Most people call old equipment useless since it almost has little to no value and since technology has been advanced there's almost no use to them in Modern Society but props to people who use it
@@scruffsnugg736 This machine helped us get the technology we have today. As a part of history and learning, like many other obsolete machines, it is actually priceless. Although I am glad I don't have to use it.
As usual, a beautiful restoration with more than the usual challenges! Glad to see Avril approves, by the way. And the horses looked as though they appreciated the end result.
Кот руководил процессом я так понимаю и результатом остался доволен. Кистью наносить смазку великолепно, у нас в России наносят отверткой, деревянной палочкой, ну и пальцем. Хорошая работа.
Love the reuse of the old screws. I tend to just chuck them out when rebuilding something but am going to start reusing those old flat heads and using your wrench trick to finish tightening. Thank you for that great tip.
I love what you and other people that are responsible for restoring things are doing. You are helping to keep history alive for next generations. I'm a big fan, keep doing good work. Cheers
I have to say my favorite thing about your videos is how you completely take us through the restoration project and then use the vintage item as it was intended! I really can't stop watching your videos it's so satisfying!
I love how elegantly this work of art is repaired: no music, a simple step-by-step process for each piece or part, a cat here or there (because that's what cats do), great care for each piece (along with the insects that decided to live in it), and a winning patience which was well rewarded with a machine that does its job well. Great job restoring that great grain mill! It's so nice when these old machines which people believe are too old to work are repaired, and turn in invaluable backups and spares after a patient restoration is applied. I mean, the mill design works, so what's to change about it? Why get a NEW grain mill, when you can just use what the people in 1902 used? It's so satisfying to see the rust and dust wash away and an old mill become completely new! May God bless you, sir! And have a good day! Dominus tecum!
I've noticed that you restore mostly farm and vineyard items. I also grew up in a largely agricultural area. It's good seeing that the antiques aren't that different between Europe and The US.
No restoration can be called a success without the supervision of a yellow cat. I firmly believe that. My yellow cat passed away two years ago. I have not been able to restore a single thing since. Of course, your video was excellent and the restoration of the grain crusher was priceless.
как может кому-то не понравится такая работа.это просто искусство реставрации.с такой бережностью и любовью.просто молодцы.Где только берут подобные машины для реставрации.

Wonderful! I grew up on a large sheep and cattle ranch. Everything was operating as it had from about 1940-1970. Life was physically difficult but mentally it was beautiful.wee had equipment from about 1880-1950 on the ranch. Your videos take me back..... you work is wonderful
I love how you only replace what has to be replaced - rather than seek perfection you retain some marks of the item's journey through time if they do not hinder the functioning or protection of the machine. Those horses are beautiful - it is lovely to see horses together in a field, so often you see one on it's own, horses do not like to be alone. Merci beaucoup. Subscribed.

As silly as it may seem, I think that all machines have some sort of soul - and you're bringing them back from the dead, breathing new life into old parts. I really appreciate that you don't just replace parts if you can restore them; while it might not be the easiest (or even the most practical) thing to do, it just... seems right. It's good to see people caring for forgotten things.

Beautiful restoration. Just think that when you restored the crusher you became part of the group of people who made it specially when you did not replace the legs. Excellent.👍👍👍
This is easily one of the most involved and impressive restorations I've seen. I'm no expert but with as huge as the thing is it must've been pretty costly to restore that whole thing.

"Les Établissements Simon Frères is a company of the Channel , based in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin . They were founded in 1856 and specialize in the manufacture of appliances for the food industry. The company is labeled Entreprise du patrimoine vivant" In 1856 , Jean-Laurent Simon, son of agricultural laborer, left the arsenal to open in Cherbourg, under the sign of Simon Jeune, a small workshop specialized in the repair of boats and hydraulic mills [2] . Rewarded from 1860 for his agricultural machinery, he manufactured during the war of 1870 cannons of 80 mm, with novelty, loading by the cylinder head, then resumes the design of steam engines, for agriculture, sawmills and flour mills, and completes his foundry workshop. The company, which was taken over in 1890 by his two sons, Albert and Auguste, gradually gave up steam farming machines to devote himself, at a time when the dairies of the Cotentin and the Grand-Ouest were regrouping as co-operatives to industrialize. machines for the industrial production of butter: churns, mixers, skimmers, continuous molds. In 1896 , the company took the name of Simon Brothers and moved in 1904 in the district of Maupas [2] . Specialized also in the design of equipment for the manufacture of cider and perry (crushers and presses with apples then with olives or grapes), the company collects the rewards between 1888 and 1900 : 6 grand prizes, 5 prizes of honor, 3 diplomas 33 gold medals, including the Paris Palais de l'Industrie competition, and the universal exhibitions of Paris 1889, Brussels 1898, and Paris 1900. Idem for those of Hanoi, Saint Louis, Liège , Milan and Zaragoza. Albert and Auguste were made officers of the Agricultural Merit in 1898 and 1900. They also diversify in flatteners, grain crushers, rides, drummers, but also motor pumps, engines and generators. In 1906 , they build a new factory on the location of the workshop. Simon Frères Establishments gain a worldwide reputation, become leader with 50 to 70% of the world market, and establish factories in Holland, Italy and Ireland. After a new period of weapons construction during the First World War , the company resumed its development, acquiring the factories for the brewery Hubert de Saumur in 1921 , and Vennin de Lille in 1929 . In 1939 , the third generation takes the reins like Pierre Simon, again forced to manufacture weapons for the army, shells and wheels. Under-production during the occupation, destroyed in 1944 , the plant quickly resumed its activity in 1945 , offering innovative machines for the dairy industry, covering manufacturing to final packaging. Growing thanks to the modernization of this sector during the "Thirty glorious", the company is present on all continents, employing 450 people in Cherbourg in the 1970s, and selling 700 large capacity butter machines between 1957 and 2001 . With Roger Simon at its head between 1969 and 1985 , then Christian Simon, she diversified into industrial lines for various food products, blenders for cheese, bakery and confectionery, but also for cosmetics, then as a subcontractor in boiler making for DCN and Cogéma . In 1973 , the company was awarded the Oscar for Export, the latter representing 60% of its activity [3] . In 1976 , the factory was paralyzed by a major strike. The doors are blocked on March 31st. Despite an interim judgment of 3 April ordering the opening of the doors, the occupation of the plant continues until the end of the month. After a judicial turnaround in 1989 , the company faced the saturation of the butter machine market in the early 2000s, which accounted for half of its turnover (30% subcontracting). The sharp drop in orders and a debt of 2.2 million euros, forced the oldest company in the canton of Cherbourg to file for bankruptcy in the summer of 2004 . In the spring of 2005 , the company was bought by the Brétèche Industrie group, with just over a third of its staff [2] . It abandons subcontracting with DCNS and Areva NC to refocus on its agribusiness activity. It then takes the name of Simon SAS (simplified public limited company). In March 2013 , she abandons her historic premises in Maupas to settle in the arsenal of Cherbourg , inside the former workshop "Composites" [5] . The company has 1,200 square meters to create machines for the manufacture of butter [6] . In 2016 , the company celebrates its 160th birthday on 9th September aboard the sailing ship Marité [7] . The historic site which covers two hectares in Maupas, street Laurent-Simon , is bought by the city of Cherbourg [8] . On June 6, 2018 , the decision was made to raze buildings covering 10,000 square meters and to clean up the oil-contaminated site. [9] Asbestos removal begins in November 2018 [
Very interesting historical research. Thank you for taking much trouble to provide such an interesting (and ultimately rather sad) story about 3 generations of this manufacturing and award winning inventive family.
I just wanted to make sure you got a shout out for the video editing!!! I’m sure the project has *hours* of footage but I still feel like I was with you every step of the way!!
Damn, that is a big tap and die. I, a complete novice to these sorts of things, often forget the huge financial investment it is to be a skilled handyman (for lack of a none patronizing word).
A superb restoration. I love the way you kept all the original parts and were able to put it back in full working order to how it would hav been when new. Except possibly the colour(?).
Those big cones make me think of a CVT transmission. I love how bulky and overbuilt everything use to be. If it were me I’d restore it and put a big electric motor on it just because modern times have made me too lazy to crank it myself. 😜 Great video!
Great restore. Great video. I like the no talking and no music of these videos. Relaxing while watching something nice get brought back to usefulness. Love your cats.
I'm really more of a "Dog" person but I have to say I've missed the cat. What a beautiful mill to compliment your beautiful cornhusker. My horse used to nibble the hard corn off a cob I'd hold for him. He loved that corn. "Gimme cracked corn and I don't care.." :)
In my opinion, you are one of the best restores on TH-cam. You actually restore using all the original parts and pieces you possibly can. What's the orange tabby cats name? Love seeing him/her in your videos!
I’m glad that you show all the chemicals that you use and the step by step, I like to see what you do and how you do it, now let me see the final product
Hands that work and know what they're doing. Solid tools. Sounds only of wind and the clink of metal, sawing of wood. Even the cat is quiet! Watching your videos is pure Zen. Thank you.
It's like a giant coffee grinder. It's much more satisfying to me to watch historic ag machinery restores than 1968 Tonka trucks or 1970s belt sanders...
Horse 1: *nom nom nom* ...YO HOMIE GET SOME OF DIS horse 2: I'll try... *nom nom nom* HEY THAT'S GOOD Horse 3: let me try *nom nom nom* that's LIT Horse 1: they ate the rest....
A job extremely well done. The icing on the cake for me, was the demonstration. Being a Brit, I had thought it was to do with wheat ! I thought that the channels of the feeder were far to wide & it would be a piece of pretty useless equipment. Delighted that I was proven wrong. I look forward to more from this chap
I've been wondering the same thing on these videos. The bolts in 20 year old cars baffle me, this man is pulling out *century* old bolts by the dozen in every video with just a spritz of the slippery stuff--no fire even! Blows my mind.
@@x3wildcard Having worked on car engines a ton in school (all old inline 4's and 6's from the 80s and 90s), my best bet is that these bolts come out easier than from a car because those in a car would expand and shrink thousands of times. They would also be torqued considerably harder. In this channels projects they all wouldn't sustain any crazy temperatures compared to those from a car (specifically the engine and exhaust).

That old equipment may be very useful in case of some electricity failure. Our technology is so fragile.

The company, which was taken over in 1890 by his two sons, Albert and Auguste, gradually gave up steam farming machines to devote himself, at a time when the dairies of the Cotentin and the Grand-Ouest were regrouping as co-operatives to industrialize. machines for the industrial production of butter: churns, mixers, skimmers, continuous molds. In 1896 , the company took the name of Simon Brothers and moved in 1904 in the district of Maupas [2] .
Specialized also in the design of equipment for the manufacture of cider and perry (crushers and presses with apples then with olives or grapes), the company collects the rewards between 1888 and 1900 : 6 grand prizes, 5 prizes of honor, 3 diplomas 33 gold medals, including the Paris Palais de l'Industrie competition, and the universal exhibitions of Paris 1889, Brussels 1898, and Paris 1900. Idem for those of Hanoi, Saint Louis, Liège , Milan and Zaragoza. Albert and Auguste were made officers of the Agricultural Merit in 1898 and 1900.
They also diversify in flatteners, grain crushers, rides, drummers, but also motor pumps, engines and generators. In 1906 , they build a new factory on the location of the workshop. Simon Frères Establishments gain a worldwide reputation, become leader with 50 to 70% of the world market, and establish factories in Holland, Italy and Ireland. After a new period of weapons construction during the First World War , the company resumed its development, acquiring the factories for the brewery Hubert de Saumur in 1921 , and Vennin de Lille in 1929 .
In 1939 , the third generation takes the reins like Pierre Simon, again forced to manufacture weapons for the army, shells and wheels. Under-production during the occupation, destroyed in 1944 , the plant quickly resumed its activity in 1945 , offering innovative machines for the dairy industry, covering manufacturing to final packaging. Growing thanks to the modernization of this sector during the "Thirty glorious", the company is present on all continents, employing 450 people in Cherbourg in the 1970s, and selling 700 large capacity butter machines between 1957 and 2001 . With Roger Simon at its head between 1969 and 1985 , then Christian Simon, she diversified into industrial lines for various food products, blenders for cheese, bakery and confectionery, but also for cosmetics, then as a subcontractor in boiler making for DCN and Cogéma .
In 1973 , the company was awarded the Oscar for Export, the latter representing 60% of its activity [3] .
In 1976 , the factory was paralyzed by a major strike. The doors are blocked on March 31st. Despite an interim judgment of 3 April ordering the opening of the doors, the occupation of the plant continues until the end of the month.
After a judicial turnaround in 1989 , the company faced the saturation of the butter machine market in the early 2000s, which accounted for half of its turnover (30% subcontracting). The sharp drop in orders and a debt of 2.2 million euros, forced the oldest company in the canton of Cherbourg to file for bankruptcy in the summer of 2004 .
In the spring of 2005 , the company was bought by the Brétèche Industrie group, with just over a third of its staff [2] . It abandons subcontracting with DCNS and Areva NC to refocus on its agribusiness activity. It then takes the name of Simon SAS (simplified public limited company).
In March 2013 , she abandons her historic premises in Maupas to settle in the arsenal of Cherbourg , inside the former workshop "Composites" [5] . The company has 1,200 square meters to create machines for the manufacture of butter [6] .
In 2016 , the company celebrates its 160th birthday on 9th September aboard the sailing ship Marité [7] .
The historic site which covers two hectares in Maupas, street Laurent-Simon , is bought by the city of Cherbourg [8] . On June 6, 2018 , the decision was made to raze buildings covering 10,000 square meters and to clean up the oil-contaminated site. [9] Asbestos removal begins in November 2018 [
Very interesting historical research. Thank you for taking much trouble to provide such an interesting (and ultimately rather sad) story about 3 generations of this manufacturing and award winning inventive family.
Nice Work.. This must have been expensive in 1902 and very productive
May we never run out of WD-40!
I just wanted to make sure you got a shout out for the video editing!!! I’m sure the project has *hours* of footage but I still feel like I was with you every step of the way!!
I really appreciate how you don’t over restore if it’s got a little casting flash that’s the way it was when it was made
Damn, that is a big tap and die. I, a complete novice to these sorts of things, often forget the huge financial investment it is to be a skilled handyman (for lack of a none patronizing word).
are you dumb cucks referring too 5:42 ? if so thats nothing maybe 9/16 5/8 at best???? haha stick with collecting dolls kids.
Jacob Poucher- We'll your quite the repugnant douche bag, aren't ya kiddo.
A superb restoration. I love the way you kept all the original parts and were able to put it back in full working order to how it would hav been when new. Except possibly the colour(?).
this has to be one of the most complex items I have seen you repair.

Teacher: Ok kids what did we learn today
Little Jimmy: Steel Wires solve all your problems
Subbed because you didn't kill the earwig
Those big cones make me think of a CVT transmission.
I love how bulky and overbuilt everything use to be.
If it were me I’d restore it and put a big electric motor on it just because modern times have made me too lazy to crank it myself. 😜
Great video!
I love the ending, it is so wholesome, the horses are so cute.
Great restore. Great video. I like the no talking and no music of these videos. Relaxing while watching something nice get brought back to usefulness. Love your cats.
The cat: I wanna be restored
Nice work. And horses are beautiful.
What about the Cat....???!!!
Very satisfying to watch.
And there always has to be a cat in these kinds of videos, which makes it way better.
Well Done ..nice to see them both working. This gives you a feeling of satisfaction when you complete a restoration. I know I do
Seeing you use this stuff is my favorite part!! I've learned so much since I started watching these videos.
The Transformation is outstanding! Loved the video! Thanks for this amazing restoration!
I'm really more of a "Dog" person but I have to say I've missed the cat. What a beautiful mill to compliment your beautiful cornhusker. My horse used to nibble the hard corn off a cob I'd hold for him. He loved that corn. "Gimme cracked corn and I don't care.." :)
beautiiful work on a very cool project! very cool cat and horse friends.
In my opinion, you are one of the best restores on TH-cam. You actually restore using all the original parts and pieces you possibly can. What's the orange tabby cats name? Love seeing him/her in your videos!
I’m glad that you show all the chemicals that you use and the step by step, I like to see what you do and how you do it, now let me see the final product
Hands that work and know what they're doing. Solid tools. Sounds only of wind and the clink of metal, sawing of wood. Even the cat is quiet! Watching your videos is pure Zen. Thank you.
Bonito trabalho. Gostei muito do gato. Ajudante de primeira linha. Vídeo muito bom. Obrigado.
It's like a giant coffee grinder. It's much more satisfying to me to watch historic ag machinery restores than 1968 Tonka trucks or 1970s belt sanders...
Horse 1: *nom nom nom* ...YO HOMIE GET SOME OF DIS
horse 2: I'll try... *nom nom nom* HEY THAT'S GOOD
Horse 3: let me try *nom nom nom* that's LIT
Horse 1: they ate the rest....
A job extremely well done. The icing on the cake for me, was the demonstration. Being a Brit, I had thought it was to do with wheat ! I thought that the channels of the feeder were far to wide & it would be a piece of pretty useless equipment. Delighted that I was proven wrong. I look forward to more from this chap
Is there more than one cat? Great restoration. This is the best restoration channel on TH-cam
What are you, the bolt whisperer? How do you manage to get them out?
It was only 117 years old. They start getting stuck around 120.
@@incognitotorpedo42 Hahahahahahahaha I LOVE you man! 😍
All of the things that he works on seem to be in pretty good shape, actually. No real binding or galling or deep rust.
I've been wondering the same thing on these videos. The bolts in 20 year old cars baffle me, this man is pulling out *century* old bolts by the dozen in every video with just a spritz of the slippery stuff--no fire even! Blows my mind.
@@x3wildcard Having worked on car engines a ton in school (all old inline 4's and 6's from the 80s and 90s), my best bet is that these bolts come out easier than from a car because those in a car would expand and shrink thousands of times. They would also be torqued considerably harder. In this channels projects they all wouldn't sustain any crazy temperatures compared to those from a car (specifically the engine and exhaust).
Am i the only one Who watches these videos while falling asleep? Ahahah
I also
I can relate
Excelent job. Like that you restored with all the original pieces. Thanks for sharing
I love the LADB logo on your jacket! It's amazing how easily it seems to work!
