Nice job! I seen one of these as a kid. My uncle used to make his own wine (he was Italian) and grew his own grapes and pressed them, and keep the wine/juice in wooden barrels in the cellar. He also had a garden and grew hot peppers he would pickle and keep jars and jars of peppers in the cellar too, next to the wine barrels.
Avril! You had me worried. Until each of these restorations has passed your safety inspection, I just can't trust them. Glad to see you're still on the job.
Cat timestamps(might have missed some): 21:46 ~ coming in a little late, it's the orange fluff, Avril! 24:00 ~ Fluffy assistant checking the quality 24:25 ~ how to make a nice ending, add a cat Was munching on some grapes while watching this. No fig for me though. Thanks for the video! Nice work. God bless you!
Interesting project, makes one appreciate the work that went into making wine in olden days. Considering the size of this vat, a bottle of wine can take quite a while to make. Kudos for the grape juice.
That Hammerite paint is some pretty good stuff. I use it regulary since it came out in the eighties. I have some pieces of wood painted 30 years ago and stored outside. They still look like freshly painted. The only offset is its very long cure time. I let everything rest for at least a month before further assembly. Just till it doesen´t smell anymore. After that its extremely reliable.....btw...top restoration.
I must tell you. My work shop has never ever, ever been that tidy! Your video editing and presentation of processing the build is nice. I have only liked a few cats. That said yours seems the exception. So much personality in four legs. I bet it’s a good hunter. Be well in this time. Til next time.
Yes it gives flavour too like different barrels. Works the same. And don't expect your drink being made out of clean fruits except if its top shelf stuff
@@jarlbalgruufthegreater1758 lol. I don't even know where to begin with this. That's not how it works. I'm a bourbon drinker. I've been to several distilleries and wineries. The barrels are raw wood, sometimes charred at most... They do not contain axel grease, rust proofing sprays, pesticides, paints, etc, nor are they made with wood that has been heavily attacked by wood boring insects like this press was. The distillation process is extensive and clean to sterile from beginning to end, so I'm not sure where you get your low expectations from for clean fruit. The only difference between the standard brew and the "high end" stuff is aging and marketing. That's it.
Also, how would you market your Axel Jelly Burgundy? "Smooth, charred, floral notes with a hint of insecticide perfectly melded with rustproofing, and a healthy splash of candied apple bolt grease? LMFAO
That looks great. I’m glad you didn’t varnish the wooden slats and that you kept it “rustic” it still looks antique yet but “clean antique” if you know what I mean 👏👏
Beautiful work, dude! Really nicely done! 😃 Take good care of your cat! I just lost mine... She was 16 years old. 😔 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! Cats included! 🖖😊
I have a press similar to this one. It has washers under those securing pins. They look original. Maybe yours had those, but in the past thery were lost. Perfect restoration nevertheless. Big like.
An excellent restoration , and just in time for harvest, they still sell exactly the same press here in the Lot, I thought Avril was going to drink your grape juice there, better go and pick some more grapes! Stay safe ! Chris B.
J'ai adoré ce travail très compliqué parce que plein de petites pièces très jolie de résultat et pleins de souvenirs de cette presse a raisin un résultat magnifique .ça avril qui fait le contremaître
Loved how you kept the wood looking worn. Also loved the engineering in this device, they really knew how to make things last back then. Your restorations are awesome! Thankyou!
WOW what a great project. Lots of work removing old rust and grape crud so I hope these big projects pay better than the little ones. Watch that cat as they tend to over indulge. Excellent work!
6:35 it's almost as if he can communicate through his craft. I get a sense that he's trying to tell us something, like "treat they Neighbor as thyself," Or "live life to its fullest". Oh well, if only I could speak his language...
Commenting as I am watching. Would Hammerite and can spray paint be enough to stop the growth of the pitted rust? I thought etcher primer would be what to use before the top coat paint.
The next time you need to paint a shaft instead of wrapping your tape around the shaft, tape down the length instead. Makes it easier to remove the tape. PS thanks for the videos I enjoy them.
Awsome! It is pretty close to the cider season in my country too, so this will realy come in handy if i manage to find one, now i know how to restore it properly! ha ha
Такой пресс нельзя ничем смазывать, все эти смазки и пропитки попадают в сок. У нас такие прессы только моют и вытирают насухо, никаких красок, пропиток или смазок!
j'adore vos choix de restaurations, tous ces vieux outils auxquels vous redonnez vie, c'est juste extraordinaire, Bravo vous avez beaucoup de talents ! 👍👍
I have a lot of Russian tools, 19 - 25 years old, there is very little German, there are 2 sewing machines Singer (but they are normal, they still sew), the paint is peeled off of course
Drink moderately ! Even more if you’re a cat 😽
Tu nous as manqué. 1 mois sans vidéo 😀

LADB Restoration . How can I send you a pair of photos of two Antique Grape Press?
My email is on the description ! ☺️
What a very clever mechanism! And it is so satisfying to see a beautiful machine brought back to life! Happy to see my favorite inspector, as well 😺
My grandparents still have one in perfect condition and they still use it

Avril! You had me worried. Until each of these restorations has passed your safety inspection, I just can't trust them. Glad to see you're still on the job.
I am fully expecting them to record a video using all the Vinyard equipment they've restored to actually make wine.
I have a quick question, do people request you to do this and send in something or do you find things to restore?
Such beautiful, meticulous work. So satisfying to see all the pieces on the table all clean and shiny and ready to put back together. Love it.
You did a great job. Your channel has the tools to recover very old and strange
I was beginning to get worried for a moment, but then, the inspector showed up!

Hmmmm... Do you think, perhaps, that someone is a bit jealous of Avril's popularity? Why else would she be relegated to the end of the video...?
@@DonnaMSchmid never :)

It’s always a joy to see Avril inspecting your work!

Perfect job buddy. I'm getting ready for it too. I have bought it for about 10 years and I haven't gotten to it yet :)) Thanks Radek
Thank you Radek !!
Very nice !! I love the red with the natural wood !! Works great !! And works wonderful well done !! 👍👍👍
Excellent work👍👍👍 . Thanks for sharing. It reminded me of when my father used to make wine at home and I would do the pressing.
Very pretty restoration. I'm guessing you are not planning on ever using it to press grapes since you stained the wood.
I really like how you restored and reused the old planks so it kept the rustic old look.

Beautiful work! Polishing all those bolts takes patience and dedication. Avril approves!
Awesome! I like that you try to keep old parts as much as possible.

My fav restoration channel 👍
My second fav restauration channel, right after My Mechanics.
Thats what happens when you do the thing you like, perfect work
Desde Venezuela lo saludo, tremenda restauración de esta prensa para uvas, lo felicito.
Question... doesn't all that grease and wax and rustproofing and whatever else you put on this device get in the grapes?
Yes

wow? was any of the paint,stain or oil used for this food safe?? hope its used for display only, but great otherwise.
Excellent work!! Well done 👍👍👍

Great job on such a beautiful piece of antique machinery, They certainly knew how to engineer things back in the day, Avril is still a sweetie.
Me gustó su trabajo,pero lo felicito de alma por el Sr Gato.Un saludo desde Argentina.
Great restoration ..I really like the items you choose to restore. Always interesting stuff. Thanx
Im here for the cat
Same
Aren’t we all
Phwww. I thought we may not have seen Avril. Nice job and you answered all my questions about how it works. Thanks Stuart 🇦🇺
OH NOOOOOO! you removed all the stuff needed to make a great wine: rust, rotten wood, dust and paint chips! :)
Simply mesmerizing your work...congratulations....from Brazil
Zinc may be removed much easier using 70% vinegar acid.
Beautiful work, dude! Really nicely done! 😃
Take good care of your cat! I just lost mine... She was 16 years old. 😔
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! Cats included! 🖖😊

Hihi 😉
Avril was late for work today. Must have been visiting his girl friends; handsome devil that he is.
Loved how you kept the wood looking worn. Also loved the engineering in this device, they really knew how to make things last back then. Your restorations are awesome! Thankyou!
Travail colossal encore une fois ! Bravo pour cette superbe restauration. Fluffy est bien dodu dis donc ! :D
WOW what a great project. Lots of work removing old rust and grape crud so I hope these big projects pay better than the little ones. Watch that cat as they tend to over indulge. Excellent work!
Excellent work as always!
I love your supercatvisor!
Avril is the official quality controller !
Great job! Please let us know how the wine turns out!
Wow! Thor's hammer! Greating, now you given super power!
Aren't you supposed to put the grapes inside of a cloth bag before pressing?
A fantastic restoration! I bet you can make apple cider with the same press. Of course Avril had to taste test the grape juice.
6:35 it's almost as if he can communicate through his craft. I get a sense that he's trying to tell us something, like "treat they Neighbor as thyself," Or "live life to its fullest". Oh well, if only I could speak his language...

Great work as usual. Love your cat. Would painter’s tape be easier to work with?
Muito legal esse canal, gosto por tudo, e também por não usar fundo musical ainda bem. Assim é melhor a concentração.
4:05 isso é ar comprimido? sempre tive essa dúvida
É um jato de areia que serve pra proteger e tirar a ferrugem
@Matheus Souza nossa que legal, obrigada por responder :)
@@slouise3032 de nada
Très bon travail de sauvetage ! Et comme dès toujours, Avril est précieuse.
Excellent work with dedication.
The next time you need to paint a shaft instead of wrapping your tape around the shaft, tape down the length instead. Makes it easier to remove the tape. PS thanks for the videos I enjoy them.
Que viene a ser ese aparato. Para que sirve. Esta muy buena la restauración👍
I have missed your videos. Glad to see you are ok and thank you!
Great to see the old new again.
It turned out really well!
Excellent work sir. How many hours work did you do?
Awsome!
It is pretty close to the cider season in my country too, so this will realy come in handy if i manage to find one, now i know how to restore it properly! ha ha
I have one at my house that we use yearly when grapes are fine. It's very fun tbh
Have you tried AeroKroil? We use it in aviation and it it very effective.
Merci pour cette vidéo,
un bon jus de raisin fraichement pressé c'est excellent !!
Comme d’habitude, excellent travail 👍
Echt Klasse geworden!👍🏻
Такой пресс нельзя ничем смазывать, все эти смазки и пропитки попадают в сок. У нас такие прессы только моют и вытирают насухо, никаких красок, пропиток или смазок!
Это для винтажа, а не для работы.
Кот тоже нельзя чтобы был при процессе.
Why don't you use a pressure washer to clean off the rough dirt and grime?
Wont the paint dissolve into the grape juice?
As always. Love your style!
Belle restauration encore une fois :) 💪🏻
Awesome restorations and a fluffy cat👉subscribed!
j'adore vos choix de restaurations, tous ces vieux outils auxquels vous redonnez vie, c'est juste extraordinaire, Bravo vous avez beaucoup de talents ! 👍👍
You are perfect in your job 👍👍👍
How old were you when you first started doing/helping with restoration and repairs?
But a French cat should be able to drink a bit more than others??? Nice work!
Hi , i have the same press at home but it works .
I have a lot of Russian tools, 19 - 25 years old, there is very little German, there are 2 sewing machines Singer (but they are normal, they still sew), the paint is peeled off of course
Very much enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Well! I am getting tired of waiting until the end to see Avril. He’s my favorite. Give him some loving from me, please.
BrazilLady - I agree. Give him his own channel. Or at least a personal video, I say.
Great job and lovely cat :)
Beautiful color,nice restoration.😎👍
Magnifique restauration bravo .
It looks awesome, l am sure that you are going to put it to work as soon as the grapes are ready
Талант - не дар, а наважденье; похвал не ищет и не ждёт, предпочитая осужденье, где чаще знание живёт.
Привет из Америке 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
One question, why do you use WD-40 and not something like Kroil or PB Blast?
Very nice work you must be proud of this
Honestly who's here for the restoration cause I'm just here for the cat 🐈
schönes Ergebnis 😘 gut umgesetzt 🤔🙄😁👍👌
und wie immer von diesem Bonsai-Tiger 🦁 als gut betrachtet 🥰👌👍 miaoooo
Great job! Every day we must give thanks to the God of power tools
Nice restoration mate .
Nice job getting the barrel bands off without scuffing up the bands.
06:37 - one way of economising on blasting medium!
Where do I get that cool little wrench that you used for the bolts on the side pieces?
Mixing the old parts with the new parts gives it more character
