Antique Drill Press RESTORATION - Part 1/3, inspired by @Hand Tool Rescue
In a homage to @hand tool rescue Uncle Al restores a blacksmiths post drill that he picked up at auction. This antique drill press restoration starts with breaking down the self advancing pillar drill so that it can be cleaned because this antique post drill is in incredible condition under the layers of crud that has accumulated on it over the past century.
Many thanks to @HandToolRescue for the inspiration to create a title sequence - check out his channel by clicking on the link below to see an array of high quality, entertaining tool restorations.

This is the best antique industrial machine restoration porn I've seen in a long time! and I don't know why, but I just had to buy an Albow Grease shirt.
Subliminal advertising works! Thanks for all the support, Mr.

I'm envious of the condition. I redid one of these a couple years ago. I bought it off of a fella who had it outside as yard art for 40+ years. Nothing moved. Wooden bits were long gone. Come to find out, the ratchet arm was only half there. I was able to come up with a replacement ratchet arm thankfully and I'm quite proud of how it turned out. The support for the lower table (where you put the bits you wish to drill) was broken sometime in its 100+ years of existence and was repaired by a blacksmith who formed a piece of metal that matched every curve and was held in place by hot iron rivets. It adds a little something to the story of the piece as its repaired in such a way that requires skills not possessed by many these days. Sort of a dying art. Anyway, end rant. Thank you for posting this video. I love these old contraptions and im always happy to see one get rescued
Glorious all over!
Thanks buddy, really glad you got to see our homage to your excellent work!
Awesome. I've got a post drill sitting on my drive right now. It's missing a few bits as someone along the way converted it to pulley drive for electric motor.

** side note B : how'bout that DS Schwag for the rest of the world?
... and finally... Thanks again gents for the vids
Thanks for the recommendations!
I have used oven cleaner on heavy caked on grease and it melts it like butter, give it a try sometime maybe it will work for you. Best regards.
Cheers for the top tip, all the best Ricardo!
A fine HTR pastiche, some gratuitous sniffing of oily wood, wire wheel action, drifting and oiling of stubborn components and a double dropsy!
Fine work gents. Looking forward to part two.
Cheers buddy, hopefully not too long to wait for the next instalment, you a HTR fan?
@@DirtyShedCreations Very much so! Turgworks Tim loves him. They swap DMs. It’s a beautiful love connection.
@@PhilMakesThings might have to ask for a cheeky favour from our Tim... 🧐
Hello,
I've sent it to Erik, Eric, eryq, let's hope he gets to watch it
@@turgworks4138 all help appreciated, buddy!
Al, you should have taken a few photos of the post drill before disassembly, it makes reassembly much easier. TP
He's too manly for that type of nonsense, and to be fair he didn't need to.
I have this exact same drill, salvaged from my grandfather's tool shed. It's entirely seized now, having been stored in a not entirely weather proof building by the sea, but I seem to have a vague memory of it turning. I really want to get it working again!! So, I guess I should drown it in WD-40. My farmer/mechanic friends swear by PB Blaster. But, I haven't gotten around to either yet. . .
Get rid of the rust and grime and it’ll turn sweet! They don’t make like that any more. Thanks for getting in touch Leia!
@@DirtyShedCreations I'll keep you posted! I helped my parents clean out the tool shed last spring so they could finally take the building down, it being beyond repair. My grandfather passed in '04 and hadn't been able to get out to the shed for at least a decade previous, so things were pretty bad out there. Sea air and rain are hard on things. Lots of drawers and buckets of chunky rust soup, but I did salvage some things. Nearly 16 tons of rusty iron went to the salvage yard, though. Even at only a penny a pound, they ended up paying us for the dumpster rental!! Grampa was a welder and dynamite tech after WWII, and always saw things for what he could make out of them, rather than what they were in "reality". Anyway, finding your video inspired me and I finally got the drill out of the back of my car and into a tote in my barn and soaked it down with WD40. I'll reapply every so often, so come spring, when it's warmer, it should be ready for some Albow Grease ;) ---Sorry for the long story. . .
@@leiascotton5659 Hi Leia, thanks for the detailed story, hope you're documenting the rebuild! All the best.
Lookin good boys 👍
I'm currently in the process of restoring a bench top self advancing hand cranked drill for the Shedquarters. I'm doing it on the sly when I have to stay back at work. The only markings on it are Britton made. Works great with very little wear.
Sounds like a sweet little project - send us a pic if you get the chance!
This looks exactly like the one I just found. However the only marking on it says No. 00 and then there in another that says 318. I have no idea who made it. I haven't watched the entire video yet, but who made the one you have??
Oh I see. Silver MFG. I wish mine told me who made it....
Pretty sure Post Drill is a genre of music, up there with Gabba and Jazz-infused grindcore. Quality vid fellas, looking forward to plenty more episodes in this series.
2nd instalment already available, the 3rd and final on the factory line, cheers for the comments!
I immediately ordered a Albow Grease shirt, so i'll put it on for the next video and watch for dropsies. Looking forward to it. Keep it up, gents
Thanks very much Carlo! Next episode might beat your delivery of said item, but I don’t wanna jinx it!
@@DirtyShedCreations No jinxing please. I'll just wait and see. Thanks for the shirt and the contents. 👍🏻
Gorgeous piece of Kit, and an absolute steal at that price. Lucky bastards you are
Cheers Hans, it’s only worth what someone will pay, but it was in exceptional condition 😀
Great video Guys, looking forward to see how this turns out 🛠👍😊
Thanks Sparky, totally appreciate all your support for DSC.
Thank you it's always entertaining 👍👍😀
Still not got your vice installed eh? Nice find...your getting old american tools for a steal on your side of the pond as well...good stuff...entertaining video
Nah, on the vice. Yay, that you liked the film!
@@DirtyShedCreations Our future TV star will have to get pedicures soon...
@@vijaysaviopinto you can’t polish a 💩
Good evening Sirs, I'd like to add paraffin is excellent for breaking down pitch snd tar, extremely handy for cleaning out an old 11kv transformer cable box, we've all been there
Great vid, loved the dropsys
Hello to you, bossman! Glad you liked the film, a little Phil bird tells us you’re matey with HTR... 😉
@@DirtyShedCreations I wouldn't go that far, chatted at bit at MC
and to add: Do ya'll have "whiting" over there? Paint it on, brush it off, "REALLY" soaks deep in wood to bring oil/grease out of it. Works great for vintage gunstocks and other oily woods
Great shout on the whiting, I think Al mentions this as an option in a future instalment, but ruled it out from a cost angle using it on a piece of wood that big.
@@DirtyShedCreations I guess I overlooked that. Might have been lost in translation lol :D
speaking of translation, if you want a kick sometime, watch some of the Russian maker channels w/the CC set to autotranslate to English... it's a hoot
Where’s part 3 ??? Boiling water 💧 w/ dawn dish soap 🧼 or couple gallons of gas ⛽️ because
Acetone crazy Money 💴 here . I have used diesel there’s a little film left behind . I have also use brake clean or carb clean but that gets expensive per can depending on how much you’re trying to clean maybe you can hot tank it like they do engine blocks that might work better
Dang! Made 30 minutes from where I live in Ohio. You should have had it shipped to my house.
Thanks George, surely there’s one in every shed in your neighbourhood!

Hey man, I'm not sure that's what that means, so I'm gonna have to pass on this time, but thanks for stopping by.
@@DirtyShedCreations Sir can I Take your videos from your channel and upload them to my channel,
@@Restorationcircle I’m going to have to decline your offer, you cannot put Dirty Shed Creations videos on your channel.
Dang that subliminal crap works, just bought 2 t-shirts. Cheers
😂 you’re good people, Roberto! Which design did you go for?
@@DirtyShedCreations but "elbow grease" of course
It's been so long since your last video I was afraid that you had gone fully to Television and forgot all about us Shedulites, but it was probably camera boys fault for going and making another Sipps video. TP
There’s an element of truth to your comment TP...
