Primitive Butter Churn Restoration - I'm Making Butter for You!

I would like to go back in time to tell the factory worker that made this that in 100+ years someone is going to clean it with light so strong it vaporizes rust.

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

Hahaha, I would love to see such a reaction 😆

[@rebeccashortman9884]

I literally think this every time in restoration videos.

[@dyllanridpath8079]

Lol

[@pfadiva]

That laser rust removal never gets old and combining it with the lathe was a great idea. But this a fancy butter churn; I have the primitive model. It consists of a crock and a wooden dasher. Cream goes in crock, dasher is moved up and down, and, ages later, you get butter.

[@marycollier1293]

I especially like when your restore primitive "appliances". This and your toaster are among my favorites.

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

I'm glad to know that and thank you for watching my videos 🙂

[@julianr.7186]

And these two are complementary, since you can toast bread and then put butter on it!! (add sugar after the butter, you´ll thank me!!)

[@vickiefowler1429]

I think maybe you didn’t churn long enough… you should end up with butter and the remaining whey (very watery). After this, you rinse the butter in cold water to remove the whey and squeeze out the water using cheesecloth. Some folks add a bit of salt to their butter. I like this old churn - although not too wild about the chrome with the yellow paint. Never have I seen one like it. Unusual, but seems to work very well.

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

Thank you for your bits of advice. I never had to make butter before, and I also didn't want to insist this time. After I observed that some butter had formed, I stopped churning. In my workshop, I had 32+ degrees Celsius while churning hard with studio lights on me from all sides, and that was way too much for me 😅😅 I was happy that I could demonstrate that it worked. The chrome idea came from the item itself because it was chrome-plated, and the base is Ivory, not yellow, a colour very similar to butter. I thought that it would make sense 🙂 Thank you once more for your feedback and for watching my work! Cheers! Johnny

After the 40's - 50's so many useful machines, from simple to complex stopped being manufactured the correct way. Instead of improvements, quality and workmanship went downhill. There is almost nothing you can't restore. I really hope you are teaching others to follow in your footsteps.

[@Barbarra63297]

The butter didn't 'break' from the whey, churn until you see clearly chunks of butter and the liquid milky colored part are separated. Nice restoration! That took patience and talent! Sure beats me shaking a mason jar full of cream for 30 minutes lol.

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

Hahaha! Thank you for the tips, Barbarra! I have never made butter before, especially in an antique churning machine, but I'm learning 😀

[@shadvan9494]

really cool restoration of an old kitchen tool. just 1 tip for you. when using chrome paint, it needs to be extremely smooth surface, then paint the entire thing black first, then hit it with chrome paint. for some reason chrome paint shines better with a black base coat.

Another great restoration. It’s amazing how much work it took for something we can just get from a supermarket nowadays.

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

Thank you! That's true; after this project, I certainly appreciate more homemade products than before 😀

[@Serenity_Dee]

I had to Google to figure out what you were churning to make butter; here in the US we usually use heavy cream to make butter if we make it at home, which isn't so thick that you need a spoon to take it out of the package. I don't think I've ever seen "thick cream" on the shelves here. Also, I think the drain on the bottom is meant to be used to remove the buttermilk from the butter once you're done churning, but I haven't ever seen a churn that works like that one before, so I could easily be wrong. The hand-cranked butter churns I'm familiar with have a four-flanged paddle that spins inside a fixed container, rather than a fixed paddle and a rotating drum.

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

Yes, that was 36% fat cream, here you can find it in every shop. You are right; the drain is used for draining the buttermilk, but my copper pipe got filled up with butter, and I couldn't use it in the video (trying to avoid messy situations). 🙂

[@horatiohornblower868]

Considering the low amount of fat in his cream (32%) it is almost a wonder that he ended up with butter at all.

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

Desired level of fat in cream for butter making is 33 to 40 per cent. Standardisation to higher and lower levels leads to higher fat loss in buttermilk. Reduction of fat by adding water should be avoided as it interferes ripening of cream and also results in butter with flat or washed-off flavour. You're welcome! 🙂

[@jpalan]

​@@rustyshadesrestorationIn my country we have a 36% whipping cream, which is liquid but has worked ok for me when I have made butter. Makes me wonder how your cream is different if the fat content is same. Maybe I also missed something and I'm too lazy to rewind, but did you treat the inside of the churn in any way, or did you just remove the rust and dirt?

Last one we used with just one fresh cow was a glass jar of a gallon or gallon and a half, with the paddles attached to the lid with a gear assembly. Slow, but worked. If lacking even that, shaking the milk in a jar worked, too. We’d hang the butter in cheesecloth and let the whey drip out.

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

I have one like that too, but only the mechanism. I have to find a jar that fits, and maybe I'll give it a try!

[@mred8002]

@@rustyshadesrestoration I think they were made so the mechanics would fit on the big pickle jars or restaurant size mayonnaise jars, as they were often broken , since the children were tasked epithet the chore. Haven’t seen ours in decades, so maybe it has a new home. Haven’t had a cow tor forty years.

TBH, I make my butter, in an old, 250g coffee jar. Keep it cool, and shake it until the whey, separates, then wash it with ice water; shape it, and there you have it - maybe add a little salt, if you like. I find that one x 600ml supermarket cream, makes about 240g of butter. (and you can use the whey in scones).

At the risk of nitpicking, brazing cast iron is stronger than welding repairs. The base material becomes weak in the heat zone when welding cast iron.

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

I can't agree with you. I just had a project a few months ago where I had to weld a cast iron Doctor Scale. Guess what? I have 91 kg, and I'm still using it almost weakly. So, maybe brazing is good, but I'll never subestimate a correct good weld. Best, Johnny

Frankly, the best wrench in this case is a "Crescent " wrench, or as we like to call it, "the universal metric" wrench. Believe-it-or-not, there are 8-point sockets here, and one of them is 3/8", a perfect fit for your project. There is another work-around, using a 3/8" drive socket, but it's messy..

Great job very well done. What did you use? Here in Bharat we use cream collected after refrigerating hot milk collected over a few day i.e. 3-4 days we then add live yogurt culture to it and allow it to curdle overnight and also to ferment slightly this is then churned and after the butter starts to separate we add ice cold water and churn again and this separates the butter out very well and we get a good quantity of Butter Milk too which is very tasty and can be drunk by adding some salt. Butter milk is pretty much high in protein and is healthy.
