I'm always amazed when a "rusted part" looks beyond repair and it's actually just a few microns of surface damage from 109 years!!!

[@seantaggart7382]

Yeah Seriously rust is powerful but also Amazing how it can like "preserve" it which its not really that but it makes it so easy to clean because its JUST a layer

[@emanhamed4939]

he usually blasts most of the surface away and replates then scrapes it which makes it the same size as the original

These items are priceless because no one makes them anymore. It's a miracle that this toy survived at all. It could have been crushed or rusted away long ago. Your attention to detail is incredible. Thanks for saving pieces of history.

[@billshipley6320]

Dont forget .... it survived 2 World wars.... of which they required scrap metal drives constantly!

[@lorrainewilliams7896]

I like to think these toys survived because they were made to do just that. Craftsmanship has changed a lot over the past hundred years.

[@patrii9100]

The more I think about it the more nostalgic I get

[@creativeguy1138]

Unfortunately restoring something like this usually takes away it's value. I could be wrong, but leaving it as is is usually the way to go.

[@corpa8634]

@@creativeguy1138 There are some items like coins or watches that lose their value if restored (for instance polishing an old coin or removing all the scratches from an old watch) so you're not wrong

[@plauditecives]

So amazing to think of someone sitting in a factory in 1910 assembling a toy canon. And you're bringing that person's work back to life.

[@AKADEMIKparty]

pretty sure that person hated both his life and work

[@peteasmr2952]

I had the same thought pop into my head.

[@yepiratesworkshop7997]

That's why I love using my old woodworking and blacksmithing tools and restoring things that are often more than 100 years old. I don't know if anyone's ever noticed, but most old hand tools are more comfortable and easier to use than a lot of their newly-made counterparts.

[@yaxb1729]

@@AKADEMIKparty I think this was hand made in a toy shop. Not mass produced in a factory so there was some passion

[@TrxTr_Das]

Have you been there

[@S0K0N0MI]

Just a thought; but this might not be how the cannon originally functioned? I think how it used to work, was that the plunger would be cocked back all the way, then a ball, presumably rubber, would be inserted in the front with a snug fit, and then pushing the plunger forward would make the ball fly out with a satisfying 'POP'. That's why there was no spring in it, originally, I think.

[@Jester123ish]

Yes, same principle as a pop gun wihich used a cork.

[@diesel_dawg]

Something I was thinking about it was it should have been made so the barrel didn't drop down when the lever was released.

[@pintuvarma7695]

@@diesel_dawg my klkkol

[@MrVolksbeetle]

It’s a tragedy that this comment is so far down here. The spring is completely unnecessary. But to be sure, a stunning restoration all the same.

[@thevideogameempire]

Yeah, air pressure and the like. I do still like the spring addition though as it doesn't damage or change the other parts but still makes it easier to use with different types of balls.

[@orthodox-mp6hv]

Everyone is raving about the sandblasting but I really love your paints. The colours are so vibrant and watching them turn from a powder coat to a shiny metallic hue is really satisfying.

[@batcat9553]

That's right, dude

[@mikeabbott2396]

Yeah I love the powder coating. I think (for me at least) it's a combination of the method used and the satisfaction of knowing it's being done right (durability)

[@marypoping]

I guess he missed a few details in the painting could be more elaborated

[@davegsux]

it's like Technicolor in powder form

[@user-nd3lx1zg9t]

Powder coat is so far superior to acrylic and enamel paint.

[@AsAboveISoBelow]

I think someday they should do a full livestream of sandblasting work on one of their next rescues!

[@nigelft]

@@Isnogood12 There isn't sandblasting channels per-se, but there are a number of channels which repair/restore various items, such as badly corroded hand-tools, which does use fine-grain sandblasting to get to bare metal. But what is unique about this channel is that almost all others use spray paint to achieve the final finish. This is the only channel devoted to restoration I have so far found that uses electro-static powder deposit, then a curing oven, to 'bake' the paint on, which, given the temperatures involved, may well provided better adhesion of the paint to the metal. So not only would it be interesting to see a project being sandblasted, but a captioned video of how the whole process of the paint deposit work, as well as the temperature and time taken for the paint to fully cure, would be very informative, even for those whom are just slightly aware of the process. It may be a much longer video than normal, but subcribers like myself would still enjoy watching it ...
