I have no idea why I can’t stop watching your videos. I’m an N scale model railroader, not a restorer but it’s just so amazing to see the transformation.

[@TheFabrik]

Thanks a lot Mark. I love N scale ! I had a railway when I was younger :)

Hi, Wow another amazing restoration, the end result is a Cheese Grater that looks better than when it was new. Cheers, Paul

[@user-tq5lu1wp7e]

In Germany, where this maschine was build, it was normaly used for potatoes to make a kind of potatoes balls or flat potatoe Pancakes. I use one at home, my grandmother had just done IT.

[@PADADDIE]

Came for the restoration - Stayed for the food! Nice work!

[@TheFabrik]

Thanks a lot Dave 👍🏻

[@petervelten7309]

My grandma had one like that. Since you can also make wonderful breadcrumbs with. Meine Oma hatte auch so einen. Da kann man auch wunderbar Paniermehl mit machen.

[@olciaxxxdd]

We had one too. But I never knew it was for shredding cheese, not making bread crumbs lol

[@alanharney5278]

Mmmm. Raclette. Aligot. Gougere. Fondue. Not to mention the triple creams. Oh, the choices! Thanks Mr. Fabrik.👌

[@TheFabrik]

Oh merci !! 🧀

[@i93sme]

This is also used for walnuts. Grate them, mix the result with sugar, coat some pasta with it and bingo, easy and cheap dessert

[@TheFabrik]

Oh great ! I shall try that ;) thanks 😃👍🏻

[@i93sme]

@@TheFabrik this is a staple dessert in parts of Transylvania, at the table you would get 3 bowls, one with pasta, one with sugar, one with grated walnuts typically made with this contraption, and everyone would make his own ‘walnuts pasta’ by mixing as much as they want from each bowl

[@christopherprince3250]

Perfect, would love too have it in my kitchen

[@ulrich.hoffmann]

We have exactly the same grater in our kitchen . It is in the family for decades, still in use and unrestored!

Oh wow I hope that one will last for decades too !!

Bonjour The Fabrik, Content de visionner cette nouvelle video. Je vois que vous continuez l'équipement de la cuisine avec du matériel à l'épreuve du temps ! Et encore une fois merci pour vos excellentes videos ! Celle là me touche car quand j'étais mome dans les années 60, ma maman avait un appareil de ce type (pas tout à fait celui là) pour raper le fromage... Et bravo pour le comté 24 mois d'affinage. Excellent choix :-) !

Hai fatto un buon restauro. L'unica cosa che suggerisco sulla pulizia della grattugia e ' che dopo avere passato lo spazzolino metallico, di passarci un magnete per evitare che i fili di acciaio vengano ingurgitati.

Grazie per il consiglio ! 😉

Very interesting. Ich benutze so eine Trommelreibe von meiner Mutter noch heute, um damit Kartoffeln zu reiben für Kartoffelpuffer. Sorry, my translater dosnt know Trommelreibe und Kartoffelpuffer, but it ist better to use this, then plastic maschines.

[@philippeperrin8675]

Vu l'âge il est souhaitable de contrôler l'absence de peinture au plomb avant un sablage.

[@patounet331]

Vu le peu de surfaces, je ne crois vraiment pas que ce soit d'une importance capitale ! Il ne faut pas tomber dans des excès ...

[@philippeperrin8675]

@@patounet331 Le plus important dans ma remarque concerne l'enlèvement par sablage dans le cas de peinture au plomb. Ce procédé va mettre en suspension les particules effectivement en petit volume. Sauf que ce sera à chaque utilisation ultérieure avant changement de ce sable pollué, plus une surexposition lors des ouvertures et du renouvellement. Raison pour laquelle dans ce cas, le décapage chimique est à privilégier.

[@patounet331]

@@philippeperrin8675 J'avais bien fait la relation entre sablage et particules volatiles, mais je réitère ma pensée dans le sens où un éventuel saturnisme ne saurait être déclenché par une exposition transitoire au plomb ! Pour info, j'ai passé 40 ans de ma vie à effectuer des soudures électroniques à base d'étain/plomb et je tenais le fil de soudure dans la bouche qui me servait de "troisième main" ! Cela tout en respirant les fumées de la fusion ainsi que les vapeurs de toluène (décapant) en fumant mes 2 paquets de gauloises sans filtre ! Je suis toujours là et aucun problème jusqu'à présent !

Is there anybody that might be able to help me I know nothing about sandblasters but I really like the concept I know that you sandy was using glass beads to do this do you reuse the glass beads in the sand over and over again or do you throw it away once it has all the paint particles in it that it's sandblasting off just curious what happens with the sand after one user do you keep reusing it or what do you do with the old saying that has all the particles in it just teaching me something that I don't know the only stupid question is the one you don't ask I was wondering if somebody could teach me a little something thank you very much

[@TheFabrik]

Thanks a lot for watching and also commenting ! 🙌 The glass beads can be reused several times ! I replace them every year

[@victorunbea8451]

your plating seems a bit aggressive. When plating, you're looking for metal deposition with minimum bubbles. Bubbling means hydrogen on the anode which will make the plating less resistant. Try to lower the voltage next time

[@TheFabrik]

Yep you’re right. Too high voltage with bubbles means black nickel 😒 Thanks for the tip 😉
