Rusty Roasting Spit Restoration

[@Blue-ff2qv]

Am I the only one who absolutely loves the breakdown process? I am always amazed at how many parts went in simple machines like this.

[@coach3132]

That's all I watch it for

[@dangelle6283]

I wonder how they put them back in the correct place and order.

[@dookee2478]

Although very interesting..... I’m here for the sole purpose of trying it sleep at night 🙂

[@djsplatta2855]

Definitely love the breakdown process. Also love how it's all put back together and in working order.

[@NatalAttack]

I love how all the pieces were made with the intention to last (or at least be repaired).

[@iamrichrocker]

You find or seek to find the most interesting and rare items to restore..and i am amazed at how well these items are made..the craftsmanship of these items puts the new stuff to shame..and this is why i love these restoration videos..to bring back the good stuff..to show people what our ancestors had in their lives..thank you once again..

The hands tell the whole story, remarkable! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute. The guy who appeared with the weathered hands at 11:33 knows his way around the shop, I have much respect for him.. Thanks for the cat, tells me what kind of people you are , the compassion for everything and all living things, certainly reflects as a a mirror image to your good work ethics and professionalism . Beautiful job on disassembly/ assembly and repairs while maintaining its original state and appearance. It's something that you wouldn't want to see any other way! I'm a believer and a subscriber, keep up the awesome work and great videos! Two Thumbs up!!

[@sirhrmechanic2648]

I just bought one of these for restoration. A slightly later model, but same intervals. This video is really helpful! You saved me much head-scratching! Thanks for a Great video!

[@jamesrogers47]

I was pleased to see that you prudently chose to leave the mainspring coiled inside its housing. Perhaps you may come across one of those devices clockmakers use to coil and uncoil mainsprings (or maybe you could one day fabricate one for yourself.)

[@Vault57]

The chicken should be on the center rod of the spit and the adjustable tine would stick in the chicken to hold in place to keep it spinning and getting heat on all sides. The way it was set up, the chicken just rotated on the tine and the heavier side kept facing towards the fire. Really cool device though...

[@russellcampbell9641]

Like a true artiste, he can get a local peasant to show him the correct way of impalement.......lol!

[@kurtbarlow9402]

Ikr that's so neat. I'm pretty sure that their land is close to the western front. Framers still find artillery shells to this day. There's still those missing tunnels packed with explosives. There was 9 I believe but lightning found one. I would like to visit Verdun and passchendaele and the Somme one day.

A beautify restoration, as always. You probably shouldn't have greased the brass gears as they are self-lubricating. The grease only attracts dust which contributes to the wear.

[@ManoNegraCG]

What an interesting piece to restore! I loved the fact that you left the rough surfaces alone and didn't try to smoothen them out like so many other restorers do: it's part of their history and, well, antiquity. PS. I'd put that chicken on the actual spit and use smaller forks to keep it from spinning, but that's for another discussion :)

[@srh1101]

A very lovely restoration and such a great thing to have on a camp fire. A couple tips for you though. 1. When you tried repairing the handle you got the brass way too hot, that's why you used so much solder and it wouldn't stick. When doing that kind of repair just heat the brass only as hot as it needs to be to melt the solder. 2. Take all the mechanism back apart and strip all that grease off. You should never use it on a clock mechanism as it attracts dirt and grime and will eventually gum up the movement. If you need to lubricate it use a graphite based lubricant designed for clocks.

[@srh1101]

Oh, and it will work better if you have the meat on the centre spit rather than the wing you made to hold the meat. :)

[@pebblesthecat3625]

A very nice restoration - especially where you repaired both the brass handle and reshaped it, and the wooden one made from entirely new wood. That was an excellent job ! Personally, I would have like to have seen it done in a deep, burgundy red. With all that brass I think it would have made it look spectacular and "pop". It was especially nice to see Avril the cat supervising another project again, but I think you forgot to pay her for all the work she did - she was definitely sniffing around at the end of the video, looking for her payment in some form of roasted meat 🐔🐄🐖🐐🦃🐁🐃 rather than money.

I hope it was the cat. The chicken was on the spit wrong, it was always breast side down. That means the thighs wouldn't cook through without the breast burning. He's a great mechanic, but as a chef he falls a bit flat.
