Antique Spyglass Restoration & Leather Case: Maker Adventure 8! (Feat. Hand Tool Rescue)
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
A special item was dropped in our lap after running into The Hand Tool Rescuer. Not much is known about him, and he ran off before answering any other questions, but he left behind The Astral Spyglass! It gives the user the ability to see things far away....very, VERY far away. A case was needed to contain its magicks.
Thank you Eric: / handtoolrescue

This is certainly the greatest thing anyone has ever done. So glad you liked the gift! I loved the green shop sweater in 8-bit.

I know I’m a broken record every week but I *love* this video. The style, narrative and craftsmanship is awesome. Love the Jimmy cameo as well. We are all guilty of sniffing our tools I bet.

Awesome gift, stellar build! Seemed like some difficult stitching. Love that you preserved the patina on the brass and matched the leather with the artificial patina. A+

Getting the wrench in as a measuring “spoon” was genius. It’s not a hand tool rescue without the wrench

You are right. Gotta have the wrench to do it right.
I love your measuring cup. And stirring stick. And hammer. And adding the wood grain? Awesome! And then I keep watching and there you are doing completely magical things with leather. I can't even. I don't. Just. There. Things. Awesomeness. No words.

Really cool crossover. I loved how you preserved the patina and the addition of effects add to the story and really make you stand out from other content producers. By the way, video idea: Pirate Ship style installation of cotton battening on Jimmy’s Barn Doors to help make them weather tight!
