In this restoration video, I will bring back to life an antique meat slicer produced in Westfalia, Germany. I bought it from an antique website, thinking it would make a significant restoration. This antique kitchen tool is beautiful and massive but beaten up by time. The restoration process was arduous because all the parts were rusty and stuck. The meat slicer was built from many parts that I had to restore individually. Took me almost two weeks to achieve this result. The paint on it was also leadpositive, so I had to dispose of the waste and wear a mask all the time. I love how this antique meat slicer turned out and am happy I could save it from decay.
Now it is perfectly functional and can be used again!
