was great too!

As a lover of history, the story of how the Little Red Wagon came to be was amazing. A lovely restomod. Keep up the excellent work and keeping history alive ☺

@JohnLegionH 5 лет назад

Its always nice to learn something new or be reminded of the things we forget. This was a nice touch to a wonderful rebirth. Keep them coming.

@alvinbaker8137 5 лет назад

LOVE the history! more of it would be good!

@notxarb21 5 лет назад

Nice work with beautiful results! Thank you for telling the story that goes along with the wagon... it really completes the package!

@cjdixon7132 5 лет назад

Wow! What a beautiful job.

@terribleadelaidedrivers8754 5 лет назад

Nice work Justin. I enjoyed hearing about the history of the wagon. Lovely welding shots - some of the best I have seen.

@neillh 5 лет назад

Great job, 👍 another trick of welding holes is to hold a thick piece of copper firmly against the back when welding it helps to get a flat surface so less grinding

@kevinjewell92 5 лет назад

Aluminum lift blocks for trucks also work well. They are cheap and easy to come by.

@ericanhorn811 5 лет назад
