It Looks Like a Toy...But This Tiny Stove Actually Cooks

In this video, I restored a non-functional electric toy oven from the 1950s , received from TysyTube , which was found at antique markets in the south of France . A few details about the restoration : I started the restoration video as always by presenting and disassembling the oven , and during the disassembly , I noticed that the heating element was broken . Most likely , this oven—which was designed to operate at 110 volts—had been connected to 220 volts at some point , causing the heating element to burn out . After disassembly , I inspected all the parts on the workbench and drew up a plan for the restoration as well as for making the missing parts . So , aside from restoring all the parts—both large and small—this restoration also required me to fabricate a few components on the lathe and milling machine , which is quite satisfying for a restoration project . An important point I mentioned in the video is that I didn't add a ground wire to the old electrical circuit . So , here is my opinion : I didn't want to add a grounding wire because the items I restored are intended solely for display and aren't actually used ; that way , if they survive another 80–100 years and someone decides to restore this oven a decade or more down the line , I want them to see how things were done in the past .
