He spent a lot of time and effort removing the well worn patina from it. He did a good job completely rebuilding it but in my eyes, it lost it's character.

Great video! Thanks!
Yes, it did lose some of it's charm but tools are made to work. It was pretty ugly before the rework and really impossible to see how it functioned. Now it shows the genius in the design with each part functioning as it was new! It was fascinating watching each part go through it's restoration steps and other parts being crafted to replace the ones that were too far gone. Wonderful job of returning a vintage tool from a neglected and damaged oddity to a functional and most interestingly designed machine! |
