Beautiful work sir 👍👍 No music, no frills, no gimmick. Just solid craftsmanship. Nice job.

The perfection and methodical way that this guy works at is awesome. He’s on a totally different level to most of us. I’m a perfectionist and my restorations have to be just right or I consider them a failure. Therefore watching most other restoration channels leaves me feeling uneasy. With Meine Meckaniker, I can relax and would watch a 4 hour restoration video if he made them that long; they’re that satisfying to watch. May he never outgrow his hobby. Thank you sir, for your inspiring work. 🙏🇦🇺

Depending on the quality of the magnet, the nickel coating does detach with knocks on the edges, several of my smaller neodymium magnets have started to "fall apart" in this way, the edges were too sharp.

I love to see that you use things you've already restored... the press

Did you have to make sure that you put the magnets into the first jaw in one orientation, and the opposite orientation for the second jaw, so they would attract instead of repel when you hold the jaws together back to back?

Note, the magnets are available in washer style and this would avoid the capture of epoxy. Once you break the outer layer of those magnets, they tend to fall apart in my experience. You might also drill a pin hole to allow epoxy to escape. Beautiful work as always.
