Very pretty but over 30hrs restoring a ratchet 
They must have plenty of spare time and would anyone want to use it afterwards?
Suppose it could be mounted on a piece of Mahogany for a retirement present or similar

The my mechanics channel is in a similar vein, but more about restoring functionality with a side of pristine craftmanship.

Brilliant - but pointless - restoration. Very well executed and well put together video - but - get the tool fixed = 1 hour, restore to this
incredible level = over 30 but I guess a lot more, hmm, at £25/hour that would cost £750? I would go for the 1 hour fix. Excellent video though and
very entertaining

Thanks for posting the link Steve - I had an enjoyable time watching it , I do watch TV but when the boss goes to bed I can have an hour or so
watching You Tube entertainment like yourself, maybe occasionally more than an hour - although I will deny that the following day !

The video is well made and the person has quite some commitment to their cause.
I do ask why though?
Seems you'd end up with a display item rather than a tool for doing anything with. I'm all for respecting tools and keeping them clean
and tidy, but there's a limit!

You'll find with these kinds of YouTube channels the creator is now paid enough from YouTube, patrons and sponsors that this is their main
income. So is spending 30 hours rebuilding an old tool plus all the hours editing worth it? Totally when you make your living from your videos.
Personally I liked it more before it was "restored" and would have just wire brushed it and removed the slop. But that would have been a
bit boring.
