Coffee Grinder Restoration & Customization - Making a New Drawer with xTool D1 Pro Laser
ฝัง

- In this restoration video, I'll bring an antique coffee grinder produced by the KBS company back to life.
Short info about restoration:
The restoration process was challenging because all the parts were rusty and chipped. The coffee grinder was built from several elements that I had to restore one by one. Also, this video is not strictly about restoration but also a bit of customization. The coffee grinder will remain in my collection, and I decided to make it to my taste.
It took me a week to get this result, and I hope you like it, especially the color I chose, chocolate bronze! Delicious!
In this video, you'll see ceramic repair with epoxy resin and hardener (a relatively new process you probably never encountered on TH-cam). I like to bring new stuff into my videos and experiment. Powder coating, wood restoration (making a new drawer with the xTool laser), sandblasting, tin metal welding, laser engraving, and laser cutting with the xTool D1 Pro laser machine, in addition to the usual details of restoration work.
Short info about this antique coffee grinder:
I bought it at a flea market in Krakow for $5, thinking it would make a great restoration video. After some research on the internet, I discovered that this beautiful coffee grinder is worth much more; prices range from $70 to $120, depending on the condition. This antique utensil is gorgeous but has been beaten by time.
I still haven't found out precisely what KBS stands for; it's short for the name of the company that made this coffee grinder. It's probably German, but I couldn't find any information about this company anywhere. It has disappeared with time. If you have any knowledge about this, please feel free to comment.
I love how this antique KBS coffee grinder turned out, and I'm glad I was able to save it from decay.
It is now perfectly functional and can be used again!
PS: It makes delicious coffee!
I hope you will enjoy this video!

Hi folks! This time you will see a beautiful antique coffee grinder. I had a lot of good time restoring this, and I hope you will enjoy the video. Thank you all for your support and please grind the like button! Enjoy the video and your coffee! ☕️ ☕️ ☕️
Just a little FYI...It's "Ta-dah!" Not Ta-dam!!
Haha, nice. I'm my language it's ta-dam! Funny! 😅
I will use it! Thanks!
@@rustyshadesrestoration...You're very welcome!! Great job, btw!
Thank you 🙂
Stunning restoration! The dream of all coffee lovers who hate electric gizmos! Well done!
Я бы опять покрасила в красный). Я обожаю красный и зелёный на старых вещах. Они такие красивые. Сейчас такие цвета почему-то редкость
Really loved the hot blueing! 🎉
I do like that milk chocolate colour!
I'm glad you like it. I was thinking that it is a perfect colour for a coffee grinder 🙂
Fabulous work! Each project is both interesting and educational. I learn a lot about items and their workings just watching you.
I'm happy to know that and I appreciate that you are here at every video. Cheers!
Oh I’d love one of those.
Yes, they are beautiful 😍
Love it, I would like to have a hand coffee grinder.....I am tired of the noise in 🙃the morning!
Happy to know that! I have 2, this one and a bigger one. If you want I can send the bigger one to you for free. Just reach me out by mail. You can find it on about section of my channel.
Geniusz! 😊 ze zwykłego złomu zrobić cudo, to trzeba mieć talent. Zazdroszczę.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 🙂
Must make the coffee!!!
It was late when I finished and I had 3 already at that moment. Didn't want to waste a coffee 🙂
Moja babcia miała właśnie taki, kręciliśmy nim pieprz jako dzieci, nawet nie wiedziałem, że ma regulacje wielkości ziaren. W oryginale był koloru podkładówki, ciemnoczerwony, albo już tak sie wytarł, włącznie z górną częścią. Części metalowe miał tak samo zardzewiałe jak ten na początku.
Ja bym logo umieścił od spodu, nie byłoby narażone na zabrudzenie mielonymi rzeczami, a dostępne tylko dla co bardziej dociekliwych.
That was great 👍 looked like it was in a bad way at the start. Great colour choice you made. I'll have my coffee white with one thanks ☕
Thanks buddy! ✊️ Enjoy your coffee!
@@rustyshadesrestoration your making the coffee I thought.
Hahah, of course! Here it is ☕️
@@rustyshadesrestoration lol cheers buddy 💰💰💰 keep the change
Very nice object, well done.👍
Thank you 🙂 I'm glad that you enjoyed the video! Cheers!
Maravillosa restauración. Saludos desde Valdivia al sur de Chile 🇨🇱
Gracias! Saludos desede a Polonia! 😃
I think I like them mounted on a base board so you don’t have to hold the body while grinding. I’ve seen them both ways .lovely!
This one wasn't designed to be mounted on a board, but previous owner did it, had some little holes pierced randomly. I will let the next owner to choose how he wants it 😌
@@rustyshadesrestoration I saw that! It just seemed a bit clumsy to have to grip the whole case to turn the handle. Works great either way.
I have one with a handle on the side that one holds while grinding. It belonged to some of the great-great relatives of the past.
My parents picked up a very similar model in an antique store in Germany in the 60s. Still in good working order and I have it now (and use it on special occasions) Great video
They were built to last. I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 🙂
I really love that chocolate brown, that made it look so much better. Really great job
Thank you! 🙂
....good one, great to watch watch with my morning coffee, keep safe...
Thank you Bob! Cheers!
I love your channel you do a lot of nice work!
Thank you! I'm happy to know that you enjoy my work/videos. Have a great day!
Great job. Nothing is too difficult to achieve the perfect cup of coffee lol x
Absolutely 🙂 Thank you!
Amazing😊
I really love all your wonderful restaurations. But there is something I also love .. your slurping cheeky eyed vacuum.
Hahah! I'm happy to know that! Cheers 👀
A beautiful job of restoration there mate. Great attention to detail and that laser sure makes easy work of fiddly bits. I like the logo inside the drawer. Nice touch.
Thank you! 👊 I enjoy a lot working with this kind of tools.
Nice work. The color was spot on.
Thank you Jack! 🙂
Hello mister beautiful restoration good job well done
Thank you Vince! 🙂
Excelente trabalho 👏👏🇧🇷
Obrigado Marcello! 👍
Mükemmmel emeğinize sağlık 👍😊
Thank you 🙂
🤗👍🙏🇻🇪
Thank you for watching Jose!
Why on earth did you paint it brown?
Why not? I love that colour, and I think it is an excellent fit for a coffee grinder. Coffee with milk colour 😋
Not up to your usual standards.
What do you mean?
The ceramic dish was very rough. The cut edges of the box for the coffee grounds was black from the laser and there was discoloration along the edges so the box looks cheaply made. And if I was the end user, the engraved logo INSIDE of the box would have been very annoying as grounds would get into it. But this is just my opinion.
😅
Thank you for your sincerely feedback. The ceramic looks that way because it is quite impossible to make it look better, that's why you will not see any restorers doing that in any video. I didn't care about beautiful finish so much compared with how much I cared to show that's possible to repair it. (It is a challenge). About the drawer, it is your choice to like it or no. For me was interesting to customise it using the laser machine. (also something different and unusual). I like from time to time, to test and create stuff not following some certain rules/standards. Life is boring with too much rules 🙂
I don't disagree with you, but I now have to express a concern in light of your stated value on the item (you bought it for $5.00, but how it was worth much more...$70 to $120) which would leave folks with the impression that if they do what you just did, they can in turn sell the item for that amount. And that is not true. I own quite a few vintage items including a coffee grinder and there is a definite price difference between 'rescues' and 'restorations' and this is a rescue.
Good job man
Thank you! 👊
Very nice object, well done.👍
Thank you! 🙂
