1860s Starrett Food Chopper [Restoration]

The restoration is on the oldest tool I have worked on so far for KZread. This is a food chopper or hasher patented by L.S. Starrett (of Starrett tool fame) in 1865. It was one of his first patented inventions. You can see the patent here: patents.google.com/patent/US4...
At the time of production, this was used mainly to dice meat in to smaller pieces at a much faster pace than doing it by hand. The rich or businesses would find this affordable as it sold for $10 USD in 1869, which is equivalent to ~$2000USD in 2020.
I found this tool about two years ago and wanted it for my personal collection. Since this piece was not a commission, I was able to do whatever I liked with it during the restoration process. With that in mind, I purposely did not remake any wooden pieces as they had a very attractive pattern on them from years of use. With that decision made, it would look odd to remake the damaged bucket as well, so that was just repaired and left as found.
The parts were dunked in Evapo-Rust to reveal what colour and where the original paint was. The only painted part seemed to be the bucket base. The bucket and its base both showed some bright blue paint on the hidden seem where they meet. I am not sure why this colour was there or if it even was paint.
The main castings were all cleaned and had their bores enlarged to accept bronze bushings. There was just too much play all over the machine to make sure it functioned properly, so it had to be done.
The restoration decisions on this tool were very hard to make as I wanted to respect the age and inventor while also maintaining a specific look. Hopefully I achieved a nice balance of those two.
There were MANY different variations of this tool in images online probably due to many production changes over time as the production shifted from Starrett himself to the Athol Machine Co. over time. If someone ever makes a "type study" for this tool, I will be greatly appreciative.
I would like to thank Evapo-Rust for sponsoring this video.

    I almost never reply to videos, but had to admit my "Laugh Out Loud" moment when you did the "Vanna-White-esque" hand reveal of the wooden handle after the the potentially devastating incident of the drill chuck catching and coiling the rag. I know those moments of instantaneous regret and recoil very well from my years in shops. :) Kudos for finding a way to keep it in the video - demonstrate the danger - and still make us laugh.

    I always like your restorations, because you let the piece feel like it's already lived a good life. You can still feel it was used and exposed to the elements, and the wood is allowed to have an imperfect color. It's like taking your grandma out for new clothes, instead of shoving your grandma into a rejuvenation machine. Some restoration channels make the end result look so shiny and spotless, there's no way it looked like that when the previous owner received it.

The foundry work alone was off the charts (didn't see much casting marks, flash or anything for that matter). That lever arm is a beauty and took some engineering to get it just right. No wonder they cost 3-5 years salary at the end of the civil war!

    dude, I cringed when the drill ate the rag.. I broke my thumb when my glove got eaten that way. never doing that again. Lucky, I have an underpowered drill press, it just stopped instead of wrapping my whole arm around.... We all need to be careful, especially with machines like the beasts that you use... good job on this. curious about how the springs hold the pins in. haven't seen that much, especially for old machines like this one.

    I've seen someone who had their hand partially de-gloved while wearing gloves and interacting with a lathe. No gloves near spinning machine tools please. Even if it's not you and it's someone else. It's absolutely disgusting and horrible to see. If you don't know what type of de-gloving I am talking about and you aren't squeamish feel free to Google Human hand de-glove

    Suggestion...I am a woodturner and as a general rule, turners use paper napkins to do what you tried to do with the rag. They shred instantly if they snag and your hands/fingers stay safe. Love your videos...your work is excellent.
