Video Description

Today I'm restoring a drop candy roller machine made by Thomas Mills & Bro. Making candy is much more fun and easy than I expected! The machine is made of heavy cast iron and the rollers are bronze. I started by sandblasting it to remove the rust, then powder coating to bring it back the shine and finally making lots of candy.
