If I worked there I would go out and find rusty things just to watch you clean them xD

Just be really energy intensive

Oh man, I have a lot of rusty tools and parts you can clean!

Those FOOLS!

There's just something about laser cleaning that I don't care for. The uneven surface finish when compared to sandblasting really bugs my OCD.

true I love it when they also have to make new parts

I have a pencil sharpener and I want one of these. I know, the most generic response, but I like doing art and writing with hand made, hand crafted materials.

oldest one i've seen is rubbing it on a rock

yeah, it's like their concept of how a pencil is sharpened is so rooted in the motion of using a knife, they recreated that action as a far simpler solution might not have even occurred to them.

Just like Rube Goldberg Machines

Honestly I think this concept may be simpler than the more common helical sharpeners. Of course, nothing is simple than the prism sharpener.

Why wouldn’t this have been called a manual pencil sharpener? We had automatic pencil sharpeners at this time

@@neisjo most pencil sharpeners of this time that used the marketing phrase "automatic" meant that the sharpener would automatically sharpen the tip to a perfect point every time when you turned a crank. Silly, I know!

@@neisjo Turn the handle, and it 'automatically' sharpened the pencil. Similar to putting a pencil in a hole and applying pressure to 'automatically' sharpen the pencil.

Are you talking about where he got rid of most of the original components and then the final product didn't even work?

@@nover0570 No need to be a smart ass. This wasn't his best work (or maybe the original design just sucks) and yes it was more of a refab than a restoration. But no, I'm taking about how he restores stuff that was actually neglected. As opposed to the fake restorations many other channels stage by either throwing dirt on something or inducing an artificial patina to make it look old.

@@nover0570didn't even work? Im pretty sure i saw it work.

​@@nover0570stop replying to everyone saying it didn't work.

In my opinion restoration is bringing something back to it's state when new. With all the flaws it had. Improving should only be done if the product is going to be used regularly. And with cars for safety/environmental reasons. But i understand you go for looks❤

Exactly, this guy dont know how to soldering

If I may also add: Make sure to clean the the parts well where you intend to solder. It will help a lot. Great work BTW.

It looks like he's used to soldering small computer parts, judging by how he used the solder wire

Also having it jammed in the vice like that just acts like a heatsink would be better to use alligator clips or some kind of mechanical tack

The pencil sharpening itself didn't make you question anything?

​@@nover0570Not his fault the design sucked

have you seen any behind the scenes videos of people who make shit? Having the filming equipment and position for a good shot makes doing "proper" work hard.

@@nover0570 You're dealing with nigh on 120 year old tech here. No, it's not the best sharpener in the world, of course not. It doesn't have the automatically machine ground hard thin blades that most of us use today or the converging grinding heads of a big sharpener from the 60s. It's from the era when people sharpened their pencil with a pocket knife, and this even imitates that action, badly.

@@martinpringle2127 It's also the question of scale. These are in reality very small welds that we're getting a VERY close look at, and they aren't exactly holding a car chassis together, it's all good.

The good, the bad and the sharpener

Yes😅😊

​@@mariopetracca9695 good one

Never, restore then use them, I restore old fans, and them give them away, GE, Igloo , Samson I also restore Telechron clocks too ! Great gifts to be given to those who appreciate the effort and the look !

I don’t think the blade was having trouble cutting, it looks to me like the blade hitting the automatic pencil turner he made is what’s causing the problems

@@zombiepwner14 i believe that is how the sharpener works, the blade hits the pencil turner causing it to do it's job.

@@FrankSnakeSnail It is, which (in my opinion) is a poor method to make it spin. He could have added spokes between the handle and the body of the sharpener to hit the new sprocket from the other side, then the blade wouldn't be dulled with every hit like it would be with his setup. However, you would risk getting a finger pinched by the spoke if you weren't careful, but not being careful with this sharpener is a bad idea to begin with.

@@zombiepwner14 That part of the blade being dulled doesn't matter. It's the tip that hits the turning mechanism, which is not the part of the blade that sharpens the pencil.

He's Batman. 😂

best of wishes to you and your wife.

It was probably a factory that created hundreds or thousands of them. I doubt the person would care much. They were probably made on an assembly line by multiple people.

They’d also probably be ooh’d and ahh’d over all those fancy laser tools, given that this is 1906 we’re talking about

It’s academic, that matters. Watch and pay close attention to the video structure, pacing and tempo.

Working order? Did you watch the end? The thing didn't even work.

@@nover0570 Dude you're fucking everywhere. Get a life.

@@nover0570 Glad I'm not the only one who wasn't fooled by the fakery

@@nover0570 By what standard? This thing is almost 120 years old. Of course it doesn't work as smoothly and efficiently as a modern unit. It probably never did.

на фиг она ?

It prolly worked better before he messed it up.

@@nover0570 Obviously not, it had parts missing and many decadades worth of old rust, but I think I know what you are saying. Better to preserve the antique patina, making the item fully functional again while leaving the visible history of the item intact. I personally prefer this as well, I have many antique things, mainly a variety of clocks. I repair them, clean and service the movements but I leave the woodwork and oxidised brass on the exterior as is, they tell their life story with every crack and scratch, while having a beautifully polished and freshly oiled movement inside. Why I respect the work of Odd Tinkering as well as channels that keep the patina intact when doing a restoration/restomod, is that a piece of interesting old tech is saved from the scrapheap and given a new life, and you must admit he's very skilled in making missing (and often undocumented) parts from scratch.

Same, I replaced the PSU and fan on my childhood PS2. The socket had cracked at the casing and the wires were the only thing holding it in place. I couldn't figure out the screws so I just did the whole PSU. The fan started getting corroded on the metal plating, and tbh my donor one was cleaner anyways. What do you think of cleaning wihout IPA? I didn't use any solvent and the fan came out well. Used cotton buds for some dust here and there. Also, I had it disassembled for about two weeks. I was trying to glue a part back on, failed by applying too much glue/rushing/getting it off-centre, then I tried some tape then realised it could damage the drive, so I gave up trying to put it back on. Turns out the spring holds it well, so I think it's fine. I should ask Odd about how he decided to try automotive polish and what he looked out for. My copy of LSWTVG is unplayable, and is basically one of the few games I repaired the system for. I have some dummy discs I can try some stuff on, but research into it hasn't helped. There's an article that's literally a bloke writing a last-minute paper in his office who used something that made fumes, so he did it in the fire stairs, and quora/wikihow are high on the results. Needles to say, I'm stumped.

@@JACKHARRINGTON I live by IPA lol. I upgraded my GBA with an IPS LCD screen and a USB-C rechargeable battery. I put an HDMI adapter into my GameCube, and basically copied Odd's Wii video and did the same for mine.

I agree and the knob of the handle could have restaind

i mean if it had all its og parts and looked decent with no rust and had its label i can see some paying that much for it

@@redschafer7804Yeah, but a fool and their money are easily parted.

@@redschafer7804 Nope. I had an immaculate one of these that came from my Grandparents house when they died, and I got around $300 for it.

@@JSmith19858 Ok i thought that with anything antique the better the condition the more you could ask for it but then again my experience with stuff like this is very limited
