Got one of these Gravel Spreaders for my 7th Birthday. I just turned 63 and still have it and keep it safe.

I love watching you restore the Tonka vehicles. It reminds me of the 1970 Tonka Truck with camper I had!

Сам смотрю на эти видео не отрываясь. Могу же и я делать такую работу, но единственной преградой является полное безденежье, и нет возможности купить себе помещение для мастерской со станками и множеством необходимых для работы инструментов.

It's always a great Sunday when I can watch a Chip Channel new video. No one, IMO, compares to your quality of restoration, and videos. GREAT JOB!!!!

Thank you for your posts! I used to think the sandblasting was my favorite...but over time, my favorite has become the metal work; banging everything back into shape and fabricating new parts. Your restores are awesome.

All I can say is WOW!!! Just another incredible restoration. From the master Chip!

Thanks again Ruth M Tumolo!

I really enjoy watching your videos-no background music. Just the sound of you working your magic.

I'll be 70 in August. You brought back wonderful memories of my childhood playing with my Tonka trucks. Thank you very much.

I always look forward to your restoration videos of these classic old toy vehicles. This one was no disappointment. You go the extra mile to make each restoration turn out to make the toy look better than new. I have been a subscriber now for about two years. It has been interesting to see how your techniques have evolved over time. You keep figuring out new and better ways to get the job done! I have to admit that when you first displayed this particular truck, I thought it would not be a terribly difficult one for you to do. It did present you with some challenges, but you still were able to overcome them and produce yet another masterpiece. It was so amusing when you came to focus on the original whitewalls for the tires. You flashed up on the screen that they were "rough." Rough did not even begin to address the condition of those original whitewalls! Keep on restoring and putting these videos up! There are several imitators who also put up videos here on KZread, but none of them produce the spectacular results that you do. For me, you are the king of the restorers!

Wow! This was definitely a rust bucket. You brought it back to life. I'm sure that it looks better now than the original. You are such a spectacular restorer. Your detail is spot on. Beaker is really a beautiful kitty.

I love your restorations. Yes, there are other KZread channels that do similar things but you are the best. There's something so wonderfully satisfying watching you do all that work and, seeing the incredible results afterwards.

I've watched many of your videos and the care and attention you put into your restorations is obvious. It just occurred to me that the "after" photos you include of the finished restoration(s) must conjure memories in the minds of some of your viewers, specific memories of those precious childhood moments when a gift under the Christmas tree or when a birthday gift from thoughtful parents is unwrapped and the Tonka truck is seen for the first time and the joy and elation is felt. These memories and feelings are too soon forgotten and should, instead, be held close and cherished. Childhood should never be underestimated and your work proves it.

This restore was awesome! Arguably your best one yet ( that I have sent anyways). Love to see old toy cars, trucks, etc. Being restored to new. Brings back many great memories. Thanks so much for doing these restorations.

I have watched almost every one of your videos and today my step dad watched this one with me, both of us were impressed with the all the hard hand work involved with the straightening of the metal, dad absolutely loved the powder painting and the way it came out great lol, and at the end, he said the before and after shots were not the same truck lol he thought it was two different trucks lol, he asked why you didn't paint the truck frame, fuel tank, fifth wheel and trailer sub frame in black, ( Dad is a retired truck driver) I told him that is the way it came from the Tonka factory, all in all, my dad approves of the new look, and throughout the video he kept talking about the toys he had when he was a kid way back when, Dad is 83 and he has advanced Alzheimer's with a bit of dementia and keeping him going is a ongoing challenge, thanks for sharing Chip Channel and we're looking forward to your next video

Rebuilding memories bro. Took me back 40 plus years now. Thank you for uploading. Memory lane looked the same as ever.

You can tell that it was a well loved toy and spent many days outside in the dirt beside where ever it ended up being before found and sold to you. I am sure that it is just like Christmas when you find a Gem like that and then again once all the restoration is done and you are at the time of reassembling. Great job. Appreciate you sharing.

You are truly an artist, I do this on a much smaller scale and know first hand how tedious and frustrating it can be. But the results always seem to make it worth while.

These have got to be some of the most relaxing and satisfying videos I have ever seen!.. You are an artist!

You almost lost me with the extended cameo of the nightmare with 8 legs, but after I opened my eyes, I watched you make magic. And it is magic. Not only do you turn rust into a wonderful toy, but you bring back memories of childhood. I never had many of these toys, but I had a truck and it's trailer that I loved. Still have the truck some 40+ years later. And, of course, LONG LIVE THE CYCLOPEEP! Thank you!

I love watching your videos and how you restore things and bring them back to life. Interesting on how they got in such a state in the first place.

You always do such nice work! I enjoy watching the restoration process as well as Beaker welcoming each item to the collection.

Absolutely beautiful, looks like a brand new truck like you just bought from a toy store.

Toys back then were big and tough , thank you for bringing them back to life , the good life.

Your cat approves. I think you did an amazing job of giving that Tonka toy dump truck a new look. Your cool 😎 love watching your videos there very interesting.

Nicely done. I love your collection, and as you pan over it, I find myself looking for my favorites. Keep up the wonderful work. And thanks for sharing Beaker with us all.

I love your restorations. My boys had Tonka toys when they were young. They were very well made out of quality materials. I wonder how many of todays toys will still be around in fifty years time and be be worth restoring? It's great that you can still get parts. Thanks for your very interesting videos and I love Breaker.

I had the same truck! I let a friend play with it....... he left it out in the driveway and his dad ran over the cab crushing it! Dad offered to replace it but instead he gave me his son's damaged Tonka mixer with the promise he would make a tandem tractor out of it....... he did and he helped me sand off the yellow painted trailer and paint it red like the converted tractor! I had the only Turbine cab tandem axle bottom dump in local existence! 1970 Los Angeles CA!

I remember when Tonka Trucks were made in Minnesota and we got to go to the factory for a field trip. They gave each student a small Tonka truck as a parting gift. Being a GenXer has some value.

Wow… A Tonka Bottom Dump! Judging by the amount of rust on that thing, it must have been sitting outside in someone’s yard for a long time before you ended up getting it and restoring it. You made it look like it was just assembled in the factory! Nice job!

Love sitting mesmerised to your restoration work. Like the info to say what you're actually doing. I wouldn't have a clue how to do this! These old toys deserve a second chance,! Keep the videos coming!

I recently spent quite a bit of time in hospital lately and these videos really helped to take my mind off things. Truly great work and I really enjoy watching all of them. Keep up the amazing work my friend 👍🏼

An idea you might try so that you don't need to "crimp" the axle support might be to put a piece of plastic tubing over the pivot. Tubing like this might be available from those little balloons at the che checkout at your dollar type stores. These balloons are very small, and don't have helium in them. Another source for plastic tube would be a shoe store as these are used inside the shoes to keep the shape.
