First: Sorry for being a little late with the video. I had a lot of stuff going on plus a lot to do for university. Also I am planning on future projects and on 'expanding' my workshop. Stay tuned :)

I got the bunny from @HeldderSteine btw 😄.

In this video I restored an old grater made in 1929 by 'Alexanderwerk' which I bought last year on a flea market. The guy who sold it to me said that he found it a couple of years ago in a house clearance and used it for decoration purposes since then.
When he found it it didn't have the wooden parts that I had to remake. Those parts always seem to miss, but I am very happy with the result of the ones I made.

The work on the project took about 30 hours (inclusive filming) plus about 15 hours of editing.

If you are willing to support me leave a comment, subscribe and share my work, I really appreciate and it helps me a lot!

D.R.G.M. stands for 'Deutsches Reichsgebrauchsmuster'. That was the 'small' patent in Germany from 1891 till 1945.
The grater was in a quite good condition considering its age. The plating on the inner part was in a good condition and didn't have much damage, so after a lot of thinking I decided to leave it on and add a new layer of plating on the original layer. Even though that is untypical you can do that, if the original plating is in a good enough condition, meaning that there are no major damages and the plating is not corroded much or is peeling off.

I hope you will have some fun watching the video! If you have any further questions on the process, tools, material, nickel plating or else write a comment, I will try my best to answer your questions.

I hope you liked the video! Thank you for watching and feel free to leave a comment and subscribe if you liked :)
