Back in the early 1970s, when jukeboxes were ubiquitous, my dad had an idea that would be a button where you pay the same amount of money one paid for a song, but instead you got the time span for a song in the form of silence. I was too young to undertand the phylosophy back then, but now, in retrospect, it makes complete democratic sense.

It reminds me of a Danish friend I have who has similar English phrases. It is a tiny bit off, but it is so endearing. Plus it is the simple way he puts an endeavor that must of us cannot do, like it is no big deal.

@@MJorgy5 Because, technically, he could just be commenting that part of the video as "I make a new one." That phrase by itself isn't broken, it's just that we all know he really means "I *will* make a new one" or "I'll"... It's almost what he meant, and it almost fits. That's why 'slightly.' It isn't technically correct, that's why 'broken...'

One suggestion on restoring wood. You can bleach it first to give it a uniform colour and remove any dark or stained areas, then give it a coat of oil to make it look nice again! Well done.

John C but, it still works, doesn’t it?

[@bbutc]

He could have greatly improved the cutting efficiency of the blade by adding a 45 degree cutting edge to each each tooth (alternating in direction left / right, tooth by tooth) and I was surprised he didn't given what else he did but the blade originally didn't have this so he just kept it as was, I guess.

[@brunowilimek2046]

He is a true craftsman. Not only does he restore the most decrepit articles, he makes them better than when they were new! Always a pleasure to watch.

[@michaelpettersson4919]

This often very true with restoration work. Especially when you see them file of edges that was there from the beginning. It wasn't worth the effort to do so during mass production but it is often done during restoration. Those that restore vehicles can often make them better then when they where new from the factory. As such if you see an airshow with WW2 vintage aircraft they may actually perform better then during the war.

[@elliottcooper6205]

I do not normally click the like button, but the craftsman, or craftswoman (it doesn't actually make any difference), restored the wood grip. I thought that the blade was done for and I was glad he saved it, that was neat. The wood handle was in rough shape, cracked, discolored, and worn out, but the original piece of wood was 100% restored. That shows commitment to the heritage of the piece. That earned my like.

Honestly, all he really had to do was clean it and put it back together, and install a new blade. I wouldn't have messed with the holes because they wouldn't have affected the operation, and hacksaw blades are expendable by design. It's a functional tool, so installing a modern blade is no sin.

[@ejvaz13]

How did I miss that!? Thank you so much, my life is complete now. corona take me away.

[@LTXwooshie]

I want to see my mechanics restore an old engine or something complex. It would be the best video on KZbin.

[@juliojimenez9794]

No, it would take too long. This is perfect time-quality ratio in my opinion.

[@LTXwooshie]

@@juliojimenez9794 Maybe make it a mini series? I still would like to see it.

[@michaelmontgomery5818]

"I make a new one!" I needed that during this troubling time.

[@HeIsTheHighlander]

Stable perfect quality. I know no person on youtube who makes like you. I 'll be happy to see on your videos time spent for making a single part like screw or restoring of wooden handle and total restoration time.

[@mymechanics]

Glad to hear that, thank you very much

[@jigurd]

He fixed the ventilation chamber button :D Also, I really like how the wood came out in this one! You usually use a dark stain but I think just linseed oil and wax brings out the color in the wood a lot better :)

[@SamzRodri]

My favorite part was when you welded on a piece of metal to take out the screw. I didn't know that was possible!

[@michaeldpry]

I never think of things like that. I would have beat on it for 2 hours trying to get that out of there.

[@kokoilie]

The screws that held the handle were old wood screws, that's why you didn't see threads in the metal part. But you made a modern solution to an old problem, which is nice. Also it looks like this hacksaw is so old that all the metal parts are made by casting without any or much machining, which explains the rough shape and surface finish.

[@pemtax557]

Love how the integrity of the original materials were maintained for authenticity. Beautiful work.

[@jryangiles]

I love watching your videos. There’s just something so satisfying about watching you take something most would consider junk and painstakingly restore it to a beautiful piece. Awesome work.

[@ChrisHanline]

Every time we get "I make a new one" my heart rejoices

[@justanotherlamanite]

This is the sort of art which truly inspires. Here is a masterpiece which causes me to say "How I would love to study and learn to create such beautiful and useful things!" Thank you for sharing your talent

[@UjangBoyor]

This channel never been dissapointed. Legit restoration and no scam for views. Its literally a real "restoration".

[@switchhit3774]

Whilst in lockdown, I’ve watched everyone of these videos. I am now certain he has every tool possible.... 🤣🤣 I did engineering for about 10 years and I could only dream of having a fraction of the skill this guy has. Thank you for making these videos.

[@smapa1185]

Engineering is engineering. This guy is more of a machinist and welder.

[@switchhit3774]

SMAPA To be fair, that is a more accurate description. For some reason I use all terms interchangeably, which is wrong. Thanks for pointing it out.

[@sedricksupreme]

After watching my mechanics, I'm no longer going to get my car painted. Instead, I'm going to sand it down to bare metal, and use 2 gallons of bluing fluid then clear coat. Voila!!

[@TheWinjin]

I actually wondered why they don't do it. But it says, for bluing of guns, that "Friction, as from holster wear, quickly removes cold bluing, and also removes hot bluing, rust, or fume bluing over long periods of use. It is usually inadvisable to use cold bluing as a touch-up where friction is present. If cold bluing is the only practical option, the area should be kept oiled to extend the life of the coating as much as possible." so probably this is why - bluing will be sandblasted by wind, basically. Which is a shame.

[@e.b.squared]

Sedrick Traylor Wait... would you really? I gotta see this lol

[@Alucard-gt1zf]

@@TheWinjin you can clear coat bluing to extend its life for years This is why your normal paint is also not sandblasted off your car

[@wodnyrak]

I love transitions like that one at 9:35 ish; blink and you’ll miss it

[@mltrymn1213]

Absolutely love your channel! Found you by accident whilst venturing down the KZbin rabbit hole one day at about 3am. I've seen other restoration channels, but I always find myself coming back to you. The editing of your videos is brilliant. The sound is great, the fact that you can make me laugh without speaking a word and the jump-cuts of you grinding the rivet heads was perfect. You have a special skill my friend! Your projects tend to turn antiques into "better than original" quality. It's like a work of art to be perfectly honest. Thank you for the countless hours of entertainment sir! Please don't stop doing what you do! I would love to see you tackle some electrical tools in the future.

[@АндрейНикитенко-ф4с]

We, the audience, love My mechanics for accuracy and perfectionism. Our soul rests in contemplation of perfection. But in this case, I will allow myself minor criticism. The lever on this saw is designed to QUICKly change the hacksaw blade without using other tools. For example, replacements with a hacksaw blade with smaller teeth. Therefore, you do not need to use screws in the holes of the hacksaw blade, there should be free pins with a hat. When tensioning the hacksaw blade, they are securely fixed. The lever axis is more reliably installed on a tight landing; spontaneous unwinding will not happen. At least there it was necessary to apply not grease to the thread, but a special glue to fix the thread. But it's nitpicking, your videos are beautiful.

[@ismaeellahrie9769]

You have a point there but I feel like he did that because he's intention is to restore it and keep it as one of his "artworks" instead of actually using Ya get me lad ◉‿◉

[@gurayyuce1404]

I love the way this guy uses his metal files. Makes me relax.

[@babaal78]

You should open a museum for all this hold/new treasure, to expose them next to small screens showing the restoration process in 5 min cut clip, i'm sure people will be happy to pay to visit.

[@bow-tiedengineer4453]

You should make spare blades with different sizes or styles of teeth, it's clear the blade was meant to be swapped/replaced. Love seeing you fix stuff, the world needs more people like you.

[@alecvip7562]

I wish I never discovered this channel. Now, any other restoration video just doesn't cut it now lmao.

[@cakeman58]

Agreed. Even without a human voice, his videos have more personality than any other restoration channel. I wish KZbin would stop feeding me other channels in my recommendations.

[@BrianBentsen]

Rescue & Restore has the same level of pedantic perfection, but that's the only one, my mechanics has ruined all my other restoration subs, they seem sloppy and half-arsed in comparison.

[@Dynamic_Viking]

TRUE! hand tool rescue (and the other ones) are a joke compared to this guy! everything my mecanics does is 110%!

[@wendyscat8180]

Dude, you’re an absolute BEAST at this stuff, literally factory grade work. The best there is out there, great stuff man I love your channel

[@SG-uh6sw]

❤

[@mikem2849]

He's WAY better than factory grade. Handmade is almost always better.

[@LetsTalk___]

This dude is just.. Amazing! Learned a lot of stuff from him, Keep it up my guy!

[@mymechanics]

Thanks, will do!

[@DustinPlatt]

I've been a fan of this channel for so long. You take the most broken, sad and broken things and make them beautiful again. I should send you my gf

[@mymechanics]

Thanks for watching

[@CAR56-s2h]

You have an incredible eye for detail. I’ve watched other restoration channels and by far you have the most detailed work.

[@jasoninnc1]

Coworker: “Damn, this blade broke” Coworker grabs another blade. Me: “Hold up. I know a guy”

[@dwest320]

In addition to all the amazing work I get to watch on this channel, I am reminded of the countless micrometer measurements and tooling setups that have to be done. It's amazing.

[@lobsterfork]

My heart skipped a beat when we got to the saw blade. I really wanted him to repair it. When the time came and he began examining, I felt a wave of relief when he decided to repair it.

[@saugghos]

Every single screw he makes is a work of art

[@herman-mekhaeil3511]

يصلح يهديه لشخص يحب المناشير هل عرفتوه ههههههههه

[@matthewsykes4814]

That is a really interesting design for a saw, the blade tensioning device is so simple. But that does mean having a standard blade length to fit the saw, great for makers of both parts as it's cheaper to have a one size fits all. I will admit I might have set the teeth but seeing it rip through that dead tree carcass like butter.... maybe not, hee Superb skills as always and I love seeing old stuff being brought back to life. Happy New Year to you from the UK, may you and your family have a great and happy one

[@barthanes1]

Yes, good to see you got a new switch cover for the blasting cabinet. I'm sure some trolls hounded you mercilessly since you first showed it.
