Looks ok but two things you messed up on. When you sanded and ground the face of the grinder plate you dulled the cutters badly. That surface is machined to fit precisely with the “star” wheels attached to the auger. It will still cut soft foods but raw meats will take much more effort. They’ll likely be more mashed than ground. Also noticed the washer on the clamping screw was removed. Hard to repair that one. It can be done though by drilling the tip of the screw and flaring the washer back onto it
I couldn't believe it when he ground away the sharp edges on the cutter. That's like purposely dulling a knife. Those edges are sharp for a purpose but he didn't realize that. He wanted to make them pretty so he ground them down.
11:12 Don't do that, if you're using a grindstone to smooth out an edge or a point, you need to constantly keep the object moving around from side to side, otherwise your grindstone will have a valley in the middle.
Wow, this is the grinder my grandparents had at home when I was a little kid back in Cuba. You reminded me of my grandpa grinding corn for some Cuban tamales. Thank you very much for this one!
Yes, my Mom saved up the ends of Italian loaves of bread in a big plastic bag. Then about every 3 weeks or so, it was job to grind up the piece into bread crumbs. Then she took that and added her spices, and we had free bread crumbs for her frying needs. Your video brought back long ago memories.
My father taught me how to use ours 55 years ago. It had once belonged to his great, great grandmother. In nearly 140 years not a month has gone by that some one in our family hasn't used it. I made home made ground beef with it last week. All original parts still works perfectly. The design was perfect. The blades sharpen themselves automatically. I have a photograph of my great great great grandmother teaching my great grandmother how to use it when she was a little girl. That was in the 1880's. I have a photo of my great grandmother teaching my father how to use it in 1940 and another of him teaching me around 1964. Lets see any food processor manufactured today last half that long. in fact I'd put up all my future earnings against anyone else's next pay check if they can get any food processor manufactured so far this year to survive once a month use for the next ten years intact. They just don't last like that. 6 generations 140 years 1 food processor take that China!
I inherited the meat grinder of my grandmother and she took it over from my great grandmother ... so this thing is at least 100 years old. Sadly, I don't really have a use for it. Although I vividly remember that I used it with my grandmother - I would rotate the handle and she would feed the grinder with raw spinach leafs or dough. The grinder has different front facings and even a 'switchable' facing (triangle, star shape, rectangular) for making cookies. You feed the grinder the dough and a sausage like dough string comes out that is portioned in in small pieces. Ah, fond memories!
I am an American with a Panamanian background. My mom has a manual food processor like that one. We use it for our process of making tamales. *very different from what is known as a Mexican Tamale, although there are some similarities* We cook Goya dried Corn kernels and process them to a paste. Very hard work but still made with love and tradition 💕
While the restoration is very nice, I don’t believe they were ever painted from day one. We had a couple of them growing up 75 years ago and I never saw one that was painted. They were used for grinding meat primarily, they could, with an additional attachment, be used for stuffing sausages. For cleaning auger and insides stale bread was run through, then unit disassembled and washed with soap and water.
@@TysyTube Never seen one painted, a good thing because of led paints of that era covering a food processing tool. But results are stunning, only way to keep it from rusting is using it.
@@TysyTube Yes! It was electroplated (or chromed, if you wish). When you applied that anti-rust bath one could see the yellowish under chrome base, that was copper (sign of a good chrome finishing). My mother had the very same grinder since it married in 1950. It was sold and widely used as meat grinder, despite the generic "FOOD" at the side. It was made of cast iron and would rust easily if wasn't chromed. I doubt this fancy red painting, even with the primer base, can act as anti-rust protection. I would not have criticized you if you had taken the parts to a good chrome shop - by the contrary: I think the result would be stunning! Other missing item in your task was the rotate knife (that was the name people usually call that part): I would sharpen it by assembling in the grinder and milling with grinding paste, the same as used to set piston engine valves. After all, a restored meat grinder must perform this task as it was conceived decades ago.
😥 Sorry but I own 3 of these and I have never seen any of them painted. They are treated much like cast iron and oiled after washing. Also even if they ever did have a coating it would have been baked on like an enamel.
Sand blasters are good sometimes, but sometimes they can take away metal too, just like a wire wheel. I've had problems with both. But I do agree a sand blaster is very handy to have. My problem was actually using the blaster to get old paint off that was very stubborn instead of using a stripper (When I first got it I used every excuse to use it... lesson learned).
Sand Blasting is a must. Also if the parts were to be painted some plaster would do much better to get old rusted surfaces in a more smooth appearance.
I was born in '61 and I have seen a few of those. He probably picked it up at a flea market. If those still exist. Missing pieces, looks like it just for show. He always does such wonderful work. I enjoy his sense of humor and he doesn't need to say a word
My Mom had one *just* like that. It worked *GREAT.* Many *many* of my school lunch Sammiches were made from left over pot roast or pork (that we butchered ourselves) ground up in that thing. Modern tools are complete junk. That's *not* an exaggeration. I'm old enough now to BE the bona fide _'Voice of Experience'._
@Gizmo Goose YES!!!! My mother even made Bologna Salad (my sisters called it Yuck Salad)...ground up bologna, yellow cheese (probably Velveeta), add mayo and chopped dill pickle. Made food stretch farther when money was tight. 3 or 4 slices of bologna could make sandwiches for our family of 5 for a couple of days.
My mother had the same mincer in the 60’s when I was very young. She used to grind up lamb, beef, garlic, onion, vegetables, breadcrumbs, spices and mixed in with eggs to make meat patties and also homemade sausages. I can still taste them! Her mincer was the same but just a dull grey colour. Beautiful restoration!
Have two of them, both passed-down through family. One made in 1950's is plated, and one made in 1920's is not plated and is a better quality unit. Both have multiple blades for different foods and grind setting. Easy to use and to clean. No corrosion problems if treated properly. Thanks for your video, which shows that these can be saved (although no painting if used for food).
Man that would come in handy to grind up chicken or turkey. And also grind up ham. You did exactly as you ALWAYS do- made it totally brand new! Truly you are AWESOME!!!

Hell yeah! My aunt and grandma use to put me to grind corn, toasted coffee beans and meat... Corn to the chickens, coffee to adults and meat to make sausages. And i used to love all of that.
Nope. Those meat grinders were never painted. And for good reason. Ease of cleaning and to not have to worry about flakes of paint getting into the ground food. How do I know, when my grandmother's grinder got passed down to me, I said something to granma about painting it. She said for pity sake not to do it and it was not painted when she got it from the catalog store back in 1919. She said that nobody's grinders were painted. I still have it and use it to grind meats. And there is no evidence that it ever had paint on it. And it is still just as shiny as I remember it always was when we went to the farm on butchering day (I would help her grind the pork they were butchering so we could make sausage). But the grinder in the video would not be very effective because I did not see a "slicer" or any of the extruder plates for the for the different "grind" sizes. So, I guess his end result is just for show.
cimogm nope, this is not a meat grinder. This is an all purpose food grinder. Meant to grind up all kinds of foods. It doesn’t have different size settings. That would uh make the “all purpose” not “all purpose” lol And for someone as your grandma with little to no knowledge of modern paint and coatings, ya I would say she is right in her thinking of not painting because if you did it wrong or the entire thing you’ve fucked up the piece. And no one in their right mind would paint the inside or anywhere the food would touch and grind. This piece is 100 percent functional.
My mom still has one since like the 1920's, passed down from her mom. It is red on the outside and white enamel, like on cooking pots on the inside. So yeah, painted.
Firstly, as others said, the paint parts are not in contact with the food, and secondly, normal steel is not recommanded anymore to be in contact with food, cuz nobody wants to eat rust, just stainless steel is allowed. And I will add that with the paint, it is now easier to clean it.
Very fond memories of doing that job. Every year I was tasked with mincing up the onions and stale bred for the sage n onion stuffing to go in the Xmas turkey. Loved it and wish I could do it again.. but it was 45 yes ago lol. Looking for a green enamel one to replace it.
Tysy, you have a special talent, which is to bring back to life the objects of the destroyed and long forgotten. Everything is as new and can be used again. Congratulations!
my Grandfather would have me and my cousins grind up fresh Horseradish in an old grinder like this. Awesome to see these old guys being restored to working order.
I have one like this! When I was little, between 10 and 13 years old, my father asked me to grind cow's heart to mix with our dog's ration. Do you believe ?! And I even liked it. I think for five years I did that. Then we don't use it anymore. And we keep it on the shelf. Its restoration was magnificent and brought me good memories!
I used to help my Mum to make sweet mincemeat for putting into mince pies at Christmas. But that was a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away ! Great restoration job, as usual.
Nice restoration. And still a functional tool, too. Here's a good tip: next time, use natural materials to lubricate tools like these. Use the thickest sun flower oil or olive oil you can find. For the handle you can use bees wax, or even candle wax. If these products end up in the food, it will be completely harmless.
@@TysyTube You could probably make your own lubricant by melting both bee's wax and a vegetable oil and mixing it together. I know the viscosity will be between that of the wax and that of the oil out of experiences from making salves/creams. Cocoa butter could also be used as a food-safe lubricant.
I grew up in a community where most people made their own sausage and jerky every year, usually at the end of deer hunting season. Sausage was any combination of venison, pork and or beef. You needed a steady rhythm and a strong arm to keep turning out an attractive sausage (and not waste the casings).
My grandmother has one of these but with changeable caps. You can grind meat, press dough into spaghetti or make cookies. I loved "helping" my grandmother make cookies by cranking the machine, because I could always snatch some of the raw dough. 😁
I have a Universal meat grinder (I think the same model) with multiple blade attachments that belonged to my great, great grandmother. It is still in great condition considering its age. You did a great job restoring this piece but I prefer the look of the machined metal without the paint as they were originally finished.
My parents got married in 1973, and they bought a grinder for themselves (this was the food processor available in Brazil back in the days). Throughout my childhood and adolescence I used one of these, specially for making bolinhos de bacalhau (cod fish dumplings) a dish from Portugal that we used to eat during Easter: we ground salted codfish, onions, baked potatos and coriander, made balls and friend them in plenty of oil.
Looks good, those old Universal grinders really stood the test of time. They came in five different sizes; #00, #0, and #1 were for cutting things like vegetables and nuts, the #2 was for processing meat, and the #3 was the restaurant grade. You can run meat through the #1 but take your time and be gentle with it.
I have one of these that belonged to my great grandmother. I thought it was a neat coincidence to see it here, but judging by the comments, everyone had this same model back in the day. I guess this thing really was universal.
Yep - I did my time cranking the handle on one of these for mashing up meats of all types, especially for Christmas and Thanksgiving... That was the first thing I thought of when you brought this item out to restore! Great episode as usual!
Te salut frate ! Frumos video 👍 Sunt abonat la tine de foarte mult timp și habar n-am avut că ești român...până când te-am văzut în comentarii la Andy Popescu la un videoclip despre youtuberi români și câți bani fac. Zic ,stai așa ,nu se poate 🤣😂 omul este roman de al nostru. 💪
A shiny new toy! Well done, well deserved. When I was a child in the sixties my parents had something like this to mince their own meat etc. Theirs had several adapters with different sized holes, much like our electric stand mixers these days. Does that make old? A gorgeous restoration that also brought back some wonderful memories of fifty years ago. A great choice of colour as it would go with modern kitchen colour schemes and would match many people’s modern accessories. For the memories and the work that went into the video thank you, but I’m going to be permanently traumatised by the fate of the bears.
Love this channel, but really wish you would use the proper chemicals and oils for whatever project you're working on. Even if you don't use these items, someone someday might and anything having to do with the preparation of food should be kept indefinitely food safe. If not for the safety, then only to call it a complete restoration it should be restored as if you were to use it
I agree. Let's see this redone for exactly that reason, and have a big block over this video that redirects people to the new video. Or delete this video and completely replace it with the new one (or maybe using clips from here that don't get in the way of Apple Pi's point).
My grandfather had one of those and would use it at the end of the week to grind up all the left over cooked meat to make a hash for Friday night supper. Whatever meat was left over went into the hash, but it was mostly chicken and pork that was used.
We just rescued a load of stuff from our neighbour's shed - he was moving house and was going to sell all his old junk for scrap, but we saved it. There's lots of stuff, generally wood and metal working tools, but also a leatherworking sewing machine, several sets of scales, six typewriters of various sizes (some of which look very promising) and a whole load of mincers and grinders like this. And to all the critics out there, there are at least 4 painted ones, some of which are enamelled on the inside too. All I need now are some machine tools and time, and I can get them grinding again (I am veggie though so I would probably use them for falafels and nut roasts more than anything!).
@@TysyTube Doctor Who est un personnage célèbre de la télévision britannique depuis les années 1960. Son véhicule spatial s'appelle le Tardis, dont le moteur fait beaucoup de vacarme.
Close. It was actually a house key repeatedly run against some springs in the 60’s. You should watch An Adventure in Space and Time, very interested how they pulled it off with 60’s tech and not much money 😊
We have this exact model, still in use today, it was bought second hand in America in a thrift store and brought back to England with my wife's mother's family.
My mother and grandmothers made delicious food using a thing like that! After use, before you wash it, "clean" it by grinding one or two slices of old bread, it will absorb most of the grease.
Both my mother and my grandmother had one of these. My mother would have me do the grinding for what she called "groundhog" (ham or bologna, peppers, onion and celery) she would then season it and add mayo and mustard. Other times she would have me grind up leftover chicken or turkey and would make croquettes. Thanks for the memories.
My mother bought the meat and the only "volunteer" to grind it with that machine was I. Everyone abandon the house! It was not dirty not smelly it was tough work for a kid specially with those fibrous pieces that became ungrindable and you have to reverse it disassemble the darn thing to dislodge the fibers. Many memories of good food out of that old mother's companion. Great meat loafs, lasagnas, spaghetties, elbows, and many many dishes mmm!
I give this a "C". So much more could have been done. The Cherry red paint over the heavy porous metal doesn't look right at all and simple filler and a little sanding would have made the finish pop.
Not my mother; my grandmother. She was from Ukraine and did her cooking by hand. Fantastic cook; I thought all grandparents were like mine. Too bad for many other people... Anyway, one of her cooking aids was a HUGE chopper/grinder something like the one here, but much bigger and with several cutting-disk attachments to allow different size chopping, from chunks to hamburger. When I was with her as a child (they lived only a few blocks from my home and were my brother and my babysitters for most of our childhoods, luckily for us!), I was her "trusted assistant" and did such things as cranking the chopper -- I had to stand on a chair when I was little -- and so forth. Lots of fun and I got to taste a lot of things first, right from the oven. Heaven on earth!
In my house we have exactly the same food chopper (I thing I will do a restoration like yours) it was from my grandmother. Still remember chopping corn to do some typical local food (I live in northeast of Brazil, we have a strong religious culture and we celebrate saint John in June 24th, corn based foods are typical from the season, corn was historically the main harvest for this part of the year). Great video!
Haha, loved how you pet the grinder in the beginning. Great job!
yeah i thought i was watching How to Basic for a moment there
Where’s he get this crap. Like am the one imagining him in a dark ally like “yo u got the stuff.”
“Uh, ya man here’s your rusty meat grinder”
He gets it from you gansta grandma. I saw you selling him the good stuff at the flea market

Very fond memories of doing that job. Every year I was tasked with mincing up the onions and stale bred for the sage n onion stuffing to go in the Xmas turkey. Loved it and wish I could do it again.. but it was 45 yes ago lol. Looking for a green enamel one to replace it.
this life pass so quickly 😥
I've been missing out, I've only ever used a motorized one.
now i have weak arms.
My mother used one of those for years... not in that condition. Great job bringing it back to life.
Tysy, you have a special talent, which is to bring back to life the objects of the destroyed and long forgotten. Everything is as new and can be used again. Congratulations!
Yes, I have my mom's chopper and yep I used it when I was young. This brought so many smiles and memories. Thank you.
R.I.P sticky bears 🐻
🤣🤣🤣🤣
my Grandfather would have me and my cousins grind up fresh Horseradish in an old grinder like this. Awesome to see these old guys being restored to working order.
Best restoration channel in youtube. 👌🏻
Please take show us your collection of your restored tools. Good luck
thank you so much 😊
I have one like this! When I was little, between 10 and 13 years old, my father asked me to grind cow's heart to mix with our dog's ration. Do you believe ?! And I even liked it. I think for five years I did that. Then we don't use it anymore. And we keep it on the shelf. Its restoration was magnificent and brought me good memories!
Easily the best channel on YT.
thank you so much 😊
I used to help my Mum to make sweet mincemeat for putting into mince pies at Christmas. But that was a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away ! Great restoration job, as usual.
Nice restoration. And still a functional tool, too.
Here's a good tip: next time, use natural materials to lubricate tools like these.
Use the thickest sun flower oil or olive oil you can find. For the handle you can use bees wax, or even candle wax. If these products end up in the food, it will be completely harmless.
thank you so much 😊
@@TysyTube You could probably make your own lubricant by melting both bee's wax and a vegetable oil and mixing it together.
I know the viscosity will be between that of the wax and that of the oil out of experiences from making salves/creams.
Cocoa butter could also be used as a food-safe lubricant.
I grew up in a community where most people made their own sausage and jerky every year, usually at the end of deer hunting season. Sausage was any combination of venison, pork and or beef. You needed a steady rhythm and a strong arm to keep turning out an attractive sausage (and not waste the casings).
The gummy bears was genius, at first I thought "what? " & then I realized they have the same sticky quality as grinding fresh fatty meats like pork. 🖒
My grandmother had one of those. They make the best corned beef hash
cool
Hold crap, that’s how hash is made. I’ve been chopping mine by hand for years. ::runs to get grinder::
My grandmother has one of these but with changeable caps. You can grind meat, press dough into spaghetti or make cookies. I loved "helping" my grandmother make cookies by cranking the machine, because I could always snatch some of the raw dough. 😁
I believe the crusty version would have added more flavor to your food!
ah yes. the taste of tetanus
I have a Universal meat grinder (I think the same model) with multiple blade attachments that belonged to my great, great grandmother. It is still in great condition considering its age. You did a great job restoring this piece but I prefer the look of the machined metal without the paint as they were originally finished.
Waooo..this bring me so many memories 🤗🤤 my grandmother used to have one.
I love how you threaded the bolt, that was genius!!
Your new background logo is better. It's simple and neat. I'm always distracted in the old one, it feels chaotic and in contrast in what you're doing.
you have right
I'm pretty sure my Grandmother had one very similar to this one and yes, I have used it many times grinding up venison....outstanding restoration!!!
Good to see you are starting to treat handles and stuff like that as just as important. Recondition, repair, reuse.
Very sweet job. You kept it paint free where it needed to be. I would use that in a minute. Proud of you. You rock.
beautiful job! As a swede i would've thrown in some meatballs to prove its working ;)
My parents got married in 1973, and they bought a grinder for themselves (this was the food processor available in Brazil back in the days). Throughout my childhood and adolescence I used one of these, specially for making bolinhos de bacalhau (cod fish dumplings) a dish from Portugal that we used to eat during Easter: we ground salted codfish, onions, baked potatos and coriander, made balls and friend them in plenty of oil.
Now it's also a cooking channel.
almost 🤣
Looks good, those old Universal grinders really stood the test of time. They came in five different sizes; #00, #0, and #1 were for cutting things like vegetables and nuts, the #2 was for processing meat, and the #3 was the restaurant grade. You can run meat through the #1 but take your time and be gentle with it.
Someone restore me to a time when I wasn't dead inside.
all i got is sandpaper, a whetstone, a vice, a power drill, and a few brushes.
@@basedokadaizo worth a shot.

Beautiful work.
i legit just sat and binge watched 9 of your vids thank you this stuff is so satisfying
Poor bears
🤣
I have one of these that belonged to my great grandmother. I thought it was a neat coincidence to see it here, but judging by the comments, everyone had this same model back in the day. I guess this thing really was universal.
Let's face it guys, he loves to paint things!
Yep - I did my time cranking the handle on one of these for mashing up meats of all types, especially for Christmas and Thanksgiving... That was the first thing I thought of when you brought this item out to restore! Great episode as usual!
You should restore that giant rusty wrench you keep using as a hammer :P
🤣🤷♂️ i don’t know how
I don't know a thing about antiques or restoration but these videos are so relaxing to watch. Thanks for sharing!
Только ты зря покрасил,было бы лучше прокалить и в масло кинуть.
I love the affection you showed this meat grinder at the begining of the video
I like that red color
me to 😊
TysyTube Restoration I always love your color choice👍
You got love the way he bring these items back to life with full function. Excellent workmanship and video.
Te salut frate ! Frumos video 👍 Sunt abonat la tine de foarte mult timp și habar n-am avut că ești român...până când te-am văzut în comentarii la Andy Popescu la un videoclip despre youtuberi români și câți bani fac. Zic ,stai așa ,nu se poate 🤣😂 omul este roman de al nostru. 💪
Mersi😊
@@TysyTube Wow, esti roman, nu stiam. Bravo pt proiect
A shiny new toy! Well done, well deserved.
When I was a child in the sixties my parents had something like this to mince their own meat etc. Theirs had several adapters with different sized holes, much like our electric stand mixers these days. Does that make old?
A gorgeous restoration that also brought back some wonderful memories of fifty years ago. A great choice of colour as it would go with modern kitchen colour schemes and would match many people’s modern accessories.
For the memories and the work that went into the video thank you, but I’m going to be permanently traumatised by the fate of the bears.
I just read "these bears are very sticky" and I was like" I know what I'm doing for the next 16 minutes"
Cucumber, sausage and jely bears. ..
Very especial salad. .. OMG!!!!
Love this channel, but really wish you would use the proper chemicals and oils for whatever project you're working on. Even if you don't use these items, someone someday might and anything having to do with the preparation of food should be kept indefinitely food safe. If not for the safety, then only to call it a complete restoration it should be restored as if you were to use it
I agree. Let's see this redone for exactly that reason, and have a big block over this video that redirects people to the new video. Or delete this video and completely replace it with the new one (or maybe using clips from here that don't get in the way of Apple Pi's point).
I own one of these! Passed down to me from my grand-mother. It is in great shape and still usable after all these years. (No rust!)
that shoe!!!!! 😄😁
🤣👍
What about it?
My grandfather had one of those and would use it at the end of the week to grind up all the left over cooked meat to make a hash for Friday night supper. Whatever meat was left over went into the hash, but it was mostly chicken and pork that was used.
Почему красная? Как пожарный гидрант) Отзеркалить ее и вообще люкс было бы)
Тоже считаю, что покраска была лишней.
А подскажите что это?
Это мясорубка!

thank you so much 😊
"That's cool," said Zaphod, "we'll meet the meat."
We just rescued a load of stuff from our neighbour's shed - he was moving house and was going to sell all his old junk for scrap, but we saved it. There's lots of stuff, generally wood and metal working tools, but also a leatherworking sewing machine, several sets of scales, six typewriters of various sizes (some of which look very promising) and a whole load of mincers and grinders like this. And to all the critics out there, there are at least 4 painted ones, some of which are enamelled on the inside too. All I need now are some machine tools and time, and I can get them grinding again (I am veggie though so I would probably use them for falafels and nut roasts more than anything!).
LOL hmmm now I know where they get the base sound for the Tardis.
?🤷♂️
@@TysyTube Doctor Who est un personnage célèbre de la télévision britannique depuis les années 1960. Son véhicule spatial s'appelle le Tardis, dont le moteur fait beaucoup de vacarme.
Close. It was actually a house key repeatedly run against some springs in the 60’s. You should watch An Adventure in Space and Time, very interested how they pulled it off with 60’s tech and not much money 😊
Обожаю смотреть Ваши видео! У Вас золотые руки!
Hmm i can taste the food, paint and patina.
you do?
We have this exact model, still in use today, it was bought second hand in America in a thrift store and brought back to England with my wife's mother's family.
Do you use the restored things? :D
No😊
TysyTube Restoration oh you sell them? Anyway I’m always fascinated when I watch you restore things 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
because i am so attached to the that i don’t want to damage them
i will because i running out of space 🤣
TysyTube Restoration hahaha okay I get it.🤣
Very nice work again! I love using the wire brush attachments, they are far more fun than they should be.
I love using them too. Even though I took a large section off the top of my finger. It won't keep me from still using it
The first 20 seconds: don't worry babe, I'll take care of you
My mother and grandmothers made delicious food using a thing like that! After use, before you wash it, "clean" it by grinding one or two slices of old bread, it will absorb most of the grease.
This is what I watch when I'm suicidal 😂. Somehow and this is just something that comes me down. Thanks!
Whatever keeps you with us buddy.
Both my mother and my grandmother had one of these. My mother would have me do the grinding for what she called "groundhog" (ham or bologna, peppers, onion and celery) she would then season it and add mayo and mustard. Other times she would have me grind up leftover chicken or turkey and would make croquettes. Thanks for the memories.
Блииин, лучше бы ты её не красил. Полированная лучше бы смотрелась
Во во и я о том же.советские мясорубки не красились никогда.из пищевых соображений.
Такой же комент хотел написать
My mother bought the meat and the only "volunteer" to grind it with that machine was I. Everyone abandon the house! It was not dirty not smelly it was tough work for a kid specially with those fibrous pieces that became ungrindable and you have to reverse it disassemble the darn thing to dislodge the fibers. Many memories of good food out of that old mother's companion. Great meat loafs, lasagnas, spaghetties, elbows, and many many dishes mmm!
I give this a "C". So much more could have been done. The Cherry red paint over the heavy porous metal doesn't look right at all and simple filler and a little sanding would have made the finish pop.
I just bought the same one for 12 bucks at an antique shop! Nice job!
At 7:44 where do you get that polishing wheel?
This dude sure does Love Irritable bowel syndrome IBS
Not my mother; my grandmother. She was from Ukraine and did her cooking by hand. Fantastic cook; I thought all grandparents were like mine. Too bad for many other people... Anyway, one of her cooking aids was a HUGE chopper/grinder something like the one here, but much bigger and with several cutting-disk attachments to allow different size chopping, from chunks to hamburger. When I was with her as a child (they lived only a few blocks from my home and were my brother and my babysitters for most of our childhoods, luckily for us!), I was her "trusted assistant" and did such things as cranking the chopper -- I had to stand on a chair when I was little -- and so forth. Lots of fun and I got to taste a lot of things first, right from the oven. Heaven on earth!
Silence hill called they want their pyramid can opener back
In my house we have exactly the same food chopper (I thing I will do a restoration like yours) it was from my grandmother. Still remember chopping corn to do some typical local food (I live in northeast of Brazil, we have a strong religious culture and we celebrate saint John in June 24th, corn based foods are typical from the season, corn was historically the main harvest for this part of the year). Great video!
Nice job restoring it to functionality, not a big fan of the gloss red though. :/
Stupid
You know who would love this?
