Noodles Machine Restoration - We Are Making Homemade Noodles For You!
In this restoration video, you will see me restoring an antique noodles/pasta machine. The machine looks like it was handmade by a master of those times, and some parts were hand-forged.
The machine is made of heavy cast iron with some bronze parts. I tried to keep an antique look and preserve the marks of time that are working to prove its age/authenticity. I removed only the prominent casting marks. Such machines can be found in a meager number, or sometimes unique, like in this case, and covering them with metal filler or sanding till a perfectly smooth surface can be a significant mistake. The real masters of restoration know this very well.
The restoration process took me almost a month due to too many pieces to restore/repair. I used only food-graded products (paint and oil).
Making homemade noodles is more fun and easy than I expected, even though the first attempt failed. It was only needed to add a bit more flour. I firmly believe that this pasta machine was meant to be hung on the wall so you can easily insert the cake and crank the handle, and the pasta will just fall into a bowl.
I hope I have caught everything, but if you have any questions, you can comment, and I'll get back to you!
Cheers! Johnny.

Hi folks! This time, I restored a unique machine! It was fun, but it also took a lot of time, over 3 weeks, due to the many parts that needed to be cleaned/repaired/restored. In contrast, I've tried my best to preserve its authenticity and preserve it as it is for others to see how these machines were hand-forged and the hard work that masters of those times were putting into it! I hope you will find the video satisfying and educational; if so, please give it a thumbs up and Subscribe for more! Thank you for all your support! Johnny!
This is not a pasta Maker, this is a tobacco cutter
@@Frank.TreiberCould well be!
I really want to see you make a dish with it
😅ড়😊
Тесто тонкое нужно, у нас такие до сих пор существуют
People disliking the video because the machine itself is terrible are missing the point. Terrible products are released all the time. This man went though the process of restoring this abomination to show it off. Good or bad, its an accomplishment that he got it in working order. Let it be displayed for all to see on how very, very much not to make a noodle making machine
It is part of history and shows how the noodle machines evolved. 🙂
I'd rathe buy instant noodles than eat from that machine@@rustyshadesrestoration
I on the other hand dislike because it looks worse than rusted.
@@Deses and you're a dummy. YEAH
The machine is not terrible, it most likely needs a different recipe of dough, some machines need a dryer dough. I make 2 types of pasta, one is a very dry dough (almost crumbles) made with semolina flour and that gets used with a pasta maker on the kitchen aid but i cant use that dough with the other machine i have and vice versa.
I'm so glad you used your sandblaster instead of your laser. With lasers, the light/ fire/smoke is in the way and you don't get the satisfaction was watching rust and paint just *poof* away. So happy to see it used again.
That was some rough ass casting. Enjoyed watching you spend many many hours polishing this turd. You did a great job.
Thank you so much! 🙂 I've tried to remove the nasty casting marks, but only the ones that may cause accidents. The rest, I decided to keep it as proof of its age. Once again, thank you for watching! Cheers
Looks forged, not cast. Like it was worked into Shape
@@Hyratel The raw material is cast iron, the manufacturing is forging and really bad weld. And the rollers were stamped. Notice the rough surface, but no mold mark, it must've been cut from a slab and the legs hammered and cut into shape. The little pieces to the side holding the long bolts are welded, most likely made from trimmings from that same piece of cast iron plate. This last two procedures were likely done to make the most out of the plate.
There's something very satisfying about watching solvent loosen up rusty parts. 😁
i work as a pasta maker, very interesting to see different/earlier versions of the machines i use everyday. very happy i am not using this one hehe
I dont know who laid down the pattern for these videos, but nearly every other restorer has followed. The video is about the restoration, not a platform to promote the personality of the person. No talking, the occasional subtitles, and most of all, no mjnd numbing muzak. Bravo!
Thank you for your feedback. 🙂
Well done! That’s an interesting contraption...... and if anyone guessed what this was they are a genius!
There was only one person who guessed!
Nice restoration! So many parts!!! Now it is ready for a museum, I will keep my Kitchen Aid stand mixer with the pasta attachment. I Iove to see these old appliances brought to life, I am just glad that I don't have to use them today.
I very much like the way you worked to preserve the hand forged authenticity. And left the marks of time, only covering them with paint. It's one thing to change something that is newer, but old wonders like this machine speaks volumes of those times.
I'm delighted to know that you appreciate that! Best, Johnny
All those plates, good grief! Tons of work for sure. Well done!
Thank you! 🙂
Ome!!!!! Someone soaking all the screws at one time rather than one by one😮 amazing
크게 다시 쓰이긴 어려울 텐데도 저런 골동품을 수리하다니 대단히 놀랍네요. 박수 보냅니다.
Thank you! 🥰
Very interesting video. Great to think it was never scrapped, a little bit of history right in your hands. I wondered if it would work better putting the sheet of pasta in the other way round from the front. Just an idea. Thanks guys.
Splendid job. I bet it took a whole lot of hard work and scrubbing to clean all the parts, not to mention electroplating the cutting discs in the noodle maker. It looks much better and it works like a charm too. Excellent work.
Yes, it was quite a project, but I'm pleased with how it turned out. See you at the next one! Cheers
I suspect that it might work better if mounted on the wall and with a ball of dough. That way the metal plates act as a hopper feed. Gravity will ensure the noodles are more likely straight and can be fed/cut to length as more dough is placed in the "hopper".
Yes, I agree with you. At that point, I didn't think about, but now I'm sure it must be mounted on the wall.
I guess everyone watching was expecting the result to smoothe and Shiney. Like that guy restoration...
Not in this case 😀
So many pieces; beautiful outcome indeed! ❤❤❤
Thank you! 🤗
I won't say it's bad. It's an interesting improvable machine :) Great restoration :)
Maybe it was wall mounted so the pasta would fall into a bowl?
Yes, I think the same as you!
My grandma had a machine like this and the dough we used is not like the dough you use today for noodles. It is a oil based dough and you use oil instead of flour on the machine. I used to run the crank for my grandma as she poured oil on the machine and put the dough through. The machine has to be turning before you start putting the dough through. It is just easier to have a second person cranking.
In germany we don't say "very well done!". We say" You coudn't have waste your time on a more satisfying project."
🥰🥰🥰 Danke!
Awesome job!!! Now you can use the butter churn to make some butter, add some garlic and toast some toast for garlic bread to go with your pasta!!! ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That's such a good idea! 🤤
что то не так , возможно она должна быть перевернута вертикально , и тесто вложить между валиков ? , должно получатся лучше и легче
Знала человека, который из старых валиков для отжима на активаторной стиральной машинке (помните такие?), смастерил нечто похожее. Только вместо поперечных дисковых ножей он продольно закрепил на валиках полотна для лобзика. Использовал он своё "детище" для резки листьев табака. Может быть эта приспособа тоже не для теста?
@@user-lc9ph1lk8m да помню , они кажется еще хуже отжимали чем если руками , возможно вы действительно правы и эта штука для табака
Knowledge, experience & patience. Also, quite a showman 👍🏼😍
Thank you!
Great restoration. Love your label on mr. Tumbuer 😂
Wow, that looked a hard job. Great to see the work you put in, Johnny. A real masterpiece
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Beautiful restoration mister good job well done
Thank you! 😀
I've been eagerly awaiting this resto!
Máquina de macarrão primitiva restaurada 🍜😉
The fins being powder coated is causing the pasta to stick. Try to spray cooking oil on them to help.
It will stick anyway and there was oil already. The solution was to add more flour. 🙂
Lovely job, Johnny! Man, that was a LOT of hard work. All of the moving parts mixed with years and years of "gunk" build up being removal, made for a super satisfying video. Ahhhh 🥴, thanks! PS: I will, however pass on the pasta. It looks like it might have an "industrial taste" to it. Hahaha! Good vibes from Southern California USA!!! 🇺🇲🤟
Glad you enjoyed it!
That was a fun project to watch!
Before retiring, I was a tool & die maker. If a friend would ask if I could fix his old noodle maker, I'd say sure, and then hand them $50 and say, "Go buy a new one!"
I laughed WAY TOO HARD at "Mr. Tom Bleur". I love it. I can't imagine the time it took to Nickle plate and polis all of those disks! Part of me wonders if you could use the spacers to adjust the thickness of the noodles? hrm.. I did not expect to see the brass. TBH I didn't even read the description until after but that brass was a surprise. Is that a TPU print in Vase mode? That is so cool (I'm a 3D printing nerd. I love to see it used in places I wouldn't expect). Amazing restoration! I hope you enjoy it for years to come
Getting the pastry to a usable consistency was always the most difficult part of the noodle-making process. The dough has to be far less moist than you'd expect for the noodles NOT to stick to each other as they're being cranked out. If you're preparing a batch of pastry in advance I like the idea of mounting the machine on a vertical surface and catching the noodles on a drying rack as they come out. But the BIG question is how the machine is cleaned of pasta residue after a batch has been cranked through! The idea of having to separate all those fussy little pieces, washing them and then correctly reassembling the whole thing would drive me back to commercial pasta from the supermarket!
that is a TONNE of work
I can almost hear the Italian singing after this one. Excellent work.
Mama mia!! 😀 Thank you!
Huge work! 😊 I'd put a metallic blade on the uper edge of the cutter to prevent noodles sticking into the interspaces, if you'd ever use it again... 😅
This is pretty cool, but I don't even like to imagine how to clean it up.
After the test I made for the video, I tried to clean it, and it was pretty hard, but after 24h, the leftovers got hard, and with a little shake and a knife, I managed to clean it (it took me 10-15 min). 😅 PS: This item has historical importance, and it will serve as a decorative piece.
The restoration was perfect, excellent. Congratulations!😀💜💜💜
Thank you so much 😀
@@rustyshadesrestoration 😀💜🥰
I'm ready for this one 👍🏼
Hope you like it!
What a fantastic restoration on this old Pasta maker.😊 What a tedious process for you. I really enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for sharing. Have a Blessed and Beautiful weekend. Love from Fairfield California USA
Thank you for watching my videos, Lisa and thank you for your kind words! Have a fantastic weekend, too! Johnny
Awesome job it came out incredible considering it being so many parts to restore and a jigsaw puzzle to put back together. Great patience
This was in so horrible condition when you first started. I was wondering how you would make it look like new. Great job again 👏
Thank you!
I wish i knew where the pics were. There's a slanted surface that attaches to the outlet. The noodles slide down that all nice and straight.
Luv this! ❤️
Krásná rekonstrukce a skvělé video 👍👍👍👍👍
What an odd machine, ive never seen anything like it ..... I must have more!!! Subscribed😁
Lol that machine sucks even after a flawless restore.
What a fantastic restoration. Great work!
Thank you! 🙂
I wonder why they quit using this design,maybe way too many parts just to make noodles.great video,great job.nice item for conversation piece.just keep doing what your doing.👍👍👍😎😎😎
Probably the wider availability of cheap, good quality dried pasta, although the sheer difficulty of cleaning this beast would play a part.
Ah, the mystery is solved..Nice work 👍👍
Thanks! 🫡
It's interesting that it looks like some industrial and some home made parts
That's right. This fact was very fascinating for me. I'm still trying to understand why and how it was possible 😀
I love the video, but, Mr. Tom Bleur win the like.
He said thanks!
Bro the test was funny 😂😂
Well done! Amazing job!!!
Thank you so much 😀
Pasta maker? We meet again! 😂 … Iykyk … lol
I think this machine needs to be mounted to a wall so the noodles fall straight down into a bowl or container, then they don't ride back up the rollers back into the blades again and get a mushed up.
Yes, that's correct; I also believe now that it should be mounted to the wall.
Муки надо больше добавлять и тесто должно быть не таким мягким. Тогда получится всё.
That's correct! I've tried again, and it works better.
Beautiful!!! Thank you for explaining why you did not use any fillers to make the machine look pristine! The "defects" in this machine simply add to its beauty. I can only imagine how many times this was used and past down to the next generation!!! Any idea how old it is?
You're welcome! 🙂 I'm not sure about its age, but it definitely can be over 100 years old or more even taking in consideration that some parts had to be hand-forged.
You have a lot more patience than me. Great job
You can do it too! My secret is to take many breaks and split everything into smaller tasks to don't feel overwhelmed.
복원영상은.어느.채널이든.상관없이.그냥.빠져서.보게.되네요~~좋은영상.감사합니다~~
Thank you for watching! 🙂
Great job
I'd have dome some brazing to fill in those craters in the baseplate, but it's still another fine resto job on your part.
Beautiful. Amazing machine
It really is!
Penetrating oil : First, apply it liberally, on every part that needs to come off. Let it soak in for many hours, preferably overnight. Then, the next morning, spray it again. After one more hour, disassembly should be easy. If penetrating oil is given the time to penetrate, it will be most effective.
I do that if I have enough time, which I usually don't, so for me, things have to move; the camera can't wait so many hours. For someone with lots of time and who has a project per month/year and never filming, it's OK. PS: I've been doing this for quite a while now, and sometimes even one week of penetrative oil treatment won't help! Some things, like being stuck forever 😅
It was pretty ^^ I hope the noodles were good ^^
Pushing spaghetti uphill. Maybe wall fixture.
Nice work!
Thank you! 🙂
Это титанический труд. Столько мелких однотипных деталей. От такого мозг устаёт больше, чем тело. Но результат работы шикраный ❤
Amazing and wonderful wow
Thank you! Cheers!
WoW very nice linda video ❤❤❤
I can only imagine how mind numbing and repetitive some of that was! Lol. Nice work👍
Oh, yes! That was a thing. Thanks for watching! 🙂
That is meant to hang on a wall so the noodles drop downward. Good job!
Oh, I must try that! Thank you!
It looks great and you did a wonderful job restoring it as well!!!! I enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up
Thank you very much!
Brilliance
После первого теста можно опять востонавливать)) а оак очень кропотливая работа! Мне бы вашей усидчивости )
The machine was meant to stay on the wall, and yes, maybe It was needed more oil, but definitely not restored again 🤣🤣
Sólo me pregunto qué dueña de casa tenía la paciencia para limpiar ese artefacto? Saludos desde Valdivia al sur de Chile 🇨🇱
That must have taken forever to restore nice job
As crudely made as that thing is, it almost looks like it was made by some high school kid in a Shop Class. Are you certain it is for noodles? Maybe rather for slicing kid leather in a leather shop or something? I could not see something that crude and difficult to clean properly being used for prepping food...
Looks like a tobacco shredder.
Awesome job!!! Very annoying is that someone on tiktok stole your video and got 688k views! I am here to support you!!
Thank you! Can you give me a link please?
Muy buena restauracion. Te regalo la parte de limpiarla.
Gracias!
Beautiful work :)
Thank you very much!
Top o canal. DEUS abençoe
If you grab a grinder with a 120 grit flap disk it'll smooth it out to a shine in 2 minutes
To smooth out what?
Реставрация на все 💯. Работа проделана классная.Лайкаю.
можно было и зашпаклевать
Perfecto!
Seems like a good shredding machine. lol
I actually tried that 😅
@4:35 Wow ... that must have taken forever to go through all of those! Also, I'd give the test run an "E" grade for effort; there's probably some ancient guide on how to properly use one of these things.
Yes, it took me a month to restore this piece. The test deserves an E but could be an A if I mount it to the wall; I'm almost 100% sure they were using it like that, and the noodles will fall quickly in a bowl.
@@rustyshadesrestoration I agree, I thought that maybe they'd tilted the rollers first and dumped flour in them so the pasta wouldn't stick; we have a roller for our mixer that attaches to the front and that works the best for us.
Now I know how Ramen is made
Heck of a lot of work. Give me a rolling pin and a knife.
最後、もっと綺麗に製麺できるシーン見たかったーー！！
Só faltou preparar uma macarronada com um suculento molho de tomate...! 😊 Parabéns! Creio que foi muito trabalhoso, em virtude da quantidade de peças...!
Obrigado!
great job love your vids so far. Question - curious why you did not use filler on the base parts to make them smooth again but left the rust damage pit marks visible, was that to retain value?
Thank you! Yes, that's the reason. I do that only with mass-produced pieces, not with hand-forged, rare/unique pieces. Glad you asked! Best, Johnny
My mom had one of those when I was a kid. Awesome job dude!
Thank you! 🙂
Great! As usual! Handsome 👍🙌
Thank you! ☺️
Brazil....👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🇧🇷
I bet those pliers get really shiny
For those who aren’t in the know, the last fully restored one of these (just for those saying he should throw this piece of junk out now that he’s restored it), that went up for auction at the antique road show went up for sale for $4,500 usd. So yea maybe he should throw it out, or maybe he should hold onto it and auction it. Im sure he has more money in assets than many individuals here have points in their IQ.
