I love watching projects that don't go as expected and require additional experience and skill. The reason repairs were required with this restoration and how they were accomplished were fascinating. (I'm now a subscriber.)

After only one minute... start drilling in a piece of antique... would freak me out... Great restoration!

Awesome project. Thanks for sharing.

I was watching this next to my dogs and the high pitched wirring of the ball tool in the beginning freaked them out. Also I love watching this channel! ❤️

After about 200 restoration videos someone finally explains why brazing is chosen over welding sometimes. Thanks for the brief explanation :)

nice work. I'm sure most people don't get how difficult welding the cast iron was. It's one of the most difficult things to weld there is. Most of the time, most people don' t even try to weld it, they braze it instead but that's not as good of course, especially on a stress point like that. Super nice job on that.

I enjoy ever restorations that you do and so I want to say "'I just want to be like the Acme Restoration Guy"' .When I see your videos they remind me a lot about the shop my father had in ILL which he called "'Mr. Fix It" but he did not do the same type of work he worked on small appliances and battery and wind up toys and music boxes. The item that I remember the most that he and I got to work on before his passing was an old pinball machine it tooks us over 6 months to get it up and running. Thank you for bringing me back to a great moment in time and I always look forward to seeing the next to keep restoration video.

Great restoration. I appreciate that even a pro breaks things every now and then. There was good learning in seeing how you fixed the break. Enjoyable! Gary

What a wonderful thing you have given life to again.

Nice tear down and clean up. Beautiful restoration. Cool tobacco cutter.

The fellow on your cutter is more likely to be a pixie than an elf. He is sassy, mischievous, impudent, and disrespectful; thumbing his nose, which is a gesture of dislike or disrespect. I really enjoy your restoration videos!

Wow that was such a great, satisfying watch. Thank you. It always relaxes me to watch restoration videos and you did an awesome job on this one! Aloha from Hawaii!!! 🌺

The welding looks so cool

This was really good, i just added you to my list of favourite youtube restoration channels 👍

Great job! 👍🏼 As a passionate pipe smoker I would love this cutter to slice twist and plug tobaccos. Regards, Patrick

When working with a rivet that old and rusty I generally drill all the way through with a small bit and then repeat with larger bits until I can collapse the ends or sides inward. MUCH easier than weld and filling a piece of broken cast iron. Just the way I've done them - I'm really old and don't like extra work!!! Nice job. :-)

I was thinking: "that cleaver blade is really pitted; it will look terrible." Then, of course, you sanded it down past the pitting. What an excellent restoration. New subscriber here.

Wonderfull !!!!!!

I know exactly what that is. When hand rolling cigars. The ends need to be trimmed off. Wow that's pretty cool. Haven't seen one in a long long time. Hand rolling shops still use them. If you go Down South to a hand rolling shops and looking around you might see on still.

I think this piece qualified to be molded for future use. It is beautifully crafted and so few things are these days. Bravo, I subbed, rand, thumbed.

Well Done!

Need to preheat cast in order to get a proper weld. Then gradually cool it.... But no more than this will be supporting, should be fine.

This is an interesting little piece of history. It would make a fine ornament in someone’s house and an interesting conversation piece. You did a marvellous job. Well done. I’ve added you to my subscription list. What did you do with the finished piece??

Nice job! I would recomend working on sound on next videos... like in the sandblast part or when you were sanding with that tool (not tha manual part). Great job, though!

Great work as usual! Thanks for keeping it real and reminding us that we're all humans and make mistakes sometimes. May I ask why the switch from oxide to beads?

Get some marshmallows so you can make smores and interrogate enemies at the same time. Liked it.

Genial!! 👏👏👏👏

Very nice. I could have used one of those years ago. I still have the block press I made, but cutting by hand was hell. I might put in another crop this spring. 50 grams of tobacco has reached $130AU (I started off paying less the $2). I just forked out another $600, mid video to shop online, to get me through the next month. The world has gone mad with doctors influencing everything, including govt, with things shouldn't concern them... when there are no side-effects on a patient. I've just been bombarded with liver tests, that are always fine, by a new doctor, because I drink and take a lot of paracetamol. Great vid. I'm glad these machines exist... somewhere. I would have thought it might operate better with a single grind edge, like some Japanese knives. I've no idea how commercial tobacco cutting machines work. I could be wrong, it happens, lol. Thanks for the upload.

Great job. New subscriber 😊

When restoring cast iron you need to back the piece, with wood or leather to reduce the chances of breaking it and destroying any resale value. Other than that you did well.

I was waiting for a glass of milk to wash down the candy bars. Nice job! I think Black Rustoleum was a good choice. Did you use any hardener?

Nice job on the repair....awesome....that blade needs to be a lot sharper if you want to cut tobacco.....

Japanning isn't gloss black but more of a satin finish really dark brown. Although with the red primer it gives it a black-ish brown look to it...maybe it's just the light? You could of used cabbage leaves for the demonstration.
