In this restoration video I restored an antique meat or vegetable slicer from around the year 1890.
More about the slicer :
I bought this slicer from a flea market. It cost me $80, but compared to the prices on eBay , which exceed $100, I think I made a good choice. I liked this item from the moment I saw it and knew it would be a cool restoration project.
More about the restoration :
As in every restoration video, I started by presenting the part and disassembling it. I knew since I bought this item, the fact that it is missing a part (a screw for mounting to the table), so I started the restoration by making the missing part. I didn't find many details online, but looking at other products that were for sale, I saved the pictures and tried to make the missing part like the original one. It came out very beautiful part. After that , I continued the restoration project by sandblasting the other parts. After sandblasting, I inspected the cast iron, I had to restore the main body because the blades were touching one of the edges. I sanded the parts in places and powder coated. For some parts I used black brown powder and for others I used cream powder. I am happy because the wooden handle could be restored, but the handle shaft and the brass ring had to be replaced. Towards the end of the restoration, I restored the gloss of the blades, sharpened them and restored the main shaft. I presented all the restored parts, assembled the parts, showed before and after and at the end of the video I showed the test by making a delicious sandwich...I think I deserve one after so many weeks of restoration.
That was the brief description of the restoration. Thank you for reading and thank you for watching the video. Hope you enjoyed ! Cheers , David .
