1950's Vintage Ice Crusher Restoration

- In this video I restore a vintage ice crushing machine from the 1950s.
After dismantling I start by sandblasting the corrosion with 70 grit black aluminum oxide. I then file down any imperfections and repair a crack with aluminum weld. The inside is then powder coated flat black and the outside is powder coated Tiffany blue.
The next step was to remake the missing handle. I used spare parts I could find in the shop to construct the new handle. This thing crushes ice with ease!

The colour you chose is perfect for that era. Great job....
Looks almost like an AT-ST from Star Wars
Alright alright you’re invited to the next party but please bring this beast with you 😅
I've never seen one of these ...and I'm 50 years old. Cool video, great restoration, and excellent editing!
great restoration
The Tiffany blue is the perfect shade for ice.
I think I would have used a white "food safe" enamel on the inside, the outside could be almost any art deco color. I remember seeing ads for these in "home beautiful" magazines from the late 50's and early 60's. 😊
I saw him taping up the top and bottom and thought, "Finally a restorer is going to leave the surfaces that touch the food in bare, food-safe metal as the manufacturer intended and just powder coat the outside."
My grandmother had a type that attached to the wall at eye level. It had a cup at the bottom to catch the ice. It was plain cast aluminum. Not painted at all. Circa 1960.
Looks like a one legged chicken 😁
It looks great and you did a wonderful job restoring it as well!!!! I think it would have looked better with white not black on the inside but it's not mine LOL
I enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up
You’re the second person to say that it should have been white and I agree! Didn’t cross my mind 🙂
Thanks for making me have to go to the bathroom at the end of your video.
😅
Beautiful job my mind is just blown away by your craftsman ship and to be able to restore old things way to go
You made Tiffany beautiful again.
Great, keep it up my friend I will follow your development on your channel❤
Thank you :)
My grandparents still had this same ice crusher when I was 9 years old in the 70s. Thanks for this wonderful memory.
Very nice!
I have the same Ryobi grinder set-up!
Despite I myself don't like Tifanny Blue I must say it's very beautiful.
Thank you, the wife agrees
Good afternoon from Southeast South Dakota
Good afternoon Slim!
What a nifty little gadget! I love the color. Wonderful job!
Excellent I really enjoy the color
Thanks!
Great job, friend. I love this video you made it look so beautiful. Acclaim. 👍👏 Wishing you all the best and see you soon.
That thing unfinished reminds me of half of an AT-AT Walker from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.
Cool job that makes cold stuff!
Came out very nice. I like the color. I have a Hamilton Beech commercial mixer from the same period that color.
Nice! Thank you
Awesome work.
Fantastic restoration job you did on that ice crusher. It looks much better and it works like a charm too. Excellent work as usual.
Thank you George!!!
Tiffany blue yes I will thank you! Great job as always
Very nice 👍
I hope you called it Beverly :)
I shall call it Beverly
That looks great. Very nice color choice

Restaurada quebrador de gelo 🧊😉
Awesome restoration!
Awesome!
Thanks!
Nice restoration. But not sure the ice crusher is worth bothering with -- an ice pick would do the same job.
👍
Sometimes new things do in fact work better; this was basically the best they had for home use, and you can see how uneven the ice is. Great restoration, though!
Great point!
Beautiful job as always. How do you select the sandblasting medium?
It just depends on how “soft” the metal is or how much material you need to remove
Living so close to the address listed on this item, I had to look up what's there now. It's currently a furniture restoration spot.
That’s funny
Why didn't you straighten the front foot before sanding it flat?
I was afraid it would break, especially since the back already had a crack
Did you reverse the handle?
not sure why you'd go through the trouble of restoring something just to paint it seafoam green, but I guess every pot has a lid.
Should have painted it to look like a Battle Droid from Star Wars…lol
lol that would have been sick
that 1950's Vintage Ice Crusher pick them up for $36.00
❤
Do you have a link to the dremel setup you used? That was very useful looking
It’s made by Ryobi
Such a teaser at the end......could be water, I suppose??!!!
it would of stuck out a lot more if the letters where you place the cup were a different color then the tiffany blue.
👏👏👏👍👍🇧🇻
Сколько пройдёт времени, пока твои полированые детали и болт под деревянной ручкай покроятся ржавчиной?

you find them or all the objects you restore
Yes antique stores or flea markets

I hope that black powder coating is food safe.
If I really want crushed ice I’ll use the dispenser in my fridge door 😉
@@DrRestorationproblem comes if this gets into someone else's hands without them knowing.
@orandilu989 Yeah, it was much safer before the restoration 😌. Pretty much a museum piece. Probably not many still around that would even know its purpose without a Google search.
Powder coating is food safe, particularly in this application where heat won't be a factor in use

Помыл, почистил, покрасил
