    Finally watched the video again, so I wrote down the time for cat activity:
    0:33 Book companion Avril
    0:43 Continuation
    5:42 Guarding the parts, plus fan service?
    5:51 For a very short moment, in the background, upper middle part, behind the clay pot
    6:03 Detective Avril on site
    11:33 Is it a log? A wood leg? No, it's the Fluffy Orange Assistant Meow (aka, Avril)
    14:58 Mystery Kitty below
    15:03 And again
    17:13 Guardian Avril resting
    19:48 Startled kitty?
    21:00 A trio of horses at the end
    I don't know the name of the other fluff, but I guess the horses at the end are mounts for the Kitty Knight Avril, the orange fluff.

      Most people call old equipment useless since it almost has little to no value and since technology has been advanced there's almost no use to them in Modern Society but props to people who use it

    I love how elegantly this work of art is repaired: no music, a simple step-by-step process for each piece or part, a cat here or there (because that's what cats do), great care for each piece (along with the insects that decided to live in it), and a winning patience which was well rewarded with a machine that does its job well. Great job restoring that great grain mill! It's so nice when these old machines which people believe are too old to work are repaired, and turn in invaluable backups and spares after a patient restoration is applied. I mean, the mill design works, so what's to change about it? Why get a NEW grain mill, when you can just use what the people in 1902 used? It's so satisfying to see the rust and dust wash away and an old mill become completely new!
    May God bless you, sir! And have a good day!

Those horses are beautiful - it is lovely to see horses together in a field, so often you see one on it's own, horses do not like to be alone. Merci beaucoup. Subscribed.

    If it were me I’d restore it and put a big electric motor on it just because modern times have made me too lazy to crank it myself. 😜

    I love watching your videos, mostly because it is really cool to see these old pieces of machinery get restored but also because how you restore it challenges some of our current engineering principles. I am sitting here thinking 'the grease is a bit overkill, especially because chances are the thing is never going to see heavy use again' but then I realize that's why tools like that are still around today. They weren't designed to just do the job enough, they were designed to do the job forever and that is how they do it. It is very refreshing to watch you work, I have to admit. Keep up the good work :)

    "Les Établissements Simon Frères is a company of the Channel , based in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin .
    They were founded in 1856 and specialize in the manufacture of appliances for the food industry.
    The company is labeled Entreprise du patrimoine vivant"
    In 1856 , Jean-Laurent Simon, son of agricultural laborer, left the arsenal to open in Cherbourg, under the sign of Simon Jeune, a small workshop specialized in the repair of boats and hydraulic mills [2] . Rewarded from 1860 for his agricultural machinery, he manufactured during the war of 1870 cannons of 80 mm, with novelty, loading by the cylinder head, then resumes the design of steam engines, for agriculture, sawmills and flour mills, and completes his foundry workshop.
    The company, which was taken over in 1890 by his two sons, Albert and Auguste, gradually gave up steam farming machines to devote himself, at a time when the dairies of the Cotentin and the Grand-Ouest were regrouping as co-operatives to industrialize. machines for the industrial production of butter: churns, mixers, skimmers, continuous molds. In 1896 , the company took the name of Simon Brothers and moved in 1904 in the district of Maupas [2] .
    Specialized also in the design of equipment for the manufacture of cider and perry (crushers and presses with apples then with olives or grapes), the company collects the rewards between 1888 and 1900 : 6 grand prizes, 5 prizes of honor, 3 diplomas 33 gold medals, including the Paris Palais de l'Industrie competition, and the universal exhibitions of Paris 1889, Brussels 1898, and Paris 1900. Idem for those of Hanoi, Saint Louis, Liège , Milan and Zaragoza. Albert and Auguste were made officers of the Agricultural Merit in 1898 and 1900.
    They also diversify in flatteners, grain crushers, rides, drummers, but also motor pumps, engines and generators. In 1906 , they build a new factory on the location of the workshop. Simon Frères Establishments gain a worldwide reputation, become leader with 50 to 70% of the world market, and establish factories in Holland, Italy and Ireland. After a new period of weapons construction during the First World War , the company resumed its development, acquiring the factories for the brewery Hubert de Saumur in 1921 , and Vennin de Lille in 1929 .
    In 1939 , the third generation takes the reins like Pierre Simon, again forced to manufacture weapons for the army, shells and wheels. Under-production during the occupation, destroyed in 1944 , the plant quickly resumed its activity in 1945 , offering innovative machines for the dairy industry, covering manufacturing to final packaging. Growing thanks to the modernization of this sector during the "Thirty glorious", the company is present on all continents, employing 450 people in Cherbourg in the 1970s, and selling 700 large capacity butter machines between 1957 and 2001 . With Roger Simon at its head between 1969 and 1985 , then Christian Simon, she diversified into industrial lines for various food products, blenders for cheese, bakery and confectionery, but also for cosmetics, then as a subcontractor in boiler making for DCN and Cogéma .
    In 1973 , the company was awarded the Oscar for Export, the latter representing 60% of its activity [3] .
    In 1976 , the factory was paralyzed by a major strike. The doors are blocked on March 31st. Despite an interim judgment of 3 April ordering the opening of the doors, the occupation of the plant continues until the end of the month.
    After a judicial turnaround in 1989 , the company faced the saturation of the butter machine market in the early 2000s, which accounted for half of its turnover (30% subcontracting). The sharp drop in orders and a debt of 2.2 million euros, forced the oldest company in the canton of Cherbourg to file for bankruptcy in the summer of 2004 .
    In the spring of 2005 , the company was bought by the Brétèche Industrie group, with just over a third of its staff [2] . It abandons subcontracting with DCNS and Areva NC to refocus on its agribusiness activity. It then takes the name of Simon SAS (simplified public limited company).
    In March 2013 , she abandons her historic premises in Maupas to settle in the arsenal of Cherbourg , inside the former workshop "Composites" [5] . The company has 1,200 square meters to create machines for the manufacture of butter [6] .
    In 2016 , the company celebrates its 160th birthday on 9th September aboard the sailing ship Marité [7] .
    The historic site which covers two hectares in Maupas, street Laurent-Simon , is bought by the city of Cherbourg [8] . On June 6, 2018 , the decision was made to raze buildings covering 10,000 square meters and to clean up the oil-contaminated site. [9] Asbestos removal begins in November 2018 [
