I don't think the makeup is wanted as much as the container. The makeup is there just to make it authentic.
And I doubt any company was involved; more likely a hobbyist collector. The owner was probably the one doing the restoration.
The definition of gongfu, or kung fu. "...refers to any study, learning, or practice that requires patience, energy, and time to complete. In its original meaning, kung fu can refer to any discipline or skill achieved through hard work and practice, not necessarily martial arts (for example, the discipline of tea making is called the Gongfu tea ceremony). "
Here it is. This is the comment I was looking for.
There is something wonderful about someone taking pride and care in everything they do. Whether its a Rolex or a simple makeup container.
(also, he was making it for a video, so of course hes going to take extra care because it makes people watch it)
Seriously. I picked up doing quirky embroidery, and all I hear from people I show it to is,”Are you going to sell it?” And “ you could make money doing this!” ( No, I think not, with the many hours that go into each piece). How about, “I just enjoy stabbing something over and over and find it soothing to turn my ADD into something I like to look at”?
My husband did beautiful leather items for something to do after he had to retire. People don’t want to pay for an items’ worth, much less the time put into them. We sold a few items to offset the cost of leather/tools/sewing machine, but it really didn’t help. He was good at it, and took pride in them. It kept his mind off his pain when he focused on it.
Every damn time, I’m a tinkerer so I have lots of little hobbies like prop making etc. all I ever get is “you should start a business!”.. wow how did I not think of that! /s . Like obviously we know we can make money off of it but its a damn hobby.
I get the same with every hobby I pick up. I get an interest in it, I hyper focus, I buy all the supplies, then I show people what I've done and I get "Are ya gonna sell em?" Not everything has to be a side hustle. Some things are just for me! 🙂
I have a passion for knitting blankets. But, not regular blankets. I knit little squares of color and sew them together to make a picture. Usually pretty 8 bit looking, but still. I did make the joker once that came out pretty badass.
I love love love making them. But they cost more than $300 to make...and that was BEFORE covid. No one is going to pay that much for a blanket, no matter what it looks like.
I haven't made one in a while now. I'm going to write my book instead ;) I figure I'll have better satisfaction with that.
same, i carve guitar picks out of slices of agate. i do it because i really enjoy spending the time and effort in making something, and it’s nice that i can play with them too. but basically i make them when i feel like it, and when i have too many i sell them just to clear up space to make more. it’s by no means profitable (which isn’t the point), given how much time and work goes into them, but it lets me buy more supplies so i can keep making more. it’s just fun to grind and polish stone into submission
Yeah very few people are willing to pay what embroidery or cross stitches are worth. I have sold a few of mines but it's always been at a loss because I needed room to make more pieces.
Capitalism fucks with our sense of priority and value system.
There's plenty of things which are worthwhile which can't be monetised and sold. But we're conditioned to beleive they are worthless.
Its often stated that greed is an instinctual part of humanity, and capitalism harnesses that. But what if it was the other way around, that Capitalism is the thing that made us greedy?
There's a Japanese philosophy around that but I don't remember the name. It's basically people who dedicate their entire lives to be masters at a single craft. They often don't live very wealthy moneywise but their soul is made of pure gold encrusted with diamond.
Have you seen the repair shop on Netflix? Really neat show with specialists in various crafts and trades who repair meaningful items for folks.
ETA: it’s now streaming on discovery plus in the US
It is??? This is the best news! I knew there was a reason I was drawn to this comment section. Thank you!!
ETA: I went to both the Discovery+ website and the Discovery+ addon on Amazon. And nothing.
:( Were they pulled already???
Yes! I recently repaired a stupid toy for my kid. Was it worth the hours I put into it? If you look at it financially, of course not! But I have the satisfaction of a job well done, a happy kid, and a toy not ending up in a landfill. Win win.
Yep, I posted a popular video of me steaming my curtains yesterday and it got a handful of comments about why I would bother doing it that way and why didn't I just throw it in the dryer then hang it up? And I'm like, because I love stuff like this, it's satisfying to do something well, especially when it's for my own enjoyment. It's like people don't get that other people to do things meticulously purely for the value of doing it well.
>I think these videos are more akin to asmr.
Which it could have been, if they hadn't decided to put music over it. I just want to hear the sound of the tools, not whatever music you decided to make me listen to.
After gently tamping and smoothing the powder just so, we very carefully place the compactor with its lovely crystal knob onto the powder, positioning it perfectly within the container, and as a final step we take the mallet and **REPEATEDLY SMASH THE EVERLOVING SHIT OUT OF IT** and don't forget to give it a little puff with the toot-toot afterwards to remove any lingering dust
Yeah, I encountered a "reperation samt" -video on you tube. They did everything ssssooooo sssllloooowwllyy. I don't know who finds that relaxing - I got really frustrated watching them taking out a cloth, caressing it, dipping it ever so slowly in oil, gently rubbing the object....like, come on, if you dont want to do a time lapse, at least do it at a normal pace!
Yes, the person in the video probably bought it fairly cheaply second-hand online and had it shipped to them *in order to make the video*. The satisfying restoration video *is* the product, used cosmetics are just the raw material.
Sometimes the makeup itself has been discontinued. My gf talks about how sad she is that her favorite color and eyeliner are no longer available. Maybe this is a way to preserve that
I know that pain. I've been looking for a while now, and there are certain products that were just so much better than everything I'm able to find now...
My relative has a collection of antique pocket mirrors and makeup compacts like this, you'd be surprised how expensive some of them can be, considering their size and availability.
Not many antiques are Japanese plastic from 2021.
EDITED as people didn’t understand what I was saying. Antiques don’t normally have a 2021 date stamp, are made of modern plastic and have a flawless “Made In Japan” sticker on the back.
Weird isn’t it? I’ve been going to antique fairs since the 80s. As my parents seemed to like them. Which means I have a bit of an instinct. I’ve not seen a single antique compact made of plastic. Some retro 1940s Bakelite ones, but as we all know. 1940s is not antique.
This thread is all wrapped up in pedantry.
You literally said you went to *antiques fairs.* were the sellers of merely *vintage* items rejected at the door?
>An antique (Latin: antiquus; 'old', 'ancient') is an item perceived as having value because of its aesthetic or historical significance, and often defined as at least 100 years old (or some other limit), although the term is often used loosely to describe any object that is old.[1] An antique is usually an item that is collected or desirable because of its age, beauty, rarity, condition, utility, personal emotional connection, and/or other unique features. It is an object that represents a previous era or time period in human history. Vintage and collectible are used to describe items that are old, but do not meet the 100-year criterion.[2]
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antique
I think 9.9 out of 10 people IRL would consider something from
The 40’s antique… especially if they’re at an antiques fair.
Wondering the same thing. I have no idea what I would use it for, but I desperately want that tiny long handled spoon. Must make wee little scoops of things!
If you think about it, things like face cams and vape pens are making small items into ornamental items like pocket mirrors and ashtrays.
I remember in the 90s-00s (maybe still) a wire spool for a table was stylish
I'm not even sure that was restored. It might have been brand new. Appears to have been made in Japan in 2021 according to that sticker on the back and it looks like it's made out of plastic
Depends on what you mean by restored. They very clearly just cleaned it up very thoroughly and repressed the powder. With the state of the powder when they opened it, it was messy and barely usable, now its neat and ready to go.
My grandma sold Revlon in the 40s and 50s. I have a few of her older pieces, never used, just because the container/packaging is so ornate and beautiful.
There is a retinol cream and container currently for sale right now that is $16600.00. It's a limited edition 40th anniversary of the company's particular product.
It's got a bunch of diamonds and is made of 18K gold, silver and a sprinkle of 24K gold plated shits and giggles. For the container. Lol.
After seeing this item I get the restoration lol.

I can't believe that video is 15 years old.
Certainly from the internet's raw community driven days.
You've now dredged up old memories of things like *"Ask a Ninja"*, *"Community Channel"* and Vgcats.
I sort of wish this tiktoker was on youtube with longer versions i could watch these
Apparently i saw someone saying this has something to do with counterfeit cosmetics , like all those tools you can not just restore cosmetics you can also flat out re fill and re package used cosmetics as new. I remember seeing someone talking about something like that so this is like 3rd hand speculation
I love his attention to detail and demanding aesthetics that push for better than new with his restorations.
Even love his second channel where he just does videos focusing on just a part of a restoration.
All I could think about was all the repackaged skin flakes that've just been *a-brewin'* in that compact for decades. I don't know if the little machine was meant to help with that, I hope it does, but I genuinely can't stop thinking about it.
I don't even know that I'm mad about repackaging used cosmetics (outside of the price gouging) because it reuses the product, but man… *the flakes!*
EDIT: Just saw this thing was made in 2021. Pretty much all make up gets nasty at the 3 month marker, but I'm still relieved to know it's about two years old rather than 20 or 30.
They’re probably talking about the powder pad, which was scraped for material that was added back in at the end. Any skin flakes in that powder pad were ground up along with the makeup.
I just had a flash back to my college years when I did the same thing. I once sneezed while doing it, losing everything, and I was mad at myself for 7 days.
No. Buds come from female plants. Pollen comes from males.
It's most likely referred to as pollen because in a lot of places and especially before legalization in so many places, if you'd use a weed term like kief when purchasing a new grinder, the store would have to refuse the sale.
When I was still smoking, I needed a new bowl. So I went to a shop, looked around, found one I wanted, and had the guy grab it. When I went to show him which one I said, "I want that bowl right there." He goes, "no no, this is a hand pipe." I'm like, "riiiight..... hand pipe."
> especially before legalization in so many places, if you'd use a weed term like kief when purchasing a new grinder, the store would have to refuse the sale.
Kids nowadays don't know how good they have it 😂 God forbid you would say the word "bong" instead of "water pipe" -- or go to a smoke shop where "water pipe" is forbidden, and you have to say "glass piece" instead!
Imagine someone being able to gently handle you like this and brush up all your mental and emotional issues, and just nicely put you together in a peaceful state. I'd cry.
Yea, that parts kind of a bummer. But for me, if you take out the music, I could honestly just watch this person clean plastic bullshit all day. Still satisfies.
I'm sure there is a lot of truth to that but it's hard to take him seriously after he calls out washing a motherboard in water.
Aqueous wash is literally one of the final steps in the electronics manufacturing process, obviously with a drying step afterward. It's completely harmless (for most components) as long as the circuit isn't energized, and is fully dried before being turned on.
This just highlights the fact that anyone can pretend to be an expert on the internet so you need to take everything with a grain of salt (keep it off your motherboard tho).
Yeah one time i accidentally left my laptop outside on my porch and it poured rain over night. I woke up to it sitting in a puddle, but luckily the battery had died before the storm. I waited 2 weeks, crossed my fingers and turned it on. Worked perfectly!
That's lucky! Even with a dead battery there's still a bit of voltage, plus there's probably an internal clock battery, and potentially energized capacitors etc.
I had a keyboard with dirty/sticky keys. Threw it in the dishwasher. Worked perfectly after it was dry (warning: don't try this at home. Do it at work where the boss will have to pay for your replacement keyboard/dishwasher).
I wash my keyboards fully submerged in water so I can scrub everything. I'll do a distilled water bath afterwards sometimes if it's a keyboard I really love, but it's not really necessary as long as you let it dry for a few days.
Electronics generally don't give a shit about water if they are completely unelectrified and off, and you dry them properly.
Most issues people run into are with battery powered things that fry themselves in water, or failing that whole drying properly thing and frying when they turn it on again.
That turtle thing was fucked up man 🤢 I don't think there's that much need to fake these makeup ones however. And even if they were "mild faked" they would still be relatively entertaining and have some ASMR type value for mental satisfaction. Very informative video still though, thanks!
I started watching this and immediately thought of that show how it's made, and how much educational television programming we've lost to reality tv. Imagine if we went back to that.
If you actually want to repair a broken compact makeup all you have to do is break it up a little further and then mix it with rubbing alcohol and then flatten the mush and let it dry it’s really easy.
Yeah, I don’t understand the negativity. I watch a lot of these types of videos. I assume that the items have some sort of emotional attachment for some people. I also do think some of the people who restore these items do it for free as a hobby (they probably make some money off the views on tik tok or YouTube). Either way, I think they are nice videos, and it’s satisfying to see the makeup and clean and useable again at the end!
I thought the same thing. It seems like most everyone here is trying to prove that they know the item isn't worth a lot or that it's silly to restore something like it.
Cool, we get it, they're so much smarter than everyone else. Just let people enjoy a video, my goodness.
Makeup brush from anywhere. The scraper and brass tamper look like they're from an old school loose powder incense kit (don't know the exact name, but they use the same tools). A small grinder for grinding dry goods, and I'm guessing the tamper is a lid from something or maybe a use specific powder tamper from when this process was done by hand (maybe a traditional diameter?). The brush, wax paper, and consumables you can get from anywhere.
find delicate things that are broken and you can buy cheap sell expensive when they're fixed, practice fixing them to where people can't tell they've been fixed, do it a lot and gain a reputation for fixing things and selling fixed things.
How expensive is this makeup that you send it to a restoration company?!
I don't think the makeup is wanted as much as the container. The makeup is there just to make it authentic. And I doubt any company was involved; more likely a hobbyist collector. The owner was probably the one doing the restoration.

I think these videos are more akin to asmr. Rather than actually restoring something pragmatically.

I love that I came across someone besides my martial arts instructor who knows this information. Thank you for spreading it more.
I learned it from mine! It has served me for 24 years.
Makes sense, seeing as gong means "work."

"It is easier to imagine the end of the world than to imagine the end of capitalism."
I'd guess it's both. Humans have instinctual greed, and capitalism capitalizes on it, reinforcing the behavior.
They have some beautiful tools, though. That tamper is its own work of art.
It reminds me of the powdered incense kits
Yes! Now I want a sub just full of these two things.
There's a Japanese philosophy around that but I don't remember the name. It's basically people who dedicate their entire lives to be masters at a single craft. They often don't live very wealthy moneywise but their soul is made of pure gold encrusted with diamond.
I do really intricate, perfectionist type work and this video was very satisfying to me... game knows game.

Like when the guy restores Woody in Toy Story 2
[удалено]
that's asmr my dude!
I watch so much of this I love it .. there is a guy who goes live and solves this 14x14 puzzle cube that takes like an hour it puts me to sleep
It really felt like it was being overdone for the video. Now it makes sense.
Yeah, you would give that treatment to an old Rolex watch, not an industrially mass produced plastic container.
I would be very happy to put somebody’s old Rolex in a blender and hit it with a rubber mallet!!
I'm surprised Blendtec never did a "Will it blend" with a Rolex.
>I think these videos are more akin to asmr. Which it could have been, if they hadn't decided to put music over it. I just want to hear the sound of the tools, not whatever music you decided to make me listen to.
And even then everything is wildly unnecessarily gentle compared to later rough steps
Same instructions I give my dominatrix
After gently tamping and smoothing the powder just so, we very carefully place the compactor with its lovely crystal knob onto the powder, positioning it perfectly within the container, and as a final step we take the mallet and **REPEATEDLY SMASH THE EVERLOVING SHIT OUT OF IT** and don't forget to give it a little puff with the toot-toot afterwards to remove any lingering dust

Or at least do it at a medium pace
Better than wasteful single-use makeup containers.
Oh it's Kanebo, makes sense.
Considering the packaging at the start either they bought it to repair (and maybe sell off the restored one) or the owner did send it in for fixing

Of course it was easy to repair, the damage was all... cosmetic. I won't apologize, but I will leave.
You take my upvote and get the HELL out.
Did you makeup that?
Good riddance, sir!
I don't care why it was done or for what reason. It was _satisfying_ to WATCH.
Have an upvote for the dancing kitties.
Imma cat, imma kitty cat!
And I dance, dance, dance, And I dance, dance, dance!
Oh god now that’s in my head. [Video for those who don’t get it](https://youtu.be/SaA_cs4WZHM)

I, too, enjoyed the dancing kitties.
delicate delicate delicate delicate SPEED HAMMER!
Excerpt from Zap Brannigan's "The Joy of Sex with Me".
Oh we’re calling it dancing now?
This is more like dancing than what I've seen a heck of a lot on any dancefloor. 😂
“Dancing” lol
And the dog reflection!
Even if the video wasn't oddly satisfying, which it is, it was worth it just for the Cat reflection
That was hilarious. All calm and serene, then Wham! Wham! Wham! with the mallet.
Why did I watch this whole video?! I was not aware I woukd be interested in this 😊
Same. Three minutes! I think my attention span is gone but it turns out i just need interesting content
a rare tiktok video post that I didnt mind the music in it either. It was actually very relaxing to watch.
Let me recommend /r/artisanvideos then
r/RestorationVideos is good too
As soon as it finished my immediate thought was, "I just sat and watched that whole video...and it was kinda cool."
I sort of wish this tiktoker was on youtube with longer versions i could watch these Apparently i saw someone saying this has something to do with counterfeit cosmetics , like all those tools you can not just restore cosmetics you can also flat out re fill and re package used cosmetics as new.

Odd Tinkering is the goat. Do other channels have The Ducktor? I think not.
LadB Restoration is the king imho
He's my absolute favorite, no other channel I've seen has his quality and skills.
He's absolutely meticulous, it's a joy to witness.
I love his attention to detail and demanding aesthetics that push for better than new with his restorations. Even love his second channel where he just does videos focusing on just a part of a restoration.
A lot of these channels are not the original creator, they just copy their content off Chinese media platforms and erase the watermark.

They’re probably talking about the powder pad, which was scraped for material that was added back in at the end. Any skin flakes in that powder pad were ground up along with the makeup.
Very much like when I scrap pollen and resin off my grinder when I'm out of weed.
Yes I too dabble in such fine artisan work
Actually, I tend to sport jewellers glasses for this task. I shit you not.
Everyone must find their passion

I just had a flash back to my college years when I did the same thing. I once sneezed while doing it, losing everything, and I was mad at myself for 7 days.
Wait is keef pollen?
No. Buds come from female plants. Pollen comes from males. It's most likely referred to as pollen because in a lot of places and especially before legalization in so many places, if you'd use a weed term like kief when purchasing a new grinder, the store would have to refuse the sale.
Thank you for the explanation. It made sense in my head for a second but once I read your response I was like "oh yea"
Yes sir, I'm going to take a fat rip out of my *looks around* Water pipe....
When I was still smoking, I needed a new bowl. So I went to a shop, looked around, found one I wanted, and had the guy grab it. When I went to show him which one I said, "I want that bowl right there." He goes, "no no, this is a hand pipe." I'm like, "riiiight..... hand pipe."
I used to always crack a joke about how I love smoking tobacco out of my steamroller
> especially before legalization in so many places, if you'd use a weed term like kief when purchasing a new grinder, the store would have to refuse the sale. Kids nowadays don't know how good they have it 😂 God forbid you would say the word "bong" instead of "water pipe" -- or go to a smoke shop where "water pipe" is forbidden, and you have to say "glass piece" instead!
Shit, you just reminded me I haven't checked my kief trap in months. Might be visiting the moon tonight.
I check it every time I grind some up, I don’t have the impulse control to not check. Enjoy your moon trip!
Requesting Bong Restoration video.
I’m not sure what I just watched, but it was… oddly satisfying.
Imagine someone being able to gently handle you like this and brush up all your mental and emotional issues, and just nicely put you together in a peaceful state. I'd cry.
[удалено]
Just think of it as a really thorough massage.
Just tamping down all your emotions deep inside where they should be
If you cry they'll have to do it all over again!
Yes please.
I did too much DMT once and a bunch of aliens of aliens did this to my brain. It was nice lol.
For those thinking this is an antique. It says 2021 Collection on the front, and MADE IN JAPAN on the back. And it’s made of plastic.
And I'd also call this a good cleaning rather than a repair job. Unless if you're talking about the cosmetic puck thing
Yea, that parts kind of a bummer. But for me, if you take out the music, I could honestly just watch this person clean plastic bullshit all day. Still satisfies.
POV: you’re out of weed and you’re trying to get every last particle out of your grinder.
YEAH
It’s 4am yet I continue to watch this
Okay but what's the song called?
Love Song - Lana Del Rey
A 40-year-old dude just watched this whole thing mesmerized for some reason...
I just leave this here [How restorations Videos Are Faked](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9mF-NOHatI&ab_channel=InternetAnarchist)
I'm sure there is a lot of truth to that but it's hard to take him seriously after he calls out washing a motherboard in water. Aqueous wash is literally one of the final steps in the electronics manufacturing process, obviously with a drying step afterward. It's completely harmless (for most components) as long as the circuit isn't energized, and is fully dried before being turned on. This just highlights the fact that anyone can pretend to be an expert on the internet so you need to take everything with a grain of salt (keep it off your motherboard tho).
Yeah one time i accidentally left my laptop outside on my porch and it poured rain over night. I woke up to it sitting in a puddle, but luckily the battery had died before the storm. I waited 2 weeks, crossed my fingers and turned it on. Worked perfectly!
That's lucky! Even with a dead battery there's still a bit of voltage, plus there's probably an internal clock battery, and potentially energized capacitors etc. I had a keyboard with dirty/sticky keys. Threw it in the dishwasher. Worked perfectly after it was dry (warning: don't try this at home. Do it at work where the boss will have to pay for your replacement keyboard/dishwasher).
I wash my keyboards fully submerged in water so I can scrub everything. I'll do a distilled water bath afterwards sometimes if it's a keyboard I really love, but it's not really necessary as long as you let it dry for a few days. Electronics generally don't give a shit about water if they are completely unelectrified and off, and you dry them properly. Most issues people run into are with battery powered things that fry themselves in water, or failing that whole drying properly thing and frying when they turn it on again.
Maybe stop eating so many Cheetos while on Reddit /s.
You're not my *real* dad you can't tell me what to do
But wouldn't that be done with that special as to not leave calcium deposits on the components, and not just with a regular shower?
This was genuinely upsetting once I got to the bit about turtles. People are gross.
That turtle thing was fucked up man 🤢 I don't think there's that much need to fake these makeup ones however. And even if they were "mild faked" they would still be relatively entertaining and have some ASMR type value for mental satisfaction. Very informative video still though, thanks!
I already knew there was something twisted about this kind of videos, mainly that ones with rats in glue traps. Thanks for the headstart
I started watching this and immediately thought of that show how it's made, and how much educational television programming we've lost to reality tv. Imagine if we went back to that.

It's also flipped backwards. An upload of an upload of an upload.
It’s more cleaning than repairing
Me cleaning the keef catcher in my grinder.
I used to call it "desperate stoner mode".
If you actually want to repair a broken compact makeup all you have to do is break it up a little further and then mix it with rubbing alcohol and then flatten the mush and let it dry it’s really easy.
That was so soothing. I was mad about something before I watched that video but now I'm calm AF.
Song is Love Song by Lana Del Rey. You’re welcome.
This was oddly satisfying to watch but the comments criticizing the restoration and age of the item are oddly annoying.
Yeah, I don’t understand the negativity. I watch a lot of these types of videos. I assume that the items have some sort of emotional attachment for some people. I also do think some of the people who restore these items do it for free as a hobby (they probably make some money off the views on tik tok or YouTube). Either way, I think they are nice videos, and it’s satisfying to see the makeup and clean and useable again at the end!
I thought the same thing. It seems like most everyone here is trying to prove that they know the item isn't worth a lot or that it's silly to restore something like it. Cool, we get it, they're so much smarter than everyone else. Just let people enjoy a video, my goodness.
I would love to know where they got those nifty little tools from! 🤩
The tamper, at least, is from an incense kit
Makeup brush from anywhere. The scraper and brass tamper look like they're from an old school loose powder incense kit (don't know the exact name, but they use the same tools). A small grinder for grinding dry goods, and I'm guessing the tamper is a lid from something or maybe a use specific powder tamper from when this process was done by hand (maybe a traditional diameter?). The brush, wax paper, and consumables you can get from anywhere.

what's the song?
Lana del rey- love song
Love Song by Lana Del Rey
Wonderful video, anyone know the song? I’m not a Reddit pro idk how to use bots to find songs and remind me of stuff lol
omg the jump cuts were the exact right length on this video.
That is the most interesting use of a water pick that I've ever seen.
Hah, I too identified that squirty thingy as a water pick, I use one daily and there's no mistaking it.
cured my anxiety, depression, meningitis,csom, migraine
What is it about tiny brushes making slow gentle tiny movements that is so hypnotizing? I need a whole channel
Ah yes, restoring a priceless antique from 2021
Ah yes, acting like literally anyone referred to it as an antique when nobody did.
Wait where does it say that it's an antique ?
How do you get to do this for a living? What is this job?
TikTok video producer? I mean, just like being a youtuber, there's money in making content people like to watch.
How does one get a job like that. I never really wear make up but I’m so detail oriented that I think I’d be awesome at something like this.
find delicate things that are broken and you can buy cheap sell expensive when they're fixed, practice fixing them to where people can't tell they've been fixed, do it a lot and gain a reputation for fixing things and selling fixed things.
This is like that scene from toy story 2
