Күн бұрын#restoration #sledge #snowpiercer
Hello everyone,
In this video, I'll take you through the process of restoring a vintage sled. From start to finish, I'll show you how I repair, refurbish, and rebuild this classic snowmobile, giving it a new lease on life. Whether you're a seasoned woodworker or just starting out in sled restoration, this video will provide valuable insights and tips on how to upgrade and revamp your own sled. So sit back, grab a cup of coffee, and enjoy the ride as I take this antique snowmobile from drab to fab!
Have fun with the video and leave a comment and a like there if you now know how to fix a sled.
As beer I test this time a "Jacobs Weissbier" and I can already say I liked it, but see for yourself

These continue to be the only restoration videos that make me smile and laugh out loud. I thought for sure this one wasn't going to get the "of course it needs to be tested" treatment, but I am so happy to be wrong! I hope this makes its way to the kiddo who got the tricycle, too. At least on loan.
@xxPenjoxx Жыл бұрын
There were so many positive things in this video that I had to make a note of them all. The stop motion parts all made me smile. That 4-way split effect of all the work done on one piece looked great. I really like that you welded and evened out the cross piece - it made a world of difference. The handle was perfectly matched. It's great seeing all the effort you put into your videos. This sled must have been a huge project, and all your hard work paid off. One of your best videos, making the beer all the more fitting. 👏

Everything about this video was grade A. From the metal and woodwork to all the little details like counter sinking the screws and rounding the sharp corners. It was also pleasant to see an old toy be brought back to life and the memories I had of one similar 60 years ago when I was just a boy. Seeing it an action was the coup d'etat lol.

this video should stand as a lesson on how to create a totlly watchable video. I love this one, from the opening piece, trough to the beer tasting to the "say no to war" at the end.

You are a beautiful magician by having all those screws screw in at the same time. I laughed my ass off about it and wondered if you believed in it yourself, but the sled turned out beautiful and that with a steering wheel, I had never seen that before.

First and foremost the videography and complete restoration were fabulous. Meticulous work on the runners, bleaching the wood and freshening some of the holes with plugs. Loved the stop motion and the final run down the hill. I have to say that I had the longer version (3 person) of this sled back in 1957 in Otterberg. It had a cowling on the front as I remember but need to look at some of those pictures to remember for sure. Mainly I remember going down the hill next to the house and going off the end of the driveway with about a 10' drop and landing in the potato patch...hard to brake and drive at the same time...;-P. We had it for years and tons of fun until I was a teenager but think Dad sold it then. Thanks for the restoration ride and memories!!
