We've become so used to just throwing things away these days and not trying to fix anything. It's a pure joy watching you take something that most folks would call trash and not only make it look good but in most cases putting it back in full working condition. Plus you have Avril the cat to help you on your projects. Thanks for what you do.
I missed you guys! Petite astuce: "Le bois est sain" in this context would be "The wood is in good shape" or "The wood is sturdy". "The wood is sane" veut dire que le bois n'est pas fou. 😅
For the sake of preserving the wooden agitators in a food-safe way, you could treat them with olive oil. I use it for my wooden steak knife handles and whenever I have to wash the handle portion itself (rarely; I hand wash and am careful to only wash the blades) I rub them down with fresh oil and at over 20 years old they look as good as new.
You can churn butter using nothing but a some heavy cream and 2 bowls! Atomic shrimp made a great video about it. super fun to do. Like when you were a kid and your parent gave u a jar of heavy cream and said to shake it until it turned to butter
I do believe you could repair, rebuild, restore anything! You've made it beautiful and useful again, well done! Always a treat to see your assistant, Avril.
This is why I love your channel and your work !! This was AMAZING !! Imagine the amount of butter that was made with this to wear out the shaft for the Crank Handle !! And how did they manage to break the gear in half 😳 never the less you guys did a fantastic job restoring this !! I just love that natural wood it is beautiful !! 👍👍
Dude, you gotta rinse the buttermilk out of the butter before you use it. It'll go RANCID if you don't rinse it, that's an important part of the butter making process.
I am SO grateful you don't narrate every. single. thing. you're doing (and why) in the same way almost every American and Canadian RU-vidrs do. Just the tools, what it is you're restoring and your viewers. Perfect.
You are so right ! I'm fed up of 20 minutes introduction on what happened this week end in the life of the you tuber or his "reflexion" on what brought him where he is now.. I'm following somebody for his skills or somethimg particular not to be drown in his personal life :)
Yes, especially American youtubers love to talk. So annoying. Other creators start doing their work and when the video ends, American just finished talking. 😂
Cher Monsieur, avec des outils relativement modestes vous réussissez toujours à redonner vie à de vieux ustensiles. Et à la fin, vous testez toujours l'appareil. Cette fois, cela a donné un beurre délicieux ! Les gens comme vous méritent notre respect !
Восхитительно!👏👏👏💐💐💐! Когда я была маленькой, моя мама наливала в большую бутылку сливки, закупоривала ее и я долго-долго трясла ее, пока из крупинок не образовывался комочек масла. Трудоемко, но мы, дети, помогали родителям во всем. К сожалению, такого прекрасного изделия у нас не было. Я в восторге и от самого изделия, и от Вашей работы. От Ваших рук! Спасибо!
I love seeing these old hands working. Thanks to the shooting and editing I feel like a little kid in my dad's workshop and watching him work. Makes me feel all cozy inside.
Very nice! It’s a joy to watch you apply your patience, determination, consummate skill and artistry to your projects! I’m so glad you don’t “fast-forward” through your work. I love watching it in real time!!
Ремесло - это труд,который в наше время мало ценен. Но все,что привело человечество в наш техногенный век исключительно связано с работой ремесленников. Смотреть за работой современного мастера сродни медитации,для этого занятия не нужен звуковой фон,чувствуешь важность прикосновения рук человеческих к процессу.Спасибо за Ваш труд.
One of the amish families that i work for turned one of these butter churns into a flower planter. It's so interesting to see the different ways we can bring life back to old things.
Whatever this would sell for in an antique shop or, probably more fitting, an art gallery couldn't possibly fetch an amount commensurate with the man hours put into it. I have a feeling this isn't about the money for this man. It's a passion. I subscribed immediately after seeing his hands. They spoke a million words. Amazing work.
The sweet sound of metal scratching on metal. It’s quite soothing for me, and then seeing the metal scrape off rust of other debris is very therapeutic.
I love your use of the word "SANE" for the wood, meaning of course it's stable & usable. In the U.S. we use "sane" or it's antonym "insane" to refer almost exclusively to mental health. Fantastic restoration too, by the way.
Outstanding videography and restoration!! Haven't seen a table top churn before, with all the amazing hardware and shapes, must have been quite expensive in its day. All the detail of the restoration was inspiring to watch. Thanks for the pleasure of watching you restore it to function and beauty today! Looks like Avril has gained some weight...a sign of a good life on the farm! Hat Tip, ~PJ
As I remember Grand pap grand mother had one when I was a little boy I do miss them they had a small farm God bless you for the memories I'll be watching more of your rebuilds restorations
The sad thing is in my eyes if you have a cat you must be a good person. In reality you could be like a serial killer for all I know. But as soon as ur nice to the kitty I'm like yep he's a good guy.
Awesome restoration. I read somewhere that cold blueing is toxic so was wondering did you paint it on the other panel and not inside the container as I couldn't tell and just wanted to make sure.
Great job on another unique antique item. I remember my grandmother had an old butter churning device. It was the traditional way of churning using a giant ceramic urn like pot and a wooden handled churner. I don't think I remember it ever being put to use when I was little. My parents still have the butter churner in their house. Just used for a decoration piece.
Another fantastic restoration job. Love the fact you also test it out once you're done! Also just adore Avril! Here's hoping she gets plenty of pets and maybe a nice treat. :3
I was so glad I had the chance to see this beautiful item in use. When I started watching, I couldn't wait to see the finished product. Absolutely stunning. Wishing it were mine, 😆
I was watching this on my phone late at night when I dropped the phone. I had the sound off and in picking it up, I must have accidentally gone into the recommended videos where another RU-vidr was restoring a different machine. Because it was late at night, I didn't notice the difference for over a minute. I was wondering what had happened to the quality of your work. Accidentally switching between restoration channels 1/2 way through reminded me why your channel is one of the best. The care you take brings neglected and forgotten things back to life.
Какое замечательное механическое устройство! Даже не думала, что такое существует в природе - мы 30 лет назад детьми у бабушки в деревне взбивали настоящее масло в специальной ступе, это было дело не лёгкое, руки уставали быстро! А тут ручечку покрутил и готово - магия))) Зато какое это было масло! Вкус помню до сих пор! В российских магазинах у нас нет такого ни одной торговой марки!
Thank you for actually making butter in it. I was hoping the whole video you would and sure enough it paid off in the end. Excellent channel with excellent content. Cheers!
Merci pour ces vidéos tant pour la qualité de l’image et de la prise de vue que pour la maîtrise du travail du bois et du métal. J’ai tant appris grâce à vous ! C’est un réel plaisir. Merci aussi pour la présence d’Avril, le chat très sympa !
I've been binge watching the restoration of these antique geared machines, and I find them utter!y fascinating and somehow intellectually satisfying. The simplicity of their construction is a celebration of an engineering genius that seems to be lost today.
At first glance it didn't look too complicated, but as soon as you started taking it apart.. my goodness. I didn't think a butter churn could be so difficult, but you make it look easy. Great job. 😊👍🏼
Awesome restoration (as usual)! Love to see you give rusty old junk new life. Your furry sidekick takes the job of quality control supervisor quite serious. Keep up the great work and give Avril a pay raise! You make a great team...
Beautiful job. My art teacher showed us how to churn butter in grade school. We had it on saltines and I thought it was a gourmet snack. Thanks for sharing.
