I was home on leave years ago from the ROK. When I returned, I had 2 kilos ( 4 pounds) of ground coffee. I got it from across the river in Mexico, good, strong brew. The CO loved it.
Finally!! Someone who knows how to put a spring back in a case!! None of that winding it and holding it and putting a zip strap on it to hold it in size to try and put it in.. great job!
love this one. I really enjoyed your talk at CPS the other week, and I'm enjoying your channel, Restoration videos are my ASMR before bed, I'm so glad to have found a local channel.
What a great ending to an excellent restoration video-well done Richard. What a genuine smile and response-like a 60 yr old child at Christmas. God bless.
I appreciate your comment and enthusiasm! It's always great to find simple solutions that don't rely on technology. Kerosene and freshly roasted coffee definitely make for a unique experience.
I’m just blown away at each of these magnificent restorations on all these restoration channels at the craftsman ship and the dedication to restore these artifacts back to working order you guys just leave me speechless I’m like wow spectacular I just have no words
To begin with: Excellent and marvellous job on the restoration process, sir! I never knew that these types of coffee bean roaster even existed. Your passion and patience truly paid off, the roaster now has a new lease on life thanks to you! What a jewel of true craftsmanship this simple yet ingenious machine is! Back in the days, appliances were honorably well-built and designed to last forever. Modern appliances are fitted with multiple points of failure which take destructive action once the two-year warranty ends.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled that you enjoyed the restoration process and discovered something new. It's amazing to see how craftsmanship from the past still holds up today.
Хай-тек ! Винтаж ! В то время не было таких увлекательных зрелищ , как ваше , и люди находили отдохновение в обычных , для них, вещах и процессах. Получил несравненное удовольствие от вашей работы. Спасибо .
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that you found entertainment and inspiration in my content. It's comments like yours that motivate me to keep creating!
Lovely! I used to restore antique horsedrawn carriages and frequently found information related to manufacturers doing searches on Google Books. I found snippets of information on the Savage Company in trade journals there, one items was from 1926. There is address info, etc. The last restoration was a gorgeous little buggy that I found a maker name on the axles. I found city directories, etc. on Google Books that allowed me to date the construction of the running gear within 10 years by tracing company history and name changes. I love following your restorations, thank you for sharing!
I really appreciate your kind words and support! It's great to know that my restorations resonate with fellow enthusiasts like you. Thank you for following along!
From The British Trades Directory, 1915: under the heading 'Coffee Mill Makers", Savage & Co. 28 Love lane, Eastcheap EC: works, 8, 9 & 10 Hardwidge St., Snow's Fields SE. EC and SE were postal districts in London. I cannot find any other references with a simple search - the usual method is to investigate the same book title published in different years, but it seems that they haven't all been digitised yet. A most enjoyable video - thanks!
that's cool and neat 😊😊 IVE heard of them it's the 1ST time I have seen 1 in use 😊😊 and the should taste alot better than what it did a richer flavor indeed 😊🎉 OMG 9 26 2O23
I had to subscribe to your channel !! I love your work I have watched about 6 of your videos and finally decided to comment ....excellent work and you have a lovely home in the video of the Coal Shuttle!!
Awesome! Thank you! I do a lot of restorations for free for museums and that was a living museum where you can visit and buy scones and cakes made in the coal range and cups of tea😀
You may have a one of a kind piece there. As i have been searching for close to 3 hours and have not found a single scrap of evidence that this piece ever existed let alone the companys name. But this turned out wonderful just the same. I remember working at a coffee house and roasting the coffee beans i could smell the beans roasting now.
Hi Charlmlane thanks for looking , i lost count of the hours looking myself .I did find mention of it in a English cookbook from the 1880s of a wind-up coffee roaster in London
Wonderful job. Some 35 odd minutes went by in a breeze, and definitely NOT the same as "watching paint dry"! For reference: 23:45 😇 Nowadays most people buy their coffee today already roasted and ground to suit their needs. Not that I am complaining - it is convenient - but perhaps the old ways were better. I bet that coffee tastes amazing! ☕
Hi Richard I was amazed at thecage of the clockwork coffee maker, you had lots of work to do to take it apart it looked very fiddly. When you put it back together it looked magnificent and unique. Richard you are very talented and clever at everything you do to restore the items you get. Did the coffee taste nice? Amanda xx
I believe the roaster is from an Australian coffee shop. The Australians used to have coffee clubs similar to a pub, but with coffee instead of beer in the 1880's and 90's.
You did a wonderful job restoring this roaster I do have a question? Why did you make new handles the old ones just looked like they needed refinished ?
Hi thanks for watching the video and enjoyed it , The reason why I made two handles is because one was missing and I couldn't match the timber so therefore I had to make two handles but I have saved that handle for another project that's coming up, I love the Patina on the handle and it will give some instant age to the project, cheers Richard
@@richardrestorations Oh ok totally understand now ! How was the first cup of coffee out of it? How does that coffee pot work never seen one with beans in the bottom always been a basket inside thanks for the reply
I was listening to the gentleman at the end and thinking 'Aussie or Kiwi' ? but I concluded Kiwi..then looked in the 'About' for your channel info and it was confirmed, Kiwi..very nice job you did and I was wondering if they run a coffee shop, because that's where that gadget belongs, whether in use or as just display, bt it's nice it works..
huh, was poking around and found an early 1800s roaster that looked a little like the one you restored here. the company was out of Austria. but nothing with the word "London" closest i could find to that (other than England) was in North Carolina. but i think the company there is very new.

@@richardrestorations Can you buy raw coffee beans in the UK?
@@nixxonnor Yes. You'll need to find a specialty shop or an online supplier. But that said, the city I live in has many sources for unroasted beans.

Thank you Richard you're the first one to give me a super thanks in two years😍
@@richardrestorationsI would love to add a link to your Savage makeover. Would that be OK with you. You have given me a roadmap to rebuild my Savage.
I’m wondering if you could give me info on where you got your brass nuts. I would like to do the same for mine
This is a great restore. I am fortunate to own one of these clockwork roasters. One of my earliest coffee roasters.
