Moving into restorations? Did you get approval from the elders?

[@cutwerx9197]

I made the call.....Sorry to go over your head.

😂😂😂

[@franks.5069]

Are you even allowed to call it a restoration if you're replacing original cast iron rims from the late 1800s with cheap steel bases? 😉

[@bobleeswoodshop7919]

jimmydiresta what fun I will ok for you Brett , I have age more than most! 😂😂😂

[@brianhartfield8385]

I'm not the only one who saw a face in the machine housing... right?!? Right?!? Love seeing new life given to old tools! Absolutely proves that you don't need a ton of tools to do a great restore. Wonderful work Capn'!!!

[@skullandspade]

Such a weird face. Angry LEGO man

[@FalconRider01]

I never knew that Tarantino made a movie about an old bench grinder.

Your wire-wheel is sideways though...

This ended up being the most chill resto ever. Need to go track down The Wolf now. Think I might be able to learn a thing or two from him. Nice job! Thanks for sharing!

[@skullandspade]

Thank YOU Seth. He’s a wealth of knowledge

[@davebauerart]

Beautiful transformation. There's a lot of good old tools hiding under a little rust and a lot of dirt.

[@skullandspade]

Aye, well said

[@gayle525]

Another of your fine jobs. Well done, plus extra storage too.

[@skullandspade]

Indeed

[@samritte]

SO. HANDSOME. And that’s quite a nice bench grinder.

Aye ; )

Nice score! Not a bad shop addition at all, it came out sweet😉✌🏼Thanks for taking us along for the restoration.

[@9Antonian]

I didn’t know Quentin Tarantino was directing restoration vids? Excellent score, very well done, can’t wait to see another!

Well good!

[@thecoastalalchemist7242]

Love the jams, love the chill vibes man. Favorite channel on this so called youtube. Cheers.

[@skullandspade]

Well that is fantastic

[@TungstenMatt]

That beauty isn’t too top heavy? Came out awesome! Great edit and The Wolf bit was fantastic. Thanks for the fun video.

[@skullandspade]

The base is quite a bit heavier than the grinder. Plus, mounting the motor lower helps with any wobble

[@bennydesign]

Loved the "Pulp Fiction" reference!!

[@skullandspade]

Good!

[@FredMcIntyre]

Awesome job Brett! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

[@skullandspade]

Thanks Fred!

[@laurinos8774]

Looks like a real workhorse and I love the character old customised tools have. And hats to making game sponsors work it is not easy but you did it.

[@skullandspade]

I sure try

[@tammastrongbear]

love the storytelling in this video. it was great. i also love the way you made the sponsor ad feel like part of the story. love the new videos and it is good to see that you are getting more gear in your shop.

Finally!!!

[@GrahamDallas]

Thanks Brett, that was great. What a cool grinder.

[@skullandspade]

Agreed. The previous owner did a lot of his own fabrication on it. Hence the LEGO face

Cool resto, Brett! Billy

Good deal

[@TrevorHigginsDustysqueak]

Fantastic. I like the wire wheel hanging over the edge. I should do that with mine. Well done Brett.

[@skullandspade]

Definitely helps to have air space. No worries of trapping your hand under it.... not that I’ve done that....

[@alanscannell]

Very nice sir 💁‍♂️🎩 I tip my hat to you. It did not look like something that would run again and now it looks smashing 👍

[@RestorationAustralia]

I want a grinder like this. Nice job.

[@skullandspade]

Yusssss

[@the_cheese]

This is a really cool restoration, and I appreciate the PF references! If you find that the belt slips under load when using the grinder, it may be because the pulley on the electric motor isn't really intended to drive a belt. Great work, Cap'n!

[@skullandspade]

Noted and filed! Thanks as always Cheese Man

[@TF856]

What restoration? That was originally a very old bench grinder and it was also modified/butchered many decades ago. So it's no longer original and then he modified it again so it's even less original. It's no longer an antique of any kind. He also put it on a modern stand. A real restoration would be to turn it back into a bench grinder without cutting off the work supports. A total hodgepodge with parts from different eras. A restoration is to turn something back into the way it was originally designed and built from the factory. This might be considered what some people refer to as a renovation. To take something old or historic and modernize it into something that no longer resembles the original.

[@parzdiver]

Another funny, creative, and informative video. Love your stuff.

[@skullandspade]

[@eddietowers5595]

Wait, so the grinding wheel assembly was an electric grinder with its innards removed yet operational with a separate belt driven motor?! Dude, you did the originator of this particular machine justice, in a skillful art form.👍

Is this Tarantino week? Adam Savage just posted a show and tell of his replica Bride Sword. : ) Great video. Such a cool idea to pay tribute to a great director. That bench grinder sure has a story behind it. It has at least 2 - 3 lives. Mahalo for sharing. : )

[@skullandspade]

Thank ye. The old one was pretty busted

[@FigmentsMade]

Darned good shining machine restoration. Excellent audio (and other) editing as always. And now you have an angry LEGO head yelling at you every time you use your grinder! Should be good for...motivation? Good times.

[@skullandspade]

Thanks frank!

[@madmodifier]

Did you cut off the tool rest mounts because you never plan to use this as a grinder again? Just a buffer wire wheel machine.

[@skullandspade]

Pretty much. We tend to use stone/hard wheels on the angle grinder, and in the last 4 years, I’ve never needed those rests. More dangerous than they’re worth

[@dfbess]

That is an awesome old grinder.. bet Jimmy will be jealous..

[@nestorknoxs3795]

Probably not, he might already have 13 sitting in a corner in one of his 20 shops!!🤣

^ he’s right

[@Brownstone31]

Yes this really is a restoration. 😉

[@skullandspade]

I sure hope so

[@nikond90ful1]

Thanks for the video Brett. Nice rebuild. You really need handles for those files. Use a golf ball on the bigger one. I'm sure you can knock up a simple wood turning handle for the small ones or a bit of a rubber hose or even a re-use an empty 12g CO2 cylinder I have seen someone do somewhere? Keep safe and stay well.

[@skullandspade]

I’ll get right on that!

[@mortenhenningsen940]

Nice job. 102 enviromental points,from rescuing it from landfill/scrapyard. You need to paint scull on top of it. It ads 10 extra points
