That first one is a coconut scraper. It's commonly used in SouthEast Asia. 🥥 This particular one doesn't look necessarily very antique. Nineteen 50s maybe. The same design is still being used by many
I have that lens cup and while filming a segment one time I had a intern with me and I handed him the "lens" asking him to hold it for a second and said don't drop this it's very expensive and right as it was about to change hands I dropped it. The look on his face as the color left his face will be something I'll never forget. The cup or lens was completely fine.
Tim that is a coconut scraper, we own one at my house, we often use it to scrape out the white flesh of the coconut for various dishes, it's very useful, our one is made entirely of metal and is screwed onto a table top in order to scrape coconuts.
Like Tim I assumed it was for scraping out the insides of softer fruits like lemons or oranges. But coconut scraper does make a lot more sense, especially seeing as it sturdily nails into the wall which implies a level of resistance you don't need with something soft like a lemon.
@@rodenreyes6320 pfft it runs on asian grandmother energy, who needs a motor lol. also the motorised ones are far more dangerous because they can easily hurt the user if the blades catch or the base cannot properly attach to a countertop or smth. much rather use it by hand.
I like how the coconut scraper (even the recently bought ones) in most of our homes is the same as was probably more than a hundred years ago. Guess all are happy with it's design and ease of use, and no one bothers to over engineer and overcomplicate the coconut grater.
No foolin. You got one of those? I had a Led zeppelin album cover that had dried watercolors on it. "In through the outdoor". I found out the hard way. I got it wet, next thing I knew it was like an easter egg coloring class gone awry. 😆
I dont know why but this video made me feel strangely at peace. Watching him enjoy the smallest almost mundane little things was... refreshing... finding joy in the smaller things in life is such a great thing. I thank you for bringing a smile to my face and a tear to my eye.
Another great one! It's a nice break from all the negative crap in the world, to see the cleverness and imaginativeness of people. There's a bit of a public service in that. Thanks!
The other day I watched someone going through some antiques. He came across one marked 'foreign', and mentioned that during WW2, items made in Germany would sometimes be marked that way for sales in North America and elsewhere, because otherwise people didn't want to buy them, fearing that doing so would be seen as supporting the German war effort. Great video! I thought the coconut scraper might have bee a tool for hollowing out the bowl of a wooden spoon. lol Oops. In hindsight, the coconut scraper makes much more sense. Cheers!
I loved hearing the "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" getting slower and more ominous the whole time. It was like I was expecting the boogeyman to pop out when the song was done. I know that wasn't intentional but I found this endlessly amusing!
There was one of these coconut scrappers on the UK TV series "The Repair Shop" for repair. Which season and episode I would not remember. I was delighted to see you with one. Cheers
I mean it could be a mother because the mothers do take care of the chicka after they come back from fishing in Julyish we don't know how old the baby is to be certain
I've never seen a coconut scrapper exactly like that one. That circular design is usually seen in the electric ones, which are usually attached to wet grinders. Manual ones we normally use in home aren't designed like that. They're flat. And you scrape the coconut over the teeth. Takes 10 minutes for me, mum does it in 1 minute. (And with electric ones, it would barely take 10 seconds) Rotating the handle and holding the coconut at the same time sounds very difficult tho
You made me smile today. I used to scrape the coconut for my Ammachi (Grandmother) and I took forever. She could do it so fast and got everything down to the shell out. We had a scraper that was built on a little footstool-type platform, and you would sit on it with the coconut between your legs and get good leverage that way. And yes, it was flat, not spherical.
That first one is actually a coconut scraper for making coconut strips which is used in many things. Here in the Philippines There are a lot of motorized scrapers and spoons attached to stools
@@Oliver-ku1tf As a matter of fact, I HAVE! And not only did they provide me with that whisper-quiet miracle machine, but they also threw in a bottle of Sun-and-Run, the sun block that is also a laxative!
That 1st thing is a coconut scraper, and one of those is currently in use in my house, i never cared about it but when he said antiques piece the respect towards the coconut scraper increased 100 folds in my heart.
I think the Bambi one is for a visitor's book. It was placed outside your door so if your friends popped in they could write on it 'I came by, you were not home, I come back after six' or something. Also mailmen could write on it, 'I came with a large packet, come pick it up from post office'
Totally a coconut meat shredder. They're usually stationary, though. I Think this would be difficult to use. The old ones are mounted on a log that one sits on. One's weight keeps it in place while one moves the coconut shell around to shred out the meat, inside.
Well that is a coconut scraper, makes very tiny shavings to extract coconut milk and oil. Pretty much found in every household in Singapore and India too…..
The coloring book is kinda like the album cover to Led Zeppelins In Through the OutDoor. They had six different album covers of the same image, but of different camera angles. On top of that, If you look closely, you can see little dots, they're dried watercolors. I found out the hard way. If you have that album cover and insist on putting it to the test, use caution. Pick an inconspicuous spot and just touch it with a damp Q-tip. If it gets too wet, it'll screw up the album cover. Colors will run all over it.
The first thing is not a juicer but is used for shredding dry coconuts jelly out of a shell. The white coconut jelly grows hard as the coconut dries, and does not want to come out of the shell so you mount this grinder thing to a tables edge and grind away. The hardened jelly comes out as a granulated milky substance that is then used in Caribbean creole cooking. You do need to mount this to the edge of a table though and I don't understand why yours comes without a clamp. Maybe I'm wrong but it certainly looks like a coconut jelly grinder.
I think it would work it would work better with coconuts. Placing the device on the floor and your knee on the board for leverage. My grandmother's use something similar but it is just one plank of wood and one round pointy blade
As evidenced by the red stripe and the L in the product name, the lens is meant to mimic Canon's F-series lenses, which are usually of higher quality and price than non-red-striped offerings.
I would have used the first one as a Juicer/pulper as well, but after reading the comments, it seems to be a coconut scraper, to get all the meat out of the nut, and that makes perfect sense to me as well, and I think it might have been good at both, but After thinking about it, it does look kinda small for a coconut, I would have thought a bit bigger but who am I to argue? LOL THanks for sharing Tim! Always get a kick out of your vids!
I have had several phone cases with similar pockets to the one pictured - although not nearly quite so many - and they do lose their elasticity after normal use. You can fit more in, but it is also more liable to let things spill out. The material is not long-wearing. But that is after months and months of daily use as a phone case wallet combo where it was used for credit cards or even folded-up paper/cash sliding in and out daily. There are a lot of useful subreddits for things like this. My most recent posts asking about something on my pipes (a mineral deposit? some kind of infestation or wood rot or metal flaking off? fiber insulation? the shell of a dead insect?) were deleted and I was redirected to plant- and mushroom-identification subreddits. I had to ask the mod why - they said it was obviously a fungus, so I asked in the fungus identification subreddit. And what do you know - they were right! But anyway, a lot of the posts there are about exactly this sort of question. R/whatisthisthing has lists of frequently-asked-and-answered items to not bother asking about too, along with explanations and photos of each. Fun to go on there and play detective, too.

You know you're old when you realize that so many toys from your childhood needed to be wound up. I'm going back to sleep now until the nurse brings my medication.😊❤❤❤
the first one is something used to scrape coconuts. I'm from India and my family has one (although not the exact same design) and we use it all the time to scrape coconuts.
@1:06 seriously? LOL! Took me a second to know what it's for. Well, perhaps, growing up in a well nigh Chinese/Indonesian community has given me an edge. We EVEN have the older version of that coconut meat (the matured variety) scraper. The one where you you need TO SIT on it. oh those OLDEN days. 😀😀😀
Doe the coconut crak slowly expand a hole pushed into a coconut shell, avoiding the need for a hammer in the kitchen? I always wondered how people who used them a lot raw dealt with the hard shells routinely.

Well I'll be... A short Google search and there it is (although newer looking!).
Yeah; he was on the right track, just wrong fruit, haha
dude I got one!
we still use this at our home in bengal- india
That’s nuts
I've been watching Tim since I was young. He helps me relax! Thanks for still making these vids after all these years, yall!
Legend
Same… except every once in a while he does loud toys or whistles 😅
You like Thegaminglemon?
In 2 years time I will be able to say that!

XD you are _evil_
I've done that with a fake egg multiple times haha, nice story
It's all fun and games til your telephoto lens gets filled with coffee.
And now you know to never give him a camera lens again
Tim that is a coconut scraper, we own one at my house, we often use it to scrape out the white flesh of the coconut for various dishes, it's very useful, our one is made entirely of metal and is screwed onto a table top in order to scrape coconuts.
Well explained!
We wanted to get a motorized one but then we realized we only break it out like twice a month
Like Tim I assumed it was for scraping out the insides of softer fruits like lemons or oranges. But coconut scraper does make a lot more sense, especially seeing as it sturdily nails into the wall which implies a level of resistance you don't need with something soft like a lemon.
It's for scraping the inside of a coconut which is somewhat soft.
@@mamuteddymad sure, but is it as soft as lemon
Coconut scraper definitely. It has sharp AND SERRATED edges. Used in South India too.
Coconut grater, but I doubt if it does a good job...looks flimsy.Graters today have at least a half horsepower motor.
@@rodenreyes6320 pfft it runs on asian grandmother energy, who needs a motor lol. also the motorised ones are far more dangerous because they can easily hurt the user if the blades catch or the base cannot properly attach to a countertop or smth. much rather use it by hand.
My grandpa had one of those lens mugs when I was little. I found it endlessly fascinating.
some of these items may have been replaced by newer ones, but tim is irreplaceable 💗
I like how the coconut scraper (even the recently bought ones) in most of our homes is the same as was probably more than a hundred years ago. Guess all are happy with it's design and ease of use, and no one bothers to over engineer and overcomplicate the coconut grater.
Tim, I enjoy your fascination with toys and unusual things. We really appreciate your channel.
Tim, thank you for your videos, I genuinely appreciate them. They are so entertaining and heartwarming.
First one is a Coconut Scraper
spot on
They have modern ones with a motor which us terrifying
Exactly
Indian 🇮🇳
The guys on Sorted Food showed the Electric version and we're completely terrified of it.
Why do I get really excited every time Tim shows something that I also have? It just makes me feel super cool! 😁😁 (I have a reverse colouring book)
Ah, but Im sure your cool all the same.
No foolin. You got one of those? I had a Led zeppelin album cover that had dried watercolors on it. "In through the outdoor". I found out the hard way. I got it wet, next thing I knew it was like an easter egg coloring class gone awry. 😆

1st one we still use daily here in Sri Lanka and south asia in general, it's a coconut scraper.
hello sri lankan brother!!
@@mibber121 🙏 well hello to you too..
The little music box playing throughout makes the video all the more charming.
The other day I watched someone going through some antiques. He came across one marked 'foreign', and mentioned that during WW2, items made in Germany would sometimes be marked that way for sales in North America and elsewhere, because otherwise people didn't want to buy them, fearing that doing so would be seen as supporting the German war effort.
Great video! I thought the coconut scraper might have bee a tool for hollowing out the bowl of a wooden spoon. lol Oops. In hindsight, the coconut scraper makes much more sense.
Cheers!
Tim talking a million miles an hour over the top of the gentle twinkle twinkle music really fried my brain
Mr Rowett is honestly one of the most likable human being existent out there!
I love the demonstration of drinking from the "lens". Really enjoy your videos Tim 💙
I loved hearing the "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" getting slower and more ominous the whole time. It was like I was expecting the boogeyman to pop out when the song was done. I know that wasn't intentional but I found this endlessly amusing!
Are you sure it wasn't the "Alphabet Song?" There are a few other songs that share this same melody!
@@JV-pu8kx it's the melody of "Altijd is kortjakje ziek" in the Netherlands, a children's song about a prostitute :)
You mean like th-cam.com/video/2f7sJyIDU-Q/w-d-xo.htmlsi=EXeaovI7WfcTUoQU

0:11 thats a coconut grinder, it grinds the inside of a cut coconut
I would assume something similar. Pulping the inside of fruits. But I'm sure it's perfectly serviceable as a makeshift juicer as well
It is still used in our kitchens...
Not as a juicer but as a coconut scraper...
The beaver puzzle reminded me of a heart-shaped,jewelry box puzzle; recently made
Shut up
It’s an Emperor Penguin, so it’s a dad, not a mother. Lovely toys, as always. Thank you Tim ❤
I mean it could be a mother because the mothers do take care of the chicka after they come back from fishing in Julyish we don't know how old the baby is to be certain
@@lrmclinn Prolly one of the pregnant males one hears so much about these days..
Item #2, Letter Holder for OUTGOING mail. A reminder to take them to the post office (Disney Bambi Themed).
As always, very interesting!
Thanks for sharing!!

That wallet would probably be a good place to store novelty business cards
I know its a coconut scraper now but that works way better than a typical juicer
I was thinking the same thing. I thought that it had some similarities to a coconut scraper that I’ve used.
Well yeah, isn't your typical juicer just pressing the orange firmly on your forehead until liquid comes out into your waiting glass?
@@ccggenius Have you tried the Juice Loosener? I put in a bag of oranges and it gave me a whole few drops!

I'm thinking that camera lens may be for sneaking more than coffee where it may not belong
U wouldn't b the first 2 think that, & I TOTALLY AGREE

I adore that idea! Might do it, actually :) Thanks!
That Canon lens cup was the favorite coffee mug of my collegue at my previous work.
Totally a coconut meat shredder. They're usually stationary, though. I Think this would be difficult to use. The old ones are mounted on a log that one sits on. One's weight keeps it in place while one moves the coconut shell around to shred out the meat, inside.
Love a table full of turnip cubes with gulls spiked into them. Also appreciate Tim having the strength of character to drink a bit of his own juice
Well that is a coconut scraper, makes very tiny shavings to extract coconut milk and oil. Pretty much found in every household in Singapore and India too…..
I like the little Canon lens can. I have one of these myself.

The juicer things is used for coconut flesh (matured coconut) scraper in South East Asia. It a must have tool in a Sri Lankan households!
It it indeed a coconut scraper, and you can still buy them. A fantastic tool!
I Love that camera lens flask 💌
I think it would work it would work better with coconuts. Placing the device on the floor and your knee on the board for leverage. My grandmother's use something similar but it is just one plank of wood and one round pointy blade
I'm Sri Lankan and I remember as a helping my mom use that to make pol-sambal. Amazing throw back for me sir!
Reminds me of watching the children’s tv show “HOW” back in the day when I was young 😃😃😃👍👍
As evidenced by the red stripe and the L in the product name, the lens is meant to mimic Canon's F-series lenses, which are usually of higher quality and price than non-red-striped offerings.
Yes indeed, that weird device from the beginning is a coconut scraper. We tropical islanders have seen our good share of it.
I've been watching you for years I still love your videos
Like someone said, the first one is a coconut meat scraper. Nowadays there are motorized units.
Twinkle twinkle playing in the background as Tim evicerated the beaver was magnificent
what about a string winder? various strings might overlap and form a braiding, or maybe the same thing for winding yarn

I walked along the avenue
I never thought I'd meet a girl like you
Meet a girl like you
With auburn hair and tawny eyes
The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through
Hypnotize me through
And I ran, I ran so far away
I just ran, I ran all night and day
I couldn't get away
A cloud appears above your head
A beam of light comes shining down on you
Shining down on you
The cloud is moving nearer still
Aurora borealis comes in view
Aurora comes in view
And I ran, I ran so far away
I just ran, I ran all night and day
I couldn't get away
Reached out a hand to touch your face
You're slowly disappearing from my view
'Pearing from my view
Reached out a hand to try again
I'm floating in a beam of light with you
A beam of light with you
And I ran, I ran so far away
I just ran, I ran all night and day
And I ran, I ran so far away
I just ran, I couldn't get away
Ah. I get it. Flock of Seagulls, very good.
I love your videos I pray they never stop. God bless you and you loved ones.
I know the one in the thumbnail because I saw it on the back of a copy of _Cook’s Illustrated._ It’s for grating coconut.

Sir, its older design of hand operated coconut grater, used in India, still in use at some places.
Thé first one is a coconut scraper. I still have it at my home.
Never heard the term *"vacuum flask"* as a substitute for _thermos_ before. Thanks for teaching me and help expand my horizon.
Thermos is a brand name, although certainly a very successful one. Like Kleenex I suppose.

Did you put the beaver back together?
The device is a Coconut scraper. My grandmother used to have one.
In the reverse coloring book, I am wondering what the blank pages (next to each coloUred page) are for.
actually knew about the camera lens mug because i saw it when i was a child, maybe in tv or something
Coconut grinder
still used today on Saipan and Microneisa
I guessed a juicer or similar gadget when I first saw it. Awesome!
Now we need to figure out how to clean the juicer. Love your videos.
Getting your biome uptake.
Doe the coconut crak slowly expand a hole pushed into a coconut shell, avoiding the need for a hammer in the kitchen? I always wondered how people who used them a lot raw dealt with the hard shells routinely.
Yes it's definitely a coconut de-flesher! I've often seen them on cookery programs.
Looks like it would be good at scooping out passionfruit shells🤔🇦🇺👍
"oh, a thermos"
"*Vacuum flask*"
Ohkay
I think the wings on the gulls hook over the edge of your glass.
Oo! Well spotted!
Please go back and update this video and show yourself using the coconut scraper on a coconut.
Thanks !
I had that lens mug!
I saw on The Repair Shop someone made a coconut scraper (the first one) themselves
I loved the lemon juicer!
I was going to say, it's a coconut grater, but many beat me to it, LOL!
It's for the inside im guessing not the husk?
@@timothyweber671 Yes.
I saw coconut scraper like these at the open markets in Brazil 40 years ago .
the handle thingy is an old lemonade maker? lemon/orange juicer
My first thought of the first mechanism was either a cheese or soap grater. However, the bottom-line is, any mechanism is whatever the end user uses it for independent of the inventor's intent.
It’s a coconut scraper!
The TH-cam channel called Sorted had a modern version with an identical head of your what's it & it is for cutting the flesh out of coconuts.
There are two types of coconut scrapers. Handcranked and sit on bench model. First item showed is handcranked one.
