- I will restore this antique Ice Cream Maker made by Frost King and make ice cream with it. The machine is very rusty and the wood parts need some restoring.
I removed the rust with laser cleaner loaned to me by W2M laser. If you're interested in the devices this is their page: w2m.fi/en/ If If you contact them let them know where you found them.

He's so talented I wonder if he can fix my marriage
It’ll probably be more effective than placebo.
There are some things that even he cant fix
@@BlizzardTycoon haha
He would need a lot of isopropyl alcohol.
💀💀
This man went through great lengths for Ice Cream, and I respect that.
there is nothing too great for ice cream.
He needed that frozen treat that can't be beat.
He went through all that, but still ended up using his freezer 😂
Man literally restored a machine and used it to make ice cream when he could have walked/drove to a nearby store and buy a tub. Respect
He just wants a fresh ice cream sandwich
i bet the people who made all of these things would be very happy to know that their creations are being handled and repaired with such care, even having new parts be created by hand so they can return to their purpose. what a lovely thing!
Yes
I don't think they'd care. They're dead. They would be more concerned about what fate awaits them in the afterlife.
there's something so beautiful about you restoring and using these old things. a hundred years ago, someone spent hours or days designing and building this. a hundred years ago, someone made ice cream with this. they may be dead, their names and personalities and stories lost to time, but you're now using their creations and tools to make ice cream - just like them. you're bonding with them over a shared love and life and - I'm probably explaining this poorly, but the point stands. this is beautiful and I love the fact that you restore things and give them new lives, alongside those who made and used them long ago.
This is exactly what i feel while watching these kind of videos but i couldn't express in words
Bridging the past to the present, “I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!”
He not only fixed the ice cream machine , he also taught us how to make ice cream
Except he forgot to add salt to the ice.
@@Jarock316its ok without the salt
Salt helps it freeze quicker, keeps the ice from melting so quick and make the ice cream hard.
@@sylviajackson9863 Salt can reduce freezing point of ice. Making ice stay solid much longer
And it actually makes a chemical reaction which DRASTICALLY lowers the temp of just the regular salt. Without the salt, it’s near impossible to get ice cream the correct viscosity
My grandmother had a Frost King ice cream maker, smaller than this one. She only used it when the grandkids were over, so we could turn the crank. I made a lot of ice cream in that for her. You forgot to add the rock salt to the ice. That would have made your consistency correct. My only concern is if the solder you used to repair the holes in the tub is food stuff safe and will not leach into the cream. Beautiful restoration, as always!
This is what I thought. It was missing salt so that the ice melts and we get ice water, and would make sure that the tub would have been cooled from all sides all the time.
I sure hope that the solder was lead-free silver or bismuth-tin.
I was wondering the same thing! Plus, the actual churn barrel had that spray paint exposure... IDK... Then again, wasn't there a risk of lead exposure in most things around this age?
@@CloudStrifeEX I thought salt made it super cold, and made the ice _harder_ to melt...?
@@dysonsphere75 what i know of is tin lead solder is considered the strongest type so maybe he used that but very unlikely
The wire bending tool alone deserved its own video!
its on his 2nd channel oddexperiments
The duck lapped it up! Beautiful job on the restore, such patience! I'm 82 and we had one in the 40's. Didn't have a hand drill (clever idea, btw) and boy, the whole family, including 7 year old me, took turns on the handle. Thanks for the precious memories.
Pro tip for ice making - in the bucket use 50% salted water and 50% ice. Salted Waterr has lower freezing point than regular water, so You'll achieve better results.
Came to say this.
You beat me to it lol.
We always sprinkled rock salt over the ice as we went along, pretty much the same result.
Same thought, where is the salt?:)
Okay you can also use ethanol and dry ice
Between my family and my dad's siblings we owned 4 Frost Kings. At family get-togethers during the summer (my birthday is July 4th) we would make a run to the local icehouse for 50# bags of crushed ice & get all 4 of those makers going. Usually vanilla, strawberry and peach, using fresh fruit for the flavors. The kids would crank till they thought their arms would fall off and then the dads would take over and finish the job. Wonderful memories of a time long gone!
❤👌
If dad didn't finish the job like a champ then say that all dads have to taste whatever first to make sure it's ready/safe, did he even dad
The times not gone yet! My family still brings out a couple of these every summer for the neighborhood kids to try their hand at, and it's exactly the same as you describe it. A lot of fond memories for everyone
Out of curiosity, when are those times? I've never seen this kind of ice cream maker, my guess would be the 70s-80s?
@@1997thanos Yep! 50's through early 80's. They motorized some in the early 70's but the hand cranked made better ice cream.
14:17 he’s doing a serious and dangerous job, and still has time for laughs and giggles! I appreciate it man. Keep up the great work! 😊😊
I often watch these videos to get to sleep, they're so cathartic and soothing, but imagine my surprise when merely 6 minutes into my zen I'm viscerally slammed back into reality as this fine gentleman casually whips out the LASER to simply tidy up a churn. This is the content I come to the internet for.
The future is terrifying, but hey, lasers work wonders on rust removal.
I know it's a joke, but the idea that someone would actually restore an ice cream maker instead of going to the store and buying some when they run out is absolutely absurd, and I love it.
And lame like how everyone doing more effort just to avoid doing something. They end up more tired but satisfied in some ways lol
They still sell old style ice cream machines.
That's not absurd, that's based
Not absurd at all! Actually, it costs much less, tastes better (in the opinions of many) and many people derive a measure of satisfaction from the process of creating it. The fact that these machines are still sold bears that out. I'd much rather spend time outside on the patio with my extended family than sit inside watching TV or with everyone's noses buried in their electronic devices. You may disagree & that's fine.
Congratulations!! You have made this significantly less funny! 🎉🎉
You know his restoration videos look legit with how the rusted metal just crumbles away the moment he removes a screw or fixture. I love seeing his work
Yup. Most of the times it's fabricated rust with some of the "cashgrab" channels.
Also the fact that he just outright admits that some parts absolutely cannot be fixed, such as the screws, so he makes new parts to fix the unsalvageable ones.
I thought I was the only one seeing that! With the rusted desert eagle and the rusted knife and all manner of bullshit...
EDIT
What I like about this channel is that he doesn't use an angle grinder to remove the rust. Granted I'm kinda getting bored with the lasers and sci-fy stuff but it's still better than the grinder.
ALL of his videos are legit! My favorites are the console and electronics restorations.
@@ItsLadyJadey nice! I love Rescue and Restore, but I’ve seen just about it all his videos and wanted to find another channel with a similar style that does restorations. Love that he makes it about the restorations and process and not himself!
Hands down one of the best creators on TH-cam. 11/10 quality, every time.
th-cam.com/video/NgVJQM06YQw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=tTekd3FVex3U-5Yy
Got my stress blasted off like the rust. This is so relaxing to watch, thank you for making it.
I love the fact that you just built a metal bending tool by yourself, it's like your character was doing a side-quest.
this is insane!
He turned in the 50 wolf pelts to the orc shaman and got the special metal he needed to craft the tool.
How about also making his own lable ice cream container. I wonder how long that took, thing looks like it is store bought ice cream.
guy is playing life on ironman mode
He can metal bend?
Toph teached him?
Yep, I'm old enough, too, to have used this as a kid. It was my grandparents ice cream machine. And, yes, we'd add some rock salt to the ice which would produce water and reduce the freezing point, and make it easier to rotate the bucket. It was still hard work for a kid, though, and our arms would fall off before we ever made ice cream. Such memories, and thanks for helping to recall them.
Did you also still need to freeze the ice cream after making it? What kind of flavours did your family enjoy making?
It's so nice, reading about how families used to do things :)
I think my mother also had one as a kid, because I vaguely remember her talking about adding the rock salt to ice. I wish I had had one of these, because making ice cream at home is just the coolest thing. Nobody today seems to care about that type of an at-home convenience.
@@bubblegumplastic I did the same thing once when I was a kid and no, we didn't need to freeze it before eating, the consistency was just like store bought.
Growing up my grandfolks had an electric version of this (electric motor instead of crank, basically Odd's drill). We always used rock salt, and it was always a fruit based flavor. Peach was a favorite.
The Duktor would never think of using "Rock Salt"! Instead, he would use *_Chunky Halite!_* or perhaps even *_"Cobblestoned Sodium Chloride"_* ... 🥶
I have binged your entire channel like 1,5 years ago and then didn't watch much of it. Came back today and watched this masterpiece. It's amazing how much your channel grew, how much the production value increased and how much better you became at... everything, really.
Looking forward to watch more.
Omg same!!
Man went on and restored an antique ice cream maker for just ice cream when he couldve bought ice cream and he also did show us how to make ice cream so give this man a medal for his work
We need this guy to fix McDonald's ice-cream machine.
Ain't nobody able to fix those pieces of junk apparently...
If does he will charge a lot money because getting tools and material with effort and time.
@@TheEvilGreebo Used to work there. The ice cream mix leaks out of every connector in the machine and turns into a knuckle of solid mold around said connector.
Please, maybe once it’s fixed they’ll be able to give us enough cuantity of ice cream, enough to cover the high price
When the Ice Cream Machine is “broken” it is actually just cleaning itself
Odd & ducktor's brand had me dying, lol. The fact that he even designed an ice cream Ben & Jerry's kindalike cup is amazing! That guy is incredible!
Holy shit, I literally thought that was just a Ben & Jerry's cup. You're very observant
Restoring an antique ice cream maker is the first thing I want to do when craving ice cream as well
This dude is actually a genius! He's so good at everything.
this has to be one of my favorite videos from this channel in a while. The editing, the camera work, the small bits of humor here and there, it’s really all here in this one. Every video is enjoyable, but I can see you put so much into this one
I thought everyone would know that one of the most important things to add when you make ice cream is salt to melt the ice. The melted water with ice and salt becomes colder than the ice alone. Also, the mixture should be cold to start with when you try to freeze the mixture. The ice cream I made always tasted much better than what you could buy, and it was frozen when you scooped it out of the can. Mine was always a custard style of ice cream.
to be more accurate, is the air that become colder, not the water. In order for the salt to melt the ice, heat is absorbed from the air, making the air temperature to fall down in order for the water to heaten and become liquid again
You are both wrong. Salt doesn’t change the temperature of anything. It changes the freezing point of water. Meaning, you can have liquidy ice that is the same temperature as solid ice. It makes the ice cream harden up more because of the surface contact it has on the vessel while churning.
@@einarschwentke7813 it takes energy to make the phase transition between solid and liquid. So when you change the melting temperature, this cool down will happen faster. if you add salt to -2C ice the resulting brine will be colder.
@@tristomand But ultimately it is the surface contact of the brine on the vessel that causes the transfer of temperature and creates ice crystals in the cream.
@@einarschwentke7813 It is an important factor, but the temperature definitely changes.
10:45 - the forbidden vanilla milkshake
Fantastic build, don't forget to put salt with the ice to make it get colder quicker
The duck in the pocket and the chemistry set to make ice cream cracked me up! This entire video and restoration is perfection.
Noticed the Mandalorian helmet? For extra protection in case something goes kaboom!
I hope the duck was cleaned since the last bout of electrolysis.
It quacked me up too
Excellent as always, my only gripe would be putting the staves back together around the base. Usually those would be sealed with a meal paste to keep the bottoms water tight. Just one of the lost arts of coopering. Everything else was immaculate as always
Not 100% sure but I believe they also yused to make the rings slightly too small then heat them before slipping them on to pull the wood taught after the metal cools
@@Wookie92Gaming perhaps some but not always necessary even in white cooperage
Ice, water and salt makes a slurry that brings down the cream mixture that starts the freezing process and proper granulation texture. Every carpentry and metalwork step you took was wonderful to follow. Masterful.
I like that you cover a wide variety of items not just electronics.
this man is so good at fixing things, he could even restore my faith in humanity
You are human too stupid
😂
Man that laser cleaning machine is sick!
Laser cleaners are amazing to watch, love all videos of them in action. :)
But did it remove all the rust?
@@se6369 Only the rusty part, some unwanted particles still left on it.
The final touch with the self-made ice cream can was perfect ❤
I love everything about this video, his precision, perfection, creativity, innovation, and sense of humor 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Loved the Diglett cameo lol
29:22 "solid water"
Only my grandpa would put this much love into a restoration project, mad respect to you.
We had some big ice cream machines that my dad rigged up to a trailer with a hit and miss motor. The motor would crank the machines and then we would finish them by hand. Best ice cream I’ve ever had.
Next time, add rock salt to the ice. It makes it colder longer and helps it freeze faster
*next day from original comment*
My grandpa did a lot of wood work and crapentry. He's also remembered by his homemade ice cream, from the ice cream machine. I had a beautiful dream after watching this video about my grandpa and his shop, and homemade ice cream parties. Thank you for taking me back to my childhood and the nostalgia of my grandfather.
Your grandfather was a great carpenter /Inventor
@regularguy4504 thank you. He had incredible talent for aure
Excellent. You can tell the difference between a "guy with a workshop" and an "expert" because the expert designs and builds his own tools/gadgets when required, as you did here. Well done.
(Also, Amazon doesn't appear to sell solid water. I will keep looking)
You're better off going to your local supermarket or gas station for solid water. I hear it degrades if kept in "unfavorable" conditions for too long.
@@Chaos89P Thanks. I shall continue my quest. It’s probably a supply chain issue. 😳
An expert would never use vice scripts and hammers as they're two main tools
@@MrShaun1011and they would probably use a wooden mallet on wood....not a metal hammer.
Compliments to the chef! Loved every aspect of this video, to include quality ducky.
My man began his restoration with a goal and a story. A true master of his craft 💖
This used so many different tools and techniques. What a culmination of years of experience. Great work!
that cut to stirring the ice cream with a drill was hilarious
When we made ice cream using our old Frost King, the ice was all the way on top if the cylinder, and we added rock salt because it makes the ice " colder". Job well done. I love the lasar!
We had one that looked just like that one when I was a little girl, 65 years ago. May be the very one! Was used every Sunday for every kind of ice cream. My favorite was peach.
Can you please do a video on how you find these objects to restore, and also a video of previous items and what's happened to them e.g sold, still using etc.
Love the videos
you can find them at any flea market
Check yard sales, thrift stores, junk yards, recycling centers, Craigslist, etc. You can also check eBay but the prices are usually pretty high.
@@j.l.emerson592 I think she means the details on the particular items he has done... at least that's my interpretation.
@@karencox3235 I don't think so. People if they want something in particular they clarify and the answers here are pretty correct.
your efforts to restore the state of every detail does not deny the end result is beautiful. The patch demo proves you don't want to disappoint your critical audience and it's pretty awesome. What a great job.
Diglett's appearance did not go unnoticed. Well played xD
Odd Tinkering is a man of extreme focus. He will take it apart and make it literally brand new. Superb work sir.
This restoration is going to be sweet!
And cool!
And it was a solid cold one.
Ba-dum-tiss
I like how put "Solid Water" instead of Ice
I said this too💀
It's 2 am and I'm watching a man restore an ice cream machine when I'm supposed to be studying for a test tomorrow.
15:08 thank you dude i love brazil 💚🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷❤❤❤
HU3 HU3
Respect this man waited 100 years to do this video for us 💯
this was my go-to channel to watch when i had in school suspension and when i had out of school suspension
Love the ice cream inspector.
that laser rust removal still looks like something straight out of star trek to me.
You are in your own master class of repair. Your endless knowledge and abilities absolutely amaze me. Just how you edit your videos and make it impossible to look away is amazing in itself. This is what a real life super hero looks like to me.
Thank you for the content, I always get excited when you post a new video.
I get the feeling he may be graduate from building mechanic university.
This video brings back wonderful memories of cranking my Papaw’s ice cream machine in the 60s.
You need to add salt to the ice to get solid ice cream. Rock salt was traditionally used. Don't know if table salt could be used.
I need to take a look at my grandmother's bucket.
Nice restoration.
you needed to put salt with the ice and more ice to make it colder but nice restoration.
I thought that he did this in 1 day I was impressed every time but then he showed his watch and I realized he’s doing this in a multiple day timeframe but even still it’s impressive how good he is at what he does (keep up the good work)
U actually thought all this took a day
There are some talented people in this world it’s not impossible I can’t name anyone but humans are very talented
Why is your profile picture a Nazi flag? 🤨
Homemade ice cream just hits on a different level 🤤🤤 especially right after its made
I'm older so I remember cranking the handle as a kid in the 1960's. My WWII US Army Dad liked Black Walnut flavor. You need to put a couple inches of ice, then some rock salt repeating this layering to the top of ice cream container. It makes the ice colder and the ice cream sets up harder. Thanks for ghr memories. 🇺🇸👍
man ur so careful and delicate i could never. ur so skilled ur years of experience rlly shows
❤👌
parabéns, lindo trabalho....
15:13 this flag Brazilian....🇧🇷
Eu pensei exatamente a mesma coisa e vim procurar se alguém já tinha falado sobre KKKKKKKK
@@Mangaliza Dois kkk, eu já tava "isso é uma fodendo Brasil referência?"
Opa que a glra teve a msm ideia kkkkkkk
@@b_l4ck quatro
Nossa eu pensei o mesmo e vim aqui nso comentários pra ver se alguem tinha percebido kkk
The materials have changed but the method is still the same. Gotta love it.
Homemade and churned ice cream. You get the right recipe, ice and know how much salt to put on it so it creates a colder environment and hand churn to get the feeling of how far the cream has frozen and you have a special treat. Making it is an art and muscle building.
That Drill part instead of rolling to rotate ice makes things easier. 🤣🤣
my mans brought out the drill to churn the ice cream
Modern problems require modern solutions lol. Great vid!
That diglett reference was awesome 😂
The smell of WD40 reminds me so much of my dad and brings back great memories. I miss him so much it hurts. Rip dad can't wait to see you again.
I like the brief pause after some of the panels fell down randomly. I do the same thing.
I ate ice cream made in this machine in 1966 or 1967 when my father and his friends made ice cream at a picnic party.
Fantastic work thanks for this video.
We had one of these when I was a kid and we made peach ice cream every summer. My dad would pack the entire area around the cylinder with ice and then pour rock salt on it so the ice would melt. There was a hole in the wooden barrel near the base where the melted ice drained. The ice cream straight out of the canister was amazing! However, the remainder that was put in the freezer came out literally rock solid…still tasty, but you either had to chip off pieces of it to eat or exercise an enormous amount of patience to let it soften. (This was back in the uncivilized pre-microwave days.) Great childhood memories. 😊
As a child I have a very vivid early memory when I was about two years old and that we made homemade peach ice cream in the backyard at my uncles house.
All the kids/my cousins got a chance to turn the ice cream churn. I remember being too little and one of my uncles had to put their hand over mine. I can still see the grown men helping us and adding rock salt and ice.
Back then this would’ve been something that the men in the family would be supervising while the women were getting the rest of the picnic cleaned up and put into Tupperware storage.
To this day I have never had peach ice cream ever again that tasted so good!! I remember wanting more but it was all gone…so my memory of this one little scoop for a toddler. I have been on a forever hunt for excellent homemade peach ice cream to this very day….. this was over 50 years ago now. Miss those times and how we had our family gatherings almost every weekend. No one does that anymore sadly. The churn was very much like this vintage ice cream maker. It’s summer and I have a hankering again for the peach ice cream of my youth and to have all my family back again if even for a day.
You should try making ice cream in that again, but when you put the ice in, do it in layers and sprinkle salt in between this layers and on the top. Keep turning the cream with that around it and you’ll find your cream will freeze more completely and be a lot softer.
Nice restoration, and I do love some good old fashioned ice cream! Havent used a hand crank ice cream maker since I was a kid. :)
Few comments:
1) Hope nothing was toxic in that solder, since it is coming in contact with your mixture.
2) I've never seen the inner tub painted in any ice cream maker before, probably because it inhibits heat/cold transfer between the ice and the mixture.
3) Rock salt will help speed things up, vs just using ice alone.
Well the original metal joining might already not have been food safe, but the unknown composition solder makes it all the more dubious.
if it's lead free and pure tin solder it should be food safe
And did he get a little paint on the inside while spraying too?
I've just watched this for the second time; still as fascinating 😮. Excellent!
I'm glad I came across this How To Make Ice Cream Tutorial. Gonna make some now
Thank you for saving this ice cream maker. I have spent many happy hours around one . My memories are from a small child to a woman in my seventies. Thank you 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀👍🏼👍🏼🛐
I literally have one of these exact ice cream machines sitting in storage, waiting for me to fix up ... Especially those rusty metal bands ...
THANK YOU for showing me exactly what I need to do!!!
... Although I apparently do need to get a rubber duck to fix it properly 😑
That was sweet to watch greatness 😌🙏💜💫🪶 thank you
I love these kinds of viddeos, where you can just zone out and relax, not thinking about anything and just turning your brain off.
Did you use lead-based solder? If so, I'm not sure that's the best choice for something in contact with food.
The Odd & Ducktor's Chocolate Fudge Brownie tub SERIOUSLY needs to be real.
Yes
I watched this video and i noticed when you poured the epoxy paint the can says: 2-komponenttinen epoksipohjamaali. Finally someone who is from same country that i am and restores anything basically
That came out beautiful
I would wax the inside of the wood barrel, then also add salt to the ice to freeze the ice cream more. That's a super neat piece!
I hope you used lead free solder on the drum nice way to fix it great job on the resurrection of the old ice cream maker. Brought back memories of when my GM made ice cream
I was thinking the same thing but then I realized that he probably used the newer type of solder that plumbers use which is lead free. Great restoration though.
That tool you fabricated is awesome... I'm going to build myself one right now
Love it homemade is always better and spending time with family is what it’s all about and is what that machine created was a fun and delicious time with the fam!
14:21 DIGLETT!!
I am old enough to remember a hand cranked ice cream machine. Nothing better than home made ice cream.
Pro Tip: Add salt to the ice, and it lasts long and get colder.
youre missing all the fun from waiting for the ice cream! it was something special to have after a cook out and having someone crank the ice cream maker until it was finished💜
Hello!! This video is unforgettable for my live. Thanks!! Good bless you!!
Not sure if you’ll see this, but something I learned from working on vehicles with my dad was to use oil to get stuff unstuck. If you put oil on the immobile object and use heat from a propane torch it will suck the oil down in the crack and force the bond to break
