I wish I had had this when I was a kid. Our parents or older relatives would make wood boards with rows of fence staples, not all the way in, so that we would slide the ear of corn along the board and get one side in one move. Others would cut dry cobs and make a round sort of “sheaf” tightened with wire, and same idea; they would slide the ear of corn along the cob tool. Memories.
Yeah great for the kids, they loved it at this year's pioneer days in our area, so I bought one of these corn shellers in the flee market, so now the kids want to see if this corn sheller will work, we have to wait until I get a decent box for this operation 😀, I'm excited as they are, can't wait for them to shell some corn like their great grandparents did and explain why they had to do what they did
l have rubbed blisters on my hands shelling corn like your daughter is doing at the start of your video. The sheller is a better way to do it. Thank you for sharing.
My granddad had a bigger one that I used to shell corn with. It was about 4ft high and had a 2ft diameter heavy wheel that had a handle on it to crank it with. Pretty easy once the wheel was up and turning , and you could fill a 5 gallon bucket pretty fast. The cows/horses picked up their ears when the sheller was running. ;)
Right !!! I did that in mexico the old fashion way they tie up like 100 of the dried cobs then use it sort of like a grinder but you have to rub vigorously with your hands now thats rough you hit your fingers on the cob roll and it hurts like a bitch!!!
Seriously. I'm seldom one to judge but I've been looking for a sheller because they seem like a super quick alternative to shelling by hand. Admittedly I only have a small crop with just me and my girlfriend, but still.
I've used quite a few of the older, made in America, shellers like this. I find it works better if you put the ear in pointed end first. Just my observation.
I got one identical on ebay except it was all red, no green. But the wood handle was in a plastic bag with two of the cast iron mounting parts, and I noticed some of the red had come off the cast iron and was on the wood handle. I don't think powder coat rubs off like that. We then rubbed white paper on those parts and the red transfered to the paper. It only did it with the parts that were in the plastic bag, (perhaps keeping it moist?) I'm just wondering if the thing was spray painted, not powder coated? Is it even safe for use with corn intended for human consumption?
We used to make these here in America, a long time ago. We own two old ones which have been restored, but these Chinese knock offs are about the same and probably cheaper and easier for most folks. We had to use electrolysis to remove rust, paint them, and replace the rotten wooden handle on one as well. Ebay is chock full of old rusty ones.
thanks for posting! would it make sense to you to train yourselves to put the small end of the ear in first? I think the teeth will grab faster that way, and productivity will go up. also, if your youngest is shown how to position herself, so she is cranking toward and away from herself, instead of her arm going left-right in a circle. See what I mean?
I still have the one we used when I was a growing up but here is the link you asked about. //www.amazon.com/Maximizer-Sheller-Green-Manual-Thresher/dp/B00ATGII4K
My grandfather used one of these for years to feed all his animals. He grew his own corn n used every part of the corn for feed. God Bless

I have one but i wish it had the nubber for doing the ends of the cob too.
if storing for long term food would the dried bits of husk need to be sorted out first?

You can easily build this up to a bit so there is no waste. Although I'm certain what falls out you feed to other things, like he birds and whatnot.
Since I smoke a couple of them from time to time, do you ever use it to help you make corn cob pipes?

Does it work with the thinner popcorn you were doing by hand earlier? I noticed you switched to fatter field corn when you demoed the machine.
yes, fatter makes it turn little harder but thinner does work too, sometimes it miss a few at the narrow tops
