In this video I restored an old Coffee Grinder, made by 'Clarks & Co.' in England
Age: I guess it´s age to 80-100 years
Restoring time: - around 3 weeks
Facts:
This beauty was made in England, and came with a 'Japanning' Finish. Since there were threads everywhere, i wasn´t able to restore the knob in its original way.
Techniques/materials:
For this restoration I chose two main techniques: hot bluing and 'Japanning'.
I chose hot bluing, because it´s the most natural way of bluing, without using strong chemicals. Why? Because the coffee beans get in contact with the grinder, so I wanted to have it in food grade quality.
'Japanning' is a technique, close to powdercoating, but ways older. You mix tar with turpentine and linseed oil, let it sit for a week, brush it on the bare metal and put it in the oven. After baking in 5 steps the result is pretty resistant and deep black.
I hope you have fun with the video! If you have any questions on the used tools, materials or the processes, write it in the comment section - i´ll try to answer as soon as possible!

at 2:23 the inclusion of the OOPS moment and showing the handle was threaded and not pressed on is cool, the end result is awesome, im impressed that you did include the oops moment as it makes these restorations more real as it shows that we all can make errors.
I am not only late to the party I am late to a party where I am mentioned and you use my japanning recipe. I am ashamed of my tardiness and hope you can forgive me one day. Let's call the flour, vinegar, salt mixture devil's dough, because the stench is sickening and the mess just as diabolical. Your restoration is wonderful. Your given information is more and better than ever and your balance between perfection and preservation of history has museum quality. Thank you my Christiano Bronaldo ❤.

Very neat indeed, CONGRATULATIONS, impressive, I am 71 years old, I haven't seen one of those since my childhood.
Handbook rescue has a couple of episodes dedicated to 'japanning' recipes including a spray can version.
I love that high pressure parts washer, thats *click* noice
I think the white stuff is dried up, old yeasts. Since coffee powder is hygroscopic, it's an excellent substrate for common yeasts to grow on. Left alone, when they finally consumed all of the coffee powder they die and dry up, leaving that white patina (which is quite common on old kitchen tools, and also usually not dangerous for human health). Great job on the restoration, and the video editing as well.
I can´t get used to this beautiful perfection. Every single one is a masterpiece.

Love your restoration! I can smell the coffee from the other side of the world! (Australia)😊
Given life to the lifeless with your expertise. A wonderful restoration!
So nice. Just one thing : you should not lubricate metal mechs with linseed oil because it will dry and make a sticking paste
I laughed when you unscrewed the handle after trying so hard to get it off. I love that you did not file the manufacturing marks off of it! It’s a part of the history of the piece, so thank you for preserving that!😊

Very nice "closeup" video work. Japanning was a nice touch.
I was wondering why you didn't try to see if it unscrewed before trying the bearing puller LOL Love seeing Japanning going back one items that started out with it. Plus I think if done right it looks better than paint It looks great and you did an excellent job restoring it as well!!! I enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up
why is everything related to coffee so royal and classy ?
There is a deep irony in the first time I've seen you restore something and preserving it's patina in some way, that it's a grinder that would need new burrs. But what a beautiful collectors piece. Please continue this restoration - maintaining the character of the piece!

Great restoration. Lots of attention to detail. I love the parts washer! Thank you for the japaning. I think the stuff in the drawer was enamel. The grinder I used to have had white enamel inside.
Finally, get to see someone who does not remove the factory character from the project. Well done!
That looks real good after renovation 😃😃
Nice to see some more unusual restoration techniques (such as the porridge on the brass and the Japaning) and also a sympathetic restoration that leaves much of the original character - though the sound of the hot bluing makes me want to go and fry some chips!
I dont know why. But i love a proper flat head screw removal.
Io ne ho uno, era di mio nonno (1869 - 1957), ma l'ho lasciato come era, con la sua patina di vecchiaia. Lo tengo come soprammobile.
Doesn't the heat treatment of the hardened parts soften the steal? In some other restoration videos I saw there was sometimes the explanation "can not hot blue it, but must be cold bluing it because it is hardened". How can you tell if it is hardened and what temperature it can stand without losing the hardness?
@misterpatina
8 ай бұрын
It softens, when the metal cools down slowly. But youre right in the detail: it doesnt got the same hardness, as it had before. I 'just' did the filing test before and after: the file slipped over the metal and didnt file off anything :-) I guess loosening some hardness begins at around 200 degrees celsius, but iam open to be corrected here.
LOOKS AS GOOD AS NEW GOOD JOB
Прикольно!))
The threaded handle was unique, can japaning be made with color, all over a very interesting job.

You could not have done it better, turned out great.
Isn’t the Japaning compound, tar and turpentine, made of chemicals that aren’t particularly food safe? Gorgeous job!
