Handmade Play Button - No Power Tools.
In this video, I'm going to make a YouTube play button out of a piece of aluminum without any power tools.

First I want to say thank you to each and every one of you guys. Your support on this channel lately is just amazing.
As I needed to do some research and order some stuff for my current restoration, I decided to make a „silver“ play button without any power tools.
I hope you like my work and the video.
