Restoration of a Antique Mohawk-Shelburne Hand Drill

[@marcmckenzie5110]

Mr. Scout Crafter, you definitely put us through the drill! I loved this project. I used one of these with an older mentor neighbor while in elementary school. I’ve thought about finding one of these to teach my grandchildren about how much the world has changed in such a small amount of time, and that ingenuity is the real lever to reduce work and make new things possible. To some it is a silly looking tool (a la egg beater), but truly an elegant tool for the time. Thanks for these videos - I can feel my blood pressure drop and relaxation flow as I watch these!

[@rollingstone3017]

Very nice restoration. I appreciate guys like you keeping the old tools alive.

[@davidharris6581]

Really great idea with the wood clamp. I love learning new things.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello David! Awesome!!! That little trick saved my a$$ many a time!! Lol Thanks so much!!!!!

[@theajthomas]

I got into restoring tools as a hobby couple years ago after seeing a few different guys on here doing it. Since I found your channel a few months ago you have become my hands down favourite tool restorer on KZbin. I love watching the process, seeing the results, and learning all kinds of great tips and tricks along the way. Thanks.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello AJ! Thankyou so much!!! I really appreciate that!!! I hope I can pass on some good tips and better yet help you learn from my mistakes!!! LOL Thanks again!!!

[@astroflight6571]

ScoutCrafter - The best channels are those like yours where mistakes are occasionally made and we all learn from them. On too many channels the uploaders edit out the errors, present themselves as having done a perfect job the first time. You always find the solution, sometimes after trial and error, and that is what makes you a master craftsman in my opinion; you just work it out. Always learning... thank you.

[@ScoutCrafter]

I have mastered one thing... Mistakes!!!!! LOL Thanks!!!!!!!!

[@tonylenge424]

AJ, as Scoutcrafter would say “ you are so right”. I have also been a subscriber for the past three months and I agree with you 100%

[@XaltLures]

Impeccable restoration. Make US of A vintage tools great again! 🇺🇸

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Crippleman!!!! Thanks so much!!! These are always nice for show and tell!! =)

[@neverbuyadodge910]

I had a summer heat wave that rusted all of my tools in my shed i did not notice till it had destroyed everything . After watching your vids i restored everything . Even an old vice that was nothing but a frozen pile of rust . You have saved all of my tools . I love watching your vids .

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Willie!!! Best story yet!!! That is awesome!!! Steel is hard to keep rust free outside but with a little work we can conquer the rust!!! Thanks so much!!! 😃👍

[@JimmysTheBestCop]

Can't get enough. Addicted. +1 for 15 minute videos!!!!!! They are so great. I can't get enough

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello JimmysTheBestCop! I am so happy to hear that!!! Thank you!!!!!

[@JimmysTheBestCop]

Have you ever did any kitchen or pocket knife restore jobs? Be interesting to see your take if you ever run out of old tools lol

[@mrbenmall]

Fantastic. Even the sound of the mechanism when you were spinning it... like butter! Great vid.

[@seanpatterson1062]

I've cleaned up plenty of these, and I still learned a lot of new things in this video. Thanks for sharing.

[@birdie399]

Fantastic result. Great to see a demo of the drill in use.

[@mantaship]

I am literally restoring an old Craftsman egg beater and had the same frozen issue. I could have walked away at 1:57 with all I needed to know. Wonderful.

[@QueenMary79]

Thanks for the good memories of playing with one of those when I was 4 years old. I didn't know what it was but it was fun. Great work. I like that you were able to keep the red dye.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Mary! I think we all used to love playing with them as kids!!! It was a tool that we really couldn't hurt ourselves with! Lol. The only difference is I still like playing with them!!! I think I like toys just as much now as when I was a child! 😃. Thanks very much Mary!!!!

[@kfl611]

I was wondering if you would relubricate it with oil or grease, and you answered my question. Then I wondered if you should use pliers to free up the chuck, and you answered the question for me on that also. I have a hand drill that was frozen, but a few drops of dripless oil and I was able to free it up with pliers, but didn't do any damage to the machining on the chuck. These drills are built to last a few life times, unlike modern tools. Thank you for making this video.

[@jasonhall1999]

I am always amazed at your ability to save the tools in your videos. And your tips are ingenious!

[@stevef8993]

Wonderful transformation!! I especially liked the way you used the tin strip to protect the wood and the method to grip onto the threads. Those are very smart tips.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Steve! I'm so glad you enjoy the little tips because I really think it can help people that never did this before!!!! Thanks so much!!!!!

[@stevef8993]

I actually picked up two hand drills recently and one of the chucks is frozen. Thanks to you, I now know a great method to free it up. Thank you for sharing your skills👍👏

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Steve! That was a common problem! Remember no matter what don't screw up the knurling!!! LOL Thanks!!!!

[@stevef8993]

Hi ScoutCrafter. I tried your method tonight and it worked like a charm. Knurling intact! Now I have to figure how to get the tapered end of the chuck unscrewed from the rest of the barrel. Not much of a cylinder to grab onto. Thanks again!😀👍

[@darrinlawton2748]

Thanks for the wood clamp tip.I'll be keeping that filed away for future use....cheers.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Darrin!!! Yes! The knurling is very fragile and damages easily! Thanks so much!!!!!!

[@zakartv]

Amazing what you do. Especially explaining how much the item cost. Please don’t ever stop.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Muenster Cheez! The funny thing is the drill cost $2 but there was $40 labor... Lol! You have to enjoy it because if you think of doing this for a living or profit it gets difficult! 😃. Thanks so much!!!!

[@glenndykes7732]

Nice I love these old drills thanks for sharing 👍

[@philippedavid6407]

Lots of useful clever tips as usual. You certainly brought it back to (better than) original condition. And to crown it all you are a historian of tools. Congratulations from France.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello David!! Thanks so much my friend! This one wasn't too bad to start but always fun to see it back in service! Thanks again!!!!!

[@willwyatt7023]

Gorgeous, brings tears to my eyes, looks like you'd just picked it off of the shelf in a hardware store in 1925.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Will! Imagine being able to go back in time and walking into a hardware store!!! Wow! We would be in our GLORY!!! Look up "Harry J Epstein Co." It is an old hardware store that still has tons of NOS tools and supplies!!! Really cool!!! Thanks!!!

[@matthewcarwile9235]

Thank you for the useful tricks. I've never heard of the soda can trick.

[@norherman]

Like magic, brand new. Really nice. Thanks again supper stuff. The wood ready pops!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello norherman! Finally a project that "required" Red!!! Lol. Can't blame me for this one!!! 😃👍. Thanks!!!!

[@gregbanach4957]

Great Video as usual. The aluminum can protection strip application is perfect. I've had multiple tape failures when wire brushing, damaging plastic, rubber, and wood surfaces. Super tip ScoutCrafter, thank you.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Greg!! Me too!!! I wound up wrapping a few layers of tape but still it can't take the abrasion! The aluminum can works quite well! Thanks so much!!! 😃👍

[@jomercer21113]

I love the non-marring clamp technique!

[@not2fast4u2c]

so nice and shiny and the paint makes it look great ..Thanks for the tip on using the piece of wood to hold parts

[@bobthelanternguy8640]

ScoutCrafter wow a flash back from childhood. idk if my Dad or Grandfather had 1 i do remember seeing in person and wondered how they used this all day long. thank you sir... Bobby

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hey Bobby! That was our favorite "toy" when we were kids!! We all loved to play with it!! Lol. Thanks so much!!! 😃👍

[@Sir_Leelord]

u should open up a vintage tool museum. u have such an amazing collection

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Lee! They are a lot of fun to fool around with! I'm so glad other are starting to restore tools too! Thanks so much!!!

[@SDodge]

I live in Western Massachusetts and my Grandfather worked at Millers Falls Tool (which I believe made the Mohawk Shelburne line) for many many years. It's almost weird to see these tools as if they are new again but very cool! The old Factory is still there, a hollow shell of it's former life. Keep up the great work and great videos!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Wow! I bet your Grandfather had a ton of great stories! Millers Falls was one of the premier producers of tools and tooling for many years! Their quality and design were second to none! If I could only collect one tool manufacturer's products it would be Millers Falls!!!!! Great stuff! Thanks so much!!!!!!!!

[@SDodge]

Oh he had stories alright. The area is pretty saturated with Millers Falls, GTD, and Starrett Tools at local garage sales and flea markets for cheap. Everyone's father and grandfather worked in those factories and their tools are still around, even I have a few old sets and boxes myself. If there is something specific that you are looking for I bet I can stumble across it, not that it looks like you need tool hunters.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello S Dodge - I truly love stories like that! My buddy lived on Long Island in the late 60's, he used to go thru the dumpster at the Aurora company! They made Slot cars and all types of cool models... He used to get lots of useable stuff!!! 😃👍

[@patrickrainville451]

I just picked up one of these for $1 I can’t wait to refinish it.

[@theswime945]

Fab win already @1'50". Going to watch the rest! Cheers.

[@johnnyhopz]

Nice restoration, John, as usual. You always do a great job of explaining things and giving good tips..

[@357magdad]

Nice how you were able to preserve the original stain on the handle. Your project came out really nice!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello 357magdad! The stripper will tend to loosen a layer at a time, so when you apply it you don't let it sit too long and remove it, it will leave the top coat, which in this case was clear, rubbery- then just scrape it off with a razor blade the stain has penetrated into the wood so if you are careful you can just get off the top coat! Stripper and a razor blade work great!!! Thanks!!!

[@357magdad]

I have a Thor Hand Drill - doesn't look like the same quality as this Mohawk-Shelburne, but it has two pinion gears and an extra knob on the side - I'm guessing you would put the handle to your chest and right hand on the knob while drilling? Anyway, it is in the queue for restoration - and it looks like I'm going to get to use some red paint!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Yes! The breast plate was very useful for additional pressure! All the hand drills took quite a while to master, that's why sharp drill bits were a must! Now with power drills you can bore with anything!!! =)

[@markharris5771]

This is the first video I've seen of yours, but it won’t be the last. Absolutely packed with great tips, which I will hopefully remember for the future. I found a "as new" Stanley 803 for £4 recently and I’m shocked myself just how often I use it in preference to any of my electric drills. Thank you for uploading this.

[@trapjeff5739]

I like the videos but when you make them longer with all the details in then, those are my favorites.

[@felixf5211]

Geezz, I love the wooden makeshift clamp idea! Very clever.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Felix! I screwed up so many knurls before I figured that one out!!! Nothing worse then a mangled up knurl!!! Lol. Thanks Felix!!!

[@ronsbeerreviewstools4361]

You did a very good job restoring that hand drill. This is a also a very informative tool video.

[@geomiss8889]

Nothing like the old egg beaters for small drill bits..The hand feel thats missing on electric drills leads to the snapping of fine drill bits...For any small work it's a must have.

[@michaelcoceski5442]

At last a tool I've seen...almost...I have a Stanley version. Great restore again Scout.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Michael! Lol! They don't have to be rare or unusual to have fun! I know it seems like I only have wired tools here! 😂. Thanks so much!!! 😃👍

[@michaelcoceski5442]

I don't think of them as weird ...it's just that you have a large range of tools in the US. that did not make it to our shores especially from the first half of the 20th century. btw.. Respect to you for being a courteous gentleman.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Thanks Michael!!!!

[@lwoodt1]

Another, better than new resto. Great job.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Iwood1- I'm so glad it was RED to begin with! LOL Thanks so much!!!!!

[@waltlars3687]

ScoutCrafter taping off the gear on ring must have taken a long time

[@ScoutCrafter]

Yes, you're so right! I hate taping!!! Lol!!!

[@uktony1525]

An ugly duckling turned into a beautiful swan. I was drooling at the end of the video as the drill looked so good. Just picked up a carpenters tool chest with tools for £12 at the car boot sale. The guy that had it painted it bright pink and I bet he got some comments on site but no-one was ever going to steal it!. I am looking to restore the chest and put original vintage tools in there, my only thought is whether to keep it pink or my preferred colour of British Racing Green (I think you would call it Hunter green or dark Brunswick green). Take care and as always, a HUGE thumbs up.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Tony! You know I love Hunter Green!!!! (and Red too if you didn't know) I did like the pink on Lady Penelope's Car! ;) Thanks Tony!!! And yes! I've seen all the Thunderbirds!!!

[@uktony1525]

I happen to live only about 8 miles from where Gerry and Sylvia Anderson made the original series of Thunderbirds. They made it in a shed, ha ha.

[@TakeAmericaBack2010]

Always better than expected

[@Anonymous-it5jw]

The wood clamp tip is great; a great project as always. Could you show us a little more of the painting and handle finishing parts of these projects. Thanks again for another winner!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Anonymous! Absolutely! There was a lot of questions on that part!!! Will do my friend!! Thanks very much!!!

[@WaterNai]

So many helpful tips you crammed into a short video!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Thanks so much!

[@uncleblack7946]

Love that expensive vise clamp....ingenious..learn something everyday..thank You

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Blackie! There has to be some use for all those scraps we have laying around the shop that we can't bring ourselves to toss!! LOL Thanks so much!!!!

[@baggins1]

Nice! Wood clamp tip is the why didn't I think of that deal.

[@ScoutCrafter]

You know the Knurling damages so easily! Once it's screwed up it looks horrible! This little trick really works well!!! Thanks so much!!!!

[@johnkelley9877]

I always liked the egg beater hand drills so this is my favorite tutorial. It looks fantastic! You have restored not only a tool but a small piece of history. I learned a lot from this video.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello John ! Thanks so much!! These little drills are always lots of fun to fool around with!!! 😃👍

[@mick4790]

Really cleaned up nice better than new, nice job!

[@carlosrivas5522]

So nice to see your KZbin channel finally taking off! Well-deserved! amazing job on this piece.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Carlos!!! I am so glad people are interested in these simple tools!!!! Thanks so much!!!!!!

[@carlosrivas5522]

Not only the tools, but your process also! The restorations are great!

[@frankg3072]

That was an amazing restoration. Who would have thought to use scrap wood as a clamp. You’re like the MacGyver of tools! And guess what I’m proud of my New Yawk accent I hope you are also. Great job!

[@ScoutCrafter]

H Frank!!! You know for many years I was embarrassed about my accent... As you know Frank our area of Queens had a very "unique" accent! LOL However once I hit 50 I guess I came to grips with who I am... Limited education, Blue Collar, son of a truck driver... We're in a good place! I wouldn't go do it over any different if I could. =)

[@daveogarf]

BRILLIANT, and gorgeous results!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Thanks so much! I really appreciate that!!!!!

[@charlesdrennan4904]

Awesome video. I just subscribed last week. I just started on a Millers Falls number 2 yesterday. The lower gear was frozen. It took an all day soak in atf/acetone plus gently clamping the gear in the vise between blocks. A good twist freed it up. I hope it cleans up as good as yours. Looking forward to more videos.

[@bigdog4173]

Very nice restoration..have had some experience with restoring similar design tools myself,both were Stanley ones..First one was on a boat,and it was jammed up with rust and gunk,so I removed the two wooden handles and soaked it in a bucket of kerosene for several days before stripping it down cleaning and reassembling it in a similar way to what you did,and repainting it,remember the main gear wheel was scarlet..The second one was dropped of a roof,and needed rebuilding with spare parts,which you could get in those days..the main gear wheel was actually broken..made of a cheap cast steel,as were the two small gears..remember thinking at the time,why do I bother? As cost of new parts started to make the operation unviable..but then I was already too far in..It also had a scarlet wheel.. both had plum coloured wooden handles,Stanley signature colour..Dont know what happened to them over the years,dont have them now..anyway nice little effort on your part,now you have a new exhibit for your collection..maybe you should do a museum tour video..regards Bob

[@Absaalookemensch]

Beautiful. Better than new.

[@stevewalker7822]

What a piece of art!

[@marshville01]

Have enjoyed watching the last several months. You have inspired me to start restoring tools I have collected. You do a first class job. Keep it up.

[@ScoutCrafter]

I am so happy to hear that you are enjoying this great hobby!!!! It really is so satisfying!!! Thanks so much!!!!!!!!

[@poorcousinsdiy5672]

Loving this restoration! I have three eggbeater drills that are a bit younger than that one, but i'd love to get one of these old ones with a curvy spoked wheel (don't know the terminology) like that one. I use my favorite eggbeater all the time, often i choose it over the cordless electric for precision work as it's never going to get away from you. And if i need to pre-drill a single hole, like to hang a photo on the wall, it's my go-to because i don't have to worry about charging it. It's funny, a guy i work with a few years back asked if i had a cordless drill he could borrow, so i brought in my egg beater. He wouldn't use it, he looked at me like i was from outer space, and wouldn't use it. He had to drill 8 little 1/8 inch thick holes through soft pine, I didn't have a power drill at the time, but today i wouldn't bother pulling it out to charge for even that many holes in pine as i've gotten so used to the egg beater. A sharp bit and physics, they really work well together. Now i have to search back through your vids to see if you've done antique saw restorations. I've got a few hand saws that have rust, but i want to try to save the lettering on them, so wire wheel would be a bit harsh.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Poor Cousin's DIY! You are so right!!! I hate battery ANYTHING!! Planned obsolescence at it's best!! As for the saw! I have done a couple but not on video, I will soon! The best way is to use a chemical rust remover, that will make the rust easier to remove then you can address the pits!! The writing is so nice on them you don't want to lose it!! Thanks so much!!! 😃👍

[@willwyatt7023]

Check out Paul Seller's channel for how to take care of saws. kzbin.infosearch?query=saw

[@ScoutCrafter]

Seller's is great! What a class act!!!!

[@poorcousinsdiy5672]

Yeah, I love watching Sellers too. I do have an old sawset so i can adjust the kerf on the blade and i have watched Sellers videos on sharpening and setting the kerf and as Will suggests, they're a great resource. I just looked through that list and i don't see anything for bringing back an old neglected hand saw, so i'll be waiting for the ScoutCrafter video with anticipation! Maybe someday i'll even get around to making my own videos . ... maybe

[@willwyatt7023]

Nah, remember, Scout uses old hand saws to clean off his buffing wheels. And he'd probably paint the damned thing red anyway. ;-)

[@francispotter5300]

Another beautiful tool ( Doug in GA) thanks for the video 🐈

[@tonyholt90]

Nice job, it now looks like you just niped into the shop and brought a new one!!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Tony! These older castings were made so well that they clean up really nice! A joy to work on!!! Thanks!!!!

[@paulgarcia3524]

I wish I had your experience. Great video...and the old bottle of Locktite, very cool.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Paul! Lol on the old bottle of locktite! I remember buying that! The best thing is it still works! What other product doesn't dry out after 20 years?!? Good stuff! Thanks so much!!! 😃👍

[@aceroadholder2185]

I have this exact hand drill that I have used for years. Where it excels is drilling small holes in plastic components in automobiles and motorcycles (e.g. 1/16" dia. drain holes in plastic head lamp covers that have had water leak into them). A delicate touch is sometimes needed and the hand drill can often be gotten into places that a corded/battery pistol drill won't. You've made me feel bad though...to save face I guess I'll have to clean mine up and repaint it. Sometimes you just have to keep up with the Joneses and the ScoutCrafters.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Aceroadholder!!! Not at all!!! As long as the drill is not rusty and oiled so it doesn't squeak, you are golden!!! I love tools that are "Used" all the time and are worn but not rusty! I always liked that look!!!!! Thanks so much!!!!!!!!

[@sosrob8085]

HAHA the restoration bug has bit yet another thanks to SC!! You my friend are not alone

[@jmonte2811]

As always very instructive and awesome lessons along the way. Keep them coming sir!! - THANKS

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello J Monte!!!! Thanks very much!!!!!! I really appreciate that!!!!!

[@GuntersGarage]

Wow, beautiful piece!

Thank you for sharing your tips on how to clamp the parts without marking them. A very good restoration. You only paid the $2 because it had a red gear wheel.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Tony!!! You are right!!! This time I could paint it Red and it's not my fault!! LOL Thanks so much!!!!!

[@AaronBelknap]

Brilliant to use wood to remove parts. I think oak is used for removal of barrels from actions. That old hand drill was saved. In the event of an EMP, you have a drill still!! Nice job.

[@JourneymanRandy]

That was a bargain. Great tool

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello LJ! Yes! $2 for the drill and $40 labor! LOL Thanks very much!!!!!

[@signalpops]

Scout, beautiful work. Again, it looks brand new. Great tip with the wooden clamp technique. You work wonders!!!!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Pops!!! I'm so glad you enjoyed the project!!!! That wooden "clamp" saved me more then once!!! =) Thanks very much!!!

[@Brian-Burke]

Ninety seconds in and your wood clamp mod is genius!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Brian!!!! Those knurlings are so fragile! Any wrench at all will damage the surface! This is a great way for us to use all those scraps we accumulate!!!! LOL Thanks so much!!!!!

[@Brian-Burke]

I have an idea I'd like your opinion on. I have one of those Park/Parker? screwdrivers with the wood inserts on the handle. The wood is really chewed up with very deep gouges. I was thinking I could mix up some two-part epoxy with a little colored dye powder, and fill the voids. Then I could finish it to a shine. What do you think? I'm a beginner and I've never worked with epoxy, but I really want to, and it's not like this tool is valuable.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Yes!!! Brian- Epoxy is great!!! You can also take small pieces of wood and glue them into the voids! You can always sand it down!!! You would be shocked at how you can fix big problems with glue or epoxy! Another great tip is mixing sawdust with yellow glue and filling voids! =)

[@Brian-Burke]

Thank you!

[@frick566]

Hello Reynaldo! Thanks so much! These are great little drills!!! 😃👍

[@reynaldovalle1773]

ScoutCrafter I have one but not like yours but it still works ☺ I'm thinking of doing the same thing you did 👍

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Reynaldo! You definitely should! Even if you don't fully restore it a good clean-up always makes them work great!!! 😃👍

[@easttexasnomad5981]

Best $2 you ever spent. Looks great with the original stain.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello East Texas!! Thanks so much!!!!! $2 for the drill and $40 labor! LOL

[@PapiDoesIt]

How much would it sell for now that it's reborn? I have one in the basement. Just curious, it was grandpa's and I'd never sell it.

[@ScoutCrafter]

It's funny but I never sell anything... I've given a lot of stuff away, especially to Scouts, but I just always felt strange about selling! I don't know why! =)

[@cboutdoors9120]

well thanks a lot.... now I need an egg beater drill! Very nice restoration and I'm looking forward to getting one myself!

[@ScoutCrafter]

These are so available! You can get a really nice one for such little money! Hold out for a nice one! Thanks!!!!!!!!!

[@davidk6271]

[@christinaperez254]

Beautifully done. I have three or four antique hand brace drills with the hardwood handles. They need some attention. I'd love to see you restore one! Thanks for the videos.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Christina! They make great restoration projects!!! Easy and fun!!! Thanks so much!!!!!!

[@joeheilm]

That is a great tip about drilling the wood out and splitting it; I learn something new every video :). Great restoration!!! Those wood handles really came out nice. Cheers, Joe

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Joe!!! That little wood tip saved my A$$ on more then one occasion!! Lol. A reason to use the two thousand pieces of scrap wood I can't convince myself to throw away!!! Lol. Thanks!!!! 😃👍

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello DCPorter71! Thanks so much!!! Glad you enjoyed it!!! 😃👍

[@calebrace5032]

This is so funny I just whatched this video last night and today I went to my local flea market and found the exact same drill. So I had to buy it ajdnnow it is in pieces being restored. Your videos are awesome keep it up!

[@ScoutCrafter]

That is awesome!!!!!! These clean up really nice!!! Be careful not to mangle the Knurling!!!! LOL Thanks so much!!!!!!!!

[@calebrace5032]

ScoutCrafter you mean the nurling connecting the big gear to the main shaft?? Because I did mess it up and it slips now

[@Santiago-iv7oi]

Wow.. that came out nice...

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Santiago! Thanks so much my friend!!! 😃👍

[@upsidedowndog1256]

I always wanted one of these but they were always too high. Yours turned out great. No doubt the red was the reason you chose this one!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello UD! LOL You're right this time I didn't need to add any Red on my own!!!! =D Thanks so much!!!!

[@literoadie3502]

Great job!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Lite Roadie! Finally a tool I can paint Red and it's not my fault!!!! LOL Thanks so much!!!!!!

[@jusb1066]

great save on the handle, really makes it nice to me, leave a countersink in it, then it will get used

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Jusb! You know I restored the countersink and sharpened it but it's a single flute arrangement and they work best in power applications, I would like a nice multi-flute bit for this hand drill!!! Thanks so much!!! 😃👍

[@jusb1066]

yes you do get tools with things thrown together, i think my stanley hand drill had a brace screwdriver bit shoved in it! who knows who thought that would work!

[@ScoutCrafter]

LOL You would have to be superman!!! =D

[@retrogamepuppy1445]

Awesome video. I have the exact same one and needed a video on how to restore mine back to New condition

[@ScoutCrafter]

These were always fun to fool with and just a classic vintage tool! Thanks!!!!!!

I am old enough to remember using one of these, I can't remember the last time I've seen one though, I still have a bit & brace, I like to use when I get the chance.
