Once you have a lathe, you'll understand why it is the tool that changed the world. It gives the ordinary man or woman a superpower. If you can imagine it, you can make it. Cheers from NC/USA
I'm just laughing at the next person who came along and grabbed the roll-top. "This thing is in great shape, but the dang slide-out board is missing???" Lol
Hey John, reminds me I need to keep on top of my dull bits need sharpening.. I had to chuckle when you mentioned people seeing your videos on restoring their trash.. you ought to leave a calling card with a link to your channel 😆 great episode as always ! All the best Rob

I love the poor man's flee market, I was give a desk but it was missing a shelf and some of the adjustment pins which I found along the road in the trash 1500 miles from home on vacation lol, they had it broken up but the adjustment pins and the shelf I needed was in great shape, my wife wasn't as happy as me when I stopped to harvest what I needed from the trash 😮. 😄 PLEASE note to anyone who picks from trash, please be curious and carry a couple extra trash bags to keep what you leave in good order and not a mess, You owe that to whoever put your bootie out and the garbage people who are going to pick up what's left. 😊
Hi Scout , Nice Find . You Got A Deal. I Went To The Flea Market And Picked Up A Small Fan. It Needed Cleaning And Oil. But I Saved It And It Is Back in Use .I Needed One . It's A Holmes 9" Blizzard . Nice Little Fan. Saved From the Landfill ! I Did Get A Electric Pencil ✏️ Sharpener At The Poor Man's Flea Market the Other Day. Works great.
Scout I agree sometimes I go out in the shop no projects going on. And I end up spending hours just piddling around and making projects for my self. No better time for me than in the shop. Unless it's my grandkids!!
I just came home from tractor supply with a set of drill bits because I needed some sizes that I don’t have and just saw your poor man’s flea market find 😮boy am I jealous 😅
Hi John, wow, what a haul. I can’t believe how many bits were in that yellow plastic box. The desk was a pretty nice one. Would be a great project but one of those items that take up a ton of space. Four Videos in one week. Hot Diggity Dog. Like the motor work. Getting me ready for my motors. Thanks for the video. Best Regards, John
I know it’s hard to pass bigger items up, myself I don’t have any room for more. Drill bits always have a home unless there’s nothing left to save. I have drill bits from my childhood. I like the lesson on cleaning up the shank. 1/8” drill bits is my most used. I have broke my share over the past 50 years. I always enjoy your knowledge. Thank You
Hey Scoutcrafer, when I worked as a MACHINIST one safety rule was no rags near spindles or lead screws.. piece of cardboard or heavy paper to catch dust
@@ScoutCrafter yes ,respect the power of machinery.. one co worker lost a finger wearing cotton gloves de burring on a drill press....I'm long retired , still have all 10 fingers and both eyes.
Woo hoo we get another show this week 😃 Great video John! I have 2 big coffee cans of bits I have inherited from my day that are really in good shape. Enough to keep my son , son in law and grandson I bits for a life time. Dad didn’t throw anything away 😂 Enjoyed the show today and looking forward to tomorrow! Thank You for sharing
I am surprised those bits were discarded in the trash but I am glad you got them and restored them! You may be on to something, maybe your neighbors are watching your channel. Thanks for sharing this.
My late uncle was an aircraft engineer and nearly all his drill bits were around 1 to 1½"" long after he spent years sharpening them, he would only throw them out when they became too short
I’d call that a great score all them drill bits. Wow! I would’ve been so happy. And a cool container as well. Crazy what people just toss out. And you had what looked like a lot of fun getting them back in service!
John, you're spoiling us with extra Motor content, looking forward to it ! What a find those bits were, could have been made for you, interesting tips on repairing them too !
Interesting info today, especially the things that get discarded. Another motor restoration will fit nicely with Friday’s Craftsman rebuild, so can’t wait. Thanks again!
I thought that maybe you "bit" off more than you could chew! Lol! But Nah! You did every "bit" as good as I knew you wood! Sorry, John! But I had to drill down on those lousy puns! I know...don't press my luck😂
A wide variety of bit types as well as sizes. Mill bits, brace bits, taper bits. Yes, it's a shame some get lazy tightening chucks. You have to turn at least two of the three positions to get a good seat.
There was a big roll-top desk in my grandma's basement. One day we kids were playing hide-n-seek and one of the neighbor girls (the oldest one among us) decided to hide in the desk. She crouched in there and needed one of us to pull the top down - so we did and, oh no, it latched shut and we couldn't get it open! One of us ran up to get grandma while the girl's sister ran next door to get her dad. He was an electrician and came over with a huge screwdriver and jimmied open the top. Little Carol was scared and crying; her dad swept her into his arms and carried her home. Can't see one of those desks without thinking of that story. It was an immense desk that apparently came from the railroad that my grandfather had worked for. We never went near it after that incident. Some years later some guys (AKA, thieves preying on the elderly) were in the neighborhood knocking on doors asking if there was any junk that needed hauling away. Grandma was so trusting that she let them look around in the basement and they conned her into letting them take away the desk. Quite possible she was afraid of it by then.
The first drill I owned was a 1970’s era Craftsman “Commercial” drill. The chuck couldn’t grip a drill bit - it was almost as if the chuck was designed to be a clutch to protect the motor (to reduce warranty claims). My second drill was a Milwaukee Hole Shooter with a good chuck - the Milwaukee stopped my spinning drill bit problems. Even the keyless chucks worked better than the Craftsman chuck.
FYI, the yellow case is from a cheap roadside assistance case. I see them at garage sales all the time. Thin jumper cables, a flare, a plastic flag, a flashlight and something that pretends to be a first aid kit. Every component is the worst possible quality. You can and should make your own with better parts.
It just goes to show you that our society is very wasteful. We throw out stuff that is still very useful. I am just as guilty as everyone else. But this video does make you think about next time you go to throw something out. Thanks for another great video!!
I have said it before and I'll say it again... This is why the Habitat 4 Humanity stores in New York struggle. All these great things in the trash should go to Habitat for Humanity!
I look forward to all your videos, so happy days tommorow!! I really enjoy the look of those snake drills, though I never or hardly use mine. I have a handful that came from a furniture maker's shop in Amsterdam, but one of his grandson had cut of all the square ends to fit them to his electric drill, I still polished them though 😂 Have a great week!!
Lots of people cut off the square shanks to make the drills usable in power drills, the only problem was the screw pilot would often draw the bit deep into the wood and made them difficult to control. 😃👍
When I open a used drill index and see bits in upside down, with the shank up, I know it’s because it’s got a galled shank that wouldn’t fit in its hole.
I have been kicking myself since yesterday. I passed a trash pile that had a power wheelchair, with the joystick and it was all complete. But it had to weight over 200 pounds but I simply couldn’t carry it. And I would have felt funny driving it home. But I got some broomsticks and a heavy duty ice chipper.
Enjoyed the video especially the segments on the drill bits. Looking forward to the motor restoration video. That is such a shame that that roll top desk was being discarded like that. I hope someone claimed it and it finds a new home and doesn't end up in the dump. I have a small student roll top desk too. It's not as nice as the one in your video. I still have the small wooden chair with it. The chair was broken and part of the chair was mistakenly discarded but I still have the base part. I would give it free of charge to anyone who might like to restore it. "Time Flies In The Shop," if you read this, you know about where I live. If you are close to my location, you are welcome to it or, perhaps a friend of yours that is into wood working would like this desk It would make a nice restoration video🙂. I just don't know how to go about contacting anyone on here who might like to have it. There isn't anything wrong with the desk except it is really old, minor scratches, marker like what Scout cleaned up. things like that.
You gave me an idea for the brace bits that have severely damaged lead screws, and that is to sharpen the lead screw to a 4 or 6 point sided centering point ( like a square awl) and start using them in my drill press of brace at slower RPM’s as bottoming bits, or flat bottom counter sink drills, I have a quantity of that type of bit on hand and could never get myself to toss them out, let you know how they turn out. Thanks for the video, enjoyed it.
Another good video, John. It’s the way I start my Monday. OK I have to ask. Where do you get a metal lathe that is reasonable priced. It’s on my bucket list of things I wanna buy.
Allen- Metal lathes are so hard to buy. The older vintage ones are better made but often worn out or out of tolerance. The new ones are cost prohibitive so making a choice is very hard. I think a new small mini lathe is the best option as it will let you learn without a huge investment, if you like turning you can always buy a bigger lathe knowing what features you like. Go here and look at their first time lathe buyers guide. littlemachineshop.com/products/product_view.php?ProductID=4959&Source=GoogleMachines&device=c&keyword=tabletop%20lathe&gclid=Cj0KCQjw8qmhBhClARIsANAtboepHRqHOqIgegqtwHwd4eSGVvUBE8D77c5cLJ0VIeXWfHcYd9PjZ3caAlO9EALw_wcB
In my distant past I taught machine tooling at a trade school.. the kids would always damage the drill bits.. I still don’t know how they did it so often. A few of them could damage a steel ball in a rubber lined room. the short cut I used was take drill bits that have shank damage and touch them up with a file. Don’t need to remove anything except the little bumps and high spots.
As soon as anyone goes after a spun shank or even tries to sharpen them with a bench grinder they invariably mess them up........I'm convinced bench grinders have ruined more stuff than they've ever fixed.
I have seen some brand new twist drill bits with flats on the shank end. I'm sure they are intended for the 3 jaws in the chuck to grip on and prevent spinning. If you have a round shank drill bit, is it possible to put the flats on the shank instead of just smoothing out the shank like you did on this show? I think it will help prevent the spinning in the chuck in the future and will also take care of any gouges in the shanks. I would think you could do it with a grinder or by hand with a file (this may take a long time if it is a hardened shank).
My teacher in school would make people use white rain hair spray to remove marker when she caught them writing on the desks also dry erase marker over top permanent marker will help remove it
Hi John, yet some more great finds. May have to start a second channel just for the recon flea market adventures!! Lol. Anyway, is there a way other than busting a vein in your head trying to tighten the drill bits in a press to keep them from spinning? I have a couple of bits that like to spin regardless of the tightening. Maybe a word chuck?
I have a few titanium coated bits that spun in my chuck and I wonder if it’s common in coated bits. Is it an indication of poor manufacturing standards? Not sure why they were spinning on me because I always crank down several chuck holes
That motor looks like a poor man's flea market find. Its too new to be something you bought. Unless its from a piece of equipment you have had in your shop for years and you are doing a clean up and maintenance on it.
I love to find items at the poor mans flea market but the problem seems to be stiff competition around here! I get lucky once in a while but there is guys driving around in autos looking and grabbing. A funny thing is a neighbor had moved and through most of her deceased husbands things to the curb. Piles of stuff. These guys were swarming like angry vultures dragging things to their cars and trucks. it was only less than a half a block from my house so it provided some hilarious entertainment! I kept my eyes on the shenanigan's for a whole day!
The Gabbige gods have been smiling down on you Bud!!☻

😂 Normally I leave things intact just for that reason but I walk late at night and the garbage truck is only minutes behind me! 😂👍
Bonus Mr. John week!! Awesome!! Thank ya sir!!
Hey John, reminds me I need to keep on top of my dull bits need sharpening.. I had to chuckle when you mentioned people seeing your videos on restoring their trash.. you ought to leave a calling card with a link to your channel 😆 great episode as always ! All the best Rob

😂. She said I should have taken it! 🫣😂👍
Hey Scoutcrafer, when I worked as a MACHINIST one safety rule was no rags near spindles or lead screws.. piece of cardboard or heavy paper to catch dust
Good point. I walked into the shop at work recently greeted by the lathe chuck key in the chuck, happily waiting to hurt someone, or himself.
I heard of a guy who said they didn’t allow long sleeves when working at the lathe! 😂👍

Awesome score! I used to carry Goo Gone at the hotel, which would do the trick on the hotel furniture. Definitely need a lathe. 👍
What a great haul!! Love to see these things put back to use. Well-done, very interesting video as usual! Thanks!

Back in the 70’s people didn’t want old junk anymore and were trashing everything! 🫣😂👍
Hi John great tips. 👍 thanks.
Wow, what a neat video, lots of interesting stuff. I'm a sucker for roll top desks, just love them. And thanks for the "shout out".
John, super, super find with the drill bits. A whole days worth of fun restoring them !.
Great episode we all love going on the shop adventures and are thankful you make them available to us thanks for what you do.🙂👍

Yes- if the chuck isn’t ground properly or an inferior model they won’t grip worth a darn! 😃👍
Always fascinating content. Thank you.
Another great video. Now I know how bad off I am with some of my large drillbits that have spun in the chuck.

Great find on the drill bits! Looking forward to seeing the motor video. Thanks
Yet another fine episode,can't wait for the the motor restore.
Good score on the bits. Several hundred dollars right there.

Loved this. Could you do a tutorial on sharpening bits?
I learned how to sharpen the bits a long time ago. I try to show other people, but I still get stuck with that chore.
I love the poor man's flea market.
I like that yellow case. I bet you could make some good use of that too.
Great score

You gave me an idea for the brace bits that have severely damaged lead screws, and that is to sharpen the lead screw to a 4 or 6 point sided centering point ( like a square awl) and start using them in my drill press of brace at slower RPM’s as bottoming bits, or flat bottom counter sink drills, I have a quantity of that type of bit on hand and could never get myself to toss them out, let you know how they turn out. Thanks for the video, enjoyed it.
Yes! Even if you just grind off the threads with a Dremel the bits should be manageable in power applications. 😃👍

lookin' good, have a great week...
As soon as anyone goes after a spun shank or even tries to sharpen them with a bench grinder they invariably mess them up........I'm convinced bench grinders have ruined more stuff than they've ever fixed.
😂😂😂. I know I have!!! It takes years to develop a soft touch. 😃👍
I've actually got pretty good at sharpening bits over the years but 3 16th's is it, anything smaller is dead
When you are trying to sharpen the only right sized drill bit you own and it just keeps getting shorter and shorter 🤔🙄😁
I have seen some brand new twist drill bits with flats on the shank end. I'm sure they are intended for the 3 jaws in the chuck to grip on and prevent spinning.
