    It's nice that you added the info about cost and time at the end. People, myself included, often underestimate the effort that goes into these restaurations. Great work!

      I was the one who suggested this a couple videos back and you replied saying you'd try it out and I'm happy to see it! Honestly the materials cost all in was less than I expected. And it makes me appreciate your content even more knowing it took 3 weeks for us to enjoy 15 minutes of viewing. Thanks for another fun project, excited as always to see what's on your table next!

    Nice vid and a perfect restoration. BUT... The green-yellow ground connection is a very bad joke.
    Soldering on paint can't work and soldering on steel is difficult. Just crimp an connector on the cable an fix it with a screw. 😊 Greetings

    This was a great restoration. The only thing that I would suggest doing differently is to make a recess for the fuse and speed switch so that this could sit or hang flat against a wall.
    Also that is a very sweet little spot welder you have. Now to print yourself some non conductive tongs to hold the piece you are welding.

    I am surprised by how much it cost only because the restoration project looked so good I thought man this must sell for a lot so it's probably expensive to restore and I wasn't far off I guessed 300 bucks to restore maybe it's like a 500 dollar or more sign 🙂 very beautiful end result though, I am like I would love one of these but I am sure it's far out of my budget ha ha it's stunning :) I am working on building a solarium for my mom and my niece who love to garden and was thinking of making a cafe and all that and this sign would just be so cool to use.

  • @paulh6591
    @paulh6591 Před 3 měsíci

    Thoughtful and innovative melding of old and new technologies, and original and repro parts. Better than when new, and the heart of the old is still there. sometimes it's neat to lave a patch with original paint and patina.

    Was this previously owned by the King of France? How is it possible this was listed for $80?? lol It seems overvalued at $8 in its original condition. Amazing restoration, as always. The inclusion of costs at the end is a real winner. Especially when you consider people might come back to watch this 50 years from now. :)

    12:05 Dont tin the wire and then crimp it.
    You get better and longer lasting connection without the soldering tin.
    The tinning just makes it more brittle and likely to break.

    It's nice that you upgraded some components especially the built in electronics and bulbs with latest LED technology. I am interested to watch restoration videos, not only restoring the item but upgrading too to the current technology. Furthermore I also enjoyed watching recreating lost or damaged parts. I'm glad you included the 3D printing sessions in your video. Great job! Do the same thing to your future videos.
