Rusty Arbor Press - Restoration

[@PsyberEMT]

The only thing cooler than seeing a My Mechanics restoration is seeing him restore something that will stay in the workshop to be used later! Looking at you, Beverly Shears!

[@mymechanics]

This press will definitely find very good use for future projects.

[@Cosmitzian]

@@mymechanics So many videos of you punching things out with a hammer. NO MORE!

[@angelocurcio9415]

Why do you file in one direction, like with the big file, and in both directions with the others?

[@overyonderjustapiece]

@@angelocurcio9415 probably does it depending on how much the file can remove for better control. If you notice, it is only the small files that he goes both directions with.

[@TheOwlman]

@@angelocurcio9415 Generally, files cut in one direction so applying pressure on the return stroke just blunts them. Regards.

[@michaelayres1452]

Even just recentering the piece in the 3 jaw chuck after turning it round to get a concentric cut is a bastard. His work looks flawless every time.

[@frigee53415]

I am thinking more along the lines of tool and die maker, to the 10th degree.

[@Itsdirtnaptime]

As watching some of the stuff he does, yes he has some good machining skills, but I wouldn't call him a machinist. I don't say that as a bad thing. He is far more like a fabricator. I do like something that I bet most people over look. As a machinist, nothing is worst that trying to machine a weld that someone took an angle grinder to. I think it goes to show that he knew better. He didn't take an angle grinder to it. He straight took it to the lathe. Hybrid machinist and fabricator.

[@stevecorcoran9869]

You do mean except for the part where he cuts into his milling machine table . . . . right?

[@James_T_Kirk_1701]

Meh nothing special, grew up around machine shops. Tons of people can do the level of work he does. It’s nothing significantly special. Not that it’s talentless, but nothing ground breaking either.

[@mymechanics]

Wow, thanks!

[@MysteryTako]

He’s SWISS!!! EVERYTHING MAKES SENSE NOW! I knew he was European, almost completely fluent but not native English, and it was driving me crazy trying to deduce his country. I thought maybe Germany because there have been some German tools restored on here but Switzerland makes so much more sense! No wonder he’s so admirably meticulous! Thank you for this channel, I enjoy every upload!

[@francescomarialeo]

Yes and he alsk comes from the french part of switzerland, maybe Fribourg or Neuchatel

[@zeevo]

You could have deduced it from the model of his electric outlet. They're only used in Swirzerland. The model with the ground pin aligned in the center. I live in Brazil and we have the same, but the ground pin is offset.

I know that there can be questions about over-restoring items, but something going into use, rather than into a museum, makes all that irrelevant. I would have hesitated about taking the markings off the bolt head, that does lose something, but the bolt could easily have been a replacement. It doesn't matter. I did wonder about the new table.
