Today's renovation will be about a subject that I had no idea what it was for 2 years, I asked different people, but no one even knew. When I posted the photos on Facebook, I was in a hurry to find the identity of this subject. Friends began to write various designs, but it wasn't until Vladimír Zolin came up with a picture of a similar device and information that it was a press for gluing soles and everything started to make sense. So I wrote a question to the shoe museum, where they confirmed it to me :) And the renovation could begin :) Thank you Vladimír :)

I am almost 70 years old, yet find myself with the excitement of a small child watching your video's. Thank you!
Yes, it is a sole press for crepe (gum shoe) soles. My dad operated one as well as the edge trimmer that followed next in the assembly line. It was a great place to work. Quiet machinery, the smell of leather, and a fresh breeze blowing across the one floor factory. I worked beside him summer of '69.
Thank you for your story :) Radek
Hi, @born2soon . QUESTION: What are gum shoes?
@@Headroom23 If I remember correctly, it was a term for rubber soles shoes. The term came up in the old literature, calling priavet detectives as "gum shoes" because rubber soles were more quiet. I hope this helps.
@@TheParkAttendant Yes. Thank you for the lesson.
How did it work?
My father-in-law was a shoe repair man, and while I did not recognize this device, I was almost certain it was a sole press just from the shape of it. You do a great job restoring all the different types of things. Thank you for sharing.
We are pleased Sherry, thank you for watching.
My Father worked 65 years in shoe repair, starting back in the 1940's. I guessed right away what the item was used for, but then I am probably much older than most people.
Thanks for the information Bill :) Radek
@Stinky McFrazzlepants Thank you for your story :) Radek
I did too! But only Bc I have watched a ton of different shoe repair vids-there’s just something so satisfying & relaxing about seeing something repaired/restored & brought back to life after so much love/abuse & wear. Plus, the general shape of it is very “shoe-like” to me, anyway.. so, even if I hadn’t recognized it for other reasons, (for me) that would’ve given it away. Lol 😊
Me too 😁😁1-5-34
A beautiful technical solution to the problem of uniform distribution of force over the area using a liquid.
Great job.
Wow, thanks Angrej :) Radek
Wow! Never in a million years would i have guessed & I’m 65 and worked in a shoe repair shop in 1977 in Northern California! Cool! 🥾🥾🥾
Thanks :)
Yes it was a simple shoe machine used by the shoe maker to press the sole of the shoes, I am a shoe maker last 30 years ago in marikina the shoe capital city in the philipine
Very cool!!! I’ve seen the modern version of this, so seeing a vintage version is a real treat!!!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much Samatha :) Radek
That belongs on permanent show! What a wonderful restoration!
Thanks :)
I know exactly what it is. It's a doohickey. But not just any doohickey, it's a cast iron adjustable doohickey. A rare find.
Yes it is kin to the thing-ama-jig, & close to a whatca-ma-callit.
Also close friends with the gewgaw.
Of the same tool family of the tesseractus and the menosualle.
It's not a doohickey. It is a thingie.
A doohickey from Brno. Great that you don't tell us what is for. The whole idea is making a huge mess in the kitchen, while degreasing the darn thing.
Amazing tool and a great look into history....beautiful restoration my friend...best wishes, be well, and a big hug for little Mona.
Thank you so much my friend :) Radek
What I love the most about what you do, is that not only restore the function but you make it beautiful again.
Thank you so much Pamela :) Radek
Impressive restoration!! I worked in a shoe factory way back when I was 19 years old. As soon as I saw the shape of the a foot on the pressing area I knew what it was. In fact I operated a machine that did the exact same thing.
Great! Thanks Jeff :) Radek
What was it for. I don't understand why the bottom needs to be stretchy if it was just to clamp and glue the sole together. Is it not to shape the leather?
But it does have a thicker rubber that wouldn't stretch as much,was it because so it could fit different shoes that may have a different curve to the sole?
@@holohulolo I think you may be right with the idea that it’s to fit different shaped or sized soles. In a factory the bottoms are usually set up for a specific type of shoe. Excellent observation! They wouldn’t have had any kind of foam to put underneath the press. I was wondering what that water was for as well! That might be it.
there are other sizes of this tool.This is one of the kit
Well that was an excellent way to get me to watch to the very end. I avoided reading comments.
Great, thanks Charles :) Radek
Well done 👍. I always look forward to seeing your restorations. Keep safe and big hugs to your sweet dog 🐕 xxx

I typically don't watch many restoration videos but when I saw you clean those acme threads with a wire brush before trying to move the handle, i knew you were worth subscribing to. That device was nicely restored. I just subscribed so I can see more of your videos when they come out.
Wow, thank you, I appreciate that Robert :) Radek
I have been watching a lot of Cobbler video's lately and I would never have picked that as a cobblers press. What an amazing item. As a woodworker I was very impressed with the base you made. All together it was an amazing restoration.
Thank you so much Dave :) Radek
My husband used to manage a shoe repair shop, so I recognized it instantly. But I DO have to say that the water kinda threw me. I've never seen one that was WATER filled before.
What dedication to bringing items back to life....great job!
Thanks
A superb restoration!!
Thanks James :) Radek
that water in there could have been over a hundred years old! Bet it had a nice smell.... Awesome as usual...
Possible. but strangely, the water did not smell. (if it was water?)
Something for making shoes. Not sure beyond that. Beautiful restoration!
Shoes for what? A damn space walk
@@jeremyhall309 did you watch the whole video?
Great job, what was the log on the table with eggs....looked delicious!
I’ve said it before, I just love these weird things you present to us. So exciting to see something different 😃 And the result is always stunning.👏🏼
I'm glad, thank you . Radek
Yea!!!! I guessed right! I has no idea what it was, but because of the curvature and the fact that what ever it was used for was meant to not mar the object, I thought something for shoes. Very nice. Excellent job as always.
Thank you :) Radek
Your talent never ceases to amaze me. Thank you for you great work.
Wow, thank you very much Jacquelynn, I'm delighted :) Radek

Fantastic result. Amazing job as always Radek. Take care 😃👍🏼
Thanks David :) Radek
Good morning dear friend. This tool is a real museum piece. I admit that I had no idea what it could be until the end. When you took off the leather membrane I saw the shape it reminded me of a shoe, but that's it. It was only at the end that I finally understood what it was. This is why I said that it is a real museum piece because nowadays hardly anyone repairs their shoes. As always you have done more on the details. You removed the metal burrs left at the factory, covered the small holes etc ... Even a brand new one was not as sparkling as it came out of your hands. Now we can say that it is a beautiful piece with its little red line and the gilding on the letters. In addition, you have designed this elegant wooden plinth. You have all my admiration for your work. Véronica's small dishes seem delicious I wish you a good day and take good care of yourself.

Thank you so much Gabriel for your beautiful words. Thanks to you I have a nice day :) Radek and Veronica

Muchas gracias Graciala :) Radek
I know what it does, what it is, but not what it is called. Great job!
Great restoration !! Better than new and I love the dark green so fitting !! I assume the water is there to make a solid but flexible surface for the sole of the shoe or boot to conform to so the sole didn't dry in a flat or completely straight position. I love it wonderful job !! 👍👍
Yes exactly Robert, thank you for watching :) Radek
Another painstaking restoration, with the expected fantastic results! Even if you had not been able to identify its use, it would have been a project worthy of your talents.
Thank you for your beautiful words George :) Radek

Yea I guessed it might be something to do with shoes. You still make things look better than when they are first made GREAT WORK
Thank you :) Radek
I did think it was a mold of some sort, but not that it was for shoes. Very interesting!

Outstanding restoration and the presentation with detail of your mastery (self taught you say?) only complements the video editing.
Hat tip.
I expected to see your wife using that in the kitchen 🤣 Thanks for another relaxing and informative video!

One of the most interesting videos ever. I didn't pick what it was until the end. Great restoration job.
Thanks Stewart :) Radek
Would never had guessed what that was.Whatched the whole video until the end and didn’t look at the comments so not to spoil the surprise.

Beautiful work on the shoe device. Can one imagine making this today 2023?
Thank you for the compliment. I have a feeling that various smaller shoemaking and repair shops still use these similar tools today.
Cool. I'd have never guessed in a hundred years
thanks for the upload.
Thanks for watching :)
Привет Вероника, привет Радек) как ваши дела? Как настроение?) на самом деле в ваших видео часто до последнего не понимаешь, что за вещь вы реставрируете, а в этом случае, так подавно) Благодарю за интересное видео)

Thank you so much Sherrie :) Radek
So that is why everyone thinks old stuff was made better then the new!! lol great job!
Thanks
That item had no sole until it was refurbished
I thought it had something to do with a shoe but I didn’t know what. Beautiful restoration. You are an artist
Thank you so much :) Radek
Thought so, beautiful restoration!
Thank you Mickey :) Radek
Reminds me of the old 1970's TV show The Liars Club. Someone would bring an unusual obscure object on stage, place it before the 3 person celebrity panel and then each celebrity would take turns explaining what the object is and how it was used. Only one of the 3 crazy stories would be correct.
Yes, I know him. There was a similar show in my country, it was instructive. Have a nice day Rob. Radek
Awesome as ever Radek, now to watch your wife’s videos xx❤️
Thank you so much Sue :) Radek
The project was awesome. And knowing what the devise was used for made my day. Cause history was and still is my most favorite subject.
I'm glad Reuben, thank you :) Radek
absolutely gorgeous restoral! well done
Thank you so much Michael :)
I knew what it was, I have three in my drawer right now
Someone has already identified the machine as a shoe sole maker
@Camden Kaleb yea, no one cares.
Well,how cool was that! I never would have guessed it was for shoe repair. You do a fantastic restoration. Thank you for sharing with us.
I thank you Diann :)
As someone who makes bespoke shoes, this tool is priceless! Evenly pressing soles is challenging with multiple curves on the sole without the more commonly used hydraulic bellows style press usually used-too expensive a piece of equipment for a small hand maker. I so want this!
Thank you so much :)
I didn’t knew about that. Very nice result!👍🏻congrats 🍻

OK, you had me watching till the end!!! I couldn't for the life of me figure out what it was for. Then I saw the shoe in the last couple of frames. Great resto!!!
Thank you Steve for enduring it until the end :) Radek
what is the water for ? nice restoration.
I think it's to equalize the pressure but I'm really not sure. This is the first time I ever seen one of those.
@Vulpes I was also wondering if it could have been fed with steam pressure (the plug complicates this theory), also providing heat to cure the glue? But I have no boot maker knowledge, and those who do may know if it was just filled with water.
@Vulpes Yeah, that's what i thought. Maybe for not as rigid shoes?
You are tricking me into clicking the like button by putting up excellent videos of your work...lol Thank you.
Thanks William :)) Radek
Lovely, thanks for posting this.
I thank you :)
Very cool machine....awesome restoration!
Thank you :)
I'm gonna second whoever else said that this was powered by steam. The heat from the steam would set the glue applied to the sole of the shoe. This is why there was water and oil in it.
Looks like a sole making press for shoes or boots.
Amanzing restoration!! 👏
Thanks :)
During the whole video, I could not imagine what the apparatus was meant for. But now it makes complete sense, very ingenious. Thanks fir sharing Radek!
Thank you Harko :) Radek
Interesting, I made a shoe repair like that at one time but for a weight I put the shoe on the driveway and parked the car on top of it for the night.
Oh, and important note, my foot was not inside of the shoe!
Lol, thanks Tisha :) Radek
4:55 pour a couple shots of that - I bet it has aged to perfection
So that's how it's done!!!
I've been watching videos on how to make your own shoes, and I haven't been able to find anything to show how the soles were glued on so well. There were plenty that had stitched soles, but I wanted to know how to do these as well.
Someone will want that thing!!!
I knew it was a press of some sort, but did not think it was for shoes. Very nice restoration.
Thanks :)
No clue but it's interesting.
nicest one I've ever seen.
It's for pressing leather soles for shoemaking.
For future reference, you can always go to reddit with this kind of questions. There's a subreddit called r/whatisthisthing where people solve these mysteries every day :D
Or the time honored approach on the internet. Make a purposefully false claim, and you'll be sure to get corrected by dozens immediately.

Does the “Brno” stand for the city of Brno?
ano je to tak
Ne vole Olomouc :-)
It's known as "Shoe Press". I know that because my mum was a friend of a cobbler "shoemaker" like a hobby. As soon as the video started, I knew. I'm sorry you didn't know. However, I can also say that this was done in Italy from the name on the top, because it would have a stamp called 'PAT. PEND" on it, if they were made in the United States, so no one else would copy. Many products have been stamped or shaped with this on them by the name of a manufacturer on the other side. It was CAST IRON and it was sand cast, like a lot of products on that day. I'd give up the polyester car charger and just paint it. The way thanks you to post this to us to see and enjoy the wonderful perfect renovation page era tool from a much simpler time. Below is a translation so that you can understand a little easier. I don't know if your from a Slavick nation or other from one of the Eastern Block European countries.
To je znano kot "Shoe Press". To mi je znano, ker je bila moja mama prijateljica kobbler "čevljar" kot hobi. Takoj, ko se je video začel, sem vedel. Žal mi je, da nisi vedel. Lahko pa povem tudi, da je bilo to narejeno v Italiji iz imena na vrhu, saj bi to imelo žig "PAT. PEND" na njem, če bi bili narejeni v ZDA, tako da nihče drug ne bi kopiral. Veliko izdelkov je bilo ožigosanih ali oblikovanih s tem na njih z imenom izdelovalca na drugi strani. To je bilo CAST IRON in je bil pesek lito, kot veliko izdelkov v tistem dnevu. Odpovedal bi se polnilcu poliestrskega avta in ga preprosto prebarval. EIther pot hvala vam za objavo to za nas, da vidite in

Она известна как "Shoe Press". Я знаю это, потому что моя мама была подругой сапожника, как хобби. Как только началось видео, я знал. Прости, что не знал. Однако, я могу также сказать, что это было сделано в Италии от имени сверху, потому что она будет иметь печать под названием 'PAT. PEND" на нем, если бы они были сделаны в Соединенных Штатах, так что больше никто бы не скопировал. Многие изделия были маркированы или сформированы с этим на них именем производителя с другой стороны. Это был CAST IRON и это был песчаный литье, как и много продуктов в тот день. Я бы отказался от зарядного устройства для полиэстера и просто

Great job. And you proved that it works!
Thank you Silke :) Radek
I dont get why theres liquid inside it.
I have same wonder
I am still confused about the liquid. Don't get it. Nice job though.
The liquid is there to provide an even pressure to the whole sole of the shoe. If it was a hard surface, some of the glue would not be in compression. The water therefore provides under compression, a full area of equal pressure over the whole sole, not just one part of it at the point of contact. The wooden insert opposes the area, thus evening the pressure throughout.
