Like trades " I built that building over there" every time you drive anywhere lol

Along with that, adding a ground connector would be a good idea, since it's entirely metal and a single loose wire could charge the entire shell.

The danger makes the waffles taste all the better

Unless you have a 110V outside supply, grounding would be of no use. Here in the UK you would need a 230-110 volt transformer to power the cooker, which would have its own ground for the 230V side. The 110V wire and an eath connection would not conduct any current. 110V is far less dangerous than 230V anyway, and would be unlikely to cause serious injury or death

@@lloydpenfold486 you guys are speaking another language I swear

I agree that by todays standards it's required to have an earth connection to the metal, so that it trips the fuse immediately if for some reason the exposed mains wiring in these heating elements or anything else makes contact to the metal. Not unreasonable that grease or dough finds a way inside and make a connection. I guess if you use a safety transformer and just restore it as a showpiece that only got used once for the video, it's fine to leave it as it is.

@@lloydpenfold486 That Chinese transformer could be an autotransformer though, in which case an earth connection would make perfect sense. You can still buy those "iron connectors" with side earth springs, so earthing would be very easy and reversible, just use a different lead and the original one is for display only.

@@lloydpenfold486 I’m not talking about circuit ground. Ground as in protective earth (PE). Even with a transformer the aluminium “case” needs to be grounded (PE) to avoid electric chock if the live wire gets damaged, be it 110V or 230V. The fuse won’t trigger if there ain’t no short circuit. If you touch the sink or anything grounded you will get toasted unless you have a ELCB in your system.

Dude that's badass, howd you get into a hobby like that?

@@stockingsstuffer6302 He just likes waffles that much

The toaster in my kitchen is a Sunbeam Radiant Heat Control toaster from the late 50s, makes fantastic toast, a stonking 1500 watts, after doing two slices twice you can't touch it, but I want toast done right, unlike the stupid government toasters you buy now.

@@stockingsstuffer6302 Many years ago I was renting an old apartment in Los Angeles and I found two very old toasters in back of a cabinet. I was fascinated by them and I guess that's how it all started. I've always been fascinated by very early electrical systems and early gadgets and my collection was born! A kind of nostalgia, I guess. 😁

@@KimiRaikkonen123 I do! 😁

That's what I was thinking!

Yeah, this comment needs to be pinned.

on the other hand if he's like 50 years old, worst case scenario is he misses out on a few hands of gin rummy at the retiremnt home

Yeah... I use to play with it as a kid. We all did. And we're still here. All of us...

@@stephanedorion992 That's great. But completely false in regards to "all of us" Perhaps you should look up "mesothelioma " ... and perhaps my grandfathers death from it was just a lie and he's still here?

@@maxximos2960 So the respiratory irritation in a large percentage of those exposed and the cancer catalyst sites generated by the particles that cause an early death to a high reletively high percentage of those exposed is all bs?

ok furry Mhmm, well said, Kahn! I just absolutely can't find any hate on these *real* restoration channels and their attention to detail...I really love my mechanics because he is just-...he's the best of the best when it comes to using the lathe imo

If you're in the UK Waitrose has started doing it. Apparently.

@mark goldspink thank you, I am in rural Scotland, so it'd have to be a big city, but I'll check it out if I can. The apricot one is delightful.

@@xxPenjoxx try to find the black Cherry one! That’s smashing.

Looks more like something from the 30s to me. But I'm 100% positive he knows more about this sort of thing than I do.

I was thinking about that too! It makes sense though because not only do waffles have a unique shape, if people in older times did not own a full stove, waffles were a handy alternative to pancakes, their shape making them able to stay steady inside of a small device without making a mess. So what may be considered fancy now actually had a very practical utility for less well-off homes.

I think it's called copying My Mechanics!

Yes nice

When things were made to last almost forever lol

The next one is hard to restore. I need time, sorry 😘

@@OldThingsNeverDie- take your time Master ✌

Like he had said, it's capuccino, but een I like it, i'm not sure about this one in particular XD

The small amount of mass lost after a few minutes in caustic soda, before rinsing it off, is negligible mate.

He doesn't seem all to concerned about removing material from the parts to begin with.

Definitely not properly crimped. I'd also feel a lot better if the metal case was electrically grounded

Came to see if anyone else had already commented on this. Potential hot connection there, no good.

Yes, if you put the wire under the screw anyway, why bother with the spade crimps in the first place?

Thank you 🙂

@@TheSourOnion Done 😉

Great job 👌. With a very tasty result

Yes very cool 😎

It’s the whole purpose of the channel…lol

@@ravneetbhogal2569 and they said that’s cool…? 😂

Lol bro got two womens here😅.. Where's your cup of coffee?

that is asbestos i think

@@dwho3 I thought it might have been that

Yes very cool 😎

Exaclty what i thought as well.

@@zwapz at work I do asbestos and Chromium 6 & Lead inspections. So I can quickly assess if something is suspicious or it's free from asbestos or chromium6/lead. Take the fact in this video that is seems to made before 1995 and the probability of asbestos being present is already high. Especially since it has a heat element in it and therefore requires insulation.

It sure looked fiberous... could have been asbestos

Considering how old the product is then it most likely is asbestos

​@@Graytail if it had been asbestos i would expect it to be in much better condition because it doesn't decay. this looks like some sort of paper, maybe leather but i don't know how well it takes heat.

I highly doubt it’s asbestos but even if it is, health risks due to short-term exposure to asbestos are low.

@@digressor thats not how asbestos work. even if you inhale only a few crystals, these crystals dont decay within your lungs. eventually, even years after exposure, you will face the dire concequences.
