[@matthewbell4451]

What I particularly like about this video is that you explain what you are doing in the various steps, rather than just using non-narrated video. It is very helpful to understand the process. Nicely done!

[@batagnam]

I love your restoration projects but this one disturbed me a little. Why the phillips modern screw ? It looks so out of place, either put nails or weathered screws ... The same with the screw for the handle, why not paint it black ?

[@akselsnemme9931]

that's what i'm thinking

[@CSTRSK]

Yeah I'm shocked seeing that!

[@Alkatross]

At least he didn't use security torx screws. That would have been hilarious.

[@ghostrider433]

Phillips screws are barely modern. If he's restoring and repainting the whole thing why would he "weather" anything? And yes paint a highly worn surface like a screw in the center of the handle so the paint can wear away and flake off and look bad. Go grab something and restore it yourself if you think you have the right idea, make some videos.

[@batagnam]

@@ghostrider433 It is called suggestion ... And I do restore stuff, I just do not make video out of it.

[@zxXEROTSxz]

The main frame was made with box joint not with dovetail's

[@AbdelhakOussaid]

You should have polished the top instead of painting it

[@therealjammit]

Cast iron is different. It will just rust.

[@blackwing320]

I was thinking electroplating would have looked nice. Apparently it is difficult to plate cast metals.

[@AbdelhakOussaid]

@@therealjammit Yup, After doing some research you're right.

Finally, a comment not talking about the new screws.

[@thefrenchtoast1259]

Why would you change to new screws, kinda ruins it all

[@Womberto]

Brass slotted screws would have fitted the age of it better I reckon.

[@akselsnemme9931]

that's what i'm thinking

[@FaithfulMC]

The drawer knob could have been screwed from the other side to hide the screwhead, it looks hideous

[@KevinFields777]

I thought the same thing. Put some wood filler in the knob, drill a new hole in the backside and screw it in from there.

[@JusttRelaxx]

Why those screws...... :( There are brand new little nails. You had to use them instead of the screws.

[@SwirlyJoe]

I appreciate you actually speak in these restorations😜

[@questionabletacos9292]

Having been a sub for about 8 years or so i like the interesting new direction for the channel. Keep up the good work.

[@xrosaxnikix]

I honestly love how you're still making videos, thank you for being here and doing this! I've been watching since I was around 8 and really enjoy seeing the new style and content!

[@stormkhan4250]

Nice little restore. Just a note but to be a bit more sympathetic to the restoration you should have used flat head screws instead in keeping with the style of the item from when it was made. You could also have done away with screws for the drawer sides by simply gluing the sides together. Modern wood glues are quite strong.

[@jennifernguyen6456]

My mom has something similar but a lot smaller, but my mom uses it to grind black peppercorns into pepper!

*It's time to restore a very old coffee mill! Have a cup of "joe" and enjoy! Here is a link to my last video if you missed it.* kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqWudmquh6-SkJY *Thanks for watching!* 👍👍

[@FLUPP_NUTS]

Miss your electronic how-to videos KipKay! Short and to the point, yet you broke things down so amateurs like myself could do them. Hope to see some new ones soon!

[@RealJackHQ]

I always loved his tutorials on all kinds of things, even as it pertained to stuff such as 7 Segment Displays and Glow-In-The-Dark Powder.

[@DoomedCookie69]

The point of restoration is to get it as close to its original state, not make a kitsch.

[@jayroyse1688]

I miss your diy projects kipkay

[@Maser209]

Those screws make it look awful!

[@GGov86]

I'm having a really hard time deciding whether or not this is supposed to be a parody or not. The end result is kinda godawful, and you didn't even really restore it, you just kinda cleaned it up. The handle actually looks worse with the screw, and the sticker is ridiculous. Then again, there are some aspects that make it seem like you're not even trying to take this seriously, but I'm just not sure.

[@trey1531]

don't look at his last restoration

[@RealJackHQ]

I thought it was very nice, but everyone seems to be a critic and never appreciates the intricacies of the springs, wingnuts, paint, and the use of the wirewheel to make everything nice and shiny.

[@QuantumPolagnus]

Big coffee nut, here, so I super love the restoration of such a classic coffee mill! Maybe you can adjust the grind setting with that adjustment knob, but I see you got a super inconsistent grind size at the end of the video.

[@MichaelLeeW]

Lol that wasn't even a proper restoration

[@knutlunde6533]

the new screws ruined it for me :(

[@Joeywh053aw350m3Lee]

Pliers = wrench Box joint = dovetails Ok kipkay.

[@PlowBenderStudios]

I remember my grandmother had one of these sitting on the mantel back in my younger years and I never knew what it was. 20+ years later I finally have an answer. Great restoration, KipKay and if you ever get the chance, please see about doing a restoration video on a vintage Tonka truck.

[@chimney13]

Supperb work. Only this screw on drower nob looks strange. Use one of older screws. Love your channel. Keep doing .......

[@joeypatzer1923]

PLZ KEEP MAKING EM!!!

[@moonabove89]

The screws wouldn't have bothered me if the top didn't get spray painted -- would have gone with the pin in the handle better - etc.

[@DGalzak]

Oh how you've fallen kipkay 😪

[@curiouscharacter1]

Nice restoration although I'd have probably buffed the whole cast iron top and lacquered it rather than paint (just my taste). BTW, it's Min-Wax, not Min-I-Wax.

[@FQP-7024]

I miss the as seen on TV Videos but I guess this is now a restoration chanel

i have this exact make and model. i bought it not knowing what year it was and was using it to fri d my coffee. i noticed that every time i used it particles of the handle were getting worn down onto the cover sheild.. i have no idea how to prevent this, but still want to use my coffe grinder… any suggestions?

[@inthegaragejoe]

While you did a good job refinishing the coffee mill you ruined the authenticity by putting all the screws into it. Bad bad bad.
