In this video I restored an old german bean slicer which was made by 'Alexanderwerk' in 1922, which my friend Mister Patina gave me!
The work on the project took about 30 hours (inclusive filming) plus about 11 hours of editing.
I used an ultra sonic cleaner to deep clean the slicing parts. Ultrasonic cleaners are a very cool and under appreciated in my opinion.
Ultrasonic cleaners have ultrasonic transducers in it, which vibrate so fast that you can't hear the actual sound of it, because it is above the range the human ear can hear. The sound we hear is the sound of the machine itself vibrating. It is creating high acoustic pressure and creating cavitation bubbles (due to low pressure), which collapse and become liquid again. When they implode the create very high pressure (about 1000x atm!) and very high temperature and creating shockwaves (above the speed of sound!). This process is cleaning the parts.
Check out the video of ‪@TheActionLab‬ on Ultrasonic cleaners, it's a great video! • Can Ultrasonic Waves D...

Restoration was sweet but the small knife in the beginning killed it 😄

Awesome job you did restoring the bean slicer to working order. It looks much better too. Excellent work. By the way, this is the first time I have heard of or seen a bean slicer before.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Thanks so much! Me too! 😂

[@j.l.emerson592]

It's used to make "French" cut green beans. It is often called a bean Frencher. I think it's an American thing. Food companies often sell canned or frozen French cut green beans.

[@johnnyofthesticks7260]

No Mr. Bean was harmed. No Sir, ABSOLUTELY NOT! Not for a second! Brilliant.

All these devices of simplifying and speeding up preparing foods usually has a big drawback: how do you clean it properly? :P Looks treat though, but as a clean-freak I'll stick with a knife hehe

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

It’s more like a decorative piece for me 😄

[@Ea-Nasir_Copper_Co]

9:15 If I can make a suggestion? Stick a ring magnet to the bottom of that sieve and small items won't fly off.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Omg why didn’t think of that? What a great idea mate, thank you! One of the screws jumped out and I had to search for it in the glass beads 😅

I have to say , I have never seen one of those in my part of the world. May be we just like small knives instead. Honestly you just keep getting better at everything you do 😜

Es gibt von Alexanderwerk eine Schneidemaschine für grüne Bohnen aus der Zeit. Das ist allerdings eine Art Platte mit zwei, im spitzen Winkel angesetzten Öffnungen für die Bohnen und auf der Vorderseite eine runde Drehplatte mit eingesetzten Messern, die die Bohnen dann in längsovale Scheiben schnitten. Dieses Gerät ist sicher kein Bohnenschneider. Eher geeignet um Schwarten oder Kutteln in Streifen zu schneiden. Die Restaurierung selbst, war absolut super. Ein tolles funktionierendes Gerät. Nur eben nicht unbedingt ein Bohnenschneider, wie man auch am Ergebnis sehen konnte.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Danke für deinen Kommentar :) Ich habe das gute Stück als Bohnenschneider deklariert erhalten und die Suche nach Alexanderwerk 5252 hat auch ergeben, dass es ein Bohnenschneider ist. Eine eindeutige Quelle konnte ich dafür aber leider nicht finden

[@user-tq5lu1wp7e]

@@DrHutOfHandcraft Wenn du noch einmal Alexanderwerk Bohnenschneider eingibst, findest du bei Google Fotos auch die von mir beschriebene Maschine. Ich nehme an, der Begriff Bohnenschneider für dein Gerät wurde einfach von einem nach dem anderen übernommen. Die Schnibbelbohnen mit der anderen Maschine wurden früher mit Salz in Steingut Krüge eingelegt und wie Sauerkraut den ganzen Winter im Keller gelagert. Das geht so mit dieser Maschine nicht, weil du keine richtigen Scheiben bekommst. Es passiert öfter, dass hier alte Geräte nicht mehr in ihrer ursprünglichen Funktion bekannt sind und wenn einer eine falsche Zuordnung trifft, übernehmen es andere. Zum Beispiel werden oft alte Kartoffel Trommelreiben als Käsereibe ausgegeben, weil die Leute die originale Funktion nicht mehr kennen.

[@user-tq5lu1wp7e]

@@DrHutOfHandcraft übrigens, wenn du Kuttelschneider oder Streifenschneider eingibst, findest du größere Geräte für die moderne Metzgerei, die genau so funktionieren, wie dein Gerät. Du kannst damit zum Beispiel auch Wurstscheiben für Fleischsalat schneiden. Sowas macht heute kaum noch jemand Zuhause, daher ist die Funktion wohl in Vergessenheit geraten.

Another great job. What is the deciding factor in whether to remove casting marks or not? Client preference? Trying to stay authentic to original process?

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Thank you 🙏🏼 Depends on the project and what goal I want to achieve. On this one I just thought that leaving casting marks and putting it to the original state as close as possible would be the best thing to do 🙂 Just personal preference

[@Benzyl]

Hand filing weld? Ain't nobody got time for that donkey work.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

With a good file it’s very fast and more detailed

[@Benzyl]

@@DrHutOfHandcraft I must have terrible files then because attacking a hard weld in a small confined curved space takes me forever to make much headway.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

@@Benzyl well it depends on the weld. If you weld cast steel with regular welding you harden the steel and it’s pretty much impossible to file it without proper hardened files, which are really expensive. In that video I used cast electrodes which are specially for cast steel

[@mehgoodenough]

Maybe don't wiggle each and every single part, makes the video seem repetitive. Like using the same cutscenes over rand over. 😉

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

I don’t really understand what you mean 😅

[@madelainepetrin1430]

Not very useful is it?
