I was recently asked to restore an 1880 Clockwork coffee roaster and I was thrilled to take on the project. This object has been stored for 45 years in the cupboard they were too embarrassed to bring it out because of its condition , during my research, I couldn't find any information about the Savage company or this particular coffee roaster. I've concluded that it must be a rare and unique piece.
If you know anything about this leave a comment
The reaction to the restoration I have done for them for free,

@@richardrestorations Can you buy raw coffee beans in the UK?
@@nixxonnor Yes. You'll need to find a specialty shop or an online supplier. But that said, the city I live in has many sources for unroasted beans.
I was home on leave years ago from the ROK. When I returned, I had 2 kilos ( 4 pounds) of ground coffee. I got it from across the river in Mexico, good, strong brew. The CO loved it.
From The British Trades Directory, 1915: under the heading 'Coffee Mill Makers", Savage & Co. 28 Love lane, Eastcheap EC: works, 8, 9 & 10 Hardwidge St., Snow's Fields SE. EC and SE were postal districts in London. I cannot find any other references with a simple search - the usual method is to investigate the same book title published in different years, but it seems that they haven't all been digitised yet.
A most enjoyable video - thanks!
Thanks for your feed back cheers Richard 😀the owner found in a English cookbook dated 1886 mentioning a windup coffee roster
love this one. I really enjoyed your talk at CPS the other week, and I'm enjoying your channel, Restoration videos are my ASMR before bed, I'm so glad to have found a local channel.
Thanks a lot Adrianne and glad you enjoyed! Thanks again for these kind words 👍👍👍

Wow, thank you!

I appreciate your comment and enthusiasm! It's always great to find simple solutions that don't rely on technology. Kerosene and freshly roasted coffee definitely make for a unique experience.

Thanks a lot @clarencetrice4442 and glad you enjoyed!
Excellent work! One sees plenty of coffee grinders, but never anything like this.
Thanks a lot Nineteen AndFortyOne and glad you enjoyed!
Great respect for the use of the Moka. And also great work in putting the roaster at good use again. Loved it.
thanks Danilo Pia for the encouragement😀
I went on Google and typed in "Savage of London Coffee Roaster". It appears the company is still in business.
He must've used Bing, despite using you tube.
i looked at that I think that was registered in 1987 there has been a few Savage company's i didn't find any before 1970
@@richardrestorations you think they had internet at those days?
@@HanDekker🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@HanDekker no but they had company registrations.
Great to see you make it. It looks real good after renovation. 😍😍
Thanks a lot MASI and glad you enjoyed! Thanks again for these kind words 👍👍👍

Beautifully done 🤗

Finally!! Someone who knows how to put a spring back in a case!! None of that winding it and holding it and putting a zip strap on it to hold it in size to try and put it in.. great job!
thanks @frogjunk for the encouragement😀
You are great man. You did a great job, thank you

Well done! Such a beautiful piece of history!❤❤❤
Thank you! I'm just trying to bring history to life, one video at a time.
Outstanding stupendous Excellent terrific job you did with that coffee roaster and stay safe and well.
thanks Gregory Talber 😀
I believe that having one of these at that time was very pleasurable!!!! ❤❤❤ Amazing!!!
Thank you for taking the time to watch my video and leave a comment. It means a lot to me!
To begin with: Excellent and marvellous job on the restoration process, sir! I never knew that these types of coffee bean roaster even existed. Your passion and patience truly paid off, the roaster now has a new lease on life thanks to you!
What a jewel of true craftsmanship this simple yet ingenious machine is! Back in the days, appliances were honorably well-built and designed to last forever. Modern appliances are fitted with multiple points of failure which take destructive action once the two-year warranty ends.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled that you enjoyed the restoration process and discovered something new. It's amazing to see how craftsmanship from the past still holds up today.
I love the durability of old machines 😊
thanks for watching😀
Amazing restoration !!!
Glad you like it!
Incredible,Amazing work Sir. Thank You and CHEERS
Thank you! Cheers!
Google Books has "The British Trade Journal - Volume 35 - Page 178" "A small gas coffee roaster, to roast 1/2 lb. of coffee at one operation, is included in Messrs. Savage's exhibit. This is driven by strong clockwork, and is suitable for roasting samples, or for domestic use."
Thanks for your feed back that's the closes I have seen about the coffee roster pity no pictures cheers Richard 😀
Beautiful Restoration

I've never seen such a thing but it's beautiful! I'll bet it smelled good as it roasted.

Excellent restoration. This is coming from a 65 year old man who
never developed a taste for coffee. Although I love to smell it brewing.
thanks for the encouragement😀
Nice work 👍
thanks for watching😀 i see your subs are growing 👍
@@richardrestorations I see yours are also
growing very quickly 👍 I really liked the wooden handle duplication on the lathe by the way. I hope I get my next one finished by next weekend. I can't keep up anymore
good job!

thanks for watching😀
Looks delicious
Thank you 😋
Size that up it would make a pretty interesting popcorn maker...
Thanks for your feed back cheers Richard 😀
Nice job and this roaster can to serve up again.
thanks for watching😀
Lovely! I used to restore antique horsedrawn carriages and frequently found information related to manufacturers doing searches on Google Books. I found snippets of information on the Savage Company in trade journals there, one items was from 1926. There is address info, etc. The last restoration was a gorgeous little buggy that I found a maker name on the axles. I found city directories, etc. on Google Books that allowed me to date the construction of the running gear within 10 years by tracing company history and name changes. I love following your restorations, thank you for sharing!
I really appreciate your kind words and support! It's great to know that my restorations resonate with fellow enthusiasts like you. Thank you for following along!
Amazing bro 👏😁👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much 😀
I had to subscribe to your channel !! I love your work I have watched about 6 of your videos and finally decided to comment ....excellent work and you have a lovely home in the video of the Coal Shuttle!!
Awesome! Thank you! I do a lot of restorations for free for museums and that was a living museum where you can visit and buy scones and cakes made in the coal range and cups of tea😀

That Moca Pot needs very fine ground and full to the top. And you made a lite roast. Needs dark. Very cool roaster.

A good watchmaker's job ⏰😉 Good for something small from the grill 🐿🤪
thanks for the encouragement😀
You may have a one of a kind piece there. As i have been searching for close to 3 hours and have not found a single scrap of evidence that this piece ever existed let alone the companys name. But this turned out wonderful just the same. I remember working at a coffee house and roasting the coffee beans i could smell the beans roasting now.
Hi Charlmlane thanks for looking , i lost count of the hours looking myself .I did find mention of it in a English cookbook from the 1880s of a wind-up coffee roaster in London
Super.
Thank you! Cheers!
old things take time and wear away slowly why they last longer than modern cheap china thin wall stuff
this was A great coffee resto
thanks for watching😀
What a beautiful piece. Definitely has its place in the museum. Well done 👏
thanks Little Restorers for coming back😀
Thanks!
Thank you Richard you're the first one to give me a super thanks in two years😍
@@richardrestorationsI would love to add a link to your Savage makeover. Would that be OK with you. You have given me a roadmap to rebuild my Savage.
I’m wondering if you could give me info on where you got your brass nuts. I would like to do the same for mine
I think I liked the original wooden handles better. The rich, red color can never be replaced. Great job, I love coffee!
Thank you so much! I appreciate your feedback and I'm glad to hear that you love coffee too!
*_If every all of us would bring his old things to the restorator, our mother earth would still be in good health_*
_Your work is very impressive, Sir!_

Wow, thank you😀
What an outcome. From start to finish completely great work . Savage of london sell coffee. Belive they have are still about
Thanks for your feed back cheers Richard 😀
Here we are in the 2020s, trying to invent a better fusion reactor. But the gentleman sees a thing that turns and is amazed!
thanks for watching😀
Wonderful job. Some 35 odd minutes went by in a breeze, and definitely NOT the same as "watching paint dry"! For reference: 23:45 😇
Nowadays most people buy their coffee today already roasted and ground to suit their needs. Not that I am complaining - it is convenient - but perhaps the old ways were better.
I bet that coffee tastes amazing! ☕
Thanks a lot Geo and glad you enjoyed! Thanks again for these kind words 👍👍👍
This had me going and making a double espresso!😂
thanks for watching😀hope your coffee was good
It was pretty cool when you lit that thing up like a menorah bong.
thanks for watching😀
I agree with your choice of finish. Not glossy.
Thank you! I'm glad you agree with my choice of finish. It's always great to have someone who appreciates the same aesthetic.
Nice restoration! Nice to see a kiwi channel!!
Thank you, It means a lot to me that you enjoyed the restoration. Keep watching for more!😀
Nice :)
Thank you! Cheers!
Clever "engine"😮. This is first time i saw that kind of coffee roster. A beautiful restoration Regards Stig Österberg from Dalsbruk in Finland.
Thanks a lot Stig Österberg and glad you enjoyed! Thanks again for these kind words 👍👍👍
Hi Richard I was amazed at thecage of the clockwork coffee maker, you had lots of work to do to take it apart it looked very fiddly. When you put it back together it looked magnificent and unique. Richard you are very talented and clever at everything you do to restore the items you get. Did the coffee taste nice? Amanda xx
Thanks a lot Amanda Tallis and glad you enjoyed! Thanks again for these kind words 👍👍👍
I believe the roaster is from an Australian coffee shop. The Australians used to have coffee clubs similar to a pub, but with coffee instead of beer in the 1880's and 90's.
Thanks for your feed back cheers Richard 😀
Beautiful job Richard Thank You. Sir why the jumper lead on the parts when you were spray painting.
Thanks for your feedback, I was using powder coat not paint cheers Richard 😀
Wow, first time I've ever seen one of these! Seems to be very pleasantly overbuilt, amazing that the clockworks were still functioning after all that time.
thanks for the encouragement😀
huh, was poking around and found an early 1800s roaster that looked a little like the one you restored here. the company was out of Austria. but nothing with the word "London" closest i could find to that (other than England) was in North Carolina. but i think the company there is very new.
Very interesting ! Looks like a Rolex movement ! 😂
Thanks for your feed back cheers Richard 😀
Must be the 1880s version of the Fondue Pot. Use a couple of times, and shove in the back of the cupboard for the great grand kids to puzzle over..
thanks for watching😀
Savage could be a family name, especially since it has a crest on it as well. There’s an entire website dedicated to the Savage family lineage. Maybe it was once in a wealthy Savage’s kitchen! Maybe even at Rocksavage!
thanks for looking ,have done a lot of searches on the web and not found anything concrete
