Narrated: 1890s' Most Unnecessarily Complicated Apple Peeler [Restoration]

Comments

Stephen Boots

That's sure an amazing piece of engineering. Nice restoration!

Felix

Hex nuts? Seems odd. I tough for sure something this old would use only square nuts.

Jeremy Abel

Mr. Hand Tool Rescue, I love you, I really do, but I have to say something. In your fantastic intro, at 0:22, at the cut from Evapo-Rust to your lovely face, you skip a single beat in the music, and as a musician, it drives me crazy every single time. If you'd like, you could send me the unedited intro music and I'd happily trim it to the desired length but without the missing beat. If not, that's entirely fine, I will imagine that extra beat instead :P

The actual date of production is unknown on this one. I just know they started production in the 1890s.

Haha, I get this comment a lot. I can totally send you the audio if you want a shot at it! Send me an email at handtoolrescue@gmail.com and thank you for the offer!

It's always a little on the expensive side, if it's got "Apple" in its name.

Marc McKenzie

HTR, this was excellent on all counts: your enthusiasm for the piece, your thoughtful, balanced restoration, and of course a fantastic machine we would never find today. Looking at the machine I was mesmerized by the lavishly done castings, finished in an era of no compressed air tools or power die grinders. Maybe they had water wheel or steam powered overhead axels which used belt drive to power particuarly grinders and sanders - but everything was loving, hard, and painstaking physical work.

Bill Holt

So great. Mr. Rescue, what's your paint stripper of choice? Specifically, what would you recommend for cast aluminum?

designed by dr. seuss's ancestors perhaps?

Peter Laws

"The Nuts Are Cast Iron." Something of a surprise. I would have thought that cast iron nuts would have ... . . . . . . . . . . ... made it hard to walk.

I know being a patron means I've paid for the privilege of listening to the narration to these videos, but the time, effort and humour you put into them - it's a shame they can't be appreciated by a wider audience.

I was honestly not ready for how fast that thing did its job... Watching all of it come apart and not knowing anything about it, then to watch it go back together and BAM! Peeled apple. What about coating it in something like coconut oil? That would be food safe and might keep it from rusting after every use...

Jon Svenson

I used to use one of the simpler apple skin remover and slicer that attached to the counter top so my mom could make apple sauce and apple pies. We would go for hours and hours, the device locking up frequently because it was designed so poorly. I can't fathom how quickly we would have finished if we would have had that device at our fingertips. Next project: remake this device and sell it for some crazy price. I bet you would have plenty of takers! My vote for best episode yet!

Bjorn Andersen

I want one and i dont even like apples....

Hi, new Patron here! This was the first Video I saw over on YouTube. I stumbled over restauration videos since we here in Germany were also permitted to go outside for a few weeks... Thanks Corona... Since I have an old house which my ancestors build themselves, they were all carpenters, together with an old shop and quite a few old tools I now began to rescue some of them myself. I absolutely love your passion and the effort you put into your work. I hope someday I can reach that level too. Definitely will buy a wrench, maybe as a Christmas gift to myself. I hope we'll all see further great restaurations in the future. Curious to learn from you're educational videos as well. Greetz from Germany. Excuse my shitty af english...
