1940 Egg Scale Restoration - Antique Kitchen Tool
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 06. 2024
- In this restoration video you will see: lathe work, metal spinning, nickel plating and chrome plating, in addition to the usual restoration work.
This scale is a model from the years 1940-1950. The Company is called Jiffy Way and is made USA. Through a few searches on Ebay I discovered this egg scale, I saw that there are many ads with this type of scale and decided to buy it. The price was a bit high, around $ 60, but I thought this kitchen tool would be worth a perfect restoration made by me , who knows, maybe I will use it. The total price of the scale and restoration exceeded $ 150 but I will let you to decide it is worth or not. I spent a month restoring this scale and I am satisfied with the work I did.
I hope you like this restoration video and share this joy with me.
Cheers and Enjoy !!

What is lead test for ?

@@user-um8hr9yf3j It checks to see if there is lead in the paint.
Right. Thanks my friend 🤩
My favorite part was definitely the metal spinning! Very good job on the machining, I love it.
Thanks to your advice there 🤠🤗🤗🥰
From my mechanics to here.
I love you both give no narration.
No wonder this video was in my recommendations..

Casi te pregunto crack
Who else was expecting him bust out amazing hidden art skills and hand paint it identical to the original style? 😄
This is under my powers 😅
@@CoolAgainRestoration Your powers are perfect the way they are, this is very impressive.
surely screen printing would be a skill within your powers? it would certainly come in useful.

I just want to see the after results yes?
My grandma and grandpa own this exact kind of egg scale! I recognized it from the decal. It's still in pretty decent condition, though not nearly as pretty as your restoration! I'd play with it all the time and always be so eager to use it after we'd collected all the eggs. Thank you for making me remember a very happy part of my childhood that I'd almost forgotten!
Glad you liked it 😊 and take care of yours 👏
I have my grandmother's old egg scale, which of course is worn but in much better condition than this one. I watched this with complete delight! I'm also amazed that you could find the decal to replace the old one! I admire your absolute patience in reworking and retooling this.
Thanks buddy 😊 cheers 🍻
Missed an opportunity for a pun not eager but egger
Does it have that same lead paint? Concerned
I love how you polished the lead weights, even though nobody will ever see them...

the part of me which worked in a museum was shouting "no! you need to find the original unsafe lead-based paint!", but the part of me which works in the kitchen appreciates the modification you made.
Glad you liked it overall,Patrick 👍🏼
Truly the paint depends on the purpose of the restoration...
I hope the counterweights weren't toxic :s
@@Tekape Considering that a magnet was used to get the counterweights out of the tumbler, we can assume that the counterweights are made out of iron , nickel, cobalt, or any alloy containing any of the aforementioned elements. My guess is either iron or steel. Lead is rarely alloyed with iron from what I can find, so probably not toxic in this case.
@@Kingpin_Gaming_UK niice :D
You ever wonder what the designer of the restorations would think of they saw this level of skill and effort being applied to their creation? I would imagine it would be immensely gratifying to those who came before to know their contributions weren’t lost, but cherished and respected.
There is something absolutely gorgeous about seeing these old purely mechanical instruments shine as if brand new. Especially in todays world where even something as simple as this would be made with ton of electronics in it.
True

It's still kind of sad that the original paintmanship was lost in the process. It was probably hand done to...
@@jessesimpson777 the paint contained lead so there was no choice for him that thing is really bad for one's health
Thank you for being safe and carefully removing the lead paint! It is nice to see a maker being conscientious about their safety and showing it in the video. May I ask about the types of PPE you use?
He mainly uses COMMON SENSE!
Nice try OSHA inspector
I really appreciate that restoration artists like you not only remove the rust, but treat the metal so that it can't rust again.

“Idk, lemme grab the scale.”

"ah damn the scale is broken, lemme make a 14 minute video about me fixing it lol"

Wow, I haven’t seen one of those in several years. When I was younger my uncle had 4 chicken houses. They we’re layers. I would go in the chicken house and pick up eggs. I would then take them to the egg house where my mom and a couple of her sisters would size the eggs using scales just like this one. Brought back a lot of good memories
😎🤗🤗very nice
I still see them in Vermont
If an egg is between medium and large, which size do you classify it as?

Well it also works wonderfull because of its softness
DIY perks too!
@@l.h.9747 yes, but as it's about 25% heavier than iron of the original rivet (and FAR heavier than aluminium, if the rivet was made of it) it might not be a good choice to replace a counterweight part, unless you calibrate the counterweight load again. (Which he didn't. This scale now marks the eggs as _slightly_ smaller than they really are.)
It is calibrated.. after I cleaned that arm and the counterweight,needed 0,8 more grams. And I added 👍🏻
I think it looks so wholesome, polite, and a little touch of anxiety when he write "please consider subscribing" by the end of the video

This is absolutely fascinating. And it’s comforting to know that despite all of your expertise and talent, you use whatever circular objects are nearby to trace circles just like the rest of us.
I like the idea that someone once thought we need a gadget to measure if our eggs are small, medium, large or extra large.
It's probably to determine the price in stores
you can guess by looking at them but recipes will call for an egg size (though usually it's just large eggs bc that's common in the US). I know young chickens lay smaller eggs and they increase in size with age, but I would also guess that chickens don't lay exactly perfect sized eggs every time. so this is probably useful to someone who has their own chickens rather someone who buys a box of identical eggs at the store
I wonder if the large eggs we buy are actually large?
Have you looked at eggs today? The stores apparently need this tool. They are selling small eggs as large! Lol
@@LydiaStarz I get my eggs from local free run farmer so I haven't really lol.
I have the same kind in my kitchen in working condition in my kitchen. Had it since I was a kid living at my grandparents. Great to see one other one!

@@mrs.stefonmeyers7156 true tho 👌
@@CoolAgainRestoration lmao
Yah even old kids toys were painted with lead based paint
As an intern in museum, I learnt the valuable lesson, restoration =/= preservation.. RIP poisonous lead paint 🙂
What?
@@notquiteordinary
Restoration: to make the item to its original function
Preservation: to keep the original state (paints, material, decoration, etc). To minimize further deteriorations.
Yeah. Both ways are correct. If an item is very rare( like items found in ww1/ww2 or older) I agree with the fact of preservation. But a vice,a wrench,an old scale or just a level,these are not extremely rare and can be restored like was new. I not agree with modification. I mean,you have a bread cutter with wood boards and you replace with plastic because the plastic is more durable (was just an example)
@@taichowantz5916 so why did this man need to work in a museum to learn this?
@@notquiteordinary which man?? Both procedures are correct. Usually museum used both procedure, as mentioned by Shib.

Thank you very much Jeff. Yes,you’re right about people’s who need to use this by many times. Thanks for rating also 😎👍🏼
Monotony describes a lot of farm work. I was a dairy farm kid in my teenage summers were a couple hours of milking cows each morning and evening and then 10 to 12 hours running a diesel tractor to mower bail hay which was incredibly boring work. We did eggs and broiler hens as a side business and had two manual scales. I think one may have been this design from very vague memories while the other was very different. We didn't much use them by the time I was a kid because a couple nearby poultry operations had expanded and upgraded their equipment, selling their old electric graders for cheap enough we could afford it and the repairs it needed. There's a video on CZcams of the model we had; look up "keenco egg grader." It was still an awful lot of manual work just a particular bit was automated to a degree.
@@DanielleWhite I'll had a look at that, wow, the metal parts and no breakages. thanks for pointing me to it. Worked underground myself and began there just sitting in a man-hole at the low point for weeks turning the Sykes water pump on when the water reached three feet, and off when it reached one....ohhh the days were long then but for completely different reasons that the reasons yours must have been. Eventually for to do 'proper' work when I was 'seasoned'.
