Vintage Hand-Crank Grinder Restoration

Links to some of the tools used in this restoration are below.
This is the second of three in my "Hand-Crank Series". This little contraption actually works pretty good once you get it back up and running. It had a broken wooden handle, which gave me my first excuse to re-create one on a lathe.

Looks wonderful. Two suggestions: Show us the sandblasting and highlight the lettering with white paint. Very nice job!!!!! Love the powder coating!!!!!

[@MadStiles]

Subscribed! Turned out great! Can't wait to catch up on your other videos.

[@simonfowler8991]

Another excellent job. Please, please show the sand blasting though, that'd be awesome!!!

[@-Deena.]

Really nice job on the handle, especially using the world's cutest tiny chisel 🧡

[@NavyVeteran1776]

Nice end result. Would have liked to see more of the process including the sandblasting and paint removal.

[@fredosleepswiththefishes]

careful, don't mention sandblasting, he is very testy about that subject.

[@NavyVeteran1776]

benny fredo 😂 but it’s amazing.

[@OneMansJunk]

Hehehe good to see you benny!

[@fredosleepswiththefishes]

@@OneMansJunk nice to see you have a sense of humour, where was it the other day?

[@StephenJStephen_Photography]

An excellent restoration! The black and red colour choice was great too.

[@user-dx6pt9oo6h]

Hi bro 👋👋👋 very good restoration grinder 👍👍👍

[@ap45sontoolworks11]

Amazing resto!!!!

[@markharris5771]

Excellent restoration. I’ve thought about those little lathes more than once, but I’ve always wondered about how useful they are. It looks like for the very small jobs I do they’d be very useful.

[@jrand2631]

Another great resto, and I like the red color! 👍👍👍

[@stephaniesander5465]

Great job!

[@frick566]

Damn nice resto!

[@bobjoncas2814]

..great resto..good vid..

[@thomasbeck8326]

I have seen folks take a paint pen and highlight the lettering. Really makes it stand out in pop. Just a suggestion. Keep up the good work

[@vickiefowler1429]

I almost bailed when you skipped the sandblasting. But, it turned out very nice. I love the red!

[@neilyoung5851]

I need to put together a go fund me for buying One Mans Junk a larger chisel

[@ragipcamlibel8208]

Eline sağlık ustam çok güzel olmuş

[@anniehill7664]

Great job on this project especially the handle recreation. I’ve been wondering what rust remover you use and the tool link answer my question.

[@typoagain1]

You always appear to use the same stain color. Looks like ebony. Try a light color. I think the contrast will look better.

[@OneMansJunk]

I am fully aware people get irritated when they can't watch the sandblasting. Unfortunately, the size and condition of my equipment right now makes clear filming of the process impossible. However, I am actively considering a larger blast cabinet. Thanks for all your support.

[@jrand2631]

We'll survive mate. 👍😉

[@chrishobbs236]

no worries i will watch anyways

[@telescopereplicator]

7:12......????? Please explain......... First, the steel rod slides through the hole, easily. Cutting a thread will only remove metal and widen the hole and thin the rod. Yet, at 16:25 it seems to work...........???!!! Technically, it should be loose. To the point of being useless..... But apparently it's not. Please explain. Great video, btw....!!!

[@rickdaniel1707]

Wondering the same thing.

[@transdimensionalist]

*ground, not grinded

[@transdimensionalist]

+ you want the tool rest as close as possible to the work when woodturning

[@OneMansJunk]

I appreciate the advice it was my first time.

[@transdimensionalist]

@@OneMansJunk no worries, good handle :) and project

[@Rich13canada]

The most annoying thing about all the restoration vids I have watched is the need to wear gloves. Are you afraid of a few little cuts or do you not possess the required the grip strength?

[@OneMansJunk]

Gloves take attention away from the hands and on to the object, where it belongs. I appreciate you watching.

[@Ea-Nasir_Copper_Co]

Rich Giroux How insecure in your masculinity you must be to perceive the desire not to have tiny chunks of metal embedded in your fingers as 'weak'. Dude.

[@FlatsRunner]

Just need to be careful wearing gloves while using machinery

[@carldelawter8900]

Some people like me who worked with food were required to have "clean" hands. NO staining allowed.
