Thank you

He set the pencil shavings aside like “ I’ll restore this pencil later”.
Me maby will
@@bjorn55531 A pencil lead for a mechanical drafting pencil (they're about the same diameter as what's found in most wood pencils I think), some Epoxy Resin and one HELL of a lot of luck and he very well could do a pencil restoration video...
That's one video I'd LOVE to watch...
(Hint, Hint, Hint)...
That’s hilarious haha
Best comment ever 🤣
😂
All the items we've seen him do with the blue or green Hammerite paint. Then something comes in that already has almost the exact paint he loves to use and he does it in school bus yellow. I think TysyTube is just doing this to drive me crazy.
yes🤣🤣🤣
Was the first thing that came to mind too! I was excited to see the Hammer finish and thought "oh yeah, I know where this is going!!" I was so wrong. Looks great though amirite?!
Pencil yellow.
@@TysyTube nice ripoff of “my mechanics”, my dude. Same style and everything. At least you’re nowhere as skilled as him and your high-end equipment is an electric screw driver? Lmao
@@AB0BA_69 You are rude
Strange thing about pencil sharpeners, When you see one like this, you get this strange urge to find every pencil in the vicinity and start sharpening.
Ain't that the truth!
Clearly it's an S.C.P
Ive got the same thing with girls
@@DrLoverLover EXCUSE ME
ikr
That spring shooting away like a rubber band made my day. 😂 how long did it take to find after that?
It was a rubber band
@@wargeta No, that was in fact a spring
@@Sam-fq5hc a band... made from rubber in fact
@@wargeta It's very, very obviously a spring.
@@thehorriblebright ha rubber.... band.. we can go all week
Love the restoration, but do wish you'd done it in the original blue hammerite paint rather than the mustard yellow
This way, nobody will back into it with their car!
@@dansimpson6844 Hahahaha good one
This was my only negative thing to say about it as well. Beautiful resto but ... Didn't care for the color. The blue would have been amazing. Still a gorgeous restoration though.
It's not mustard 🤣 it's basic yellow
@@ms-ht1cj That's the colour of Colman's English Mustard
Did anyone else "smell" those pencil shavings when he opened the shaving drawer?
I honestly miss that smell sometimes 🤣
I love the smell of pencils, pencil crayons, crayons etc.. Reminds me of being a kid again. Better days.
Oh gawd thank you I'm not alone 🤣
Yes, it smells wonderful! Pencils are made from cedarwood, a common ingredient in perfume making, especially men's fragrances.
Yes!
As a lover of pencils and old pencil sharpeners, I want to thank you for saving this gem! It turned out so beautifully - you are truly an artist!
I use 2mm lead holders, so I have a small collection of Koh I Noor No. 992 lead pointers from around 1949 and through the 1950s. They have Bakelite cup and the top is diecast. Very nice pieces.
I remember this exact model clamped to the edge of the teacher's desk in my 1970s first grade classroom. It was always a treat to be the one allowed to sharpen all of the pencils.
The hole in the bottom is for fixing it to your desk plate. There is a 90 degree angled pipe missing with a clamp of some sort. Usually, a winged screw that presses the clamp against the underside of the table. So this piece is missing.
I read through many comments to find yours-thank you! I thought those holes must be for a way to affix the sharpener to a desk.
Probably a rubber suction cup arrangement.
Would have preferred that you finished it in the original “Hammered Blue”
Also
I had the exact same thing in hammered grey. Good times...
When he was using primer and wet sanding I was like "Dude, the hammerite paint you regularly use, can be directly applied over metal" then I saw the yellow spray paint and I went like "What the F..."
@@Dolmeca_the_Knight my disappointment is immeasurable.
And my day is ruined.
The Hammered color was definitely better. I think, like Olwen Morgan stated, it was green underneath. But Hammerite paint over metal would have been the way to go here. The yellow is a good color, but it is doesn't fit this item at all.
I would NEVER be able to remember how that thing goes back together
Tysy: *makes reassembly look easy*
Me: *can’t even thread the lid on my jug of OJ properly*
I would prefer the original paint more. but nice
Yeah, that screaming yellow just not fit. I think it is left over from other project but still....eahh
Emerald Hammerite will be good for this thing.
@@alexanderzubarev5984 Yes, or a pale blue.
True. But, you'll never lose it in the clutter.
@@ozludo Ooh, pastel colours are nice. Especially with that gold.
My Grandfather had one of these beauties in his little workshop. It was gifted to him by the steelmile, where he was a foreman for over 50 years. Seeing it triggered for some reason so many beautiful memories, wich where formed in the workshop with the old man. Once we build a boat in there, even if we did not knew, how to get it out of there :D
Never thought, i would get emotional just by seeing a pencil sharpener :D
Great work, always happy to see you restoring and savin the old and beatiful things in the world :)
Well, it doesn’t matter what it is, small things can bring back lots of memories. It’s not just a pencil sharpener, it’s a distinctive object that you can refer back to in your memories to certain event.
So many unnecessary commas.
Great job. One suggestion, try the spray paint that has a textured - hand hammered look. I've used it and it makes the item look more original.
The original blue would have been better than the yellow. IMHO. : )
The sandblasting is the most satisfying part, hands down
Very nice. But in retrospect, I would have loved to see the hammered finish (Hammerschlag) again.
Wow this thing makes the phrase “they don’t make them like they used to” seem like the understatement of the century.
This is like all of these old restorations! Crazy to see how “simple” some things look.
Really though, this pencil sharpener is way more advanced and effective than the simple crappy sharpeners you see bolted to the walls in US schools these days
But they do! My one looks exactly like this but small, plastic and pig-shaped.
AGREEEEED
Make that sharpener now would cost 300 dollars
If this were my station, it would be called “this goes where?” Or “why so many parts left over?”
I'm sorry, but I have been having the worlds crappiest day. Everything I touch falls apart. So I sat down to catch up on my subscriptions, and this popped up.. When that spring went flying and I heard it hit the wall or what ever, I couldn't stop laughing!! Turned my day around. Thank you for that. Nice restoration by the way!!!!
Yep, it wouldn't have been half as funny if we didn't hear it hit the wall. 👌👍😂
Great moment.✔
@@bedinor What a pathetic remark. 👎
We had one of those at primary school in the early 80s! Legendary! We tried to dull our pencil tips just to have the privilege to venture to the teachers desk and be allowed to use the machine!!
Seeing that sharpener after all these years all I remember is asking the teacher to sharpen my pencil and spending ages at the desk till there was no pencil left
We had them too! Back in the 80’s!! They were fixed to the window sills!
We all did that way back when i was in school in the 70's, that wee machine was epic oh and the smell of pencil shavings, total bliss
It turned out very well, thank you for the video :) Radek
The care put in to restoring everything that comes TySy’s way is what keeps me coming back.
Excellent restoration. As always!
This pencil sharpener is much better than the ones that we have at school. And our pencil sharpeners are quite new
It's because they are new...
@@yah5o No its because schools skimp out on budget for these things
@@monochromaticmonotony that and stuff is made from cheap plastic and badly casted metals now.
We actually had these exact same ones when I was in primary school, in the 80’s!
@@oigitsuckit we actually had no pencil sharpeners in school, everybody had to take his own.
Why would you make it yellow? Why didn't you make it like the original cracked green finish.
It’s simple he wanted it yellow so he made it yellow. If you don’t like it well tough. You know maybe he didn’t like the green so next time keep this to yourself
@@dansdiecastcarreviews4942 It’s simple he was asking why he made it yellow instead of the original green. If you don’t like it well tough. You know maybe he didn’t like the yellow so next time keep this to yourself

I happy to see your restorations. I'm an artist and especially love seeing pencil sharpeners come back to life. Cast well has a long history of fine products. Thank you!
There were a lot of parts for such a small item! Your attention to detail and being slow and deliberate at every point (or segment as I think about your resotrations) is a great example for those of us who are DIYers. In fact, today I was using a chain saw and pole saw to cut branches from several trees in our yard, and the chain came off of the pole saw twice. I was aggravated but while fixing the problem your restoration techniques popped into my thoughts right then and I used your techniques in finding the problem and fixing it. After watching so many of your videos it was almost automatic, like I imagined how you would address and fix the problem(s). Nothing was broken but needed adjustment, and I had to disassemble a few parts. By cleaning the area so I could see the parts, and going slowly and deliberately, and not letting my aggravation cause me to lose my concentration, I was able to see, inside the area where the bar and chain attach to the motor, a very small adjustment screw move that I would've missed by being hasty, and I was able to easily make an adjustment, reassemble, and start using the pole saw again. The chain didn't slip off of the bar anymore after that and at the time I decided to actually fix the problem and not just put the chain back on, I was only about halfway through all the cutting I needed to do. After I got done, my mind wandered back to your videos, and I further realized that as much as we all like to see the finished product, how you get your restorations to the end-point is as much as, or more imporant than the finished and restored item. Thanks for sharing your videos and the lessons taught! And you don't even talk. :)
Every restoration is like a little travel to the past
Holy truth :)
Everyone else: ugh I don’t like the yellow
Me: Tysy got an electric screwdriver aw yeeeeeeah
Actually, I was noticing a lot of "product placement"
Levis jeans (t-shirt)
Bosch
...well, okay I was exaggerating by saying "a lot"
As soon as he pulled that out I was like, yep, I need one of those now!
Finesse, pride, and attention to detail. Thank you TysyTube!
I came across your channel randomly one day last month and I have lived every restoration I have watched. As a math teacher I was super excited to see this restoration. I LOVE what you did with this pencil sharpener and I love the color. I have seen sharpeners like this before, but did not realize it is a German design.
We had one of these at my first school, but only for the "top" class ie.10-11 year olds. I won't say which year...the younger children were not permitted to use it unsupervised.
This bought back a lot of memories thank you. It was very classy, well made kit.
Lovely restoration. Why didn't you paint it the same colour again pray tell 🙏?
miss that pencil sharpener lol
miss school.... miss being young .... miss going out!
im an aerospace finishing technician and i love videos like these. I've restored a 1956 Mall 36" chainsaw a few years ago and having a machine shop to work in was very helpful.
I love these videos, but every time I watch one I get stressed out wondering how on earth he’s gonna remember how to put it all back together in the right order, but then he always pulls through and I am left so satisfied and impressed.... an emotional rollercoaster
I'm pretty sure he uses the footage to help him in the process
Blue looked great, yellow looks great too! We all have our own tastes, but the person doing the actual work has the final say!👍🏻So Respect it!❤
these are getting better and better and so glad you kept the spring shooting off in the video!
you have single handedly made me want to learn to restore things. It seems like such a cool hobby!
There is something so relaxing about watching him put it all back together.
Ahh the nostalgia. I remember using a similar one to this when I was in school.
8:21 It's not a real restoration if a part doesn't go flying across the workshop at some point!
Very nice job. I had no idea how complicated something as basic as a pencil sharpener could be.
You always manage to make it look Brand new somehow. You also make it look so easy, espically when you stop and think about how much work and Love goes into each Restoration. Thank you.
What i really like in your videos is the obvious appreciation for the craftsmanship of previous generations! 👍
...and just like that, I now need an antique German pencil sharpener for my shop.
Whenever I see your video I click! Amazing work as always ❤️
I remember at school, in the 80s, there was always this one kid in class who would try to 'sharpen' their pen in one of these. Nice and messy usually.
Makes me feel so nostalgic! It looks better than it ever did when it was new.
This particular one might be vintage but in the 90s my school mad a very similar pencil sharpener in every room.
perfect 👍
These "old", so well made everyday use items are my favorite restorations. Would rather have one of these than a new one bought from anywhere today. Thank you.
The snap of those parts both before and after restoration, with them coming apart, or snapping back together was so nice, and that ending was smoooth

Nice job. what camera are you using and lens. Thanks.
I saw ur channel and i subbed to help u gain subscribers :>
i use canon 90d with canon lens 18-55mm for yt video is the best, you can make 4k 30fps and 24fps
Beautiful as always !!

@@TysyTube thanks bro
Tysy, your restorations are a great way to turn my day better. Always makes me happy when you transform old thing in new ones. The objects you restore, the details on de video edition, and the atmosfere of simplicity. Thank You for this fine job: Make my life better !
The artistic value of these videos increases every time
We had these in my school, in the 70's. They had little clamps, which fitted in that hole, in the bottom & clamped to desk.
Beautiful job, but I think the colour and finish is not appropriate for that vintage period. More of a 'pimp' than a restoration!
'Pimp my Pencil Sharpener' 😁
I think he should add leopard spots all over the yellow. Now, THAT would pimp it out!
You have a gift, patience, skill and delicate balance in all your restorations.
Well done..!!
German stuff
Complicated: Yes
Efficient: Also yes
*may actually include Germans as well
Tysy Tube Restorations, the way the comments look, there should be a refurb to the refurb to make it back to the original color. Y’all agree?
Tysytube: (trying to put spring back on)
Spring: Nope, I'm outta here.
(Proceeds to fly across the room)
In the parlance of the times, "YEET!"
@Wolfgang Kleinschmit Disgustard by mustard but its better than custard.👍
@Wolfgang Kleinschmit "Everything"? Are you usually prone to such exaggeration?
i asking myself, how long had he to look around the room to get the spring?
Great restoration. That type of 'vintage' pencil sharpener was found in every classroom when I went through infant & primary school in the 60's & early 70's - guess that makes me vintage also!
water sanding is always my favorite part 😩❤️ !!
:)
Tysytube: hey spring, could you just stay there for a sec?
Spring: no, i don't think i will.
Cool vid, i actually have one of these myself
I actually laughed when that happened, mainly because it would have happened to me as well!😂 I'm just glad it didn't hit him!!! That would have smarted! Youch!
I understood that reference
I'm a little surprised at a few things (I'm commenting only, and don't mean to detract from the work you've done).
The first is that you didn't use a simular colour and type of paint. I absolutely hate the Hammerite paint textured look, but I thought you'd have used that to get a simular look and colour back on it.
The second that you'd use the clear rubber feet instead of something more like the original black rubber feet that were on it.
The third that you didn't paint the brass plate and then sand the raised letters so they'd be visible.
Did you soak the retaining spring for the pencil holding cams in rust remover? It looked like there was still a bit of discolouration on the spring when you reinstalled it.
You've done a very good job, as always, but I was just a little surprised, that's all.
"I don't mean to detract from the work you've done, but let me make some points that detract from the work you've done"
I was surprised he went straight from sandblasting to painting, I'm used to him taking time to file the edges and smooth everything out first. Also not a fan of all the product placement.
@@XOMambaLif3 It is entirely possible to comment upon someone's work while still noting that they did a good job.
It's not like I've said "here's what you did wrong..."
As an example, on the paint comment, he's used almost the exact same paint colour on a restoration of a vice that the body of the sharpener had originally. So when I saw the close-ups of the sharpener I immediately thought "He'll probably use that Hammerite paint here again." Then when he went right to primer and a can of yellow paint my reaction was "I didn't expect that, that's surprising."
@@DougPoker Hey, if someone wants to sponsor him by sending him some product to use, and he wants to say thanks and show it, I don't really have any issue with that at all.
I didn't notice any areas that especially needed filing, so I thought "They must have done a decent job making it in the first place."
I love watching everything coming apart and then like a puzzle, going piece by piece back together. I’m terrible at puzzles so it’s a little bit like magic for me
Omg i love the yellow! I need to find one of these and paint it yellow, would be so pretty on my desk. 💛💛💛

شكرا لك انت الافضل في هذا المجال تستحق المتابعة والاعجاب
A Pencil sharping that is what i needed Always. I love your Restoration tysytube keep it up bro 👍🏻
0.25 Secret Stash, only joking, I remember these when I was at school in the 80s. Youd always play on it even if you didn't need to sharpen your pencil. Amazing work.
You always choose such crazy colors to paint your restored projects with! I💓 watching the sandblaster in use. Wish I had a job that paid well to sit and use it all day! 👽
You are missing the chrome "L" shape threaded peg that gose in the bottom through hole. It clamps it to the desk. Brought back memories of school in Germany, actually used that brand. Loved using them, so mechanical and fun. That pencil would be a rubber if it was mine. Lol
I wanted you to paint it in the “bleu nuit” color you always use...
_Looks like our boi has got some_
_new toys🔥_ ....
Maravillosos tus trabajos, no me canso de verlos. Te felicito.
Beautiful work! Love seeing vintage items restored to their original beauty!!! They don’t make things like they used yo! Beautiful work!
As a High School Math teacher- who insists only pencils be used -I really LOVE this!
My like is from India ❤️
Whos before 1 000 000 subs?
Such a great job. When I started work 50years ago this was the sharpener in our drawing office. Amazing work.
I love your exploded views after you do a teardown. They always look so considered and intentional. Very neat.
Ach, da werden Erinnerungen wach 🥰
Me to myself: as a next project I should do a pencil sharpener.
Tysy: Guess what.
Very nice job Bro!
The yellow looks much better then the blue. Great restore.
This is pure art. I enjoy your videos so much. Kudos to your editor!
With all the generated sawdust, that wet lube might be an issue down the road.
Which road? You know where he lives?😮
One of these was on every teacher's desk in my schools; three primary schools and one academy , even the high school where I did night classes. It must have been a profitable line; never knew they were German built. That was in the 60s/70s and every one of them was blue.
I thought you'd use blue Hammerite; would have been a pretty good match. Like so many other commentors, I'm not a huge fan of the yellow but it should always be easy to find, even in the dark. Seemed like quite a straightforward job this one but, after such a thorough clean, it should last another 70 years - they seem to have been built to last.
Vorsprung durch technik and all that.😁
P.S. I was always told that that phrase didn't actually mean anything in German but I just googled it to check the spelling and, apparently: 'progress through technology' who knew? 😁
i doubt that is german built, in russia maybe, i got one with GOST standard label USSR
@@WAdiS21 Interesting, and Russian would be even more surprising in Scottish schools in the '60s and '70s. No offence intended to German or Russian pencil sharpeners, just seems strange to me. 😁
I think this is my favorite of your videos that I've watched so far. What a handsome end result!
These old pencil sharpeners are the best my grandma has had the same one for 50 years and it's puts the best point a a pencil I've ever seen
we have so many of those at home (Switzerland)
I'm 52 and we had these in my school in the UK
Springs, my nemesis have spent many hours looking around the shop for springs that decided to take off like a bullet.
Yep, I finally had to rig up a box to work inside so I could find the springs and tiny screws when they made their bid for freedom. I'm too old and arthritic to be crawling around on the floor.
@@pfadiva that's a great idea I'll try that. But with my memory I'll probably start working and then I'll realize I forgot my box when a spring goes bye-bye.
Wow. A Faber castell pencil sharpener. Great job restoring it! It looks awsome. I would like having one of these in my art studio!
Beautiful yellow paint result. Really nice job and it works so well.
