I must admit, this was the first video I had seen and being admittedly tired, I fell asleep to the sounds. I later came back and watched it while fully awake and my goodness, you are very good at what you do.
Sometimes I forget that back in ye olden days of like 100 years ago, they still had colors and actually nice things in life. Like all the rusted metal around today was clean and often painted back when it was used.
Ethan...that's the same thing I was thinking. Doesn't matter how long it takes, I simply don't have the patience for that lol. I admire people who do these things. I'd go crazy before I finished one row 😅😅
Older tech is so amazing. It's the most effective in its simplest form, so it literally lasts and functions as long as the item isn't degraded down to dust... Amazing engineering.
He actually did not drill out holes. It is a special tool that creates a slight divet in the material so that the screw head fits more flush, rather than protruding from an object. He always does amazing work. When watching restoration videos his is the only channel I will watch.
This is not just hard work, this is dedication to the craft and I don't think people are here for just the wonder you are creating but for the dedication that you show for the work. I was really impressed when the video showed "there's something still missing" and I was amazed that you went that far to complete the entire thing. Hat's off to you.
Wow, sandblasting and wood turning - two of my favorite things to watch - both in the same video. Score! Really like the wooden food pusher you made from a log - that is a very nice addition to this very nice looking restoration! I can see why someone might have wanted to copper or brass paint, but the red and white is very nice and clean looking!
It's technically "media" blasting as different materials for the blasting work differently depending on the surface you are working on. There is no one medium for all blasting.
@@forevercomputing That is really interesting! I saw someone use I think baking soda for something really delicate - and on the other extreme corundum. So yes this "media blasting" is a really versatile technique!
There are some great restoration channels out there, from machinery to tools, clothing, paintings, toys, so many. I love watching shoes and leather bags being spruced up and staying what they are instead of being repurposed
This grinder knows you though. It told me behind the truck after the kitchen party. It wouldent say any more... I need to know what did you grind, WHAT DID YOU MAKE IT GRIND!!
@@moneyshotistoopsal2938 i heard there members are course and you have to ground through a lot of profiles. This one did have a nice handle id crank that image up.
Ok, my mind was blown! Algorithms suggested this and I'm grateful. Wow, you do incredible work. I don't know what you're doing but it kept me hooked til thr end for the finished, working piece. Tfs your time and talent 🙂👍
As always, cat timestamps here: 9:20 Avril the orange kitty, warden of the stump 14:05 Quality control Thanks for the video! Awesome work! May God bless you!
Very nice restoration. My only negative comment is to use food safe grease and paint. I have never thought you could sharpen the cutter by drilling each one out. Great idea.
Everybody: omg look at the wood working such a satisfying video Me: why tf don't we have graters like this anymore Still a great video tho keep up the good content
Wouldnt it have been a good idea to coat the wood in vegetable oil or something to make it more resistant to weathering specially if its going to be used for the kitchen
Even if this is just some grinder, hear me out... Do you think in some way the past souls who owned this feel, idk maybe feel happy or some other feeling of relief when their own past items gets restored? I'm just saying if any of my own consoles/handhelds got restored I'd be happy now and in the afterlife too.
Seen this for the first time last week when someone else on RU-vid restored one. But I have to say the wooden push block put it over the top. Wonderful job restoring it looks great!! Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
most restoration channels ive seen just takes a block of wood to a lathe...you carved that curve BY HAND. that's the best thing ive seen in ages! subscribing, liking, ringing the bell. you got a fan.
I just discovered your channel and found it extremely satisfying to watch. The fact that you put no music in the background makes the video even better. 10/10
Great restoration. It came out beautiful. I was thinking that possibly the block press could use an extended lip near the top to keep it from contacting the grater while in use and allow it to rest on the frame of the chute instead on the grater bowl when not in use.
I love that, not only do you restore, you improve the manufacture. A very good eye for detail. If postage wasn’t so expensive I’d want to buy something, particularly this grater.
If you are ever worried about ruining the metal or paint with pliers or multi grips, wrap tape around the teeth/jaws and it won’t mark or dig in. This is really good on softer metals as well
Using paint stripper before sandblasting makes the blasting grit last longer before it gets gummed up, and the sandblated finish takes paint well, while also removing corrosion
Interesting to see the exact same grater was restored by "Old Things Never Die" last week. Both extremely good restorations but quite different results!
I just found your channel a little bit ago, and I've never been interested in design tech. But watching these fascinated me and there's something unique about your videos. Good work and enjoy your day. 😊
The thing I love about restoration is that in some cases the end product is actually better quality than it was when it was new. Filing the rough castings, taking the time to sharpen things and smooth things... its fantastic. Well done!
