I love how you show the utmost respect for the items you restore. And under Avril's supervision, you'll both go far 😉😻🐈 - I was actually concerned she wasn't going to make an appearance, but, there she was. Thank you for another brilliant video 👏
Right?! There's another guy on here who's constantly breaking parts of the items he's 'restoring' in his impatience to disassemble it, and ends up replacing half the thing with new parts instead. I can't watch his videos most the time
Fantastic work 👍 loved the spring and the washer idea to take up the slack with the handle adjuster, that was brilliant. Sometimes it's the simple things. Great job.
The craftsmanship, dedication, and precision of each restoration is incredible! I thoroughly enjoy every video of yours that I’ve watched! Thank you for sharing your amazing content and please keep doing so!
This is one of the ancestors to the food processor of today, crunching up hard grains into small chunks. Very useful, I wonder if it was used to make corn meal as well, for corn bread and mush. Thanks for sharing, really like the color scheme you used, not the standard black that was common back then. 👍🏻👍🏻😁😁🇨🇱🇺🇸
I rather suspect this tool was originally designed for cracking whole grains like wheat, barley, rye, oats, etc. for pain de campagne. Maize is a fairly important crop in France now - the country produces only slightly less maize per annum than Canada - but even today most is 'field corn' for fodder or for export as corn meal/polenta. Maize simply isn’t a major part of the French diet. Keep in mind that France is the fifth largest wheat producer in the world. They had no need of maize; they're one of the historic breadbaskets of the world.
@@Ea-Nasir_Copper_Co thanks for the info, but if it came to the USA it may have been used to grind other items. Thanks again for sharing your information on this kitchen tool. Paul 🇨🇱👍🏻😁
I am subscribed since the time of the drill press video, and once more time this is the best restoration channel for small-medium tools/objects, just because they don't do bigger stuff but probably they would be as good with that too
Nice to see your son has taken an interest in restoring old usable things. You do a wonderful job and it would be a shame not to pass on that knowledge.
I've missed you and especially Avril, like the other commenter I thought I was going to miss her but she did come out to see if it was well done ☺and it is , beautiful, thank you.
I've been a subscriber for over a year and a half now I think. I was on a "restoration builds" rush back during 2020 when I out of work due to me having a terrible flu (non COVID thank goodness). I found this channel along with a few others and started binge watching each video. Your videos are unique. You guys take great pride and care restoring this old antiques. Great job. Here's to 1 million subscribers very soon!
So interesting to see the various types of machinery, etc you bring you be renewed. This is now beautiful, useful, and practical to own nowadays. Great job as always! Pets to Avril.
Hi. A great video. Just try to use a indirect light source because the whites are screaming and are over saturated. Keep the good work just adjust the light sources or shoot with low iso values.
Are the young hands related to the old hands? Is Avril still the best supervisor? These and other more pressing questions for the next video! Thank you to all the good hands.
A very good job, when the cat came to supervise and saw that the service was excellent he decided to drink milk and eat some food thinking while he ate for today I've done my work🐱😎😁
Mmmm, roasted almonds ..... Did you apply bluing to the burrs? I noticed they were black. Very nice resto. I like the main color, very appropriate for that grinder.
You have the best restoration channel on RU-vid period, but this new snap snap snap scene scene style man… idk it loses the LADB vibe! I love you guys. 🥲
this is the first time I've seen Avril slacking on the job. he is normally the best quality control. hm. maybe more snacks and pets are needed? Perhaps he is joining the workers revolution?
Another wonderful restoration ! Avril does not like the smell of brass! I need something like this to shuck Sunflower seeds, but I have never seen anything to achieve this, are you using aluminium oxide in your sand blaster ? Chris B.
