@@markmccoy1512 🔴 What Is Islam? 🔴 Islam is not just another religion. 🔵 It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham. 🔴 Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God. 🔵 It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone. 🔴 It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine. 🌍 The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as: 📖 { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4) 📚 🔴 Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus. 🔵 Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him.

Such an unusual scale. I’ve never seen one like that! Very nice restoration effort - especially remaking the decal for the markings!

I watch a lot of these restoration videos. My Mechanics is usually the best but this was very familiar to his style and I liked it. I also liked the time-lapse of the paint being removed, that was a nice touch!

[@Thobbit8]

My mechanics is one my favorites because of how much a perfectionist he is, his work is always a pleasure to watch. I agree this video is very similar to his style. I’m sure he is doing his best to get on My Mechanics level. Overall great restoration 👍

[@julianr.7186]

I´m speechless, this is beyond fantastic. I love how you remake your own broken pieces. I never get tired of it. Congratulations!!

It is lovely to see these wonderful old items, fully restored and in use. From an age when things were truly built to last. I hope this was as satisfying for you to complete, as it was for us to watch. God bless you, from UK

That age also had a lot of lead paint and asbestos lung js

[@KennethNicholson1972]

@@kyrab7914 My house has an 8" diameter Asbestos flue pipe from the ground to the attic space, and I have used lead all my life to make fishing weights, and shot for muzzle loading. Provided you wear safety equipment when stripping these toxic things you will be fine. I am very old but still here.

[@Setixir]

​@@KennethNicholson1972 Yea and there's plenty of people put there that have straight died from cancer caused by asbestos and from lead poisoning. There's a reason those things are no longer used. I have also used lead for most of my love but I'm thrilled it's not used for paint any longer.

Great job at not cutting corners, just as my mechanics. Your camara work goes one up from my mechanics though. The timelapse of the paint bubbling up was high class. Keep up the good work, will definitely keep following this channel. As long as you don't cut corners I will keep following. Some copy cats try to do what you and my mechanics do but they all cut corners. You two are the only one I follow in this genre! 💪🏻

Encore une belle restauration à la hauteur de l'objet restauré! La palette des domaines et le soin des détails augmentent à chaque épisode, félicitations.

Great job. It is not overdone (as you wrote: not newer than new). Beautiful result. I enjoyed watching the treatment of these little balls or spheres in the wooden mold. Very practical an funny.

[@pfadiva]

A lovely job on a unique item. I appreciate that you don't remove all the age from an item. Some small casting marks, minor pitting, a little wear all show the item wasn't made yesterday. Things that are old should be allowed to show some age, or at least that's theory I use on my personal appearance! Excellent work!

There's just something so mesmerising about the restoration of items from the past. Thoroughly enjoyed watching the transformation.

Beautiful work, I enjoyed much. Also the lathe work was very good. Saving the original color is extra good. Thank you for sharing with us 👍🏻⭐️🛠🔧

[@chrisdeli7547]

if you use it couple of times numbers will come closer to the new. also dont use chemicals or electrolysis at springs and steels it makes them harder and more brittle (maybe thats why you have the difference) only blasting. Perfect job. P.S. you should have left the "message" for the next one.

[@mikesterling2613]

Beautifully done, I love how you do your best to preserve as many of the project's original parts as possible while making sure some obvious failure points, like the needle on this scale being cheap stamped metal press-fit on the dial, are improved upon if needed, in this case replaced by a sturdier cut-out and a brass nut.
