Antique Wooden Wheelbarrow Restoration

[@SlimSeamus1]

I've watched literally hundreds of these restoration videos but this one is my favourite... I love the fact that you cared enough to salvage what you could by mating new wood with the old instead of just chucking the whole piece out and using completely new wood. Thanks again for sharing!!!!

[@jameslawrence8734]

I saw the state of it initially and thought to myself "measure the pattern off the old and remake. Salvage the metal where you can and replace the bent rods." I then watched and felt my way would have been wasteful where before I considered myself not wasting because of fixing "what could be fixed". Now I have to reevaluate my view of what could be fixed.

[@SlimSeamus1]

Just watched it again, still love it! Would love to see more stuff like this, redeeming old wooden tools and antiques etc... Keep up the great work!!!!

[@SlimSeamus1]

@@ladbrestoration Thanks for the heads up!!! 😊. Can't wait to see it!!!

[@qkohe155]

Cool, but if this wheelbarrow was to be used for normal work, the old wood and nails would not last long.

[@joannetiffany8047]

@@qkohe155 no as hes treated the wood and got rid of the parts that were ruined whilst keeping the wood that is just as good as new. All wood if not treated properly with rot but a true restore tries to reclaim everything from its previous life as possible to keep the age of the item. There are channels on KZbin that say there restoring an old object but make it look like it was bought off the shelf today which is wrong

[@gwolf500]

When I first spotted the wheelbarrow I wondered, "How much of the this thing could he possibly salvage?" The answer was a lot more than I thought possible. Thanks for the quality content.

[@noregrets7469]

I’m amazed by the quality of workmanship that has gone into this project and I’m happy to know it still out there in the world🌹

[@chrisevans8455]

The very best restoration I've seen. A bit of junk, rescued and turned into a real piece of art. Truly fabulous.

[@rkstew]

I would not call this a restoration. I think its a resurrection!!

[@coolmusic1579]

That wheel barrow just thought it's life was over, nope. Guy comes along and puts it back together, ready for another 50 years. 😄👍

[@ratzoy93]

After 8 minutes of this video i wanted to like it again. Some videos deserve more than just a like!

[@priusscientia]

Yes, you're right. I like this channel. No music, no talk, just crafting and tool sound. I really like this.

[@steveledbetter5613]

I love that every attempt to salvage the original pieces were made. Excellent. Most of these “ restoration” videos I’ve been watching seem to think that restoration means replace until it was better than new. Thank you for a great real restoration.

[@markharris5771]

I haven’t a clue how I missed this one, I thought I’d seen all your videos. I really hope you’re both do different generations so these phenomenal and varied skills are being passed on. You make using a drawknife look so simple I’m not sure whether to call you a craftsman or an artiste. A wonderful piece of countryside history saved.

[@longbow1965]

This was an amazing restoration. I hate seeing old things rot away when they could be reborn and last a few more life times. Excellent job sir!!!

[@gutsngorrrr]

That was a fantastic restoration, the fact that you were able to salvage as much as you did from the original cart was what I love to see in a proper restoration.

[@Zogg1281]

That is an AMAZING piece of work!! There are a LOT of people doing restoration on KZbin, but the rang of your skills is impressive. I like seeing how you use old and modern tools together and I think this video is a perfect example with the different techniques used on the wood. It was a really nice surprise to see that you wanted to save as much of the original wood as possible, I have seen people just save the metal work and replace all of the wood. I really liked how you went about saving as much of the original materials as possible. Keep up the good work 👍👍👍👍

[@Traderjoe]

Amazing! This is an actual restoration! I would have assumed that the old wood would have no structural stability left, but it shows that some parts are still useable.

[@bassnbluegill1406]

I see you a lot.

[@gucu]

This is briliant. I thought there is no way to salvage something as far gone. And you did it. Thank you - it was a brilliant bit of restoration.

[@trreb1]

Very well done. I have 3 old push cultivators here that we used when I was a kid in the 70's. I believe they were made in the late 50's to mid 60's. I was going to leave them as they are but after seeing your video I think I will give a try at restoring them as you have done with this cart.

[@markramsell454]

You've proved you are not just a metal machine person. Wow, was that barrow on its last wheel and you saved more wood than looked possible! Never knew the center bottom was a wedge either so I learned something. Keep up the excellent work.

[@desdicado999]

i was completely captivated by your attention to detail , the reusing of the hardware and just for the love of bringing something like that back to life there is a metaphor here I'm certain of that, thank you, and of course, what would the world be like without our feline friends to assist us

[@zaygezunt]

Always a pleasure to watch a master at work and it was great to see you keep as much of the original wood as possible. An inspirational restoration, thank you for sharing!

[@janebreen6555]

I love watching your videos over and over again. It is great to see the way you restore items and use them. Avril likes see if everything is in order and checks every so often. It’s great to see the old school of repairing of broken items 👏👌

[@macmac2767]

Great job on the complete rebuild. Using as much of the original material shows the quality and dedication of a true craftsman.

[@ianrandell9763]

No matter how many times I watch these videos, I never get sick of them. Cheers cobber.

[@darioobp]

Amazing! By far the best restauration video I've ever seen, the preservation of old wood, saving what can be saved is just to good. Keep up with good work, it is big joy to watch you're videos. God bless you.

[@AnaC7737]

Vovô era carpinteiro. Seus vídeos me fazem lembrar dele. Sinto o cheiro da madeira e ouço o barulho da plaina, das lixas, do formão entalhando essa madeira, quando era pequenininha. Sinto saudade do meu avô. Ele me chamava de Neguinha, com muito carinho. Hoje o dia está dolorido...

[@defender_of_wonder]

Exquisite and brilliant craftsmanship. I didn’t want the video to end!😢you gave life to this beautiful piece of work from yesteryear and made it all bright and happy 😊! You truly are a Master Craftsman! Avril gets a thumbs up 👍🏻 for being adorable!😺Thank you for sharing your beautiful videos! 👍🏻❤️😊

[@lass-inangeles7564]

Magnifique! Brought this ancient wheelbarrow back to life again, how wonderful! Maybe some oil on that dry, dry wood? I hear it crying for some Linseed oil! (Huile de Lin)

[@bonnie8441]

Excellent work.The French have a special touch when it comes to traditional restoration.

[@svipace8220]

If I were you, I would completely replace the woods. Then again, yours is a resurrection! Good job. Love the kitty.

[@29lookingood]

Wonderful. No AMAZING. I didn't think it would ever be usable again. Outstanding work, Sir.

[@Cmdtheartist]

I have nearly the same exact wheelbarrow. Mine was also a wreck, but I used it all the time because it was built to last. When it needed it, I replaced parts with plywood and random lumber. This video has inspired me to restore my wheelbarrow. I don't know if it will turn out as well as yours, but we'll see. Thanks for your video. Great!

[@sup2069]

Subbed, no intro, no talking and no exit. Straight to the point!

[@Lou_TSS]

[FR] Au début, au vu de l'état, je m'attendais à de la rétro-ingénieurie pour refaire les plans et la reconstruire de zéro, mais au final, c'est bien une restauration. Bravo ! [EN] At the beginning of the video, I was thinking, regarding to the damaged original wheelbarrow, at a retro-engeneering to rebuild it from scratch. But it was a real restoration. Great job.

[@OswestryGrey]

The cat is helping in a supervisory role as usual. I expect he also did the filming.

[@СтаниславКочуков]

Молодцы! Понравилось что сохранили максимум родного. Планирую восстановить подобную... Удачи!

[@dougalexander7204]

Outstanding restoration. And, just think of the folks who used this wheel barrow in the past. It helped them with their work while they made and raised their babies.

[@Соиегобригада]

Спасибо что дал этой вещи вторую жизнь. Лайк.

[@rdgcmg]

Thus is one the best restoration videos I have seen,. I also have watched hundreds . This gentleman has amazing skills.

[@farmerbob4554]

A beautiful old tool. You can just about picture the Carpenter 100 years ago walking to the job site with his tools in that wheelbarrow that he built. Excellent restoration.. I like how you saved as much of the original structure as possible.

[@markduncan6690]

What a lesson in restortation! A marriage of the old to the new! Very sympathetic- and in keeping!

[@badasscrafts]

One of the best restoration vids on KZbin 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@point0691]

A perfect restoration ... The restoration of a historical work should be done in this way. You must live in the history of the work. I must say that the master is very experienced in the use of old hand tools. I respect your hand calluses.

[@daniellegault4758]

You sir have a lot of talent! It's a joy to see you work!

I'd love to hear you speak a bit during the video about what your doing, thinking or any ideas you have during working on these projects. Have a great day sir.

[@gayle525]

I was impressed that you could get those nuts loose. You made history come back alive. Excellent job!

[@Ladybug-uf7uh]

You really know how to work wood, don't you? The old tools, the new tools. The old wood, the new wood. Really admire your work and skill. Thank you for the upload.

[@ronluckenbach9492]

Beautiful work, I love to see old wood and metal brought back to life. The wheelbarrow was more than a Basket Case , you did an excellent job of replacing the rotted pieces of wood with the minimum amount of non original wood to make it structurely sound and functional without compromising the integrity of the Barrow.

[@peterrowlands6406]

Yes,that is truly an excellent restoration job.well worth the time by an expert in his work.

[@brucemillar3015]

Wow! Nice job. My grandfather had a wheel barrow just like this one. It's such a great design.

[@ellisc.foleyjr9778]

Excellent job! your attention to detail, and originality is unmatched. I like few others posting. love the fact you salvaged as much of the original as possible and left it "El-natural" in color,appearance. and did not slap a coat of paint on it. I also agree it's good for another 50 yrs of gud service thanks to you and your craftman abilities. thanks for doing it and thanks for sharing.

[@diannetell6757]

Je vois des mains jeunes et des mains moins jeunes mais avec beaucoup d'experience. Je pense qu'il s'agit de père et fils. le plus jeune filme et certainement édite l'expertise de papa sur youtube. Deux competences qui se rejoignent pour faire un produit final très agréable à regarder. Les anciennes et les nouvelles technologies quoi de mieux. A voir le nombre de vues, vous avez intérêt à trouver des choses à rénover ou restaurer. Pensez par exemple à des anciens ustensiles agricoles, des charrues, des charrettes, portes de grange, mobilier de ferme, etc... Personne ne le fais sur youtube, juste une idée... Continuez avec peu de paroles et surtout pas de music. (bon pour audience cosmopolite) Trois mois et déjà plus de 2 500 000 de vues avec seulement 10 000 abonnés, chapeau bas mes SIRES. Vous êtes sur la bonne voie. Bravo les bonhommes.

Вот вряд ли бы реставрация удалась, если бы котик не помогал! ))) Отличная реставрация! Спасибо за чудесное видео!

Another surprise! Please, please, please tell me that you are passing your skills on to someone as passionate in his work as you are. The skills that you demonstrate are dying today and need to be brought back to life or they will be lost.

I love seeing people reuse old wood! A lot of what’s still solid after that long is just as good as today’s whitewoods. Salvaging wood is a beautiful way to respect a tool and the people that used it before you.

[@TizonaAmanthia]

I want to see more restorers recutting threads like you did in this video for at least one of the bolts. it always seems like a good idea, even if it's the same size, it just...cleans them up better than anything else I'd wager.

[@oneshotme]

[@AdrianNeptune]

C'est une merveille ton restauration, Tu lui as donné une nouvelle vie et beauté!

[@classydays43]

If you want a screw to be hidden, countersink it by a 1/2" or so and fill the countersunk hole with a bit of dowel or something. Works especially well if you're painting over it as it makes the screwed-down part of the wood seamless. In any case, you're a master craftsman 👍

[@danielhanawalt4998]

Nice restoration. I like that you actually reused much of the original wood. Using all new wood would have made it a rebuild instead of a restoration. I enjoy finding old wood and seeing how good it looks after removing some the surface. Reminds me of us humans when we get older, how we look on the outside but not so much on the inside.

[@danielnilant8779]

Finally a decent restoration! Beautiful work sir. Trez bon!

[@Joannesyoga]

J'aime bien le mélange de travaux avec le bois et le métal. J'ai aimé aussi la combinaison de bois vieux et nouveau. Les roues roses vont bien près du bois. Une vidéo qui montre vous en utilisant toutes vos objects de réstauration serait trés intéressante je crois. Merci monsieur et à Avril!
