1883 Meat Slicer Restoration - Tucker & Dorsey Edition

- In this video I restored a meat slicer from 1883 - Tucker & Dorsey Mfg. Co. Indianapolis .
Short infos about restoration:
I started the restoration by disassembling this slicer. I immediately noticed that some parts were not original, some wooden parts could be restored, while others had to be rebuilt. I tried to preserve the originality of the product so that the restoration does not spoil its value and shape. Most of the metal parts, although they were in a degraded state and full of rust, I was able to restore them successfully. The main metal part, where the company logo is also inscribed, was painted gold and the part in direct contact with the food was chromed. I did not like this idea of chrome and food. After some searches on google I noticed that the company produced these slicers in several colors available at that time. They were: white, black, cream, yellow and full chrome. So for this restoration I opted for the yellow color because the contrast between the restored wooden parts and this color has a pleasant effect.
Short infos about company :
William H. Tucker fought at a number of important battles during the American Civil War and by some accounts attained the rank of General. Afterwards, he began selling "Tucker Alarm Tills" which incorporated a bell that rang whenever the till was opened. The device was based on several patents that had been issued to his father. He was eventually joined in this enterprise by Robert Dorsey of the hardware firm Dorsey & Layman of Indianapolis, Indiana. Together, they founded the Tucker & Dorsey Manufacturing Company in 1865. They eventually branched out into hardware and woodenware specialities, making more than thirty different kinds of goods and over 200 different specialties including cabbage slicers (more colloquially known as "kraut cutters"), mop wringers, towel rollers, clothes hangers and coat racks. Quality was high enough that Pullman coaches were outfitted with T&D coat racks, as were a number of prestigious hotels in North America and Europe. They also made factory trucks and carts, using parts from their other enterprise, The Phoenix Caster Company. At their height, they employed over 100 workers and exported one-eight of their production to foreign markets. In spite of his wealth, Tucker himself led a tragic life. He lost a brother, two sisters and his wife. In 1893, a horse he intended to trade got out of control during a training session. Tucker attempted to jump out of the buggy but got tangled in the lap robe and lines, and was dragged along the roadway, tearing the skin from his face and almost severing his nose. Suffering from depression, in September 1898 he arrived at the office early in the morning, took out the revolver left in a desk for the night watchman, and shot himself just below the heart. Apparently not satisfied with the result, he then shot himself again, this time in the right temple. He was only 54. He left behind a 15-year-old daughter, Willanetta. I can't find any record of how she got on after this tragedy. The company itself seems to have endured until 1977.
Hope you will enjoy the video ! Cheers !

I say again: Happy Holidays my friend!!! I volunteer to clean your shop!!!
Esti român???? Sarbatori fericite !! Nemaipomenita restaurare😯
Very nice job. I'm impressed that you went for the full restoration. A lot of times I see equipment that is meant for food contact being restored with non-food safe finishes. After all "it's only meant for display". A true restoration restores the complete functionality of the object, including being able to use it for the original purpose. Fantastic work.
Thank you very much William and glad you liked it. And when you think that previously was chromed and that chrome was in direct contact with food 😩
@@CoolAgainRestoration What about the wood stain? Was that also food safe?
Yes. The stain and varnish are food safe too
They used to make things with lead...
A shoker it's fake as fuck
I'm currently crying in bed because of my period cramps and watching restoring videos, idk how but it's making me feel better lol.
Glad to hear that . My wife is on his period too but nothing calm her 😅
I really appreciate the green over the screen whenever you weld. Definitely helps my eyes when I'm watching this before bed!
Glad you liked it 😊
Thank you for restoring “old” things. Not only do you bring them back to life, and give them a second chance, but you make them better than when they were originally manufactured. You have great talent! Thank you for letting the world see what you’re capable of doing. You have a gift.
Thank you very much for these kind words 😇
Wow, you could be a motivational speaker scratch that you should be a motivational speaker.
This guy even saved our eyes
True talent ❤️
Thanks Demir 😊
This is unneeded though.
@@CoolAgainRestoration you don't have to do that though, it's rather annoying.
What is annoying?
@@CoolAgainRestoration I really appreciate it. I usually watch these videos at night in bed so not being blinded by bright light is a positive for me.
I see several masterpieces here. The filming, the editing, the slicer, and the sandwich. Great stuff 👏 👍
Thanks mate 😊
That cheese, though... 🤣

you forgot the mickey mouse
@@papap9379 thought I was tripping
Absolutely blown away by the attention to detail. Great job.
Thanks a lot 😊
Your videos are so satisfying to watch that I become so relaxed I fall asleep it actually helped my insomnia a bit
I'm so glad! 😊 thanks a lot
I personally don't like the color paint you chose, but my mother would have loved it. She always decorated her kitchen with sunny yellows & bright reds. She would have approved. 👍
That's my only critique as well
Agreed, I don’t like the color, but what a GORGEOUS finish he produced!
Yeah.. my pet peave. If your restoring it don't change the color. I think he should dipped them like the bolts. I also hate when they file away all the casting and character flaws
@@chrisrmorriscm my pet peeve is people misspelling words. It is much easier to learn English than it is to restore old stuff. Just sayin’.

No music, no talk. So peaceful and relaxing. Not to mention a beautiful Restoration. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed 😊
Unless you know someone who restores, or you watch it being done on a channel, you really can't understand or appreciate just how much work is involved to restore an item! Thank you so much for showing us this process!!
Thank you very much Diann and I really appreciate your comment . Cheers 😊
I love these videos they are incredibly soothing and just plain awesome. I love the amount of work you put into each restoration. Not only do you bring it back from the dead but you give it life it never had before. You put love into every piece and make it absolutely gorgeous.
Thank you very much and glad you liked it so much 😊 cheers
I think what I learned most from watching this was I had lost a level of "attention to detail" when it comes to my work (I work in tech). Watching this video there were a few times where I wondered "but does that need to be done?" and that was never a question for you. there is a pride and level of attention to detail that you pay to things that others might overlook or pass by and I will take that lesson with me into my daily work. it's a subtle reinforcement of "if it's worth doing, it's worth doing right" thanks for another awesome vid.
Thank you very much Davis and glad you liked it so much. I appreciate your support and feedback 😊
Well said Davis....👍
David is a through and through perfectionist....
This little details is what I like the most. This and my mechanics are my favorite restoration chanels.
Glad to hear that Volta 😊 thanks
53 parts? I never would have guessed something so simple had so many parts.
Great job.... love your videos.
Oh my god these restorations! We have to see more!
Glad you liked it so much 😊
Beautifully done! Since you asked, I can't say I'm a fan of the yellow, but I don't know what other color I would have chosen, unless it was just basic black. The wood turned out so amazing. Fantastic job!
Thank you very much Wendy 😊
I thought it was brass before the sandblasting part, that would be the best in my opinion
I would have chosen a creamy yellow. That’s just me.
Beautiful after the stain and varnish
Your restoration of the meat slicer is absolute first class every part is is done with care. Jim from England.
Thank you very much Jim and glad you liked it so much 😊 🏴
Every second of this video was mesmerising, especially the blade. That "mirror" finish is outstanding. Thank you
Thanks Wayne and glad you liked it so much 😊
Fabulous job. Do like the colour. Thank you for showing every detail of the restoration and how achieved.
Thank you very much and glad you liked it
Awesome work as always. Love how you removed casting marks and rough spots. The powder coat colour was a good choice too.
Ingenious solution to repair the blade.
Good work sir.
Thank you very much mate 😊 glad you liked it
Your work never fail and always give us satisfaction.. 😍😍👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks and glad you liked it Harry 😊
Awesome attention to detail. Your passion is obvious 👌
Thank you very much 😇
The fact that you look for the safety of your audience's eyes makes me - a fan of these type of videos - feel cared and protected. Oh, and I LOVED the colour.
Thank you very much Alex 😊
The stain you used on the wood looks amazing! I fell in love the second you started applying it.
Thanks a lot and glad you liked it so much 😊
Simply gorgeous.
Thank you very much 😊
I’m 11 days late but this is my first video of 2023 🥳
You always do a fantastic job restoring worn down pieces. I love that you put every detail in the video. Makes me very happy 🥰
Glad to hear that and hope to enjoy you with my videos on 2023 too 😊 happy new year
Such great care is taken with even the smallest pieces, and you always seem to improve on the original during the restoration without fundamentally changing the item. You are truly an artist! Happy holidays from the USA!
Thank you very much mate ! Best wishes to you too 😊
Великолепная работа. Браво мастеру.
Thank you very much 😊Spasibo
So happy to see patience, care, skill and result comparable to "My Mechanics". Thank You.
Thanks a lot for these kind words 😊
Continue to be impressed with your skill set and knowledge. Never knew there was such a thing as food safe powder coating. Well done Sir 👏
Thanks a lot and glad you enjoyed so much 😊
Excellent restoration. So worth the wait!!! ❤
Thank you very much Jennette 😊
Man you are amazing and you just not restore things you restore it to the level that it can't be made more better. Mad respect!!
Thank you very much Shivam and glad you liked it so much 😊 cheers
I'm the closing clerk for a grocery store meat dept. & this makes me think of my butcher friend still going strong at 75.
What a retirement gift this'd be for a great guy when he's finally done.
Standing ovation 👏 from a novice meathead/ex-home improvement Jack Ofsometrades/attention to detail fan new sub. 👍✌️
Thank you very much Gerald and glad you liked it 😊
I love the touch of humor you interjected with Mickey Mouse. That made me snicker. Beautiful job on all I have seen so far. Thank you for sharing your talents.
Thanks a lot and glad you enjoyed so much 😊
Watching this for the 3rd time today. I also restore old things as my profession and love to put your videos on to play in the background as I work, especially doing something tedious like hand sanding small objects at my bench. My only critique is the color, I would have used black just because that would be slightly more correct for the time. Other than that I thank you for your effort of breathing a new life into an old object. I think the person who assembled this slicer on the production line back in 1883 would smile and be proud to see the justice you've done this piece. Might I suggest experimenting using coffee as a food safe wood stain in the future? I typically brew mine INCREDIBLY strong, to the point of being disgusting and undrinkable, but it produces some amazing color that is non-toxic and transforms beautifully with age
Wow, never thought at this. Maybe I will try coffee sometime. Thanks for the advice Colby! Cheers 😊
Insanely skilled dude, awesome work! Love how you made the screw heads round again!
Danke schon mate 😊
Another excellent project. Very enjoyable. Thank you!
Thank you very much and glad you liked it 😊

That was one fantastic job. You've given it another 100 years of life. 👏👏
Thanks a lot Rita 👍
Yet another display of top skill and artistry
Thank you very much Han 😊
I was impressed with the master's work, in which he kept the original shape firmly and improved the details.
Thanks a lot and glad you liked it 😊
Wow. Perfect job. I love how methodical, detailed and disciplined you are. And the camera takes are perfect too.
Thanks a lot and glad you enjoyed! I read a comment where you complained about the camera changes and I want you to know that I try my best to find the balance between the young generation who like it fast and the other generation who like it slow . I have people who told me in the comments that the video are bored because the shoots took it too long and I have people that told me they want longer footages or subtitles because they can’t read it. So , is very hard for me but every time I work with love and care for my subscribers .
I really appericiate the green transparent box you put infront of the weld. As someone who is watching this at night in bed to help me calm down, it's nice someone thought ahead to not make my entire screen white in one go.
Thanks a lot and glad you enjoyed 😊
It's incredible to think someone in the 1880s created this meat slicer, gone through various owners and now more than 100 years since, it's been given new life. 😊
Yeah, I ask myself every time who was the owner of the item I have disassembled on my bench 😃
"Do I like the color?" Sir, yes, Sir! Well chosen, fits perfectly to the wood! :)
Thanks a lot and glad you liked it 😊
Great product and great restoration as always 👏
Thanks mate 😊

The upside-down router instead of a full router table? Brilliant!!
This was in phenomenal condition for being almost 140 years old. Also a brilliant design too. Great work buddy
Thank you very much Frankie 😊 glad you liked it
First restoration video I've ever watched that made me hungry
Sorry for that 😃
@@CoolAgainRestoration no worries. I'd just finished off 2 smoked turkey wings and 1 leg, but damn that sammich looked good
That is sweet. Great work Thank You again it is Cool Again 👍
Thanks Jim , glad you liked it 😊
Thank you for caring about our eyes and putting the box over the welder
Thanks Brian and glad you enjoyed 😊
Tucker's story is so sad, but I'm grateful that you included that background. Be sure to read it, those of you who never expand the information field for the video!
I love your videos. Without the need to speak, he explains everything perfectly. Very good close-ups you get. Congratulations!!!!!
Thank you very much Carlos 😊
Just watching your restoration videos is almost zen like, when I want to relax I can just unplug and watch with joy, thanks.
Thanks for that Mike 😊 cheers
Unbelievable! You honoured it and made it better than it was new. It's amazing to see something with history be made new again, thanks for sharing what you do with us to watch! Love you
Thank you very much innovati 😊 cheers
I love the color, and I love that you save old things.

Thank you very much Annette 😊
A true artist! love the reflection and sharpness that you have brought back to the knife 👌👍
The fact you actually got your hands on this is crazy, and also from 2023 this year makes it 200 years old
Its actually 140 years old, but still that is still really old
Brilliant 👏🏾. I thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful restoration video. Excellent work. Oh you bet. I like that colour. 👌🏾
Thank you very much mate 😊 cheers
Fascinating, what a beautiful job you did with something others would have just thrown away. Well done .
Thank you very much Kay 😊
You are awesome at restoration, it touches the heart, so satisfying! Cant wait to see more videos now! They are so good i just want to forget about the channel, come back 20 years later and binge watch every single video, keep up the good work!
Thanks a lot but don’t forget about the channel because with no views, after 20 years probably the channel will not be here 😅
I watch these because they are so satisfying 😊
Thanks a lot 😊
A wonderful combination of different skills and materials.
Thank you very much 😊
That was the perfect color.. Nice!
Glad you liked it Ted 😊
Lots of restoration channels but very few as good as this one. 👍🏻 That slicer is better after restoration than when when it came out of the factory back in the day. Amazing.
Thanks a lot for these kind words mate 👍😊
You are, by far, my favorite restoration channel on CZcams 😁
I love the fun little things you put into every video
Glad you liked it so much. I really appreciate your support . Thanks a lot 😊
this is genuinely so beautiful, wow! i love the bright pop of yellow for the restoration.
Thanks a lot Bobo 😊
The craftsmanship here is so beautiful. I enjoyed every minute of this video. You would have made the original creator so proud. This product is absolutely gorgeous
Thank you very much Jaymes 😊
David that was totally awesome, thank you from Salem, Ohio USA.

EXTREMELY NICE 👍🙂 restoration. I absolutely love this piece.
Thank you very much Danny 😊
Way Cool. The Yellow works. I don't know where you all come up with all this Antique items but keep them coming. This meat slicer was something I've never saw before. I've seen a lot of the Old what would be determined Antique as growing up around small Towns an then of course on the weekends my Parents would take all 7 of us a go driving an get lost on the Old Country back roads then we would stop at thes little old Country Stores an get Bread a Bologna an Cheese have the Bologna an the Cheese sliced find a cool Shady spot an have lunch. Thank You for Sharing this Wonderful Video I really enjoyed it. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Thank you very much and glad you liked it so much 😊
It is as if I stepped into a time machine, and traveled into the past. Sat in a family-owned deli, to order a sandwich. Thank you for posting!
Thanks Alex and glad you liked it 😊
Better looking than the day it was manufactured. You're really talented!
Thank you very much Terry 😊
You amaze me with every project you do! So much talent. Blessings
Thank you very much Carol 😊 glad you liked it so much ! Cheers
As usual, you did a fantastic job! I chuckle when people complain about quality these days when I watch you need to grind down the casting seams on almost every piece.
Thank you very much Terri 😊
I love seeing the different techniques you use in each video. Great work, as always!
Thank you very much Ryan 😊
I love how you describe what you're doing, and the products you're using. Just like most of the people in these comments I watch a lot of restoration videos, and I have to try to figure out what they're doing, or some will speak throughout the video which I don't really care to hear. Thank you for such fantastic work!
Thank you very much Richard and glad you enjoyed 😊
Hey lean man here I am sorry that I was gone for so long but I am back and I really liked the Results of your labour and I am excited to see another video lean man out
Thanks a lot lean man 👍
What great work, you sir are a master, it gives me so much pleasure watching you do your work. Very well done.
Thanks again for your support 😊
The restoration of the hardware is remarkable.
Thanks Brock and glad you liked it 😊
Very nice restoration. Im glad you did the wood with sand paper instead of sand blasting. I was hoping you would nickle plate all the metal but it still turned out well after powder coating.
I do not agree to sandblast old wood 😊 thanks Patrick
Honestly I just found your channel
I gotta say you, my mechanics and Great idea are 3 restoration channels that make almost perfect restorations. I respect you guys deeply and I'm happy I found your videos!
Thank you very much mate and glad I’m in your preferred watching channels. I like them too. Great idea is another style but his videos are like movies. I respect a lot that guy . Thanks again 😊
Beautiful restoration and cool trivia about meat to top it off. Damn, this is making me hungry! 😉👍
