You find or seek to find the most interesting and rare items to restore..and i am amazed at how well these items are made..the craftsmanship of these items puts the new stuff to shame..and this is why i love these restoration videos..to bring back the good stuff..to show people what our ancestors had in their lives..thank you once again..
The chicken should be on the center rod of the spit and the adjustable tine would stick in the chicken to hold in place to keep it spinning and getting heat on all sides. The way it was set up, the chicken just rotated on the tine and the heavier side kept facing towards the fire. Really cool device though...
@@russellcampbell9641 If the impalement is done correctly, the subject is still alive when placed over the fire. And I simply ADORE peasants, but I never could finish a whole one.
I was pleased to see that you prudently chose to leave the mainspring coiled inside its housing. Perhaps you may come across one of those devices clockmakers use to coil and uncoil mainsprings (or maybe you could one day fabricate one for yourself.)
You put the meat on wrong. The meat goes on the center rod. The off-set rod is to keep the meat from spinning on the center rod. Good job on the restoration of that rusty oldy.
I just bought one of these for restoration. A slightly later model, but same intervals. This video is really helpful! You saved me much head-scratching! Thanks for a Great video!
Just discovered your channel. Watching you and observing your attention to detail and your respect for 100+ year old technology has something very satisfying and soothing. Love it!
Ikr that's so neat. I'm pretty sure that their land is close to the western front. Framers still find artillery shells to this day. There's still those missing tunnels packed with explosives. There was 9 I believe but lightning found one. I would like to visit Verdun and passchendaele and the Somme one day.
That quite the elaborate machine just to rotisserie a chicken! Another great restore, and I see that Avril is still doing an exceptional job checking and approving all your work. Looking forward to the next one.
The hands tell the whole story, remarkable! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute. The guy who appeared with the weathered hands at 11:33 knows his way around the shop, I have much respect for him.. Thanks for the cat, tells me what kind of people you are , the compassion for everything and all living things, certainly reflects as a a mirror image to your good work ethics and professionalism . Beautiful job on disassembly/ assembly and repairs while maintaining its original state and appearance. It's something that you wouldn't want to see any other way! I'm a believer and a subscriber, keep up the awesome work and great videos! Two Thumbs up!!
A beautify restoration, as always. You probably shouldn't have greased the brass gears as they are self-lubricating. The grease only attracts dust which contributes to the wear.
Parabéns! como sempre perfeito. (Quando estou com a mente agitada venho assistir seus vídeos de restauração, pra mim é o melhor calmante pois eu me desligo do mundo).
what a beautiful kitteh! 🐱🐈❤ nice kitteh. it's good to have someone to inspect ur work when ur done. looked like kitteh approved. looked really nice when u finished it and can really appreciate the attention to detail u show in ur work. says a lot about ur character and integrity/work ethic.
On reconnait les mains de père et celles du fils... Encore un très belle restauration, bravo. Continuez comme ça, c'est bu beau boulot, c'est cool de voir ça sur une chaine français.
One of the best restorations I have ever seen, congratulations :) Especially for soldering (whole part) and making wood part without using any special device :)
A very lovely restoration and such a great thing to have on a camp fire. A couple tips for you though. 1. When you tried repairing the handle you got the brass way too hot, that's why you used so much solder and it wouldn't stick. When doing that kind of repair just heat the brass only as hot as it needs to be to melt the solder. 2. Take all the mechanism back apart and strip all that grease off. You should never use it on a clock mechanism as it attracts dirt and grime and will eventually gum up the movement. If you need to lubricate it use a graphite based lubricant designed for clocks.
Great job, as usual! I've veen wondering what was this machine for the whole video. Just a small sugestion, the chicken should be on the main shaft, and the branch fixes it avoiding it to rotate freely as it happened to tou. Cheers!
Another beautiful job! Looks like something for the well off in it's day. when you had meat on the spit, Avril looked like she was looking for something to speed the old thing up.
... отличная получилась работа!-, вторая жизнь старой вещи, только в наше время такой гаджет совсем не актуален, тем не менее - ты молодец,проделал огромную работу, здоровья тебе и удачи во всём!!!
I love your channel to watch even when I don't know what the project is..thanks for sharing your knowledge and history of each project..please continue to share new projects.
Doublement merci, de nous faire découvrir ces vieux objets, et nous rappeler comme nos anciens étaient ingénieux. et la troisième étoile pour vous qui vous impliquez autant afin que ces objets ne disparaissent pas.
What an interesting piece to restore! I loved the fact that you left the rough surfaces alone and didn't try to smoothen them out like so many other restorers do: it's part of their history and, well, antiquity. PS. I'd put that chicken on the actual spit and use smaller forks to keep it from spinning, but that's for another discussion :)
