After rewatching some of your older videos and loving them all over again, I've decided that Avril needs a raise. Quality Control is such a demanding and thankless job! More treats! LOL
I really respect you letting old tools keep their character, instead of grinding all the imperfections away. That's what makes your restorations great. Also love the Hammerite hammered dark green, one of the best tool colors!
I've been watching your channel from the beginning, when all you had was hand tools and to see all the tools you now make me so happy for you.The restorations are top quality I was really impressed with how you cut the groove in the stand. I'm excited to see how much more you can do
Very nice restoration. The final thing looks really good. You could feel the cat's support. Also I am glad there was no background music it gives the restoration an authentic feel 👍
Par ma barbe, c'est magnifique... J'ai une affection particulière pour les outils non dépendants de l'électricité ou du pétrole, et ce que je vois là c'est juste le plus bel hommage qu'il puisse y avoir à l'essentiel. Chapeau les gars !
Nice Restoration my friend, used to love doing stuff like that myself but on slightly larger machinery like Lathes and Mills etc. Did over 45 years in Engineering but sadly my Eyesight is going now in the only eye i have left; but was just thinking and laughing to myself watching you Hacksaw those shafts that after all that time in the game i could do anything you wanted with a hacksaw except Saw Straight.
Watching your videos is addictive, not only for the satisfaction of watching a restoration but for the opportunity to see those beautiful tools working again. Greetings from Mexico.
I can't believe how you and others like you can take something completely worn out and restore it to look like it's new again. Thanks for a great video!
I love how this restoration has come together. A lovely old drill press ready for another 100 years. Looks like you need to find yourself an old metal lathe next, as that will help with future work.
To me, its an honor to the original maker and designer of the tool, as well as the blacksmith that used the tool for many years in his shop. It reconnects us to the past, and even though these tools may no longer be practical in the modern world, they are good to have around so that young people can see what our ancestors used and how much harder life was before electric motors and modern conveniences.
Great work, a little love and elbow grease gets these amazing pieces of our past , back to the jobs they were intended for without all the frill and non-sense of 'looking new". Great work.
El funcionamiento general es OPTIMO¡¡. Me queda comprobado que la eficiencia de un taladro está en el TORQUE que se le imprime a la broca y NO la velocidad con que trabaja. El volante superior/horizontal - enorme por cierto - es la clave para la obtención del torque deseado. La pieza metálica de "prueba" que vemos, es realmente gruesa (calculo es de 1") y se logró un orificio en extremo LIMPIO y bien hecho. En verdad que la herramienta antigua manual - del período de la Revolución Industrial - es ETERNA y sumamente eficiente. FORMIDABLE la restauración de este equipo. Saludos desde MEXICO.
It looks GREAT 👍 I'd love to be your helper restoring these old machines/tools. Unfortunately I live in the USA, Washington State actually and it's a little to far to travel 😕. I love watching your videos.
You guys are awesome!! I am so surprised how clean this entire drill press came out! I know your the best I have seen on RU-vid but this for sure looked like it was going to be your ultimate challenge and once again you showed us your superior knowledge of tools and the talent you have. Thanks for another great restoration.
Everytime someone strikes an arc on these types of videos, I instinctively close my eyes or avert my gaze. Force of habit prevails although it makes no sense. You do very good work.
You make such amazing videos. I never even seen a large hand operated drill press like that. It is not just entertaining but historically learning as well.
I love seeing old tools like this brought back to life you are a true inspiration to others you do great work you're very meticulous and take great pride in your work great job !
I love your restoration videos. Could you please include notes on-screen of what you are using whenever you use liquids on the material, such as WD-40, rust remover, paint, etc. It would be very helpful to know what you use for those of us who are considering attempting similar restorations. I am planning to restore a cast iron park bench with wooden slats this summer, and I'd like to know what you are spraying on rusty bolts to remove them, for example.
Another excellent restoration, a good idea using the soft pin on the leadscrew, you want the pin to wear, not the leadscrew spigot, these videos are an inspiration to those that think that a rusty machine is only scrap and cannot be got into use again, this proves they can ! Many thanks for posting this. Chris B.
Witam i pozdrawiam!Super renowacja imadła i głowicy od wiertarki, będzie dalej służyć,przydatne narzędzia w domowym warsztacie..Dobry pokaz filmu z renowacji!Tak trzymać.
Сейчас хорошо работал электросваркой. Снял фаску, сделал хороший провар. Глубокий шов. На стан не и на рычаге станка шов плохой. (предыдущее видео) Зажим тиски: Уголок сколот, можно наварить металлом. Потом сточить шов. Губки с рытвинами: Можно электросваркой наварить каплю.потом сточить. Видео хорошее, молодцы.
I love watching someone who really knows their trade, work through complex problems and I don't mind admitting that I sit salivating at some of his tools. Great work Bro, keep it up 👍
I love these videos. Apart from the obvious skill and eye for detail of the restorer, also shows us all how things that look trash aren't just that and there a chance we can change things with not that much effort.
Der Mann ist ein wahrer Meister das macht Spaß zuzusehen wie er alles wieder neuwertig restauriert dazu noch die liebe Katze danke für das schöne Video Daumen hoch dafür
fantastic concluding video sir, the finish on this piece(in my humble opinion) is museum quality, and that's where it belongs for other generations to appreciate. thank you very much for sharing.
These old machines look so fun to tinker with; I wish I was there so I could take them apart to see how they worked, then put them back together again.
I dont know if I would’ve put a soft cotter pin back in the jaw, maybe a solid or spring pin... still with the job done the drill and vise sure are a work of art. Great find and thanks for bringing it back to life 😊
My Grandfather had one of these drill presses but I never knew how it was supposed to work, or that it was incomplete, until I saw this one. I love where you get your sand for cooling metal! Thanks for posting this video! : )
I appreciate the way you go about a restoration. It is very similar to the way I do things. You realize a tool will be used and worked with, and will receive wear and tear. Therefore, there is no need to re-work cast surfaces until they have an automotive-quality finish. There is no need to polish bare steel surfaces to a mirror finish. Your approach is much more realistic than some of these restoration videos online.
Glad to see kitty is still supervising. Have you considered installing a sand blasting/glass beading booth? It works wonders on cleaning metal parts without damaging them. Your videos are always a pleasure to watch!
I love those old, but very functioning,independent, indestructible and reparable tools! best engeneer ever! Time will come, when electric energy will be rare...
The drill as a whole is magnificent! The skill it takes to disassemble repair and reassemble takes years to develop. Love the history of it. And the Hammerite Green is the perfect color for it. Excellente restauration. Je vous remercie.
Wonderful restoration, best on RU-vid for antique power tools. I'm a little fanatic about proper use of some items: 1. don't use screw drivers as scrapers, pry bars, or chisels; 2. use appropriate size of flat blade for screw head, stops cam out, and much easier removal of screw; 3. Please don't use a glass jar on your bench as a oil quench vessel, drop your iron part in too heavily, glass breaks, now have flaming oil on your workbench. May I also recommend lynch pins (from a tractor 3-point hitch) instead of the two bolts you dropped through the cross retainer pin. These may be called something else in other countries, but that's what we call them in Canada. All said, your video's are the best.
Sir thanks for showing l go nuts for theis kind of repairs and re-use tooling. I was a machinery repair tec for 26 years I still love to bring back and repair them. The way things are going in this world l think it's time to make everything run well again.
