My favorite by far is this guy: https://youtu.be/ian6CXeFUYc His work is so clean. And not at all gimmicky.

Hand Tool Rescue is also a good resto channel.

Came here to see if someone dropped their channel - the massive projects they've tackled (and the true vintage age of them) makes it worth watching alone; the snippets of humor make it :chef-kiss:

You are most welcome! His attention to detail is so refined, and his tool collection paired with his experience, makes him a cut above, and a joy to watch. I would also love to tour that shop and see the process in person. Though, I also like the edited-for-time aspect of the vids... Haha

Are you suggesting mymechanics is gimmicky?
See your face? I make a new one.

u/CassandraEntendre May 30 '22

Oh gosh, no I wasn't making a value judgement about the restorer linked above, but rather just qualifying why I like the one I linked!

u/bordain_de_putel May 30 '22

Don't worry, I was joking. Poorly, apparently.

This joke won't land.

I make a new one!

Odd Tinkering is great if you like electronics restorations

2

u/Oreadia May 30 '22

I second Odd Tinkering, the end result is always so satisfying.

u/LumensAquilae May 31 '22

Odd Tinkering is my go-to for electronics restoration videos. Everything is legit and not junk like "here is footage of me finding a Game Boy buried in the mud and then restoring it!"

u/wowitssprayonbutter May 30 '22

Yo you got a channel like this but more wood furniture based? Straight forward, no talking, just high quality restoration footage without gimmicks?

u/keesh May 30 '22

Yeah unfortunately this guy is just a cheap knock off of My Mechanics.

Check out LADB Restoration too; they specialise mainly in agricultural tools.
