YouTube video by polymatt Restoration or Resurrection? Re-creating a rare 80's laptop from the ground up

New video up! Just finished the massive project of restoring/rebuilding @lgr-yt.bsky.social’s destroyed Chaplet Halikan LA-30A. This was a big one 😅. Enjoy!

After months of work I’m putting the finishing touches on a new video and new… Restoration? Reproduction? Resurrection? You decide 😁

Another huge restoration project is slowly coming together… actually this one is as more like a complete reproduction 😅

Doing some color matching and texture tests for the final finish. That means the video isn’t too far away!

I had a few on Name and a few on GoDaddy. Got fed up with them and just finished migrating everything to Porkbun. Sooooo happy I did. I really hope they stay independent.

Stoked to be heading to VCF Midwest. I’ll be mulling around the floor all weekend so if you spot me, come say hi! I’ll be the middle-aged bald guy with facial hair… Can’t miss me.

Not seeing anything out of the ordinary here. On a completely unrelated note… anyone else hungry?

And I’m here for reactions like this. If I can bring anyone into the excitement I feel for figuring stuff like this out - that’s all I need. Glad you enjoyed it Axel!
