Giant Grain Crusher Restoration - I Found a Bronze Coin Inside from 1949!

- In this video, I will restore an antique grain crusher forgotten by people and time. The grain crusher was extraordinarily rusty and quite challenging to restore. There was not even 1 inch untouched by rust, and a cast iron wheel was broken in two pieces. This old tool was probably produced in Poland. I bought it from a flea market for 25$. I found a bronze-pierced coin used to fix the handle during restoration. The currency is Polish as well. You can read the Republic of Poland 1949. This discovery was astonishing and unexpected, and I learned more about this beautiful antique grain crusher. I love this object, and when I saw it for the first time, I knew it would make a great restoration video and deserve to be restored and preserved. I'm personally satisfied with how it turned out. The restoration process went well, especially the thin cast iron wheel welding. It was like a trip back in time using this old grain crusher. If you enjoyed the video and my work, please don't forget to subscribe to not miss my new restoration projects.
Cheers! Johnny

*Hi Folks! This time I chose to restore this beautiful massive grain crusher. It was great to work on it and that bronze coin was like the cherry on top of the cake! I hope you will enjoy the video and if you do, please CRUSH the like button for my work and the algorithm! Cheers!*
Thank you for editing the welding flash. I wish more restorers also cared about their viewers' eyesight.
I also didn't realize before that can be disturbing for the viewers, but I rewatched one of my older videos and I did not like that part, so from now on, I will mask it. Thank you for watching! Cheers!
You know what? You're right, covering the welding flash IS worth a thumbs up! (Watching restauration videos help me fall asleep, so blinding lights are usually disruptive.)
Awesome job restoring the grain crusher. It looks much better and it works like a charm as well. Excellent work.
Thank you, George! Have a great weekend!
Well done! Very cool keeping the coin in place!
Thank you! The coin makes this antique much more interesting. It is like an ID card 🙂
...lookin' good, nice work, keep well...
Thank you Bob! 🙂
😻😻😻 beautiful. I love the color. Glad you kept the coin in its spot. So cool 😎. I can’t weld. Didn’t know you could weld cast iron. I used JB weld epoxy to fix my antique sewing machine that got broken during shipping across the pond. So awesome that you are giving new life to cool antiques ❤
Thank you Tena! 🙂
That was amazing, enjoyed watching this xxx
Thank you for watching my videos Debbie! 🙂
Good job!
Tolle Arbeit 👍👍
Danke! 😀
Hi! Wonderful job! Wowee! Yes, you got the old man fixed up, working, and looking like a champ at the end. I so enjoyed watching this one. Oh, heck, I say that after *everything* you restore. I got the feelings, though, that this one means just a little bit more to you than the others you've done. 😶 I know you get such a satisfying feeling about bringing something once so useful and utilitarian back to life.❤ Lovely, lovely. Have a great week end, please be well, and thanks again for entertaining us with this super restoration. Blessings...
Thank you for being here Kyletta! You are right about my feelings. I guess I get emotional after the coin discovery. I was thinking how life was here right after the war.
@@rustyshadesrestoration ---- Awwww, yes. I know how you feel. We try to keep the teachings and experiences tucked way back in our hearts so we can live again, but then, sometimes, something (like the coin) will trigger feelings, memories and touches us in that special place. I send you empathy, for I have so much, that I have loads to give to you. ❤🩹
Awesome job I really like your work keep it coming👍👍
Thank you, Garry! I appreciate that!
I have watched many of this kind videos but honestly this one was more perfect and in detail
I'm happy to know that you enjoyed this video! Have a great weekend 😀
Great job as always 👏 I really enjoy watching your restoration, one of the best! Cheers 😁

Thank you Maria! 🙂
Good///
За все время видел только два изделия по такому принципу работы лежит подобие для перца, да еще давилка для орехов, А так хочется на кухне по тихому без шума и пыли. К сожалению нет фото.
Very cool 👍
I'm glad you like this one too! Cheers!
Fun.. starts with saying "not an inch of rust" Then unscrews an inch and a half...of no rust. LOL
Haha, I was talking about what I was seeing at that moment on the exterior 🤣
Przepiękne jest ten cały zabytkowy młynek odrestaurowany pozdrawiam twórcę tego filmiku serdecznie 👍👍👍👍👍
Dziękuję! Pozdrawiam 🙂
I watched that far and I already subscribed. Another great job by you
Thank you Bob! 🙂 I appreciate that you are always here! Have a great weekend 😀
Ciekawa maszyna, ale jakość wykonania, szczególnie odlewów, nadzwyczaj podła. Musiała to być jakaś wojenna produkcja, albo zaraz po. Dobrze że nie przedobrzyłeś z restauracją starając się wszystko maksymalnie wygładzić i wypolerować.
Супер! 👏👏👏
Damn, who was the mad Polish walnut that decided to use a coin as a washed half a century ago?
I guess that was his only option right after the war. His decision made me smile and I was happy to know something more about this grain mill.
Great Work Bro:
Well done.
I wish you more success❤☺
Thank you so much! I wish the same for you too! Cheers!
@@rustyshadesrestoration thanks bro ☺❤❤
Super tare 👍👍👍👍🍯
Trabalho excelente. Bravo!!!!👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷
Obrigado!!!
Cast Iron welded? How strong and durable is the joint? I have doubts on its functioning.
Yes, you can weld cast iron, but it isn't that easy, and to be durable, you need a special NiFe stick. As well needs preheating and getting cold slowly.
There is a guy on TH-cam that welded a cast iron pan handle and tested it with a heavy load. You'll be surprised how many kg it can support.
Thank you for the "Thumbs Up dot" to save my sight👍
I know it won't blind me but I sometimes have a problem watching that white light👁
That's true, can be disturbing. I realize this after watching one of my previous videos and from now, I will always hide it.
Your name isn't Jimmy by the way is it? Just wondering. Nice refurbishing... Thumbs Up!
Thank you 🙂 No, my name isn't Jimmy.
ooo & pop corn is harder thanwheat or rye too...very nice
Yes, that was a tough test! 💪 I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 🙂
I know nothing about powder painting but is it normal for the gun to spew such a large amount of powder from the bottom half of the nozzle? It just dumped it without ever touching the intended pieces.
Edit: NM, it looks like you fixed it or it fixed itself. lol The first few blasts were powder-dumping-tastic!
красивый глаз
Thank you!
Можно бурбон делать :)
Good idea! 💡
Can broken cast iron be put back together 1:34 ?
Never mind i got my answer at 3:14. But wouldn’t welding and adding a different metal change the thermal conductivity of the piece???(just asking cause i was curious, no judging)
Hi. Cast iron can be repaired by welding or brazing. For welding, like I did, both pieces need to be heated to 300+ degrees Celsius and then welded with a special rod, Ferro-Nickel.
U dziadków też znalazłem podobnie zdeformowane monety. Prawdopodobnie służyły to przytwierdzenia maszynki do mięsa
Spoko! 😃
What kind of paint is that?
The green is Powder coating paint RAL6003. I hope I answered your question.
I've always wondered. why wet sand? what does it do? 🤔
Hi Clare! It is used in order to get a smoother finish after applying the second coat of paint.
Masz może tokarkę?
Tak, mam.
@@rustyshadesrestoration pytam, bo niektóre zużyte części mógłbyś poprawiać na tokarce
Left it better than you found it! I lub it! Good work human! (Dont know your gender and wouldnt want to offend)
Thank you! 🙂
🙏🤗👍🇻🇪
Did you know that Jimmy cracked corn. Ahhh I don't care.
Hahaha 😁
MUY BUENO USTED
Gracias!

Is that grind for chicken feed? 🐓
Yes, I think that was used in a farmhouse.
@@rustyshadesrestoration You did a beautiful job with it.
I live in an old farmhouse. When my dad bought this place in 1967 there was an old chicken coop in the backyard. I was a kid, I used to haul all kinds of relics out of that shed. I don't know whatever happened to them all.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great restoration
Nice memories! Thank you, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Have a good one!

Where was the coin? 😂
Never mind 😂 pressed play again and you showed it immediately after that 😂
It was serving as a washer on the crank. Later in the video, you will see. It goes back to where it was.
Haha! Alright! Enjoy watching!
0:23 you not an inch with out rust, you lied
I was talking about the exterior at that point 😅 So I didn't!
@@rustyshadesrestoration lol I know I'm such a d@#$k.😄
@@rustyshadesrestoration I should edit that comment I think I had to much to drink, ehh but I won't all in good fun
😅
Don't worry! Happy New Year! Cheers!
You need to improve on your skills. Please watch restorations by Mymechanics.
Hi! I know that I have to improve many things, but please stop making a comparison between people. My mechanics have done this for years, and I just started, and skills are not coming by night; we are getting skilled in time with a lot of practice. If you want to compare something, check my first video and the last 2-3, and you will surely see progress. More than that, every restorer has their style of filming and doing things, and honestly, I want to have my style instead of being a my mechanics wannabe. Cheers!
Very nice good job beautful
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice job! Awesome how you welded the casted iron😃👍
Thank you! That was a challenge, welding cast iron is a challenge all the time 😀
