1950s Broken Tire Inflator - Restoration

[@ixamraxi]

A vast majority of youtube "restorations" are barely even repairs, removing rust with a bucket of evapo-rust, cleaning up the the surfaces, slinging some paint at it, and getting things just back to a functional state. This? This is absolutely a restoration. No doubt about it. The fact that you welded up the slot and re-milled it alone puts you in a whole different category to other youtubers, but to then machine new screws instead of just finding some that kind-of fit, buffing every surface and pin, _screenprinting_ the dial, and other completely unnecessary but crucial steps to maximizing the quality of the final product. Very impressive work sir, you've re-set the bar. I'd say even for many of the well established restoration channels.

[@agwbcfjc2]

@11:33 you pause the restoration to explain a mismatch of parts. For me that explanation is an example of how you have managed to draw so many millions of viewers. Not only are you a world class master machinist, and a master of many crafts that help you to achieve the restorations you address, you are also a master videographer. You realized that making a video is telling a story. In all of your videos that I have viewed, you lead the viewer seamlessly through all the otherwise complicated steps and procedures with an elegant and charming simplicity. Your simplicity is deceptive though sir, for it is as rock solid and sequentially logical as A is followed by B, and C is followed by D and so on. In this particular video, your drawing of, and colorization of the diagram was, to me, a telling example of your videographic artistry--for the style of the diagram and your use of it has a casual air that gives your videos the engaging quality that draws millions of viewers to your channel. Thank you indeed for sharing!

[@MrJackHagan]

To be fair, its completely unfair to call My Mechanics a "Restoration" channel. Restoration suggests he brings the object back to a "like new" or at least "operational" status. This man improves these objects, bringing them to a higher standard of quality than they had fresh off the assembly line.

[@allyoop7138]

@@torib2122 Thanx.

[@javierbg1995]

10:06 Just a tip! If you want to make an accurate scanning, in order to preserve the dimensions more accurately, put the object you are scanning in the middle of the scanner sensor. Most home scanners have a really small sensor in the middle (the long bar is mostly for the LEDs used for illuminating the scan) and use a lens to focus the image there. Most of the distortion occurs in the edges of the scan. Thanks Technology Connections!

[@Bender-x1u]

Are you sure about that? Most scanners are scanning line by line. They do not have lenses which might introduce spherical. abberation.

[@javierbg1995]

@@Bender-x1u Yes, they are. And the way they do that is by focusing each line into a 1D sensor in the middle of the scanner that travels down the page. The sensor does not span the whole width, hence why they need lenses (software correction is applied to the sensor data to account for this)

This is so cathartic, lol. I just found your channel and have just been letting it play while I'm working: Deal with gnarly IT mess.....Watch some fine gentleman immaculately restore something. It's a weird balance, but seems to work.

[@Eriknorth87]

Haha Same here!! There's just something so satisfying about watching an old, basically junk, tool or equipment be restored to better than new. While I peck away at my keyboard.

[@wyattbottorff2473]

Terribly impressive. I do believe this is the most precision instrument Ive seen you restore, yet anyway. I started with the German ratcheting wrench and have jumped around ever since loving every minute of it.

[@riverhoneybee]

This is one of the most thorough and enjoyable restorations I have seen. Truly captured the build quality and essence of the old tool and brought it back to life. Keep up the great work.

[@mymechanics]

Thank you very much! I really do appreciate it :-)

[@burnre]

i tip my hat to you sir. Your attention to detail is on point. As a lifetime mechanic, thinking about getting one of these off the tool truck and then 40 years later getting to witness that nostalgia once again blows my mind. Im sure some of these old timers thats had these tools you restore are really appreciating your vids

[@Vickie-Bligh]

Once again I am astounded by your machining ability as well as your knowledge of the tools you restore. You absolutely bring these things back to life. Thank you.

[@bradfromsc4265]

That is one of the best restorations I’ve ever seen,please do lots more.

[@mymechanics]

Thank you very much Brad. It's also by far my best and most challenging work so far.

[@jimzucker]

Your channel will get big. Is by far the best restorations channel on KZbin! You are bringing this kind of videos to a whole new level. Keep up the good work!

[@jmsunemploymenttube9191]

Really excellent. But I’m nervous every time you use your hacksaw in the lathe chuck.

[@TomCourtney]

I was really impressed how you remade the dial and reprinted the text/markings, that was excellent.

[@RichRileyKTF]

The best restoration job I have ever sen on KZbin, well done!!!

[@SEErvin]

Him: Let’s make a new one. Me: *cackling and rubbing hands together manically* Yes, let’s....

[@mavza]

When you used GIMP my respect for you increased 10 fold.

[@Nuffsi]

I keep rewatching your videos. Theire all so perfect and satisfying to watch.

[@mymechanics]

Wow, thank you!

[@Mr.SparkleOG]

Left me without words sir.... Incredible perfectionism

[@slundy]

by far one of the best restoration vids I've watched on here, and I've watched 1000's. Love it!

[@shamila.2035]

Я смотрю твои видео, супер!! Мастер от Бога.

[@geoffdroid4121]

What amazes me, is how he knows how a specific part is supposed to look. Amazing job.

[@mymechanics]

Nice to hear that, thank you :-)

[@geoffdroid4121]

You're welcome 🙂

[@KalRandom]

You sir make me want to restore all the old tools I have laying around, that are not used, besides a look at. Just found your channel, been binge watching since.

[@bazwillrun]

amazing !...that dial looks so classic...wish the dials on cars looked like that, simple and functional

[@cgavin1]

The quality of the engineering on what would have been a simple tool is quite impressive. It really puts modern equipment to shame, doesn't it? Amazing!

[@sortedsortof3474]

Fantastic photography as always.
