Danny, I just watched this video and a couple of things stand out to me. 1) You are a talented man! 2) You are a man that gives attention to detail! I too, like to show details in my videos, although, most of my videos are on gardening. Details are important if we are truly trying to teach or just show how to do things. Good video, good job on the mill. Years ago, back in the Model T ford car days, my father used to pour babbit rod bearings when overhauling an engine. It great to see that you still know how to do that. Thanks for this video!
OAG
Thanks Charles
I shared this video through email to my daddy. I don't do Facebook or anything . Daddy was a machinist-maintenance man at a factory. When he retired last year , I believe he was the only man that know anything about babbitt bearing. He has a burner , pot, and ladle. Very cool video. And thanks for all your videos. I really enjoy them.
Thanks Clint
Most impressive! Nicely done! It's great to see one of our cane mills refurbished and in working order! Goldens’ Foundry & Machine Company began production in 1882, producing cane mills, evaporators and syrup kettles during that time. 136+ years later, we still create large cast iron parts for large, multi-national companies. On the consumer side, those syrup kettles are the inspiration for Goldens' Cast Iron Fire Pits with 1/2 inch ductile cast iron construction and our 3/8" ductile cast iron kamado cookers that are superior to those popular foreign made ceramic cookers! You can't beat American made durability and flavorabilty of cast iron that lasts for generations! We appreciate your video Danny and we're very impressed by your many talents!
Thanks for the comment. I wish these products were still in production today so many people ask me where they can get a mill at. I truly love mine.
@@DeepSouthHomestead You really did a fantastic job. It's a true testament to your amazing skills and the durability of Goldens' Cast Iron products. So nice to see one in operation. Unfortunately, we don't make those cane mills and haven't for many years. Even though we manufacture large cast iron parts for companies, the closest thing we have is the syrup kettle fire pit. We say both because it can be used for both. We only make 20 and 30 gallon sizes because they are the most popular. The only difference between a kettle and fire pit is having a hole drilled in the center, bottom for drainage. Without the hole, it's a syrup kettle but the buyer must request pre-drilled. Great video! We certainly enjoyed it! Thank you!
@@GoldensCastIron I would love to show one of these on our channel as a syrup cooking kettle. We have so many people ask me where they can get a kettle.
@@DeepSouthHomestead Well, we don't make the cane mills anymore but our 20 & 30 fire pits are in fact syrup kettles. No difference with exception of a pre-drilled hole in the center but you can order without the pre-drilled hole.
@@GoldensCastIron how much are the 30 gallon kettles without a hole in the bottom. We would like to see about getting one in the future for our channel to show.
Great job Danny! The bearing rig was pure genius! I was actually afraid the lead was going to do what it did if the bottom of that jack shaft was not sealed. The paint job and your attention to detail on the restoration are fantastic! That fine old mill deserves it! Another lost art being revived, can't wait to see it in action this winter! Zoltan, pay attention, the education you are getting is priceless!
Watching Danny paint out the letters reminded me of watching my stepfather paint out trim on an old Studebaker he refurbished. He didn't appreciate the audience for such close work and turned around and painted my nose!
Thank you, Danny for your willingness to share your attention to detail. Looking forward to videos from processing the cane! Shared on Facebook.
Wow! That was so cool to watch, a couple times I was holding my breath while you were assembling hoping no smashed fingers and saying use your knees not your back! lol! It's beautiful and I can't wait to see it in action!
This is just awesome. Sharing this restoration is teaching people, like me, history. Thank you so much.
Danny wow.As a machinist watching this was something.Babbit bearing without a machine shop setting.Working on the ground even wow.I marvel at this.At the homestead the term jack of all trade must have come from.Well done Sir.My hats off to you.I would have loved being part of your project awesome.That young man has just learned a skill that is rarely seen done.Make me want to go out and find a old cane grinder to rebuild.Matter of fact as a kid.A friend in the neighborhood had one set up in the yard for years.Im gonna check on that.Thanks God Bless.
Thanks for the blessings
Danny you and my hubby is so much a like. Ya'll can fix anything! Just love not having not throwing stuff out.
Just amazing! A mill over 100 years old and looks good as new. Love it!
Can't wait to see it in action Danny. so glad you have Zoltan there to help you.
WOW! That red paint with the 'golden' letters looks mighty sharp! That's not an item you see on very many farms! You did a great job - hope it works as well as it looks!
Great job Danny! I was holding my breath when you picked it up with the tractor. Very nice! Can't wait to see it action. Thanks for sharing
Favorite you tube channel. Thanks for sharing. We have 45 acres in the white mountains in AZ we are having fun with. Your channel is very helpful for us.
I am lucky to have come across your channel. I am learning so much from you and Wanda. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us.
That was awesome! My Dad would have loved this video. He too was a remarkable man. You remind me of him with your ways of doing things around your farm.
Danny, I sure which you was around the corner. I would had loved to come give you a hand. My Grandfather, Father like I were all Millwrights, I have most of all their Babbit pouring tools. I would love to have to come scrapped and blued some bearings. I have quite a few pieces that I am rebuilding and filming for my channel, a Williams corn grinder, 3 corn shellers and a Fairbanks Morse engine, in negotiations on Sugar Mill. Love the video.
We will have to see what you post on your rebuildings. These things interest me. Thanks
Brother nice work! I know I am a bit late on this. One small tip if you need to do more casting. You can use cat litter as your clay. Just wet it and mix. God Bless Brother.
Is lead a good substitute for the babbitt alloy? How is it holding up?
Been holding up really good so far. It was made from the original material bearing were made from.
I love the old cane mills. My grandpa would use an old lawn tractor to turn his. He didn't have a mule. We used to eat a lot of the cane while he was milling it. Great stuff. Great video. Thanks
I Remember the Days when My Dad Re-Done his Bearings, Our Mill was about 1/3 Bigger than the One you Have....That was some Good Ole days..................
Im trying to find words to show my appreciation... Im having trouble just getting past wow tho.
Danny and Zoltan, fantastic job... (so jealous of Zoltan, what an opportunity!)
Awesome cane mill. Looks so pretty all painted up. Will be waiting to see it in action.
Very cool machine. But its not acceptable to use lead bearings on anything food related anymore.
Wondering if lead free silver bearing solder would be a safer option
A silver bismuth mix might be ok. Expensive but safe.
The way the mill is made it never comes in contact with the syrup juice.
Daddy use to work for the phone company, down in the manholes they would use lead to cover large splice casings. We would use lead around the farm for all sorts of things. The spattering you experienced was from the lead touching water (wet sand) and explosively steaming off. Sand has to be absolutely DRY when you pour. Make the mold one day, leave in the sun, then pour the next. Might start with a sand bottom too when you put your bearing case in. Sure brings back memories. I am still wondering if zinc would do the job too! I am going to have to investigate that a little.
THIS IS TURE HOMESTEADING!!! Thanks so much for taking us along for this journey. I loved it!!!!!!
Thanks
Thirty years is a-long-time-coming ... amazing and awesome! Some questions for your live chat: I discovered the hard way that fire ants love to eat lard ... how often will you have to re-grease and will Zoltan be available to help? Also, how do you keep birds (& bees) from building nests in it? Thanks
Everytime we use it we will grease it. You just clean it each time. The animals are going to do their thing. Thanks
Crisco is not lard. Lard, a rendered fat, comes from a pig. Crisco, vegetable shortening, comes from cottonseed and soybeans. You can make lard at home with a pot and a stove. You cannot make vegetable shortening at home without the equipment to press the oil from the plants, then you must hydrogenate the oil.
I'm sure you used Crisco instead of an industrial grease because this machine makes food and you want to keep it "food grade". An oil bath of peanut or coconut would be better in my opinion since Crisco melts easily and will not lubricate well for long.
Very cool. thanks Danny You getting a mule to power it?
No, lawn mower
Your talents continue to amaze me! Love to have a thimble full of the knowledge that you have!! Great video!!!!
Nice job yall..im going to have to show this to my Dad..he will get such a kick out of it..Thanks for sharing!! =)
the simplicity of old tech is amazing. Newer mills might have a chip that asks to connect to the internet before working
Shared on Facebook. Loved watching you put the mill back together. Congrats on reaching your goals.
Glad you finally got it back together. Should last many more years. I've got several projects that i may never finish.
I have been wanting to do this for many years. So glad it is done. Can't wait to try it out.
It always makes me smile seeing something old brought back to life. My personal hobby is restoring old garden tractors. Good work Danny.
Thanks, glad to bring back some good memories for you.
What a very interesting video. It looks so nice is the reason for lard due to food product being put through it? So you don't get sick or a bad flavour.
Although I am not Danny, the answer to your questions is Yes. You can imagine if you used automotive grease as is used on most bearing surfaces, as it heated up it would drip or run down and into the juice being expressed. The Crisco/lard will probably lose some as the press wheels turn but it won't taint the cane juice being pressed out.
You did a fabulous job Danny! Got two questions, do you have to clean it out after and how? and the line that would run to the pan, is it buried? so you can run the tractor around or do you hold the syrup til you're done, attach the line and then release it? Thanks.
All you have to do is run water through the mill till it's clean. Yes the line needs to be buried so you can run over it. It runs into a 100 gallon tub then drained into the syrup pan.
That will get your juices flowing!, Nice work! Look forward to the process of you guys making syrup, Thanks!
When Sweet Man and I first married, his uncle would make cane syrup every Thanksgiving Day. Everyone had their own job, from stacking and feeding the cane to cleanup of the bagasse. The actual cooking though was done only by the older men. Great memories!! thanks for the video, I shared to facebook.
Thanks
Definitely a cool project but you were saying its what ya do when you dont have the right tools to do anything with, then just measure the inside and outside diameters and then simply put that information in an online search that will quickly bring up ball bearings for it
that is awesome that you was able to restore the sugar cane mill.... Zoltan has probably learned more in his week there from Danny than most people would learn in many years.. what a blessing for him and for you all also.
THanks
Hello D & W, I shared this video with my brother via E-mail.
OAG
Thanks
Hello, I really enjoyed watching you refurbish this can mill. Something I have never seen! Good job! Hope the syrup is delicious! I don't have FB or any of those others, but I have taken the link and shared it in an email to my friends! I also sent it to The Commons Community Workshop . They have a FB page. I will make sure to have them share this video on their site. Hope this will qualify for an entry. Thanks!
Yes it does Thanks
great video demonstrating how to "improvise & FIX" things (even 100+ yr old equip) kids today are missing out on a lost art of living by reuse, repurposed & improvising!
shared this on my FB & my g+
.....Great Paint job! (steady hand!)
Thanks
Danny, any idea where you can get a press. Any decent homemade ones??🌱
Only place I know of is nothern tool company.
@@DeepSouthHomestead Thank you!!
Nice to see the old stuff made to run again. Nice job!
it was a pleasure to watch you get that back together. Grandma had one but no idea what happened to it.
Great job on the restore. What mill is this? I just picked up a Golden's #3 New Model.
Very cool Danny. Necessity is the mother of invention on that Bering box! Genius!
Thanks guys
What is old , is new again! I loved this video!! In this "throw away" society it is so nice to see these things fixed and used. There is a reason that it is over 110 yrs old and you can still use it. Love watching !!
Thanks
Next Danny you need a Horse Sweep, if you find two I need one bad. A horse sweep is a piece of equipment that powers other equipment using horses, mules or oxen, great for a homestead.
That would be nice. I will keep my eyes open for them. We would need a horse, mule or oxen then. Thanks
Thanks Danny and Wanda, please enter us in the giveaway. We are sharing it on our personal Facebook and our The Simple Life with Kevin and Kristen Facebook page!
Thanks
I have a golden Chattooga 80 gallons syrup kettle no cracks,, no of anyone interested in buying it had it in family for over 100 plus years,, was going to build furnace but no mill for it
Just seeing this if you still have it where do you live so I can mention it.
Love seeing the lost skills meet the new generations...
That was a scary tractor ride to the back forty with the mill swinging.
Yeah, it was scary! Thanks
60 years ago we had 2 cane mills but ours wasn't enclosed like yours but I sure miss the syrup we made. We had green cane from Cuba and we lived in middle Florida. I have some red cane I am raising now that someone gave me this summer but it is very different. You make good videos and I just found your site.
Thanks BK
yes, As I guessed, not. I pay attention an knew. yes, been waiting for this thank you Danny.
Not how I'd do it, but it got the job done ... very good!!!
Do you visit your local scrap yard???
The things you can find and buy are amazing, they normally charge about double the price they pay for scrap, but often you'll get 10 times or more the value for your dollar. Many years ago I bought a 20 foot long non-magnetic stainless steel processing table for about $60, the cost new would have been about $1,100.00 ... amazing find.
Have been really enjoying your videos, and have shared many of them with my friends and family through email. Thank you both for taking the time to share your knowledge....
Thanks Rita
Shared with FaceBook. I love the old sugar cane mill. I REALLY love home made cane syrup. Takes me back to a kid....Thank you
Thanks Sharon
Where do u buy one?
This one is around 25 years old or older. You can buy something similar that squeezes out juice. You can google cane mills
How many acres of cane are you growing? When I lived in Florida, every first weekend in December, there would be cane grinding all around the area and the public was invited to the festivities and you could buy bottles of fresh cane syrup after it was boiled down.
We have 2 small patches of cane. Hoping to extend it next year to a couple of acres. Thanks
Wow. You are a true inspiration in this day of a throw away society. Well done.
Can't wait for the syrup video.
How long did it take you to re-build the cane mill? shared on Facebook!
Two days, Thanks
Shared on FB . Amazing work Danny. Beautiful
Great job....can't wait to see it in action!
Soon, thanks
awesome to watch you two at work, nice job
Fantastic video. Shared this with my friends and family on Facebook.
Thanks
very cool to see that mill brought back!! I gained an old Molasses mill when we bought the farm 40 yrs ago and I moved it here. Its full of red wasps most of the time, but would sure like to see it re-furbished some day!!
We have used it the past 2 winters and it works great. This past winter we cooked about 75 pints of cane syrup.
Cool usage of half bearings working in opposition.
Thanks
awesome video, fantastic job on the cane mill, God bless you and your family
One horse mill?....Going to use a horse or your lawn tractor?
Lawn mower Thanks
Danny+Wanda+Zoltan = Unstoppable! I have to admit I too held my breath when you picked it up! Absolutely fascinating to watch y'all work in perfect harmony! TYFS! Prayers & Hugs for all.
Thanks, Roxy. We were all holding our breathe!
That's phenomenal! The prettiest mule mill I've ever seen!
Thanks
excellent restore..grade A AMERICAN steel (or cast iron).....that will do....but i got to ask.....will the mill be up for sale soon?....hahahahahaha...i think i know the answer to that......and the colors look GREAT.....
No, not for sale. Thanks
You guys are super smart and ingenious. I enjoyed watching the entire video as if it was my project. Thanks.
New subbie here. Shared vid on Facebook and on Pinterest. Knowing that there are people who can think, create and make things gives me hope for our country.
Thanks, glad to see another Wanda.
Danny, are y'all going to make any molasses, this year ? We really like all y'alls videos, so keep making lots more.
We are going to squeeze our sugar cane. We will be making cane syrup with it. Thanks
Just shared refurbished Cain mill on Facebook.
Thanks
Shared this video with my wife and kids. I don't do other social media.
That counts. Thanks
Now you need a horse or a donkey. Or you could put Zoltan on the lawn mower going in circles
It will probably be Wanda on a lawn mower. Working on a system by next year to have PTO on tractor run it. Thanks
would love to see the process I have some sorghum seed grew volunteer from chicken scratch and trying to get some sugar cane seed would like to try it just for fun
Sugar cane is a rhizone. It grows from an eye on the cane. Sorghum grows from seed. It is very easy to grow once you get it started. Thanks
Shared on facebook. Thanks Danny and Wanda.
Thanks Lisa
Shared on Facebook with my friends. I think they will find this repair quit interesting. If at first you don't succeed try again.
I could fabricate you a sleeve not made of lead. I assume the lead does not have any ability to mix in to the cane product correct?
why not use aluminum insted of toxic lead?
Shared on FaceBook! Have some family that will love your ingenuity - using nothing to make something!
Thanks Roxy
Sir you have coined the word Ingenuity. My version is to create something from nothing. Rgds. Abid ex Nicholls State down the Bayou.
Great video Danny i enjoyed it very much , is the young man your hired help its good you have somebody you give you a hand on the farm , another question i have how do you like your Belarus tractor ?
Zoltan is a WWOOFER, he helps out here and we help him learn about gardening, homesteading and English language.
It is always nice to have another pair of hands. I love the tractor.
ONCE AGAIN MCGYVER AT WORK... NICE DANNY!!!
Nice job- looks like new!
I loved this video.......but TACO anyway. (next time you won't know)
Hey I love tacos! Thanks
Put some Lard in the Babitt bearings
Ken Alexander Lard is what we use now. It works very well and safe.
You made a JOURNAL bearing!
Liked and Shared on Facebook,pintrest, linked in and Instagram oh and google plus! Loved watching this! It looks beautiful!
Thanks, Kitti
Very interesting and it looks like you got a good helper. 😄
