If you left behind something, its not gonna transform something bigger and better and greater, but get dust, rust, and it'll totally destroy one day.

    Tip from a modeler: after wetting the surface, holding the decal in place while you slide the paper out from underneath will give you fewer air bubbles. It's also easier to align without risking breakage :)

      Sarcasm noted. Actually, for its time, intended purpose and cost, this was a fairly well designed and executed piece. However, to compare the tooling and economies of scale of an early-1900s manufacturing operation dedicated to producing an inexpensive household grinder, to the efforts of a hobby-machinist who restored and tweaked just one of these grinders, especially with the benefit of current-day machine tools, also, where time was of no obvious concern, seems a little ... well, dumb. Sorry.
      The well-done restoration and accompanying video doesn't serve to call any country's manufacturing legacy into question; nor, obviously, was it meant to do so.
