Massive Antique Meat Slicer Restoration - 1895 Cast Iron Alexanderwerk
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this restoration video, I will bring back to life an antique meat slicer produced in Westfalia, Germany. I bought it from an antique website, thinking it would make a significant restoration. This antique kitchen tool is beautiful and massive but beaten up by time. The restoration process was arduous because all the parts were rusty and stuck. The meat slicer was built from many parts that I had to restore individually. Took me almost two weeks to achieve this result. The paint on it was also lead-positive, so I had to dispose of the waste and wear a mask all the time. I love how this antique meat slicer turned out and am happy I could save it from decay.
Now it is perfectly functional and can be used again!

Well, what kind of silly old chook am I? I’d heard of powder coating but I didn’t know it was actually powder that was puffed on then baked 🫤I don’t know what I thought. Anyway, fantastic job and what a wonderful item is that slicer.

The puffed on part is actually more complicated. The paint is charged so when they apply electric to the parts via the suspension wires , it becomes attracted to the part. Like static electricity and a dryer sheet lol.
Awesome job you did restoring the meat slicer. It looked very rusty and dirty but you really cleaned it up and you got it working like a charm as well. Great work.

Laser versus sandblasting. Is one method more effective than the other, or is it changeable depending on the condition of the material? And... Which is more fun (or satisfying) to use? 😺

This reminds me of the more modern-day meat slicers I used to see in the Emeline Ave. food prep area. That was back in 1984 and 1985. These modern-day meat slicers were even shown in the Stephen King horror flick called Children of the Corn, an Adult Nightmare. The former New York Governor Bill DeBlasio wouldn't be writing these kinds of horror stories. 🍖 🥓 🥩 🍖

Всё же не сторонник я таких новомодных штучек как холодное воронение. Самый надёжный способ закалки, по моему мнению, это накалить металлические детали на огне затем бросить их в масло. Получается очень прочно и надёжно.

Наглядное свидетельство того, что качественное эмалевое покрытие практически вечно, если не допускать сколов на нём. Но дорогостоящщее в изготовлении. Даже в СССР газовые плиты, газовые водогрейные колонки покрывались эмалью - как правило, белого цвета - видимые снаружи поверхности, а чёрной или тёмно-синей - внутренние части, например, стенки духовки. Производилось огромное количество эмалированной посуды - кастрюли, чайники, вёдра, детские горшки и многое другое. В настоящее же время эмаль уступила место порошковой и алкидной краске, которые менее износостойкие.
