Guys we are blessed to have KZbin Channels like this ! It is a free therapy session for men! Thanks Dr. Hut of Handcraft !

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Thank YOU my friend 🙏🏼

[@ElizabethFranquiEsq]

And women who appreciate restorations!

[@streametal]

@@ElizabethFranquiEsq yes they too! I‘m sorry Elizabeth 😬

[@claraalebrook3857]

I agree... I find that these videos are very relaxing.

[@CoolAgainRestoration]

Awesome outcome 👏

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Thanks man, really means a lot coming from you! 🙏🏼

[@stevehall4548]

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. I bought an Atlas Arbor Press last year and only had to do a clean up on it. That is a good thing since I don't own a metal lathe and can't make my own parts. Sigh...

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Glad that you enjoyed the video! Thank you for your comment

[@texas060]

Please tell your Friend Thank you from me for letting you borrow his Lathe. Thank you for job well 💖 done. ❤️ Love ❤️ your work this restoration turned out Awesome as Always. Thank you for Sharing this Amazing Restore and your Passion.

Thank you very much, I really appreciate it 🙏🏼

[@ZombieKillerXL5]

Some people don't understand the time and effort it takes to restore this kind of stuff, keep up the great work ☺️

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Thank you so much! 🙏🏼

[@persioboni9373]

Perfeito 👏👏

[@biggseye]

FYI, there should be a thin metal shim/spacer between the front plate and the press. This keeps the bolts from pressing directly on the moving press and scaring it.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Thank you very much for that info, I didn’t knew that! I will make one and add it. 🙏🏼

[@biggseye]

@@DrHutOfHandcraft You welcome.

[@georgecurtis6463]

Many models do not have this feature. In fact I have only seen it on harbor freight 1 ton models. I have seen a post were someone did machine the cover plate so he could instal a piece. I think he used a piece of brass but dont hold me to that.

Thank you Brian, glad you liked it!

[@sporkmeplenty]

I never knew that you could test for nickel or zinc with cold bluing. Thanks for the tip!

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Thank you for your comment, you’re welcome! I don’t know if it works with other cold bluing liquids, but it works with mine. On zinc it would’ve become deep black so I was able to tell that it’s not zinc but nickel by comparison

[@weekendstuff]

Awesome rebuild. I'm always questioning the use of filler though. Love the rough "natural" finish also.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Thank you! I guess it’s a matter of taste 🙂

[@StealthDonut1]

Gorgeous work, sir! Were you able to save the chemicals to remove the Chromium coating (that turned out to not be chrome)? I cannot imagine it to be a cheap chemical to replace. The end product is beautiful! Always wondered why they called it an "arbor press". Arbor is a word closely associated with trees and woodwork.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Thank you! Yes i was able to save it luckily and yes it wasn’t cheap 😅 Still waiting to have a really chrome plated part so I can use it 😄 Good question 🤔

[@paulsweeney5642]

Hello! That's great sttuff right here. I really enjoy your channel. Quick question : What kind of pad were you using with the angle grinder? It seems to work a like a marvel. Thanks!

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Thank you very much, I am happy that you like my work! If you mean the one that I was using to remove the paint: they are called CSD Discs. They are really good for removing paint and rust, without really removing the main material

Good job. But I personally would have never painted black .

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Thank you! Color is always a matter of taste 🙂

[@Master_Disla]

That’s a hard work. How long did it took in real time?

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

I started on September 1st with this project, but I can’t exactly tell you how many hours I worked on it

[@Master_Disla]

Oh. Ok

[@Dino_Buk]

I find HCL 33% to destroy chrome plating. It will turn chrome to "gold" within one hour.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Yes, but it was not chrome as I showed in the video and explained in the description, I just thought that it is chrome. And nickel is relatively consistent towards HCl, so it wouldn’t have done much.

you missed the pressure plate in the adjustment....i think u know now.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Yes I know, someone else pointed that out. As you have seen there wasn’t one so I didn’t knew that there has to be one, since I never had an arbor press. I made one yesterday and now it’s complete 🙂

Oh, he uses body fillers. Alright, I'll hit the subscribe button.

@@DrHutOfHandcraft I hope that you keep on like this, most restoration channels are just derusting then repainting small items/tools and I really do believe you can be in the talks of good channels like my mechanics, meine mechaniker and so on.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

@@snacktheslack wow thank you very much mate, I really appreciate it! 🙏🏼

[@Paperghost]

That black paint finish, being 'flat' showed up so many flaws in the metal finish that, for me, totally spoiled the final outcome. Had you used a hammer finish this would have hidden the dings, dents and flaws and better shown off your hours and hours of prep.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Thank you for your comment, I’m sorry that you didn’t like it. I Thought about using hammer finish, but I decided to use the satin jet black, because I really like it and I am very happy with the finish 🙂

[@CUBETechie]

Wouldn't it be better just removed the rust with the steel whool

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Instead of? Sandblasting or what do you mean?

[@joshmeehan1433]

What ratchet is that

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

The one I used for disassembling? Just a simple ratchet out of the hardware store. Or which one do you mean?

[@hswing11]

Why spend the time when you can buy one dirt cheap

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

There are several reasons for that. But forget about that, I think you are watching the wrong kind of videos with that kind of attitude :D

[@Drankoii]

Good job, looks fantastic!
