Sorry to hear that. I didn't get to spend much time with my grandfathers either. But it does feel nice to be able to make that connection through an old tool. Hopefully it will be different for my son and his grandfathers. Doing what I can to work toward that. Thanks for the note, and take care!

@@AndrewReuter few years ago I asked my ex-wife what she would do with all my power tools when I die, and she replied that she would place all of them in a large box and sell the lot for 50 cents in a garage sale. I can laugh about her answer now but wasn't amusing at that time. LOL, take care. ✌😷

This restoration reminded me that there's an old grinder in my Dad's shop that stopped working i'm guessing 40 years ago. I remember when i was about 10 or so having to bump the wheel slightly to get it spinning and waiting a good while for it to get up to speed. So it was around that time it was retired and left mounted on the shelf that's out of the way. When it was retired a new one was mounted in a more accessible location. After watching you (with your son's help of coarse) restore your Father's old grinder i now have Another winter project to add to my list. Thank you for making and sharing this video. I enjoyed watching and it turned out great. Take care. ::SUBBED::

My dad doesn’t have any of his father’s things due to Hurricane Katrina. My grandfather passed away in my father’s arms a few days after the storm. Needless to say what belongings of my grandfather Katrina didn’t physically destroy, emotionally she definitely took it all! I’m making sure I keep whatever tools I can from my father. Good job on restoring grandpa’s table grinder!! I know no price would’ve been too high to make it run again!

Dad bought a broken grinder for a few bucks at an outdoor market. Power was going to it, and cap seemed ok. I could hear it hum but it wouldn't move at all. When I tried to rotate the wheel it was not smooth and wouldn't spin by itself if I tried to push it. I tried to open it to see inside for any damage, it wasn't shorted to ground. I could not figure out how to pull out the end caps. This video did help me understand how it's generally constructed. I never could get mine off by pounding just the endcap, but since I realized how the shaft runs, I ended up having to pound one side to push the other cap off. My bearings were covered with fine wood dust and was not moving at all. I sprayed the dust off with alcohol and the bearings were already spinning very well. I proceeded to wash it out with the alcohol as best as I could, and used compressed air to dry it out. Then poured fresh machine oil into the bearings, then stuffed the bearings with some grease. I put it back together, and to my surprise it turned on. The device also didn't have a switch, (switch was stolen/salvaged), so I used a pass through outlet that had a switch on it to turn it on and off. Apparently if there is resistance, it can't get started to get going and stay spinning, even though it was movable and you'd think the sheer spinning power could overcome it.

Thank you! You are right, this thing definitely needs to be mounted/clamped to the bench. I'm currently leaning toward taking an old rim I have in my garage, welding a pipe to that, and then mounting the grinder to the pipe. It's a useful enough tool to give it some dedicated space in the shop. Although I should probably just mount it to plywood for now because who knows how long it'll be till I get to the rim/pipe plan...

You did a damn fine job on the restoration and that grinder is so much better then 95% of the disposable junk offered today! Nice job on the video production as well.

HTR brought me too this video and after reading the description I was hooked. Even if you never got it too work for whatever reason... That's family stuff working or not they hold many memories. Not too mention 90% of the time work better than today's tools. IMO if it does say Made in the U.S.A./Canada/England and various European countries I'll pass. Great job!

Great video. Nice tool to pass on the your son. Grandpa would be proud! If you were popping the GFCI, that old switch may have had some excessive leakage current from moisture or corrosion inside. Good you replaced it!

Very nice restoration. I have the same grinder that you have which belonged to my grandpa. Surprisingly it was in like new condition. I almost don't want to use it.

That is awesome! I know what you mean about the apprehension about using antique tools. But if it’s useful in the shop, I’d argue it has a better chance of being kept around, instead of becoming some “heirloom” that just takes up space or deteriorates from lack of use. But whatever works! Thanks for sharing!

Heck yeah man! I found an old wissota like that but it was missing the wheel guards, tool rests and eye shields. I just use it as is, but I consider you lucky to have the complete setup. Way better machine than those taiwan made throw away grinders! Nice job!

Well done :-D, a quality tool recovered from death. i have an old wolf bench grinder, the start capacitor blew up and the bearings were toast, it was tossed out as scrap. I recovered it from a skip and replaced parts + repaired the messed up wiring, such a great grinder :-D.

Sweet save and great vid. Great to see the multitask with the son. You can pass this on to him when the time comes. Im saving an old Gryphon 1/2 HP motor myself. Making some de-rusting paste outta some citric acid and oats. Hopefully mine comes out as good as yours, cheers.
