If only modern tools were made with the same care as the tools of the past.

[@garymucher9590]

Nice! A little helpful hint. Whenever you are turning in nicely polished screws like that, ALWAYS use a perfectly fitted screwdriver blade that fits the screw slot perfectly. Then you don't mar or deform the screw heads again. And to verify you have a true level vial set properly, once you get it centered, turn the level end for end and the bubble should remain in the exact same place. Thumbs Up!

[@cmdrglass5096]

Hi there when you did the gluing of the crack in the wood one of the things I do is use some of the wood dust from when you were sanding it and mix it with the glue then use it . It will match the wood color so much better

[@patricianorton3908]

More like this, please. Simple tools, essentially all hand done up to the final brass polish. Excellent! A real pleasure to watch. I was surprised to see that the date was not die stamped into the wood, but only inked on.😟

[@ferraridinoman]

Nice restoration. Shame you lost the "1943" stamp on the side

[@user-dx6pt9oo6h]

Very good restoration Spirit Level 👍👍👍

Fantastic job thanks for sharing looks great 🍺🍺👍👍👍👍👍

[@pebblesthecat3625]

Here's a tip for you for the next time you need to get glue into a tight space - like the crack you sealed on this project. Instead of trying to poke the glue into a space, use a syringe and a heavier gauge needle. Suck the glue into the syringe, attach the needle, then poke the needle as far down into the space as you can. Press the plunger and the glue is injected exactly where it needs to be. Clamp as usual and hey presto - a secure, sealed wooden joint or veneer that's reattached to perfection.

Amazing restore

[@DonnaMSchmid]

Gorgeous!

[@sherylgardner6413]

Beautiful

[@geoffquickfall]

Well done, May I suggest that you try fitting the screw driver blade to match the width and thickness of the slot of the screw. This will prevent the bruising of the slots on the screws. Might mean you need to by more slotted screw drivers ;-) Again, nice job!

[@joaquimqueiroz2656]

parabens.. lindo trabalho, até as fendas dos parafusos ficaram alinhadas...

[@liveoak4124]

Beautful piece of work, but a shame you lost most of the "Warranted Correct" stamp from the brass as well as the 1943 from the wood. The level could have been restored to your high standards of beauty and functionality without being subjected to so much unnecessary sanding.

[@CreatorCade]

Yeah I felt that he had went a little far on the sanding as I watched the stamping on the brass fade-away. As for the date on the wood it can be put back with a good pen.

[@Idunthevalkyrie]

Schön gemacht cheers

[@magnoalvinegro]

Good job!

[@Mike-vn7ys]

This is not a spirit level, this a nice level. A spirit level contains an alcohol filled glass tube which is highly precise. Normal levels are okay but if you have used a spirit level you will know the difference. Nice job though.

[@tonyjames327]

Mike and it’s not level.

[@lailafo2009]

I'm loving your videos!

[@billschipper1718]

Looks great. I was wondering where you were going to get the tube with the bubble.

[@giuseppecolombo4701]

ottimo restauro complimenti

[@IR-nq4qv]

beautiful job, nice piece. I'd lose the pan head screws and put back the slotted flat top brass screws that came with it originally. Polished tops would give it a better look

[@glennmoreland6457]

It's just a touch out is that... I'd have fixed the brass pads before bedding in the vial on that putty... And would've used a known level surface... Looks nice though...🇬🇧👍

[@DaleDix]

Just seemed like he was excited to put the bubble in when he got it.

[@wadewells808]

Museum quality restoration. Such a pleasure watching a true craftsman.

[@wizzzjer]

Not even close to museum quality.

class work

[@j.zingler6735]

Ah, das war wunderschön anzuschauen! :)

[@MWRestoration]

Dankeschön 😁

[@MrRlitcher]

Very fine restoration. Why are the screws on the top not mounted flush in the countersunk holes? Is this likely how the original screws were? Fantastic!

Awesome, that don't make that stand the test of time.

How do you like those Wera screwdrivers?

[@rumplespliffskin]

I've got like 20 of these. One thing I can't understand is how the he'll they can be missing so many screws

[@michaelmayer106]

Flat head screws on the top would have been better than domed screws.

[@5000go2]

Not so fast man, it might explode.

[@tailsdollblack9340]

could try your hand at restoring something military ?

[@TukikoTroy]

Seriously? You sanded off the date stamp?! Well, there goes any historical significance right there.
