"3 hour virtual tutorial on refinishing a bb gun"!!!😂😂😂
Lmao @ the testing gear!!! Also, I thought the Damascus was achieved by layering the metals, then forging them together... Like on Forged in Fire.🙈
He’s got another 23 minute video on how he improved the sheen and protection on his coffee pot he purchased in the late 90s.
Are you going to display that beast in the back window or your pickup now? edit - safety first
Safety First ! The dry humor had me nearly in tears. The 3x layers of PPE at the end was pure gold.
No chances this time
Cam, Safety first, that $20.00,1980s BB gun restoration turned out pretty damn nice. Thank you for taking time to film, edit and post this video.
Thanks man!
Safety first! I'm a safety engineer and you just made my day. LOVELY rebuild of that nice BB gun. Keep it up.
Safety first, you’ll shoot your eye out.
Safety first is overrated, you gonna drink the coffee?
Safety first: Give the coffee to your rose and azalea bushes. The acid is good for them, strawberries, tomatoes and pine trees too.
Hes gonna sip water from that Rockstar can. Important to stay hydrated you know.
😅😅😅
More of an energy drink guy
I too heard that you have to drink the coffee after you soak Damascus in it and that it will make the Damascus stand out more. Something to do with the stomach acids
That is probably the prettiest daisy I have ever seen. Restored a few older ones from my Dad. You do things like this not for money, but the sentiment of the artifact and to learn as you go. VERY well done.
Safety Last! Cool restoration. Doesn’t matter how much it is worth or not worth, since this was from your childhood it has immeasurable worth to you, Cam. And that is all that matters. And hey, your BB gun is a real shooter as well.
Agreed!
Safety first…. Or perhaps fun first. Had that BB gun 48 years ago, still bring back memory when watching you restoring that same gun
Safety first……I always enjoy watching your videos. Nice work, Cam.
Very nice! I plan to watch this with my Father! While as a youngin' I had a .22 rifle before I had a BB gun and when I finally purchased one it was actually .20 cal Benjamin Sheridan Pellet rifle but I remember two of these Daisy's hanging in the open ceiling of our basement that were my fathers as a child. I think next time he visits I'll tell him to bring those with him, then show him this and tell him we're going to restore his. Thank you!
Safety first my man! That walnut is absolutely stunning and what a fun project.
Safety first certainly happened here. Thanks for sharing Cam. Beautiful restoration/ modification of a truly legendary peice of history. 😅 The wood choice and Damascus are spot on.
Safety first, this video made feel pride at being a proud owner of a Red Rider BB gun. It was how I introduced my kids into the fun of shooting. Great videos of wood working, I particularly enjoy the creativity. I’ve enjoyed many videos including the mammoth tusk. Keep up the good work and “don’t shoot your eye out”.
Safety first! Everything is worth whatever you can get someone to pay you for it. Things you make for yourself out of love are priceless. Thanks for another great video. Looking forward to putting your table course that I received for Christmas to work!
Safety first! At the end when you’re talking to camera guy and you look at him and shake the bbgun, I was instantly transported back to 5th grade in my back yard.
Love it! Still have all my childhood bb/pellet guns. Safety first!
Safety first and your BB Gunn looks fabulous!! Thank you🤗
Safety first…if anything, you renovated a priceless masterpiece! Kudos to you, brother👊🏼
Safety first! Makes me wish I still had mine from when I was a kid. It would be a fun refinishing project. Cam, it really turned out great! Thank you!
Loved the video. I remember those BB guns. They were accurate as it looks like yours still is. Enjoy it Cam. I wouldn’t worry about the naysayers. You did a heckuva job on your rebuild . 👍👍👍
Safety first - we truly love your matter of fact, don’t care what you think dead pan attitude. Makes this channel just perfect for us x
Safety First - this was awesome. Always wanted to try it on some old guns. Love your content!
Safety first! Adding the damascus lever was a great touch!
Safety First! This was fun to watch - thanks Cam. I always use the bluing solution on copper pipes etc in the house when they have to be surface mounted, way better look than paint. Is my go-to also for mild steel railings, can't beat it in my humble opinion! BB gun looks terrific and is worth way more than it was in so many ways ;)
Safety first...now I am inspired to do the same thing to my Daisy from the mid-70s. It hasn't worked in years, but now I have a reason to tear into it. I also like the change of pace this video provided. Awesome stuff per usual...
Safety First! That thing looks amazing! I remember when I got my Daisy BB gun at 13, and I spent so much time shooting soda cans in my back yard. Keep up the great work!
Safety first... You are the BEST. Your sense of humor is fantastic.
Safety first! I just ordered the Daisy Red Ryder BB gun today for 90€ 😂 I'm planing to replace the wood stock with a mahogany stock my father made, from an old window/door frame, around 35 years ago for us to play with. Just the bare wood stock and imagination was enough back then 😂. I kept it all the years and I will surprise him after I've finished the modifications. Thanks for this inspiring video! And all your other content as well, I think I nearly watched all your videos. Greetings from Germany
Safety First! What an Awesome Rebuild! Magic !!!
Safety first. Awesome little project. Well done!
Safety first... Loved it Miss my Daisy BB gun mine was 50+ years old when I finally gave her away.
That turned out beautiful. I'm getting ready to do my childhood Daisy BB gun so thanks for the ideas.
Safety first! Totally agree with the sentiment around the Daisy over the red ryder. I had a Daisy too!
Safely first, another outstanding job you have done. Im 61 and I still have my daisy BB gun. Now im thinking about restoring mine.
Safety first! I’ll venture it’s worth way more. Super fun video - thanks for bringing it back!
I love how you put safety first in your videos. I’m impressed. I think there are some parallels to our approach to carpentry. I’m a union carpenter out of Portland and I am a little quirky about my tools. I’ll spend extra time making or modifying a tool to make it perfect for me. Nobody seems to appreciate it like I do until they need it and they stop giving me a hard time till they give it back. It’s funny.
I would proudly display that BB gun, absolutely added value!
Safety first. A joy as always! Beautiful restoration and what better thing to restore than a beloved fave from your childhood? 😁
That is honestly one of the most beautiful guns I've ever seen period. That Damascus lever and wood stock looks amazing. Safety third!
Safety first, I am actually going through gunsmith school and planning on a similar project with my childhood daisy buck so this is awesome inspiration
Safety first as always! Great project!
Safety first! That was so totally over the top it defines the term. We all had one of those Daisy BB guns. I got mine about 1972 or so. Too bad it’s long gone, because I would use an exotic wood blanket too.
Safety first, great job with this restoration or as some may say ( modification). I enjoyed watching and personally thought it was funny as well as informative. At the end of the day it belongs to you and as long as you're happy then that's all that matters. Keep up the good work!
Safety First!!! lol well done. Knowing the N3 Nano is good on wood and metal is game changing. Thanks!
SAFETY FIRST You have inspired me to start restoration on the two similar Daisy BB guns I have. One was my Grandfather's and the other was my Dad's and I shot both when I was a child in the 1960s. I really don't know when they were made/purchased but they both are at least pre-1965! Both have been in my basement since 1985 and have a good layer of surface rust. THANKS for re-posting this video! SAFETY FIRST
Safety first, great little project. Means nothing but sure is fun. Keep on keepin on...
Safety first. Absolutely a trip down memory lane seeing that gun.
SAFETY FIRST! Anything that has sentimental value is priceless to the owner.
Oh wow! I’ve got an old 22 that was my grandpas and then my dad’s and is now mine that has been needing the wood refinished for many decades. They both had a lot of fun with it before I got it. I’d love to have it done
safety first. I liked the stock. brings back some nice memories! Thanks for the video.
Outstanding !!! my childhood memories revolved around that item along with siblings and cousins !! Enjoyed the video !
Safety first. I'm positive you've added value because we now appreciate it as well as you. That and it was stunning esp the stock
Safety First, Cam!!! I loved what you've done here. The final finish really came up well!
safety first and man I've been a big fan for a few years I live here in the UK and am just starting college going onto to a furniture making course and your videos have been a massive inspiration to me man and one day I'd love to own a business like yours
Safety first, man that brought back so many amazing memories me. I loved my BB gun and the adventures we went on. I could write a book. Awesome restoration.
safety first, Oh man, love it! I restored my old BB gun a few years ago and now I want to do it again and better it up. I think my BB gun is older than me. No idea when my dad got it. I am in my late 40's. It has no power what-so-ever, but it is definitely an item of importance to me. Thanks for sharing this.
Safety first, always. But i love these odd jobs. Adds some spice to the channel.
This must've been such a nostalgic and fun project!!! Really enjoyed watching this restoration video.
Safety first. I never thought of doing this. But this has inspired me to do it to my son’s old BB gun. Thanks 😊
Safety FIRST! Just gotta say... well done, young man! She's a beauty! Unless your bb gun was number 1 or, possibly the very last one, no problems! Just my opinion. Hope you have more years of fun with your project! 👍👍
Safety First! Great video, made me wish I still had my identical childhood Daisy!
Safety first. Value when from priceless to priceless
Safety first! What a great project. I loved the video.
Safety first, Cam the BB Gun turnout absolutely amazing would love to do this to my childhood BB gun thanks for sharing. Glad to see you were flowing all the firearm safety rules when you fired the BB gun 🥹 great video
Safety first! And the range was truly hot! Said this old grandma.
Safety First. KZhead is in no place to ban videos based on content. What they let through is a travesty, while they still restrict great content. I enjoy your channel, thank you for making the content that you do.
Safety First, Safety Third, Just Safety is important. Great restoration project and childhood memory, my dad gave me his Daisy when I was young. Had lots of fun with it 😁
Safety first: I love the way it turned out - the gnarly stock and the gun-metal finish on the barrel is just amazing! And I definitely like that you went overkill with the materials used. Screw the haters and keep up the good work 🔥
safety first. i like these little side projects that are quite different from the table builds but just as entertaining.
Safety last. Another Blacktail gem.
Safety first. Loved the video and the content. I am inspired to do the same to my childhood gun for my kids. Thank you.
Safety first is great as long as you are not made blind by your efforts, Sir. Love your videos and your humor.
Safety First. Awesome job, hope you do more restoration videos in the future. Not just wood restoration but all kinds.
Safety first. I see no problem with youn having fun with an old toy. I really enjoyed the change of pace
Safety First! Keep up the good work! Love restoration videos like that.
That is one nice stock. Excellent video. Thank You
Safety Something Something... That is a lovely piece of walnut. Woodworkers the world over will use this video to justify keeping barns full of offcuts.
Very good you can have fun like this. Beautiful stock. Nice change from everyone doing tables. Thank you for your content.
Safety first! It came out looking awesome!
Very nice work... wish my old Daisey looked that nice... I bought one from my cousin in 1968 for 2 dollars. .. it was the most accurate bb gun I've ever had.. When I went in the military my mom gave it to my next door neighbor.. I was upset to say the least... Again, very nice work, that stock looks amazing... Take care...
Safety third! Awesome job Cam, as always!
safety first is always the way to go mate lol. love the restoration / modification. i did a similar thing to my Leinfield WW1 rifle back in the 90s.
Safety first. This is a fun project that’s a little different from your standard fare. I hope to see more such videos in the future!
Safety first - in my part of the world I only hear of a BB gun (sorry if that the wrong spelling) on American TV shows, it was good to see it, and even better to see the restoration, a childhood toy give great love. 🇬🇧
I live in Belgium, for us a BB gun was a spring loaded plastic gun replica that shot plastic BB's. Basically an airsoft gun. Nowhere near as powerful as that American gun.
I think it looks friggin great! Keep doing what makes you happy and folks like me will keep watching.
DUDE!!!.......you did an excellent job on that gun. beautiful work.........my compliments!
Safety first, great video Cam!! Love this resto on the daisy
Safety first, great comments. Had a few good laughs. Thanks
Awesome build, and nice shooting! A lot of people close one eye but its better to keep them both open as you demonstrated.
Safety first. Looks like a fun project. Turned out great
Safety first! I still have my 1st Daisy bb gun. It's 45 years old now and still not worth anything. I love what you did with the forearm and stock.
Safety First! Love this video and I think the final product looks AMAZING!
Safety first -- from spray paint to cold blue and Walnut - you quadrupled the value! Nice work. My Daisy Buffalo Bill BB gun was shot to pieces - literally!
Safety first! I think your restoration of that BB gun is great! As far as I'm concerned, if you're happy with your work, then it was a success!
Safety First! I've got a few rifles that you've just encouraged me to "restore". Rather, to make look better than original. Thank you.
Safety First the only thing I’ve kept since my childhood is memories of wanting a cabbage patch doll that I never got 😢 loved the finished look
Safety First! Beautifully done ✅
Safety first! Beautiful work!
Safety first, that is absolutely awesome and I will be doing the same to mine! I have the older 70s version of that rifle
Safety first. That was awesome brother. Love the gun stock
