Bottle Capper+NEW Sandblaster Reveal! And Sure, We Even Restore The 100 Year Old Cotter Pin!

Welcome! Or welcome back! This Is a project I have always wanted to tackle. There is something very cool about a antique bottle capper that speaks to me. While doing some research I came across the fact that bottle cappers become popular during Prohibition (for those of you not from America, that was when alcohol was banned in America during the 1920's) As always, I'd love to hear your input. Did I get it right? How about the color? Was the intro too experimental? Your comments help me shape the content, so thanks! And most importantly....Thanks For Watching!
Note: I am trying out (again) not including a spoiler image in the thumbnail. We'll see how that goes.

Wow, I'd never thought I'd find a pro as good as My Mechanics, but there you are! Loved this project, your attention to details, the humor - and your assistant. Looking forward to seeing more!

[@MrBee-lf4ym]

I liked the intro, humour, editing ....and of course your work.

[@davidroberts3692]

Just watched the bottle cap installer restoration, beautiful work. But the one that blew me away was the restoration of the surveyor instrument. I worked in construction for 37 years before retiring 9 years ago and i NEVER saw an instrument that beautiful! A true work of art. Thank you for your hard work and videos.

[@kotaless]

This channel has become my favorite restoration channel. Awesome work like always.

[@raywood8187]

I love the entertainment parts and you restored this to better condition than it was made, fixing the casting defects and making it a functional work of art. I am a kid of the 60's the days of fishing a bottle of Coke or Pepsi or maybe Dad's root beer out of a big red Coca Cola ice chest on a small country store's front porch and then using the pry off bottlecap opener on the chest to pop the cap. As a little kid, I was so proud that I could do it myself! I love simple inventions like bottle cappers and openers related to that era and earlier.

[@roseblite6449]

Lovely work. An yeah, sand blasters are cool. I don't have one myself, yet, but I have run them in a shop I used to work at. Makes it so much easier to clean rust and paint off of tools. I'm just about done restoring a 20 some odd year old True Temper wheelbarrow, some painting then put it back together. That's the 3rd one I've done, first two were maybe 10 years old. My next project is either a 70 to 80 yr old garden wheelbarrow, or a garden rake that was welded to other metal to produce a pull behind landscape rake. I think my great uncle did that for my grandmother or great aunt about 50 or 60 years ago. I know that lawnmower rake attachment has been floating around the yard since I was a little child, at least since I was 3 (I'm 51 now). I have to thank restorers like you for giving me the confidence to restore tools around my place, which the property has been in the family for about 200 years. Heck, the house I am living in is over 100 years old.

[@KILORESTORATION]

Good luck on your restoration, Rose Blite, they sound interesting….especially that 80 year old wheelbarrow!

[@erikthewonderdog6522]

2c? SOLD! Fantastic restoration. Love your sense of humour too. Great job.

[@AlexanderElse]

I love the humour you add to your videos. It's always unexpected and brilliant. Please keep at it.

[@ratroddiesels1981]

we enjoyed the restoration of this bottle capper , it was pure entertainment to watch you make it brand new again. thanks for sharing.

[@TheShaunReid]

Your sense of humor and wit are brilliant sir, keep up the good work! It is excellent to witness a craftsman’s work.

[@adamweilergurarye5422]

Beautiful! Both the restoration and the movie! Awesome cat.

[@vijaynaik7739]

Sir, Your restoration is so perfect, clean, precise and neat, I repeatedly watch your restorations. It's really entertaining watching your videos. Hope to see more and more.

[@sierrachanelcook574]

How refreshing to be able to laugh out loud multiple times during a restoration video. I need more!!!!

[@markmayo2700]

Excellent. Nice job. Worth the wait. The sand blaster is a beaut. Congratulations!

[@teacheme]

Love your filming style. Well edited, full of the details we all want to know about (at least I do) and with a good touch of humour. Your polishing technique is incredible, I'm so envious. Would that be 2 cents plus $100 for postage to the UK?

[@frog8220]

That sandblaster had a nice intro! And damn the frosted glass looks so precise!

[@MrVagabonding1]

Mate your humor is phenomenal! The quality of the restorations is impeccable and the camera work is outstanding! I've started watching from earlier in the morning and can't stop! Keep doing what you doing you're nailing it!!

[@coopwerks]

Antique cotter pin... restored! Looking forward to the paint booth level up. :)

[@theoneandonlyowl3764]

Beautiful work, filming and commenting too. Congrats on the sand blaster, every bloke's shed should have one... we wish. I've got an old capper sitting in storage somewhere, different design, but similar age. Maybe I'll see it again one day... I hope.

[@elmarlang1856]

A really outstanding restoration of this 100 year old bottle capper. I think it's great, especially in this intro, how you incorporate this subtle humor into your projects. The quality of your restoration work and your film recordings are, as always, at the highest level. Excellent work. I'm looking forward to see more like that!

[@dwest320]

Congratulations on your media blaster. She's a beauty.

[@e-zee8298]

Yes!!! You finally got a sand blaster! Good for you man it is deserved

[@Waynesbusinesschanne]

I very much appreciate that you did not put a spoiler image in the intro or in the thumbnail. I really really prefer being surprised at the end at what it looks like. It's always disappointing when I already see the ending before I watched the beginning! This was a great video. I have been waiting for your next one and so glad to see this! Can't wait for your next 1 now :)

[@futureboeingcpt]

I didn’t think waking up to watch the restoration of a 100 year old bottle capper was going to be the exciting end to my week I envisioned when I was younger but here we are. So excited about the sand blaster! I don’t even do this kind of stuff and I want one. Just cause. Stuff?!?

[@yt4krist0f]

Very nice job...! I specially love how the polished metal parts came out, really nice and goes very well with the gray paint. Well done!

[@jl3390]

Plot twist, he uses each brush to clean the other brushes! :-)) Just discovered your channel 2 videos ago and I'm hooked! Wonderfully humorous, masterful workmanship, beautiful editing. Well done sir!

[@graemesim40]

Excellent restoration, truly awesome 👍👏😄

[@blairmarchand7572]

Very well done! As soon as I saw the piece at the start the first thing I thought was 'damn that's going to look great!' Not disappointed to say the least

[@itsjustme.2331]

What I liked the most is your sense of humor, sometimes it's hard to be funny and look good doing it. As a side note alcohol was never banned in America, you could drink all you wanted anytime you wanted but what was banned was the sale, manufacture, and transportation, so if I went over to a friend's house who had a case or 60 we could drink all we wanted and if we wanted to give a few cases away and they wanted to help us pay for our house so be it.

[@user-ne2tb1vs9m]

As everyone else has said great video, I like the humor, the beginning, The Maple Leaf Rag, What a feline hair!!!!, saving the cotter pin- yes of course. Also I like the equipment list and links. thank you

[@vivekshenoy84]

Very well done . The finish of the restoration is a testament to your experience and skill. Pls continue to uploading these and maybe do some tutorials on why some of the specific products were used

[@daddyfrost42]

Oh my god, I love your style! Perfect skills combined with your artistic direction and marvelous editing. Nice to meet you, sir! Warm greetings from Moscow!

[@garyjones2582]

Very nice work Kilo.. if anyone backs out of the deal for 2 cents.. I'm good for it.. Keep up the great work and we'll keep watching...

[@РобертХайруллин-х4ы]

Congratulations on with the acquisition of sandblasting

[@ModernPrimate]

Fantastic as always. Plus kitty!

[@munched55]

Thanx for the chuckles. I really needed that... :)

[@tungsten_carbide]

I've watched many of your vids before but the humour in this one made me subscribe! And needless to say top-notch restoration work as always.

[@churlepatakha]

The work is extraordinary, intricately done with extreme labor. hard work pays!

[@chrisspittles]

Best intro to a restoration video ever.

[@vinceianni4026]

Hello mister beautiful restoration professionally restored well done

[@edgarlopez7141]

I like all the effort you put on everything, from detailing the parts to editing the video, you are doing great man, congrats on the upgrade, is always nice to see sand blasting

[@WesW3187]

Great job. Perfect! The old guys who made it would be proud.

[@jzrgrmm]

Man, I hope you only achieve more and more tools, since you sure put them to good use. There are many very talented people here in KZbin doing restorations, and you sure are among the top. ❤️

[@badstate]

Well done. I may have found a new favorite resto channel.

[@jeffmoore78]

Video was great. Editing, humor, and work are on point.

[@stegosteg5247]

The editing is out of this universe, fantastic work

[@DanielMores]

I just saw the amazing intro and pressed like. Now watching the actual restoration, ha :-P

[@RetrologyChannel]

Congrats on the new toy and keep the awesome work! :)

[@dixonqwerty]

Hahaha your humor is awesome, I really laughed at the blasting cabinet sequence lol

[@BusWithUs.]

Another Supreme quality restoring & video edit! Thank you enjoyed that very much.

[@TheVwgolfmk1]

Brilliant video as ever, you do realise that now you have a sandblasting cabinet the next expensive item you need is a powder coating oven and spray equipment. Till then the excellent quality of your work will suffice lol. Keep em coming buddy.

[@CanadairCL44]

Great job and your sense of humour earned you another subscriber!

[@mftmachining]

Absolutely excellent video and restoration....a piece of art. TOP.

[@guyantonelli5411]

I really enjoy your video's, I learn and am entertained at the same time, a real gift !

[@timtom9450]

Nice upgrade to the media blaster 👍🙂

[@bradleycailor6325]

Enjoying the comedy, that will set you apart from the "other mechanics" guy. Great content.

[@rainingmen234]

Congratulations on the new blasting cabinet!! Also hope to see videos more frequently from you big guy

[@Social_Grenade]

Love these, great video. And for 2 cents I’ll take it! Just need to get a brewing kit and make my own beer too

[@petergrunendahl2074]

What a brilliant result!!! I wish I have your passions. Regards from Belgium

[@KILORESTORATION]

Greetings from America, Peter!

[@kameljoe21]

Dude that is super awesome. I really like the entire video. Couple improvement.. Text make sure to color it right and make it stay up a while longer. Sometimes people do not always catch it and they miss it. I think that was it. I think it came out really nice. Maybe you could have added some scroll work and highlighted the name. Though it was super awesome. i really like the new sand blaster it will be fun to see what other things you take it for a ride with. Like I have said before this is one of the better restoration channels where you take something that you would not think would ever be restored and turn it in to a work of art.

[@jjgrowjjeffries]

Best restoration channel!

[@IrishLion-re8bu]

Fantastic job brother!!!! 😀🇺🇸💙 I F-ing love this channel, MUSEUM QUALITY.

[@JACK-wh6jl]

AWESOME PRODUCTION ! BRAVO !! FOL-PROOF !! GETTER-DONE ( THE RIGHT WAY !💥😬 )

[@TheInfiniteEnd]

My Dude. You are one of the best. Need more!

[@jennv.s.o.p1603]

Everything about this is Fantastic!

[@davidcarvalho8067]

What a pleasure to see your videos. Greetings from Belgium

[@lordieshepherd]

Massively undervalued. Amazing job. I’ll have to go on the hunt for one for my mini brewery now.

[@edwinolio]

Dude, you're so great at what you do. Keep it up!

[@mostlymotorcycles.]

Nice upgrade with the sand blaster.

[@benwilfong514]

Can't wait to see what you do with the media blaster!

[@cbadnc9040]

I was cracking up the entire time!!! Nice job!!!

[@joshthecomputertech]

The blasting cabinet bit killed me! 😂😂😂

[@footnotedrummer]

Thanks for leveling up. I felt bad for you having to hand sand all of the previous restorations.

[@hattestofmads]

Beautiful restoration!

[@bobwilliamson5574]

Kilo restoration, marvelous finish on the steel work

[@pw310784]

Another great Video :) I liked the short romantic sequence xD Congrats to your new sandblastingmachine. Now you need a welding machine, to fill up those little spots. Greetings from germany

[@KILORESTORATION]

Greetings from America, Das_Plusch!

[@rdm20fan1]

Beautiful work. Outstanding. If I can add my opinion, and it's only my opinion! You do such a nice job with all the polishing, if you used a color of paint that was more of a contrast, it would really make all that work POP. Just my opinion,. Love the videos.

[@pascaljeske7307]

Very good Job and nice Video ❤️👍👍

[@Juangupu]

Hi Kilo... congratulations for your new sandblasting...I wonder if you are sandblasting everything right now...hahahaha. Many thanks for you videos!

[@rabk5702]

Clapp Clapp Clapp well done on the blasting machine brilliant posting big thumbs up :-)

[@JahangirKhan-zt2nv]

love the humor .... amazing res...

[@Renassainceman]

I have the same blasting cabinet, and the same visibility issue. Replace the soft plexiglass window with glass. I may cost more, but it lasts significantly longer, so it's really worth it.

[@JoshuaQuezoopoo]

I have several of these in a barn I’ll get to eventually

[@kelsenellenelvianeverdawn1946]

Great sandblaster!

[@henrysboy2]

Wonderful video. Thank you.

[@kirkyd123]

Wow! Very nice work.

[@kahutochishisumi9056]

Can't wait to see what you can do with a lathe and mill. Loving your work, from Nagaland, India.

[@MarkHahn]

First time watching and I enjoyed every second. Loved the content and the style. Nice work! That turned out amazing 👏

[@craigbryant261]

Great work as ever!

[@jozsefizsak]

Splendid job.

[@ItsRufusMaximus]

So happy when you posted a new video!!!

[@PearsonHurst]

Great video and lovely result. Maybe you just didn't show it, but on stuff that old you should always test for lead paint before you start blasting. Lead paint should always be removed with a chemical stripper instead of abrasives so you don't run the risk of breathing it in.

[@OFFICER.1]

high quality job 👍🏼

[@motorbikemadness5773]

Great job!!!

[@joaopaulobonifacio2923]

Great work man, looking foward for more content!

Still the best Channel on KZbin and it's not even close

[@poohssmartbrother1146]

I love your humor!!! this is by far and away my favorite resto channel. Where did you get that belt sander bench grinder attachment? thats dope. If you ever need Electrical work done, I would be honored to help
