1890s' Most Unnecessarily Complicated Apple Peeler [Restoration]

[@hmahanes]

Probably was! :D I live in NH, the state in which it was manufactured, and we grow A LOT of apples! This was probably used for commercially producing apple butter or pies. We have much smaller and more simple "apple peeler-corers" that many of us New England home cooks use to process our fall harvests. I can definitely see a machine like that being used to preserve TONS of apple butter or a similar product.

[@Kieselmeister]

3 turns of the hand wheel total, first two peels and cores, third ejects the Apple and core and returns to the start. With the sequence ordered by the cam pin tracks on the wheel in the back.

I've had my hands on one of those. When I was a kid, I volunteered at a victorian museum which had all manner of antique tools and equipment in the kitchen and workshop, and since I seemed to have a knack for tools and finding things in a library, I wound up doing a bunch of historicl interpretation - at the age of 16! The apple peeler they had looked and worked identically to this one, although I can't say whether it was the same brand or a knockoff. Now how many kitchen appliances of today will still be working 100 years from now. There is something to be said for cast iron clunkiness. ^_^

The first patent for an apple peeler was issued in 1803. I would imagine after 100 years they were affordable. You can buy a similar one to this one in the video mint condition nowadays for ~$600

[@AndyPanda9]

I just recently discovered your channel and I'm really enjoying your clever sense of humor and your skill. It's really interesting to see these pieces of gear and your adventures giving them new life.

[@taytase]

Awww snap, it's a HTR video first thing in the morning! It's gonna be a good day!

[@stanbinary]

Whoever engineered this: either worked before on sewing machines or in a gun factory. Very early 1900s design...but it works

[@cameronmitchell454]

Was thinking it looks like the work of a gunsmith as well.

[@EOCostello]

I expected a Tex Avery-esque sign, “long tool, ain’t it?”

[@MMitchellMarmel]

Ha! Great minds think alike. 🤣

[@emerald7810]

As they say, "do one thing and do it well". I never would have thought that a hand-cranked machine that can peel and core an apple so fast would exist, but here it is, and it's a pretty impressive sight. (And while it was almost certainly made for large-scale jobs, I can't help imagining some little old granny using this thing to crank out a hundred apple pies in an afternoon.)

[@brentdallyn8459]

When I first looked at this machine my immediate thought was OMG! what kind of Apples were they growing in the 1800's

[@s4nari]

Holy hell, that is the coolest apple peeler/corer ever.

@@ВалераВолков-о9т это не распиздяйство (мы сейчас говорим о нации в целом, а не о конкретных каких-то людях) это ненапряжение и расслабленность. Русские в массе фаталисты плюс у нас реально всего до хрена, чего напрягаться то? Это неудачники типа европейцев пусть напрягаются. Живут как в бочке селедка и ресурсов нихрена нет, ни земли ни воды. Вот и напрягаются. Ну а про "и так сойдет" вообще бред. Россия имеет первенство во многих высокотехнологичных областях и строит крутые вещи которые некоторые исключительные и другие напрягающиеся не могут даже повторить. Так что это пофигизм отличника который знает материал и расслабленность уверенного в себе человека. А анекдот сочинял завидующий лох неудачник пытающийся обелить себя в своих же глазах.

[@johnNJ4024]

OMG!!! That thing is a wickedly scary apple peeler/corer! I'd be afraid to get anywhere near it. It's an absolute work of genius! Great job restoring it too! You're nothing short of spectacular! Love watching your videos. You never fail to impress.

[@sofielee4122]

if I saw this in a video game i would accuse the devs of being too over-the-top with the aesthetic

[@bobafetting6373]

Who says over-engineering is not elegant?! The whole video I was thinking, lovely work but pointless. Then the apple appeared and, and well that was just swell.

[@TheVwgolfmk1]

Extraordinary piece of engineering, love it. Great video as usual, love the gags and stuff. Where did you find this marvelous machine?

[@Nightrunnergunner]

Was not expecting that efficient of a cut! Complicated but wow for 1890. What an invention!!

[@steves2694]

With restoration videos, I always pause a moment out of respect for the manufacturing family tree. You restored a quality machine that exists thanks to a machinist, thanks to a foundry worker, thanks to a cast mold maker, thanks to a draftsman, etc. Keep America Making.

[@JonDingle]

In my opinion that is a brilliant apple corer and I wish I had one!

[@PhilipPetrunak]

I wouldn't say this is unnecessarily complicated. If you're running a pie shop, a device like this is an absolute necessity. But for peeling apples at home? Yeah, not so much.

[@Jesse__H]

I thought it was _ridiculous_ in a quaint, old-fashioned way. Until I saw it work at the end, which changed my mind completely!

[@PhilipPetrunak]

And it really seems designed to drop the peeled & cored in a bucket or bowl is great for mass production.

[@Awrethien]

@@PhilipPetrunak Yea I would just hate to be the poor bastard putting the apple on the thing. Be quick or your hand gets cored...

[@Shaftygod]

Your mom's got a pie shop at home

[@mm9374]

We had a variation on this machine that only peeled the apples. We had to core and slice them. We still got a lot of use out of it every year in the fall. My Mom still has and uses it. But now that I’ve seen this bad boy...

[@leewilliamson3424]

The the fact that it is old complicated and unnecessary that's what makes it cool and it shows how smart grandpa on our great-grandfathers really were love your channel

[@markwriter2698]

Very necessary for making apple butter.

[@haroldasaleksa9427]

that made me wow at the end, very impressive

[@logantc.1353]

I like how it lifts the razor sharp blades away from where your hand is going to be when it gets done with each cycle

If you hevent already you should stream taking appart or putting back together a restoration project, I think that would be a good stream to watch, and make it like a Q&A aswell

First time watching. That intro just earned you one sub 😂😂

If you want sandblasting, tysietube or whatever his name is just put out a 30 minute montage of just sandblasting. After watching that you'll be glad HTR was brief.

For when Granny wants to make 1500 pies an hour... like she does...

[@memyselfandkev]

Interesting you replaced the either brass bushings with what looks like aluminum. Have a reason for that substitution?

[@ulfhenarpolymathmilitant6258]

no..... it was steel bushings

[@memyselfandkev]

@@ulfhenarpolymathmilitant6258 interesting. Bushing are designed to be worn, not shaft. You get lubricity from the softness of the bushing so steel is an even more interesting choice.

[@borincod]

you are right, Kevin. Looks like people do not know that now. Remarkably, mostly only Russian speaking commenters have noticed this x)

[@LIBERTY374]

I didn't think this machine would work so smoothly and quickly. It works really perfectly.
