Thank you, I feel honored that you shared your talent and vision!!!❤
Thanks, man! I'm pretty curious about how well it works too - I'll definitely test it out on camera once I can obtain some of those elusive non pitted cherries haha
Nice job Bro! I love how your paintjobs turn out! The fact that the „wheel“ touches the body at the end isn’t too bad, it just shows that these beauties weren’t built perfect back in the days. So it’s legit :-) And I want to see a video with you, pickin some cherries and testing this beast 😄
Thanks, man! Yeah, they certainly weren't perfect, I guess they were going for function over perfection. I will definitely do a video of this thing in action - I'm very interested in how well it works! If it ends up well and you need a significant quantity of cherries pitted you know who to call 😆
@@randomrestoration6858 I would think that they left them loose like that so they wouldn't jam up and stop working. And the fact that they made them for a long time would suggest that they worked as advertised bro. I have a couple of them and they still work too. Great job.
Welcome to the channel, thank you very much, Stan! I'm pretty excited for the next two projects, and they're coming along nicely so fart at least haha. Thanks a lot for watching!
Nice! Never would have guessed it was a cherry pitter - my grandma's cherry pitter has a punch-down arm - punches the pit out the bottom and then the cherry drops off the punch down the back into a bowl. Whoever got a pit in their cherry cobbler had to do the dishes - I just swallowed the one or two that I found in mine.
Eating a cherry pit or doing dishes is not too difficult of a decision in my books hahaha. I’ve seen the style of pitter you’re referring to. I wonder which design is better? This one is definitely designed to do a lot of pitting in a short time. I’ll have to test it out once I get my hands on some cherries!
@@randomrestoration6858 I am interested to see what state the cherries are in after pitting - the plunge-type pitter I used left an X in the entry side and a small ragged hole on the exit. It looks to me like that pitter you restored might kind-of tear the cherry in half? It might well be much quicker to use, though. The plunge pitter wasn't terribly quick - and in a pie/cobbler nobody looks at the cherries and says, "I won't eat it! These cherries don't look neatly pitted."
@@JAdams-jx5ek I would guess they do get a bit mangled in the process, but like you said, as long as the cherries don’t need to be neatly displayed in some manner they should be fine!
Thanks a lot! I do have the wooden base (complete with screws) it was attached to - It's in rough shape, but intend on salvaging/restoring it and reattaching this in the future. Thanks a lot for watching!
I appreciate it, Bill! It's a pretty cool piece - I still haven't actually given it a proper test with cherries since I was so busy this year, but I'm sure it'll still do the job nicely after all these years of use. Thanks for watching!
I have antique sea fork. (Large pitch fork and regular size, and very old sledge hammerhead, old lead shot mold, to restore. Full chest of tools also needs restoring and placed back in original tool cupboard with many drawers. I refurbished the oak cub bard yrs ago…. Gorgeous!
Beautiful restoration! I love the color choice. I appreciate your sense of humor. You make me laugh! Onion soup HA! Fired from your dental office and you didn't even work there! 🤣
Hahaha thank you for the kind words, Tammara! That onion soup may have questionable ingredients, but it makes up for it with how delicious it is hahah.
I cannot work out how a wheel going round and round puts a hole in and not grind it up! That has to be the must have gadget of it's day! Not a video to watch in bed, I kept laughing out loud!! A little plea, from me. Please can the words be a bit bigger or on for a little longer, I had to keep pausing or rewinding (if I was too slow) to read your comments. Amazing work x.
I still haven't tested it out to see how efficiently it pits the cherries, so there's no guarantee that this specific pitter doesn't totally mangle the cherries in the process hahaha. I've slightly increased the text size, and (for the most part) leave text on screen for longer in more recent videos, but it could certainly still use some improvement. Thanks a lot for watching!
I really enjoy your comments... would you keep them on the screen a bit longer so that I do not miss any of them? I am so focused on the work that I do not catch the words quickly.
Thanks for the feedback! I've attempted to increase the amount of time text is on the screen on my more recent videos. It's still not 100% perfect, but much it's better than in older videos like this one. Thanks again!
Since this is a cherry pitter, and cherry juice will be dripping down and caught in a bowl, you should use an edible oil to lubricate the wheel, otherwise you will be contaminating the cherries and cherry juice.
You are very correct, Ross! I’ve had a couple of recommendations about both lubricating the wheel and applying a food safe grease to prevent the wheel and hopper from rusting. I still haven’t done either of those things because I’ve been too busy, but one day it’ll be done haha.
Hi again, time for my commentary! As always, love the work! I'm starting to think you work for Dremel given the number of those abrasive buffs you run through lol! Serious ideas though: 1. For the nuts and bolts, hot blueing would give a nice clean look, and you wouldn't have to worry about damaging paint with tool marks. (on the nuts/bolts, anyhow) 2. For lubrication and protection for the unpainted surfaces, a food grade machine lubricant, like Petrol Gel. 3. Tool idea, for the larger components you could probably skip the abrasive buffs and go straight to the wire wheel on the bench grinder, to save some time and money
Hahaha yeah I go through a lot of those buffs! I absolutely agree about bluing, and will definitely be bluing more items in the near future - especially screws/nuts since it hold up way better than when they're painted. Great recommendation. I still haven't applied any sort of protection around the unpainted surfaces, but luckily it hasn't shown any signs of rusting yet. I'll absolutely look into Petrol Gel and maybe get those areas protected ion the near future. I agree with you there! With the project I'm working on now I found myself doing the same thing. I even buffed some parts then threw them back into the rust remover. Then I buffed them again and followed all of that up with wire wheeling. What was I thinking hahaha? It was a lot of wasted time, and I'll definitely skip the buffs more and more in upcoming restorations. Thanks for watching!
Interesting device, not technically advanced but still useable today. Many items today require electricity and barely make it the end of their warranty period before they fall apart and are trashed. This thing is over a 100 years old and can still do M its primary function. Nicely done, sir very nicely done indeed.
I completely agree with you there, Paul. This may not be advanced, and the casting may not have been the best, but after all these years it's still perfectly functional!
Hey thanks a lot for the suggestion! I'll definitely look into getting some for future restorations - Nothing sucks more than mangling your fresh paint job haha. Thanks for watching!
@@randomrestoration6858 They are available on Amazon an other places in variety packs with many sizes. Plus they are easy to cut and customize. It's easy to make square ones if you prefer. There are also water resistant versions.
Thanks a lot! Haha yeah since this video I have simmered down a bit with the comm3entary, as it was pretty distracting in some of my previous videos, this one included. Thanks a lot for watching!
You added a washer to protect the paint, truthfully you should ALWAYS place a washer over a slotted hole, paint or no paint! 😊 PS: I was disappointed with the lack of cherries too!
Agreed! I reckon if there were washers there originally it wasn't too surprising that they had disappeared after all these decades! One day I'll get my greasy mitts on some cherries and get them pitted with this hahaha. I'm really curious to see how efficient it is at pitting. Thanks for watching!
Hi all, I hope you enjoy today's video! If there's anything you'd like to see me do differently in future restorations leave a comment and let me know, I'll gladly take suggestions. Thanks for watching!
Too bad there wasn't a way of shimming the wheel so it wouldn't float but overall very nice restoration and great choice of colors. I love the black contrast on the red background. Very tastefully done. You earned my sub.
Thank you very much, Amanda! I reckon there are a few ways I could stop the wheel from floating, but I’d have to find the best subtle fix, as I’d like to keep it looking as original as possible. Thanks a lot for watching!
It's a good question, someone did leave a comment that it's likely that some movement is intentional since it can move side to side which allows for different sized cherry pits, but it moves quite a lot as is haha. Thanks a lot for watching!
Oye, esto es para deshuesar cerezas. No pude encontrar cerezas en esta época del año, así que tendré que hacer una prueba en el futuro. ¡Muchas gracias por mirar!
Wonderful red finish! One thing though... If you had found some cherries, the moving parts would have to be lubricated with Food-Safe grease. The type used here would have been toxic if ingested. Above all else, a great restoration.
Thank you, Alex! I will test this in the future, and if I ever use it for anything food related I will certainly use food safe grease. Thanks a lot for watching!
It’s true. This is such a cool little tool - stylish, simplistic, reliable, and it likely works quite well to top it off. Though I still have to give it a proper test at some point to see whether that last point is true or not!
I did think about that, but in person it really appeared to be paint rather than residue from cherries. I can’t say for sure I’m correct though haha. Thanks for watching!
Good skills indeed, but it is too new now. I feel that simply cleaning and oiling it would have be good for the purpose and with the right patina to tell its story. However, good work!
Good question, It would indeed! Due to lack of space I don't have a sandblaster currently, but plan on getting one (along with a number of other tools) asap. With that said, one benefit to rust remover on certain items is that it's able to soak into screw holes and crevices that a sandblaster couldn't reach.
For this project I used a five gallon bucket of Evapo-Rust for the rust remover. Then I used “Aircraft Paint Remover” for the paint stripper. I can’t remember which paint I used, but it was simply spray paint primer and spray paint base coat that I bought on Amazon. Thanks again for watching!
Was good but personally would’ve liked to seen you try to sand/file out the casting imperfections better - some of the other channels on here go hard with it and can get crazy results
Thanks, Paul! Due to the age of this piece I really wanted to keep it more original looking than not, but some of my more recent restorations (such as the lead cutter) I definitely went all out to remove as many imperfections as possible. Thanks a lot for watching!
Indeed, it did appear to be a bit different shade. Once I gain more room for my restoration I'll start mixing my own paint rather than trying to match colors with the paint I'm currently using. Thanks for watching!
Why did you not use washers to prevent the paint from being chipped off while tightening screws? I though you saw the washers when you took it apart. Nevermind, you did add washers later. The contrast of the black tipped fasteners made the whole thing "pop".
Haha, well I can admit that I was having a hard time deciding whether to use washer or not since the washers and spacers seen during disassembly weren't original to the piece. Thanks a lot for watching!
Every time I’ve needed square nuts I’ve found them on eBay. There are all sorts of materials and sizes that various sellers have that you should be able to find exactly the ones you want! Hahaha that’d be a pretty unique acorn tree. Thanks for watching!
I bet you're correct - It's pretty adjustable for different sized pits, though I still have yet to test it out after all this time to see how well it works haha. Thank you for watching!
I don’t think this is as old as you think. I think it is an Indian reproduction. The castings are rough and not well done. The wing nuts are cast, not forged. The screws are modern, and the original handle might have been wood. Lovely restoration, though, whatever its’ history.
Hey, James, thanks a lot for the comment! A bit of a long response upcoming, so apologies for the book I have written hahaha I do believe this to be an original, but finding an exact date is impossible unfortunately as they were made for quite a few years. The casting is horrendous in areas, so I see where you're coming from! One thing that I've noticed with all of these that I've seen for sale is that they're almost always slightly different in some way. Some of them the legs are riveted on, some of them have screws instead of wingnuts, some have rough looking cast legs, with the main portion being much better casted. There's even a three legged variant made by the same company which uses wing nuts to hold everything together. I have seen this pattern many times before on items that were made for several decades, as more convenient methods of assembly pop up, suppliers change, etc. the design slightly changes as well. A couple of things: I forgot to note in the video itself is that the screws were all replaced, as the ones that were holding it together were all bent, some more than others. The metal handle is very odd, so I see where you're coming from, but as odd as it is these were all made with a metal handle rather than wood. Weird design choice, but I guess it was cheaper, or maybe they were going for reliability? I can't say for sure. I appreciate the kind words, and I hope this doesn't come off as an argumentative bit of text, as it's not meant to be! I could be wrong with all of this, but I figured I'd talk about what I've found when researching them. Thank you very much for watching, and apologies for the huge response hahaha!
Haha, yeah I've tried balancing the "cinematic shots" and showing the work in progress in my more recent videos, but there are still improvements to be made! Thanks for watching!
Sirve para quitar los huesos de las cerezas. ¡Perdón por no mostrarlo funcionando en la cámara! No había cerezas disponibles para comprar cuando lo grabé, pero lo probaré en una fecha posterior en la cámara. ¡Gracias por ver!
Hahaha there are some captions that I add on that are intentionally way too fast to read without having to go back and pause the video. It’s sort of a bonus wild goose chase for those that are interested. Thanks for watching!
I haven't tried yet, but a couple others have recommended testing them instead of cherries. I'll likely wait to give it a proper test with some cherries in the future. Thanks for watching!
Unfortunately cherries were/are out of season, so I was unable to test it on camera. I will show it in use in a future video for those are interested in seeing it work. Thanks for watching!
Yeah they would have been painted, but aside from that they definitely wouldn't have been sanded to be smooth at all it would appear. Thanks a lot for watching!

¡Muchas gracias!
Anyone else get Dr Doofenshmirtz vibes from his subtitles?
Well rumor has it Doofenshmirtz is indeed my last name, but surely there's no correlation hahaha
It came out nice. I wonder if a bushing is missing on the shaft that would have held the wheel in place and not allow it to hit the sides.
It's a good question, someone did leave a comment that it's likely that some movement is intentional since it can move side to side which allows for different sized cherry pits, but it moves quite a lot as is haha. Thanks a lot for watching!
Great job!! However I would recommend put something on the bare metal to prevent flash rusting.
Thanks, John! I agree, though I still haven't decided what I want to apply to the bare metal even though it's been a couple of weeks.
Excelente restauracion, al final no supe para que es ese molino, será para maiz?
Oye, esto es para deshuesar cerezas. No pude encontrar cerezas en esta época del año, así que tendré que hacer una prueba en el futuro. ¡Muchas gracias por mirar!
Wonderful red finish! One thing though... If you had found some cherries, the moving parts would have to be lubricated with Food-Safe grease. The type used here would have been toxic if ingested. Above all else, a great restoration.
Thank you, Alex! I will test this in the future, and if I ever use it for anything food related I will certainly use food safe grease. Thanks a lot for watching!
No cherries! That's the pits! ;
Haha I’ve been getting an influx of punny comments lately 😆
It’s somehow fitting that there’s pitting in the pitter.
Hahaha you're right, it was meant to be!
like the embellishment details when the parts for this simple machine were cast. don't see this nice stuff these days
It’s true. This is such a cool little tool - stylish, simplistic, reliable, and it likely works quite well to top it off. Though I still have to give it a proper test at some point to see whether that last point is true or not!
nice
Thanks a lot! 🙂
It may not have been red. I have one that is similar. No matter how much I wash it, it is still stained with years of cherry juice.
I did think about that, but in person it really appeared to be paint rather than residue from cherries. I can’t say for sure I’m correct though haha. Thanks for watching!
Good skills indeed, but it is too new now. I feel that simply cleaning and oiling it would have be good for the purpose and with the right patina to tell its story. However, good work!
Fair enough! Thanks a lot for watching!
Would sandblasting not remove the paint and the rust in one go?
Good question, It would indeed! Due to lack of space I don't have a sandblaster currently, but plan on getting one (along with a number of other tools) asap. With that said, one benefit to rust remover on certain items is that it's able to soak into screw holes and crevices that a sandblaster couldn't reach.
Puts paint stripper on it, finds out the cherry pitter was painted cherry red. Oh the irony of the thing being quite irony.
Hahaha right, I thought the paint was going to be black, but I guess it was fitting that it would be that shade fo red haha.
Had one of these many years ago
Very cool. How well did it work if you don't mind my asking? I have to wait a while until I'll be able to give this little fellow a test myself!
@@randomrestoration6858 it worked really well
@@davidstrohmeyer1691 Good to know, thanks for the reply!
nc restore!!
Hey, thanks for watching!
Oh can you list brand and chemical types you used? I can use fine ground hulls to blast off rust, but prefer less mess. Most humbled appreciation!
For this project I used a five gallon bucket of Evapo-Rust for the rust remover. Then I used “Aircraft Paint Remover” for the paint stripper. I can’t remember which paint I used, but it was simply spray paint primer and spray paint base coat that I bought on Amazon. Thanks again for watching!
Классно
Большое спасибо!
If you blend wing nuts for a smoothie I think the unhealthiness will be the least of the problems... A new blender will be needed!
You know the age-old saying: A freshly mangled blender a day keeps the doctor away hahaha
Was good but personally would’ve liked to seen you try to sand/file out the casting imperfections better - some of the other channels on here go hard with it and can get crazy results
Thanks, Paul! Due to the age of this piece I really wanted to keep it more original looking than not, but some of my more recent restorations (such as the lead cutter) I definitely went all out to remove as many imperfections as possible. Thanks a lot for watching!
The original colour appeared to me to be a shade of red called cerise, which literally means 'cherry coloured'. The final hue, not so much.
Indeed, it did appear to be a bit different shade. Once I gain more room for my restoration I'll start mixing my own paint rather than trying to match colors with the paint I'm currently using. Thanks for watching!
Why did you not use washers to prevent the paint from being chipped off while tightening screws? I though you saw the washers when you took it apart.
Nevermind, you did add washers later.
The contrast of the black tipped fasteners made the whole thing "pop".
Haha, well I can admit that I was having a hard time deciding whether to use washer or not since the washers and spacers seen during disassembly weren't original to the piece. Thanks a lot for watching!
I gotta corn shelled and catch bin to restore. Where did u buy square nuts? My acorn tree does not make square nuts…
Every time I’ve needed square nuts I’ve found them on eBay. There are all sorts of materials and sizes that various sellers have that you should be able to find exactly the ones you want! Hahaha that’d be a pretty unique acorn tree. Thanks for watching!
This would also work with olives
I bet you're correct - It's pretty adjustable for different sized pits, though I still have yet to test it out after all this time to see how well it works haha. Thank you for watching!
I don’t think this is as old as you think. I think it is an Indian reproduction. The castings are rough and not well done. The wing nuts are cast, not forged. The screws are modern, and the original handle might have been wood. Lovely restoration, though, whatever its’ history.
Hey, James, thanks a lot for the comment! A bit of a long response upcoming, so apologies for the book I have written hahaha
I do believe this to be an original, but finding an exact date is impossible unfortunately as they were made for quite a few years. The casting is horrendous in areas, so I see where you're coming from! One thing that I've noticed with all of these that I've seen for sale is that they're almost always slightly different in some way. Some of them the legs are riveted on, some of them have screws instead of wingnuts, some have rough looking cast legs, with the main portion being much better casted. There's even a three legged variant made by the same company which uses wing nuts to hold everything together. I have seen this pattern many times before on items that were made for several decades, as more convenient methods of assembly pop up, suppliers change, etc. the design slightly changes as well. A couple of things: I forgot to note in the video itself is that the screws were all replaced, as the ones that were holding it together were all bent, some more than others. The metal handle is very odd, so I see where you're coming from, but as odd as it is these were all made with a metal handle rather than wood. Weird design choice, but I guess it was cheaper, or maybe they were going for reliability? I can't say for sure.
I appreciate the kind words, and I hope this doesn't come off as an argumentative bit of text, as it's not meant to be! I could be wrong with all of this, but I figured I'd talk about what I've found when researching them.
Thank you very much for watching, and apologies for the huge response hahaha!

Good work, but would like see the actual work details rather than moving the parts from one shot to another
Haha, yeah I've tried balancing the "cinematic shots" and showing the work in progress in my more recent videos, but there are still improvements to be made! Thanks for watching!
Que función tiene la maguina no dijeron y no la pusieron a funcionar
Sirve para quitar los huesos de las cerezas. ¡Perdón por no mostrarlo funcionando en la cámara! No había cerezas disponibles para comprar cuando lo grabé, pero lo probaré en una fecha posterior en la cámara. ¡Gracias por ver!
Why do you even put some of the captions in the video when they disappear too quickly to be read?
Hahaha there are some captions that I add on that are intentionally way too fast to read without having to go back and pause the video. It’s sort of a bonus wild goose chase for those that are interested. Thanks for watching!
Try placing your text in the title safe area for those watching on tv monitors.
Would it work with olives?
I haven't tried yet, but a couple others have recommended testing them instead of cherries. I'll likely wait to give it a proper test with some cherries in the future. Thanks for watching!
Why not showing how it works .. And for what it is used
Unfortunately cherries were/are out of season, so I was unable to test it on camera. I will show it in use in a future video for those are interested in seeing it work. Thanks for watching!
Back in those days the parts were prolly straight from the foundry. Sure looks it if not.
Yeah they would have been painted, but aside from that they definitely wouldn't have been sanded to be smooth at all it would appear. Thanks a lot for watching!
Хотелось бы лицезреть функциональность сего агрегата в деле.
Он предназначен для удаления косточки с вишни, но я не проверял, насколько хорошо он работает, ха-ха. Спасибо за просмотр!
