Kitty timestamps: 7:13 Resting catto 7:36 ~ some scritches and head patting for Avril And that's one more reason housekeeping was hard decades (and centuries) ago. Ironing clothes meant smoking your hand. Thanks for the video! Awesome work as always! May God bless you!

Love the collaboration between the 'older' and 'younger' hands, showcasing their respective restoration skills. Great work as always.

The thing that I really like about this channel is every restoration actually feels like a restoration that preserves a feeling of an old object, with imperfections like pitting on metal, weird old texturing on wood etc. That's not to say channels like my mechanics are not impressive, with that guy I am blown away in every video by the fact he turns an old thing into something that looks like it's brand new. It's just that I prefer it when some quality of "vintageness" is preserved, like with this heater - some amazing work has been done here and it is obviously perfectly functional, but it looks like an antique piece worthy of being exhibited in a museum, not like something that came off a conveyor belt last monday.

I always really like when they deep fry the metal. It gives me joy.

For such few parts to repair, your workmanship is excellent. This has been one of the most enjoyable restorations to date. Nice that you restored the handle as opposed to crafting a new one. I am a woodworker (as well).

I love old irons. I have my grandmother's iron that she would set on the stove to heat. I might restore it one day. As always a great restoration!

Только подошву не просто шлифовать нужно было, но и полировать.

Love Avril, you got the purrfect garage kitty right there. Not like mine, where she just lays on the whole project; usually electronics repairs by the way. hahaha

Lovely work. I think my seamstress wife would prefer a slight bevel or rounding on the plate circumference to get rid of that slightly rough edge so it doesn’t snag fine fabrics. We love old irons, too!

Your videos are so restful and interesting. The perfect way to unwind after a day in the office. Thank you for sharing.

I won't lie, seeing that extra hand threw me for a second. One of those, something isn't quite right, moments! 🙃 Between being at 888k subs and the kitty's guest appearance, notice my name and pic, I couldn't help but sub. Nicely done, too. I like that you didn't "restore" the handle, opting for a light sanding and staining. If it's old, keep it old, is my preference.

I always appreciate when restorers try to preserve even the wood. Gorgeous work as always

It's always a good day when Avril shows up.

my favourite part is always the end where you actually test the product !

this one was a nice blend of 'restore' and 'remake'. Saving that wooden handle was nice...

The before / after is really really impressive 🤩👍

Top 3 favorite channels!!!! LABD never disappoints!!! Thanks for sharing your content

LAPD is so polite. Instead of "these welds are horrendous", he says, "these welds are not original, let's fix them." haha!

IDK why, but I love videos that have "Attempt 1 to get thing off. Attempt 2 to get thing off. Attempt 3 to get thing off involved grinding down the head of the screw, because it is coming off right now." :D

I truly enjoy watching this channel. I subscribed after watching your first video and patiently wait for new ones. Of all I've seen here, the wheelbarrow restorations are my favorite so far. I like that you reuse what you can. It reminds me of a saying that came from people that lived through hard times. They said "Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without."

My dad has a collection and I hope your video will help-Thanks. He use to Collect Antique tools, Irons and farming machine.

This iron seems more practical to heat than others I've seen. Great restoration!

I am fascinated by your techniques and skill in restoring, what I would say, are historical artifacts. I enjoy your channel immensely. ✌️

7:38 wow dude! Looks like you did an awesome job restoring that cat! Well done

Awesome, dude! Really beautiful work! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

One of the best ones yet

J'aime bien vos projets. Encore une fois un très très beau travail. Félicitation, du Québec, Canada.👍🏻🇨🇦

Hey Guys I always like it, when you grow a 3rd hand when required...haha The iron is great Take care

I love that you ironed with it at the end!

Nice Job, well done. And apparently cat certified and Avril approved.

I only view these to see Avril - I was not disappointed! And the bonus is that I get to watch a restoration video that goes from zero to 💯. Thank you!

Good job Arvil's effective supervision... Congratulations...

Came out really well. I do wish that you would have sanded the ironing part to maybe 2000 grit so it was almost polished. Most iron faces are polished. Makes for smooth ironing.

Nicely done, looks great, thanks for the video.

Yet another beautifully done restoration. It turned out amazing. It must be very rewarding to bring these relics back to life. I am a wood carver, and when I have finished with a piece I have carved, it brings me great satisfaction. Thanks for taking us through the process. ♥️🙏🏼♥️

I can remember when growing up that charcoal irons were the only option we had. Very economic if you already have a hot stove.

Wonderful job guys !! Top shelf work all the way !! It works AMAZINGLY well irons that material out like a charm !! 👍👍

WOW!!! Works like a brand new one. Great job

Привет! Отлично восстановленный утюг, да еще в рабочем состоянии! Я этим летом на копе взял утюг, только не для углей, а полностью литой, жалею теперь, что не запечатлел ждя истории! Аврелию низкий поклон! Всем добра!

You two do such beautiful work

Oh my got! I saw the same equipment in the museums, but it still works as it should be.

super restoration project 😍 this iron chidhood memory 🥺❤️‍🔥

Very nice sir! Life sure used to be a lot smokier!

Beautiful work as always! Hello Avril! 🐱

Incredible! I need this for my off grid cabin!

I am amazed at how well it works. Beautifully done on the restoration.

Love your videos, you're very talented!

У моей бабушки был такой в деревне. Спасибо за видео!

Que trabalho lindo. Fico sempre feliz em ver essas restaurações.

Good restore

I love how he takes the time to bring his cat just so we can see him. Absolutely adorable.

I remember my grandmother use to have a couple of theses from her childhood 😉

Thank you so much for keeping the wooden handle, and not replacing it

I have no idea why, but watching you mill bolts, screws, rivets, etc. completely fascinates me! I love all of it, but that part just really grabs my attention.

Make sure, no amber will slip out of the holes and burn your linen! 🤣🤣🤣 Great job, as always, nice to watch! 👍👍👍

And you know how to iron a shirt!! Great work! Thanks for sharing

Amazing how you're making me sleepy right now 😌

Nicely done

well done. no nonsense restoration.

We still have one of these and my grandma used it during one of our heavies hurricane. Old but not useless

Tony Stark may be Iron-Man, but you really know how to restore an iron, man! 😁👍

Nice restaration process and really awesome final product.

Excellent !👍👏

Awesome...... Awesome........ your hand work sir,please upload more new videos . From INDIA 🙏

Fantastic job!!!❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Fenomenal job!!!!!

Great job.

Great job. I also restored this one and tried to iron it, it turns out great

Another piece of history saved and made beautiful again. They must have loved their modern conveniences!

A new video from the legendary LADB, at last.

いつも器用で丁寧な仕事ぶりでカッコいい😎

Very well done.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤I saw all the videos. The final ending is incredible. I love Avril.

High tech may be more convenient but low-tech is so much more interesting!

Thanks for keeping that wood handle.

Good job, Avril.

Also ich hab ja am Anfang ein wenig gezweifelt aber er hat das Bügeleisen wirklich gut wieder hingekriegt. Bravo!

Parabéns lindo trabalho 👏

Very cool!!!

Thanks for sharing 👍

Excellent!

Sempre um excelente trabalho. 👏👏👏🇧🇷

Nice one. Liked the knob.

Great job, I got the same one from my grandmother in my country house, I also need to restore it in case of a power outage)))

Very good restoration 👍👍👍Thank you for sharing. Be safe🇨🇦

I've seen the solid steel ones from back in the day but not this type , nice job on bringing it back to life.

I would have loved to see all the pitting from the rust get fixed. Bring it back to a smooth finish

amazing!

Wow, that is a smart way to remove rust :O

Good morning from Southeast South Dakota

So good

Glad to see you two again. Great restoration of an old Iron, the age of it is older than me by a few years, lol. Is it from the early 1900s?

Grandma had one of these. Heavy as you would expect for something made entirely of iron. Then you looked at the other things she had, like a wooden floor polisher, also maddening heavy, and you would understand why grandpa wouldn't push so hard. His manly face wouldn't make a dent in her heavy fists.

This video is Avril approved.

Very nice

Holy crap! This is amazing… I had no idea you had three hands!!!???🤔🤣

Excellent looking restoration and you did an amazing job restoring it!! Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

Hey man you got awesome patient to gonna give the best. I see love and humility about every process, that wise can be perfection ... 🙂

awesome!

J'adore Avril.
