1905's Cheese Wire Slicer - Restoration
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ก.ย. 2022
- In this restoration video I restored an antique butter or cheese slicer from around the year 1905.
More about the slicer :
this item was used in commercial purpose. It was usually used in shops for the exact purchase of slices of butter-cheese or in luxury hotels where pats of butter were served in the morning at breakfast. You can cut one pound of butter into pats for individual servings. The butter or cheese lies in the top and is pushed to the left into the wires while you turn the handle. Another part is located on the same axis as the handle and has a well-stretched wire attached. As soon as the butter is pushed through the rotation of the handle, by the same motion, that wire will cut the butter.
The slicer is made from aluminum, steel, brass and cast iron (a pleasure to restore ). The base part has attached a clamp that hold the slicer to the table. After I bought this gem I didn't really find much information about the year of production. I asked some subscribers from the country of origin of the slicer, USA , and they found me information that it was produced somewhere around the year 1905. I hope I am not wrong and mislead people, but how I saw this slicer was made, I tend to think that this is the year of production.
More about the restoration :
After inspecting the slicer I thought it would be an easy restoration but
during disassembly, I noticed that the 2 parts that make up the gearbox of this slicer , were cracked. They were made of aluminum or antimony. I couldn't figure it out exactly. I inspected these 2 parts and I realized that I can't talk about a restoration here. Making new parts like that was essential as soon as I couldn't find spare parts to buy . After I finished the disassembly, I decided to take care of this gearbox because if I hadn't been able to do them, the whole restoration process would have stopped. So I made the plans and I made new parts on lathe and milling machine from an aluminum block. After that , one part had some markings and numbers which I had to transfer to the new part. So I made some auxiliary tools and marked the new part with those 12 markings, after which I punched the numbers on the side of the new part. The same part I talked about also had the company name engraved and needed to engrave the new part using a CNC machine . After days of works I finished these 2 parts and the whole restoration process can continue further. Next I sandblasted the parts , powder coating them. Also , in my restoration videos I try to restore the items like original condition. This slicer was zinc plated mostly but I found slicer like this one painted in many ways and I choose one way : the base and the top black with cream ivory the other parts. At the end of restoration I'm very glad that I took this decision and the item looks amazing. Although it was difficult, the restoration went very well. In addition to everything I mentioned above, I also made some parts that were missing, on the lathe and I nickel-plated some of them.
The wooden handle was on the list of restoration. For a couple of minutes I thought to make new one but after I sanded the wood, stained with walnut stain and applied some antique wax , the final outcome was awesome.
In conclusion, you have what to see in this restoration. And the slicer has been restored in a good way, keeping the vintage look but at the same time looking amazing. Doing the test after the restoration, I noticed that it works perfectly and I'm proud of this work, probably my best restoration video I ever made.
I hope you will enjoy the restoration and will be a pleasure video to watch...cheers ! David .

The fact that you not only remade the broken pieces, but put all the original lettering onto them (when most people wouldn't have bothered) elevates you to a whole other level of restoration skill and dedication.
Thank you very much mate 😊
Oh no, that machine deserves all of the work put into it
Iv never seen any pro who is restoring something NOT do this. Without letter its value is much less in most cases.
I know right, like he could’ve rebranded it after his channel
Came here to say this! I love it when people try their best to make the end result look like the original product, even when some parts had to be replaced and remade from scratch.
I like to imagine the original inventor beaming with pride when you restored those discs. You did an incredible job 👏 👏 👏
Thank you very much and glad you liked it 😊
Es casi mágico! Enhorabuena 👏
if u like to imagine it then u totally should imagine it!
Yeah, he would be beaming with pride from a better place now.
hes long dead lmao
I am extremely impressed not only with his work but a man made CNC machine??? Dude props to you man.
Thank you very much man 😊
as opposed to an organic CNC machine lolol… i understood your meaning though.
I mean all CNC machine are man made, unless I'm unaware of alien labor. Jokes aside still pretty impressive for a home made, some 3D printers just dies when get nudged
@@markzaikov456 ahhhhhhh home made, that’s the word I was looking for, lol.

This has become my new favorite machining channel! Awesome job, love your new tools.
Yeah. He's good 👌
My mechanics when are you releasing new video?
At one point I thought he was in your shop😁
@@mamoLs next week 😁👍
Thanks my friend ! Looking forward for your videos too. I already know it is awesome 🤩
The thickness control you milled from aluminium is a thing of beauty. I actually clapped when I saw the result. Superb work. Thank you...and well done, sir!
Thank you very much Julie 😊
35 years of being a machinist I still pause and take a look at nicely machined parts, they are always a thing of beauty.
Thanks a lot mate 😊 cheers
I don't think I can say something that hasn't been said yet. Your attention to every tiny little detail is amazing. I am in awe of your skills. Absolutely LOVE your videos.
Thank you so much 🤗
Best restoration channel ever.
Thank you very much 😊
I never thought I’d have spent 25 minutes of my time watching a cheese slicer being restored... I did it and and I loved it! Great job!
Thank you very much Paolo and glad you liked it so much 😊cheers
WAIT THAT WAS 25 MINUTES??? Would you look at that. This channels certainly entertaining!
Thanks Xirion 😊
Wow! What a restoration. Being able to reproduce those parts from scratch is amazing. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Matthew and glad you liked it 😊

I love this part, because he’s not only restoring it….. he’s making it better then when it originally left the factory it was made in. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you very much Gail 😊 glad you enjoyed
You sir, are an absolute perfectionist in all the right ways. As a retired engineer/machinist I can appreciate the work you put into each of your projects. You have earned yourself another subscriber.
Thank you very much Roger and glad you enjoyed 😊 cheers and stay safe
A superb restoration! It never ceases to amaze me how complex some antique food processing gadgets are. This cutter is obviously commercial, otherwise why is it built to be repaired down to the smallest part??? You took this restoration to the next level. 👍
Thank you very much and glad you liked it so much 😊
I love seeing this stuff restored, it brings more realism to what homes and kitchens used to look like instead of thinking that the objects look closer to the unrestored version always, but it look more modern than we would think
It's always so cool seeing how complex these seemingly simple pieces of machinery are, and how nice they look once restored and remade. Props to you for this content and keep up the good work!
Thank you very much mate and glad you liked it so much 😊
I like the fact that there is no music while you work from the old parts looks gross but when you make new parts they are cool and satisfying to watch ❤❤❤ 8:03 😊
Thanks and glad you liked it 😊
@@CoolAgainRestoration your welcome most more videos plz I love to watch your videos
This weekend will be a new video 😎
@@CoolAgainRestoration I also subscribed your channel:)
@@CoolAgainRestoration k I will watch it :)
In all honesty, when I first started watching the video I was questioning changing the original designs of the parts or doing any unnecessary modification like cleaning up the original casting because in theory it takes away from the history of the piece. The thing is though, you just can’t argue with those results and I’ve come around. :) This is far beyond a simple restoration or preservation, I’m in awe of this wonderful work - you have a new subscriber here.
Thank you very much mate 😊 I really appreciate
Ditto.
For me, this is a reconstruction and not a restoration, the object has lost all information about how it was made. It is now the projection of the rebuilder's aesthetic: the wood must be stained (to look old?), the metal must be shiny (to look new?), the castings must be smooth (to look like they were made by plastic injection?). Now it looks like a new retro tool.
@@ighmur Agree, He completely went beyond a restoration. When you can't tell the difference between an original or a brand new made from scratch one, you've have failed !
M
Love the "beyond new" that you push your builds to! Taking old things and making them better than they were when brand new is AWESOME! Great job!
Thank you very much mate 😊
Perfection at it's best. What can you say when a resteration comes out so beautiful that you may not want to even use it.
Your work sir is beyond anything we have ever watched. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The amount of work and dedication to go the extra level of adding the original details of the original pieces made me respect you so much more! Amazing work!
Thank you very much for these beautiful words. You are a kind person . Thanks again 😊
The fact that you are taking time to not only restore that beautiful piece of machinery but also respond to every single comment just assures me why I am subscribed! Splendid job Sir!
Thanks a lot sir ! I try my best 😊
Man, as an airplane technician, I really appreciate your attention to detail and your level of skill is absolutely amazing. I don't think the average person fully understands the dedication this requires.
As a human this video is cool
Thank you very much guys 😊 I really appreciate this support ! Cheers !
The average person is too a stoopid to undastand. 🤡
TF do airplanes gotta do with this
@@marijuanamastiff obviously you don't understand the level of detail it requires to be an airplane tech.
This is unbelievable. This is beyond restoration. I’m completely blown away.
Thank you very much 😊
There were many many points where i would give up but he removed micro level defects which i would've accepted as anyway.
I guess you could say that he.... Made it cool again😎
@@racingheart92 Yes, I find this very striking. The original manufacturers weren't trying to do a work of art, they just wanted to make something that did the job and stood up to use - for instance they didn't bother to remove casting marks, and nobody asked them to - but this guy does! It's more like an apotheosis than a restoration.
@@gerardvila4685 i also salute the original creator/s too but also this person is taking it to asthetic level.
The HOMEMADE CNC machine is what got me on this video. Extremely high quality, and great way of making use of your entire workshop.
Thanks a lot and glad you liked it so much 😊
Big respect for showing dedication to your craft by making your own tools for the job!
Thanks and glad you enjoyed 😊
Впечатлен максимально. Такое внимание к деталям! Поразительно. Сделал девайс чтоб сделать насечки. Выбил цифры. Подобрал шрифт. Высокое качество сьемки, свет, станки - стружка все это завораживает. Я далек от подобных работ, но оторвать взгляд невозможно. Успехов вам и новых таких же восхитительных работ!
Thank you very much Peo 😊 glad you liked it
I stumbled on this video but I'm glad I did. The passion and attention to detail you show when restoring things is inspiring. You're breathing new life into something when most people have given up. Kudos to you sir!
Thanks Denzel and glad you liked it so much 😊
I can watch these anymore sadly. I heard another youtuber say that 90% of these videous are apearently fake
I know it's stupid but seeing people like you who can seemingly work magic out of pure passion and skill is what both awes me and also makes me proud to be human, please keep up the great work brother!
Thank you very much Mihyun 😊 glad you liked it so much
I love cheese and restorations, perfect!
Thanks and glad you like it 😊
I’m most impressed by your replication of the outer thickness gauge lettering. Great restoration. really stunning.
Thanks and glad you liked it 😊
I was genuinely so impressed with reproduction of those cracked parts. Great work!
Thanks and glad you liked it Lewis 😊
would not aluminum be too soft to be a functional long term replacement for those parts if device was put back in to use
No! First of all, it was aluminum before and for 100 years was worked I saw, and the second point, I don’t think anyone would use this slicer again. Now it is for display..maybe a restaurant or hotel will buy this for display
@@CoolAgainRestoration forgive my ignorance, could it not have been possible to weld those pieces back? Also, brilliant restoration, every detail was amazing and an absolute delight to watch.
لأول مرة أشاهد مقطع بشكل كامل دون أن أفوت لحظة واحدة !
كل الشكر لصاحب القناة على المجهود الرائع والجميل ❤
The time it takes and the fabulous job you do and the custom tools being made ain’t no telling what something like this costs.
Absolute legend! Always amazed at your work, especially making the new dials for the thickness settings. Great job as usual!
Thank you very much and I really appreciate 😊
There are restorations, there are refurbishments and then there is this, a perfect combination of both with a shed load of talent thrown in. Brilliant vision and outcome.
Thanks and glad you liked it so much 😊 take care of you
He ends the video by cutting the cheese. Class act right there!
You are a MASTER!!! I love that you made your own CNC machine. I truly wish I had those abilities!!! 10/10
Thanks a lot and glad you enjoyed so much ! Cheers !
My daughter and I watch restoration videos for night time story all the time. We both were amazed at your process. Especially your nickel plating. Thank you for sharing this with us! 😀
Thanks Kyle and glad you liked it so much 😊 cheers
Dude you went next level on this cheese slicer. Remaking and marking the setting knob, the cleaning, the paint job....all excellent. Thank you sir!
Thanks and glad you liked it 😊
I'm so impressed by your ability to make new parts, the know-how to make tools and layout everything perfectly is just wow
Thanks a lot and glad you enjoyed 😊
On every restoration I can only think of 3 words within the first 3 seconds, shine, shine and more shine but what you deliver is bling, bling and more bling, in fact Mr T would wear your restorations with pride.
Glad you liked it, Hasan 😊
ONE OF THE MOST SATISFYING VIDEOS EVER. First time viewer. This randomly popped up on my feed, I've never heard of you before. This hits me right on so many levels. I was married to a machinist for years.. the precision of your work is just beautiful. The finished product is pure art. From a home-cookiing standpoint, nothing slices better than wire. Wishing someone could make me a hand-held version that's got that old-style elegance & simplicity, AND lasts a long time.. I wonder what I'd pay for that? Lastly, this is what I've been looking for in an ASMR channel. Longer sustained sounds, plenty of variety, no distracting tapping or clucking whispers. So now I'm going to replay and listen to this with my eyes closed. New Subscriber.
Thank you very much for these nice words and glad you became my subscriber. You are kind , thanks again 😊
I hope you will like the video and don't forget to subscribe !!! cheers, David ! if you have any question please comment here and I will reply to all like always did 👍
Thx for video
Glad you liked it
You, sir, have much talent. I'm impressed. Great restoration....
The most amazing restoration work that I’ve ever seen! And I’ve seen hundreds. I can’t imagine his investments in equipment and his skills to use it all are fantastic!
Thank you very much Doug 😊
That was so amazing that I had to share it with my subscribers. Really awesome job my friend. Just impressive. And all the creativity while problem solving was inspiring!
Thanks buddy! I wait your next project 😎
@@CoolAgainRestoration its online know. Looking forward to your feedback
I do not know if this channel is inspired by “my mechanics”, but what I do know is that your videos are just a joy to watch: No annoying background music, excellent workmanship, you can learn a few things by watching it… Well, you just earned yourself another subscriber!
Thank you very much man ! My mechanics is my friend but I don’t want to be like him. Everyone is different in style but I can admire that I like to make new things on lathe. Maybe that’s why people make this comparison with him.
@@CoolAgainRestoration - I just think that there are just correct ways of doing things (just nobody puts a sock into a shoe and then slips into the whole thing, but puts socks on first and then slips into the shoe), and thus, there are simply certain things a restauration-channel does. And from a non-fake channel (yes, sadly they are out there) I can learn a lot about how things are built. I'm tempted to tell you to keep up the good work, but I guess you would anyway. Greetings from Vienna!
I have watched 50+ of these restoration videos but this is really one of the most meticulous and well done jobs I have seen. Great job, very impressive.
Thank you very much Nesen ! I really appreciate 😊
Как прекрасны все приборы, которые вы возвращаете к жизни! Они само совершенство! С какой любовью они изготовлены! А Ваше мастерство реставратора вызывает восторг и восхищение!
Dude that stamping jig is GENIUS. You’re truly talented!
It’s the only way to keep the part fixed. Thanks and glad you liked it 😊
The two new dials what so great ❤❤😊😊 Thank You!!!
Thanks Ivy and glad you enjoyed 😊
Well done. Especially with the mark and number re-stamping. Very happy about the advent of the restoration video. I have seen a great deal of skill and creative work-a-rounds from folks all over the world.....and they are letting you in on tricks of the trade. Most people do not appreciate skill unless it comes with a ball, a bat, a goal-line, and a net. Thank goodness for the makers and the re-makers! Cheers.
Thanks and glad you liked it so much 😊
One of the things that I admire about the folks like you and the restorations that you achieve, is the way that you take early industrial assembly line objects and make the refinements that ought to have been done and would have been done if these were made by hand individually. You literally make them better than new while still keeping them the way they were when they were newly made.
I'm convinced that some of these restorations will last another 100 years or more the way you repair and refine these objects.
Thank you very much Alex and glad you liked it so much 😊 cheers
I think that this is the most meticulous and complete restoration video I’ve ever watched! You are incredible!
Thanks Jerod and glad to hear that 😊
Magnificent restoration 😊
Thank you very much Andrew 😊
工業製品を直すだけでなく唯一無二の逸品に仕上げる様は見ていて気持ちの良いものです。
Thank you very much Milinage 😊
I love those channels which restore things to extreme excellence. Especially by polishing and chrome plating parts. In this video recreating the broken part was awesome. Good job man. 👏🏽
Thank you very much man 😊
With every restoration you have always gone over and beyond.this piece here I believe has put you into another category.intricate by far gorgeous piece,but in the long run it cuts cheese,that’s it.attention to detail is bar none.kudos to you sir.great video.keep doing what your doing and carry on 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Thank you very much Tom and thanks for this kind feedback 😊 cheers and stay safe
Far beyond a simple restoration! When you ae finished the device is far nicer then when the machine was new!
Thank you very much memikell 😊
This is one of the best restorations I've watched! I particularly likes the matching of the broken parts, with the stamping of the numbers etc.
Thanks a lot Michael and glad you enjoyed 😊
When I first saw the piece to be refurbished, I thought eh, may be boring, but I’ll watch it a bit. May I say this turned out to be one of my all time favorite refurbishing jobs! Your talent with the new pieces was truly great to watch and appreciate. I like your choices for all the colors and metal finishes to bring forth the beauty of the materials involved. The final result is functional, beautiful and would be a joy to posses and use. Thanks for this video and your insightful rendering.
Thanks Scott and glad you liked it so much! You are so kind writing this message . Thanks again 😊
I can't believe how beautiful it is after restoration, and it really works too!
Thanks again 😊
You’re so thorough. Great work
I'd never seen such a device before. Great job bringing it back to life!
I'm also quite impressed by your homemade tools, very clever. 👍
Thanks Joshua and glad you liked it 😊
I love your dedication. No part is overlooked and everything looks amazing afterwards!
Thank you very much 😊

this is like asmr. I can watch it non stop
Wow - not so much a restoration - more like a creation of a work of art!
Beautifully carried out and recorded. The creation of replacement adjustment wheel mechanism was real craftsmanship.
Excellent video.
Thank you very much Tim ! Cheers
@@CoolAgainRestoration I can guarantee that even when it was manufactured it wouldn't have looked that beautiful

I think restoration is an understatement. I don't think that slicer ever looked this good. Well done!
Thanks a lot 😊
I'm beyond impressed. Thanks for sharing
Thank you very much Sayf and glad you liked it 😊
You put some amazing quality, detail and effort into all your pieces. Who knew a cheese slicer had so many parts?!
Yeah, I never thought at that too 😄
It’s amazing to see one person with this many talents. Very impressive!! The only thing that I would have done differently was engrave the arrow into the dial but you did an amazing job.
Thanks William 😊 glad you liked it
Amazing work!!
