Hi! So very cool. I happen to be the customer operations manager at Acme Staple Company. This stapler was actually a roofing stapler. It was used to clip a particular type of shingle together. Loved seeing the acorn in there, and the note about the bronze bushings! You have your company history right, and I agree this one hails from sometime during the early 60s. When I started with the company in 1998, we still sold both the staplers and the staples. Thanks for doing this. Excellent job!

That is one SOLID piece of kit. Everything, not just tools, looks SO much better without any plastic bits. After that tidy-up, that stapler could probably last another 70 years. Somehow, I can't imagine a restorer in 2089 attempting to restore "an old stapler from the 2010s". Keep up the good work, I enjoy watching your stuff. All the Best, Dougie.

I am always impressed by your camera work and angles. Also sometimes when you do your work from an obviously awkward angle yet still make it work. You have very steady hands. Great stuff!

The thing I love about this channel is that he restores tools to what they most likely would've looked like it if they had been properly maintained whereas other channels (no offense) go over the top and make them look brand new and polish every part to a mirror finish. Dgmw, I like those channels too, but there's something to be said about doing it this way.

Love your work. 2 things: how in the world do you know how to put things back together: photos, notes or the worlds greatest memory? Second, It is sad to see all the small town manufacturers who used to produce such wonderful products now replaced buy imported stuff of such lesser quality. American business sold their country for profit. I am 70 years old and I mourn the past that had us making our own stuff 😔.

My favorite part about your channel is that you actually restore to what the item looked like. Imperfections and casting marks and all. You don’t smooth stuff out to what YOU think it should look like and you don’t stop to “make a new one” for everything just to show off that you have a lathe.
