An antique wooden sled from the 1940s got my father when he was little. The sledge lay in the ground all the time. I came across them during the reconstruction of the land. The perfect project for a new video.
The rohačka sleigh, once an integral part of the inventory of every proper mountain cottage in the Giant Mountains or in their foothills before the invasion of motor vehicles, is today a historical curiosity of lively interest for both the local population, weekend cottages and guests of mountain resorts. Their forgotten last specimens are discovered with joy in the various «stalks» of the barns, where they escaped the orderly and liquidating attention of previous generations. The sent glory of wild rooster rides to us is heard not only from written records taken in the last century, but sometimes also occasionally from the mouths of witness narrators. After all, even after the Second World War, wood was approached in some parts of the mountains by them. It is generally said that this versatile and simple means of transport was already known and used by Gendorfs lumberjacks, which Mr. Kryštof brought from the Alps and settled in the Giant Mountains in the 16th century. Rohačky were used mainly in winter, but they often came to honor even in summer on steep slopes during haymaking.
The first written descent on a sledge took place in 1737 during the return from the expedition to the Little State. The report of the first purely tourist exit has been preserved from 1815. It was on a 7 km long route, leading from the border hut on the Przełęcz Okraj saddle (Grenzbaude) to the Pod Złotą Gwiazdą inn in Kowary. This attraction was constantly gaining new fans. In 1896, about 3,000 stag beetles and the same number of draft horses were prepared for tourists. An association of carriages was even formed, defending their interests and regulating fares on individual routes. Additional infrastructure has been developed, new border crossings and customs have been set up. Tourism became a mass affair, which was undoubtedly influenced by the commissioning of railway lines connecting the Giant Mountains with Berlin and Wrocław in 1866. Winter sleigh rides, similar to the summer ascent to Sněžka, were among the most popular tourist attractions in the Giant Mountains. Fares, depending on the length of the route, ranged from 5 to 16 marks and followed a fixed price list.
Josef Tylš, a forester from Červený vrch, came up with the idea of resuming rides on old timber sleighs from Malá Úpa to Kowar, which were run here at the beginning of the 19th century to amuse the manor and increase the money of the highlanders. Under his leadership, in 1999, the editorial office became the organizer of the zero — trial congress from customs to Kowar. And the descents to Kowary are held regularly, the beginning is not in Pomezní Boudy, but about 3 km lower in the direction of Kowary. The goal is then in Jelenia Góra.

This time I´m restoring an old military watch from the WW2-Era.
It´s a Sanford with an AS 1123 movement.
The watch is in a really bad condition. The chrome-plating of the case is heavy damaged, the glass is scratched the movement is full of dirt and stops repeatedly.
I need to grind off the old chrome. After sanding and polishing the case, it´s ready for a new chrome-plating. But i need to add a layer of nickel before. The glass will be polished and the movement cleaned. Unfortunately the old radium-compound on the hands fell off so i need to re-lume the hands with super-luminova. I will add some coffee to it to make it more «vintage-looking».
After everything is cleaned, polished and re-plated, I can re-assemble the movement with some fresh oil. After that, this watch is in a good beat ( 6 seconds per day) again.
I hope you liked this restoration, if so, like, comment and subscribe ;)

I bought this vise pretty much 1.5 years ago together with the other Gressel bench vise I already restored and made a video. I also payed $20 for this one. Since then it was laying aroung in my basement. I always knew that Ill restore this one as well, just because its a Gressel and it will totally worth to safe it from the trash.
This one wasnt that rusty like the other one, but it was also completely deadlocked. The handle was beaten up and bent. The jaws, some screws and two pieces to hold the spindle were missing. The pin that secures the spindle from turning was broken. Because of all that the spindle fell out. This vise has two threads and two concentric bushings to keep the jaws in place. Talking to Gressel I found out that this method was only produced until 1960, so its at least 60 years old now. It could be from 1943, as both parts had a „43“ stamped on them. As these original jaws are getting no longer produced, I decided to drill an extra hole between the threads to be able to use new jaws. Gressel was so nice to send me new flat jaws. All the bare surfaces were in really bad condition due to heavy use, thats why I decided to weld up material and clean all these surfaces on the milling machine. I replaced the handle with a new one, but I used the old rounded ends again which turned out great. I later secured the ends with Loctite when reassembling. I also made the two missing screws and the broken pin out of the old handle. I choose to paint the whole vise the same color as the movable jaws from the new Gressel vises are, cobalt blue (RAL5013). I think it turned out very well, the white lettering, the shiny bare spots and the black parts match very well.
I hope you like my work and the video.

In this video im restoring an antique Stanley hand plane.
My friend has found this very old Stanley hand plane at the steel waste. When I saw it the first time at his place I wanted to restore it immediately, so I bought it for $10. This Stanley no. 122 hand plane was manufactured from 1877 until 1918, its at least 101 years old. This plane is from the „liberty bell“ series, they were first produced in 1876 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776). Thats the reason why the liberty bell is imprinted on the lever cap.
As Im not a woodworker at all and Ive never used a hand plane before in my life, I had to do a lot of research how this thing even works to understand the function of each part. It turned out that the iron and the backing iron were assembled wrongly and there was also one part missing, which holds both of these parts together. As the iron was an original Stanley part, it wasnt the correct one for this plane. The bigger hole in the slot was on the wrong end, thats why I made a new one.
I tried to keep as many parts as possible original on this restoration. I only replaced two small screws, made the missing part and a new iron.
I hope you like my work and the video.

I purchased this 1940s Marx Seversky P-35 Toy Fighter Plane on eBay November of 2020. It was missing the propeller and prop mount up front, the paint was basically gone and rusted away. The rear wheel had been replaced with a really poor rubber wheel. Overall this was a perfect restoration candidate. I made many new parts and nickel plated most of them. The propeller mount I made out of a tube and capped it then powder coated it. My sand blaster clogged up a little bit during filming and I had to take it all apart to clean it out. Thanks again for watching!
In this video im restoring an old broken and rusty Padlock.
This Padlock was sent to me by one of my subsrcibers from Italy. Right when I saw the picture I knew I want to restore this lock and I was impatiently waiting for the package to arrive. I found out that his padlock was made in Germany by Kamp in the 1930s. The lock was very rusty, the key was missing and it seemed to be broken. It was also very rusty inside, all moving parts were stuck and the closing mechanism was broken. Due to the amount of damage on the case due to rust I decided to paint it. This way I can use filler to achieve a nice finish, otherwise Id had to sand all pitting off and there was just not enough material left to do so. The plates from the mechanism were damaged a lot too, but they were all still functional. So I only removed all sharp edges and gave them a nice bluing finish for rust protection. The aluminium part, where the key comes in was damaged a lot too and had a lot of play in the case. If I would sand it clean it would get even more play. For those reasons I decided to make a new one, I choose bronze because it would fit better to the overall look at the end. Making the key was quite a challenge, but it turned out very well and it actually worked. In my opinion the padlock turned out very well and Im very happy with the endresult.
I hope you like my work and the video.
