[@pmNCC-1701]

I would like to see more restoration of your oven... It would be interesting to see you try to clean the goo off the surfaces... =)

[@LakeNipissing]

Carlson's cabinet restorations by _Subway_ !! The sign that was at the top added some humor to this.

[@FredGandt]

I'm sure you've already thought of this, but just in case: consider adding air filtering to keep the fans from blowing dust all over your fresh paint. I upcycled my computer desk from a very old (est.100-yo at least) bakery table. At 6 by 3 feet, the top is made of 4 unequally wide planks, between which was a compound of all the ingredients it'd had mixed on it over its decades, turned to a paste through the regular scrubbings it'd had. I can say politely that it had a unique smell. After a lot of work, it became a beautiful, functional desk that smells delightfully of oiled and painted wood. I hope all the work your oven needs repays you as well 😄

[@richardmassoth8237]

I also vote to look at this type of restoration. I was in on conversions of 3-phase band saws and a 3-phase steam autoclave to 208 single phase, so it would be nice to see this type of conversion reviewed by Mr. Carlson's Lab. So many industrial and commercial products come as 3-phase devices, so this would be helpful for re-use of such products.

[@sometimesleela5947]

I'm surprised they expected sub shops to all have easy access to 3-phase. At least the manf. used single phase blower motors.

[@TopCat2021]

For inductive loads like band saws or lathes look into VFD's, static inverters, or rotary converters for operating such equipment in a single phase shop.

[@eDoc2020]

@@sometimesleela5947 I imagine the manufacturer sells units wired for both single and three phase.

[@lapub.]

@@eDoc2020 It may sound weird from the US but in Europe you can buy domestic appliance wired for single and 3 phases. It apply on cooking appliance and water heater tank, as it's common (or easy ) to have 3 phase power at home so you can spread the load across all phases. All public distribution is made from 3 phases transformer 230V phase to neutral/ground and 400V between phases. A 9KW will draw "only" 7,5 Amps on each phase (7.5*3*400) while it would need 41 Amps under 220V (there is more to say about what happen in the neutral conductor but I keep it simple)

Restoring everyday things like this oven is great content. Most people don't come across test equipment or vacuum tubes in their every day repair needs or they are in need of help with more practical things.

[@joonglegamer9898]

The subect is perfect for this channel, you're educational, you teach us smart repair tricks and deep insights into the electronics objects you repair. And I bet a lot of us is into all kinds of electronics, I'm at that age were I don't focus on a single area like "radio" for example, but everything, technology connections is great for those "oddities" in electronics, so with your indepth knowledge I would welcome this kind of repair videos. It's real life useful, we're into repurposing things, especially solid things like that Baking oven, I'd love to own one and make bulk loads of bread in hard times. Excellent stuff!

[@bobvines00]

Paul, the aerospace overhaul facility that I retired from has a Heat Treat Shop, among many others. Someone briefed the "Board" one day about Production issues and called a wide flat oven as the "Pizza Oven." Of course, the entire Board insisted on going over there to see the "Pizza Oven." Wouldn't you know it, it was at the beginning of lunch time and someone was actually heating a pizza that they had brought in for their lunch. I wish that I'd been there to see the looks on their faces & heard their comments. ;) I'll cast a vote to see a clip of the wrinkle paint as it changes from smooth to wrinkled!

[@MrCarlsonsLab]

Thanks for sharing your story Bob!

[@johnbellas490]

Hello Paul! I can see your point about curing the paint faster using this oven! Hope it works out for you. Yes I would be interested in seeing a little more about your work on it. thanks a bunch!!

[@AYDENandDAD]

I'd certainly like to see more of your work on the bread oven - something different doesn't hurt!

[@anthonyshiels9273]

I would LOVE to see you restoring the Bread Oven.

[@ProVest97]

You will be 100 before you get all this stuff done. But we will be right here with you.

[@EskCan44]

Mmmm that'll really infuse the bread with that good ole fashioned magic smoke scent!

[@lapub.]

Better do the opposite way as odours will surely goes up

[@Evilslayer73]

Thats gonna be the perfect oven for powder coating! thats gonna be a very good project to follow :)

[@EsotericArctos]

I know this would take away from some of the other restorations, but it's nice to see the tools you use, including the modified tools, as well as the radios and other things. I think I'd still enjoy seeing more of the oven. Although this is not something everyone can get their hands on, the ideas can be transferred to smaller projects.

[@BlankBrain]

I bought a brand new GE ¼HP blower motor on eBay for $10! I pair it with a 30:1 worm gearbox (also eBay) to power the apple grinder on my cider press. Edit: I enjoy watching all kinds of restoration, not just electronics. I cured ceramic paint yesterday in my BBQ.

[@nijhuisrb]

Please open it up, great stuff

[@jeffberwick]

When you said "electronics and bread" I immediately thought of Panko, where an arc is actually used to bake the bread. That would be a cool video subject, don't you think? You would probably need to get one of those ovens from Japan.

[@jefferyb304]

I'd like to see more videos on this oven.

[@ver64]

Cool video, thanks Mr Carlson 👍🏼

[@Runco990]

I have a laboratory hot air oven myself. I use it to bake tapes and such. My friend used a 4 foot rack, insulated it and made a paint oven out of it from scratch. Know all about the wrinkle finish. Some females flash off the same way! It's amazing!!! 😅 Of course, like the "porch light", Paul takes it to another level!! 😁

[@Sundancer268]

I am not surprised on the price of parts, that is a commercial unit and the cost of repair can be written off on the company's business expenses. The main thing commercial equipment users look at is the durability as it will affect the bottom line when the equipment is down for repair.

[@MrCarlsonsLab]

You are correct, if a unit is down for repair they will lose money!

Yes! As a former appliance repair guy and a fan of your electronics projects it would be fun to see your thought process to fix it.

If you want to dry freshly painted parts you should insert a dust filter to avoid to sprinkle dirt inside. After a drunken driver touched my car (while I was somewhere else), I hat to repaint a part of it. To dry the paint I drove my car over night into a chamber made for that purpose. Next day I found dust sprinkled over the repainted area, because something went wrong with their dust filters. I did not need to pay for the night and it was my car when I was a student at university, nothing which has to be somewhat representative, but ...

[@anonymousmeme8458]

Aftermarket parts are the way to go on these appliances unless of course you're having to warranty your work and put them back in commercial service. Been there done that professionally. 😊 Also....when dealing with a fan that will not easily pull off do the following: Oil the shaft at the fan. Lock the shaft (if its not already locked) and spin the fan back and forth a little at a time by hand. Rinse and repeat. Eventually that fan will let go and then easily lift away from the shaft. Don't use any force trying to lift the fan off until its ready, otherwise you chance never getting it off and ruining any chance of saving the fan or bearings in the motor.

[@sbodi4d]

Hey Paul. Well it sure seems to be an interesting machine to see you fix and adapt to your present needs. I vote yes, definitely, to see you put this thing back in working order. Thanks!

[@dougtaylor7724]

I had a heat bin for paint. It was two bins out of a steel stamping plant. They were hinged together and had two high wattage bulbs inside. We would preheat the part and paint it. Put it back and let her dry. You could paint even when it was 45 and raining.😂

[@hestheMaster]

Mr.Carlson just doesn't like to wait for the paint to dry. The top must smell like burnt toast! Love that you're are going to make a bread oven into painted cabinet dryer. Powder coated cabinets needs a much warmer place to dry the paint coat. This will fill the bill!

[@ervinmq1955]

For those who might want to know why he calls the bottom section a “proving “ oven, it means rising. When you put bread dough in a warm place to rise, it is said to be “proving”.

Proofing

[@christophermarshall5765]

@@FromSagansStardust rising of bread dough is called PROVING, not proofing. I have friends who are bakers, and they told me that terminology thank you.

[@kennyd7452]

​@@christophermarshall5765In cooking, proofing (also called proving) is a step in the preparation of yeast bread and other baked goods in which the dough is allowed to rest and rise a final time before baking. During this rest period, yeast ferments the dough and produces gases, thereby leavening the dough.

It doesn't need to be a super, crazy detailed video. But gear like this makes a nice break from the radios. It'll also draw in people who are less interested in the detailed radio videos and are curious about things like this.. Fiddled with many domestic ovens myself but very few commercial ones and never a proofer, for example.

[@WitchidWitchid]

And when not using it to cure paints and things you can always use it to make bread. I made my own bread for the first time about a year ago. It came out great and I' ve been making my own bread ever since. I haven't had ready made store bought bread in ages.

[@terminalpsychosis8022]

Oh that old thing will come in very handy. Those little fans ... well, if anyone knows it's Mr. Carlson... they're really easy and cheap to replace. Probably with better ones even. Quieter and longer lasting. What a quality of life improvement to be able to cook off a new case paint job.

[@Greg-et2dp]

Mr Carlsons lab you are good at restoring antique radios and alignment of antique radios my friend

[@DataToTheZero]

I think take some photos and put a video together about what you did. Also, if you need to recover the fan blower, just drill out the drive shaft. Doesn't need to be perfect if you just make it into a thin tube and reheat it the missing center will usually weaken it enough that the shaft will shrink.

[@frankowalker4662]

[@brianwood5220]

Hi Paul. The parts are so expensive for this because they are for the food and hygene industry. You can probably get motors / fans a lot cheaper if you go for standard items, but they may not last as long as the OEM parts would. Nice to see it's coming along though. I dreaded working on ovens, they would always be full of grease. Thanks for sharing.

[@JohnnyX50]

In my old job I worked in the bakery. In my spare time I make music, bare with me.. They had a prover oven that had a squeaky motor. Strangely I remembered the tones it was producing and made a song out of it :D lol The thing was it reminded me of a lighthouse turning and made me wonder if any lighthouse has ever suffered a squeaky tune. Regardless the tune became the underline basis of my song which included ocean wave sounds, wind, calming sections and stormy sections :) I would hate to guess how much power one of those consumes as our ovens were on a 3 phase circuit as they were massive 7 section slotted ovens with steam injection and massive blower fans above them :) Great way to repurpose something though, I repurposed an old microwave oven for spraying small items. Pulled the HV stuff out but kept the bulb, plate turner, timer and fan in tact. Makes a good little spray booth lol :)
