![Largest Pipe Wrench I've Ever Seen [Restoration]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/MQ9AvvrXhaQ/mqdefault.jpg)
Ah! A hand operated drill with pawl advance. This was my first ‘power’ tool. On some metal the advance could be higher than than the drill could cope and you had to keep backing the pawl off. It was an ideal way for a young man to appreciate feed rates of materials. The day I could afford a second hand 1/4 inch electric drill was magic! I kept drill for many years until I needed the wall area for further more modern machines. I passed it to a new owner who was gratified by it.
I've just finished restoring mine. It's sat for over a year. I wasn't keen on degreasing the thing, but it's all back together now and like new. I went for a gunmetal and a moss-green finish.
Just imagine the guys that cast that iron body, just for this kind of drill. Beautiful stuff.
I love antique hand tools. I collect and refurbish them, when I can. They r all beautiful and a work of art.
I love those types of wrenches.
I’ve got my grandfather’s old post drill. Cleaned it up, repainted it and it’s now hanging on the wall.
I love restoring old tools! It makes me happy to see other people doing it too. This is really cool!
Seriously jealous of this and the lathe.
James, I greatly appreciate you showing the left-handed thread mistake. We either have all made that error or we will. I also liked how you remade the handle & then cut it in two to put it back on - a simple solution. I always get great ideas from your videos.
dude that is a solid use of anyones time. too much cheap junk gets bought these days. and some of that older gear you just can't replicate. only restore
Thanks! I've got one waiting in the wings, so to speak. Maybe this winter...
I love that you fought with the left hand thread so I didn't have to this morning. Mine's now in pieces on the bench and the cleanup has started. I gave up stripping it late last night and came and watched your video. All problems solved this morning. Thank you, James. That made my life a lot easier!
Glad I could help. It's so nice when they come apart easier than expected.
Health to your hands, good job ❤
The tool is the diamond of your collection. 💥 Fire 💥 ++++++++ A similar tool was seen on the wall of a very old village barn. made in Germany. Before World War 1. The wheel is 1 meter in diameter. All rusty. A huge tool.
Beautiful machine. Exelent restauration work. Congratulations
Very nice restoration, don't ya just love things like this apart and imagining ow they figured out in the first place
Looks like you have alot of fun doing this!
Beautiful
Love those wrenches got myself one.
I really enjoyed around 19:00 minutes where he was cranking the drill around and his mouth was opening and closing in sync with the drill. ;-)
I love old tools.
It’s a beauty👍
Klasse!!! Danke dir James für dein Video!!!🤝
NICE WORK
Tried hard to think of a snide remark , and I think I’ve nailed it, get yourself a copper hammer man,
Don’t beat on those cast parts with a sledge,
There , got that off my chest, now about the video , excellent , very interesting
But, do not nail with a copper hammer...
On our family farm in Wyoming, in our old barn (built sometime in the 1930's), there is a drill press much like this restored unit. It is covered with hydraulic hoses, bird crap, dirt, debris and other things like old grease and mouse droppings. It does have the base plate for resting things on and drilling thru. It also has the drill chuck for drill bits. Had I known how valuable it likely is, I would have rescued it the last time I was there in July 2019. It is likely still there, although, as time goes on, one of these days, the barn is going to collapse, and someone is probably going to just bulldoze everything and it will be gone.
Right now they are worth about $100-200 unrestored out there. If restored it could be $500-$1000
thanks
For as old as that looks, the parts seem to be in fair shape. Some TLC and that will be a blessing.
Very cool!
Would love to see a more detailed video on how to use babbit.
I've been trying to convince hand tool rescue to do one on that. It's a fun topic but I don't do it much.
Awesome
Mine is the exact same model
Here's a nice trick for the wood handle. Instead of sawing it in half find a straight grained piece then split it with a chisel (or someother edge). When gluing it back it will much more surface area and will be invisible. It will also maintain the dimension.
That sometimes works if the wood is perfect but sometimes you might get a secondary split that can be very difficult to fill. And then you often get the crushed wood where the splitting device starts. I find I get better results in general with cutting it than with splitting it. And with the fine amount removed with a dovetail saw you really can't see it when it's done.
@@WoodByWright I've only tried it with much larger pieces. Timber joinery for mailbox post. Its unnecessary but easy.
Need to put restoration on the title to get those hits. Great work
When planning the base at around 13:30 if you turn on the CC it says [Music]. I imagine the sound of a hand plane is music to a hand wood worker's ears.
Lol it is indeed.
You can get bushings to go in that lose joint I believe if that helps
The problem Is the casting is not round and slightly off center. That is one of the big bonus of babbet bearings. The casting does not have to be perfict.
I'm going to save this one. I have a drill just like this that is rusted stuck.
You should have had Eric there and then kick him out of your shop like he kicked you out. HAHA. You two should collaborate on a few more video's.
Thanks for sharing
I would love to. We recorded the last one just before Canada lockdown and we have not been able to cross the border since.
Fantastic work, James! Nicely done! 😃
But you and Nick Burns like blue a bit too much for my taste. 😬
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
satisfing.
Any reason you. didn't replace the chuck with a newer version?
I did later on. But for this video I was just restoring the original. You actually put a normal keychuck into the spindle.
I gotta find me one of those. But don't ya think it's about time you invested in a sandblasting cabinet?
I own two of them. Unfortunately they are both out of order at the moment. The problem isn't as much having a good sandblasting cabinet as having a place to put it.
HA HA HA! "Just like that" he says!
This is one of my favorite videos of yours. Nice change of pace. Would love to hear you talk more, though. Throughout the video I'm wondering what you're thinking about during each step. Pointing out problems you see, maybe brainstorming how you're going to fix or restore certain parts, interesting facts/uses, etc.
Thanks that means a lot all of the talking and teaching is on the second channel (wood By Wright How 2) this channel is just for the easy listening audience who do not want talking. only one video a week on here and 3 videos a week on the other one.
@@WoodByWright - ah, thanks!
I probably missed you saying but what make drill is it and what size is that one?Do they size by number?
I do not know the make and manufacturer of this one. There is no stamping on it anywhere. There is no standard sizing between them each company made their own versions.
Is that the Hand Tool Rescue wrench?? I bought the screwdriver, and I swear, it feels like I'm holding a tank in my hands, it's awesome.
Yes it is.
Did you use grease or just the 3 in1 oil?
Does grease in the thrust bearing but that's the only place that needs it.
Can you tell me where I can buy such a drill???
handtoolfinder.com is a great place to start looking for antique tools.
Is that a hand tool rescue wrench? If so, awesome!
YES! Awesome product placement. Those things are hefty.
Yup. One is an original that he patterned off of and the other is a direct from his hands. I have a couple of them from @hand tool rescue
super cool! How much would you sell it for?
I don't think I would sell this one as it's now my main one in the shop. But usually with this level of restoration they're around 4 to $500.
Especially with a wire wheel you should use safety glasses as te wheel will loose wire parts.
That is why they are on my head.
Snide remark, could use a more interesting paint job.
How the heck does he always find this stuff?
Living in the right place helps. Try looking for tools in a place like Arizona. Garbage planes for $60 (think harbor freight level or worse), pretty much all braces are bent-up riveted junk for 30, and chisels flat out don't exist. On the otherhand breast drills in decent aren't too hard to find here.
Al I can say is 12 point sockets and a ratchet. Great video though.
You used your wife's frying skillet, seems to me she has 2 choices, hit you over the head or cook you a meal using this skillet! Too bad I always enjoy your videos! Will miss you.
Lol the cast iron pots and pans are all mine!
Помогите найти такой ?
Where did you get those beautiful monkey wrenches? I want a couple
Hand Tool rescue Makes them
@@WoodByWright Thanks. I'll check them out.
Beautiful tool. But I want your clogs.
Probably should of had that media blasted before you started.
It would have saved a lot. I did not as my blaster is out for the count otherwise I would have.
But BLUE!!!???
If I restore a tool from my own particular use and know that I'm going to be using it for years to come, I paint it blue is it makes me very happy. And all of the blue tools around my shop speak of a history that I brought to them.
Nah Mate Youve done that all wrong you need to send it to me
I have another one in the shop. I will make sure to do that one correctly.
@@WoodByWright Good onya Mate!
Don't know why you don't oil it before trying to disassemble. ATF+acetone works great.
Spoke to soon.
Soaking in evaporust before trying to disassembling works well too.
I don't see you using penetrating oil in the early disassembly. I would have soaked that sucker in it before starting to turn *any* nuts or bolts.
It was used where needed.
2 minutes in and I'm twitching.... use penetrating oil.
I use it every place it is needed. If you do not see it that does not mean that it is not in use.
@@WoodByWright that part of the vid happened right after i commented 🤦♂️
I think HTR has spoiled me with his resto vids!
Good job on the restoration. I absolutely love seeing new life breathed into old tools and equipment!
i cringed looking at that flywheel in the vise like that.
I can hear you breathing through your nose 2 blocks away
Perfict!
That paint color is bad for an old tool
