I love the fact that he is using the tools he has restored in the past to restore new tools which he later on can use to restore tools that he might use in the future to restore other tools that might come in handy when he’s restoring some old tools.

I'm not sure about Switzerland, because the text is written in Russian. And then two options: 1. or it's a Russian guy who moved to Switzerland and now works there (if so did the right thing). 2.Or a guy who just knows Russian, but it is not (but then why make a headline video on Russian, not in his native language). That's why I'm leaning towards the first opion.

One trick I learned while making my PCBs is that you can use 10-15 grams of table salt and 20 grams of citric acid per 200ml of 3% Hydrogen peroxide solution as a safer and less obnoxious etching solution for copper, brass and bronze. Exact constitution may vary for you, but the price of the chemicals is very low, and the solution can be drained freely. Worth a try.

As a former fitter, this video really warmed my heart. I remember a time when I apprenticed as a fitter, the CNC workshop needed a calibration tool for the large CNC mill, and I was tasked with making it on the bench grinder. It didn't matter if it was 82, 81 or 80mm, it just needed to be exactly on the mm. I failed first time at 82mm, it was on 81.999 when measuring it, so I had to grind another .999mm off. Edit: This video reminded me about the micrometer (CE J 101, swedish model) I had hidden away in a closet because it was old and rusty (the condition I got it in). Might try to restore it... Edit 2: Now to find out how to calibrate it, it is off by about .6 of a µ. There is no obvious way to do it, and I have no idea how to separate the spindle from the gauge.

I am speechless after watching every one of your videos, but I think this one is on an entire new level! You keep pushing the boundaries of what is possible with restoration and it's amazing to watch. I am in the early stages of restoring my beloved 1994 Toyota Celica GT-Four at the moment, and it's a massive project not only because the previous owners didn't look after it properly, but also because I'm a perfectionist. Seeing you achieve such amazing results with these precise tools inspires me to strive for the same level of detail with my own project.

No man on Earth can match my man's restoration skills with his endless perfection in detail and always makes the oldest rusted and worn out things look better than they did brand new as well as performance wise..... a true master that is unmatched that I've ever seen. And regardless what it is if it has any slight imperfections , there's only four words to describe what's next...... I make new one

One night while trying to find something worth watching I came across the video of you restoring an ratchet to high polish and that was it for me. I watch your videos on the road, at home, and everywhere else i have a free minute. it takes a whole lot to keep my attention and keep me interested, But you have achieved that. You do excellent work and I commend you on what you do. thank you for posting these videos.
