Antique Nutcracker Press Restoration - The Most Useless Invention Ever!?

In this restoration video, you will see sandblasting, metal work, powder coating, chrome painting, and the usual restoration work details. This nutcracker press was made for sure after 1910. I did detailed research and found some similar ones but not the same, so it is a unique vintage kitchen tool. The restoration process went well, even though the nutcracker press was very rusty. I was surprised while disassembling it by the brass nuts; they give this antique press such a personality. This old kitchen tool cost about 25 $, and I bought it online from a local shop similar to eBay. I hope you like this restoration video and share this autumn joy with me. Cheers, and Thanks for watching !!!
