I love watching your videos they are so relaxing. Also the fact that you do most of the work outside gives it a great sound track of birds singing.

You are lucky for having Avril inspecting restoration.

It's good to see that you have a sensible overseer to keep an eye on you progress.

Beautiful restoration and I am so glad you kept the original wooden handle. I have noticed that you repair rather than replace as much as possible which to me is proper restoration. That was a huge job and it turned out so well. What an ingenious design the way those brass jaws are shaped to squeeze the corks. Just awesome. Love and cuddles to Avril from Australia. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺

I really admire your technique and care for the machines you are restoring. You use every possible original part and make the machine function the way it was originally designed to work. So many of the "restorations" on KZfaq are either re-purposing or simply cosmetic in nature. You do a first rate job.

Another quality, relaxing, productive, and excellent video and restoration. Thank you. You MUST realize how much we love Avril. So calming.

I love that you always show how the machine functions at the end! Awesome job!

Beautiful restore job, and really cool how the cork gets stuffed into a bottle. Awesome! Wow, 10 dislikes at this time?! They must be the ones that don’t own corkscrews.

The person doing the filming has done a FANTASTIC job. It compliments all the hard work put into the work you have done. They have not skipped over the anything important nor have they lingered too long on the mundane parts like screwing and unscrewing, once again FANTASTIC video. Thanks for sharing and keep them coming.

We don’t have much call for these machines in Lancashire, though we are a county better known for rain than sunshine. I've just come home from a very stressful day at work. I came to bed as soon as I got home to use my nebuliser as I’ve been struggling breathing for much of the day. Got my iPad out and saw you’d uploaded and of course I had to watch your new video before anything else. I’m instantly relaxed and at peace with the world, watching you both (?) work is a pure joy and so relaxing. Your videos are always wonderfully laid back but with great craftsmanship. It’s beautiful video restoring what turned out to be a beautiful machine, very well done indeed.

I really appreciate people who breathe new life into old and forgotten things, Great job!

Hello, i am from Argentina, Fascinating Work

Absolutely fabulous work, Bravo! Awesome restoration!, Nice use of re-purposed wood from the old wagon wheel, makes the whole thing look original. Very professional and functional restoration indeed.

The inspector is on the job. 😁

All you conservationists do a wonderful job. Keep going

These videos are the ultimate therapy. So relaxing as well as satisfying seeing historical tools and equipment in such excellent condition when completed. It makes you feel so thankful such inventions were the roots of technology today.

Как же я люблю эти старые, чугунные машины, от которых веет надёжностью и желанием служить вечно своему хозяину. Раньше человек чаще думал о вечности, соответственно и вещи создавал на поколения вперёд. Нынешнему поколению фаст-фуд это не понять.Спасибо за работу.

Like your work the most because you do not remove all scratches and casting marks and do not polish or paint unnecessary.

All that metal to push a cork into a bottle. Old school engineering is fascinating. Great restoration.

I'm so glad you kept its original roughness of the casting; it's somehow more historical and it will show to future generation how thing were made back then, with a lot less smooth edges

Ugh springs are so hard to find nowadays! I hate breaking one ! I’m a black Smith I can make them but argh I don’t like too! A bunch of my work consists of restoring items so I truly enjoy watching! Wow that corker hs been used and cared for those repairs and the wear on that grease plate ! You do beautiful work! Love the kitty supervisor.

You are a miracle man! Restoring those historical machines so they will not be forgotten. Keep up the good work! Greetings from Sweden!

I love seeing a tool brought back to working spec. Beautiful work! Good for another 100 years.

It’s fantastic that you always use the original components of the objects you restore!

this is my favorite youtube channel...all their videos are just overflowing with goodness and humanity. thanks!

Beautiful restoration!! I always wondered how they did it by hand. That brass nut on handle trick.... I'm using that!!!!

Avril is my favorite! He must approve of everything. The best QA guy!

An absolute work of art... Please keep saving old tools/machines

So many things to love about this video, but I especially liked your use of the brass nut as a ferrule on the crank handle! I also appreciated the way you repurposed the wood from the wagon wheel for the new legs for the stand.

Monsieur F.Bitard & Cie of Bordeaux would be proud of you and your excellent job! You're the man of craft, Sir.

I watched the entire rebuild just to see how a corking machine works, very impressive restoration and an impressive machine. The way it compresses the cork is very clever.

What a beautiful machine! Your restorations are always far rustier at the start than any others I watch. This turned out great!

That is really cool! Thank you for showing how it compressed the cork!

That is absolutely fantastic, love the ingenious way it works. Love the way you made the new brass collar for the handle

Very nice restoration. And I love that you kept the original handle and made a new ferule out of a brass nut. Great job,

All these restorations must be a complete adventure for you. What an adventure to watch you work your magic. You probly dont even realize what a wonderful person you are.....

I love the work you did on the stand especially. And also, the brass bits look so good. Brass is such a nice material and it lasts so well, it's a shame we don't use it anymore. Top work as always!

Ingenious Machine and an awesome restoration. Loved watching how it works. Cheers. Love from India

its never tiresome watching you restore these amazing machines

I know it's not possible but I wish I could watch a new video of your work every day of the week and I'm sure I'd never get bored. Simply sublime... bravo et encore!

Outstanding workmanship on something that could have been sent to the scrap heap. A lot of hard work to give a beautiful finish to a very practical tool which I hope will be put to good use, especially if it's for a bottle or two of my favourite Bordeaux wine!

Look forward to more videos of Avril restoring old tools and equipment.

This is my favorite new restoration channel!

Comme ça fait du bien. Merci. Ça repose. Pas de musique, juste le chant des outils et de la matière. Respect du matériel. Continuez !!!

Very nice work! (But now you have to rebuild the wagon wheel...LOL)

Лайк только за то что был раскрыт секрет закрытия бутылок меня всегда интересовал этот факт

Love your abilities, your tools, your supplies... oh, and I love Avril.

Oh that's how a cork gets in the bottles. Great restoration 😃 nice work

16:49 Making a ferrule out of a brass nut is an extremely smart idea. I'm gonna steal that for some of my future projects!

Nice. Really interesting piece of equipment. Ingenious. Another terrific restoration. Very inspiring.

You did a Fantastic Job 👏👍. I love ❤❤ it when Arvil 🐈 has to get up there and do his inspecting to make sure you did it right. 😄 thank you for Sharing. Stay safe. Give Arvil extra Lovings for us.

Nicely done, love that you keep all that can be restored instead of replacing it.

Pourquoi j'aime vos vidéos- elles sont intéresentes, et informatives. J'aime l'ambiance, les petits détails, la vitesse, et la tranquilité, et aujourd'hui le travail avec le bois. Merci encore. Je pensais de mettre le 'cork' mais c'etait prendre (remove). J'en ai jamais vu ça. ✌🏻️

Checking the parts with a Cat Scanner for defects.......very professional. 10 out of 10. :-)

Magnificent! As Stuart said, I appreciate the fact that you repaired the original wood. Hi to Avril. Keep up the good work!

Great restoration and I'm gladcAvril is still doing her job. Really nice seeing it work

Cool. Now you need your own vineyard. ;-)

Absolutely brilliant. Great restoration as always, you're a true craftsman and I always enjoy watching you videos. Good to see Avril as well, such a cute cat.

amazing job glad to see you reused the wooden handles i hate it when they break them and throw the original ones away

I'm always here for Avril and the perfect outcomes. Amazing work!

Superb job very well done. Bravo

bonjour c'est absolument incroyable!!! je regrette l’époque de ce genre de machines qui étaient costaud et qui étaient faite pour durer.la preuve malgré toutes ses années, une restauration et hop..elle repart pour 100 ans.Ce qui n'est plus le cas de nos machines d'aujourd'hui...d'ailleurs c'est simple je me refait une collection de vieux outils que je restaure aussi et qui me servent lorsque je bricole.et y a pas photo!!!nos ancetres savaient fabriquer du durable.bravo!!

I love the way you restore these objects sympathetically, so they don't lose any of the original looks. Oh, and Avril is adorable.

Excellent restoration, your sharing your time (and Avril's) is much appreciated, thank you

Awsome! Looks like Avril are looking forward to some fine whine to the grilled mices... :)

A restauração ficou excelente 🇧🇷🇧🇷 parabéns 👍

Masterpiece... ty Love your cat, very curious and enjoy watching him walk around all the pieces.

Great restoration, a really neat job. I used to operate one these when I worked for a wine merchant, bottling wines & sherry in a railway arch under Waterloo station 55 years ago. Thanks for showing

This man knows what he's doing and works incredibly hard. I love these videos!

Et en plus ça marche !!! Bravo, magnifique j adore les gens qui donnent une 2e vie aux choses. 😁👍

i like to watch restoration videos to help with anxiety, but when i don't know if someone is damaging the project by mistake it makes it really hard to relax! since I know absolutely nothing about restoration or repair, i never know if someone is doing the correct thing. luckily i can just look to the comments to see if people have gripes with the restoration process. that's how I can trust you handle your projects with as much care as you seem to the untrained eye to be handling them. you so rarely have negative feedback! thank you for being tender and thoughtful with your projects and making your videos so relaxing with nice clean audio. and tell avril i love her/him!

I am very impressed that you have a CAT scan of all the parts before reassembly.

Great machine and great restauration! :-D I always have to watch twice, this is so relaxing, i fall asleep and miss the second half.... :-D Thx for the vid!

Great job! As always, I'm grateful that you show the machine in action. Ingenious design. Looks like Avril has been promoted to Senior Quality Inspector. 😆

What a elegantly designed and beautifully restored machine.

What a beautiful machine. You did a fantastic job. Your little Avril looks just my little Missy 😺

Avril the supervisor! I have had cats in the past do the same thing. Making sure the humans are on the ball.

Первый раз увидел, как ставят пробки. Отличная работа.

I have a cat that is the overseer of cleaning his tidy box, and he's the same color as Avril. Love the results of your work, well done.

Exceptional craftsmanship. Very well done, thank you.

Cool! Now I am familiar with Avril! Thank you! I like, how you work!

Definitely never seen this tool before. Love it! And I love that you put the effort in to save the handles 🍺

Super cool, I just bought my first corker this year to bottle my homemade wine. Your corker looks cooler.

That is a beautiful machine, and you restore it with respect and love. Thank you for the video. Congrats!

Great. Belo trabalho. Congratulations. I'm from Brazil.

Great work, and your cat was so helpful. They were also used until the mid 1960s to cork bottled beers and stout.

Nice work! That was a cool machine!!

Your restoration work is the best 👍👍👍👍🤝🤝🤝🤝

Another beautiful old machine brought back to life, and I really like that you guys used reclaimed wood to make an original stand - great job! 👏👏👏

Très belle restauration. J'ai finalement compris comment un gros bouchon de liège rentre dans un petit goulot de bouteille, "compression" facile mais je n'y avais jamais pensé. Avril surveille bien ces bonhommes il ne faut pas qu'ils oublient qui est le chef des travaux finis.

Excellent.One of the best Restorers on You Tube.

Amazing, I know some local wine and cider producers in my country who still use this machine. These're built to last.

Notif Squad ;) 9:08 Philippine Standard Time (watching this kind of late at night here in the PH)

Totally amazing. The ancestors were brilliant and you returned to life. Thumbs up

Your hand tell me alot, fine woodwork, oak legs, lovely restoration. Thank for letting us in.

Absolutly fantastic. What a beautifull machine. The thoughts of its design all those may years urlier would have been strenuous. A marvelous rebuild, done expertly well. Thanls for the view.

Отличная работа! Любая легальная винокурня оторвет с руками))) А м.б. и краеведческий музей😆😆😆

What a cool old Tool!!..Nicely done :]

I love looking at things being taken apart that you're a pretty haven't been taken apart before. This was a really good job lots and lots of pieces you did an excellent job restoring this!
