Restoring an 1871 Candy Drop Roller

This is impressive work cleaning, painting, and fabrication parts as needed to restore an 1871 machine that makes candy drops. A large amount of knowledge went into the project. I was most surprised when he used a playing card to spread on layer of paint.

It must have taken him a long time to do the restoration. I would not have the patience to restore a single bolt. His attention to detail extends to the video, it is a very nicely filmed.
