That first one is a coconut scraper. It's commonly used in SouthEast Asia. 🥥 This particular one doesn't look necessarily very antique. Nineteen 50s maybe. The same design is still being used by many
I have that lens cup and while filming a segment one time I had a intern with me and I handed him the "lens" asking him to hold it for a second and said don't drop this it's very expensive and right as it was about to change hands I dropped it. The look on his face as the color left his face will be something I'll never forget. The cup or lens was completely fine.
Like Tim I assumed it was for scraping out the insides of softer fruits like lemons or oranges. But coconut scraper does make a lot more sense, especially seeing as it sturdily nails into the wall which implies a level of resistance you don't need with something soft like a lemon.
@@rodenreyes6320 pfft it runs on asian grandmother energy, who needs a motor lol. also the motorised ones are far more dangerous because they can easily hurt the user if the blades catch or the base cannot properly attach to a countertop or smth. much rather use it by hand.
Tim that is a coconut scraper, we own one at my house, we often use it to scrape out the white flesh of the coconut for various dishes, it's very useful, our one is made entirely of metal and is screwed onto a table top in order to scrape coconuts.
No foolin. You got one of those? I had a Led zeppelin album cover that had dried watercolors on it. "In through the outdoor". I found out the hard way. I got it wet, next thing I knew it was like an easter egg coloring class gone awry. 😆
I like how the coconut scraper (even the recently bought ones) in most of our homes is the same as was probably more than a hundred years ago. Guess all are happy with it's design and ease of use, and no one bothers to over engineer and overcomplicate the coconut grater.
I loved hearing the "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" getting slower and more ominous the whole time. It was like I was expecting the boogeyman to pop out when the song was done. I know that wasn't intentional but I found this endlessly amusing!
Well that is a coconut scraper, makes very tiny shavings to extract coconut milk and oil. Pretty much found in every household in Singapore and India too…..
I think it would work it would work better with coconuts. Placing the device on the floor and your knee on the board for leverage. My grandmother's use something similar but it is just one plank of wood and one round pointy blade
@@Oliver-ku1tf As a matter of fact, I HAVE! And not only did they provide me with that whisper-quiet miracle machine, but they also threw in a bottle of Sun-and-Run, the sun block that is also a laxative!
As evidenced by the red stripe and the L in the product name, the lens is meant to mimic Canon's F-series lenses, which are usually of higher quality and price than non-red-striped offerings.
That first one is actually a coconut scraper for making coconut strips which is used in many things. Here in the Philippines There are a lot of motorized scrapers and spoons attached to stools
The other day I watched someone going through some antiques. He came across one marked 'foreign', and mentioned that during WW2, items made in Germany would sometimes be marked that way for sales in North America and elsewhere, because otherwise people didn't want to buy them, fearing that doing so would be seen as supporting the German war effort. Great video! I thought the coconut scraper might have bee a tool for hollowing out the bowl of a wooden spoon. lol Oops. In hindsight, the coconut scraper makes much more sense. Cheers!
My first thought of the first mechanism was either a cheese or soap grater. However, the bottom-line is, any mechanism is whatever the end user uses it for independent of the inventor's intent.
I mean it could be a mother because the mothers do take care of the chicka after they come back from fishing in Julyish we don't know how old the baby is to be certain
I've never seen a coconut scrapper exactly like that one. That circular design is usually seen in the electric ones, which are usually attached to wet grinders. Manual ones we normally use in home aren't designed like that. They're flat. And you scrape the coconut over the teeth. Takes 10 minutes for me, mum does it in 1 minute. (And with electric ones, it would barely take 10 seconds) Rotating the handle and holding the coconut at the same time sounds very difficult tho
You made me smile today. I used to scrape the coconut for my Ammachi (Grandmother) and I took forever. She could do it so fast and got everything down to the shell out. We had a scraper that was built on a little footstool-type platform, and you would sit on it with the coconut between your legs and get good leverage that way. And yes, it was flat, not spherical.
Another great one! It's a nice break from all the negative crap in the world, to see the cleverness and imaginativeness of people. There's a bit of a public service in that. Thanks!
4:38 I walked along the avenue I never thought I'd meet a girl like you Meet a girl like you With auburn hair and tawny eyes The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through Hypnotize me through And I ran, I ran so far away I just ran, I ran all night and day I couldn't get away A cloud appears above your head A beam of light comes shining down on you Shining down on you The cloud is moving nearer still Aurora borealis comes in view Aurora comes in view And I ran, I ran so far away I just ran, I ran all night and day I couldn't get away Reached out a hand to touch your face You're slowly disappearing from my view 'Pearing from my view Reached out a hand to try again I'm floating in a beam of light with you A beam of light with you And I ran, I ran so far away I just ran, I ran all night and day And I ran, I ran so far away I just ran, I couldn't get away
"Made in Japan" Me: see the "Made in China" sticker Me: also realizes Tim is reading from the SIDE of the mug which has "Made in Japan" as part of the gag. Me: *chuckles*
I don't care that it's actually a coconut scraper, Tim just invented the best manual juicer right then and there. These need to replace those plastoc squeeze cups
I've got an idea for a YT channel - we're going to take my English grandpa to the goodwill and let him spend like $45 and then explain all the little knick-knacks he finds to the camera!
The coloring book is kinda like the album cover to Led Zeppelins In Through the OutDoor. They had six different album covers of the same image, but of different camera angles. On top of that, If you look closely, you can see little dots, they're dried watercolors. I found out the hard way. If you have that album cover and insist on putting it to the test, use caution. Pick an inconspicuous spot and just touch it with a damp Q-tip. If it gets too wet, it'll screw up the album cover. Colors will run all over it.
that is a badly designed coco scraper, the ones that work well are just a rounded serrated blade affixed to a cutting board, you sit on the board with the blade between your knees and use both hands to rasp the coco over it and drop the shavings into a big bowl beneath you. now gather it all up in a clean cloth and squeeze out the milk. soak cubes of fresh yellowfin tuna in seawater for a half hour, then remove and soak them in lime juice for 5 minutes. Remove the fish and reserve the juice. Toss the fish with tomatoes, cucumbers slices and shredded carrots and dress with the fresh coconut milk and a few spoonfulls of reserved limejuice. refrigerate. serve with hot rice. even better the next day.
I dont know why but this video made me feel strangely at peace. Watching him enjoy the smallest almost mundane little things was... refreshing... finding joy in the smaller things in life is such a great thing. I thank you for bringing a smile to my face and a tear to my eye.
Fascinating stuff! The two strange little pockets in the card wallet are for keys. The problem with this is if you lose your wallet and it contains your driver license, house key and car key, you have a big problem if the finder is less than honorable
Doe the coconut crak slowly expand a hole pushed into a coconut shell, avoiding the need for a hammer in the kitchen? I always wondered how people who used them a lot raw dealt with the hard shells routinely.
I think the Bambi one is for a visitor's book. It was placed outside your door so if your friends popped in they could write on it 'I came by, you were not home, I come back after six' or something. Also mailmen could write on it, 'I came with a large packet, come pick it up from post office'
Totally a coconut meat shredder. They're usually stationary, though. I Think this would be difficult to use. The old ones are mounted on a log that one sits on. One's weight keeps it in place while one moves the coconut shell around to shred out the meat, inside.
