Congratulations, this is one of the finest restorations I’ve ever seen. The amount of time and effort put into recording and editing is amazing. It’s nice to see someone willing to take on a project like this with such attention to detail. You must have had special parenting.
-
Incredible, as everyone below has already said. The scary part of all that is how you managed to keep track of all the gears, shims, clips. And the finishing work...so many layers of fillers and ... the polishing. WOW. I think I'd really hate to get it oily and covered in chips. SO WELL DONE. A true piece of mechanical art.
-
Oh my gosh, you turned this into a work of art! Wow!

Came for the restoration, left because of the music.

That's a lot of work, attention to every detail, but the result is amazing, congratulations

Wow, that's some gorgeous rebuild footage. Love the paint job, and excellent color choice!

This is hands down my favorite restoration video. The amount of talent you have blows my mind.
-
I enjoyed every second of this restoration video. What a great restoration. Well done.

This old Tony might have something to say about you messing around with his time machine lol
-
Man, that is gorgeous! Love the colour choice. Good on you for spending the time.

Beautiful restoration. Thank you for sharing it with us and bringing a great piece of equipment back to its original state.

Mate that's not just a simple restoration. It's heroic dedication to the last detail! I really admired your step by step working progress. I wouldn't have the patience and persistence to do anything close to this. This is a charisma you 've got, for real! Greetings form Greece!
-
that finish is simply stunning.
-
That was spellbinding stuff! You’re commitment to the work is inspiring stuff 👍🏻🔥

A thing of beauty. Bought an old Colchester master that needs a restoration. After watching this I have an appreciation of attention to detail that is needed and feel like it is to big a job for the amount of time and skills I have thus far. Thanks for sharing.

Absolutely outstanding!!!! One of THE best restorations I've seen.
-
Honestly one of the most satisfying things I have seen in a long time, makes me wish I hadn't left the machining industry. Great job though, absolutely stunning piece of kit. Its always good to see those doing it for the passion and not just for the money. :-)
-
I have counted the number of skills/trades required to undertake a restoration of this is kind let alone the filming and editing and considering the relatively young age of the restorer makes it an even more incredible and remarkable achievement. Well done that man

Clausing Colchester is one of the best high quality machine brands in the world. And what you did to this one makes it even better. You have the gift, that much is certain

Nice job. :) Those old Colchester's are the true workhorses of the trade. The company where I apprenticed as a fitter back in'93-'96 had 3 Colchester Triumph 2000's. God, I miss having access to those...
