Old Broke Bread Cutter Restoration

This device—a manual, hand-cranked device with a sharp blade that was previously a standard in bakeries and homes all across the world—is not your usual electronic bread slicer.

Although the restoration procedure was drawn out and difficult, the outcome is nothing short of stunning. The machine’s wooden components were decaying, it was rusted all over, and its blade was dull and rusty. Yet I was able to revive an old bread slicer with a little hard work, perseverance, and commitment.

I’ll walk you through each stage of the restoration procedure for the machine in this video, from removing and cleaning each component to sanding and refinishing the wooden parts. You can see how I dealt with the metal parts’ rust and corrosion, sharpened the blade, and put the machine back together to restore it to its former splendor.

This film is for anybody who enjoys witnessing a labor of love come to fruition, whether they are fans of antique equipment, curious about the history of bread, or both. See how a small amount of work can transform something that was once discarded into a priceless piece of history by following me on this journey of restoration and discovery.
