Restoring A $30,000 Neon Sign From The 1940s | Refurbished | Insider
Mr. Cohen is such a wonderful story teller, I could listen to him for days. I love neon signs so much. We used to have so many of them here in Poland from the 1930s to mid 1990s, now though most of them are sadly gone...
He sounds like the wood shop teacher that everybody loved in school. I love it
Mr. Cohen has restored a couple of my neon items. Most notably, a neon red/green pedestrian WALK/DONT WALK traffic signal from the 1940's. I believe it was his first one. It is beautiful.
i can listen to this gentleman tell me all about the history of neon signs and be so thrilled to learn all of it.
I used to work in the signage industry and the highlight of my day was to go and watch the neon guys make up the glass letters, such an art form in itself. True craftsmen and I was very jealous wishing I could do what they do. The years of experience are now, sadly, all but gone, so its nice to see people like Howie keeping the industry going, if only in a small part. Much respect to all the people who keep all these dying crafts alive for us to enjoy.
He has the most soothing story telling voice! I need MORE!
You can tell he loves his craft.
That Neon sign should be preserved more. It contains history that should never be lost.
Very appreciative of him taking the time to share his craft. I miss seeing neon lighting and signs everywhere decades ago.
What a legend, had him as a teacher in high school!
Beautiful work. I love neon. I worked at Bellows Sign company in Akron Ohio from 1969 to 1973. I built 30' Firestone bowtie signs with neon lettering. (red with white lettering). They went to Firestone tire store all around the country. We built all types of neon signs. We had a separate glass room where they blew all the glass. Fond memories.
The neon sign looks brand new..!! That was an awesome job..!! (Thank you for the update, Insider..!!)
Love to see people delve into something they enjoy, notice how clear and well spoken he is and constantly makes contact with the camera
This was great fun to watch. It really takes me back because I used to work at a custom neon shop in NYC back in the 90s. It's kind of a dying art today so I'm very glad to see it's still being done well by Mr Cohen.
I worked installing neon signs …. Always loved helping in the shop building them . Learning how to craft the neon tubing …was the most satisfying…. THANKS FOR POSTING THIS :o)
I’ve always been fascinated by neon. It makes me so nostalgic. You can tell he loves his job dearly.
No LED can have the same magic as neon
He is really a good narrator. I’d love to tour his shop and watch something be created.
Between the music and this lovely man passionately explaining his craft this felt like meditation.
Please have him on this channel again! I love this! I am so intrigued 😊
