Rusty and Broken Bench Grinder - Restoration

In this video i'm restoring a rusty and broken bench grinder.
A few weeks ago i was to flea market and after few minutes in rain and bad weather i found this cool benck grinder, was all wet and dirty.
Right away i knew that i can make a nice restoration video for you.
This rusty bench grinder costed me 15 Euro($17), and the seller warned me that it does not work because it was in the rain.
This is the reason why i didn't test it before cleaning.
When i checked inside i discovered that the capacitor was exploded and both bearings were worn.
For the painting i choose to make it yellow with polished parts.
on some parts i decide to protect them with bluing metode.
This Restoration took me 5 days to complete.
I like so much this bench grinder and will be next to my other bench grinder for display on my shelf.
I hope you like my work and my video.

[@anthonyladuca8165]

are u getting new plosh wax soon

[@mymechanics]

Beautiful job as always Tysy. I love the big polished parts with the yellow and black details, it's looking perfectly.

[@TysyTube]

Thank you so much 😊

[@Toby-fp1nf]

Wow, man! An attaboy from the Grandmaster! You really deserved it, Tysy! Great job!!!

[@depeltenburg6916]

Wow a @mymechanics thumbs up... you are acknowledged by the master himself... and deserved!

[@badlarry172]

yeh got to agree if this fella is impressed..... well must be a good job

[@mantaship]

I was going to say that, but worse and My Mechanics took my comments and made a new one... Love the polished metal. The yellow pops. It's a gorgeous tool now. Too pretty NOT to use...

[@johnwolfenden7599]

Can't wait to see "Restoration but only using tools I've previously restored"

[@kotofarek88]

I hope to see it as much as I hoped for the test ride after moped restoration

[@kimberlya7564]

YES!

[@theforcentral8916]

He actually used the German sharpener that was restored

[@MMitchellMarmel]

Not to be nitpicky. but you have the armature in backwards. The anti-clockwise nut should be on the left. As it is, the grinding wheels will loosen with use, creating a hazardous situation...

[@TysyTube]

thank you 😊, i will change it

[@kenzpenz]

NITPICKY ? I didn't even notice, but will in the future, good eye M. Mitchell , now I have to go back and see what the heck you are talking about :-) .

[@MMitchellMarmel]

@@kenzpenz Basically, the grinding wheels rotate such that the wheels grind downwards at the front of the grinder. So, when you face the lefthand wheel, it turns clockwise. A clockwise-tightening nut will eventually work loose, potentially permitting the wheel to fall off while the grinder is in operation. Thus, an anti-clockwise-tightening nut is needed on the left.

[@WARLOK813]

I was hoping someone else noticed that. I switched devices just to let him know. Beautiful restoration though.

[@estbeta]

You have an eagle eye for details. I didn’t notice that at all

[@NarTac13]

I love watching blueing, it’s like magic

[@1100mrjohnson]

Your shop must look amazing with all of the tools you've restored, you should show us what it looks like!

[@Flecha57]

Check the photos on his Instagram account. Cheers!

[@alantebiyev8401]

Great job, like every time. But be kind, dont put the finished restauration photo in preview - there's no more "wow" at the end

[@EyecantspelWell]

It stands out in a sea of content because of the "after" pictures. I do agree somewhat but he has to look out for his business as well.

[@4speed3pedals]

I noticed something. The armature shaft was installed backwards. The left hand thread should be on the left side so it tightens against shaft rotation preventing the grinding wheel from becoming loose while in opearation. Look at the video during disassembly. The grinding stones need truing for smooth grinding and to eliminate vibration. Beautiful restoration otherwise. Thanks for posting.

[@balthizarlucienclan]

When you showed the pile of unsorted parts my OCD almost had a heart attack! I am so glad that you decided to sort all those before starting cleaning

[@anthonyladuca8165]

I have OCD too

[@braydenthompson8240]

OCD gang

[@MatthiasWiesmann]

The power cable within the device had a ground that you screwed to the metal body, yet it has a two prong power connector?

[@isdos]

Yea it's a major safety issue. If live wire breaks loose inside the housing and touches the grinder body, it will be mains voltage on the body without anyone noticing. That grinder needs a plug with protective earth connection.

[@videogalory]

Also to note, The earth should be terminated in a ring crimp with a shake proof washer, not that it matters with that supply cable.

[@oscarius44400]

Travail très soigné comme toujours, je suis un grand fan. Toutefois, moi aussi je m’interroge : comment ce fait-il qu’un cordon d’alimentation avec une prise phase/neutre propose une câble « terre » à connecter au corps de l’outil ? (c’est bien la preuve qu’on est attentif à toutes les étapes de la restauration ;-) ) Bon travail, continuez comme çà !!

[@isdos]

@Rebster Practically any country has some kind of a protective earth connection. Based on google, if you want PE on France, you need to use Type E connector, which has hole for PE and the wall outlet has probe. Some countries in Europe use Type F connector which has those sliding contacts. Sometimes same plug can be used in both countries and more modern plugs are CEE 7/7 type plug. In current configuration, that bench grinder is a risk to it's user unless used in a wall outlet protected with RCD.

[@jd3497]

Typical of far east junk. Cut ever corner you can.

[@krisdelaurier1343]

usually wet sanding is my favorite part, but today it was bluing. Love the clear bottom!

[@sabrina_sp]

To remove the scratches from the plexy glass first sand it through the different grits and then polish.

[@milender]

NO matter how many times I see it the "blue-ing" always amazes me, Beautiful work as always.

[@latessaallison1228]

Awesome job as always! I love the clear bottom detail. Gives it a little extra cool effect. My 8 year old son an I look forward to your videos. He won’t watch anyone else, he says your the best.

[@Snoochie2daNooch]

I suffer from PTSD. Your videos are relaxing enough to help me sleep. They aren’t boring. Just serene

[@jbthefirst960]

The clear bottom was a great idea

[@milanfanas]

Using a grinder to restore a grinder, classy inception 😮

[@HammyTechnoid]

The clear bottom is a very nice touch... easy visibility if trouble arises.. like blown capacitor or switch smokes.

[@soo43854]

Rhâaaa ! Je suis jaloux de ton savoir faire ! C'est pas des machines que tu nous présente mais des œuvres d'art. Quel patience ! Jaloux, Jaloux, jaloux je suis.

[@RemiDupont]

Love the plexy underneath, the color chosen and the chrome mirror and black finish.

[@tylerporter8012]

Your videos are getting much better. I love the way you laid out the parts at the end of disassembly, very visually pleasing

[@warbirdwf]

I enjoy your restorations Tysy. A couple of friendly ideas? Use the correct size flat tip screwdriver when removing screws. I restore VW parts and always have to deal with damaged screw slots from someone using the wrong size screw driver. The other suggestion for you would be to have a plating station where you can bright zinc the screws, hardware, brackets, etc. They have different chromates you dip the freshly zinced parts into that change the color to black, yellow, etc. This provides superior protection over bluing the parts which is only really cosmetic vs. long term corrosion protection. Keep up the good work!

[@chassegallerie2910]

Pretty good. If you want to remove the deepest scratches on the plexiglasse, you need to sand them away. You start with the roughest grit, then take a less rough one, and another less rougher one. It will leave them opaque, but then, you polish it back to clear.

[@reconphil]

I think the clear bottom looks better and you are correct, it allows visual inspection of the electrics.

[@austinhughes6852]

I like the fact that you are restoring something that you can use to help restore another tool.

[@user-gl6yr7ni6t]

Я случайно попал на ваш канал и был в восторге от вашей работы и вашего отношения к старинным вещам. Ваша культура работы и терпение меня просто поражает. Вы мастер высшего класса. Жму вам руку. Спасибо за видео . Побольше бы таких интересных видеороликов. Ещё раз спасибо.

[@TheNigaHigaFan4Ever]

You used those handy cable fasteners to connect the capcitor wiring but you are supposed tho heat them up afterwards cause it is heatshrink

[@schristy3637]

LOVE(!!!!) the clear bottom and the Yellow, Chrome,and Black..... ROCKS!!!!!!. Have been buzzy and have not had time to watch your show. Always great shows.

[@willamsbatistadevasconcelo5533]

Cara ficou magnífico. Você merece mais do que um dez (10). Merece muito mais... Excelente

[@mikeoxmall6442]

3 things I love the most about watching u wrk: 1: The sandblasting of course 2: The finished product 3: When u disassemble everything and have all neatly on yur table! Keep up the good wrk I will watch u for as long as u have a channel

[@douglasfernardoalejorge9086]

What a work of genius, it was too beautiful a work of art worth gold, what a show of creativity managed to restore and make it more beautiful than it was when it was new, my congratulations

[@AcidButton]

Tysy! Love your attention to details, your respect for old good tools! Keep restoring the history, your channel is one of those who really makes genuine restoration.

[@craigmccuistion4896]

Really impressive. You’re the first craftsman I’ve seen who polished parts rather than paint or powder coat. That was a genius choice! Thanks!

[@Bladewalker1]

I like the clear plastic showing the wireing in that area.

[@dirkpauwels580]

Did you noticed the ground that he conected but at the plug didnt had a condition for it?

[@barthanes1]

Alright! You finally got a bench grinder with a capacitor so you don't have to start it with your finger. The acrylic window in the bottom is a great idea.

[@gargaj]

From 9:19 it looks like he either replaced his old grinder or recapped that one too.

[@tolyn8060]

Отличная работа!.Великолепная!.👏😊

[@Olga_Valeryevna]

Итог лучше с завода

[@TrentTheCreator]

This man is like the Swiss army knife of restoration, his skills know no bounds!

[@Scar_does_stuff]

I personally would have repainted with the nice olive-ish green like original, but that's just because I love those shades of green. The yellow looks nice too.

[@manalojosegabrielm.7704]

My mechanics is so happy when you make a new one HAHAHAHAH

[@luanferreira-nh2em]

Ficou sensacional amarelo com cromado 👍👏

[@SnackySatan]

that big, silver claw tool at 3:21 was SO COOL!! And what a niche piece of equipment! also the clear plastic bottom was a very nice touch imho.

[@chrisdaigle5410]

I like the clear bottom plate. Very well done restoration. Now you can dedicate on bench grinder for polishing and the other for grinding wheels.

[@paulorth2251]

Really nice work on this grinder set. The inside seemed to be in pretty good shape, compared to the exterior. Once again you made the tool an item would like to have in their shop. Thanks for sharing this story with me.

[@daysedockhorn1765]

Oi TySy, mais uma restauração bem sucedida e em perfeito funcionamento, parabéns pelo capricho e edição impecável de seus vídeos!!!

[@bostedtap8399]

Excellent job Sir, Great photography and thanks for sharing.

[@knxcholx]

Sandblasting literally looks like the most fun thing ever! I want a sandblaster 😂

[@jameshanoomansing1442]

great job as usual.....it needs to be earthed and paper washers to the grinding wheels...just my thoughts

[@brose04008]

I wholly approve of the transparent plate on the underside. Another awesome restoration for the books.

[@mauroalejandrovivas8321]

Felicitaciones por tu trabajo desde Buenos Aires Argentina !!!

[@arjnsdca]

Beautiful. And yes, I love polished metal!

[@ironbomb6753]

Clear bottom cover is great, I like that. The polished aluminum not so great. But a beautiful restoration job. Well done, again 👍🙂🛠️

[@901ronnie]

Wow! No vibration and beautiful. Perfect. Best restore of bench-grinder I have ever seen.

[@LadyLeigh]

Just beautiful to hear that motor quietly whirring after the restoration. I am spellbound during your restorations. Superb job yet again.😊

[@homeyshlitz]

It looks like it was made in the 70s with the earthtone green color. Nice work Tysy.

[@nilceiasantos6191]

🇧🇷Amo ver os seus vídeos de restauração . Vc é muito bom restaurador.

[@yonkersguy]

Love watching your restorations, but didn't want to see the finished piece in the thumbnail! I want to be surprised. :)

[@MickyFoley]

Yeah. This is a major spoiler. And so, even if I want to watch the process, the whole video is flawed. Like watching a good sports game and know, how it will end. Sad :(

[@Lina-ss3mm]

Oh, sandblasting is so cool

[@matthewpearsall9249]

Didn't think much of the colour until you assembled it very nice I like the transparent base Dfid you fix your own grinder because I see you don't have to spin it with your hand to get it going 👍👌

[@HammyTechnoid]

My favorite part is always the sand blasting... it's so cathartic...

[@thany3]

I still think it'd be easier to use a chemical rust remover. Then it's just a matter of wiping the residue on a wire wheel and it's the same result. Otoh, sandblasting will remove more than just rust.

[@majdibidia7394]

Restoring these machines is very impressive

[@cavscout7366]

The clear underside was a great idea!

[@dupazelli1]

You're very capricious, which is why I find this channel one of the best about restoration here on KZbin .

[@stormkhan4250]

That's a nice looking restore. Good job. Just a safety thing but when you connected the earth wire to the chassis you should scrape away that yellow paint to bare metal to ensure the earth is in contact with the metal body.

[@jesseturner9865]

Dig your series of "now that I have learned stuff". The scales and the grinders show how much you've evolved.

[@andrewmackenzie7180]

I REALLY WANT TO GET A TYSYTUBE RESTORATION SIGN FOR MY BEDROOM WALL... JUST LIKE THE ONE YOU HAVE ON THE WALL ABOVE YOUR WORKBENCH... YOU'RE THE GOD OF RESTORATION

[@tonygorham]

Great job. My fav part was the white dot on the power switch

[@djvenum1542]

T'es un génie !! j'ai beau regarder tes videos souvent, je n'y trouve rien à dire !! à part bravo !!

[@gills.manjit6306]

BEAUTIFULLY RESTORED, Job well done.

[@cannoncolossus2449]

Beautifully done! The paint turned out perfect.

[@gxbouncer1]

Amazing restoration is always very cool idea of making a clear see-through bottom plate it’s a shame you don’t live closer I have a whole garage full of things that need to be restored from a little bitty 2 mm socket up to a full size drill press and tablesaw

[@vaxa5430]

[@psihofizik_4140]

Лучшая реставрация!!!

[@JI-tz1gz]

Would like to add to the positive comments that the recording quality, details, time.. are also excellent

[@WallHaxxx]

Clear bottom is a nice touch.

[@ryanderoche3330]

I always imagine is it videos being filmed in front of a live studio audience. All of the "Ooohs" and "Aaahs" and then the crowd eruption at the end when he presents the final product.

[@chandarussell]

As always it was a beautiful job. It didn’t even look like the same machine by the time you finished with it. I so enjoy your videos and always look forward to your next one.

[@stvnvlz6310]

The cable connectors are ment to be heated with a heatgun or lighter (carefully), so the cable couldnt slip out even if you tear on them. The rest looks brilliant by the way, nice work.

[@giuseppe.linguinelli]

You know, usually I'm very cynical, cruel and merciless viewer. But this very restoration - I like very much, It saves the spirit of the epoch's industry, making things fresh and beautiful at the same time. Thank you for your talent!

[@BgushBour]

Когда включил, незаметно так заработал, тихо. Зачет.

[@zerocks88]

considering it's apparent age it looks to be in incredible condition! great restoration as always

[@srvfan454]

That grinder is a work of art!

[@InConstantPain]

The plexiglass bottom is pretty awesome good idea mate

[@MrYassokwt]

Very accurate and professional work, good job

[@pickett1864]

I always look forward to your videos, your work is great and the videos are well edited, you have a big fan here in Alabama please continue to post your work.

[@basvanengelen6546]

Tysy you made from this one a beauty.... I like the yellow painting with the black and chrome polisched parts... Verry Nice😍😍😍

[@pumibel1720]

I am happy you kept this one!

[@paullopinto2777]

Very nice. I would use that one if you could instead of the one you are currently using. Makes me nervous when you have to physically get it spinning the proper direction. Good work.

[@groermaik]

That bluing product is awesome! I have an old shotgun that needs rebluing. Now I know the one step product to use. Thanks.

[@seadogg5416]

Very Nice, just the Inspiration I needed to do a Jet Bench Grinder I've had for years.. Thanks..

[@bojidarvasilev8854]

this grinder look like better than brand new 👍👍

[@user-st8qs7qs2i]

Great job, as always! You need to already open a museum of restored tools and equipment, and of course shoot about this video.

[@ButacuPpucatuB]

Magnificent!!! I love that you chose yellow paint. Thank you!

[@guillermoreche4840]

Resultado, mejor que nueva. Buen trabajo

[@axelrajr]

i like it a lot. the clear bottom fun. i almost think i find it would have been more interesting a piece if you had matched the original color (or as close as possible). the yellow makes it look modern with only the polished pieces making it unusual. that color would mark it as an older tool.

[@hlebo]

I love the transparent base. See-through is always better!

[@uweinhamburg]

I bet it looks and works better than new from the production line 👍

[@saxwaxed]

Beautiful in yellow !

[@CaseysCoolPrints]

So good. I wasn’t a fan of the blueing until I saw it assembled. Love it now.

[@charcequence]

Restoration as i like! Clear aluminium, plexiglass polish...

[@EyecantspelWell]

One of your best. I love the plexi-glass bottom. Keep up the great work. Tres bien !
