As with (almost) every restoration I've done so far, I like to learn and try a new technique, in this restoration video it's "stabilizing wood". My object for this project is an old antique pepper mill. During the restoration I had to do the following: sanding, sandblasting, turning on the lathe, threading, filling, painting, stabilizing wood and much more. This video is not only to quickly show someone how something works, but also to relax and get away from it all! Relax while watching the video and enjoy what you see and hear. I recommend you put on headphones and listen closely at certain points (I've highlighted them), there are often very strange sounds.... Have fun!

▶ What did I do ?! ◀
As always, I disassembled the old pepper mill to be able to restore it. Then I sandblasted the metal parts with corundum in the sandblasting cabin. Then I deburred the grinder with the files and smoothed the surface with wire attachments for the multitool. I remade the set screw that adjusts the coarseness of the pepper on the lathe because it was missing altogether. To protect these parts from rust in the future, I "boiled" them in vinegar. One sheet of the antique pepper mill I polished and nickel plated. The upper parts I painted with black lacquer. The wooden body I sanded and stabilized with cactus juice, this is done with a vacuum tank, vacuum pump and oven. At the end of the project, of course, I put all the parts back together.
