When you had taken all the paint off, all I was thinking was please don’t re-paint it some stupid black or red or some off the wall color. And then you stated that you were going to keep the unpainted look and I was so relieved that finally someone with some freck-ing taste. Way to go my friend.

YES, FINALLY! I’m so tired of seeing people grinding off casting marks, slathering everything with auto body filler and primer, and polishing every flathead bolt until all the edges are rounded over! Thank you, I love the finish.

Love that look!

Everyone is asking "Will Andre do it?" But they never ask "How's Andre doing?"

Finally, someone left a beautiful ornate object unpainted. Love the brass accent. Great work.

I think it looks great with the bare metal and brass! Makes for a great colour combination. Excellent work as always Andre!

My Great Aunt had one very similar to this that she used to make candy, the wheels could change out to make different patterns of candy.

The decorative elements are gorgeous. You made the right choice interesting how much beauty was put into useful tools. Thanks for the rescue. I don't fault you for keeping this. Thank you.

I totally want to see it in action, is it an elaborate cutter for compounded medicines, as in, to make them into 'lozenges'? What a gorgeous bit of history/machinery!! Love your videos, Andre.

Beautiful restoration! Great experiment with a brass wheel. I'm so glad you showed it in use at the end. That was the question on my mind the whole time.

Also useable in the kitchen😆Nice result, restored with love. Greetings from Göttingen🇩🇪

Any engineers here have a small breakdown because the chuck key was left in the lathe?

So beautiful thank you for not gobbing it up with paint and letting the workmanship shine

I like the new look too! Its the case of, if you HAD colored it, it would be just as pretty as if you HADN'T. So great job as always!!

Super job cleaning up that wooden wheel part. It looks brand new. You really should be very proud of all your work.

It looks so nice! I wasn't sure how I felt when you said you were doing something experimental, but I shouldn't have worried. It turned out great. Also, thanks for including the demonstration of how it works! I wasn't sure exactly what it was until then.

Next time heat the material, and the Brass Wheel will apply more brass the the piece, due to a "slight" melting effect. Love your channel guy. 👍🏻

Beautiful color choice for the finish.

Never see such tool before. Splendid ! Great restoration.

What a stunning piece! Great job. It would also look great painted with antique finish!

Lovely job and great choice to go natural with the brushed patina. The natural staining it oiling if the wood. Can you explain the brash brushing? Is there a coating or something you've applied to the brass brush wheel? Or is it a special brass wheel made to do this? Because I've used bronze wheels to remove rust without harming the underlying metal but didn't get that result?

I liked this ornamental machine even before you worked on it. I like the brass. Nice touch.

Looks a lovely piece. Kind of Gothic raised pattern. I love it and having it just clear lacquered is nice. Would also look nice with coloured inlays and bare raised pattern. Well done.

I think you did a pretty good job with this one! Keep up the good work

Awesome work as always Andre!

I really love brassing steel especially when its got texture like that! The brassing on bare steel looks great, the clear coat seems sensible too! I have also seen it done by using a blowtorch on bigger parts to heat the part then using a brass wire hand brush vigorously. The brass wheel seems to give a nice finish though! Very consistent! 👌

Beautiful and brilliant workmanship!👍🏻😊

Good video. The best: no jingle , no backpipe, no "musik".

I bet everyone would like to see your restored machines in Action!

After the number of years its been around, a make over was sorely needed. I might have gone overboard on the color using a red. blue. or black. and highlighted the scroll work in gold or the brass. Thanks again for a great job. Narragansett Bay.

Crazy awesome the brass highlights. Insane idea. I love it.

Amazing restoration job! I was curious about its uses until you showed it! Love the brass and iron look!

So relaxing... no obnoxious copyright free garbage music. Just restoration. Thanks

uhhhh amazing tool restored 👍👍👍 the first time I've seen this type of cutter 👏👏 thanks and amazing work

That's fantastic. You did an amazing job

Ummm...Andre sweetie, we love 💕 a good resto moment, but you must show the sandblasting. Don’t you know that is the most satisfactory part. We like to have a good cleanliness moment, Mkay pumpkin!!!!

I like how you explain as you go.

It looks great in the bare metal, but I also think it would look great in the original colours with the golden ornamentation. thumbs up anyway. 👍👍👍

Oh, I see! A 19th Century Vegamatic. Thanks for demostrating it. I couldn't understand what it was used for.

Nice restoration mate, you did well .

Nice share do not know this devise, however we enjoy it because it is tiny small wins with this micro-machinery operation every time. Very nice restoration. Thank you for the share, Lance & Patrick.

Andre can always do it! 😀👍

Amazing job. Thank you for showing how it works, as this was what I was interested in the most.

Question? Why boiled linseed oil? I just put together some linseed oil and beeswax for preserving some cast iron, Spanish Colonial and was also going to use it on an old wooden mirror frame that I do not want to completely restore. It belonged to my father and his father. Also will use for a wooden knife handle I will make. My first attempt at this stuff. You guys got me addicted.

I like the raw metal look. How’s the pony doing?

Love the bronze idea!

Bacana essas coisas antigas... Parabéns pelo ótimo trabalho 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷😎🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

It looks beautiful. Another perfectly done restoration.

I just started your video Andre and can tell I already like it. I go to the comments before I watch all the video to see what people say and your's are very good. I would love to have the equipment. Congrats.

Glad to see you're uploading regularly again. I think it was a pretty good result! It definitely looks nice. What an unusual machine.

The coloring is elegant.

Yes good job. I'll leave these choises to you, non destructive is my main hope for antiques. Thanks for another fine video. (How's horsie? : -)

I totally agree with the viewer's that say this is a great piece of restoration. Question: What was the purpose of the screws at the bottom of the legs, visual effect? Great work.

If you heat the part before the brass wheel, you get much better coverage! Also how was this "sort of"? It's a damn good job. I have an antique pencil sharpener that uses a similar blade design. It sharpens better than anything made 120 years later. The blade takes a sliver off and knocks a gear that holds the pencil and rotates it for the next slice.

Great 🕶️, great job on restoring this piece of work. I like the finish on it.nice. how you find this. You must have one heck of Scrap yard ? Thank you Andre' keep up the good work and videos coming?

Excellent choice, looks beautiful!

An excellent restoration work .. I'm happy for not using colours on .. One thing I want to know : Which material did they cut ?

Excellent choice to leave it bare metal.

I think Avril is the star of the show (quality control?). Andre does a pretty good restoration too.

I like the brass wheel on raise ornament look as well.

awesome work 😎👍

It would be cool to scan these old items for CNC machines. :)

Well, the restoration itself is very good. However... at 6:35, shouldn't that be linseed oil?

Excellent idea!

My mother, now 77 owns such a machine, she uses it as noodle cutter.

If those blades are anything like the old forged tools I have they must hold a very keen edge after wetting.

What a great machine, would love to own one for chopping up herbs.

TIL a brass wheel can deposit metal onto another metal object

Great job!! Thanks for sharing!!

De France. Magnifique ! Je m' abonne 😘

Excellent Andre , it will be a good helper for the production of dried tea from herbs :) it will be for sale or you keep it ? :)

Noooo the sandblasting is my favourite part!

Looks verry close to a Tobacco cutting machien for me.... nice job congrats...

how does this work? Can you give me an explanation? please

Looks good.

I love yor videos are amazing

Worthy of being in the Smithsonian Museum.

It looks nice, but what is it?

Very good restoration bro 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏

Nice job

I like the Natural color of the Metall

I love it

This is the colors and material I want on my bike.

Andre, you did it

the more I view this the more I say the thing is for tobacco shredding for cigarettes not pill crushing or dividing but what in the heck do I know

brass brushing is easier with a handheld tool, also you should probably torch the steel just before wirebrushing it

Excelente

OH ! I thought the brass coating was a problem haha. I tried cleaning a piece of metal with a brass brush and was surprised by the yellow color.

Cool Restoration but I dont see how this has to do with apothecary.

What is "brass well"?

So what's it do?

My mother used such a machine as a noodle cutter (for uncooked selfmade noodles).

enamel black in the low areas would have looked nice too.

I do enjoy your vids, please keep the coming, but just to correct you, the word is "linseed"

Boa noite Like

I think it is for cutting tobacco as well. The size of the feed tray is very similar to the width of cut tobacco for pipes, You can still get flake tobacco that is cut from a block of pressed and formed tobacco, it is in sheets that you rub between your palms to break up and load into the pipe bowl. This machine would not cut that, but flat pressed cured tobacco leaves would be a breeze for the machine, making a few ounces of any blend or style in a few seconds. I think cutting the tobacco to order would also provide a much fresher taste for smokers. I would love to know for sure what the machine is used for, herbs or tobacco .. I do not think both, because, you would not want the flavor of tobacco in tea or medicine preparations, I do not think.

Very interesting

when using that brass wheel, try about 20 V, @ about 500mA DC, + at the work, - at the wheel.......it may spark a bit, but it Should really brass up those raised surfaces for you.

Weird, veradona did the exact same machine

What's that?
