French Fry Cutter Restoration!

In this exciting restoration project, we take you through the step-by-step process of reviving a rusty French fry cutter. Watch as we transform this neglected tool into a shining piece of kitchen equipment once again!
We begin by carefully disassembling the cutter, removing years of built-up rust and grime. Using specialized cleaning solutions and techniques, we restore each component to its former glory. Our skilled team then proceeds to sand, polish, and buff the metal parts to bring out their original luster.
Next, we tackle the mechanical aspects of the cutter, meticulously oiling and greasing the necessary joints and mechanisms to ensure smooth operation. We pay close attention to each detail, ensuring that every part fits precisely as it should.
Once the restoration is complete, we showcase the fully revived French fry cutter in action. Demonstrating its functionality, we effortlessly slice through fresh potatoes, resulting in perfect, restaurant-quality fries in no time.
Join us on this captivating journey of breathing new life into a neglected French fry cutter. Whether you're a restoration enthusiast or simply fascinated by the process, this video will surely leave you inspired.

And you the Nobel prize of ignorance.

[@joshschneider9766]

Using a vertical one of these and a vertical wedge cutter was my first under the table job at the age of ten as a kid in Chicago. This one is neat but I bet running fifty pounds through horizontally would be awful tiring lol. Great job bringing her back to life, the souls of my predecessors no doubt appreciate it.

[@joshschneider9766]

Are you sure the four holes under it werent to screw it into a wall with a bucket under it? Thats how we did it in diners in Chicago in the nineties.

[@Zebrapiggyback]

Man you’re probably correct

[@joshschneider9766]

​@@Zebrapiggybackthis stomper cutter is one of the first type of tools mass produced in the industrial revolution. There's like ninety versions I've seen 😂

[@Faesharlyn]

Yep! Mounted on the wall pointing down, lift the lever and slip in a spud, smash the lever to the wall and the fries plop into the bucket of salty water!

[@joshschneider9766]

@@Faesharlyn you even know the salty water trick. Outstanding. Hint... Add lemon juice to it. Tightens the outside of the fries up and makes them extra crispy ;)

[@joshschneider9766]

@@Faesharlyn yep that is how we did it. Cept we also added one oz of lemon juice per gallon of water to make the outside extra crispy

[@Anti-Infringement-American]

Boil it, mash it, stick it in a stew.

[@rainingmen234]

You know I watch a LOT of these types of videos and one thing that always gets me. Why don't people wait for the penetrating oil to do its job before resorting to the torch?

[@Restorationcircle]

It's always interesting to see different approaches in those videos!

[@mackiri6996]

It's called editing. Unless you wanna watch WD40 drying for 10mins+?

[@MattyRRG]

This is just my experience, but when working with really old rusty pieces, I tend to have to oil it, come back after a few mins, try it, doesn't budge, and then do it a few more times until it finally comes out with extra force. I dont have the luxury of a torch but I wish I could. Sometimes the shortcut that saves time and effort is worth any downsides to it

[@daniel_3191]

I'd be amazed if this rainingmen234 goober understands that the video isn't happening live every time he watches it.

[@Z3ne39]

Hope you soon have sandblast and lathe.

[@mrwest5552]

@Z3ne39 - agreed yes - he has the shop space, give him the tools.

[@TapscottJ]

Mmmm. French fries. Super job! “A real cut up” or “a cut above the rest”.

[@Restorationcircle]

Yes! Thank you!

[@alexishart364]

That might help me save time save money on French fries 👍

[@mrimmortal1579]

The French fry cutter looked good, but I’d like to offer you a few tips on how this ‘restoration’ could have been done better: 1). While it’s nice to make an old item look better, for it to be a restoration you want to return the item closer to its original working condition. This means: 1a). Parts that are worn should be repaired or replaced. For example, the holes on the linkage arms 4:16 are wildly worn out. The part that slides on the rods and holds the plastic pusher head 4:19 should have had bronze bushings pressed into the sleeves on both sides, in order to slide on the rails with less slop. 1b). Parts that are bent should be straightened. 1c). Care should be taken to ensure the item works safely. For example, the linkages, hinges, and pins on this French fry cutter should have been nickel plated instead of painted, to keep paint chips from moving parts out of your fries. 2). I thought I had more to say 😅. I might think of more to add later, but until then keep up the good work!

[@codyarthur4063]

The only input we need here is that you need restoration of your grammar structure.

[@bow-tiedengineer4453]

I had similar thoughts, but at least the guy was trying and did a real restoration. Right before this I watched part of one of those super fake looking restoration videos where it looks like they just caked a perfectly fine metal antique with a bunch of clay and junk, and then make a big show of disassembling and cleaning it. I'd have loved to see him take the time to bush those sliding holes and replace the sheet metal of the linkages, but at least he was actually fixing the thing, and he probably just doesn't have the tools for doing bushings, and so didn't worry about that part of things.

[@evonnie451]

I ❤ the safety first PPE

[@musicopata]

Actually he shouldn't be wearing gloves with the wire brush, highly dangerous (learnt from experience)

[@tymeksulwinski7894]

11:18 party goes wild asf 💀💀

[@mrwest5552]

Like. fry those spuds, fry them in hot oil !

[@Restorationcircle]

Great idea!

[@teleuser]

Nice.

[@Restorationcircle]

Thanks!

[@1957wade]

In all my years I have never had penetrating oil penetrate even with daily doses of oil after weeks of application. The rust gets to a point that it’s impenetrable and only heat will work.

[@drdghattierdc]

Kano Kroil virtually never fails.

[@panzerjagertigerausf.b]

unpopular opinion but I wouldn't have made french fries with the rusty version.

[@georgebrown8312]

Fantastic restoration job you did on the French fry cutter. It looks much better and it works like a charm too. I hope that paint is good safe. Excellent work.

[@shawbros]

Actually, it still doesn't work all that great. Look closely while he is cutting the potatoes, and you can see that the part that presses on the potato is loose, and that makes it press the potato at an angle instead of straight.

[@jackcollins2344]

is the paint safe for food consumption? just wondering

[@CC-taiwan]

修復的技巧非常的完美，但機器的運作似乎不順暢

[@condar419]

Почему так плохо почищена картошка? Эти коричневые штучки надо вырезать

[@MrVince8]

I have a modern version of this ff cutter. It does not work nearly as well as this older version.

[@hiddentruth1982]

A little history. wd 40 stands for water displacement compound 40 and was invented by nasa to prevent ice from sticking to rockets. As to why it was put out to the public I have no idea but most things invented by nasa are released that way.

[@user-rn2zb6be1u]

Wasn't it for nuclear bomb casing?

[@pavloszimbrakos4410]

Would’ve been so much better with a lathe some welding and a wood planer

[@chrisquartieri4712]

Do they ratchets where you live?

Why not spray the whole thing down with WD 40 first...
