Hi folks! Here is my latest restoration project! I've worked on this old buddy daily for about 3 weeks and immensely enjoyed it! I hope you will enjoy the video, too! Thank you so much for all your support! Best, Johnny!

NUNCA tinha visto um secador de roupas bem bem bem antigo, será novidade para meus olhos. O se é um gênio de marceneiro restauração.

The heart-shaped tops on those bolts, that graceful curve on the metal crank handle -- can you imagine a present-day manufacturer investing such elegant design in a workaday product? Or even manufacturing something that is still in decent shape 100+ years later? Lovely job!

hmm, I'd hate to disagree but you can see clearly when he burnt the engraving in that they were not close. that one he did by hand was fantastic though.

Wow does that bring back memories. My first washer as a married Lady had a ringer on it. The washer was next to the garage sink. Rung out the clothes and hung them on the clothes line.

I love seeing old pieces like this brought back to life. Very nice restoration

You have to appreciate how they made things back then. The imprint of the factory and the message on the wood is something I am not sure exist these days with anything but maybe handmade furniture. Its really cool to see to me.

Of course I had to look up the item, these Anchor brand clothes wringers came out in 1896. To find something this spectacular from the 19th century that hasn’t rotted away, what a gem.

I really appreciate that you enhanced the lettering and pictures on this restoration. All that was a nice touch.

We call them a mangle in the UK instead of a wringer :) My mom got her finger caught in one when she was 5 and it's still kind of flat and noticeably squished over 60 years later, I can't imagine how much that hurt! You did a great job and when you redid all that drawing by hand I was seriously impressed, props to you for that

What a brilliant restoration, well done.

The laser engraving was cool but the letter positioning and sometimes the font used is off. I love those old styled wing bolts, almost elegant looking.

@rustyshadesrestoration

Hi! Thank you. The lettering wasn't positioned the same because all the lettering/designs were reproduced from a visible subject, wringer from the Internet. On my wringer, I couldn't distinguish what was written anymore. To find the perfect position afterwards from the first shot it is impossible, only if you are 🦸‍♂️ Best, Johnny

The wringers were the golden years better than wringing fabrics with our hands.

For something made o wood 15 years ago to be in that condition is amazing, can't wait to see it restored. Xx

What an incredible job of preserving/restoring this piece of history. You are so talented. When we visited the farm, the three of us kids helped Grandma with the laundry. She had a ringer like this that was attached to a big tub on wheels. We would bring it in to the kitchen from the short hallway next to it. We had a lot of fun scrubbing on the washboard and ringing out the clothes. Then we’d take the full wash baskets out to the clothesline and hang them up. I’m sure Grandma treasured the relief of this household drudgery.

I love that you wen over the old imprinting to bring it back to life. But does that devalue the piece at all from a collector's point of view?

I am gobsmacked!!! I thought the toaster was my favorite! This old wringer is a beautiful piece. That engraver is amazing. So glad you restored those beautiful graphics. What was the actual wringer made from? More modern wringers seem to have a cushion surface to them. I think about how this device made laundry chores easier (HA!), It surely beats wringing clothes out by hand or beating them on rocks. Keep up the great work!!

So cool 😎 I like the blue touches. That poor dish towel got the life squeezed out of it. 🙃

That close ringer is a working piece of art.

Unfortunately you have engraved "Improved guide board OR spreading the clothes" but I believe it should be "...FOR spreading..." Apart from that, this was a really great video, I love that you managed to save all the timber pieces, even the really bad ones. The wringer now looks like new, when someone first bought it for their home a long, long time ago.

A fastidious and magnificent restoration, very respectful of the original object, congratulations! Considering that the roller wringer was invented in 1843 (by John E. Turnbull in Saint John, New Brunswick) and reached its peak in the 1950s, the number of overly curious children who have got their fingers stuck in it is quite simply astronomical!

Very nice work! Here's a tip: for larger missing wood sections, don't use filler - it has a different density and expanding properties than wood itself. It doesn't matter on small repairs but it accumulates over big lengths. Rather clean out the section with a router and make a wooden insert. For irregular pieces you'll sometimes need to build a jig for your router so the end result is a plane surface that can receive the insert, which then has to be brought into shape with a plane and chisel. The bond between the old piece and the insert will be much more resistant, especially as a preservation method. Would be really nice to see that kind of wood work here! 😊

Thank you. Yes, it is about that, with some exceptions. Some people prefer to see everything replaced even though it isn't necessary. All this because they get used to watching others doing it, and believe I should do the same. I'm fighting to save each original piece instead of replacing everything. I know this can cost me some likes, views etc, but I prefer being myself and doing the things as I feel they have to be done, not just to show off my skills. Thank you again! Johnny

Back when things were made with exceptional workmanship, pride and materials. My heart is sad and breaks for how far my country has fallen. Much is the fault of many who have been put in positions of influence and power who were very bad and easily influenced and manipulated. The regular hard working citizen trusted and believed their Govt. would do right by them.
