❤️💯👍👌

Dont get me wrong, i could not clean it like this. But when it comes to sharpening... ah, man, you can't pretend you know what you're doing. Give it to me, give it to someone who does, but please dont leave it like that, restoration is not over.

Exceptional quality restoration great patience "Both"

The drill !

Only just found your channel , what a wonderful restoration and that finishing touch really brought tears to my eyes x

Excellent restoration... I love the way it came out.

I have one of these from my grandads workshop. It's still in working condition and every now and then I give it a little elbow grease it's in good condition... Minus where someone drilled into the faceplate when they were a small boy... (cough)

Excelente restauracion tengo esa pieza saludos

Well done cracking job especially at the end the war memorial years I'd love to do that with one of my Tommy Helmats 👍 lest we forget.

Thanks for sharing that, well done!

😳😳😳 wow

I would like to see the stanley .

How did you get the lateral adjustment lever back on? I never take that off because I don't know how to get it back on. So I was very excited when I saw you grind it off, only to have my hopes dashed on the cutting room floor. Beautiful work.

If there's one thing I remember from wood shop classes at school, it was *_"Never, EVER, put the jack plane down on its blade"_* 😡

Awesome job!

Mine doesn't have any strew on the handle

The drill.

Great work very rrc which is a great compliment 👍

Both please but if I only get one the saw

Soooooooo like $500 worth of labor to restore a MAYBE $20 plane........that didn't even really make good shavings in the end? I don't get it.

Why put so much time and effort in to such an inferior plane?

That looks better than when you get it out of the shop!!! Well done sir.

can you tell me what paint you used please as i have 3 planes to find a new home for thanks

Hi, I have recently found this exact type of lamp in a grandparents shed and was wondering if you had any clue what type of lamp it was? Also i love this video I spent an hour trying to take it apart before j found you 😅

I used to do this, and every plane used to take me on average 21 hours to restore one.

Great vid, but do you know you restored a 20$ plane (in good condition)? And you need to flatten the sole and sides with the plane assembled…

Very nice job. Is there something wrong with your bench grinder? It sounds very rough.

Liar! Even your wood handles had rust flakes on them,,, And the plane body... big flakes of rust and no pitting... You should be ashamed!

Hahaha scam - look at the screw on the front knob - not a hint of degradation. If that amount of rust had occurred normally the wooden pieces would also have been badly damaged.

This is brilliant! Thank you!

saw

The electrolysis should have released all foreign matter and buffs out clean. Why all the scouring, degreaser, sandblasting, etc.? And uhm, why not a more durable (exterior grade) varnish?

Very nice work.

I think he's done great with these. For me personally i like the age look, I clean from any rust sharpen teeth and that's it each to there own though great job

You are a true master of restoration.

Beautiful restoration! You have a fine piece of equipment there that will last you a generation. I’m glad I found your channel.

Nice restoration! I have one similar (don’t know the maker) it was my fathers but still works everyday even though I’m retired now. And everyone that comes into my workshop has to pick it up and try out the pump. Everyone likes the sound and feel. I don’t mind until I run low on oil!

With the small depth adjuster and the keyhole lever cap, the front knob should be low, and slightly flattened. The knob shown is a replacement.

Nice .that’s my sticker you fitted

Saw

Nice job! Knowing me, I would have forgotten to install the nut before reassembling the chuck!

From South Africa I have 3, 2 singles and a double. 2 need restoration, what did u use for a widow ?

A beautiful cosmetic restoration, even down to nickel plating the motor case bolts. Well done Brian. If you don't mind me saying; the technical restoration needs a bit more attention though, unless intended for display purposes only; At 12.12; The motor rear bearing should only be a push fit. The clue is in the two little retention clamp plates, along with the spring washer on the front bearing pushing the shaft rearwards. You shouldn't be hitting the motor shaft as a drift to 'seat' the outer race via shock load through the race grooves & balls or you could end up with a notchy or reduced life bearing. At 21.30; The saw guide hex slide needs those bogus springs removed. The allen cap bolt heads should be seated in their counterbores, with thread tails protruding below the sawframe, and locknuts fitted. The slide should be adjusted & tightly locked to be a close sliding fit over its full range of travel, just like lathe slide gib adjustment. There's nothing stopping those sprung bolts working loose in this very high movement area, (unless you put very strong loctite on them off camera). The very thing you don't want on that hex slide is the ability to rock causing digging in on the ends of the top block & saw frame, generating high load points , excess friction, and uneven wear. At 18.52 when you said you'll leave the nuts loose for now, I was really hoping you'd be showing belt alignment & tensioning. I had to make nutplates to free up one hand to just tighten from the boltheads so the other hand could be used to pull on a piece of bar in the vice to get enough tension for a non slipping belt. Otherwise it's a two person job.

Absolutely brilliant restoration of this bench drill press, Hammerite and grease are THEE way to go I feel!! A small question though if I may? @3.45, ish, it showed you buffing up the main stem/pole of the unit with the foot attached, could you not detach the foot for some reason? On most videos I have seen on restorations of bench and floor stood drill presses, the foot is almost always removed for a restoration. Just wondered that's all, superb restoration all the same! I've binge watched ALL of your video's now and am all caught up.....MORE PLEASE!!

So glad you greased.....I like greased.....and I like oiled to!!!

I jave one identical to this. Got lucky it had the original weights with it.

Used real japanning unlike almost all other folks GREAT

I love seeing brass brought back to shine. Very nice 👍🙂 restoration.

outstanding work. I learned a lot about electroplating. Why did it not work on some pieces? Thank you for taking the time so do this 📹 video. dee

I really enjoyed this restoration. That's a very nice little saw, I've never seen one like it. You did a great restoration on it.
