OT: YouTube restoration video

My favorite YouTube channel for restoration videos is from a Swiss guy. His channel is called My Mechanics.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMr...FW6O0-MWq26gqw

Does anyone have another suggestion for a similar channel? I have looked at others, but they don't seem to have the same quality of work this guy does.

kiwisimon,
I like how fast the video goes at the tear down phase. I wish he would have slowed down for some of those steps on reassembly. But he does good work.

this is a digest. If you click on the links you can see each stage in detail.
BUT warning: time vacuum and the urge to buy a metal lathe can linger.

I din't realize these videos were a thing until recently. Oddly satisfying.

Thanks

Hand Tool Rescue is my favourite. Diresta does some resto work (all his vids are amazing). Then there are AvE or ThisOldTony and Abom79 who are just amazing for anyone interested in machining, tools etc. Also Stefan Gotteswinter or madeinpoland.

Thorough resto Swiss Style, then you'll dig "jenni swiss"
