Vintage BS: Stover: Farm-Home-Shop Items + New Axe

[@Mark-Marine]

You’re 100% right about the older American crafted items versus this modern junk. Not only were they made better, they certainly aged better. A shame those days are gone. If I had to guess on the one Stover product, I would say an ice shaver

[@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156]

Most all modern stuff is disposable junk. Stover made really top notch quality engines and equipment . You guessed right on the ice shaver.

My mom used to can tomatoes and she would hand grind Tomatoes into stewed tomatoes.grinder was really old and her mom had a old antique pasta maker hand cranked to make the pasta thank you for the video

Many interesting devices were made for food processing in the past that would last a lifetime given reasonable care.

The adjustment is made based upon “ the rule of thumb. The miller would put some of the ground meal between his thumb and fore finger and rub it together. If it was to coarse, he would adjust the grinder inward until he got the size meal he wanted. If it was like flour, he would adjust it outward until it felt like corn meal. This saying originated in flour mills of England, wind or water driven.

Always enjoy your videos! I have a grinder but it seems to be harder to turn than yours ,any advice on making it better?

[@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156]

I would recommend taking it completely apart and remove any debri or rust and check for it just being worn out.

Does that one tool remove the corn 🌽 from the cob? Also Mr Obsolete I posted a community picture of some McCulloch chainsaws pick up at an auction over the weekend. I tried to tag your channel so you could go over and see if you could make out what series chainsaw it was. I believe I know what it is now . Paid 25 dollars total for both 👍.....video coming soon......👍🤙

[@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156]

The grist mill doesn't remove the corn from the cob. I have several antique corn shellers that I will include in a video soon. I will watch for your video.

🤣🤣...I tried

[@Vizslarunner99]

It’s an Ice shaver. I have one it’s a marked Griswold . I also have a hinge that was made by stover.. I mean it’s just a hinge, but it’s a quality one!

[@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156]

It is an ice shaver, great guess. Stover made a lot of high quality items during their tenure.

[@johnclarke6647]

I will disagree with some. Even the Chinese junk has better steel in it, than steel from a century ago. It is just the workmanship in it that is the question.

[@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156]

After working on modern Chinese junk and vintage iron, the vintage stuff is so much better. For instance, trying to machine a steel shaft made in modern China, one will find soft and hard spots which damages the cutting tools, while machining old American made steel, it cuts smooth and easy, so I know from experience that modern China stuff is crapola by comparison.
