Two things that I really love about this channel are that the toys are older than the other restoration channels I watch and the videos have some "style" that many others lack. I really appreciate the extra effort made with the filming and editing.

[@TheFabrik]

Thanks again for these nice words William. I’m glad you enjoyed. 😌🙌

[@kimwilliford6303]

@@TheFabrik do you have a favorite restoration? Can you please share about it? I love the editing and filming of these videos. I also like the explanations you give. Thanks for the videos. Your work is absolutely beautiful and brilliant.

Everything was made so well back in those days! Now if I could only find someone to restore this 1959 Model Female to her former glory, I'd really be impressed! Great work and fun video.

Love your work, and love these old toys you fix.i dont have any, i only have modern toys, mostly action figures, plastic. But i love those old collectibles, 😢 just cant afford them. But i at least get to see them in your channel. 👍👍👍 thanks.

[@TheFabrik]

Thanks a lot for watching and also commenting ! You can buy some old toys at a reasonnable price !! 🙌 Thanks again ! 😃👍🏻

[@michelgilis725]

Paintjob allready looking better & you did a really nice job restoring those roller wheels Just few more tips: If its pitted well, first apply tick layer of filler primer,than wet sand this with 800/1000 grid untill you have a flat surface,than use regular primer, also wet sand with 1000/1200,etc grid,than apply final color in 3 or 4 coats with little time between the layers, untill you reach a equal mirroring surface. If its done well,polishing wil not be needed. Good luck 👍🏻

[@TheFabrik]

Ok Michel thank you very much for all these tips ! 😌🙌

[@SaltyVan]

Very nice!

Old toys with an operator / driver always seem so much more engaging, and slightly Twilight Zone. Another beautiful job, and I enjoyed your use of some creative new camera angles. Excellent.

Wound-up toys are cooler than I thought! Seeing the vehicle go while the key is spinning slowly is satisfying. Why did we stop using those mechanisms?

Thank you !! 😃🙌

[@Damien.D]

You're seriously improving. Not on work of restoration, beacause, well, this channel it's near perfection from the get go on that point, but on the video and editing, there are beautiful shots and the whole video really tells a story. Also the citric acid trick works wonderfully. I'm stealing you that technique... Keep up the good work on saving vintage toy-town, one piece at a time.

[@TheFabrik]

Hi Damien ! Thanks a lot for these nice words. You know I do these videos with an old iphone6 , I’m aware quality could be better. I just bought a camera so it will more pleasant to watch from now... I hope so !! Compared to some other channels I feel like I need to work harder. It’s really gratifying to know I’m improving ! Thanks again my friend 🙏

Road roller is cool

[@luliu4572]

ROAD ROLLER DA! WRYYYYYY!

[@ChakatNightspark]

Nice. You found this in a yard, dump some where? I mean you said it was abandoned so you got it for Free. Even though the wheels were made of cardboard, Think I would have changed it out to metal. So it would last another 50+ years without the wheels fall apart either from just breaking down or getting wet.

[@patounet331]

Waouh ! Bravo pour la restauration ! Il est presque plus beau que le mien qui était l'un de mes jouets quand j'étais petit et que j'ai conservé ! La différence concerne le déplacement de ce rouleau compresseur. Le mien alterne la marche en avant et la marche arrière avec un petit cliquetis à chaque changement !

[@TheFabrik]

Oh merci beaucoup! C'est la première fois que je vois un moteur à 90° comme celui-là. J'ai aussi le cliquetis et c'est normal je pense. Il faut en fait bouger les roues arrières sur leur axe; Il y a une marche avant et une marche arrière qui s'enclenche selon le positionnement des roues. Il faut tirer ou pousser l'essieu arrière... Normalement ça doit marcher ....

[@patounet331]

@@TheFabrik Bon, je suis allé dans le grenier, ouvert le carton de mes "reliques" ... Effectivement votre jouet est nettement plus beau que le mien qui a subi les outrages du temps et de mes jeux ! ! ! J'ai tourné la clé et bien regardé le fonctionnement. L'essieu ne bouge pas latéralement et pourtant il y a bien alternance de la marche à chaque demi tour de la clé et sur une longueur d'action de 1 mètre environ. Je ne m'explique pas comment cela se produit, j'ai bien revisionné votre vidéo avec le démontage du moteur, en essayant de comprendre mais en vain ... Les roues restent bien à leur place sans aucun déplacement latéral ... Ce que j'ai pu remarquer est un léger déplacement vertical de la clé d'environ un demi millimètre à chaque changement de la marche. Je n'ose pas m'aventurer dans un démontage (qui me paraît assez difficile) pour analyser le comportement ... ^^ Bonnes futures restaurations ... Amicalement, Patrick

[@TheFabrik]

Ok Patrick il y a donc peut être un problème. Pour tout vous dire, sur le mien le remontage du mécanisme est assez aléatoire... des fois ça s’enclenche, des fois non. C’est assez difficile a comprendre mais le mouvemet latéral de l’essieu permet vraiment d’alterner la marche avant et arrière. A bientôt !
