Antique clockwork spit jack - Restoration
Vložit

- Welcome to today's video, where you saw the renovation of a French ornate meat rotisserie.
Grilling is one of the very popular ways that has a rich history. Grilling dates back to prehistoric times. The first evidence of barbecuing dates back to the Stone Age, when simple grates made of stones were used.
For a long time, food was prepared only on fire. The design and mechanism of watch spit jacks was introduced around the 19th century. They consisted of various components, many of which played a key role in their proper functioning.
A clock mechanism powered by a winding key drove a system of gears and pulleys that ultimately turned the spit.
The rotation speed was set using different gear ratios, which made it possible to control the baking process.
These devices were commonly found in kitchens and fireplaces where they were used to roast various types of meat.
Automation of the turning process reduced the need for constant manual work.
Their introduction brought a better taste and consistency of the meat.
In addition to their practical function, antique clockwork spit jacks had artistic value.
These small devices often featured intricately carved decorative elements and ornate designs that showcased the craftsmanship of the time. Their ingenious mechanism and artistic workmanship deserve to be preserved and admired.
And that's all for today's video.

Was racking my brain trying to figure out what this device was. With all the decades I've spent cooking meals over an open fire, I should have known better. This was a magical transformation on a very special spit. Very ingenious machine requiring no electrical cord or batteries. Thank you for a fantastic video and thank Veronika for a wonderful description. Have a Blessed week!
I don’t speak or write your language so I always hope my meaning is not lost in translation. I love the way your videos start out: a mystery of devices and parts that as the restoration proceeds the meaning and purpose of the project comes to light. At the end I am always “Oh so thats what it’s for!” That and the historical narrative at the end always makes your restorations enjoyable to watch. Thank you and greetings from America.
Thanks for the comments. I feel exactly as you do with almost every restoration. Am puzzled and out of nowhere, my eyes are opened.
Thank you very much for your kind comment. We love doing it for people like you. Hugs from the Czech Republic.
🤗
Another piece of history saved! Well done and once again thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching, have a nice day Richard :)
Superb restoration mate. The replacement of the tooth in the main gear was genius. You are a wizard with your hands mate.
You are both preserving the past by restoration and educating us on how our ancestors used their technology. Thank you!
We are happy, thank you very much for watching our video :)
Thank you for sharing this. I've never seen one like this. Great restoration.
I had absolutely no idea what this device is until the end when your wife described it! The demonstration was helpful also to understand the functions it has. The masterful use of materials to refurbish broken items is exactly what I expected from you. Thank you both for another entertaining and informative video.
Thank you very much Steve for watching and nice comment. Hugs from the Czech Republic.
There is nothing Radek can't restore. I'd love to be a patreon, but you will have to settle for a thumbs up and a comment. Hope that helps your channel. Love your work.
I love the work you guys do. The modern world in which we live holds many wonders, but sometimes lacks the style and beauty of common items from decades ago. Thank you for your good work.
Thank you for the beautiful and kind comment 🤗
Bravo maestro Radek.Veliki pozdrav iz Republike Srpske.
Not until the very end of the video did I find out what piece of equipment you were rejuvenating. Would like to have one of those when I go camping. Well done, great video. Cheers from 🇨🇦
Yes, it is definitely a great thing for camping. I recommend it. Thanks for watching.
That sandblasting thing is really cool.
Yes, I'm glad I bought this helper :)
Radek and Verônica, congratulations on the magnificent restoration.
A hug.
Amazing find, beautiful restoration.
Thank you Nena :)
I have a feeling I saw this episode a couple of years ago.
Still the same result, look awesome!
It probably wasn't my case, I did this subject for the first time, but I'm glad you took the time to watch my video. Thank you.
You two are amazing. I love your artistic craftmanship as well as your presentation of the history of the items you restore. Thank you!,
Thanks for the positive comment :)
Nifty gadget. Well done.👍👏
I love this channel! And I love the historical background given at the end of each video 👍🏼👍🏼
Imagine toasting marshmallows with that.
Granted, some people think half of the fun of eating campfire marshmallows is setting them on fire and nearly taking out your cousin's eye with a flaming hot lump of sugar.
You two have chosen a most interesting profession showcasing your talents and desire to preserve antiquities. It is commendable work. 👍👍👍
Yes we love antiques, thanks for watching Wiley :)
As always love your work and especially the gold brushing, it really makes the fine details on the case stand out. Thanks again for sharing this video and I look forward to seeing more of your work. Your friend in Texas Paul. 😊👍👍🙏🤝🫶
Thanks for watching my faithful friend from Texas :)
Oh my day is made! Needed a lunch break while sanding the desk I'm refinishing, and what shows up? A Veradona video!
Such a cool restoration, I had no idea how you would fix that broken tooth in the 'clock work', but you did a brilliant job. As always, your artistic side comes through in making it not only functional, but beautiful. (^.^)
And I just LOVE hearing Veronika explain the device, such a wonderful presence and so clear.
Thank you yet again for posting! You all just make the world better.
Привет из Петербурга!
Если у вас дома есть камин или вы хотя бы раз в год выезжаете на природу, то без такого устройства ваша жизнь лишена смысла потому, что непонятно как иначе готовить мясо. Отличное устройство, отличная (как всегда) реставрация. Спасибо Радек, я не знал, что есть такие вертелы. Мир вашему дому и крепкого здоровья!
Спасибо друг за просмотр :)
That is amazing. Thank you for the wonderful restoration and the preservation of history. I love your Chanel.
I am very pleased, thank you very much :)
Wonderful restoration job you did restoring the spit jack. It looks much better and it works like a charm too. Excellent work as usual. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the great video. It was great knowing that you could restore this unit back to his glory. You did a really good job of fixing it.
It makes me happy, thank you very much for watching :)
That was a fantastic restoration! Great skill and a lot of work - but up to your usual excellent standards 👍 I particularly liked how you "relic-ed" the casing and the handle. And of course the replacement plaque was perfect - the icing on the cake 👍😁
Thank you very much Jason for the beautiful and encouraging comment. Hugs from the Czech Republic :)
It’s been a while since I’ve seen you restore anything,but I still love your work . Keep posting them please !
I'm glad, thank you, yes, I'll try.
What a delightful video!
Radek that was nicely done. Veronica, another beautiful explanation. You are a great team.
Tady je rčení " zlaté české ručičky " opravdu namístě. Každé vaše video je toho důkazem. Jste moc šikovný. Moc se mi líbí, když staré věci získají svůj původní vzhled a funkčnost. Opékané buřtíky ! Mňam ! Mám hlad ! 💞 Patříte mezi mé vybrané CZcamsry, které sleduji. Vybírám jen kvalitní, takže jich tolik není.
Tak to jsme poctěni Evo. Jsme rádi, že se Vám naše videa líbí a jste jako my milovnicí těchto starých krásných artefaktů našich předků, kteří byli velmi zruční . Děkujeme za odběr a shlédnutí našich videí :)
Great job!
Well done again Radek, I've joined your channel and thank you Veronica for the tremendous history lesson, can I point out Veronica the clockwork mechanism not only made it easier to spit roast meat, it also gave the man more time to drink beer.🍺
Wonderful job, noticed the video trickery in cutting out the metal for the handle lever. Great coverage, do like the natural sounds and no background music during the resto. Loved the finish to the wooden handle with perfect aged wear given to the colour. Good piece to camera. Excellent work all round.
Thanks for watching and nice comment :)
Very cool, nice job again!!!
Totally fascinated by this restoration! I didn’t know what it was either until the lady explained at the end. I love the little history lesson and so happy you are preserving things from the past. You make a superb job of the restoration.
Thank you very much, we are glad you like our videos :)
I was a Navy photographer in the mid 70s. In camera repair school they had a 16mm movie camera with a wind-up spring. If you failed to run the camera until the spring fully unwound you'd fail the course. The spring had the power when wound up to punch a hole in a metal waste basket. Lots of people failed out of that course. Seeing that spring brought back memories.
Wow interesting. Thanks for your comment.
Nice job. I always like the history you give. Well done.
Another Beauty!!!! Mrs Veradona looking good and healthy!
Lol, Thank you Paul :)
Spectacular restoration.
see that this equipment still exists today in an improved form, electrically, etc... however, nothing current was invented, but rather innovated, and you are part of that by restoring pieces like this. hug to you
Thank you very much for watching our video. And an encouraging comment.
Thank you very much Mr and Mrs veradona, most excellent video, lovely craftsmanship in the restored spit.
Thank you both for watching our video of hugs from the Czech Republic :)
Congratulations, it is an excellent restoration job. Receive a hug from Colima, Mexico.
This makes me very happy Daniel, thank you for watching and I send greetings from the Czech Republic.
Ještě jednou jsem s obdivem pohlédl na Tvou krásnou práci, Radku. Na výsledek se můžete opět pochlubit. Děkuji ti příteli. Pozdravy z Holandska. 👍👍👍
It did take a few moments for me to figure out just what this thing was but then it became as clear as a sunny day. Typical marvelous job of restoration by you as I have come to expect. By the way, maybe you need to add a disclaimer. "No insects were harmed in this restoration" LOL My girlfriend loved the part where you gently took the bug outside and released it.
Thank you very much for watching and the funny comment. Greetings from the Czech Republic.
Beautiful restoration. It's amazing how much of a difference the gold makes.
I love this spit! Just goes to show, where there is a will and hungry people, there is a way! You know i respect your craftsmanship!
Thank you Annette :)
Enjoyed your work and presentation ❤
We are very happy about that. Thanks for watching Paul :)
Hi. New follower here. Fascinating restoration. But, respectfully, I would have liked to have seen more of the fully restored object than sausages over a fire.
Thank you for watching my video. So I'll do better next time 😉
Hello Radek and Veronica beautiful peis of history beautiful restoration beautifully restored good job guys well done see you at the next project
Wow! You find the most interesting things to restore! And I love how you gently persuade the stuck parts to cooperate with you! Never too much force, only as much as is required! Bravo!

I have one of these, it was left in the barn of our house in France when we bought it. Its in better condition than yours was at the beginning, definitely going to have a look at restoring it so that I can use it. Thanks for the video!
It's great to find something so beautiful. It's a really amazing machine, I wish you a nice barbecue with this machine. Radek
Great work 👏👏👍
Thank you Michael :)

Admiro tu trabajo, te felicito. Restaurar y armar es un arte. Yo desarmo algo así y termino armando cualquier cosa😂. Es un puzzle. Saludos desde Uruguay 🇺🇾
Muchas gracias por el comentario divertido Valentina :)
Nice work as usual, congrats
Very nice work !! I love the black and gold !! And it works AMAZINGLY !! As alway's I really enjoy knowing about the items you restore !! Fantastic work !! 👍👍
Thank you very much for the beautiful and encouraging comment Robert. Hugs from the Czech Republic :)
Mesmerizing content. I am in awe of your skill and quite envious of all your tools. Thanks SO much for the video. It always makes me anxious to take something apart which is so technical and with so many tiny parts. I suppose the video helps, in case you forget. But, still... Amazing and thanks again.
Yes, exactly as you say, the video will help. Without it, a person would probably take longer to put together an unknown thing. Thanks for watching.
That. Is. Awesome!
Thank you Vickie :)
Once again amazing skills at work!
Thank you very much for watching Gary :)
Wow, that’s awesome 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you so much :)
Nice job well done
Thanks for watching :)
It is so great to see another one of your videos. I look forward to them every time. You did a great restoration. It came out beautiful. I hope you and Verônika are doing well? ~Kevin
Fantastic restoration again my friend. I love how you can fix or replace broken parts. They always look like they were always a part of it. Until next time.
I'm glad Andy, thanks for watching. Hugs from the Czech Republic.

Stupendous and out of this work. I loved it dear!
I'm glad my friend, thank you very much.
Extraordinaro, este ARTISTA PUEDE CON TODO.

Really beautiful restoration.
Thank you so much :)
That's pretty cool.
Yes, thank you :)

I never would have thought it was a rotisserie mechanism. I thought it was a timer, only bigger.
Such a spit, properly adapted, could remove the blanket from the sleeping person early in the morning.
Another great job😮😮😮😮
Thank you so much :)
Increíble mecanismo para asar alimentos,todos los días se aprende algo nuevo.
Gracias
Opět nádherná práce 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. A super vynález na usnadnění grilování 👍🏻.
Ano je to dost zajímavá a praktická hračka pro grilování bez baterií či elektřiny :) Díky Honzo
