  • description: An incredible restoration. Old, rusty coffee grinder (Suffolk Iron Foundry) from 1920 restored. I acquired an old coffee grinder on eBay for €240. The coffee grinder dates back to the year 1920 and has its origins in England. Upon closer inspection, I noticed significant signs of wear and tear: the paint is partially chipped, and the handle is even broken. Additionally, the base on which the coffee grinder stands is considerably damaged. Initially, I decided to disassemble the coffee grinder. Since the paint on the metal parts was applied very thickly, I treated it with a stain. After sandblasting, it revealed that the craftsmanship was not particularly good. Therefore, I used a milling machine to refine most parts before applying putty. After priming all parts with a powder coating, the red metallic coating followed. To accentuate the intensity of the red metallic color, all parts were finally coated with clear powder. I completely recreated the base on which the coffee grinder stood. For this, I used a piece of ash wood from which I cut a suitable board. Using a planing machine, I adjusted it to the correct thickness, added a chamfer to the edges, and sanded the entire piece before sealing it with beeswax. The handles of the drawer and the wheel were no longer appealing, so I decided to make new ones. I used a piece of ash wood and crafted them on a lathe. Although I don't own a lathe machine, I managed to create an exact copy of the old handle using a special technique. I placed the piece to be copied on the lathe and traced it with a second chisel. I also renewed the heart of the coffee grinder. After sandblasting, I heated it and immersed it in an oil bath to protect the metal from corrosion. In the end, I reassembled the entire machine. The result is truly fantastic! I hope you enjoyed the video. Feel free to leave a like and a comment. Until next time – your restorer. ============================= My new lathe from Paulimot Check out the website https://www.paulimot.de I used this lathe in the video https://www.paulimot.de/Drehbank-/-Drehmaschine-PM190-V-mit-230-Volt-Motor-und-Frequenzumrichter?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=MW_Restoration ============================= Social Media: My Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mw_restoration My Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MWResto My TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mw_restoration_ ============================= 00:00 Coffee Grinder Restoration/Restore 00:12 Disassembly 01:57 Staining Body - Removing Paint 02:45 Sandblasting Body 03:24 Body - Milling, Sanding, Filing 04:11 Body Putty 05:09 Body Powder Coating 06:48 Crafting Wooden Board 09:12 Drawer Sandblasting, Powder Coating 10:19 Crafting New Wooden Handle for Drawer 11:19 Cleaning and Sanding Grinder Mechanism Gears 15:07 Assembling Coffee Grinder 15:27 Sandblasting and Powder Coating Coffee Grinder Wheels 17:05 Crafting New Handle from Ash Wood 20:12 Sandblasting and Powder Coating Lid Assembly 21:10 Presenting the Finished Coffee Grinder
