Well done. The machine is meant to be used with a faucet pouring water over the potatoes to rinse away the peels and to keep everything running smoothly.
@@bguen1234 I'd rather not spend my time arguing with people on the internet; so I'll be brief in my reply. I have used potato processors exactly like this one while working in soup kitchens and volunteering at various places; they are always mounted inside a wash basin with a faucet running cold water over the drum, allowing you to dump in batches of potatoes to peel, then the peeled and washed potatoes are dumped out via the gate at the bottom and put into a large pot of boiling water to cook.
@@windshearahead7012 Why are you yelling? Is your caps-lock key stuck? In case you don't understand; you have to cook potatoes before you eat them, and it is most efficient to boil them, pre peeled, in large batches. That way, when they are done boiling, they can be made into mashed potatoes or other dishes without any further prep work.
@@thraximundar2974 thank you so much for being civil and thoroughly explaining things, and dont worry about those unreasonably rooted replies, you seem to be a very nice person with good work ethics. Nice to meet you here sir. Cheers
This guy is a g for caring about his viewers by covering the welding with a tint so it doesn't hurt our eyes especially if it's night ,thanks man keep it up
You guys know that the brightness of a video can't be brighter then the brightness of your phone screen, right? Your not there looking at the welding, it can't hurt your eyes any more than looking at your screen. Smh.
I could watch your craftsmanship for hours. That was such a joy to see. First looking at it, I had no idea how many individual parts that mechanism had. You are truly an artist at your craft. Well done. I so enjoyed that.
Yeah, I said "Damn! That's going to take all day to punch those holes by hand" WRONG!!!! It took THREE days. More dedication than I have, believe me. (I would have automated it by giving each one of the kids a nail and a hammer and said "Have at it!")
When my dad was in the army, he used something like this to peel potatoes. The mess hall needed A TON of potatoes peeled quickly and this handled the job. I think water was running over the potatoes while they spun.
Ancestors of devices like this are used to this day in fish & chip shops up and down the UK. They're motorised and and they use tungsten carbide sheets as the "grinding" surface, but it's still the most efficient way of doing it. Every once in a while, you'll get a large smooth stone in a bag of potatoes (which was mistaken for one because it was covered in mud). I imagine you'd notice pretty quickly in a device like this, but it absolutely wrecks the modern carbide sheets. I guess that's the tradeoff for mechanisation and mass production.
for all the people asking how to clean this thing: it's constructed of smooth, non-porous, non-shedding, rust-resistant materials/coatings (other than the wooden handle) which means it's food-grade and can be rinsed easily with soap and water. Would probably take less than 1 min to clean after use.
Even the everyday things people used back then were beautiful to look at. I never thought of a potato 🥔 peeler as aesthetically pleasing, but I stand corrected. Amazing work. ♡
Я тоже удивилась, сколько деталей в этом механизме! Какими же красивыми и надёжными раньше были предметы! Спасибо за увиденное! Ваше терпение и мастерство вдохновляют!
Amazing work, and that lateral cover was still somewhat elastic after 130 years! I guess they used proper materials back then, no planned obsolescence of any kind in mind! Make it last one thousand years seems to have been their motto, and it shows in almost everything they manufactured back then.
Magnificent job you did restoring the old potato peeler. I like it when you chose stainless steel to make new grating parts because it resists rust and is easier to clean. Moreover, you don't have to worry about the possible risk of lead poisoning from that old rusty grating you replaced. It looks much better and it works like a charm too. Excellent work.
Mate; nice job! I can’t speak for everyone who watches your channel, but for me, I think the nicest thing about videos like yours and other fixer / makers like my mechanics is that you let us dream what it would be like to have all these nice tools; free time; and a well established RU-vid fan base so we could do some of this work ourselves!! The effort and time you put into punching all those holes in the new stainless mesh !! Wow.. outstanding 👍👍
Wow! Amazing restoration! I didn't expect this machine to have so many parts or require so much repair and restorarion! You did a magnificent job! Loved the colour you chose, and was blown away that you made all new stainless steel grating parts! What a work! Loved the editing too! Very relaxing and satisfying! Very well done on everything! It seemed a shame to dirty it with the practical demonstration but it was also satisfying to watch. I wish I owned this machine. Loved the humour of the "Emerency Exit! too. One of the best restoration videos I have watched...and i watch a lot of them :)
Really impressed by thee technique you came up with in order to recreate the "grates". Great work! I think the device is meant to work under running water, that way the peels are washed away as you go.
We used to have a plastic version of this and we would continuesly have running water in it to wash the peal away.. Wonderful job. I like how you made new grid's for it too.. Well done...🙏
@@icegoddess1308 yes, you could put 1to2lbs in at a time, because there were so many in there they would get pushed to the side to have more contact..☺️
Very good restoration, I must applaud your persistence making the new meshes. I was surprised to see the bevel gears still in such a good condition, well done 👍
I was thinking at the end, thats due to how the machine works lol. By the time you wash it a couple times it would start to rust. There's no way to dry it easily it would air dry and pool.
omg your restorations are amazing! When you said there was led & they'd have to be replaced I felt so bad for you having to do all that work! When I saw the peeler actually peeled and ejected the potatoes into a bowl... I could cry over the useful mechanical machines no longer being produced, because some people would love to have them & be able to use them! I actually prefer older manual machinery... we quit buying digital kitchen scales and bought an old scientific balance scale instead. It's accuracy is to 1/10th of a gram! 🥰😍
Amazing! When I was little, my mother had a potato peeler, similar concept only made with corundum and requiring a little water. I have one with fine grids, like this one (electric though). It’s so cool to see that this has been around for literally centuries.
these satisfy my interest in knowing how things are made/put together (including how things used to be made vs now), but also how you get them so clean and brand new looking. amazing
As everyone as commented already, I am so impressed with the way you recreated the grater elements! Also, I literally laughed out loud at the comment about the potato "escape hatch". Excellent video, as usual
There is something relaxing watching this antique restoration. A true artisan at work. These kitchen tools were made to last forever not forgetting that they are a net zero product! Not an electrical plug in sight. Great restoration
What a lovely restauration. I can't believe that you could put it back together again. I would have been left with odd bits and pieces. Very nice work and fascinating to watch.
Божественный талант❤❤❤ удивительный человек, который видит прекрасное в никчемном. Большенство людей отправили бы эти вещи на помойку. Примите мой искренний восторг❤❤❤❤❤ Я до конца не могла понять, что это за агрегат😊😅
The others probably don't bother because whatever electronic screen you're watching with acts as a built in filter. Likewise, the camera is recording neither the full brightness nor the UV radiation being emitted by the welding. These are the same reasons you can watch a solar eclipse on your screen without having to wear glasses while doing so. Now before someone says "well, those unfiltered videos cause me pain", the discomfort you might feel watching these videos is psychosomatic in origin, not physical. If there were an actual physical basis, people wouldn't go to tanning salons when they could just watch a video of a sunny beachat home for free instead.. Science is fun!
What a fascinating piece of kitchenalia! You know - you might have the only one left in the world so thank you for taking the time to restore it...this was an excellent video! All the potatoes came out of the 'pot' like chickens running out of the hen house😅
We are very happy to have people like you to help us do this. And it's great of you to restore these kinds of devices; I have seen many of these cases and among all the ones I have seen in this work, your work and several others, several times; It is better than the ones I have seen.
Excellent travail ! Spécialement sur la refabrication car il faut beaucoup de patience ! Un appareil pas courant du tout qui à un charme très fort :) Bravo continu comme ça !
Tes restorations sont plus impressionnantes les unes des autres! Tu fait un travail superbe! Bravo, continue ce que tu fait c’est un plaisir à regarder! Ps: j’adore quand tu nous dit d’où viens l’objet, l’année… c’est super d’en apprendre plus sur des vieux objets d’époque! 🙌🏻
Amazing perfection !! Attention to every detail and it works fantastic !! I wish they made items like this today....but hey the ones left around can be rerestored and used again !! Fantastic work !!
One of the best restorers I've ever seen. I really enjoyed your work restoring the grates. Good color choice too. Premium work. More people should know about you.
Though we don't all speak the same language, your love of history and restoring something to its former glory is clear without uttering a single word ❤
WOW! I have owned a box grater for more than a decade and never even considered using those tiny holes to peel a potato, usually I just grate cheese on it. Thanks for that knowledge.
