Sensational job of the old toolbox! Hope it will serve for many more years.

[@fadetoblond]

I absolutely love this, especially with that handle, nevermind the other guy's comment about it. My husband actually has this exact toolbox but he's treated it very well and has never left it in the rain, so it's in great shape, minus several dents in it though. lol - fantastic job. I love unique features on restorations. 👍

[@chriswenkle2635]

How can you not love a restored toolbox with a custom handle made from a wrench! Brilliant!

[@DrRestoration]

Thanks Chris!

[@Sedelory]

A wonderful tribute to my late great grandfather, William the first, as he used this when he did his job as an early electrician. I just wish my dad (William III) were still here to do these projects with you. I'm in love with the turn out and appreciative of my help in choosing how the restoration turned out! XO

[@DrRestoration]

Thanks for the opportunity to keep this box in the family for years to come Mrs. Restoration! 😊💙

Wait what

[@muhsanbashir4967]

Nice job looks great like the spanner handle love it

[@DrRestoration]

Thanks 👍

[@shermanmace3773]

THE PERSON WHO MADE THAT TOOLBOX WOULD FEEL PROUD OF THE RESTORATION YOU DID.

[@NoQuarter01]

Watching sand blasting provides me immense satisfaction…..

[@harley1969chuco]

wow amazing

[@across5805]

FANtastic job. Thanks x 10 for sharing your passion & skills. Love your creativity with regards to the handle,....nice, very nice!

[@stingrayriganetti1279]

You went above and beyond...love the way you remained calm

[@kenday7942]

Excellent job on a very good presentation. I really like the innovative idea of using a twisted up wrench for a handle. Outstanding!

[@DrRestoration]

Thank you 😄

[@danaowen9014]

Looks so much better than new. Like the new handle.

[@DrRestoration]

Thank you! 👍

Handle was a nice touch, thanks for sharing. Be safe and be lucky.

[@DrRestoration]

Thanks you too!

[@KhanLala-wl7le]

nice to see your development

[@insanityisorange8659]

Just discovered your channel. Literally the amount of these boxes you see in car boots and jumble sales for a couple of pennies in the UK! Man you could make a fortune!!! Love the handle BTW!

[@amysbees6686]

Awesome! I can't tell you how many "befores" I see in antiques shops!

[@tristanbarnett6271]

Great job man you turn an old rusted toolbox that most people would throw away and brought it back to life awesome job

[@torbjornnilsson5057]

Nice and calm.No stressful music! Nice filming!Looking forward to see more of your clips!

[@DrRestoration]

Thanks! 🙂

[@branned]

Amazing👍👍

[@robinhoff4598]

I’ve 4 rusty dented boxes similar to yours. Loved the video, great ideas, great technique. Got to find someone with a blast cabinet and away I go. Let’s see more restorations. Great video. Thanks

[@MASI_forging]

Great work dude. It looks real good after renovation. 😁😁

[@StealthDonut1]

Beautiful restoration! I was worried about the wrench handle at first, but it really came out wonderful. You've got a like and a subscription from me out of this restore!

[@DrRestoration]

Thank you!

[@GadgetUK164]

Epic =D

[@saintgeorge6706]

in 1980 I took a course in sheet metal work. I made a toolbox which I still have and use to this day.

[@ThomasBurns]

Awesome video! Keep them coming!

[@ianwalsh6699]

Super idea for the handle

[@DrRestoration]

Thanks bro! 🙂👍

[@ZERODESTRUCTION]

A lot of those old toolboxes were made by students in shop class long ago. I have an anvil that my uncle made in 1939!

[@DrRestoration]

@@ZERODESTRUCTION that’s amazing!

[@jalechavez6042]

Jaaaaaaaa....Genial tú Restauración...Muy Bien...!!...Saludosss my Friend...!!!!

[@jamesmoe9188]

Hello again! Congratulations on the new equipment. This turned out decent in the end. The powder coating looks like it turned out well. While it was sad to see the original hardware go, it was incredibly pitted, and would have possibly failed fairly soon. I also suspect that those d-rings may not have been original to the box. For constructive feedback, work on paying attention to the smaller details to take your projects to the next level. For example, when using pop rivets, they should all be installed from the same side, preferably the exterior, for aesthetic reasons. Backing washers can be used to reinforce the interior side, if needed. Any excess shank can be filed or ground down for extra clearance, if necessary. You definitely have talent, and good instincts. I will enjoy watching you progress, and hope my feedback is useful to you. Thank you for sharing your craft with us.

[@DrRestoration]

Hey James, thanks I didn’t think to use a washer at the time! The holes were too big and a washer would have allowed me to put the rivets in the same way. I’ll have to go fix that! Thanks again for the advise!

[@aoquanghuy7641]

How about paint color Purple x pink for aesthetic

[@billgeorge1142]

Excellent job very impressed loved the idea for handle.

[@KatherineUribe-1]

I love the new handle!👍🏼

[@bandidodelcaminodiecast]

Very cool 👍🏁

[@tonoalvarado1436]

¡Estupendo trabajo!

[@diyresttube]

im pretty sure that this better than its original look...good video restoration.

[@DrRestoration]

Thank you DiY!

[@FXDXT01]

My Pawpaw have me a tool box just like that! Still got it! Man does this restoration being back memories. TY for the video!

[@DrRestoration]

💙

[@colinfblair]

Great job like that you painted the inside not often showed

[@DrRestoration]

I wanted to contrast the inside with black, I love how it came out. 🙂

[@JuciF]

Great job, very nice work on this toolbox. I really liked your techniques, but really prefer regular painting rather than powder, in this case I'd use filler, sanded, than primer, wet sanded and final coating. This would give you a very, very nice surface. Powder coat is very nice when you don't have souch pitch on your surface, so the final quality is assured only with one coating.

[@DrRestoration]

Yes I agree, I really wanted to try out powder coating! Live and learn 😜, thanks again!

[@JuciF]

@@DrRestoration 😂 in our case live and watch.. I love this kind of content, so will keep watching your great works.. 👊

[@rong-man1502]

Besides, not everyone has powder coating equipment, and since I don’t do this type of thing on any sort of a regular basis I’d be hard pressed to justify buying it.

[@donaldbarrett2267]

I found a tool box very similar to this one I plan to restore it like this one. I just need to find someone to sand blast it and then powder coat it, I think I'm gonna go old school and sand it , then paint it. Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed it. i

[@DrRestoration]

Hi Donald glad you enjoyed it! 🙂

[@GT_Racer347]

Great video. Great ASMR. Beautiful tool box result!

[@DrRestoration]

Thanks GT! 🙂👍

[@MrYaucano1970]

Not crazy about the handle. Almost looks bigger than the box. Lol. All in all, satisfying video. Thanks.

[@franceshallen2478]

You just appeared in my feed. great job(says me!! a senior lady who has never done anything like this). I just love the handle. Now I have to go & watch the rest of your videos.

[@DrRestoration]

Thanks so much Frances!

Very well bro nice restoration 👏🏻👏🏻

[@kenhart6330]

Great job I used to powder coat for Black and Decker many moons ago they had a line where we could have up to eight colours being painted. I used to hand paint the underside of the workmates they built. I like to watch it being done. I was also an agricultural fitter before that so this project reminds me of the two jobs I worked at right from being a fifteen year old apprentice. Until I had an accident at work. Keep up the good work. 👍👍👍👍👍 From the UK 🇬🇧

[@DrRestoration]

That’s awesome Ken! Thank you for the kind words, I’m sure you could teach me a thing or 2 😂, but I’m enjoying every minute of this journey and I can only get better!

[@derrickcordick1315]

That is awso e love the handle well done

[@DrRestoration]

Thanks man!

[@eatwhatukiii2532]

Very nice! This inspires me to resurrect all the rusty toolboxes I inherited.

Yes I love new toys.... uh I mean tools! 😬

Nice job, but surely isn't creative at all. Same editing style as thirty other restoration channels.

One of the best tool box restoration videos I’ve seen. 👍🏼

Best metal toolbox restoration yet!

Really liked the handle Almost like a steam punk toolbox

Thanks!

[@leomarmagnaye8785]

Tool handle for the restored toolbox it's nice and amazing

[@restorecreate]

Nice job,and very smart idea for the handle,well done.

[@DrRestoration]

I appreciate it!

[@kjamison5951]

Fair job. With practice, your work will improve. Prep for painting is crucial. The finish coat is determined by the primer coats, with rub downs in between. Consider using an epoxy filler with metal content to help with the powder coating or use a rattle can with build up.

[@DrRestoration]

Thank you I am always learning 🙂 love the suggestions !

[@tonyday7233]

Very nice job, love the handle, i have a similar, but smaller toolbox to do up, no tray, will have to make one, thankyou.

[@DrRestoration]

Thank you Tony! 🙂

I see you got some new toys 🤩👍👍👩‍🔧

Yes I did! 🙂

Thank you Gary 🙂

[@RatsnRods]

Great idea for the handle! I’ll try my hand at that tomorra I think, I got an old rusty Coleman stove that needs a handle!

[@ITWorksSoftware]

Great job! Like that handle, too. I have an oldtoolbox like it. Wish I had all the fancy shmancy tools to do the same.

[@Flatout56-o8k]

I literally look for channels that powder coat instead of paint! It, insures that it’s not just for looks, it’s for use

[@GettingNervous]

But all these old tool boxes were originally painted.

[@canceresbunny]

What's the difference? More resistance to dents? 🤔

[@petejung3122]

@@canceresbunny it's just better coating, more resistant for wear and rust. That's why it's applied as standard in the industry. But I have to admit, I found the old look much nicer, before the restoration I mean. That patina was just gorgeous.

[@eniggu]

Great video. Just I don’t like the new rivets. Why not use solid rivets like the original ones?

[@DrRestoration]

It’s what I had at the time, I agree could be better

[@mikeadams2677]

What is the technical name for the rivets you took out? I need to buy some replacements. Thanks

You could try powder coating primer, there is one that fills holes and such for a smoother finish

What a job ! Red is extremely beautifull too, congratulations !

this is not a restoration, but just a second life of an old object!

[@DrRestoration]

Some would say a modification I suppose! 🙂

[@CoolRestorations]

Awesome handle you made!!!! Alot of work on this project!!!👍🏻

[@DrRestoration]

Thanks! A lot of learning too! 😬

[@henrybarney]

Great job on the handle, why did you put the rivets on the latches different from the lock?

[@DrRestoration]

The holes on the lid were too big, but I have since figured out I can use washers on the inside to make it work. 🙂
