Antique Hand Cranked Grinder - Restoration
소스 코드

- In this video i'm restoring a very old hand cranked grinder.
A few weeks ago I visited my friend and we took a closer look at his barn, looking for something interesting to restore. As soon as I saw this hand cranked grinder, I knew that this would make a nice restoration video. It was all covered in wood dust and the visble steel parts were very rusty. It was still working, but the grinding wheel was very unbalanced.
When I was cleaning the parts with the parts washer I found a lot of nails and screws in the gearbox, I guess I was very lucky that I didn't found any teeth from the gears. The pin connection from one gear was damaged very hard. I filled it all up with welding and machined all surfaces clean again.
I decided to make a brass sleeve for the wooden handle and glued it in with epoxy.
I only cleaned the grinding wheel with high pressure water and it worked very well. Due to the age of the grinder and the cleaning with the water, the two paper discs were lost. That's why I printed two new ones with my logo on it and they turned out very nice. They're there to lower the pressure on the grinding wheel from the clamping.
The cover plate from the gearbox didn't fit at all, it didn't even cover everything. Because of that I decided to make a new one.
For the painting I choose a black coat, as it was originally, I used filler on it to get a nice and smooth finish.
I'm very happy how this project turned out, I'll keep this item for myself for display.
I hope you like my work and the video.

Love that there's no intro music, or any music of some sort while you're restoring the items. Just the noise of your tools. Keep that up!
I find your videos very therapeutic to watch.
3stardiamond - Dude, you took the words right out of my mouth! :-)
I didn't even think about that. Yes! I especially love that he rarely speeds up the video. I kind of like watching small bits of work in real time, rather than the entire restoration in 20X fast forward speed. This is the only channel I watch the video the day it comes out.
I was a waiting for the beat drop around 3:14. Just sayin'
ASMR for men ;)
@@kevinsparks661 girls too 😂 I watch this because 1. Its awesome, and 2. Asmr!
No music. No comments. No BS. Simply PERFECT!
The sounds of industrial equipment is very satisfying.
@@michaelgarretson6520 Yeah, but i bet there is not enough grinders restored around (KRplus) :D
Exactly what I like about his videos...
@@michaelgarretson6520 what's wrong with music?
@@MachiriReviews well it's okay but.....it's HIGHLY ANNOYING like ALOT...
BY FAR the best restoration channel on KRplus…and it’s not even close how far above everyone else your work is. Well done.
I love the attention to detail on these restorations! Crazy that this got 17M views when he only has 3.29M subs!
Thanks for watching, much appreciated
I wouldn't consider 3,3M subs 'only', but it is remarkable some videos get more attention than others. I find it otherly fascinating and satifying to see the process of renovation of these items to better than new condition. I can only imagine how it must feel to actually do it, wondering if My Mechanics has a cabinet or something like that where the finished articles are on display. Thanx though, for letting us along for the ride to enjoy it! Cheers, Bro
@@broyout3586if I was him I’d sell them to the highest bidding subscriber
And thank you for NOT putting the finished product in the thumbnail. I like seeing the result in the end without "spoilers".
Yeah.. Don't tell the punchline before the joke. It ruins the joke. Many people don't get that.
@@iteerrex8166 I admit, I don't get it. Please explain?
@@timsmith854 Oh, I meant that by showing the final result at the beginning, you are robbing" the viewer out of the adventure/experience of making, modifying or restoring the item. The New Yankee Workshop used to do that and never liked it. They would show the made product right at the beginning of the show.
Depends on the person. I don't really care if I see spoilers. I want to see how they executed it rather than what happened after the deed is done.
@@7tqpbnvh7tqpbnvh77 Personally, I'd rather see the process and not know beforehand how it will turn out. Will he Blue it? (I like the Blued look a lot) Will he paint it? Repair it? Make new one? I actually find his work and video style very enjoyable to watch.
These are my new “relaxing before bed” activity. Your work is unbelievable.
biffle35 oh my god this is exactly why I watch these. 😂
Sameeeee
Me to
@@cody_d3628 So do I
TheJR1948 why?
I bet that grinder didn't look that good when it came out of the factory. Great job!
Thank you very much, I'm glad you like it :-)
That's what I always think. You could just go buy a new one but then, it wouldn't be as nice!
No grinder has ever looked that niice!
I have one those grinders in the barn it belonged to my Grandfather.
You are a great artist. Watching your videos is a great pleasure. No anoying music, just pure craftmanship.
That moment when he cuts the handle and you know deep down in your heart that at some point in the video he will have to "make new one". Amazing job as always. Toujours un plaisir de regarder tes vidéos.
I was literally about to comment about that lol
In the beginning of the vid: "I could do that"my mechanics cuts the handle: ""Was that really necessary? It wasn't that bad!"my mechanics makes new handle better than new: "...oh...welll that's above my skill level..."
I was about to say "noooooo" like Luke whe he learned Vador is his father but the story has a more happy end...
@@jethromaloku3136 it was definitely a solid improvement
I'm getting rather addicted to this channel. When I grow up I want to be like you, I'm over 30 but nothing is impossible
Same here...But I'm allmost 40 =)
Me ..... Near 70! >8^)
My long lost maternal Grandfather had a little workshop with so many hand tools (Pre electricity - NO power tools for the poor working man then) .... He had to "make do" ....
I gained my love of fixing things from him .... Not that I'm any good .... I get to the "Take apart stage" ..... And that's as far as I can go .... My skills lay elsewhere ..... ROFL!
Sorry for being long-winded .... But I could feel him with me watching this .... Shaking his head in amazement ...... !!!
Thank you from someone long gone .... And the other staggering towards the final end. 😥🙏🧡👍👍
Me 15
I'm not nearly as much of a "detail lunatic" as this guy, but I have gotten myself a lot of free tools over the years that were considered "a write-off" but in reality just needed a bit of work with sand paper, files, a new screw or nut here and there, some lubrication in the right parts and maybe a new graphite brush.
I really like how he adds the brass fittings to make it even more durable than the original. Gorgeous workmanship.
A lot more people watching and appreciating your works then you think, but don't say anything!. You doing great work and I love your presentations thank you.
Thank you very much, I really do appreciate it :-)
Polished chisels, punches, and drifts?? Don’t know why I’m surprised. By far my favorite KRplusr.
I'm so old, I remember using one of these as a young boy in my grandfathers garage! I was grinding on something and got my little finger stuck between the wheel and the post... I never used it again. You just titillated a numerous amount of memories. Thank you so much
That sounds like a major boo-boo. :(
I'm so old I HAVE one in the "shop" in my basement. It's my father in law's who is 92. I still use it to sharpen knives and scissors.
Of all the restoration channels I think this guy has the highest level of skill and attention to detail.
The way you fix all those rusty, no longer working almost good for nothing stuffs is very inspiring. Made me realized that nothing is beyond repair if an expert lays a hand on it. During my idle times, rather than scrolling down on some apps, I’d rather watch the amazing work you do. The result is always satisfying.
I like that he just lets his work speak for itself, no narration or annoying music
Makes the video very enjoyable
He does have a narrated video on my mechanics insights. It's very good narration, wish he did more, but it makes sense why he doesn't.
you are so right! no inane chat or distracting music. It's a really easy watch
It’s like asmr
I like that too, but there are certain sounds I wouldn’t mind being left out like that infernal metal scraping on metal sound, makes my skin crawl every time.
A grinding wheel....he machined a GRINDING WHEEL!
I love this channel.
That's nothing unusual, the machines we have at work are designed to machine specific profiles into their grinding wheels, also with diamonds.
Only thing I'm concerned with is that he didn't cover the lathe bed, you don't want any stone dust on there.
@His Masters Voice your loss ;)
I sure hope that he THOROUGHLY cleaned up his lathe afterwards...
Next time he'll machine a lathe ;-)
@@dirkvantroyen9170 Would not surprise me, actually!
"Lathe broke....I make a new one!"
Your attention to detail is amazing. Your work is of top-notch quality. Nowhere else do your see so much shiny and polished metal. Your work is not restoration, it is creating mechanical art! This is the best restoration youtube channel.

One word comes to mind pride. Thanks for sharing this video with us.
I saw that you posted. You saved me from watching the news and I’m better for it. Thank you.
I'm always left feeling completely satisfied after watching your videos. Also thanks for not putting stupid backing music
it really adds something doesn't it? Being able to play your own music if you want. No talking either! I love this creator.
THIS! (y)
Well stated. I don't understand everyone putting music, most of which does not match up, into their content.
just a touch of classical soft music from time to time? But I'm happy with the way it's done now.
The sounds of restoration is the only music this needs. Great video!
I try to watch one of your video's each night before bed, it's very relaxing to see you at work...
Your patients, attention to detail, and craftsmanship is truly to be admired.
Glad to hear that, thank you very much
Am I the only one that loves when the metal turns black from that bluing agent
Nope, it makes it look like a million bucks.
What makes you think you are the only one?
I'm dissappointed it doesn't turn blue. :(
Johanna Geisel lmao thought it would turn yellow
Suffer No Fools wow you weren’t paying attention.
I LOVE it that he never uses some loud obnoxious music and just plays the sweet sweet sound of engineering.
@Noah Agin madlad
OMG (I mean, OH YOUR DAD) THIS IS SO TRUE!!
Best part
I agree but sometimes a chill music can be nice also. Like some lo-fi.
All I hear are screams.
I’m in bed early & the fireworks are starting outside as an old year ends & a new one begins. Instead of getting rat-arsed I’m enjoying watching restoration videos by the one & only gentle genius. Best New Year I’ve had since my husband proposed to me 1/1/1997.
SCHWEIZER PRÄZISION!
Hands down: Best restoring channel on KRplus.
I love how he puts the parts in order after dissembling and before assembling. So organized. This is my new favorite thing to watch.
Thank you very much, I really do appreciate it :-)
I enjoy watching the stuff but he does 🙂 and I love the work that he dose
I love that too. Greetings from Brazil.
@@AdelsonDePaulo E não é que eu achei um BR aqui? Sksksksksk
It's called Knolling after Frank Gehry's janitor started doing it for the architect each evening while they were working on chairs for Florence Knoll furniture.
These videos are just so satisfying.
I also appreciate not having the finished product in the thumbnail. I enjoy the surprise at the end.
Styder no kidding. I won’t waste my time on that. No spoilers!
I used to watch these videos in 2xp .....and the satisfaction is really awesome 👍
I saw all your videos and they are impeccable work, congratulations friend.
Happy to hear that!
I love trying to guess during the disassembly which parts are going to get the "i make a new one" treatment
One day it will be all of them!
Hahaha. Exactly that's what I am doing, too!
Got the " I'll Be Back" Arnold voice in my head, dont know why
ططض١ض في في في صدد ط
It is difficult watching any other "restorer's" videos as you are the gold standard for all to follow. Good work.
I love to see his old restored tools employed again.
I mean, it's kind of annoying trying to relax and suddenly hearing drills go off and just generally loud tools. So I prefer manual work ones.

People always bash on restoring antiques but I love seeing an old piece of innovation as if it were just off the assembly bench all those years ago.
It's not just the end result, it's your process which is next level.
Another brilliant restoration. I can't tell you how much I wanted to watch you remake that helix shaft though....
Fantastic video like always, since I started looking at your videos, I learned a lot, and now I am tackling jobs I would have never dreamed of doing, recently bought a used Bosch table saw on a gravity table that was forgotten for a while outside to the elements, imagine the rust!!!....I tried to apply some of your techniques, and "voila" I have a pretty nice table saw for 200$, maybe not as perfect as you would have done, but beats the heck of buying a new one at 1200$, and works perfectly. Thanks to you!!!!
красавчик
@SebiTimeWaster you bet!
YOU ARE THE MASTER OF MASTERS IN RESTORATIONS..PERIOD.
I am very happy to be on your KRplus channel. You are really very expert in repairing old instruments
Thanks a lot for being here :-)
Surprising how fast the bluing compound works. The black paint finish looks great.
i love this channel because everything is shiny.....
Me too! Gotta run, something ... SHINY just went by.
yes you and i have the same hobby...😂😂
Very interesting rebuild thank you.
My pleasure, thank you!
I love how you actually info prices and time spent. Some of these arent restores, you are building a newer better version than the original. Would you call the 6 Million Dollar Man a restore? Keep em coming!
Finally my video therapy arrived!
Love your videos!
When life hands you lemons... My mechanic makes a 5 star lemonade that goes viral world wide and nobody can get enough !
Pure perfection as usual
Oh, I thought that when life hands out lemons, my mechanics throws the lemon out and makes a new one : )
Unreal! 😮 I can’t get enough of your channel! Such care and attention to detail, I’m blown away!
As I was listening and watching this educational video: I learned the most important lesson. For me, it's you have to wear the right kind of clothing when you're doing this kind of work. Even when you're eating a certain kind of meal. It's the same thing. It's what I learned back in April 20th, 1992.
Without even trying, my mechanics has almost finished restoring my faith in humanity. Well done indeed!
I can watch these all day. The attention to detail is amazing!
Thank you very much, nice to have you here :-)
For 58 years I studied zen and martial arts watching you recreate these superb works of art that were an everyday part of my life is superb. seeing something that had lived and has its own story and was left to die and brought back to life is just wonderful to see plus your videos are the best form of zen meditation I have ever come across just watching hearing the sounds of pure zen you are a true master reawakening the soul of this lovely creation I love your channel and I am a devoted fan. Gungfu or kungfu in the west meant some you have made and mastered in both body and mind wushu means martial art I salute a true Gungfu master
Thank you very much :-)
Another great job refurbishing a handy old tool. Thanks for sharing with us. Fred. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻✋🏻✋🏻
You are very welcome
Imagine how proud this guy feels when everything he made and restored fits together perfectly and works perfectly
after the 26th try, the first 25 of which he doesn't show
Im a machinist and that feeling never gets old. i had to make a bunch of separators to keep some lines running parallel and the snap they made when they i fitted them was amazing, all 20 of them i had made.
Yes I agree. What I would like to know why there are so many thumbs down. Are people really that jealous that they can't restore something so well?
lol probably nothing, he already knows everythings going to fit well because it was made that way- its the process thats meaningful, so maybe finishing it just only makes him want to wish he could go back to doing it again... nothings ever truely finished 😅
He has to have some sort of a problem. Maybe a wart on his nose or something
I find these videos extremely therapeutic 👌🏽especially for my OCD.....
I totally agree! Calms me down, and i feel so peaceful inside! thank you for sharing!
Once again---PERFECTION! This restoration is in the top five favorites of mine. The detail is enjoyable to watch.
Your restoration shows more pride then the original build. This job deserves an award of excellence. Absolutely beautiful. Thank You
another masterpiece. your attention to detail is astounding. I also try to guess which parts get the "I make new one" treatment...
who don't ? 😁
The problem with this channel is that i've binge watched all the videos for the past few days, and now I can't go and watch other restoration videos without going "Hey! Remove sharp edges!" "Hey, make a new one!"...this is awesome work, the level of knowledge is amazing, I wish I knew half just to have fun at my own shed.

This guy has definitely spoiled me as well. I watched one the other day and I was like “should’ve mailed it to My Mechanics” 😂
You call that filing?! Look at the burrs!
Sharp edge is harmful
Well done...

ryan perry do you also watch the Lock Picking Lawyer as well?
Ryan Perry, I needed to have a lock keyed years ago & was told to go see this old lock smith. Very old and VERY slow. He literally moved at 1/4 speed - at best. I stood for 20 min. watching him, thinking I've somehow gotten trapped in a Tim Conway skit! A funny afternoon I will never forget.
don't know a bite about MECHANICS but you make peoples satisfied ,any details is perfect ,nice clean and beauties ,thank a lot
ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF A EXCELLENT RESTORATION. CONGRATULATIONS.
Thank you very much :-)
Saubere Arbeit, kein Gequatsche, keine Vorschau die schon Alles verrät, keine Musik -> perfekt!
These were great, my Dad had one. (At age 8 I was always the motor)
Some of these would make amazing gifts. And being able to show them the video of it being restored would be just too cool.
Simply the best restorer I have ever seen working. Master.
So, can we take a moment to appreciate that we got not only 2 "I make a new one", but he found a way to bring a outdoor power washer into the restoration....The only thing I really would have loved was to see your logo on the gearbox cover you made instead of the grinding wheel. Such perfection 👍🏼
One of the only channels I click like before I even watch the video.
Your dedication to making things the right way, and your attention to fine details is so impressive to see. Truly Magnificent 💯😎 😎 😎
I like how you laid the disassembled parts out like a dissembled clock. Very precise and organized.
You are one of my favourite restoration channels, your attention to detail is unparalleled!
Danielle Shram, Absolutely.!.!.!.
I love that he doesn't speed up the video and instead uses cuts and edits to make the video the right length. There was a little bit of speed up used in this video but it was used tastefully and appropriately.
I love how he doesn't slather things in paint all the time.. he fixes it for real!

When you see the item before and after, you can imagine the efforts and skill he has shown to bring the item to that standard.
Great Mechanic! 👍😎
Genijalno... uvijek detalje dižete na viši nivo. Uživam u svakoj sekundi vaših restauracija. Nastavite tako... 👏
Its a pleasure to see how a perfectionist does their job.. well done sir..
Just realized I've spent 3 hours watching these restoration videos and they are super satisfying
Sometimes I put on your playlist and watch until I'm sleeping. They are very satisfying to watch and you are a master at your craft
Смотришь и улыбка невольно возникает)) Какая дорогая и шикарная вещь получается.! Такой приятнее пользоваться.
Now when I watch other restoration channels I'm like: "pssh, he didn't even make new one"
That's not even a joke man. I do the same thing.
Dude, your comment made my day! This guy is out of this world. 😄
i skip all channels without sand-blasting
@@miwing watching things get sandblasted is incredibly satisfying, same with pressure washing videos
Either the world is getting full of crazy people like me, or we are all more normal than we think
I make a new one... what a magical words.
It seems like :-)
When he got to the cover that didn't fit and was slowly showing us, I was just sitting here thinking "Make a new one! Make a new one!"
It should be on a baby's jumper suit.
That's why I say: He does more than just restore things, he remanufactures them!
sageDieuvids this! „I make a new one“ is so great, please don’t change it. If you make a new one, this phrase should be used always :D
Very nice job. I can’t believe how the steel polished up
I really love your work!
Is so satysfacing!
I'm glad you like it :-)
when everything was laying there disassembled, I screamed in my head "parts washer! parts washer!"
I had that phrase going through my mind when he opened up the gear box, with all that old gooey grease!!
You forgot to put the handful of nails and screws back in it!!!!!!!
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
and he used the wrong lube. should've used Nutella...

Very much so. Mmmm Nutella
But polished, please
@@arnoldnymous3659 well of course, you wouldn't want any dirt to get in with the gears now would you?
One day this man will be able to work without light with all restorations he has did it all of this time. (Sorry for my bad english! haha).
This isn't a restoration dude. This is a restomod. No way did this tool look this nice from any factory. Nice work my man. Turned out beautiful.
By the way, I actually have a hand crank grinder. Not this particular one, but similar. Very cool.
Wooooo! 23 full minutes! My day has just improved exponentially!
I have anxiety disorder and since I met your videos, whenever I am very anxious, feeling nervous or restless I come here to watch, even if repeated, they calm me down, thank you for that 💙💙

I’m an engineer and have restored old mechanical items and it takes a lot of time and skill. I take my 🧢 off to you a job very well done like all your videos.
Videos like these remind me that these sorts of analogue tools are a lot... gooier... on the inside than we’d think
Word!
Amazing job. I admire your way to fix those old machine etc. 👍👍😀
Thanks 👍
Me at 12:14: -Nah man, you can't restore a grinding wheel, it's impossible..
Also me at 13:03: - I allways knew you could!
Incredible man, keep up the outstanding work!
Dressing a grinding wheel is not black arts, though.
If you look really close he's hiding the huge chip with his thumb when he shows it off. Can't blame him, the only thing that would get rid of it is making the wheel quite a but smaller.
if you actually need a diamond tool to reshape those, it makes me wonder how do you make them in the first place...
i mean, sharpening wheels have existed for quite a while now, long before diamonds were readily available, did they just grind it round with another stone ?
@@electrostatic1 The wheel is smaller, in height and width, and I don't see the chip. Though I thought that I spotted it until I slowed down the speed . Can you provide the time marker? Obviously, it still works. But if there is a chip, I want to see it as well. thanks.
All of the abrasive particles that he “machined” off of that grinding wheel are now on his lathe and that is a no no.
You're channel is a real hypnotic experience, I'm an engineer and this really is the only restoration channel worth watching. Great work my friend and an inspiration to watch. I'm sometimes concerned about the material you loose by sanding and polishing shafts but it always seems to work well when you're done. Good job!
That mirror finish on the metal parts is just 👌
I greatly admire all the work you do. Today I'll focus on the solvent stain, which makes good and newly shaped wood look like it's been in use for years. Keep up the great work!
That high gloss black looks great. Turned out very nice. Great job!
