In this video, I will restore an antique grain crusher forgotten by people and time. The grain crusher was extraordinarily rusty and quite challenging to restore. There was not even 1 inch untouched by rust, and a cast iron wheel was broken in two pieces. This old tool was probably produced in Poland. I bought it from a flea market for 25$. I found a bronze-pierced coin used to fix the handle during restoration. The currency is Polish as well. You can read the Republic of Poland 1949. This discovery was astonishing and unexpected, and I learned more about this beautiful antique grain crusher. I love this object, and when I saw it for the first time, I knew it would make a great restoration video and deserve to be restored and preserved. I'm personally satisfied with how it turned out. The restoration process went well, especially the thin cast iron wheel welding. It was like a trip back in time using this old grain crusher. If you enjoyed the video and my work, please don't forget to subscribe to not miss my new restoration projects.
Cheers! Johnny
