It Died on the Table! Restoring a GE Model TH-20 Drill
zhlédnutí 473Před 21 dnem
I got this drill from the barn sale tool box haul a few weeks ago. GE called it a "Portable Power Tool" because it was made to have interchangeable tool heads like a sander/polisher or even a sabre saw but for the most part, it's a 1/4" chuck electric drill. After I get into this rebuild the power switch quits on me. Will that be the end of this tool? Let's get busy! Link to Barn Sale Toolbox: ...

1:48 sorry for your loss looked like a great cat
lol! I had to look to see what you meant. Hilarious.
Great to see - totally different to the UK but a lot of good lessons from your build. Would love to see more about it - health to enjoy it
Thanks and a big "Hello" from the colonies. I'll upload some video of the inside work soon.
Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
I’m sorry this project took so long for you. I acted as my own GC and my metal building with concrete was done in under 2 months. The permitting was easily the most annoying part but thankfully I had great crews that did the installs.
That's great! My building supplier would not even begin their six week lead time countdown until a week after the concrete was in.
Nice score on the tools you bought. I have a 1/2” electric drill looks very similar to yours. Mine is a Skill brand it’s very powerful. Mine will break fingers if you’re not careful. I always use the loop handle that came with it, so I always use it both hands on while operating.
Thanks! Yes, good advice! Especially when using a hole saw or something like that, these drills can fracture your wrist easily. I don't recall if I found that handle in the box or not but I do have a spare.
sorry you dealt with such delays and a contractor who was not truthful, your building looks great inside and out
Thank you! It was worth it in the long run.
I CAD drafted house plans as a business each sheet of the drawing takes two to three days for up to 2200 sqft changes take take an equal amount of time as the set of plans but it looks great communicates is job one for a great project. Looking forward to some great videos.
Thanks! It's funny that you mention communication. After the third time I was told that it would be six more weeks by the contractor I told him that he is very weak at managing expectations. Had he simply said that it'll take 5 months I would have been fine with it. With every delay I only discovered things were stalled after I called for a status having not heard anything for a while.
Always include liquidated damages in the contract. Every day past schedule is $100-$200 penalty.
Good point! I tried for a clause with monetization but the best they'd give me was a timeline which they failed miserably with. It's on me if I want to pursue it further but I think I won't bother.
Great tip to use a less aggressive drill to screw the bolts in.
Thanks! My friend Tyron does this sort of thing for a living but he admitted that was a better option.
I was using the same screws and drillbit to retrofit a post anchor. I was having the same issue with these screws breaking! Good to see I wasn’t doing something wrong.
Thanks for the info! I was thinking we were screwing it up as well. :)
I’m replacing this same power cord for a friend but felt I should update it with a grounded cord since the mixer is all metal. This mixer would not be sold today without that ground. Trouble is, now the mixer trips a GFCI outlet so this may not be an option.
Thanks! That's interesting info. I often debate whether I should be adding a grounded cord when I do these sort of restorations but I think these mixers have a relatively isolated body so risk of shock is low. I wonder if by adding the ground you're sending a bit of leakage into the GFI?
I’m sure you got plenty of videos lined up but a cool video if it’s interesting would be a tour of your collection of tool boxes/collection of tools? Awesome video as usual been fan for a while
Thanks! I will be doing a shop tour once I get everything set up and sorted out. When I got all of the toolboxes in one room even I was surprised by how many there were. :) Time to get some of them donated out.
Put some graphite greases on the slides
Thanks! I'll give it a shot.
One of the few times you hear somebody tell you about almost losing their s*** and probably had somebody tell them down someday you'll laugh about this. Now you're actually laughing about it. Good to see you didn't completely lose it. Thanks for laying it all out, in details, prices and time. Everybody has things they wish they'd done different but I think you nailed it and definitely won't regret anything you did. Thanks again
Thanks! Even before I started the process with this builder I had prepared myself for some difficulties and delays. I got more than I had imagined but by keeping the end goal in sight I was able to keep "mostly" calm in dealing with everyone.
Great information! And a cool 😺
Thanks! Mugsy is always around when I'm working on things outside.
I had a totally different experience. I used Eagle, and although my unit is half this size. I did my own permits ground work and concrete using tails, 3800.Building was 6900, no insulation or panel all in just under 11k and put in ground exactly 9 weeks from order.
Thanks for the info. That's interesting. Even at it's best I can't see that happening with mine. Maybe if I had the permits before I signed the contract (3 weeks saved) and had the concrete lined up before the contract with the builder (4 weeks saved) it may have been possible. My town made it difficult for me to permit this myself and after my first failed attempt coordinating that with a builder I handed it off.
This is very interesting. I'm thinking of putting a similar (smaller) structure on my property. Nice to know what to expect.
As long as you estimate a lot of extra time you'll keep your stress level down.
I’m directly across the state from you.. I started using these dunks 6-8mo ago, they definitely work. I’m on 2 half wooded acres as well. I started with buckets around my house, now I’ve got them all over. I drilled little holes on the top to ziptie plastic fencing over the top of the buckets to keep animals out. Works great! I too get nailed when I go on walks in the neighborhood, but much better at my house now.
Thanks for the info! I like that ziptie idea. I may have to steal it. :)
Very helpful, thank you! Finished building looks great
Thanks! I went a little crazy with the paneling inside, but it was worth it.
I think it looks great 2👍👍up Have a Jesus filled day everyone Greg in Michigan
Thanks!
Nice to hear from you brother 👍
Thanks!
The foam was probably still out gassing when the initial painting was done. I'm a retired industrial coatings contractor.
Thanks for the info! That makes a lot of sense. It was summer in Florida and very humid so maybe it took longer to fully set.
Thank you for your upload.
Glad you found it helpful! I just had the exact window go on my 2004 Avalanche. Same process but cleaner video because I wasn't in a rush. :)
Thanks for doing the video. I am actually in the beginning process of a 24x40 building. I am using it for a garage to work on cars so I will not be going with paneling, lol. My big cost is going to be the leveling the land, it is on a hill, and concrete pad. The only good thing for me is that I don't have a tight deadline. Your building looks really nice!!
Thanks! i was fortunate to have my lot already level. Concrete has gotten very expensive over the last ten years.
Looks great i have one about that size came with my house . mine is wooden abd 2 floors i am in the updating of it right now prices are crazy for remodeling it lol
Thanks! I had looked into building a wood structure but it would have cost me about 25% more and I was already stretched. Having a second floor would be great.
My building will be $270,000
Wow! Much bigger than mine, I'm sure. 😀
You needed a work shop. I know it was costly but how much you paid for storage over the years.
Thanks! yes, I'm grateful to have it. Changed the water pump in my truck last night in well lit air conditioned comfort.
I was wondering where you were putting all those tools and boxes! Now I know. There they are!
There's a lot of them! My main box which I've had for 40 years is still in my garage. Soon to be coming over.
I built a metal building. For a warehouse behind my store. And a lot of what you’re saying was true.i had more problems with zoning than anything. Had to have a buffer zone between my building and the homes. All that had to be approved. And then landscaping. Mine was about 3 times your size. No AC but did insulation. It took me about 6 months. Start to finish. Yes got to be patient. Thanks for sharing your experience. 💯👊👍
Thanks for the info! Fortunately, I had zoning cleared up by the time I got to contract. Did you go with closed cell foam insulation? I'm curious as to your opinions on that.
@@floridarusticrepairs I had a roof top vent to allow heat to rise and go out. The insulation was kinda old school. Had insulation towards the metal. And heavy plastic on inside. Worked well. For my warehouse. Spray insulation was not offered. I do like the way yours was done.
@@terryeustice5399 The extra window I wanted was actually so I could put a solar fan up there to vent. it didn't work out but the foam really does an excellent job.
WHAT THE!?!?!?! No more taking stuff apart in the gazebo? DUDEZILLA!!!!!!!
lol! Maybe sometimes when the weather is nice. :)
Nice building, is the cost of the building include the assembly on site? Thanks for sharing your info
The cost of assembly is included. The only thing I caught when quoting builders is that some would say that you needed to provide a crane on site. Anytime i argued that point they immediately backed off and included it. Since my building height is only 15' at peak, a crane wasn't necessary anyway which makes me wonder why they tried to add that cost.
Great building but you have to have the supervisors, I know you will figure it out. Building process, sucks. Period. The end result is very nice. You and the supervisors will enjoy it.
It's funny, I was changing the water pump in my truck last night and when I went outside there were three sitting there waiting for me to come out. If I leave the garage door open they'll venture in but as of now they're wary of it.
@@floridarusticrepairs you will work out. They improvise, adapt and overcome.
Thanks for the video and the honesty!
Thanks for the reply. I hope you found it useful info.
The building looks great and there is a lot of space to do about anything.
Thanks! It'll be nice to be able to work some more complex projects where i don't need to pack everything up at the end of the day.
I like that exterior colour and the interior paneling looks great. 👍
Thanks! It's called Hawaiian blue. You only have a few color choices for the metal and I wanted it to match the house if possible. It turned out that this was a similar close.
Hi! Gotta say i enjoyed watching your video. And look at all those tools.. i love tools. Im kinds similar that who loves to have a EXTRA SETS. Well.. maybe more then extra. By the way, that "black and decker" industrial hand grinder. In fact you did showed us when you were counting all thoese drill bits. They have a small stone kinda drill bits. Yeah. Thats it for. If im wrong, then its for a smaller version of hand grinder not angle grinder aite. 😊 keep the video coming! 😊
Thanks for the info! This was a once in a lifetime haul. Legend has it I still haven't gone through it all. :)
There is something about the old metal boxes that held the sockets, ratchet and extensions that I love. Grab them whenever I can. Have been lucky enough to find some old SK and Proto boxes. Back when you really couldn’t buy a bad tool.
Thanks! This set has become one of my favorites. I've never come across a Proto box but would like to find one someday. You're right, back when these were made even the budget boxes were good.
Nice find. I thought for sure the upper was a hutch. Very nice to have the 4 chests.
Thanks! Yes, two middle boxes has got to be rare. I've actually never seen another Spartan set anywhere.
Why didn't you follow the instructions?
Well done. You found some great stuff. Dealing with mouse pissed boxes is such a joy. But that has been so common when dealing with tool hoarders.
Thanks! I see you've experienced that old tool box smell. :) It's like old car smell but not as pleasant.
In bottom drawer the red handle pry tool with the rubber piece on it is used to remove and install hub caps. Pretty old.
Thanks for the info! I'm going to restore that.
Circles not straight????
My tail light has a crack and where it rains now my tail light want work I put a new one in it please help this mamaw
Very likely a blown fuse. Does your other tail light and turn signal work?
There is a port for the vent tube on both sides of the battery. The port that doesn't have the vent tube attached should be plugged. You don't want the battery fumes to vent into the trunk.
Yes, thank you! Fortunately someone had told me this earlier. No idea why it wasn't hooked up to the other battery either.
I believe they call the bit in the box a Forester bit. It's a wood drill bit.
Thanks for the info!
I showed up at a tool free pile that had a couple of small boxes and a tote of goodies. The owner said "There is another trailer full of stuff" I wound up with my truck so overloaded it was almost dragging the bumper on the ground. The guys father was a police dept mechanic and had triples of everything. After I cleaned the tools I sold them for $300. The kids kept all the Snap On stuff. I arrived at another free pile and the guy said "We are moving. We have a barn full of free stuff" This time I had my trailer. I got a lawn tractor, a grinder and a whole bunch of gardening supplies that my wife was most grateful to have. As usual I was maxed out on gross tonnage. These were two instances of the ad did not reflect what was really there.
That's wild! Sounds like whomever bought them from you for $300 also got a good deal but nothing beats a truck full of free tools!
You look a little overwhelmed.
Yes, I was. I couldn't pass this deal up but there was just so much there. I still have some of it in bins and I keep telling myself that I'll get it donated out eventually. :)
I have the same truck although my truck is the 2004 Avalanche 1500 yours is the 2500 I believe
Mine is also a 1500. I think it was lifted 2" before I got it. Either that or the Z71 Avalanche was unusually high. Great trucks. Is yours also red?
