1871 Candy Drop Roller Restoration - Thomas Mills

  • Today I'm restoring a drop candy roller machine made by Thomas Mills & Bro. Making candy is much more fun and easy than I expected! The machine is made of heavy cast iron and the rollers are bronze. I started by sandblasting it to remove the rust, then powder coating to bring it back the shine and finally making lots of candy.

      There’s a pretty cool channel where a guy still makes candy in a shop with similar machines. Not anything I would follow but cool if you need a relevant distraction.
      Edit: what the f is going on in the bottom of these comments? The channel I was talking about is brought up but I can’t even find the reply now. Just don’t interact with these comments.

    So this guy is an expert in powder coating, metal working, wood working, sandblasting, milling, finishing, mechanics, knows how to brass plate with heat, and can cook sugar to the perfect temperature without burning it (very tricky for the inexperienced) to make hard candy. What a beautiful restoration and display of an impressive array of skills!

    Considering this tool is from 1871, it was in really good condition. Minimal rusting, very few stuck or broken pieces, and still 'worked' without restoration. It's amazing how well some old tools were made compared to some things we get today that barely last for a few months. The end product was simply beautiful as well, great job!

    As a classic car enthusiast, I know that a “full restoration” is almost a unicorn. The people selling such have wide ranging definitions for restoration. The only one used by classic car purists is when the subject has been returned to the exact condition it was in when it left the manufacturer. This means restoring things that will never be seen after reassembly, requiring the complete dismantling of it - every nut, bolt and screw. This candy machine was restored to perfection.

      It's less insane than you'd imagine. Stuff was built a lot tougher back then. You won't see this stuff happening in 150 years to current items. The polymers would all dry/rot/stiffen up, so if there are restorations like this in the future it's going to be automated 3D printing stuff, not actually restoring the product.

    With that said it's been a while since the last post and I will say I definitely miss it! Other channels just don't do it quite the same as this one.

    Really loved watching you rescue and restore that candy maker. I don't know why, but it is so fascinating watching the powder coating being baked on and the clear coat going from the powder to a shiny clear. Then to watch you actually use it to make candy was wonderful. Thank you for the work you put in to restoring and making this video.
