In this restoration video, you will see me restoring an antique noodles/pasta machine. The machine looks like it was handmade by a master of those times, and some parts were handforged.
The machine is made of heavy cast iron with some bronze parts. I tried to keep an antique look and preserve the marks of time that are working to prove its age/authenticity. I removed only the prominent casting marks. Such machines can be found in a meager number, or sometimes unique, like in this case, and covering them with metal filler or sanding till a perfectly smooth surface can be a significant mistake. The real masters of restoration know this very well.
The restoration process took me almost a month due to too many pieces to restore/repair. I used only foodgraded products (paint and oil).
Making homemade noodles is more fun and easy than I expected, even though the first attempt failed. It was only needed to add a bit more flour. I firmly believe that this pasta machine was meant to be hung on the wall so you can easily insert the cake and crank the handle, and the pasta will just fall into a bowl.
I hope I have caught everything, but if you have any questions, you can comment, and I'll get back to you!
Cheers! Johnny.
