Vintage Sled Restoration: Bringing a Classic Snowmobile Back to Life!
#restoration #sledge #snowpiercer
Hello everyone,
In this video, I'll take you through the process of restoring a vintage sled. From start to finish, I'll show you how I repair, refurbish, and rebuild this classic snowmobile, giving it a new lease on life. Whether you're a seasoned woodworker or just starting out in sled restoration, this video will provide valuable insights and tips on how to upgrade and revamp your own sled. So sit back, grab a cup of coffee, and enjoy the ride as I take this antique snowmobile from drab to fab!
Have fun with the video and leave a comment and a like there if you now know how to fix a sled.
As beer I test this time a "Jacobs Weissbier" and I can already say I liked it, but see for yourself

try finding something built this well and with this much care today.
Dude put more care into the resto than original builder. Cleaned the steering weld up to hospital standards!
Never seen a man with that passion for his hobby from old he makes almost new
Nice! A good amount of This Old Tony style 🤣
I couldn't agree more. When he installed the screws with the hammer, that was pure gold.
Thank you both, you got the reference 😊👍
Stunning ❤ When even toys were made with such care, skill and superb quality materials, made to last. I remember having something similar. Flying down the old fire trail many winters in Marshfield, MA USA! Some of the most memorable days of my life 1976-78 🎉❄️☃️🌨
These continue to be the only restoration videos that make me smile and laugh out loud. I thought for sure this one wasn't going to get the "of course it needs to be tested" treatment, but I am so happy to be wrong! I hope this makes its way to the kiddo who got the tricycle, too. At least on loan.
Awesome job. The steering wheel repair was the best part of this one.
You are a beautiful magician by having all those screws screw in at the same time. I laughed my ass off about it and wondered if you believed in it yourself, but the sled turned out beautiful and that with a steering wheel, I had never seen that before.
Mit großer Freude schaue ich Ihre Videos. Respekt, Ihre Geduld und Ihr können scheinen grenzenlos.
Everything about this video was grade A. From the metal and woodwork to all the little details like counter sinking the screws and rounding the sharp corners. It was also pleasant to see an old toy be brought back to life and the memories I had of one similar 60 years ago when I was just a boy. Seeing it an action was the coup d'etat lol.
First and foremost the videography and complete restoration were fabulous. Meticulous work on the runners, bleaching the wood and freshening some of the holes with plugs. Loved the stop motion and the final run down the hill. I have to say that I had the longer version (3 person) of this sled back in 1957 in Otterberg. It had a cowling on the front as I remember but need to look at some of those pictures to remember for sure. Mainly I remember going down the hill next to the house and going off the end of the driveway with about a 10' drop and landing in the potato patch...hard to brake and drive at the same time...;-P. We had it for years and tons of fun until I was a teenager but think Dad sold it then. Thanks for the restoration ride and memories!!
Such a nice story. May I ask where Otterberg is located?
@@NTRprojects Thanks. It's about 115km southwest of Frankfurt Germany and about 10km north east of Kaiserslautern.
the infernal cart. And it is very difficult for a child to drag this miracle of perverted thought up the hill. The restoration is good.
Great video 🇨🇦
Super Arbeit, alle Daumen hoch👍👍👍
Danke Gerald
is it just me (someone who knows nothing about antiques) or is this better than the sleds we have today?! steering wheel and brakes? no more having to hope you dont run into a tree. ❤😂
That beer review was clumsy but the way you poured that Weiss was absolutely SPOT ON
Отличная работа! Видео очень приятно смотреть, чистое наслаждение. За "Нет Войне" конечно особенно большое спасибо.
Beeeeutiful, very well done. It is also nice to hear someone call a slotted screw, slotted and not a "FLAT HEAD".
There were so many positive things in this video that I had to make a note of them all. The stop motion parts all made me smile. That 4-way split effect of all the work done on one piece looked great. I really like that you welded and evened out the cross piece - it made a world of difference. The handle was perfectly matched. It's great seeing all the effort you put into your videos. This sled must have been a huge project, and all your hard work paid off. One of your best videos, making the beer all the more fitting. 👏
Thank you so much for the detailed feedback. Indeed it was a lot of work and I completely underestimated it :D it was supposed to be a quick project between the holidays.... boy was I wrong
this video should stand as a lesson on how to create a totlly watchable video. I love this one, from the opening piece, trough to the beer tasting to the "say no to war" at the end.
A very nice restoration from you...AGAIN. More and more, I think your videos can be classified under the category: "Satisfying videos."
Glad to hear that you liked it so much Adrian White Fang hope there's such a category and I make it one day
Fantastic work. Bravo. When you said you were going to try it out, for a moment I thought you were going to slide down a bobsleigh track... 😀
Gaaaaanz grandios. Ich erinnere mich als Kind auf diesen Teilen bergab gesaust zu sein. Danke für die Erinnerung(en) ! 😊
Geile Restoration und super editing. Die Kirsche war das Aldi Outfit zum Schluss 😂
The red stain was a nice touch. An artful restoration.
Very well done, sir! This was very possibly your finest video to date. I know you poured lots of effort into the editing and production and it shows in the final result. As a bonus to an already great video, you have the new #1 beer review. Finest beer. Finest video. Finest result. Congratulations. PS: I just noticed that all of your screw heads are aligned. I think I'll buy you a beer.
Looking forward to that beer my friend
Just saw you really did. Thank you very much
@@NTRprojectsmy pleasure. Enjoy!
All the special effects with all the 100 screws and such were Great. And I bet it took half a day just for that.
YES PLEASE id love to have some of that beer! amazing work great job on the sled
Sehr schöne Restauration! Die Perücke 🤣 der Burner... Gruß 🐢
Thanks a lot my friend. 🐢
That sled looks really amazing. I have the sudden urge to ride again.
Going up the hill after the ride again was way more exhausting than I remembered it to be
This made me smile a lot. Excellent restoration. Was very happy to see it was well tested haha
I became so fascinated by the restoration of the individual pieces I forgot you were restoring a sled. lol Great work. The sled now looks too nice to be used as a sled.
The steering wheel repair was genius.
Thanks Andy
You are a perfectionist...superb.... feel like watching again n again.
Eine Restauration mit extrem viel Liebe zum Detail! Das Video hat mir sehr viel Spaß gemacht :) Ausgezeichnete Arbeit!
Vielen Dank und danke für den Kommentar CXFFEY
Splendid job and I liked the liberal use of magic even though most of us lack that capability!
Glad to hear that you liked it so much Jozsef
I get excited whenever a notication comes up saying a new video is available from here. I have said it a few times already but you can always rely on a great restoration, great cinema, and being entertained, not another rinse and repeat restoration channel.
Hey Christopher! Thanks a lot for the nice feedback
Been binge watching these while sick 😷 normally I would be at work doing very similar things restoring pianos. Fantastic job, and I love watching!
LOOKIN' GOOD, NICE WORK, KEEP WELL...
Story telling genius!
Thank you very much
I love this video! And I didn't expect, that you will make "testing" video, but here we are - it was great. Thank you for making these videos, they are part of my relaxing routine after rough day at work. Lots of love from Poland ❤
Looks great. I'd love a ride on that. Lol. But, that's not possible. 🙁🙁🇦🇺🇦🇺
Using the air to get the glue in deeper - genius. Loved your editing. Another great restoration. Have fun with it
The slaughter of the dowels. 🥺 Can't we all just get along?
They started it. One of them even gave me a splinter 😁
@@NTRprojects Oh, kill 'em all!!!!
Beautiful restoration ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ absolutely wonderful 😊
You are giving us piece of dreams at each new video ! thank you so much !
I am super impressed, not only with your restoration skills but with your video editing. Well done. Time to change the name of your channel to "Really Good Restorations". :) Also, the design and workmanship of the manufacturer was excellent (for the era).
Woooow,that's amazing, magic !!! That's why I'm watching your content and I subscribed to this channel !!!👍👍👌👌❤❤❤🥇🏆🍾🥂☃️❄❄
The amount of joy that sled must have given, and now it's ready to do the same for another generation of children. Brilliant!
Amazing restoration. I was shocked to see you test it out in the end!!!
Simply outstanding. Not only did you do a fantastic restoration and entertaining video, you actually took out the finished product and used it! It deserves a place of honor in your collection. Glad I found this!
Restauro perfetto, sei bravo amico 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hats off to you my friend WOW WOW!!! 👍👍👍
Glad to hear that you liked it so much Luis Manuel Soberón
I think we can call this your masterpiece, Herr Doktor. Excellent workmanship, and greetings from Florida!
Nice job …bring back some memories for some .keep on doing what your doing.👍👍👍😎😎😎
Echt nicht schlecht. Als ich Kind war stand so ein Schlitten im Schuppen. Würde sich vielleicht lohnen zu machen Deiner sieht jedenfalls top aus. Wirklich sehr eine sehr schöne und gelungene Restauration. Mein Kompliment!!👍👌
Weissbeier is defo my favourite, especially Steigel and Erdinger
Today I had a meissels and I liked it also a lot
Not only was that a beautiful restoration, you did exactly what I wasn't expecting you tested it! Fantastic seeing something that old brought back to life and put to use, I hope you had a blast riding it. Thanks!
Man the spammers are following all my comments for the last few days. Remember report them folks!
Glad to hear that you liked it so much William Borgeson
Thank you sir for this brilliant video
Another very talented job. The steering sled is the greatest.
Very nice restoration.The finished sled looks great.
I'm envious you found one of these so complete and in relatively good condition. Great restoration.
This turned out to be GORGEOUS!
Beautiful work with still had mine God bless you I'll always be watching and praying for you and your family and friends blessings
*_This was excellent. You really went all out. Love the result._*
Thanks a lot for watching and commenting Fully Restoration Solution
Beautiful video, outstanding results. Serious envy of your incredible shop!! You have ALL the toys!
A nostalgic masterpiece to me... Congratulations
WOW. What a great job. YOU did a lot more than what you showed us . Thank you for sharing.
Hey John. Yes you are right, but I had to find an end. The video is a bit too long already :)
Agree with you : NO TO WAR !
That was very cool!
beautiful as always and such high quality work AND documentation of the work.
So awesome! That sled is ready for another 80 years of fun!
You need to test "Rauch bier". Your restoration skills are excellent. The added humor is always amusing.
Will look out for one
Wahnsinn, was du da raus geholt hast! Tolles Ergebnis
Vielen lieben Dank
Fabulous restoration, of course, but the video itself was really, really fun! Great job!
Wie immer einfach Weltklasse ! ✌🏼
Some great visuals in this one.
It was great watching you restore this sled and then test it out. Back in the mid-1960s, the local grocery store in my village held a drawing for one of these sleds and I won it. I was thrilled and had the time of my life that winter and a few winters afterward. Thank you for the memory!
Awesome Stanley and congratulations on your drawing skills 😊👍
Love your videos. Awesome editing. My opinion, one of the best on KZhead. Thanks for sharing.
There are things that are cool and there are things that are super cool! Good job!
I love to watch when you put screws back ! they are so even !
My OCD greets yours :)
The transitions are so smooth and fun! Watching your videos is always a treat :D
What an awesome sled! You did an amazing job on this one.
Per usual, beautiful restoration. Black and red and natural steel all look so beautiful. The natural steel look gives it that extra accent that makes it pop, in my opinion. Thank you for the video.
What a killer restoration! And I love the little stop-motion animation parts. Well done!
I totally agree 💯
Made me laugh for sure. Very entertaining
Excellent restoration 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻regards from Armenia 🇦🇲
You took more care and pride in that sled than the man that originally crafted it. Beautiful work as always. Danke!
Thank you for the compliments Joel
Nearly perfect. Thanks.
>enjoyable video....I like your whimsical editing style. The split screen view showing beginning to end process was effective. But that beer looked like mud😄
It did but it tasted awesome
Renaissance Man ....good work ...interesting to watch
This is a beautiful work sir well done assume work every detail was well done perfect 👍👍👍👍
Whoa, what a cool sled and an amazing restoration!
Glad to hear that you like it. Thanks for watching
I think this is your best video yet. 👍
Thank you Daniel
Keep up the great work and you’ll be at a million subscribers by the end of this year!
Amazing!
As always you made a very good restoration, you also searched new techniques, you showed us something interesting, you used all the available tools to reach perfection but the video editing you outdid yourself.
Just magical! What a wonderful result.
Now that a cool design for a sled.
Very nice work. Love the fact that it still looks "antique" (only very well maintained) rather than "as new" like some restaurateurs would do. Only doubt the single screw hook for the cord will hold if you pull a couple of kids on it - but hey.
Very, very nicely done. A great restoration and not terrible at all.👍
Nice Job! Also on the editing! Keep it up :)
Golden hands👏👍
Klasse Arbeit und toller Schnitt 👍
