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

[@clydebalcom3679]

Seeing how you restore these tools from the past, it's obvious that you love the old school iron. I respect that.

[@rr8960]

Seeing Avril always brings a smile to my face. ❤️

[@krad2520]

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!

[@sandraanderson217]

I really liked the drill and this video. Green was definitely the way to go. Really like being able to hear you working and not mindless music! Thanks

[@AllFlavorWorkshop]

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 👍

[@Eric.Clarke]

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

[@KillberZomL4D42494]

There's something about these kinda videos that makes relax and I love it.

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.

[@guillermodelburgos8280]

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 !

[@freethought2296]

I think that's your best project so far I see Miss Avril is still doing a good job inspecting your work. I look forward to your next one!

[@matteoberneye5983]

This channel is starting to be one of my favorites. It's not for you great skills, is for Avril.

[@gutsngorrrr]

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.

[@akehapkap6143]

Someone should give him that. And a sandblaster. If he don't have already tho 😊

[@lewisadamson1389]

Looks amazing, I absolutely love Avril too, he's such an inquisitive wee fella

[@jvtraductor]

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.

[@biko055]

Very impressive! Thanks for taking us along on the journey. Cheers.

[@Drinksalotobeer]

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!

[@Cadwaladr]

I'm glad you have such a good orange helper. Mine is grey, almost 20 years old, and not interested in helping at all.

[@jamesrogers47]

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.

[@natsumoe9151]

Maybe you should get a welding helmet it'll save you money in the long run

[@duncanhowarth9514]

It's still advisable, to be honest with you. Better safe than sorry!

[@raoulvolfoni1800]

Keep on looking arc welding videos ! And if your eyes are painful , use some potatoes ! ( I'm not joking ) .

[@alti5657]

I do the same.

[@carlomezzatesta4659]

Put a number 10 lens over the phone when watching the welding.☺

[@PapaBear6t8]

5:25 Beautiful welding there... fish scales style. That's the way to do it! :)

[@spinejackel]

avril was the best lead supervisor i’ve ever seen on this restoration.

[@carlmcgee1623]

A restoration deserving nothing less than 1 million dollars. PERFECTION sir !

[@meanderingwithmuddypaw]

Amazing! So interesting to see all those parts and pieces come to life again! And sweet, cute kitty, too! - Muddypaw 🐾

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

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 KZbin 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.

[@Xhadowlord]

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.

[@verdatum]

Woooooow that vise was crunchy. I would not have attempted this restoration. Good on you.

[@spirithunter9305]

yeah he did a good job, i restore stuff too more wood stuff, and this was pretty fun to watch

[@florianmaschke269]

Me neither. Good save man...

[@totoyoli7278]

what an amazing restoration! How happy Avril looks in that beautiful place ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@robertmanley7556]

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 !

[@jorgefsanchezmarin]

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.

[@andyf.9438]

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

[@Trimtank]

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.

[@CJmonkee]

old school restoration... the old methods are the best! Great job!

[@markglessner2886]

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.

[@fynbo1007]

It’s looking so amazing, your work is awesome. Thank you for sharing your story. God bless you and your family

[@isaacray8530]

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 😊

[@stevenyoung5467]

The cotter pin is only for pulling the jaws apart. There's no actual load on it.

[@453421abcdefg12345]

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.

[@jrand2631]

Brilliant work, and this blacksmith drill press is enormous! 😲👍👍👍

[@rcjd7834]

That drill is so neat. Beautifully simple, and mesmerizing to watch.

[@nolanpalmer5181]

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.

[@Traderjoe]

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.

[@pyrace]

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 👍

[@lemongames268]

It's mesmerizing to see the results !

[@shartne]

Nice restore and very useful too if the electricity is not available.

[@fredosleepswiththefishes]

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.

[@beckysdolan7540]

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.

[@Bk99JzM]

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.

[@yuroribeiro5160]

What a imposing machine! Gorgeous! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@7rixee]

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.

[@jimwiskus8862]

Just tremendous work. Thank you for showing all of us that anything can be done if you try hard enough!

[@simpinatorthedestroyerofsi6056]

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.

[@user-lr1mi1ny9n]

Мог переплавиться в печи , нет , вторая жизнь . Хорошая рестоврация , как новый ...

[@advance9572]

Amazing restore! That's some drill press...👍

[@SomePeopleCallMeWulfman]

Great! It's like a restoration double-feature.

[@russellcampbell9641]

This guy is a true artist! C'est Magnifique!

[@Professor-baza10]

Я по началу вообще не понял что это за агрегат, а в конце стало понятно, что раньше вот такими махинами работали. Автор огромный молодец.

[@honeybreme5479]

Avril needs tiny safety glasses 🥽 😍

[@sergej247]

А вот это, брат, не восстановление, это как раз таки реставрация. 💪☺👌

[@stonecold4149]

Да тут скорее всего ошибка перевода и всё

[@davids6533]

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! : )

[@gBaldaconi]

That's a NICE backyard you got over there

[@SSmith-fm9kg]

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!

[@chrispza]

What a wonderful machine, and what a masterful resurrection. Superb!

[@MrCirclecityrabbit]

This machine is an absolute piece of mechanical art...the way it operates, the design is so simple but works perfectly...great job man!

[@diannetell6757]

J'ai une admiration profonde et respectueuse pour toutes les mains, particulièrement celles plaines de cambouis. Très belle restoration les bonhommes.

[@user-bs4mi1dl9x]

Дали вторую жизнь станку. Там, где нет электричества, станок всё равно будет работать. Из России с любовью.

[@Philipasu]

It did look nice at the end, but the kitty stole the show :D Restoration assistant meow asking for pets, that's adorable.

[@twin_o7m.730]

Filip Dinca it’s called “meow power!” 😂 🐈

[@artpatterson248]

Love your work, your restorations are some of the best!

[@basokvlad]

Beautiful! I would love to see another old industrial machine restorations!

[@janelloyd4332]

Fascinating to watch .. very nice addition to your workshop too..

[@xMrsmileyfacex]

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.

[@simongee8928]

As always, a real treat, with no music, just the natural sounds around. And of course, supervisor Avril in attendance - !

[@mariovergara727]

La perceuse a finit superbe! Des félicitations !

[@edirupatesi2815]

what a beauty. Excellent. A hug from Uruguay

[@IbragimMars]

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.

[@judsonross6995]

All I care about is that every one of your projects has been Avril approved. ☺️👍🏻

[@christopherknerr2851]

The entire set came out beautiful!

[@nineteenandfortyone]

Excellent job! That drill setup is as good as any new drill press.

[@mendoeta]

Amazing. That machine is perfect, no need electricity.

[@herveleny5220]

Magnifique travail. Je me régale à vous regarder remettre en état ces vieilles bécanes. Cordialement. Hervé

[@kjamison5951]

I’ll be honest, Avril brings me here. But what a great result! And that beach! Your video just passed ‘awesome’ heading for ‘Wow!’.

[@spanksir8900]

as always a great restoration of both the drill and the vise. I have not seen one like that. It is always good to see Avril and him making sure you do things to his satisfaction.

[@romeosierratango4464]

Great work as always. I am in love with ur cat. Very very cute

[@billquillin1952]

Fascinating!!!!! Awesome machine from a time gone by!!

[@jacquelerock6938]

What a beautiful restoration. Simply stunning. Both the vice and the drill press. It would be a pleasure to own a gorgeous old drill and vice like those. So glad they have been saved from the scrap heap. Love your work. Cheers from Niagara Falls, Canada.

[@be6388]

I love those old, but very functioning,independent, indestructible and reparable tools! best engeneer ever! Time will come, when electric energy will be rare...
