Primitive Butter Churn Restoration - I'm Making Butter for You!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 авг 2023
- In this video, I restored a primitive Victorian era butter churn (18837-1901).
More about the butter churn restoration:
I was the lucky winner of this piece on an auction site. It was fascinating and I firmly believe it was worth the effort because you don't see something like this every day. I found a few similar models online in relatively good condition and concluded that this butter churn was made and used in the Victorian era.
The restoration/remodeling was uneventful but tedious. Many parts were damaged by water and time, especially the top and bottom of the container. The entire project took almost a month.
I cleaned the rusted parts with a 2000-watt laser. It was satisfactory, and everything went quickly. Without this laser, I would have had to manually clean the extensive parts, as many would not have fit in the blast cabinet. If you want to learn more about this machine, www.sfxlyxc.com/?aff=2198
It also took an extremely long time to repair the bottom of the container because it is galvanized steel, and anyone who knows anything about that knows how difficult it is to weld.
It was eaten away by rust, and I had to cut out a fairly large piece and replace it.
The broken cast iron leg went quickly. Normally cast iron is also difficult to weld, but this time I had no problems and am proud of the result.
I also wanted to keep the vintage look so I replaced the drain pipe with a copper pipe, and then I made a handle for the lid using the lathe.
I painted the large parts with food safe paint and the mechanism with ivory white.
The test was a great challenge for me! I had never made butter before and I never thought I would one day make butter like people did in the 1800s.
But I did it, even though I could insist a little more, but it was too hot in my workshop!
I enjoyed working on it, and I'm thrilled with how it turned out. Seeing it work and having the opportunity to own such a rare object was gratifying!
If you have any questions about what I used and why, ask me! I'll answer them all!
Cheers! Johnny.

Hi folks! Here it is, the most Rusty&Broken item I ever restored! Enjoy watching, and thank you for all your support! You are amazing! Cheers! Johnny!
Miło znaleźć polski kanał. Bardzo brzydka renowacja. Pozdrawiam.
Wth!? You've got freaking laser beams over there!? That's it, I quit! I'm done with the U.S.
ط
Beautiful! Love your channel.
I would like to go back in time to tell the factory worker that made this that in 100+ years someone is going to clean it with light so strong it vaporizes rust.
Hahaha, I would love to see such a reaction 😆
I literally think this every time in restoration videos.
Lol
That laser rust removal never gets old and combining it with the lathe was a great idea. But this a fancy butter churn; I have the primitive model. It consists of a crock and a wooden dasher. Cream goes in crock, dasher is moved up and down, and, ages later, you get butter.
I especially like when your restore primitive "appliances". This and your toaster are among my favorites.
I'm glad to know that and thank you for watching my videos 🙂
And these two are complementary, since you can toast bread and then put butter on it!! (add sugar after the butter, you´ll thank me!!)
I think maybe you didn’t churn long enough… you should end up with butter and the remaining whey (very watery). After this, you rinse the butter in cold water to remove the whey and squeeze out the water using cheesecloth. Some folks add a bit of salt to their butter. I like this old churn - although not too wild about the chrome with the yellow paint. Never have I seen one like it. Unusual, but seems to work very well.
Thank you for your bits of advice. I never had to make butter before, and I also didn't want to insist this time.
After I observed that some butter had formed, I stopped churning.
In my workshop, I had 32+ degrees Celsius while churning hard with studio lights on me from all sides, and that was way too much for me 😅😅
I was happy that I could demonstrate that it worked.
The chrome idea came from the item itself because it was chrome-plated, and the base is Ivory, not yellow, a colour very similar to butter. I thought that it would make sense 🙂
Thank you once more for your feedback and for watching my work! Cheers! Johnny
@@rustyshadesrestoration … I think that translates to about 90F… too hot for me! Butter-churning is definitely a cool-weather task. Thanks for sharing your projects!
Thank you for watching my videos and interacting with me! Have a good one!
Butter forms best at 64 degrees fahrenheit. Also milk fat of 35% or higher.
One of my favorite restore videos!!!!!
Holy crap, you broke out the lazer and I thought I was watching Star Trek not a butter churn restoration ! 😂
Hahaha 😅
A great rescue of times past!
Hello mister beautiful restoration good job well done
Thank you so much!
Good video...we make butter here at the old sailors workshop and you can't beat homemade...stay safe...captjack.
Thank you! That's right ✅️ 👌
Масло ещё нужно промыть в холодной воде 😂!Очень красивая маслобойка 👏👏
Firing my laser!!! It looks amazing great work as always!!
Thanks! 🙂
Very nice. I've churned butter... Using my great-grandmother's plunger-type churn. 👍
Well Johnny, you should have seen my face when I saw you were going to restore an old butter churn! My face lit up like a kid on Christmas day! I know, it don't take much to make this old gal happy!😂 Then you used the Lazer! I was off the chair and doing a happy dance, just Awesome! 😁 The short time period I have been a subscriber I have seen the confidence you are gaining with each project. I have one little piece of advice when it comes to making proper butter....cheese cloth! 😊 ok, you know what I thought of this video. Keep on restoring the items that can be of use once again! ❤
Thank you for your advice and feedback. I'm delighted that you find my videos interesting to watch! 🥰
I really want one of these!
While researching, I saw a few for sale on the web. Search for Victorian Butter Churn 🙂
From rusty trash to functional beauty!!!
Awesome job!!! ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That's my job! Thank you! 🙂
A laser lathe? That is awesome!
Hahaha 😁
Mom churned butter using clabbered milk. The left over was the best tasting buttermilk.
I like the chrome finish.😊
I'm glad you like it. 🙂
The laser part with the spinning bowl😮
👌🥰
From rusty trash to functional beauty!!!
Awesome job!!!
Thank you! 🙂
After the 40's - 50's so many useful machines, from simple to complex stopped being manufactured the correct way. Instead of improvements, quality and workmanship went downhill. There is almost nothing you can't restore. I really hope you are teaching others to follow in your footsteps.
Proszę bardzo, polski kanał który uwielbiam😀 cieszę się, że Polacy odnawiają stare przedmioty, uwielbiam ten temat. Pozdrawiam z Płocka 😀
Dziękuję! Pozdrawiam
WOW! Laser cleaning! The next level up from sandblasting! Impressive!
Мы редко задумываемся над тем, как были изобретены привычные для нас продукты… Спасибо за то, что вы реставрируете и наглядно показываете!!!!! 👏👏👏🤗🤗🤗
Thats true! Thank you for your kind words! 🙂
Эти "изделия" были "изобретены" намного раньше. Эти машины были созданы, чтобы облегчить процесс производства.
Great video, so much rust! 😮😁
Indeed! One of the most affected items by rust that I have ever restored.
fantastic job ! this a butter churn is beautifull and functionnal !!! congratulation Jhonny !!!
Thank you! 🙂
Every time I see your laser rust removal I have an uncontrollable urge to yell out don’t cross the streams wile I throw out a ghost trap to the ghost busters theme song 🎶
Hahahhahahha
Excellent restoration. I love seeing the past restored.
you're a good man ❤️.
The butter didn't 'break' from the whey, churn until you see clearly chunks of butter and the liquid milky colored part are separated. Nice restoration! That took patience and talent! Sure beats me shaking a mason jar full of cream for 30 minutes lol.
Hahaha! Thank you for the tips, Barbarra! I have never made butter before, especially in an antique churning machine, but I'm learning 😀
Pyszne masło,naturalne,bez konserwantow i barwnikow.mniam.
Outstanding restoration!
Thank you so much! 🙂
I had to Google to figure out what you were churning to make butter; here in the US we usually use heavy cream to make butter if we make it at home, which isn't so thick that you need a spoon to take it out of the package. I don't think I've ever seen "thick cream" on the shelves here. Also, I think the drain on the bottom is meant to be used to remove the buttermilk from the butter once you're done churning, but I haven't ever seen a churn that works like that one before, so I could easily be wrong. The hand-cranked butter churns I'm familiar with have a four-flanged paddle that spins inside a fixed container, rather than a fixed paddle and a rotating drum.
Yes, that was 36% fat cream, here you can find it in every shop.
You are right; the drain is used for draining the buttermilk, but my copper pipe got filled up with butter, and I couldn't use it in the video (trying to avoid messy situations). 🙂
Considering the low amount of fat in his cream (32%) it is almost a wonder that he ended up with butter at all.
Desired level of fat in cream for butter making is 33 to 40 per cent. Standardisation to higher and lower levels leads to higher fat loss in buttermilk. Reduction of fat by adding water should be avoided as it interferes ripening of cream and also results in butter with flat or washed-off flavour.
You're welcome! 🙂
@@rustyshadesrestorationIn my country we have a 36% whipping cream, which is liquid but has worked ok for me when I have made butter. Makes me wonder how your cream is different if the fat content is same.
Maybe I also missed something and I'm too lazy to rewind, but did you treat the inside of the churn in any way, or did you just remove the rust and dirt?
Знаєте, я мала враження, що Ви ремонтуєте якийсь музейний раритет... Результат чудовий! Дякую за таку увагу до деталей і клопітку роботу!
Niedowierzałem że to Polski kanał a tu taka niespodzianka! Brawo!
Dziękuję bardzo! ❤️
Brilliant work and great to see old equipment brought back to life 😀 My uncle used to use one of these to make butter for his family and neighbours
Thank you! 🙂 I'm happy that I could bring back to you those beautiful memories ✨️
Świetna renowacja👍 Aż ciężko uwierzyć ile lat ma ta maselnica... Super że znowu działa i że spełnia zadanie.
Beautiful restoration!! and we get to see how difficult was to make things that today we take for granted. Awesome job!!
Thank you! That's true! From now on, I'll appreciate way more homemade products. It was pretty tough making that small portion of butter at 35 degrees 🫠
Marvelous job you did restoring the hand-operated butter churn. It looks much better and it works like a charm too. Excellent work as usual. I have never seen one like that before.
I'm so glad you think so! Thank you very much for your time and support! 🙂
It's always fun to see what you have next to restore. The process is fascinating to watch & I am addicted to your vlogs.....Hi 👋🏻 from tropical storm in Southern California
I'm so glad you enjoy watching my videos. Greetings from Poland! 🙂
OK - I'm the new kid on the block. That looked like something outta Star Trek, that lightning bolt on the rusty parts. Pardon my ignorance, but just WHAT the blue blazes was THAT?!
Same here 🙋🏻♀️
Beautiful restoration! Also love the little fairy house jar 😂❤
Thank you!! 😊
11:35 you can use a wide capacity for the bluing liquid and so drops will fall inside a bottle instead of a napkin🤔thank for the video 👍
Приятного апетита. У вас золотые Руки.
When I see Butter churn this isn't what came to mind 1st 😅 still interesting tho
Last one we used with just one fresh cow was a glass jar of a gallon or gallon and a half, with the paddles attached to the lid with a gear assembly. Slow, but worked. If lacking even that, shaking the milk in a jar worked, too. We’d hang the butter in cheesecloth and let the whey drip out.
I have one like that too, but only the mechanism. I have to find a jar that fits, and maybe I'll give it a try!
@@rustyshadesrestoration I think they were made so the mechanics would fit on the big pickle jars or restaurant size mayonnaise jars, as they were often broken , since the children were tasked epithet the chore. Haven’t seen ours in decades, so maybe it has a new home. Haven’t had a cow tor forty years.
Надо было сливки дереаенские брать , из под коровы .Из магазинной масло сбить не получится . Раритетная вещь , музейная . Хорошая работа .
Yet another great job.
Another great restoration. It’s amazing how much work it took for something we can just get from a supermarket nowadays.
Thank you! That's true; after this project, I certainly appreciate more homemade products than before 😀
Excelente trabajo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great Job! It looks like that unit is easier to operate than many old churns, especially with ti's restoration!
Thank you very much!
TBH, I make my butter, in an old, 250g coffee jar. Keep it cool, and shake it until the whey, separates, then wash it with ice water; shape it, and there you have it - maybe add a little salt, if you like. I find that one x 600ml supermarket cream, makes about 240g of butter. (and you can use the whey in scones).
"I'm going to enjoy the proses of sand blasting. Wait, is that a laser ray???"
OK... 😋 YUM and a heart attack all at the same time. But, ohh what a way to go!? 🤔
Great renno and beautiful butter 🧈!
Thanks!!!! 👍
Thank you! 🙂
great video....👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you David! 😊
Наверное, очень вкусно получилось, приятного аппетита!!! Ваша работа как всегда безупречна!!! Вы великий труженик и мастер своего дела ❤
Thank you so much! 🙂
You gotta stick a lawnmower engine to that thing, start pumping out homemade butter. Theirs definitely a market for homemade butter. Add some kind of spice to it.
really cool restoration of an old kitchen tool. just 1 tip for you. when using chrome paint, it needs to be extremely smooth surface, then paint the entire thing black first, then hit it with chrome paint. for some reason chrome paint shines better with a black base coat.
Fist time watching was not expecting a laser
🙂
Very good
Thank you, Amir!
Great job once again!
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice job ! 😏👍
Thanks!
Earned a new subscriber. Came across a couple of your older videos and enjoyed the time and effort and originality. Sounds effects and little animation in a couple made me laugh. Look forward to binge watching your work!
Welcome aboard! Thank you! 🙂
Я надеюсь, что в следующий раз на реставрации у вас будет медогонка. Вот на процесс восстановления этой вещи очень хотелось бы посмотреть.
Very nice idea! Thanks ✊️ 😊
Nice project and a job well done!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it! 👍
Awesome work 👍👍
I'm glad you like it! 👍
śmietanka wymiata. 👍
Congratulations for a magnific job, can you seal the floor with the esquiz
I have started to take bets on if you brake a bolt in you videos are not... SMH lol love the videos
Great job. The butter looked really good!
Thank you 😋 it was delicious!
As i said it butter be good and after i watched the video you didn't disappoint me can't wait for what you restore next
I'm glad you enjoyed the video, Thomas!
very nice restoration, looks like you might have to restore your lathe soon, it looks like there is quite a bit of looseness in the tool and chuck rigidity
Thank you! Yes, it needs some attention after all the work done for this project.
Комментарий в поддержку канала и ролика, а также труда мастера
Much appreciated! 🙂
Well done! Looks soo different 😊
Thank you! Cheers!
Love the video. Love the restorations you choose. Timeless classics
Thank you! 🙂
Awesome job! 👌
Thank you! 🙂
At the risk of nitpicking, brazing cast iron is stronger than welding repairs. The base material becomes weak in the heat zone when welding cast iron.
I can't agree with you. I just had a project a few months ago where I had to weld a cast iron Doctor Scale. Guess what? I have 91 kg, and I'm still using it almost weakly. So, maybe brazing is good, but I'll never subestimate a correct good weld. Best, Johnny
Well done!@@rustyshadesrestoration
Awesome job
Thanks! 🙂
Nice❤
Thank you! 🙂
Вы не доколотили масло. Надо было еще немного покрутить, должно было масло собраться в один комок , а сыворотка от масла должна быть совсем жидкая и как я поняла, внизу, в бачке должна быть пробочка, которую вытаскивали и сливали сыворотку, а затем в маслобойку наливали холодную воду и колотили еще несколько минут, промывая масло. А так суперская вещь! У меня 4 коровы и я бы хотела такую, сама колочу в планетарном миксере))
Thank you for your tips! I had no idea how long I should churn; it was my first time doing it.
Not jiving with the paint mixing bowl.
Great restoration other than that.
Exactly what I said
Now it’s working so much butter😂
Oh yeah! 👌 🙂
good machine. nice cleaning. but my gosh good sir use the right wrench. And love each piece.
Thank you. I do not possess such an old wrench. No one is selling anything like this today.
I would not call that primitive. It was a great advancement for the time, real cutting edge!
Ha! Cutting edge. I got it.
Awesome work 👍
Thank you so much! 🙂
Nice video. Please churn longer. The cream didn’t separate the fat completely out. Then rinse with cold water & squeeze access butter milk out to keep any milk residue from spoiling the butter early.
Thank you! It was my first time churning butter 🧈 I observed that some butter formed, so I stopped because I was dying of hot too. 😅😅😅
Thank you for your advice; I'll do that next time!
@@rustyshadesrestoration yeah those old churners take mire work than just using a blender. If you use a blender it takes about 2-3 minutes to beat to fully separate, but homemade butter is very good.
I have seen one used to make ice cream too.
That would be awesome! I have to try making some ice cream 😁 It Should work well...
I guess sand blasting would have taken much more time than lazering.😎
Absolutely 💯
From watching you turn the copper piece in the lathe. I just want to give you a couple of pointers. The insert cutter was to far above center. Your gibs need tightened up that’s why the tip of the tool dipped down when you was cutting.
Thank you for your tips! 🙂
Great video,very nice.never seen one that style.kudos great job 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Thank you, Tom! Greetings from Poland!
Hola, me asombró esa luz ( rayo) para limpiar el metal!!!! Puedes explicar de que se TRARA? GRACIAS
BUTTER!
I am interested in the process of restoration from the inside, because there will be a food product inside. The appearance of the object matters, but what happens when working with surfaces that are in contact with food?
Ficou lindo
😅 perfect.
Squeeze the curds with cheese cloth to extract all the butter milk.
I'll try that next time 🙂 I'm new to butter making 👽
What was the method you used to clean the rust off of the barrel? It almost looked like a combination of fire and laser.
I used a BLC-2000w laser machine to clean all that mess 😀
The smoke that was created in the process, as it was floating through the beam from the laser, is what created the visual effect that looked like flames.
If you have a laser level that can split the beam into a line (fairly inexpensive these days) and a dark room, you can see this effect by using a cigarette or a vape (or >ahem< other stuff that makes smoke) be gently letting the smoke drift through the beam. It’s mesmerizing to watch!
Was hoping you would do hot blueing for the food safe parts.
The food doesn't has what to do on the gear wheel, so why I should care?
Very cool project 👍 my favorite part was watching you clean the rust of the bowl in the lathe with that amazing rust remover laser, very clever idea. The finished project turned out well. How did it taste ?
I'm glad you liked the idea of cleaning the barrel with the help of the lathe&laser.
How did it taste? Hmm
Butterlazerish! 😂 I was impressed by the taste and quality 👌
I had to show my better half the laser rust remover. I think I saw it in another video too.
А выглядит как бетономешалка😁
Hahaha, yes, indeed!
