The ingenuity of the craftsman of the past is amazing. Thank you for demonstrating this great old drill press. What once was a tool has now become a piece of art to me.
Again, very interesting variation to the everyday wood working utubes with this Post Drill utube. Just watched the dog platform seat/cushion utube for your truck. This practical project using wood is excellent as it is not in the normal woodworking project category (boxes, dovetails, etc.). More utube tutorials with these type of unusual woodworking projects (with practical applications) would be appreciated. Also, really like the simplicity of your utubes as you do not have hundreds of tools. You make the most of what you have at hand- excellent (renovating this shed for you studio is the ultimate in making full use of what you already have). Thanks,
@@thomashverring9484 I forgot where i first saw one of these, but I was looking for one of these for a few years then i saw it at a local market for a great deal and jumped at it.
I liked the deep exploration of a single tool. I know it might have been tricky filming wise but to see it in operation and drilling in wood and timber would have been interesting. Weirdly my most recent purchases were old hand drills - a Millers Falls type 1 egg beater, and a push drill by an unknown maker but very old.
@@anthonyseiver7000 I hadn't even thought about actually drilling any holes, i got bogged down on how it operates. I will take this into account in future videos like this.
Thanks for sharing. I've wanted one of those manual drills for at least a decade now. I've found a few over the years but they were either missing parts or my wallet was too light at the time. Maybe some day!
@@red58impala Thanks. I had been looking for a few years when i got lucky finding this one at a local market. But i have seen a few online that were either too expensive, on the other side of the country or had broken or missing parts before finding this one. I'm sure you will find one eventually don't give up!
Very nice restoration on the post drill. I’ve been searching for one myself but here in the states anything listed as “vintage” brings premium dollars. I found this video very helpful and would like to see more. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks, it was actually one of my very first restorations, so i didn't get everything right but it worked out great none the less. Here in Australia Vintage likewise brings premium dollar (especially from online vendor and eBay). I got lucky finding this post drill at a local Sunday market and couldn't believe my eyes when i saw it, got it from a great deal too as the seller just wanted it to go to a good home. Hopefully you'll be able to get a decent deal on one at some point.
I have the same drill but I think mine is older , a few parts are different. On my chuck I just got 1/2 round stock , threaded one end to go on the new chuck , put a flat on the stock going into the old chuck. As with you there are not much info on these. I even contacted Salem Ohio historical department and they did not have much either , just what you can find online. Thanks for sharing !
super cool drill! I want to get one someday. If I see a good deal on one I'll probably grab it. Great video as always, cheers from the Philadelphia area!
@@budlloyd3127 I agree it definitely is cool. I was looking for one of these for a few years then i saw it at a local market for a great deal. Thanks for watching and commenting i appreciated it.
@@AussieWoodshed I've been trying for years to get a hand cranked drill press to no avail. Either too expensive or too far away to collect. I almost finished my bench today and was feeling happy until this video, now I think I'm going to drink myself into oblivion.
@@PeteLewisWoodwork Congratulations on almost completing your bench. I looked for years also until i got lucky finding this one at a local market for a good price as the seller didn't know what it was. I'm sure you'll find one eventually.

@@Gazman299 I agree with you it is a piece of art, but i piece of art i can still use for the purpose it was made.
@@AussieWoodshed Absolutely.
I really like this style of video explaining the history of these tools most of us never see 👍
@@FixitFingers Thanks, im definitely planing some more videos like this

Thank you for the feedback i really do appreciate it and the suggestions for content. Thanks again
I have got one of these which would be perfect for restoration.
Great vid, really interesting. Would love to see more of the old tools & their history!.
@@paulleary1775 Thanks, i will look at filming some more
Oh! My! God! I want one so bad!

@@AussieWoodshed I don't really have the wall space for one, but I'm still keeping my eyes open :^)
I've looked at them and was always curious of how they worked. Thanks.

@@thekycoffeebean Thanks, you're chuck solution is a great one. It's just a pitty there isn't more information on these.
Thanks!
@@Gazman299 Thankyou once again
@@AussieWoodshed You're welcome. You don't have to thank me each time. Especially for $2. Take care.
@@Gazman299 No worries, seems like the right thing to do.

@@budlloyd3127 Yep, sure is.

@@peterstevens6555 Thanks
I've always wanted one of these but can be pricy here in California 😢 Although I don't have space for it, it's just amazing...
@@EggyOrphan I completely agree its amazing bit of engineering and works surprisingly well
Located in Sydney, Australia.
ENVY...! 😐
@@PeteLewisWoodwork Lots of people want one. It's a pity they're not made anymore

@@AussieWoodshed I have an electric benchtop drill press but it's just not the same. I'll be posting vids very soon.
@@PeteLewisWoodwork I look forward to seeing you're videos
