Great history lesson on washers! I've used wringer washers and scrub boards. When my kids were young, I couldn't afford the laundromat and didn't have a washer, I bought a good plunger for $6 (1983) and used it in the bathtub to wash the clothes! It sure gave me a workout but it sure beat using a scrub board!! The first "industrial" would have helped get them done quicker! lol

The act of washing clothes is simple but the simpler it gets the harder it is physically!

I love the enthusiasm this man has.

[@JackNtheVideoBox]

He is into his craft. That is for certain!

Believe it or not. Poor people use a wash tub. A plunger. A tote of clear water. And a heavy duty industrial mop ringer today and hang there cloths out on a cloths line. Wash on Monday. Iron on Tuesday. However this is such a cool set up I can't hardly believe it's real. Lol. Great video sir.

[@JackNtheVideoBox]

It was an outstanding set up indeed!

[@PaulHojda]

So you could churn butter, grind meat, and do laundry all in the same device. Quite impressive.

The original multi-tasking device from Red Boiling Springs, Tennessee!

@ 2:11 sec. Car washes still use that type except they're electric. Sometimes vintage just works better for the purpose

[@JackNtheVideoBox]

Vintage provides a great explanation of how the process works!
