  • Here is a new video !!
    This is a vintage kitchen scale produced by Salter around 1910/20 in Great Britain.
    "Salter's Family Scale N°50" Silvester's Patent - weighs up to 15 kg.
    It's made of cast iron and brass.
    It was in very bad shape, pretty much rusted, I thought it would be a very easy project...
    I spent 3 weeks trying to face up several issues :)
    By supporting the channel you help me make more of these video and find more amazing items.
    I hope you'll enjoy this restoration.
    Thanks a lot for watching !

    As always - a masterpiece! First the scale itself and whoever built in first place, then watching your talent excel on restoring it and - I repeat myself, I know! - the filming and editing, fantastic job.

    Never thought that the scale would be that shiny! Good job with this restoration! I really love those camera angles! How you let us see the details,the cracks and holes and how you fix them. It made me feel involved just by watching and not just like "stay in that corner, look from there" Thank you for your hardwork 😁
    Ps. Am I the only one who feel relax watching his videos? I feel ASMR tingles watching his restoration.

On a side note, I was making a daube provencal the other day and wished I had some chanterelles from southern France to put in it. And a nice Bandol rose' (preferably "Le Pont") to go with it. I haven't been to your homeland since 2011 and I seriously need to visit! Merci beaucoups Mr. Fabrik!

    Beautiful job, but I wondered why you were concerned about putting a bit of heat on the cast iron. Welders regularly preheat cast iron exhaust manifolds to 600 degrees F in order to weld cracks/breaks. Done it myself a time or two.

    • @TheFabrik

      Thank you !!! The crack was already there. It’s just it was too hot in my opinion, more than 1000°C... And when the cast iron cooled down it fell apart...
