104 Years Old Cooking Stove Restoration - Why Did They Stop Producing Them?

Показать описание
In this video, I restore an old rusty cooking stove made in France in the 1920s. More about the restoration process: It was very challenging but rewarding, as usual, and I learned a lot about cooking stoves! The little stove was in disrepair when I got it. The fuel tank was damaged entirely and couldn't be used anymore; it had a considerable hole that required a lot of skill and patience to repair, as well as many dents and a missing lid. The inside mechanism was utterly gone, too, and I had to rebuild it from scratch. If you want to learn more about this antique French stove, I encourage you to watch this video. When I saw it, even though I was shocked at how bad it looked, full of dents, bends, rust, and burn! The most challenging part was the tank, which had a wick stuck inside and many holes.
After removing the rust, the parts were painted with heat-resistant paint, and I polished all the beautiful brass parts. At the end of the video, I made a test so you can see how it works! More about the camping/cooking stove: It was manufactured by the famous F. VULIN et Cie, Réchaud à pétrole 'AZUREA,' at the beginning of 19 century. I hope I have caught everything, but if you have any questions, you can comment, and I'll get back to you! Cheers! Johnny.

Amazing. People who restore old things to their former glory deserve a special place in this world. Thank you.

I love that you actually used the stove to cook something. I've seen a number of restoration videos and the all show beautiful transformations. But when the object being restored has a function, like a lamp, or a pie safe, or a cook stove, it's just more impact full to see the finished item doing that job.

When they built this thing, they sure never intended that it be taken apart.

You're right, " Why DID They Stop Producing Them?". No electricity needed. Also, it's adorable. Great restoration, thanks for sharing.

Besides restoration skills, this guy has a sharp memory. He remembers components' positions while dismantling them.

Incredible resurrection. And damn, the manufacturer's plate says "Feurs (Loire)"! It's really close to my birth place. Amazing to see that, back in the days, we were able to produce such appliances locally. 😯

Excellent restoration and honouring the original parts where you could. Kudos!

It's not the taking apart that's hard.
It's the putting back together with all the pieces in place that is amazing!

Clearly, ypu are very talented with a wide variety of tools. A pleasure to watch a craftsman in action. Just wish you added more subtitles for those of us with less skills. Something like "using X tool to do Y" would be hugely informative and a big plus.
