What I love the most about this mechanism is the gear system, such a beautiful piece of engineering for the times! Simple, yes, yet very much elegant in its function. I look forward to see more amazing restorations such as this one!
I absolutely LOVE watching you restore the vintage machines. I can’t help but think how pleased each piece you restore must be with getting their new digs!! They all look so beautiful!! Blessings always. ♥️🙏🏼♥️
I love your videos. I watch them a lot when I'm trying to sleep because it's so calming to watch old, broken down things become like new again. Your editing is perfect too.
I was hoping you'd paint the lettering. I always like being able to read what they say, especially on vintage things. But it looks awesome! Great job on the restoration!
Nice, but you should really protect the ways of your lathe when you're grinding. The grinding stone dust will now stick in the oil, which will eat into the ways. You need to fully clean it out.
I just marvel at watching the restores not that you clean them up but in many cases you are able to replicate a part no longer being made. You are a true craftsman sir, much respect to you.
I see someone else who enjoys Bonne Maman jams, my favorite is red raspberry. Lovely to see Avril give approval of finished product. As always, great restoration. :)
Je vous regarde depuis un moment maintenant et je dois vous dire en toute sincérité que votre chaîne de restauration restera une de mes favorites avec My Mechanics. Un travail toujours aussi agréable à regarder. Avec à chaque fois une apparition du petit rouquin poilu (ou rouquine ?). Merci à vous pour vos vidéos et bonjour de Metz
Always love watching your videos! Better than many other restoration channels out there and always great variety of items you restore ☺️ Already looking forward to the next one!
According to google the amouroux freres was a big factory making all manner of farm tools in the early nineteen hundreds and late eighteen hundreds in Toulouse. Awesome to know this pieces provenance. You did some local history proud brother. Well ahown my friend
Looks like the younger hand like to work with wood more than with metal :) Also first part of the video feels a little rushy. Don't rush. There's no need. I like your videos cause they are slow and calm.
Your videos are always so satisfying, thank you for all your hard work. Just to set up video content/editing, and restore something at the same time is insane. Thank you so much
I love the segments where it's "file the end of the rivet;pound the rivet a bit; oh look! Mr Drill Press arrived and fought the rivet!; the rivet comes out." :D
Great job on the restoration.nice to see something that was built when people were proud of what they did.thanks for keeping it the way it was.keep doing what your doing 😎😎😎👍👍👍
If it was my restoration, I wouldn't have filed down the casting lines or changed the nuts. I enjoy seeing and feeling those casting lines because they're a reminder of the fact that people built these machines, not other machines. People who saw those places where the casting molds met and decided that they were unimportant, whereas a machine would have been programmed to perfectly round and rough edges. And I just like the look of the old-style square nuts. Other than those inconsequential nitpicks, great job!
I've been watching your videos to sleep for months now. I get how that may not sound very flattering, but I tell you I mean it in the best way possible!! I love watching you work, it's really interesting to see a master do his craft. The sound is nice and soothing, it gets me to finally relax after a long day. Thank you for the videos!!
Não sei o nome dos aparelhos, das peças ou das ferramentas. Só sei que adoro o barulho, o processo de restauração, cada som de batida, sem conversa, sem música. E o resultado final é sempre bonito.
I used to watch a show called. "How It's Made". The lousy music they played drove me nuts. I'd mute it, but I like sound. Your videos are so informative and satisfying to watch and I love the sounds in the shop.
Really nice restauration and although the disks look like they wobble, they have an even surface as shown with the drill. Nice to see this old piece of equipment useful again.
I sure Loved this video. My other half woke up an saw me watching this an they couldn't go back to sleep till this was over. Thank you for sharing this video.
Very nice work guys !!! Good job straightening out that grinding stone too. I love the blue very fitting also like the blackening by dipping in the oil 👍👍 great videos always guys !!
Idk the youngest audience you’ve had, but I’m 15. I have high functioning autism and a sensory disorder. And watching your videos always help me put my head to rest, idc what anyone in my highschool would say. You’re my therapeutic youtuber and I love your videos. I’d love to get a response or a heart atleast so you know how much you help ppl, especially ppl with special needs and young audience like me
Awesome job! I have never seen a hand powered grinder like this and the restoration turned out awesome. I think brazing might have been a better bet that welding. Less chance of the weld popping lose because of the heat affected area adjacent to the weld. Since the spoke won't be subjected to a lot of axial lode it should be fine. But, I suppose if it stuck, it stuck.
TgWags: NEVER use rags on a Lathe bed, if it catches in the rotating chuck you are in trouble, use only tissue, that will tear away and not cause a problem, but as you say, the Lathe bed must be covered, too late now though. Chris B.
Great work as always! Although I have a question, when you move on to wood turning, is there a reason why you dont cut off the corners of the block of wood you are working on before you start turning? I would imagine starting with something that is slightly more shaped like a cylinder would help make the process easier.
Very nice work LADB.. Love the projects with a combination of wood and metal.. And Avril is always coming to ck out the finished product.. Take care my friends...
there is not enough flywheel for energy and the grindstone plays a lot, considering how much effort has been spent on restoration. Few people strive to modify the old so that they can do the job more efficiently. Your video is really good
I note that when filing a curve you tend to lead up and over the curve with the handle of the file down and leading with the tip above the curve ending below. This will tend to give a series of small flats around the curve rather than a flowing curve. If you lead with the handle above the curve and lower it as you move through finishing with the handle below and the tip high you will get a much smother curve without the flats and it will go faster as the cutting teeth of the file stay in continues contact with the work.
Odd that some people file a radius this way, and end up with a good job, others, including myself, file starting with the handle high as you obviously do.
Je regarde vos vidéos avec beaucoup de plaisir depuis longtemps vous faites une restauration impeccable bravo et continuez de nous montrer votre chat Avril merci pour tout
Je vous dit un grand bravo monsieur pour tout ce que vous faite,C’est vraiment impressionnant,je vous regarde tout les jours,comment vous faite pour remettre toutes les choses à leurs place😃bravo encore beaucoup de courage👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
That looks really wonderful, I love the colour it is just right for this restoration, you really must cover the bed of your Lathe whenever grinding dust is around, the abrasive dust will get under the ways and ruin the Lathe in very short time, and the thread on the left hand side of the arbour should be left hand, otherwise when the grind stone is used it will undo. Good to see Avril is inside out of that rain you are getting! Chris B.
Love love watching your amazing videos. The only negative thing I would have to say is that you don’t make enough I’ve watch all of your videos and I’m constantly looking to see if any new ones have magically appeared .
Very Nice that was cool. It even caught the attention of my Other half. I don't remember if I had ever seen one like this in my Old age. Lol ! I appricate you taking time out to share your passion of restoring items with us. Thank You
The company that made this also made enormous early twentieth century steam powered farm plows. Can you imagine the heat and fury of the casting areas making huge cast parts.
