I liked the play on words to get you to "Baby Hippo" almost as much as the restoration, Martin. I was surprised after all of the gunk was removed to see what looked like a steel casing. From there adding the fine layer of gold was a nice touch. It's basically a tarnish free brass look. ❤😊

Absolutely amazing zen video. I won't miss any. Your work is FAR ahead of all other "restoration" videos. 99% of restorations videos on youtube are only about rough file > disc sander. The authors practically destroy all the patina, they don't bother with anything. Not you. Every thing, every object breathes again... comes to life. Your videos are elaborate, great sense of humor and results. Thanks a lot! Looking forward to seeing the next video.

I remember mentioning to you some time ago when you restored a Zippo lighter that my nickname in college was Zippo, because I was a cigarette smoker back in the day and carried a Zippo windproof and was always handy with my lighter, lighting cigarettes and other rolled items (1970-71) and the folks nicknamed me Zippo. I never saw one this small and it was a great restoration and engraving. I hope you and yours are healthy and safe and I'll toast you with a KC Bier Co. Munich-style Dunkel. Cheers from this old retired coot living the dream in Tennessee.
