Restoration video of a Maco hand spice grinder these are also used as seed / pepper mill and coffee grinder. This is a very useful tool to still have today in the kitchen as a hand grinder / hand cranked mill
but this one has seen better days and needs restoring. Its not quite a rusty restoration but the paint is all chipped and rust and corrosion has come though the brass plate on two brass plated parts.  Also the pin that goes though the handle is bent so the handle is at a angle. There is a white rock hard substance stuck in the groves of the mill that needs removing. The handle has been rubbing against the brass funnel which sits on top and has squashed the rim a bit.So overall there's quite a lot to do to this Maco grinder so let's see how it turns out. And don't forget to Like & Subscribe.

Overall materials cost around $35 as I didn't have the paint colors I wanted to use on the grinder. 
But I only used about 25% of the paint so I have that for another project.

Time

Over all it took 26 hours but there was a lot of time waiting for paint to dry.
Actual work time was about 6 hours.
