1890 Cheese Wheel Cutter Restoration - Cast Iron
Today I'm restoring an old country store cheese wheel cutter from 1890! It's made of solid cast iron and built to last. I started by sandblasting it to remove the rust, then powder coating to bring it back the shine. I cut the cheese!

Beginner Powder Coating: amzn.to/3eYHN3n

There are tons of restoration videos out there, most of which include buying replacement parts. This video is the real deal. All the way down to repairing the simple cutting board. Would have been much easier to just cut a new one, but that's the difference between restoration and replacement.
Idk if that cutting board was original. Was plywood around in 1890?
@@_LocalGhost_ It was, but it wasn't used that commonly for anything, but household pieces until the lathe was invented in the 1920s. The patent for what could be called Plywood first came out in 1865. In 1880, it became a common material for household things like furniture, so this cheese cutter would have been right on time for the emergence of common plywood manufacturing.
@@shockwave6213 TIL! Thanks! :)
😞😞😞😞😞😞
The real question is was powder coating around in 1890?
Not only are you a master of restoration, camera work, and editing, you're also a great cook!!! Wow I feel lacking right now.
Be kind to yourself, you can be awesome in your own way too :)
@Pedro Asafe bruhhhhhhhh
I am sure you have something you are good at. Please do not compare and put yourself down like that! Every person is different and has their own strength and weaknesses. I haven't met a single person to date who isn't good at something! Same goes to you. Sometimes it just takes some time to discover. Love yourself, be kind and try yourself out
@Pedro Asafe got the reference even if it isn’t in my native language. Gosh I love google sometimes.
Hey you can always learn, it's never too late
I’ve watched a lot of review channels, and I love how this guy actually uses the things he’s restores rather than just end the video as soon as he’s done restoring it. Oh and also I love how he doesn’t play some obnoxious ass music while it’s happening to.
Agree. Your comment made me realize why these videos are so mesmerizing - no obnoxious music! Yay!
Not only an awesome restorer but an awesome cook too. Multi talented
FRR LOL
I am 73 years old ,, when I was a little girl I use to watch my dad work. he sit me down & told me not to move I did what he said I watch him until lunch time & again that afternoon. watching you is almost watching my dad. thank you.
Thats so sweet!
The EXACT same reason why I watch these videos at 43. Hugs to you 💜
aww this is the best thing ive heard all day
Aww, that's so incredibly sweet! I love these kinds of stories.
The fact that the cutting blade was so shiny and reflective that I didn't know it was there shows how amazing this guy is
Same when he showed the before and after I was confused for a moment.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
You do impeccable work! Simple, detailed and respectful to both the company that originally produced the item and to the item itself! BRAVO!! I have one issue on this particular restoration. The cutting board material. Correct me if I’m wrong but wouldn’t the original board been either solid maple or oak? The use of plywood over a solid piece makes little sense to me when you consider both the era it was manufactured and the quality of its construction. Please accept my humble apologies if I am mistaken. Regardless, thank you for your videos and please continue your fine work.
Same!!! I had to rewatch, it's amazing! The cutting board was perfectly circular in the reflection lol
@@dashingcatto ١٢
Part of what I love about these videos is seeing all the cool little gadgets there are. That one used to heat the hinge for example. Never knew that was a thing!
I know, right?! I could've used that thing several times a few years back LOL
A propane gas torch would also work.
@@Simonsimon-fy3hq Theoretically, but it was less than a foot from some very old, very dry wood. An open flame would have been extremely risky.
Go go gadget hinge warmer
I really loved how you used all the existing parts and fixed them. This Cheese Wheel Cutter, I believe, looks better now than it did when it was originally made.
Love the lil cooking show at the end there lol
The mirror shine on the blade… wow. And my favorite thing about this restoration channel is that the stuff getting restored actually gets used at the end!
Same!
It's so satisfying to see how smooth it works after the restoration. It's said that in the future we won't have this kind of work anymore since things are nowadays design not to last. Congratulations on the channel, your work both with the restoration and the video is perfect. I'd like to see more descriptions on each phase though.
Its satisfying to see how shiny his tools are and how shiny he makes the final product .... I love it
This is the exact reason that high quality needs to be legally mandated.
They absolutely still make them, but you're not the target demographic. xD
You are one talented man. Not only do you restore stuff, but clearly you are a consummate chef as well? Wow! Boy that meal at the end looks really GOOD!!!
Oh I was salivating 😢 😅
I think what I like about his videos is that he doesn’t just restore it, he uses it too I just think that it’s cool that he bought a cheese wheel just because he found this rusty probably in the junkyard or a friend had it
I wholeheartedly agree! When the grill lit up, my reaction was "No way...". And then he cut a small slice and I nearly cheered :P He's also very, VERY thorough especially with polishing and cleaning.
@@Xw3dn3sd4yX YES, exact same reaction but I worded it as “ He’s f****ing cooking too!? “ 🤣
@@mayhemovich46 he can even make candy!! Check out the candy roller video if you haven't yet!
It's cool that he restores them. It's even better that he shows you how these things worked. Since they're so old some people have never seen these kind of things
@@Xw3dn3sd4yX when I saw the thumbnail I thought “wait is HE MAKING GODDAMNCANDY WITH IT” it’s a great vid
Please take a moment of appreciation that he doesn’t just get new screws, he restores the old ones.
Why?
Yeah, he's the coolest restorer
@@jasonsimms8251 because it is always better to save all you can because they are part of the original machine and if you replace everything it can cut the value by a lot.
@@daviddunnington9530 ok
Would be refurbishing then and not restoring
What a lovely restoration. It looks and works like new. I love the addition of the food at the end! You're making me hungry!
Cheese makes everything better. Excellent work!
By far the most impressive and best-edited restoration channel on KZhead!
I agree...but for someone who finds this kind of thing fascinating, I still feel like i don't know know what the purpose of each step is. Keep in mind, I have little to no knowledge of restoration and metal works.
Honestly, dude, I don't blame you.
@dk bruh where did I say it was supposed to be?
@dk bruh no, he said that he felt like he still didnt understand what each step's purpose is. thats not him saying the video didnt go in depth.
Very good but best channel is my mechanics.
That extra cheese footage at the end? *chef’s kiss*
What a feast! That made me hungry!
Good ol' 1890's lunch
My absolute favourite part of these videos is watching the paint melt in the heated cabinet. It’s like alchemy!
In your absence I watched other restorers and found myself talking to the screen saying, no, no, thats not right. Thats not how Rescue & Restore does it. Please don’t stay away so long next time. Really love your work you R&R Beast.
That burger at the end was glorious enough to make Dagwood cry.
I missed this one. Glad I found it. Loved the magic of the red. Do you think you’ll be back? You’re the best restorer. I tried watching a couple of other restores, but no one can touch you. Hope you’re okay.
I was watching this video and then my neighbour came and we watched it together. He said that this video changed his life and touched his heart. I then went and rented a projector in a big field and my entire town watched it and it changed their lives too. We all are so grateful. Thank You for this video….
Oh my god
I am an experienced engineer myself and I can only admire this work. Meticulous attention to every small detail, not taking any shortcuts, doing everything ‘the right way’, not the ‘easy way.’ Lovely to watch! Great workshop outfit as well.! And In addition to all that engineering goodness, the video quality, editing, and production are just fantastic.! Keep those video’s coming.!
Its insane, watching it myself some arta of the restoration i definitely wouldve skipped if i were doing it
@@KelpyG. Arts*
The video quickly changed to a cookery show by the end 😁
Gotta love a multi talented guy !
And we still like it
This is the cheeses video I've ever seen
It's not a cookery show. It's foodporn.
@@ink3539 true!!
I'm always amazed by the amount of effort and details that you put into your work. Tks so much for uploading these videos
Your attention to the smallest detail is what sets you apart, it is entrancing to watch. I would be honored to have you restore anything! Also love the demonstration you do after the restoration, a work of art.☺️ You have a great sense of humor too.😂
I love that your videos have no additional sound effects or voice-overs. Just simple restoration process that makes it easy to focus on what you are doing.
And thankfully No bad music. 🙏🏻
Just admit it, you did this entire restoration to make a cut the cheese joke. 😂 Welcome back!
THAT ENDING !!!! God, I love these videos. Thank you!
My favorite parts are the use of playing cards as an element of restoration work and the powder coated painting. The only part of the video that gives me anxiety is when he starts sanding the bolts and I know how much time is gonna be spent just sanding to prep a part for additional work... Then I see him switching to faster methods and feel relieved. Lol. This cheese cutter vid and the hard candy roller video made my day today. I absolutely loved them both and will probably watch them both again in the future. Mostly because of the food prep that was done with the tools after they were completely restored. My only qualm is a minute one, the blade sharpening section is something I would've done differently, with sharpening stones and a specialized jig made for holding any sized blade at the correct angle(s) needed to sharpen them and then used that. This qualm is mostly about precision and I think goes well with the level of care placed into each project I've seen on this channel so far. But this is a cheese knife... What was done is sufficient. Lol. I'm just rediculous and this guy did an absolutely fantastic job restoring this item. I was extremely pleased the entire time watching both videos and can't wait to see more of them.
Oh man, that paint came out looking so premium. The whole thing looks like an expensive car now.
Right? I legit thought this was a new Mazda
Not paint, powder coating.
not paint
This is amazing. Imagine telling someone the cheese cutter was 100+ years old. Looks like something you could buy today.
nah - the new thing would break the first time you try to cut a large piece of actual hard cheese like parmesan.
Couldn't afford that today!
I wish I knew what planet you live on. Absolutely nothing we manufacture today looks any where near what this cheese cuter looks like. 🤯👎
@@christophedallaporta8836 I think your missing the point of what I’m saying. I’m saying that it looks brand new and you couldn’t tell it was 100+ years old. It would be an unusual product to buy today though.
@@justinun01 I apologize for not getting your point. I just hope I didn't sound too harsh.
I love taking old wooden furniture and refinishing it, doing craft projects, wood burning, building shelves, tables, painting, really anything I get in my head to fiddle with. Well my boyfriend bought me a drimmel. I have never used one before, but now I see why he bought it for me. After seeing all the different ways to use the attachments, I'm looking forward to refinishing old finds, not just wood furniture, although that's my favorite. There's just a joy in taking something one person sees as trash and making it beautiful again.
I think the final goal of this channel's dude is to open a restaurant with only tools he restaurated. Great work as always, very satisfying👌
I love how he still has the gloves on during the entire meal making sequence. Real professional right here
Lol. I was scrolling to find a comment about the gloves! I don't feel alone anymore. 😆
Hell, I thought he painted his hands Grey....LOL
Same when he made mini brownies and scrambled eggs when he restored a toy oven/stove
professionals, have STANDARDS.
Worth the wait! Slice to see you again! I'll let myself out.
Saw my first video from this channel earlier today. Hands down my new favorite content creator. I love how you use your restorations after completion
The amount of care and respect that he has for everything that he restores is truly inspirational and heartwarming.
Be honest: none of you thought that lead paint test was gonna come up negative lol!
I think I know how to do some of this stuff because I've watched so many of his videos. Not at all🤣🤣 But once I saw those gloves, I was lead test!🤗
I’m surprised at the number of ones that are negative.
Even knowing that, I'm always aprehensive at that part lol
kzhead.info/tools/Z08AKbOBuaQC0sh8hcI5nQ.html🙏🙏
I didn’t care.. 😬 I wouldn’t have bothered to test...
I’ve never been able to watch a video like this all the way through without skipping, but your style, precision, and dedication kept my interest piqued the entire time, well done 👀❤️
This Fella is excellent....let me reccomend my mechanics if you enjoy R & R , you will enjoy my mechanics..

I can’t stop watching these. These restorations are insane. Love your videos. Seriously the attention to detail, the items you’ve invested in/upgraded to make everything as perfect as possible… top notch
I have never had a KZhead channel melt away my anxiety like this one. Every video is amazing and I can’t thank you enough
Ohhh I want that mini inductor!

Make a new one
Make a new one (or restore an old one)
I bet you do buddy lol.
Screw that, i want the burger !!!!
First, he restores the cutter and then he films cooking a whole meal with it? Actually 💀 right now. New subscriber.
Found your channel kind of by accident and WOW! You do AMAZING work! This is so relaxing and enchanting to watch! LOVE that you have such an eye for detail right down to the littlest component and you actually restore and only remake if absolutely necessary! You are a true master of your craft! Could watch you all day! Thank you for sharing♥
I love how shiny the pieces are! Beautiful!😮
I’d never need/use this tool, but I have no doubt the factory that originally made it would be speechless how you turned it into a work of art.
Seriously that thing is freakin BEATIFUL
@@electronicsaxman1 Well good luck cutting cakes with ease.
Yup
@@lucasstouffer7675 He didn't paint it.
@@lucasstouffer7675 I agree. I didn’t like the red paint with gold flecks that he chose. It’s a very modern paint color. I like it when they keep it as close to the original as possible. The original red was very bright not darker red. He modernized it 🥴
Why is it so satisfying to hear the sounds of the metal, drill, hammer, and every other sound that comes with the restoration?
ASMR
Cause the process is satisfying. Your brain makes the sounds satisfying as well?
Why I imagined dentists?
What kinda dentists are you going to???
Only drill sounds I like, I still can't deal with dentist drills tho 🤣
Lots of these restoring channels have their specialty. Your paint jobs are the best by far.
I like the way you demonstrate how the item works after you’ve restored it- like you did with the candy press in the other video as well. Great attention to detail on your restorations and the filming/editing of your videos. Good job bro.
Sick! I'm working on one right now. Surprisingly complex.
Hi, I've been following your channel since it started, excellent channel
as usual 😅✌🏻
The Gizmositer has become the Gizmositee.
@@MrJunk78 How the turn tables.
What is this? A crossover episode?
Next channel Rescue & Restore & Cook. Those were some really delicious looking meals at the end.
Rescue, restore, refuel, and refresh. I love that!
It made me laugh that he was still wearing his black gloves during the plating, the cake cutting, and the drink pouring!
That was health food.
🇵🇼0
kau melakukannya dengan detail yang luar biasa, menakjubkan!
You did a masterful job with that cutting board. It was so sad looking I was worried you were just going to replace it, and somehow you got it looking refreshed and beautiful again. Awesome
Watching the clean efficiency of the restore extend into cooking was unexpected but totally welcome!
As a professional metal worker for 26 years, this guy knows what he’s doing. Props to him. Fantastic attention to detail even though he probably has anger issues. Lmao. Great video. :)
Anger issues?
what makes him have anger issues?
@@lars.equals.laurentius Some people do this as stress relief, although I only work in fast food so I can't really confirm that besides the anger issues lol
@@midgetarmy1921 ohh, that makes sense
Cleaning is statisfying so is restoration, it is stress release ofc
I came here for the restoration, now all I want to see is you cook more and show recipes, food looks amazing, also good job on the restoration 🤤
I've been watching your videos for years and am absolutely amazed at the knowledge and attention to detail that goes into this! Probably thee most satisfying thing to watch! Thank you from Iowa!!
This is high quality restoration... Congrats for your precise and dedication
I absolutely love the time and craftsmanship that goes into every one of these builds. Very well done
Hear ye! As well the filming, and editing of these vids...stunning! 👍
I want everything in my life powder-coated cherry red.
Your videos are so satisfying, especially when the sandblast takes away the paint and rust, the polishing wheel polishes metals to a mirror gloss shine, and the screw maker (sorry, have no idea what it's called) cuts through metal like it's softened butter to make new screws and bolts. You are so talented with all the woodwork, metalwork, painting, camera work, editing, and cooking (I'm probably forgetting some talents/hobbies, let's be honest). That meal at the end; you are a man after my own heart! 😋 I get so happy and excited for you at seeing you grow in your craft of restoration and putting in new editing techniques, transitions, and humor into new videos to make them uniquely yours. Can't wait to see what you come up with next! ❤️
Honestly, I think you restored it better than other KZheadrs would
I have missed you!! Taking time out of my busy day because of this video that I have been waiting on for weeks. Thank you.
Remarkable restoration!! I never even heard of a cheese wheel cutter. This would be a beautiful thing to have on display in one’s kitchen.
Pride of place in a real cheese store.
That sandblasting is for some reason, very satisfying to watch!
This red is absolutely GORGEOUS; and one of the best restoration i've ever seen ! ❤
Oh my god we've been waiting for u welcome back!!
I love that there was a close up of "food safe" on the label!
He reminds me of my dad.. Papa is as multitalented as you are, he invents restores and is a great cook
Ok, this randomly played while I was sanding down my sleeping baby's fingernails. I ended up getting hooked. Then the amazing food at the end started happening, and I was like, whoa whoa whoa! Hold up- this just got even better. So satisfying. It was like getting a bonus prize after already winning the game.
Look who’s back 🤩
All my favourite channels watch each other, this is awesome. You both do awesome work.
You both are awesome
About time
Love your video
Both of you are absolute masters
You know, Ur the reason I get in trouble when I try to do restoration projects myself. And I love it
When i saw him fill the container with that red i got so excited because that red is absolutely stunning
Our local Grocer had a cheese cutter like this when I was a girl. Slice weigh and wrap in grease proof paper. It was fun to watch. I love watching all the different tools you use. How satisfying this must be for you restoring these. It’s satisfying watching you.
I love watching old things get restored and used for proper uses again. It may sound stupid to think about, but I like to think the object would be able to feel happiness about being able to serve its existence again. Like it lost hope until one day it gets fixed to its prior glory and is able to do what it's supposed to again.
These are so interesting to watch. We need a couple videos that show on the screen what the unfamiliar processes are called…for us dummies who know very little about this stuff.
That paint process was crazy!! It came out beautifully
Always love that bright red color paint !
Editing and pace is top-notch as usual. The food ASMR at the end tho *chef's kiss*
The professionalism and awesome in these restorations, is something I will always appreciate. Some of the best content to hit KZhead. Great work
This guy has more patience than I've ever seen. Such beautiful work. There's no way this stuff is even nearly as nice from the factory. But for all that skilled labor and time. I guess it's just practice. A toned hobby. All that work so that he could slice cheese.
Binge watching now after the candy machine video. Another awesome restoration. Such simplicity in the kitchen gadgets of yesteryears and yet so effective. You really make these videos a pleasure to watch. I enjoy all the attention to detail.
Now that's the kind of cheese that I don't mind being cut, great to see you posting again and fabulous job!
The best restorations with the best tools and this new metallic red looks beautiful. Congratulations. Upload more videos.
É br é?
You have to be a pretty special and extremely patient person to do this work absolutely amazing. Freaking fascinated I can't stop watching
The restoration before and after is just fascinating and satisfying, and nothing better than rewarding yourself with delicious food out of the equipment you revived😌
Wth man, i was just about to go to sleep. Guess that'll have to wait another 20 mins.
it's amazing how much of a story good camerawork and editing is able to tell in lieu of narration, even as a viewer who lacks any knowledge or experience with restoration
The video is amazing and the plot captivates and does not leave a person indifferent. Thank you for the video!!!
The perfect balance of ASMR and restoration
Love how he prepares the food with the black gloves on too...
Professionals have standards
This was the best part! Hilarious!
i love your restorations, the few ive seen so far are like ASMR and i feel like im learning manufacturing processes that are just so intriguing like i always wondered a s a kid how certain things looked the way they did. your restorations may be an art in their own right, but your videos are works of art in themselves too!
104 likes and yet no other replies, huh, anyways it do be kinda like that
He pours a cold beer into a frosted mug ❄️🍺 Classy. You know your stuff, my man. 👍
This Restoration was a CUT Above the Rest!!
Let’s just take a minute to appreciate how much this dude spent on a wheel of cheese for this video
He even cooked food with cheese at the end
God, that meal at the end made me want to die. That looked soooo good, so yummy!! Loved the video!
This was absolutely awesome to watch!!!
Watching them bake/cure was my absolute favorite part. You did those shots so very well❤
