Hand Crank Grinder Tool Restoration

I found this hand crank grinder on ebay and thought it looked really unique I haven't seen and restoration videos of an open gear hand crank grinder like this one and thought it would be a good restoration project. This cast iron hand crank grinder had a lot of rust and caked on grease that required a lot of rust converting and degreasing to fully restore.

You need to film the sand blasting that's my favorite part

[@isbcornbinder]

I am old enough to remember when this sickle grinder was being sold in hardware stores. I have one from McCormick Deering, International Harvester.My grinder came with a cam and lever that drives the grind stone up and down to cover the "V" shapes of the sickle mower blade. The grinder I have is designed to be mounted on the mower and moved from blade to blade. They came with paint in the gear teeth. This was thought to be a kind of lubricant and may have been the only lube the tool ever got. Grease was a dirt attractant and formed a grinding compound. Cast iron is slightly self lubricating and does not need grease in this application. Some molly dry lube spray would be way more than adequate. You may be the first "restorer" with a glass bead blast cabinet. I have a MOD-U-BLAST cabinet and a 30 liter ultrasonic parts cleaner.

Not showing the media blasting should be a criminal offence

[@tiggerpooh2715]

Adam Walters he had to go get his dad because he’s not allowed .

[@MattMastracci]

Not showing the sandblasting.. that's just mean.

[@Mad9977]

hands in, hands out, finished... lol

[@manguako22c]

The restoration was perfect, just as a tip, you could clean the stripping stone with the sandbox and then pave it with a diamond brush, it is perfect.

[@ideoformsun5806]

I'm so impressed with tools. Is it strange to say I love seeing tools helping tools. And you are a skilled craftsman. Your lights are buzzing.

[@MrLTD1100]

A really nice renovation, well done. Looks good in the blue paint too. One suggestion for the grease, don't know if it would be suitable, Motorcycle spray chain grease. It certainly "sticks" to metal and doesn't fly off as you might imagine once thing start rotating !

[@royothebuzz]

But I like seeing the sandblasting.

[@AllBlacksRWC2011]

Damn right. I feel robbed, cheated, violated, raped..... I WANT THE SANDBLASTING!

[@vcgabreu]

Everyone does!

[@MindOmega07]

Yessss

[@RestorationAustralia]

why?

[@tiggerpooh2715]

His daddy comes home later and asks; “ anyone know what happened to the handle of my brand new DRAWKNIFE??!!!” This guy slinks outside to hide his new grinder thingy.

[@moMo-gi4bs]

Respect from Egypt man Keep up the good work

[@thiggy1249]

This type of grinder was used to sharpen the blades on old sickle mowers pulled by mules, horses and tractors

[@lutherhgrindstonemtn3456]

You are right there, I have used one of these many a year ago!

[@diyresttube]

that time when there is no power tools...love you restore this..add to your collection.

[@ronaldoteixeira6257]

Muito bom os vídeos...sempre assisto..parabens 👍👍.....

[@slykirbythe_last_elemental3813]

that grinder too is a scythe grinder used on a tractor. Hand Tool Rescue restored one on his channel.

[@benrobles752]

For a sickle bar mower?

[@corydriver7634]

Nicely done. Might have gotten a little carried away with the grease but nicely done just the same.

[@RestorationStation]

No such thing as too much lube... You're probably right, though. There was a lot of dried up (100?) year old dried-up grease packed into the gears that was a real pain to clean. I'll remove all of the bearing grease I used and make a post with pictures once I unlock the KZbin community tab feature.

[@jamesfield5346]

Do you prefer P.B. Blast over WD40? If so, does it work better or just a preference thing?

[@calebcordell4793]

It is for sharpening sickle bar mower blades. McCormick Derring made some of them

[@jeffceroll3095]

you are correct

[@joeleckbee]

How often do you change your blast media?

[@sbjennings99]

Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls

[@herbertbielefelder341]

Flawless job. Thank you for posting this video !

[@gwanelobo1498]

Great video, always nice to see items like this restored to working order!

[@thealicemonster9217]

PB Blaster ftw!!!

[@lostin_space]

i said the same thing

[@elfowl6873]

Good work!!!!

[@liongurly]

beautiful, absolutely beautiful.

[@andrzejporeda7281]

Super jest to odrestaurowane pozdrawiam serdecznie 👍👍👍👍

[@theropesofrenovation9352]

That handle came out super nice!

[@tommyhill199]

Is the drill press power attached to pull string? Like on a desk lamp.

[@samuelfellows6923]

Tommy Hill - quite unusual 🤨

[@RestorationStation]

It is exactly like that, but it has a metal rod instead of a string. Actually now that I think about it it's a bit different than a lamp. You pull down on the rod to turn it on and push up on the rod to turn is off. It's more like a regular light switch with an extension rod attached to it.

[@samuelfellows6923]

Restoration Station - for these, we (in UK) have an industrial type switch (large box with red and green button) and remote safety cutouts on parts of the machine and a emergency stop button, far more complex than a pull cord 😉

[@ricardogaraycochea1939]

Te felicito por el buen trabajo de restauración 🇵🇪

[@Sadboy-zv9sf]

Parabéns amigo por sua inteligência sou do Brasil

[@Sadboy-zv9sf]

Oi kkk tudo bem

[@mikeskelly2356]

We spread white grease on gears we didn't want to get paint on. Once dry, the paint and grease would just brush off...

[@RestorationStation]

Thanks! I've been thinking for a while about how I could mask off gear teeth. Had to settle for the method I used in this video. I'll try your method in my next video

[@notthisguyagain8557]

Yarg that not be rust, ‘tis mud.

[@_Blank___Space_]

Nice to know that others share my sentiment on the absent sand blasting process.

[@user-qn2ed5mf5i]

Открытые зубчатые передачи не смазывают. На масло налипает пыль, песок и прочее и они начинают работать как образив, что приводит к более быстрому износу мест зацепления. А так все супер!

[@user-nl3nv7rh7b]

Ольга , ты серьёзно думаешь, что он будет применять эту «приблуду» на практике ??? Почти все что нам показывают, это музейные экспонаты !!! Я бы ОЧЕНЬ огорчился если бы их применяли по назначению !!! Их место в Музеях старого быта и техники , а то все отправят на свалку или в переплавку ?!!

[@RestorationAustralia]

Great work well done.

[@imperialpresence3331]

you know...that would make a nice lamp

[@dawnbaker9274]

Where do you even buy a new stone for this? Nice job. Like the blue.

[@tonyscott395]

Nice job.

[@vincent7520]

I wanna see it in action !!!!…

[@canalrural9935]

Me too........

[@MidTheOne]

What do you use this machine for? I wanted to see that at the end but it wasn’t there. Can someone explain to me? Thanks!

[@jacksonfreaks.4767]

It’s called sandblasting.

[@Nepodvignost]

Не пойму, зачем предварительно мыть, потом покрывать смывкой для краски, а потом пескоструить? Почему нельзя сразу в пескоструйку? Для чего эти лишние операции?

[@user-sl3il5sz2s]

The stone was desirable to align. Too much grease on the gears. Well done job.

[@alvarocabreravillalon3363]

Great work!!

[@metroplexchl]

Why not reshape the stone? beautiful restore!

[@pointer7756]

Выбивание штифтов на весу - это эпик. Неужели тисков банальных нету?

why didn't you use your belt sander?

[@Sindibad_i83]

What kind of camera do you use ,bty nice video

[@ruben_labrax9924]

vaya chapuza de pintado xD. Por el resto de 10!

[@crazyivan030983]

Oh no, no, no. Industrial strenght dish detergent :) greetings from Poland :)

[@lyntoncox7880]

Interesting because looking at the space below the stone it wasn’t actually as ground down as one might think. Was this used for something in particular do you think? Most stone one sees are disc shaped whereas this was more drum or barrel-shaped.

[@perolovsin47]

Its made for grinding cutting teeth on reciprocating mowers on tractors.

[@aac9258]

Nice! I enjoyed watching this!

[@cmandrell]

i have one of these still works mine has both stones

[@forestfoodkitchen8319]

Navy blue 👍 , subscribed!

[@guillermocastro6650]

Para que sirve esta herramienta? cual es su utilidad?. saludos desde Santiago de Chile.-

[@brucemorris6319]

I have one like that but the grind stone is missing.

[@georgebrown8312]

Impressive restoration. You got it looking better and working like a charm as well. Great work.

[@danicao.6778]

You westerners really don't know what real restoration is! I am from Serbia 🇷🇸 and I see that is a bad job!!! I read comments the others and see only false praise. I don't understand why? If you already want to support him at least tell him the truth. It will be much more useful to him!!!🤔🙄😒 Harsh but honest!!!

[@chrisinelpaso]

I noticed you have some nice KNIPEX pliers!

[@zband9016]

Need a table attached to the one side to put the item being sharpened. Attach a motor to the other side to turn the handle. Then you could whittle an ax blade like a pencil.

[@josefranciscogalicia269]

Gracias, por tu amable respuesta...

[@GoodWithHands27]

would have sanded down the metal a bit before primer perhaps filled in those pits a bit. also is there any way to clean a stone?

[@orangmakan]

Ask Keith Rucker if he has lying around a new stone for that beast..

[@MusicFurler]

It could be resurfaced to keep the project original.

[@beechermudmowers5397]

I got this exact same one!

[@TheParkAttendant]

Good work straightening the crank handle. Next time, use a piece of leather, a folded up old rag or a thick piece of plastic, to keep from maring the metal.

[@debdottir]

Very nice.

[@danhard8440]

for the handle you should have gave it a quick sanding and then a acrylic acetate " super glue " bath then sand and polish

[@tusharsingha7118]

Nice, described well. thanks a lot.

[@lostin_space]

pb blaster for the win

[@m.o.pdrummer4074]

U try to make it better again,not to judge but u have to see "mymechanic" channel..he did anawesome job,everything was detail n much awesome finishing..

[@vcgabreu]

Mymechanics is the best!

[@morganduda3274]

The whole point to restoration is to use as many original parts as possible,

[@amaze421]

Welp there not enemies, there no like friends

[@NolaGal2601]

Can the stone be cleaned? Was it?

[@latessaallison1228]

Show more sandblasting please that’s the best part

[@Multantechinfo]

good job

[@ekrestoration]

so nice, good job

[@lazyman2473]

what kind of grease did you use

[@diarbakr4195]

Good man 👍

[@paulorth2251]

Not showing the sand blasting is okay with me, thanks for that. But as well as you did, are there missing pieces to this tool, or are those spots for additional options? Nicely done,sir.

[@Joannesyoga]

Very nice

[@frogjunk]

Lol but now your drawknife has no handle

[@TheVintageEngineer]

That a pre-1952 Craftsman 100 drill press?

[@RestorationStation]

Not sure what year but it's a craftsman with vari-slo speed control pulleys

[@TheVintageEngineer]

Restoration Station it looks like you have the chuck where the collar is separate from the chuck. In 52 it was modified to have a snap ring that keeps the collar attached to the chuck, chuck can’t get knocked off. If the motor is a factory craftsman or Dunlap motor then it will have a date code on it like C3 49 for March 3rd week 1949. I’ve got a 2 handle 80 model benchtop from 1947 and a 1956 floor model 100. On my Instagram: sheltonfilms

[@RestorationStation]

@@TheVintageEngineer craftsman motor date code: j1 47

[@TheVintageEngineer]

Restoration Station so yeah you got a 1947 (assuming original motor) which I believe was the first year of these.

[@saurongandalf1511]

great work my friend one big like

[@PremiumHouseSverige]

Why paint remover before blasting?

[@jccurtis9431]

I have to agree. get a camera for the sand blasting. many of the restoration videos I watch, the sand blasting is one of the best parts to watch of the restoration. just an idea if you want more views and subscribers.

[@user-dx6pt9oo6h]

Very good restoration bro 👍👍👍👍👍

[@Cormyrtha]

Con el mango de madera lo que has hecho ha sido desvestir un santo para vestir a otro, xD.

[@moff3tt]

It looks like you didn't grease the shaft before putting it in. Shouldn't that have some grease considering there are no bearings or bushings?

[@Spectrythium]

this is like asmr

[@ednasanchez7559]

What's the use for this tool?. I have no idea. Sorry. Like the restoration

[@jefftaylor7511]

Perhaps some of grease should have gone on the shaft where it goes through the housing???

[@wisdomckr]

You can use vinegar to soak off rust & grease.

[@francessmith286]

Pra que serve isto?
