1933 French Hand Cranked Grinder - Restoration
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 тра 2024
- Restoring an old french hand cranked grinder from Val D'or , very possibly dating from 1933.
As the title suggests, I restored this wonderful and complex tool. My dear friend from OTND Restoration channel sent me.
I started the restoration, by disassembly, as usual. As I have seen in other restorations of the same tool, I expected the sprockets to be simple, attached only to the holes in the gearbox. I was very surprised when I opened the gearbox and saw that it also had ball bearings. That was the moment when I realized that this restoration is a bit more complex, but at the same time even more satisfying. This restoration video is a little longer than I usually do, but I did it to make the work satisfying for you. Apart from asmr restoration, you will see many things restored using hands, others being restored with the help of the lathe. You will also see sandblasting, powder coating, making new parts on the lathe machine , diamond dressing grinding wheel , making new parts on the milling machine and etching brass for making a new name plate for this beautiful tool.
I worked with pleasure as I do every time, and this will be seen in the video. I hope you enjoy both , video editing and restoration.
I also want to thank you for your patience in waiting for my videos and thank you for giving me love in your comments. Cheers , David !

I just wanted to stay thank you for your videos. I have anxiety that gets worst before falling asleep or even, like now, middle of the night, I wake up, my brain goes haywire, and I found that watching your videos calms me down. I don't worry, I don't stress as much. I just enjoy the process. So thank you
Glad you enjoy my videos. Be well Sara 😊
To think that it is still functional even before being restored. This is what I call quality. Quality products last a lifetime.
True 👌
Agreed
Love watching your restorations! No BS chattering or annoying music. Just the sounds of tools! This grinder came out beautifully!
Thanks a lot again 😊
My dad had a rusty grinder almost like this. Would send hours as a kid in his workshop sharpening anything I could get my hands on. Really brings back memories. Now it lies hidden away in a cupboard... Would love to restore it one day and display it with pride in my workshop. Thank you for the video! Your work is amazing.
Thank you very much and glad you liked it Mawio 😊
This is more than just a restoration, this is turning an everyday object into a piece of art.
Thanks Mark 😊
Answers the question of "how did this thing looked and worked when it was new". Some stuff from about 100 years ago was pretty complex technology. Hand cranked and otherwise human powered machines tend to be quite interesting.

This is fantastic, also I really appreciated the editing that went into this where you reassembled the mechanism and housing before going back to the wheel, absolutely brilliant as always!
Thank you very much and glad you liked it 😊
You are a braver man than me, dressing the wheel on your lathe. 😃
Wow, now this is a work of art. I have such a soft spot for analog tools, and to have this in my workshop would be a dream. Masterfully done!
Thank you very much Georgia 😊 yeah , is a unique item and works like a charm 👌 glad you liked it
You promised an exceptional resto and you sure delivered an exceptional resto. Very well done once again.
Thank you very much mate 😊👍🏻
This is the best Restoration Channel on UA-cam. Thank you for your videos.
Thanks for not showing us your pets, not doing "magic tricks", not taking a break to drink something, actually restoring the object, and more.
Your channel should be called Better Than New Restoration, because that's what you really do. I cannot praise your work enough. Please do not change.
Thanks Scott and glad you liked it so much 😊 I try my best every time and I hope to not disappoint
Morning coffee and restoration videos...the cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast
Thanks and glad you enjoy my videos 😊
Dang. And here I was feeling proud of myself replacing the spray thing in my sink. Now I just feel outdone.
In all seriousness, this looks gorgeous! Wonderful job as always.
Thank you very much Pengun 😊
one of the coolest restorations. I kept whispering "that's so cool" many times as I watched. So clean and perfect!
Thank you very much for that 😊
Really appreciable! I wonder whether this hand grinder would have looked as new when sold first as it does now! Hats off to the restorer!
Thanks a lot and glad you enjoyed 😊
MAN. The roller press . How cool. Love the right tools 🛠️
Thank a lot Ralph and glad you enjoyed 😊
I always watch these and your restorations always blow me away. Between your custom parts and patience on the work, it's just a great combo!
Thanks man and Glad you follow me 🥰 cheers !
I really love the care and attention you gave to every single part. So much work and it shows that hard work pays off. The end result is so beautiful. Great restoration 👏 👏
Thank you very much buddy 😊
So happy I found your channel
Glad to hear that 😊
Powder coating is the absolute best way to paint. You did amazing
Yeah , it is! Thanks a lot Tonia 😊
It was so complex that at times I wasn't able to keep track what was happening. And that is a GOOD thing!
Awesome restoration, as always 👍
Thank you very much Arnav 😊
Absolutely SUPERIOR restoration. Simply outstanding!. It works perfectly and is incredible! Looks too good to use. BRAVO.
Thank you very much Prof J 😊
If every thing created like this, nothing will end in dustbin
Thank you for your hard work, brilliant and always satistifying
Thanks and glad you liked it so much 😊
The lathe machine working is the most satisfying part.
Indeed 👌
The Lathe, is always a mesmerizing Thing to Watch...1️⃣🔧🥹
I love every single video you post-- satisfying or not just the fact that you know how to restore literally ANYTHING and know how all the vintage things work. truly fascinating!
Thank you very much Samantha 😊
I love how you not only restore but improve on the original. Beautiful work!
Thanks a lot man 😊
I love the way you restore items and how you have all or enough machinery to make and restore parts properally
Thanks a lot for being here every time 🤗 cheers
I appreciate your surfacing work. Lots of softened edges is great for hand tools.
Thanks Scott 😊
This video is very satisfying. I'm waiting for your opinions in the comments and I will answer you all ! Cheers !!
Amazing work as usual. You sir, are a pro.
Where do you even get all this old stuff, do you get it from junkyard or do you buy it ?
Some I bought , some I found . In this case I bought it from France and OTND sent it to me.
I think you're going to sleep on the sofa again. 😉
🤣🤣
You make every step look so easy, so enjoyable to watch you bring things back to life.
Glad you liked it Dave 😊
Man ! Another 2hrs relaxing to watch your craft!
The restoration is cool. Again. Thank you. ☺
Thanks a lot 😊
Your resto's keep amazing me! The amount of skills, and level of proficiency you posess, is incredible. I love seeing the different approaches between you and your restoration "colleagues" here on youtube - The slight differences are interesting, especially seeing how you all end up with amazing results.
Another factor I love, is seeing all the different kinds of old equipment; Items that aren't made anymore, not to mention the rugged quality of stuff made to last, compared to our modern plastic equivalents, is really cool.
Can't wait to see all the projects you have to share in the future! Thank you, and good luck in the next ones!
Thank you very much buddy ! You are so kind saying that. Thanks again 😊
An incredible in depth restoration as always but honestly, the simplicity yet skilled nameplate recreation blew me away. Amazing job!!! 👍👍👍
Thanks a lot 😊
Great job bringing this back to life!!
Thanks a lot Jameson 😊
Great!!!! I like the part with small repairs the most! Actually, all parts!!!
Thank you very much Flavia and thanks because you write me every time 😊
The restored version looks absolutely splendid! I appreciate your hard work on restoring these items!
Thank you very much 😊
Espetacular restauração !!! Ganharia o primeiro prêmio em qualquer competição que participasse. Receba nossos calorosos cumprimentos diretos do Brazil !
Love the touch of brass decision. Really makes the tool pop.
Thanks James and glad you liked it 😊
So good. I watch these videos in bed at night. They help me put the day away.
Glad you enjoy them 😊
That turned out absolutely gorgeous, dude! A fantastic piece to use for years to come! Please keep up this excellent work and videography! You are doing a fantastic job! 🍻🤘💜
Glad you liked it Andy . Many thanks 😊
Well this grinder is definitely cool again! 😄 fantastic job mate, this is one of my favorite restoration videos and it was definitely worth the wait!
Talk about precise measurements! Dude Added more steel/metal to that crank handle!! SKILLL!! Just slid in without a hassle with that clamp.
Without a doubt a concourse restoration. That grinder was never that beautiful looking when it was fresh from the manufacturer. Great job!
Thank you very much Gary and glad you liked it 😊
Another excellent restoration you did there 👌👌👌 and great job for getting it to more better functional Hand Cranked Grinder💪
Thank you very much 😊
I love your content. It's always relaxing and inspiring. 🥰🥰🥰
That was amazing, I love just laying in bed and watching these satisfying videos of yours.
Thanks a lot Cooper 😊 glad you enjoyed
This parts are felling as a day at the spa when restored by you. All oiled in all the spots and sand masaged. A real treatment
True 😃😃 I want this treatment too 😅 lol
I really appreciate people like you who bring new life to these old items, you did a great job with this!
Thank you very much Alkkladtia 😊
Outstanding work! Really the care for the tiniest details is sooo awesome! :D
And always carefully dodging the reflections XD
Thank you very much. In next video I think I will reveal my face 🤣
I can imagine people restauring your machines you used to restore other machines with advanced machines.
Have been watching through your restorations from the oldest to the newest. This so far has been the best you have done. The result was fantastic. That grinder is now a thing of beauty. Well done.
Thank you very much Rodney and glad you enjoyed 😊
So is it a 1933 grinder, or a 1950 grinder
Another perfect restoration. Thank you for sharing it. Keep up the fantastic work.
Thank you very much 😊
at 1:55 its good to see someone else who knows what the flats are used for on a screwdriver shaft , and i love this resto
Glad you liked Earnie 😊thanks
Greetings from denmark
have a nice day 🤗🤗
Thank you very much Elena 🤗 have a nice day too 😊
👍 сейчас будем посмотреть
Beautiful outcome! 😍 Love it!
Thanks 😊
Honestly I wouldn’t have restored it this good! Like you are honestly so good it takes away from the patina of the piece!! You are too good at what you do😂😂
Thanks a lot 😊
You are by far the best restorer I’ve seen. There is nothing you can’t recreate from scratch. Incredible skills. Thank you and keep up the great work.
Thank you very much Matthew 😊
Thank you for giving life to this 89 year old bed ridden hand cranked grinder. You gave this grinder a chance. You made it look like it came straight out of the factory fresh out of the oven. Keep on grinding @Cool Again Restoration, lol. This is a message from a fellow subscriber.
Thank you very much my dear subscriber 😊 cheers 🍻
Amazing job buddy, especially on label production. How long has it been soaked in a ferric chloride bath?
Thanks Radek! It was soaked in chloride about 30 minutes but depend how deep you want the etching and depend what temperature it is the chloride solution. I preheated mine at 40 degree
@@CoolAgainRestoration Thanks for the info David , I always wanted to try it :)
Such amazing restoration. 👍👍
Thank you very much 👍
respects to this guy he can restore almost everything 😀👍
At least I try 😅
I said it before, you are one of a kind, your restoration's are beyond my imagination.
Keep up the good work, well done friend!
Thank you very much Mustafa 😊👌
wonderful restoration! the handle crank looks like it was cast, I've heard that cast iron needs to be pre-heated before it can be safely welded, does this matter for a small object like this where the entire section is heated by the welding or did you pre heat it off screen? I really like that you added a brass core so that you didn't have to remake the wooden handle.
It was hand forged 👍🏻
Another badass project! Love your work!
Thanks again mate 😊
Великолепно! Без слов. Блестящая работа. Просто невозможно оторвать глаза за работой. Спасибо за видик. Успех в дальнейшем. 👍👍👍
Question.... when you use the lathe and take a little off a part, does this not make a difference when if goes back together?
Had a hard time enjoying the rest of video after watching this. Should have spray welded it to build up metal. Then turned it down to right size. Just because it looks good does not mean it was done right. I am being very critical but this is what they do for a job.
Hi @I’m right you’re wrong! Normally yes but depend where that part goes after. In my case, that parts was not damaged if I take it a little of material. I read it what Jamed wrote and he has right. But not in this case. Where needed to remove some material ( I removed to the gear where the handle is attached) for making it smaller and to can add a bush after. I attached the bush to the handle and after that they fit perfectly.
@@CoolAgainRestoration thanks 👍🏼
@@CoolAgainRestoration I'm going to say BS you removed material off the shaft on the first gear which made it smaller It is now not going to fit as intended by the manufacturer You're just playing wrong admit it yeah you have nice tools but you certainly don't know what you're doing when it comes to machining or at least you don't know about allowable tolerances I don't know maybe they do something different on the other side of the world but I've been machining parts for over 30 years in states and not how it works here if you do something like that here it's called a Chicago rebuild maybe you should have just painted the damn thing and sent it on its way would have been tighter.
@@whatdoyouthinktodd I mean he did just explain that he added a bushing to make up for the lost material but reading comprehension doesnt seem to be your strong suit lol
Enjoyed every part till you had the juice for your wife that was acid. Admittedly a joke for you, but personally I never make my wife look anything but loved to anyone, no matter how “funny” it might look at first.
Hi Bob and glad you liked it. 5 minutes ago I talked on what’s app with a subscriber from 🇺🇸 USA . He told me about that sentence . He was grow up in Europe and now he live in USA and told me there is not the same sense of humour like here. I don’t say there is bad and here is good. Just is different. No offence to any wife or women, I love my wife and 5 months ago she gave me a beautiful daughter but here we can make jokes about us.
@@CoolAgainRestoration Congratulations on becoming a Dad! Agree that humor is different from place to place. Looking at how things start, such as why the married man cheated on his wife, or say how did the once loving marriage fail, it seems that it didn’t just happen suddenly but came about over time, lots of small things,little things that didn’t seem to matter. That’s why I made the comment.
All the best,Bob
Cheers Bob 👍🏻
Your skill and patience are inspiring. I'm new to your channel but I am enjoying your work so much. Watching you save something that would otherwise be trashed because it is old is a balm for my soul.
Thanks again 😊
was going to eat my lunch alone a work. saw there's a new video of cool again.
you just made my day significantly brighter
Glad you liked it buddy. Thank you very much 😊
very well done. the name plate remake was remarkable
Glad you liked it 😊
I love your attention to detail. You not only restore it to new condition..you restore it to BETTER than new condition. I love it!
Thank you very much 😊😎
La marque " Val d’or " m’a surpris ... j’aurais pas été étonné de voir Peugeot ! Une autre chose qui fait plaisir , c’est de voir travailler quelqu’un qui sait travailler et qui utilise les outils adaptés à ce qu’il a à faire . On voit trop de vidéos de restauration où le gars fait n’importe quoi n’importe comment .
I love sandblasting! So satisfying..... It's great watching you breathe new life into these old relics! That was a wicked restoration.
Thanks a lot
Very cool! And yes I completely agree...a very satisfying video! Thank you!
Glad you liked it Nick 😊
As usual ... stunning work
Thank you very much 😊
I want to tell you that everything you touch becomes new, I admire and appreciate you for everything you do, it is a great pleasure to follow your restorations. Sorry if I have grammatical mistakes.
No problem for your grammatical mistakes , dar poți vorbi și in românește 😅
@@CoolAgainRestoration 😯😯😊😊 m-ai lasat putin mai mult surprins pt ca nu ma asteptam sa fim conationali si iti spun din suflet ca ma faci orgolios sa spun ca- ci sunt roman. Acest lucru il spun pt ca ma surprins atelierul, aparatele si sculele pe care le deti si de asemenea piesele pt restaurat. Inca o data te felicit pt tot cea ce faci si esti minunat in tot ce restaurezi.
Multumesc frumos 👍🍻
Brilliant, enjoyable. Grinder much better than new I am sure.
Thank you very much William 😊
I love vintage items!
Me too
Excelent job!!
Thanks Michał 😊
Your attention to detail is fantastic.
Thank you very much mate 😊
You got the hand-operated grinder looking like new, and it works like a charm as well. Great work.
Thank you very much George 😊
What an incredible restoration! I’m in awe of your skilled craftsmanship and painstaking attention to detail. Restorations are truly a labour of love! It’s obvious you love what you do! 😊🇨🇦
Thank you very much Phil 😊
Thats so cool. That diamond dresing in particular. Nice...
Thanks bro 😎
Liked that you went the extra step with the filler and the powder coating finished it off perfectly
Glad you liked it 😊
Such a joy to watch someone so skilled. Lovely job.
Thank you very much Declan 😊
WOW....Beautiful!!!!!!!
Glad you liked it 😊
Вот это я понимаю "Руки из плеч!" супер крутая работа! Жду с нетерпением новых восстановлений!

BEAUTIFUL! Some of your best work to date! I love your sense of humor too!
Thank you very much G 😊
I like watching this kind of video. Love you sir ❤😘

Thanks a lot and glad you enjoyed so much 😊
Amazed by another cool restoration . 👍
Thank you very much Adi 😊 cheers 🍻
Very good job! 👍
Thanks Karsten 👍🏻
My name is Mark my dad taught me to fabricate since I was little I'm 63 now and I'm glad to see some people still enjoy working with the roll,I use to make brake shoes for cars.my dad left a tool in the shop that puts a quarter inch crease in metal as you roll around the part to stiffen it up and makes it more rigid do you know the name of this tool I've used it alot I think it's invaluable,but I never learned everything about metal ,I'll never match him,but I did learn cnc,brake,hydraulic drills welding,tig mig,silver soder,sheer,sand blast,I saw you doing some hand jogging with the cnc.i really appreciate watching you restore, it brought back memories,the stories I could tell.The one thing my dad taught me was to respect the tools you work with check and double check and you'll keep all you limbs. Good job on the video
People don't realize when you working with metal you work with thousands of an inch I didn't see any calipers,did you eyeball all that, I know you didnt.
Oh,I have calipers : classic, digital, for lathe , for heights… your dad has right when he said to respect the tools 👏
That’s what I needed for Relaxing.
Thanks buddy
Superb restoration, thank you for sharing
You do the most amazing work. Watching your hands is work like observing an artist at work.
Thank you very much Raymond 😊 I really appreciate
Well this is a premium restoration! I didn't realize when 24 minutes had passed!
Thanks buddy
