  • In this video i'm restoring an old coffee grinder.
    A few weeks ago I bought an old bench grinder to restore on eBay. The guy who sold it was actually selling more antiques, he had a room filled with old items. I took a look at his other stuff and this unique coffee grinder caught my attention right away. So I ended up buying it for $35. The one thing that really impressed me on this coffee grinder was the metal body, usually they're made of wood. I also liked the colour very much. The restoration itself turned out to be a lot more challenging than I first expected. I'm very happy with the final result of this coffee grinder. I really like how the handle turned out.
    I hope you like my work and the video.

    This one really hit home for me
    My great grandmother had a set of kitchen gidgets that she had since she was a teenager, that included not only a coffee grinder, but also a grease strainer, percolator, and a variety of fancy metal hot holders. By the time she reached 90 the years of being stored and mistreated had taken their toll. When she died my mom and I were going to take them and work on restoring them.
    When we got to her house,our relatives who lived closer had already cleared out the valuables, leaving behind what was left of the set in a trash bin with a dozen bottles of bear.
    On the bright side we managed to save the pie rack.

      @Hellsong89 5 років тому +4

      On car restoration side of things using brass or if possible copper plate behind the sheet metal and fill weld it is pretty common method. This way molten metal has something to support it, so it wont just drop off and steel wont connect to brass or copper. Also those metals are great heat conductors, so heat is pulled from steel by copper or brass and this way thin sheet metal warping from heat is minimized. Plate being big enough it has enough mass to absorb and spread the heat on the material so it wont even melt.
