Why is the setting for the sandblaster pixilated?

I can't really even watch any other restoration channel at this point. This guy goes so far with this stuff.

How well did it work? The lower grinder burr looked too worn out to produce a fine or even a medium grind.

Wait this is for coffee?? Smh my grandpa's house used to have one of these and we always used it to grind up black peppers. As a kid it was one of the better "chores" to refill the pepper shakers.

Ooh we've got one of these at home! Obviously not as aged, but it's just pretty cool to see the same "tech" used for so long

Mesmerizing.

Dang, this is more of a resto-mod than just a restoration, ha. All the effort gone into making new parts.

This guys channel is absolutely amazing, but his restorations always make me think about the Ship of Theseus argument - at what point has he "restored" the original grinder, if he replaces so many of the components with new ones? Obviously it's still the same device functionally, but it's interesting to see how much he'll replace to bring it back to what it used to look like - so much so that he may as well have built a new one himself.
