Hello all, hope your all keeping fit and well. I love all things old, they were built so much better than todays crap ! I have also noticed spong kitchen ware at car boot sales, they were built so well it seems a lot have survived. Keep safe and well, take good care, thankyou for being a part of this channel.
Hello Dan, ha ha i could do with one of them ! bloody flies are taking liberties here ! they aggravate me so much ! your eggs are in the incubator. thanks Dan keep safe and well.
Hello, sorry for a late reply, ive been having a little break from youtube. its great to hear from you, i will have a little catch up on your adventures. keep safe and well, take care
Hi Gary. Thanks for another entertaining and informative vid. see that rainbow is still around. An interesting bit of kitchen kit history here- brill. All well here and I hope it is with you. Take care. Best. Johnny. North West England. P.s. I wondered where that squeak came from!
Hello Johnny, glad all is well. I have a hand cranked tool fetish ha ha , I'm always on the lookout for new off grid labour savers from the past. last week i manage to find a very nice large 2 speed hand drill with a large shoulder rest on it from a car boot sale ( works a treat ! ). Im sure a solar flair is going to knock out the grid in the future, like i mentioned in a vid, all the ingredients are there, a weakening all time low earth magnetic shield and the new solar cycle is just beginning. We got very lucky only a few weeks back as a massive solar eruption travelled away from earth. It was describe by solar scientist as a very significate event for grid and communication disruption if it was earth directed. Dont worry im not too paranoid or worried , ha ha just like to be ready for what gets thrown our way in case times get hard and also i love the old fashion ways/life and tools, they are just the best ! the tools last for a lifetime ! thanks Johnny keep safe and well. ( we need some rain here its getting very dry again )
@@ESCAPINGTHEMATRIXFORGOOD Hi Gary, thanks all is good here. 'hand cranked tool fetish....' lol! Yes there are still plenty of theses things around to be had- if you look in the right places. Great that yours work well. You know me Gary, you and I think along similar lines, not sure about solar flares (I'll definitely wear mine- lol!) but I think the whole system may start to collapse. We shall see. We also share a love of old tools, gadgets and ways. Thanks again Gary- you can have some of our rain- it's absolutely siling down here atm. Take care. Best. Johnny. North West England.
Hello Dr prepper, as you know i like to be prepared for the unexpected, these hand cranked gadgets will save plenty of time if the grid ever fails. I have a good hand cranked tool collection including , a grinding wheel for sharping , a 2 speed large hand drill and plenty of hand cranked kitchen stuff. But also i just love the old fashioned way of living. Thanks, keep safe and well.
Hello, perfect suggestion and timing, i watch a video just the other day on homemade hash browns, i will make a big batch up for the freezer, thanks Moose, nice one, hope your keeping well, take care.
Hello Katie, thanks for your idea, we also use to grow in a small space, just 20 by 30 feet garden and we also had 3 chickens. Every space possible was used. You definitely don't needs loads of land to be a good step closer to self sufficiency. i will talk about this in a future video very soon. thanks and take good care.
Hello Eric, its not been the best of growing years here but still getting a reasonable harvest to make ends meet. i hope your keeping well, keep safe and God bless.
Hello Bry, love me hand cranked gadgets, i brought an old two speed hand cranked drill today for my workshop at the car boot sale. good luck on the next date, take care Bry.
Hi mate, I have the exact same bean slicer as you but had never used it until I watched your vid, if a bean gets stuck never poke it in with your finger and turn the handle because you will cut your finger like I did, keep it up and cheers
OOOOH ! not good ! the slice must have been bad ! i sharpened my blades, they are like razors. I hope you found the skin and someone did not eat it ! keep safe and well, especially your fingers, thanks Nigel.
@@ESCAPINGTHEMATRIXFORGOOD it wasn’t as bad as it could have been, luckily for me I was wearing my garlic bra at the time, they are all the rage here in Ireland, you should have patented them beauties mate.
Lol you make me laugh. Lovely well made reliable kitchen ware . I used to have a hand mincer - sadly no longer. I’ve just been to an old Victorian walled garden and green house lots of vintage garden equipment, which I’m sure with a bit of oil and TLC would still work as well as the day they were made. Take care Gary. 🌻🌻🌻
Hello, its good to hear from you, the best days out include a walled garden ! i dream of owning one and have visited many. what amazes me is they use more bricks than the house sometimes ! I get excited over walled gardens with their micro climates they have. Sound like you had a great day out. thanks and take good care.
Hello Lindsay, hope all is well. I want an old hand cranked washing mangle but Vicky is worried she will have to use it ! thanks for popping by, keep safe and well.
Hello Ortorea, its good to hear from you, as your now the modern system would no longer work as well if things were built to last like the old days. It thrives on a throw away society. I collect hand cranked useful tools just in case of power cuts, we get a few here, the longest one lasted 2 days. Ive just brought a large 2 speed hand drill from a car boot sale, very old and well made. thanks and take good care.
HA ha yes it does, im now singing "spong spong spong spong". The current consumer system only works for things that last for 5 minutes that are made from plastic. hate the modern world ! ha ha thanks Dave, take good care
Great video as usual Gary. Just what I needed to put a smile on my face. Just spent 2 hours on hospital bed having an intravenous lithocaine infusion to help with pain management. Now for 40 winks 🤣😂. Take care and keep safe 👍
Hello Carol its lovely to hear from you, hope your feeling better, sorry to hear this. I just googled lithocaine infusion, wow now i understand the level of pain your experiencing, i hope your feeling okay now. Keep safe and take good care
Great video as always, just pulled my onions today as the weather was looking iffy got them laid out on the kitchen table drying off. TRrents searching ebay for Spong, we did after watching a previous video manage to get hold of a cream maker so will be giving that a go, need to watch video again for ratios. Take care, stay safe and see you soon 😃 xxxx
Hello Deborah, hope all is well, the weather has really put a delay on things this year. I guess the butter and milk ratio, but thicker cream needs more butter, i also add a little honey then its luxury cream ! The cream maker comes out for homemade apple pies here. The Music i used is mainly copyright free and this track is Dream life by DJ quads. the link is here ==> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4mG9J5f_HwM.html. Thanks Deborah, keep safe and well, take good care.
Wow you are a real inspiration I have a small holding in France I bought just over a year ago. I love life now more than I ever have I could use some advice
Hello David, thanks so much for your kind words. wow France is a great place for smallholding, i understand you get a lot for your money over there compared to the UK. Smallholding life is so much better than being a slave to the system, yes it makes life so much more happier and gives a sense of freedom. good luck on your new smallholding, keep safe and well, sorry for a late reply, as you know working the land is a busy job.
Hello, thanks for popping by, im very in paranormal activity, our cottage is over 220 years old and im pretty sure its haunted ! glasses smashing, constant knocking in the night, very faint voices as well , it no longer frightens us as we are all used to this. We have lived here for 7 years now. Ive had to subscribe to your channel, thanks and take good care.
@@ESCAPINGTHEMATRIXFORGOOD Firstly, thanks for subscribing, every person make a big difference. Spirit is all around us and not everyone is able to connect in any way, so it is nice to hear that you can hear your guests doing what they do. Sometimes they do want to communicate and that is when they start getting a little more adventurous and attempt to get our attention.
blah ha ha, but im getting there ! i have a hand cranked tool fetish ! i got a lovely large 2 speed hand drill last week at the boot sale. Thanks Steve, hope your keeping well, take good care
Had a good chuckle over the Lead paint gag haha - I love all these powerless gadgets - Proper British Engineered quality products that last a life time.
Hello, i once heard a news story of someone making wine in an old old cast iron bath and they give themselves lead poisoning ! but its sounds like they was a bit dumb before hand. I collect hand cranked tools just in case the grid goes down ( not paranoid ! ha ha) , we also get many power cuts here in bad weather as our electricity lines run on poles for miles and miles. our longest power cut has been 2 days. Last week i got a large 2 speed hand cranked drill. Its very old and still works a treat, a great boot sale find for just a fiver. In the future i want an old washing mangle. The trouble is that the current system only works on mass consumerism so things are not built to last anymore and god i hate bloody plastic things that break easy ! Keep safe and well, hope your all keeping well and little man is sleeping and growing well , take good care
Thanks pal thats just cost me £18.90 on ebay for a spong 630 Already got the bean slicer and 2 or 3 old mincers proper old tackle that just does the job for ever. *edit* just to clear up,when i said 2 or 3 old mincers i meant meat mincers lol
Blah ha ha and there's me imagining some really old people with a bag of toffees but not getting there false teeth stuck together ! . Quite a good image though ! ha ha. Im also investing in old hand cranked tools for my workshop as well, just bought a lovely large 2 speed hand drill. Thanks Mark, hope your keeping well, take good care
Hello Steve, its good to here from you, hope your keeping well. I have noticed your viral video is still doing the rounds ! the whole of the western world has seen it i think ! thanks Steve, keep safe and well.
@@ESCAPINGTHEMATRIXFORGOOD Thanks Garry hope you all are keeping well too. Sorry I have been away so long I was not too well. I lost interest in everything and didn't want to keep going. Much better now though :)
