This week I will show you the restoration of this vintage coffee grinder. It has some rust and it's definitely well used so it's was a great project for restoring. I only saw a picture from the from when buying and surprise surprise, it was broken from the back. I'm really just trusting that these items are broken so they make more interesting restoration projects.
I started the restoration by disassembling the coffee grinder. I had no real trouble with it. The only issue was the handle that was stuck. But I got it off with a bit of oil and force. The bottom of the coffee grinder was broken so I wanted to replace it. I also don't think the bottom of the box was had the edge of the plywood showing so I changed it a bit.
For the steel parts I used a sand blaster to get rid of all the rust. Then I sanded all the parts that will be visible. No need to sand the hidden parts as that would only be removing material for no real reason. I sanded the parts up to 2000 grits. and then I polished them with buffing wheel. I used my nickel plating set up to plate all of the steel parts to prevent them from rusting again.
To restore the brass part I used ketchup to remove the oxidation. Ketchup contains vinegar that is the key ingredient. However ketchup is much less smelly and is easy to apply on the surface of the parts. Also the vinegar is diluted so I don't have to worry so much about the damage it could cause because it is an acid after all. Once again I used buffing wheel to polish the parts.
I removed most of the old wax from the wood with steel wool and turpentine. Then I gave the parts quick sanding. I made a new bottom as close to the original one as I could. I didn't have suitable wood completely dry so I microwaved it . When doing this you need to be careful not to go too fast but giving it smaller bursts. Then the parts were give new coat of wax and and I assembled the grinder.
Thanks for watching my restoration! If you like my videos, subscribe, like and share the video. It helps me a lot.

I love how these vintage and antique coffee grinders are always so beautiful. What other item you think used to look beautiful?
Old waffleirons and espresso cookers, they have a brassy industrial charm
Old Radios
Classic vinyl player, that think looks vintage and beautiful
Old sewing machines. The artwork on the machine with all the wonderful metal parts and the beautiful intricate detail on the solid oak stands and legs. I just love them.
Sewing machines are one of them. Looked so cool.
This guy has a voice? Interesting.
This is revolutionary news to me
No, i hope. Videos without voice - so cool!
With just a tiny hint of "Rally Finnish", even. I like it!
Yes. But he always sounds so sad. But when I think of our lots of favourite Finns - Mika, Kimi, Janne,... - then I am sure, that he is a cool and nice guy. :-)
My fav restoration channel got a brand deal!!! Hell yeah! Make that money homie
Thanks. Hopefully it helps me to make even more great videos
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE HEARD YOU SPEAK OH MY GOD YOUR VOICE IS GORGEOUS
Thanks!
As long as people listen right to the end. :)
Jesus Christ you can break from the caps a bit spook
@@proximacentauri1172 Hey, I like caps sometimes. It really emphasizes my excitement.
@xNAJAFx and where it is?
Amazing to think that you are taking something apart that was once being put together by people in another place and another time. The first time those parts have been removed since they were laid in place all those years ago.
I must have watched about 7 or 8 different 'coffee grinder restoration' videos and they're all great. Dunno what it is about these things that make them so satisfying to watch.
Thanks. They are really beautiful and fun machines
It's always so shocking how quite this guy's videos are. I feel like if a penny dropped off his workbench it would shatter my eardrums.
10/10 would watch again.
Please do! 😂
*quiet
@@FR4M3Sharma No one asked for a autocorrect, by the way
@@estelletheinsomniac Your comment is edited lmao. 😂😂
"The Coffee will have special taste" - It's called RUSTic coffee :P
me: dies*
Aaaaayyy 👈😎👈
Go home dad.
Hmm might need to hire a baRUSTa…
Fortified with iron, healthy.
Me: Posted 4 minutes ago maybe I'll be the first one here!!!!
Odd Tinkering fans: Hold my rust removal.
There's always someone here at the first minute
@@OddTinkering so true
Hold my ketchup
Well you have to ketchup if you want to be first and don't be rusty while you do it
Oh my god, when he talked I literally looked around like WHAT IS THAT WHERE IS IT COMING FROM?
Also I love these Odd Tinkering videos and I am obsessed with them. I'm super inspired to get into this restoration hobby. Fixing dead pixels and loose screen cover on my original GameBoy today. Going yard sale-ing this weekend to look for some kind of beginner project with metal or wood.
I'm so used to your videos being relatively quiet.. when you spoke I almost had a heart attack😂
Nothing like watching another UA-cam restorer do a coffee grinder.
Look at you with a sandblaster now...haha Congrats!! I love that you use a hand screwdriver, not a power one, the power ones can destroy those old screws. That coffee grinder is absolutely beautiful!!!
♫ The best part of waking up ♫
♫ Is iron-oxide in your cup! ♫
Omggg HE TALKS !!!!! I’m so glad he got a sponsor
I'm impressed with your amazing skills, it's like watching a surgeon bring back to life a patient. Thanks for sharing.
Great video, Tinker! I've watched every coffee grinder restoration I could find! Loved them all!
Is it weird that I refuse to watch anyone else's restoration videos?
There are some other good ones out there. Rescue & Restore has one strikingly similar, if it doesn't upset this guy to be sorta kinda promoting another channel. Apologies if it does, feel free to delete me if so. But they both do very nice thorough work & you're missing out 😁
I have a few I watch , My Mechanics, Tysy tube restorations , are a couple that are really good but then there are some dodgy ones too , try a couple and like and subscribe to the ones you like , share the ❤😺
I've tried other channels and I just dont enjoy them
I think it has to do with the video styles. His are to the point and straight forward and focus on the object and not a logo.. choughtysytubecough cough
So when are you getting a heinz sponsorship?
Definitely addicted to your videos !!! The voice adds some mystery.... now give us a few face shots so we get to see the hotness behind the scenes 😋
The brass polishing segment I found particularly satisfying.
I normally hate woodwork and metal work, but you make it seem so relaxing and therapeutic! It triggers my ASMR!
I appreciate how you make all the loud tools quiet, the sanding is a bit to loud, but I can just turn ny headphone volume down.
Love your work dude,
Keep it up!
What a weird backhanded complaint/complement. If you usually hate wood and metal work why are you here? And yeah, obviously if anything you listen to through headphones is too loud you can turn it down, that's the entire point of adjustable volume. That's like saying "the sun is so bright and inconvenient, but I guess I can just put on sunglasses." No shit sherlock.
0:39 "the coffee will have special taste"
Me: yeah, a Rusty Flavour 😂
J'adore cette chaine, vraiment que de très bonnes vidéos de restaurations !!
Merci, et vivement la prochaine vidéo...
I don't speak spanish.
@@navigatorofnone I think it's French, which I don't speak
Great video as always and you have a voice! I had no idea that you can set the coarse on these old. I therefore got a electric one... Must find out if my grandmoms coffee grinder is still intact. Thank you!
Yes. You just turn the screw to make the gap between the grinding parts smaller
When is the face reveal ?
Btw, nice video as always
I never get tired of coffee mill restorations!....great job!!
This video was AWESOME!! (like the other ones :D) You got me to start restoring knives. Thanks!
Thanks! It's always great to hear I've inspired someone
From someone that loves vintage and antique items, I have to say that this was very satisfying to watch. I own 2 coffee grinders. One has a porcelain bowl and the other is cast iron with some intricate designs on the grinder housing. It was very rusty when I purchased it and just like yours, the bottom wood was cracked in the back. All I did to it was put olive oil on the metal to try and preserve it. If only I had your talent! I wonder what it would look like restored.
Your skills are amazing and the end result is gorgeous ... not to mention practical.
Me know full well it isn’t needed but gives me serotonin every time it’s used: Show me the isopropro
I always watch your video before I going to sleep cus its so satisfying and relaxing
Yes
Awesome. Its magic. The ketchup trick is crazy.
So satisfying seeing everything lined up after you’ve disassembled it.
I love it when he sand blasts it
Muy buen trabajo lo felicito
Saludos desde Cuernavaca México 🇲🇽
Thanks!
Un comentario en español, ya no me siento solo entre tanto ingles.
There's something really satisfying about restoring old, vintage things.
This kind of quiet project videos are so soothing and fascinating to me. Love it!
Yes they are beautiful and you Sir did a lovely job of that one it really is beautiful. You could restore some vintage phones and lampshades, some of them were incredible.
The voice ads really don't subtract from the video, and I do enjoy his accent.
I love it , If some people restore and repair things :)
yes!!!! get that sponsorship!!!!! i love this channel and i'm so happy you're getting compensated for your work :)
Thanks for this video😊because my grandfather used to have grinder like this one and when I was little presented it to me and it was a fond reminder of him even if he just died. So thanks😁
I don't really like coffee, but freshly grinded coffee smels soooo good...
This video is great! I watched this and started tinkering with mine for HOURS! (I'm not mechanically inclined) My burrs are rather dull but after watching this and some patience I got it working nicely. Just kept having to adjust the height of the burr until I could get a grind that wasn't too coarse and yet not too fine. Fine grind on dull burrs does not work well.....you'll be grinding for an hour. So I ended up setting mine up to a medium-coarse grind perfect for what I'll be using it for.
Beautiful restoration! I am fascinated to watch you take old items and make them new again. And it is good to hear your voice.
I heard you for the first time :O! Voice reveal LOL!
I am absolutely in LOVE with your magical hands
Congrats on the 400k subs! Pretty cool some beans were left in there. And it always makes me chuckle when stuff goes flying in your shop and your hands just say "meh".
glad to hear your voice for the first time ever.. why don't you do q&a sometimes.. by the way i love watching your videos
I really need that special taste for my morning coffee.😢
beautiful restoration. the brass looks new.
ads at the end is so good. i hate ad in the begining.
nice job man, tank u
Tell it how it is! Beautiful! Gorgeous! Fantastic restoration!
Ketchup can work on brass, but Flitz and a buffer is much more effective and produces a brilliant shine. Not only that, but Flitz is 100% food safe and approved by the USDA. Leaves no odor or taste. Simply shine and wash with soapy water. I've used it on aluminum cookware also, and the stuff is fantastic!
I have a suggestion to offer. Rather than sand the old finish or use a chemical stripper, which you seem reluctant to do and I don't blame you, I suggest you get a cabinet scraper. You can remove the finish from flat surfaces rapidly and with no more loss of wood than with sand paper, it's cheaper in the long run because a scraper and burnisher will last a long time so you don't spend so much on sand paper, and it produces a beautiful surface that takes a finish better because you don't clog the pores of the wood like when you abrade the surface.
I can't lie, your sudden voice startled the heck out of me! It was nice to finally hear it though, and I'm so happy you got a sponsor! Thank you for all your lovely videos, I hope you make many more and have much happiness! =)
I was so into it that I actually got scared and thought someone was talking to me through Discord or something LOL
The common restoration video - manual coffee grinder. Has all the basic elements: Wood, Brass, Steel, Rust, Staining, Polishing. All restoration channels would be incomplete with out one or two coffee grinders. Missing is the basic oil lamp. The lighters theme is a bonus.
As a coffee lover. This was satisfying to watch!
Would love to see you work with wood more. Paired with your style of videos it's really quite relaxing to watch and hear the sounds of wood work.
My family has a coffee grinder that's been with us for generations... Since the 17th century actually. You can tell coffee is important to us. lol
I should add it's still 100% functional and is used daily to make my fresh-pressed coffee. ;)
Though I will admit some tinkering is required at times due to age.
I must find myself a vintage coffee grinder and restore it.
this guy and Mustie1 are my fav channels right now
My mom had one of these I always wanted to see it grind coffee 😂 but it looked like this one did in the beginning! Very interesting! Thank you!
Great job! Coffee beans are oily especially the brown ones. Using the grinder regularly will keep it from rusting, with periodic cleanings, should last forever. If its for displaying only, plating the parts is a great thing.
Beautiful antique, and it makes good coffee, am sure it will taste amazing 🤤
Super job!
Wow lovely work, as always. There's also citric acid and malic acid from the tomatoes in the ketchup. Citric acid can be used to clean brass as well.
OMG THE RESTORATION MASTERMIND ACTUALLY SPEAKS!
side question. have you ever had to give up on a restoration because you misplaced a piece to what you were working on?
Special Taste™ Coffee, now with new and improved Rot'n'Rust flavor!
Love your channel. Cant get enough of you beautiful work.
Thank you!
Congratulations Restoration Perfect Beautiful Work Love Coffee
This is the First time I've ever heard your voice, Odd Tinkering😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I watch these and listen to music in the back ground. I heard someone speak and though someone walked in the room. Of course, it is close to Halloween so it is time for a good scare! Love the coffee grinder! Glad to see you have a sponsor!
I could learn from this. I might start restoring old equipment and fixing up worn out hardware.
Hi, your videos are very calming, can you show how you have set up your router on your bench.thanks. ☺
Very classy restoration 😊 Thank you 🧡Wax on the wood is good for kitchen use. Keeps the cooking yuck off 🧡
Beautiful work.
Hey, I can finally hear your voice, unless there was an older video I missed lol
Another great restoration. I don't mind your brand sponsoring. Got to get the moolah somehow.
This just goes to show that even the smallest of hammers, can give a good pounding.
I just bought an old coffee grinder just like this with the idea or restoring it but I don’t have any of these cool tools🤨I need the simplest way 😂😂😂 this is so cool though ☕️
Always sounds good
Hello. Nice job. @10:47 For the drawer reassembly, I would rather use round head nails. I think flat heads might move in the future and block the drawer.
Very beautiful, you made a family heirloom.
At 7:26 that brass looks like a great meal
You are a Master Tinker
That's one handsome coffee grinder 💜
absolutely amazing!!!
Your voice took me off guard because I tend to watch these to help me sleep lol
For wood use linseed oil and OOOO steel wool and wipe with clean cotton cloth
Stunning!
Hey, I'm looking to try restoring stuff at home, will you ever make a video for absolute basics of restoring, like what tools a begginer have, some simple items that can be easily restored and stuff like that? Cool grinder too!
Interesting idea. I don't know if I'll make one someday
Finally we get to see some sandblasting here.
It's so fkn satisfying to watch... daumn...
Cheers from 🇩🇪🍻
Thanks I still need to adjust my set up a little but there will be more
@@OddTinkering Good to hear 😁👍🏻
And u spoke for the first time 😲
It was an ad... ok...
But u NEVER speak! And that's what I like most on this channel.
Work without unnecessary blabla!
i watch your videos on a higher speed. when i heard your voice i was so shocked. i love your voice!
An old genuine cuckoo clock restoration would be pretty cool
"I will do the ketchup trick"
Ok explain the ketchup trick?
Ketchup is slightly acidic which is good for cleaning certain types of metals such as brass and copper. Alot of old antique items use a liberal amount of brass which is why ketchup is a popular 'trick' for restoration.
Ketchup instead of vinegar, smells better and already in paste form
Cheryl Hartwig You have to avoid cheaper ketchups which can contain red dyes, not the best choice for restoration. (Cheap ketchup is made from lower grade tomatoes, which are still wholesome but often partly underripe. If they don't dye it red it looks muddy grey in the bottle. The things you learn working in a tomato processing plant.)
He’ll probably make some morning coffee with that
imagine how many gloves he has to go through
Hi ODD 👋👋👋 very good restoration coffee grinder 👍👍👍
