The charizard 😢, absolute mad lad

So relaxing watching him restore these classic metal toys. He’s the best. 👍🏽

The movement of the shovel is so perfect; no current toy works like that!

You absolutely amaze me. I am a 70 year old grandma and I remember my brother having some of the toys you have restored. I love watching you use your machines and making replacement parts. God Bless…

I've enjoyed your channel for some time and I just have to say, you're the best restoration artist I've seen on youTube. I am a former nuclear weapons specialist (I used to work on the warheads) and spent 30 years in aviation as an Airframe & Powerplant mechanic, working on C-130s when I was in the USAF, and built the world's most powerful jet engine, the GE90, for almost 20 years. I find your care and procedural discipline to be unparalleled in your field. You exhibit the same kind of care I took when working on nukes, or when I was building jet engines. You'd have a fine career in aviation, with such a disciplined and professional approach to your work. It is so refreshing to see it outside of my old fields, where it was compulsory, mandatory, and next to safety, was the highest priority. I'm retired now, and hoped to continue working on old airplanes as a hobby. But, nine hand operations took their toll, and I can't make my hnds work with the finesse required, anymore. So, it is with all the more pleasure to watch your work: It fills a great void in my life and it is very satisfying to see how much care you take in the restoration -nay, rebirth, of these wonderful old toys. Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart.

The kids and I drove past the old Marx toy factory in West Virginia on Monday. So they were very excited to see this video today when we returned home.

There are people who are good at stuff, and then there are master craftsmen. You, sir, are the latter! Your skill and attention to detail are amazing. Who would have thought that this toy would go from A to B like this? Thanks for the chance to watch you at work.

Good job , again. I can tell you love your work. It is so pleasurable to watch you put these old toys back in new condition. I use to play with a lot of these toys when I was a little boy. I was born in 52 and my brother was born in 49. These were the toys you had to play with because that's all there was . Amazing. Thanks again.

Колоссальная работа проделана!! Золотые руки у вас!!!!!!

After watching several of your videos, I have truly come to appreciate how meticulous you are in your workmanship, what a master craftsman you are, & how varied your skill sets.

No spray paint. No purchased replacement parts. No shortcuts. Chip Channel does it right every time!

Of course, the irony is that the renovated steam shovel is far, far better than it was when it was bought in the 1930s. Great work.

Великолепная работа! А пушистая красавица в финале ролика, вообще, бесподобна. 😀

It is always satisfying to watch you as a craftsman who knows what he is doing, work, and end up with something beautiful at the end of your labours. Can't wait to see the tank!

Great work on a great toy. I really appreciate your restauration work, because it is skillful and foremostly honest. No fake rust (on plastic and diecast parts...), no halfwit stories of burned-down all-metal-models, no surprise findings in the creek behind the house, no sawing-in-half-to-put-it-together-again-BS. Your "patients" are as authentic as your work on them, with perfect results.

I like the summary though I would shorten it a bit. I would very much love to see a documentary of sorts about how this passion all began. Magnificent work as always, Chip!

Your mold-making skills are top notch....even with the "flaws." Casting is hard to get perfect without a lot of practice and learning from mistakes. I very much like watching your process....I can always tell when the JB weld is going to be broken out. Of all your tools and equipment I love the tool-less bit changing CNC..that thing is rad! Can't wait to see the lathe in action soon.

I loved steam shovels and cranes since I was young… still love them today as well… nice job 👍🏻 on this reminds me of the one I had… keep the videos coming enjoy watching them all

This restoration is intensely beautiful! And the function is so cool!

What an amazing restoration, loved the amount of time you showed of the sand blasting the metal and the powder coat baking. That turned out beautifully better than new. I want to watch you restore the tank too. That is going to be awesome to watch.

This guy is nothing short of a magician! Great restoration job!

I love watching the process and seeing your skills grow as your workshop grows too! This turned out really nice and I think the blue tint actually makes the wheels look metallic so that works. As for the beginning summary, it feels like a bit of a spoiler to me so I FFwd past it because I want to wait for the good stuff.

Bloom. You're a lovely soul! Very impressive. I love your patience with your work and to the details. I do a lot of fabrication with modern grinders. But I need to rush through it because of time. It's very pleasant to watch this video.

The effort involved in that injection moulding of the tracks! Love it.

Magnificent! Restorations of Tonka style toys to another level of amazing! Great work!

Realmente es hermoso lo que haces con todos esos juguetes, si aquellos niños que jugaron con esos juguetes lo vieran hoy en día seguro rejuveneceria. Gracias por hacer lo que haces.

Absolutely amazing work!This is a different level of restoration!

Great restoration Chip, the coloring really pops out, and I like the idea of getting rid of the lead altogether, thanks for sharing

Fantastic colour.. Lovely restoration, the metallic suits the toy and makes it more of an object to look at than just a mere play thing...

That paint job is incredible! Decals always line up....and I always look forward to seeing your well loved cat at the end; wouldn't be the same without him.

I was raised in Port Colborne and your video provided some unique perspectives. We swam in the canal and ships such as these were often taken for granted.

Incredible! Incredible restoration! What more needs to be said? Well done.... well done indeed! Take care, be safe and God bless!

I really didn't care for the summary. It would be better as a KZread short used as a teaser for the upcoming video release (like a day ahead of time). Congratulations on the urethane casting! I assume that was a positive pressure vessel and not a vacuum pressure? Well done, as usual! Thank you very much!

I subscribed back when you only had about 100+ people...and now you're at 287,000! I'm glad you set up this channel, it's absolutely one of my all time favorites.

A fantastic restoration! Watching this I remember having something similar when I was a kid in the late 70s/early 80s. I don't think it was Tonka, but it was metal, massive, with a long crane arm and likely came to me from my older brother. I had completely forgotten about it until now, so thank you for a wonderful memory.
