[@chuckbickford120]

Your video is so clear it's almost like I'm looking over your shoulder

[@melherd4672]

Excellent restoration! Love seeing vintage items restored. Keep up the great work!

[@arturisusov5651]

good job. A useful thing has been resurrected and now it will bring many more benefits

[@duaneho555]

Nice job. Looks great 👍🏻

[@austinhawthorne8649]

Absolutely beautiful restoration my friend! I love these little trench shovels, always thought they look both cute and deadly.

[@CoastalCrafterUK]

New subbie here. This was beautifully restored. Love seeing all the steps! Thank you. X

I’ve seen you comment on a couple videos. I’m glad you’re enjoying my restoration projects.

[@shirleyannconfer9651]

According to the date you revealed, this thing is as old as I am. Very nice restoration.

[@Shaker73]

Wow great job you are amazing man

[@ahmedabdel-rahman5782]

Good job and well done I love all steps except painting I prefer to leave it in the original shape. 👏

[@arturoaaguilarperez1200]

THANKS. GOOD VIDEO.

[@Carnyx_1]

Functionally great job, aesthetically I hate it. But that's just my opinion. I think I'd have put some blue lock tight on that hinge bolt though.

[@KingBat]

Yeah I’ve got no clue why he decided to spray paint it. It’s not even army green to begin with.

[@tmntaddict]

While I agree not the greatest choice, I've seen worse colors on a restored army helmet.

[@Bren_louisiana_fisher]

I have this same exact shovel❤

[@RestorationAustralia]

Nice job well done.

[@RBG-tr9ce]

That shovel wasn't in bad shape to begin with, just muddy. You didn't do it any favors sanding it down and painting pieces of it black. You should have just finished the handle and painted it O.D.

[@davidclark4919]

i have the same exact shovel in the same shape, i agree with you 100%

[@BrothersRestorationIndustry]

Good job 👍🌹

[@smittyneew7829]

That is good to see and restore this shovel. Will you give back to your neighbor after restoring? Great from #OldToolRestorations 👍👍👍👍

just adding mud to a very good tool does not mean you need to wreck it, because you did

[@alexrestoration7013]

Excellent! Like New! By the way, a very functional tool!

I carry one of these in my truck vintage 1938. It’s identical except for the pick.

You very good.

[@motardsuper4034]

Always sad to see people trying to do too good to some fine historical items, cleaning was good (although quite abrasive) in the beginning, but then it just started to become destruction. Destruction of every thing this item is worth or meaning, now it is as good as any reproduction you can find on wish, and will most likely end up being worn by some overweight guy in a reconstitution. One golden rule of restoration should be trying to do the least amont of things that cannot be undone, especially at the moment the item you cleaned is mostly working as intended, which was the case for this shovel at the end of the cleaning, it could have been put together, and good to stay on some collector's shelf, but instead will most likely be stored in some storage, not worth much. It's just an opinion, but as we saw many paintings and work of art being damaged by what seemed at the time like the best restoration/preservation option, we can only show the humility to acknowledge that we cannot, and maybe should not try to erase the years passing, just do our best to make sure our successors will still be able to live next to it and so on.

[@williamcherry3262]

It’s an entrenching tool!

[@Carnyx_1]

Technically it's an intrenching tool, but like "war shovel" way better.

Legal amigo. Abraços do Brasil.

Sweet 👍🏻 👍🏻

...у меня недавно из гаража пропала такая-же!-, не твоих рук дело?!,- шутка!!!

Вполне достаточно было просто её вымыть.

Do u ever sell your renovation and if so where?

[@swedishcrowbar4211]

The market gardineer!

[@selfreliancestudent3644]

Mine is in the closed position & I can't do anything with it. Can't even get the threaded sleeve in the middle to turn. Any advice? Lol I know it's an old video.

[@oldmate3989]

would have ben easier to just clean the mud off it than pull it apart.

[@persioboni9373]

Muito bom gostei !

[@ettoredessi5470]

This was a beautiful restored, but why you don't use sand blasting? Good job anyway😍

[@danstewart6311]

6:17 I swear I could watch videos of freshly sanded wood get coated in linseed oil all day long (no homo) and would still want more LOL

[@CarsRestored]

Me: No way he can restore this L&R: Hold my beer

[@fafnir-fasolt]

Congratulations, you now have a new tool and made it historically worthless. Pièce de resistance is this dumb Phillips screw. These entrenching tools are extremely sturdy, just wash it, oil it and leave it as it is.

[@lucialima781]

How much would sell it for

[@waynereid3718]

It has a shovel and a picker on one stick

[@lukeolinger6000]

Your videos would be better if you stop covering your projects in mud before starting the restoration.

[@lukeolinger6000]

Why did you show removing the same part two separate times 15 seconds apart, 1:17 and 1:42. Why did you coat the handle in linseed oil and then paint it. What was the point? There may have been a reason behind it, just add a caption to show your thought process.

[@nemesis1291]

@@lukeolinger6000 you're that funny guy huh...

[@ciclon5682]

@@lukeolinger6000 the point is: he thinks it looks better that way. He doesnt have to explain every single thing to you, restoring its his hobby not his job if he wants he can paint it bright pink for all its worth and he doesnt owe you any explanation.

[@lukeolinger6000]

@@ciclon5682 no, the point is he made it look dirtier than it really was so it looks like he restored it from a worse condition. It's akin to a fake medicine man pulling out tumors from your abdomen. It doesn't have anything to do with his restoration hobby. I wasn't commenting on the final condition or paint job or whether he decides if the finished product needed to be pink. I was saying he's lying to his subscribers by adding dirt and fake corrosion at the starting point.

[@javertnator9881]

No sandblasting why?

[@flovicemoyou4352]

Yes, it is time to restore for your neighbor.

It’s not a army shovel it’s a entrenchment tool and it’s American.

[@SpitfiretheCat16]

As an American... it's a shovel.

[@biggieed949]

Theo, as a used to be USMC (1965-1969) it is a American military entrenching tool , or a e-tool as we called them , not a fricking shovel.
