  It blows my mind that some kid in the 1900s sharpened his pencil with this and 120 years later it would be cleaned with a laser.

  could you imagine someone from 1906 watching someone destroy rust with a futuristic synth-sounding laser cannon

  I'm a laser operator at my job, and I am constantly reminding my coworkers in assembly that if they have any rusty tools, I can clean them up real quick, dven personal ones. No one has taken me up on it yet, So I'm glad to see it here!

  That&apos;s the oldest pencil sharpener I&apos;ve ever seen. Its always so cool to watch you remake old parts that have worn out or are missing. Amazing job!

  Honestly the most commendable thing here is you restoring the old logo<br>I&apos;ve seen so many channels restore old stuff and either never care for the original maker or, even worse, put their own logo on the thing<br>You did an spectacular job on this, and the results clearly speak for themselves, now immortalized in this video, more than any logo ever could

  I just love these old sharpeners, they seem so over-engineered for the problem, but nevertheless they always work beautifully! Well done on recreating the missing parts and making this one whole again.

  You took a beautiful hand crafted 125 year old machine and shot it with a laser gun. &nbsp;Take that history.

  Dude who are you? You&apos;re not just a restorer but a mechanical engineer, machinist and a designer. You&apos;re definitely someone big outside of these videos. Wow!

  I thought this was going to be one of your easier restorations. The amount of craftsmanship and talent is amazing. You are a very clever person. Brilliant video.

  Some soldering tips, firstly use a smaller torch, secondly don&apos;t directly heat the joint, you burned away all the flux, heat the back side of the metal and let the heat flow into the joint. Also try cutting up small pieces of solder and placing them on the join rather than trying to poke a long piece of solder wire into it.
