I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again — restoration videos are a balm these days — at least for me (and I assume other weirdos like me). There is something particularly wholesome and hopeful about taking something exhausted and broken and giving it new life again.
And one of the best in the business is Eric of Hand Tool Rescue. I could watch these videos for hours.
In this episode, he restores an especially cool old machine, a 1965 “Flymo” hovering lawn mower. I want one of these bad, now.
