avril wins best supervisor of the year award. she did an exceptionally good job assisting you in washing the parts. she should be promoted and get a raise in head pats.
Awesome as always. For a second I thought you might sand the HURTO label of the handles but I should have known better as you do the best restorations and keep as much of the original parts as possible. Just love your work. Cuddles to Avril and Merry Christmas. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺
Wonderful. The reason this is my fav restoration RU-vidr is because of how cool the machines are they always manage to find. Plus they restore them to be used again, not just be decorative, tho they still bring out the utilitarian beauty of each piece. Then there is Avril, their excellent Quality-Assurance Supervisor.
I just found the same thing (but much more rusty) in a very old shed on a piece of land my friend just bought. I don’t have the talent or tools to restore it, but I love watching how you restored yours.
Thank you for sharing your work. All of these mechanical meditations teach us about the past. I watch as therapy after long days with an adult beverage to relax.
Ready for another one hundred years. The mechanical ingenuity is... well, an idea sharpened through years and years of practicable experience shown in this seed planter.
i watch this restauration with a little tear in my eye. because this was the seed planter where my dad worked with on the land. in my memories it was green and the wheels where red,and on the container was the name written in yellow. i mis only one thing,and thats the stick on the arm where the seedser coult lean on when you most fill it or something. but it is a beatyfull peace of art what you showed me. and i didnt no there where so many peaces on that litle machine.
Yey, more restoration with a side of cat. Here are some timestamps: 01:48 Introducing Avril, the fluffy orange assistant 01:53 Some fluffy paws up there, in the upper right corner of the screen, maybe trying to help? 03:51 Watching over the washing session, probably hoping not to be used as towel 08:52 Avril on duty, guarding the left side, or just being a cat 10:42 I think a cute fluff mistook the restoration with a fashion show Is it just me or the whole cativity makes the whole work better? Something like: "Hm, this part needs more sanding... oh hi there kitty, what are you doing?... And this side is bent, will need some hammering... *patting the cat*...and where did I put those screws?" similar to how spices work in cooking. Awesome work, and at the end, it was quite nice to see how the machine works.
Très bon choix que de conserver les anciens marquages. J'ai une ancienne machine à coudre à pédale de cette marque (Hurtu). Super boulot, félicitations!
Another superb job I just wish they were longer and more often. Avril, as usual, did an excellent job supervising and checking your work. Looking forward to your next one.
Mein Nachbar Bittner, Ernst, der hatte auch so eine Sämaschine für seine kleine Gärtnerei. Der hat Stiefmütterchen und Kopfsalat angebaut. Die Maschine sieht wieder wie neu aus, klasse Arbeit. My neighbor Bittner, Ernst, who also had a seed drill for his small nursery. He has grown pansies and lettuce. The machine looks like new again, great work.
When I first looked at it I thought wow then as you took it apart I was amazed by many small bits there was and it looked complicated. It's nice to see an old or antique item being restored and then working as is use do. I like watching Avril inspect and give her approval on the way itis going and the end result
Comme d´habitude, votre oeuvrage est une merveille. Votre "chassistant" a comme toujours tout à l´oeil et contrôle la situation magistralement. Bonnes fêtes de fin d´année et merci pour votre apport sur le site. Caresse à "Chavril".
Is there anyone (else) that have already pushed one of these babies (or silimar)...all day long through the muddy fields? Now that's a humility lesson for the rest of your life.
I loved running my hands over the bare metal of my Grandfathers plows after he was done plowing..mirror smooth!..I’m glad Avril is there to supervise!!
I always thought I was unique in that respect. It's really amazing how quickly you can polish down plowshares and chisels. Of course, after a few seasons I would be tasked to drag out the welder and apply hardener to them in order to get a few more years of wear out of them.
One thing is for sure, a hundred years from now this old machine will still be around long after the junk made today has ceased to exist. I love old equipment. Well made and not designed with "planned obsolescence" or so the end user cannot maintain it.
Another beautifully restored relic that would be an awesome addition to any museum, and another fine example of a thoroughly enjoyed hobby. Keep up the great work, love watching your many talents and channel. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you..
C'est avec plaisir que je découvre chacune de vos vidéos, et les apprécie chaque fois; celle-ci ne fait pas exception. Super boulot et salut Avril! Vivement le prochain film.
I was a bit surprised at the size. The last video I watched had a huge piece of stuff then this little thing comes along. Still a beautiful job and Avril as usual working hard as head of works.
