I would like to go back in time to tell the factory worker that made this that in 100+ years someone is going to clean it with light so strong it vaporizes rust.
I think maybe you didn’t churn long enough… you should end up with butter and the remaining whey (very watery). After this, you rinse the butter in cold water to remove the whey and squeeze out the water using cheesecloth. Some folks add a bit of salt to their butter. I like this old churn - although not too wild about the chrome with the yellow paint. Never have I seen one like it. Unusual, but seems to work very well.
Thank you for your bits of advice. I never had to make butter before, and I also didn't want to insist this time. After I observed that some butter had formed, I stopped churning. In my workshop, I had 32+ degrees Celsius while churning hard with studio lights on me from all sides, and that was way too much for me 😅😅 I was happy that I could demonstrate that it worked. The chrome idea came from the item itself because it was chrome-plated, and the base is Ivory, not yellow, a colour very similar to butter. I thought that it would make sense 🙂 Thank you once more for your feedback and for watching my work! Cheers! Johnny
@@rustyshadesrestoration … I think that translates to about 90F… too hot for me! Butter-churning is definitely a cool-weather task. Thanks for sharing your projects!
That laser rust removal never gets old and combining it with the lathe was a great idea. But this a fancy butter churn; I have the primitive model. It consists of a crock and a wooden dasher. Cream goes in crock, dasher is moved up and down, and, ages later, you get butter.
After the 40's - 50's so many useful machines, from simple to complex stopped being manufactured the correct way. Instead of improvements, quality and workmanship went downhill. There is almost nothing you can't restore. I really hope you are teaching others to follow in your footsteps.
You have very impressive technical skills, with a wide range of tools, from the most basic to the most high-tech... Magnificent restoration! What's more, once you've tasted some freshly churned butter, you'll understand the usefulness of this little marvel!
OK - I'm the new kid on the block. That looked like something outta Star Trek, that lightning bolt on the rusty parts. Pardon my ignorance, but just WHAT the blue blazes was THAT?!
Well Johnny, you should have seen my face when I saw you were going to restore an old butter churn! My face lit up like a kid on Christmas day! I know, it don't take much to make this old gal happy!😂 Then you used the Lazer! I was off the chair and doing a happy dance, just Awesome! 😁 The short time period I have been a subscriber I have seen the confidence you are gaining with each project. I have one little piece of advice when it comes to making proper butter....cheese cloth! 😊 ok, you know what I thought of this video. Keep on restoring the items that can be of use once again! ❤
really cool restoration of an old kitchen tool. just 1 tip for you. when using chrome paint, it needs to be extremely smooth surface, then paint the entire thing black first, then hit it with chrome paint. for some reason chrome paint shines better with a black base coat.
The butter didn't 'break' from the whey, churn until you see clearly chunks of butter and the liquid milky colored part are separated. Nice restoration! That took patience and talent! Sure beats me shaking a mason jar full of cream for 30 minutes lol.
I had to Google to figure out what you were churning to make butter; here in the US we usually use heavy cream to make butter if we make it at home, which isn't so thick that you need a spoon to take it out of the package. I don't think I've ever seen "thick cream" on the shelves here. Also, I think the drain on the bottom is meant to be used to remove the buttermilk from the butter once you're done churning, but I haven't ever seen a churn that works like that one before, so I could easily be wrong. The hand-cranked butter churns I'm familiar with have a four-flanged paddle that spins inside a fixed container, rather than a fixed paddle and a rotating drum.
Yes, that was 36% fat cream, here you can find it in every shop. You are right; the drain is used for draining the buttermilk, but my copper pipe got filled up with butter, and I couldn't use it in the video (trying to avoid messy situations). 🙂
Desired level of fat in cream for butter making is 33 to 40 per cent. Standardisation to higher and lower levels leads to higher fat loss in buttermilk. Reduction of fat by adding water should be avoided as it interferes ripening of cream and also results in butter with flat or washed-off flavour. You're welcome! 🙂
@@rustyshadesrestorationIn my country we have a 36% whipping cream, which is liquid but has worked ok for me when I have made butter. Makes me wonder how your cream is different if the fat content is same. Maybe I also missed something and I'm too lazy to rewind, but did you treat the inside of the churn in any way, or did you just remove the rust and dirt?
Marvelous job you did restoring the hand-operated butter churn. It looks much better and it works like a charm too. Excellent work as usual. I have never seen one like that before.
Last one we used with just one fresh cow was a glass jar of a gallon or gallon and a half, with the paddles attached to the lid with a gear assembly. Slow, but worked. If lacking even that, shaking the milk in a jar worked, too. We’d hang the butter in cheesecloth and let the whey drip out.
@@rustyshadesrestoration I think they were made so the mechanics would fit on the big pickle jars or restaurant size mayonnaise jars, as they were often broken , since the children were tasked epithet the chore. Haven’t seen ours in decades, so maybe it has a new home. Haven’t had a cow tor forty years.
Вы не доколотили масло. Надо было еще немного покрутить, должно было масло собраться в один комок , а сыворотка от масла должна быть совсем жидкая и как я поняла, внизу, в бачке должна быть пробочка, которую вытаскивали и сливали сыворотку, а затем в маслобойку наливали холодную воду и колотили еще несколько минут, промывая масло. А так суперская вещь! У меня 4 коровы и я бы хотела такую, сама колочу в планетарном миксере))
Every time I see your laser rust removal I have an uncontrollable urge to yell out don’t cross the streams wile I throw out a ghost trap to the ghost busters theme song 🎶
Thank you! That's true! From now on, I'll appreciate way more homemade products. It was pretty tough making that small portion of butter at 35 degrees 🫠
TBH, I make my butter, in an old, 250g coffee jar. Keep it cool, and shake it until the whey, separates, then wash it with ice water; shape it, and there you have it - maybe add a little salt, if you like. I find that one x 600ml supermarket cream, makes about 240g of butter. (and you can use the whey in scones).
Earned a new subscriber. Came across a couple of your older videos and enjoyed the time and effort and originality. Sounds effects and little animation in a couple made me laugh. Look forward to binge watching your work!
It's always fun to see what you have next to restore. The process is fascinating to watch & I am addicted to your vlogs.....Hi 👋🏻 from tropical storm in Southern California
You gotta stick a lawnmower engine to that thing, start pumping out homemade butter. Theirs definitely a market for homemade butter. Add some kind of spice to it.
Dziękuję za filmy ,niesamowite że to polski kanał.Jestem pełna uznania dla wiedzy która przywraca piękno starym przedmiotom.Podziwiam Twoją pracę Johnny.Pozdrawiam z Gorzowa
very nice restoration, looks like you might have to restore your lathe soon, it looks like there is quite a bit of looseness in the tool and chuck rigidity
Nice video. Please churn longer. The cream didn’t separate the fat completely out. Then rinse with cold water & squeeze access butter milk out to keep any milk residue from spoiling the butter early.
Thank you! It was my first time churning butter 🧈 I observed that some butter formed, so I stopped because I was dying of hot too. 😅😅😅 Thank you for your advice; I'll do that next time!
@@rustyshadesrestoration yeah those old churners take mire work than just using a blender. If you use a blender it takes about 2-3 minutes to beat to fully separate, but homemade butter is very good.
From watching you turn the copper piece in the lathe. I just want to give you a couple of pointers. The insert cutter was to far above center. Your gibs need tightened up that’s why the tip of the tool dipped down when you was cutting.
I can't agree with you. I just had a project a few months ago where I had to weld a cast iron Doctor Scale. Guess what? I have 91 kg, and I'm still using it almost weakly. So, maybe brazing is good, but I'll never subestimate a correct good weld. Best, Johnny
Ah, the old 9mm is too small and 10mm wrench is too large, or, metric meets English wrench misfit. The square head bolt is 3/8" or 9.5 mm. Frankly, the best wrench in this case is a "Crescent " wrench, or as we like to call it, "the universal metric" wrench. Believe-it-or-not, there are 8-point sockets here, and one of them is 3/8", a perfect fit for your project. There is another work-around, using a 3/8" drive socket, but it's messy..
Great job very well done. What did you use? Here in Bharat we use cream collected after refrigerating hot milk collected over a few day i.e. 3-4 days we then add live yogurt culture to it and allow it to curdle overnight and also to ferment slightly this is then churned and after the butter starts to separate we add ice cold water and churn again and this separates the butter out very well and we get a good quantity of Butter Milk too which is very tasty and can be drunk by adding some salt. Butter milk is pretty much high in protein and is healthy.
The smoke that was created in the process, as it was floating through the beam from the laser, is what created the visual effect that looked like flames. If you have a laser level that can split the beam into a line (fairly inexpensive these days) and a dark room, you can see this effect by using a cigarette or a vape (or >ahem< other stuff that makes smoke) be gently letting the smoke drift through the beam. It’s mesmerizing to watch!
Very cool project 👍 my favorite part was watching you clean the rust of the bowl in the lathe with that amazing rust remover laser, very clever idea. The finished project turned out well. How did it taste ?
I'm glad you liked the idea of cleaning the barrel with the help of the lathe&laser. How did it taste? Hmm Butterlazerish! 😂 I was impressed by the taste and quality 👌
Wish you didn’t use the chrome paint which looks fake and that you baked on yellow enamel instead of spray painted it yellow. Just my opinion…thanks for the video though. Very interesting.
