Wow, this was b4 the 3 of you were born! I didn't realize/forgot you had family at Karlstad. MN bible camp had twin blonde boys from Karlstad - Don and Dean. Is it possible I spotted them in this video at approximately 1:11-ish?
My parents had one of these and we used it while camping somewhere in the Rockies, South Dakota and Montana back in the 1960s. We lived in Williston and then in Fargo-Moorhead. As a matter of fact, I remember visiting family friends who used to live in Williston but had moved to the West Coast where the father/husband was a court reporter. They had three children but I confess my favorite was the oldest, a daughter, who I enjoyed playing with before we were school age. She and I attended Sunday School together, holding hands as we took the stairs to the church basement where our Sunday school room was located. We had so many petticoats under our dresses we could barely descend the steps side-by-side! B-Ray, my parents were Bob and Jean. My brother Jerome. Remember us?
Yes, I most assuredly remember you all. And I remember visiting your home in ND. Your house was nearly identical to my grandparents home in Williston. One thing I vaguely remember, for some reason, was a pop can collection stacked up, and the pull tabs were made into a chain. Am I right? Was that Jerome's? Or was it someplace else? I don't recollect how our parents knew each other, but remember that they were good friends. Thanks for the comments.
I most likely going to use 2 inch puck vents too as the shed soffit frame is 21/2 inch…ouch. One for each 15 inch between rafters. Love the workmanship. Thanks.
Plane looks mid to late 60's? Dad had one I bought the same sander for $35 bucks with a Craftsman 1 hp motor and a decent plywood box/cabinet that it was bolted to. Motor has rust speckles but hums like it was new. It has no sanding plate or table. Its missing the belt tensioner lever. I might make one if i can find good photos. I think these are 1952. Nice find to restore. 👍
@@BRay.549 I discovered quickly that 1 HP isn't enough. It doesn't have the "tires" on the rollers and I think that creates a lot of friction because the sanding belt has to climb upwards a quarter inch to get to the table, then 1/4 inch down as it comes off the table. I totally disassembled, cleaned, de-rusted, and repainted it. Looks pretty nice now. I need to find the tires or make some and keep my eyes open for a 2 HP motor. I suppose for now, a 4 inch belt would help. It takes up a lot of space for something I won't use often ..... but I have it and someone else doesn't 😂 Soooo much better built than new stuff.
Those curved end pliers look like what’s used for bending watch strap pins to fit curved straps, with you saying he was a clock maker of sorts, I’m thinking that might be what they are 🤷♂️. Awesome video 👍
DUST PROBLEM SOLUTION for saws with open splayed legs.: You will need: a) 2 040 Aluminum Sheeting 30.75”W x 34.L b) 8 6-32 x 3/8” Phillips truss head screw, for funnel assembly, Truss head on the inside. c) 8 #6 split Lock washers d) 4 #8 x1.0" hex head self drilling screws e) 4 #8 x1.5" hex head self drilling screws f) 2 Low Volume expanding foam g) 1 Silicone Caulk h) 1 Caulking gun i) 2 Pair Long rubber gloves j) 4 4” C-Clamps k) 1 ¾” or wider steel angle iron 36: long for bending aluminum l) 1 ¼” hex Screwdriver You need to make a low pressure area of high velocity under the saw. Remove the belt. Remove the motor mount from the saw by loosening two black 1/2" bolts. Next remove the base from the saw (Four bolts.) Remove the frame from the table top Wood is a terrible material for dust collection parts. Make templates from thick poster board or .020 thin rigid plastic sheet. You are making an object very similar to a big Gulp funnel. I tried the big gulp and it does not work well. Using .040 Aluminum (not wood!), You will create a four-sided aerodynamic smooth funnel that tapers downward into a chisel point. Choose what side you want to extract the dust the funnel will be in two pieces and have two seams. The side of t funnel with the port must be reinforced with two layers of aluminum at least 10"tall, 10"wide and bent reinforcements on both sides. and caulk into place on the inside. Heat / Anneal the areas where you intend to bend. Test fit and mark where it sits. The wall with the port must be vertical. Bend into a shape of a funnel. Caulk the seams. Caulk all the holes in the saw frame. Make a rubber gasket from .062- .125 "TH neoprene for the angle locking knob and glue into place with contact cement. Do the sale for the blade height wheel and angle slot. Make a long gasket with a slit in the middle of it. You have about 27" from the top of the base to the bottom vertically. Your funnel should be 1-2" off the ground and you want the funnel to extend upwards into the saw about 6-8". About 1/2" above the mark you made you want to cut the bends down to that line and temporally bend vertical into a rough rectangle and bend the corners 90° . This will allow you to put the saw back onto its base with the help of a friend. But not yet. Problem, is you have a lip inside the saw frame that needs to be covered with the aluminum above the base. Else Sawdust will accumulate. These aluminum "flanges" are bent inward to allow the table saw to be remounted onto the base. Drill two 3/16" holes into each side about 4-5" apart and a 1/2" height lower than the aluminum flange height. Into these holes you will eventually insert four #8 x1.0" hex head self drilling screws to hold the flanges at their maximum angle. Reattach the frame to the base without the saw. Now that you have the funnel made and ready put into place. DECIDE: You can either glue it in place with expanding foam or screw it in place to the base with four #8 x1.5" hex head self drilling screws placed through the base. To make it removable, you need to wrap the outside Saran plastic wrap. I chose not to. Either way, use LV expanding foam with long gloves and not Duct tape. Apply the foam behind all four Aluminum flanges Go slow but make sure it fills all the cracks and corners. Do one side at a time and then screw that side into place with the #8 x1.0" hex head self drilling screw. Then repeat for the next side. Use 3" wide Aluminum tape to seal any expanding foam seam leaks. Connect your 4" port to the funnel with 6-8 screws and caulk Allow to caulk harden for 48 hours. 2" wide Aluminum tape can be used to smooth out any rough edges by applying pressure only on the edges of the tape and not in the middle. TEST: Layout plastic 8 x 8' on the floor Get small bucket of sawdust and slowly pour it into the funnel from every angle without suction. shake funnel slightly and note with a marker where dust is accumulating. Remove any near horizontal lips or ledges and cover with Aluminum, tape. NOT DUCT tape. Duct tape will quickly dry out and fail.. Aluminum tape does not dry out. Clean up funnel and repeat test until there are no places saw dust can accumulate. TEST with Suction on. Same test. But do not skip previous test or you have wasted your time and money. Lubricate the saw. Reassemble the saw. Rear of saw is the air inlet. So no dust should accumulate here. You can adjust velocity by blocking off up to 50% of this area. But since the Motor swings with the trunnion you will never cover the entire area. If you did cover the entire area, you would slow down the air velocity and starve your dust collection system for air. You want to move alot of air very quickly You need BOTH suction above the blade for fine particles and below the blade for heavy particles. Use a cyclonic dust collector on a 25" or taller barrel. The taller the barrel the better they work.
I know exactly the problem I work on these phonographs it’s the springs that’s tumbling around and they’re very dry so that’s the reason why it’s slowing down take it to your nearest repair shop for Victrola
Really nice that these tools came to someone who appreciates their past. Also the 'light touch' kind of restoration somehow seems best for items that have a history. Well done!
Those 1" belt disc sanders are a great addition to any shop. I bought mine about a year ago off Facebook Marketplace and i don't know how i ever lived without it😂
As a novice restorer myself i am truly enjoying the progress on this beautiful old Unio machinist toolbox. Thanks so much for bringing us along. It's looking great so far. I hope to see more videos on this soon
That old Victor is pretty cool. I remember my grandparents having a big cabinet style wind up with a horn looking thing on it where the sound came out of it. I believe it was an RCA but that was 50 years ago 😂 i wish I knew wherevit was.
I just picked up a Kennedy kits 520 that looks almost identical to that. I've always wanted one but wasn't willing to pay the price most people want for them. I got lucky and helped friend out cleaning out his dads woodshop and he gave me a bunch of nice old tools and the Kennedy toolbox. I just picked up new brown felt for drawers yesterday. I'm going to clean it up and see what it looks like under all the dirt before i decide whether I'm going to restore it or just refelt it and use it as is.
The little hand plane looks just like my Millers Falls No 56. If it is it will be faintly stamped on very bottom of the left hand side on the outside of the ane.i didn't see the stamp on mine until i wire wheeled it and cleaned it up.
