      ​@@timsmith854 Oh, I meant that by showing the final result at the beginning, you are robbing" the viewer out of the adventure/experience of making, modifying or restoring the item. The New Yankee Workshop used to do that and never liked it. They would show the made product right at the beginning of the show.

    Fantastic video like always, since I started looking at your videos, I learned a lot, and now I am tackling jobs I would have never dreamed of doing, recently bought a used Bosch table saw on a gravity table that was forgotten for a while outside to the elements, imagine the rust!!!....I tried to apply some of your techniques, and "voila" I have a pretty nice table saw for 200$, maybe not as perfect as you would have done, but beats the heck of buying a new one at 1200$, and works perfectly. Thanks to you!!!!

    I know I'm late, but, I think I have an idea on why those screws were in the gearbox.
    When you first tested out the crank, the whole thing was obviously unbalanced. I think the last person that used it had a similar problem. So they put leftover pieces of metal (( Screws )) to try and weigh it down in an attempt to stop the vibrating. With the whole thing well greased like it was, my guess was that the screws were first causing rattling when spinning the wheel. The grease just made the screws more silent. But, that's just my theory.

      @@lorencarey7161 If anything, it's a Platonic restoration: restoring the old and used thing not just to its original physical state, but to its ideal state, the one it would come in if the original makers weren't constrained by costs and the technology available to them.
      I disliked the fact that he refinishes structural pieces to look like new, instead of bluing or otherwise corrosion-proofing them while preserving the signs of time. But then I understood that he goes off of a Platonic ideal of the thing, rather than just trying to restore and preserve the function of it. I habitually dike zipper pulls off new clothing and bags to replace them with cord, so preserving the ideal aesthetic was lost on me for some time.
      Also, I was sure he'd chuck the grinding wheel and get a new one. Abrasives are expendable anyway. It was a pleasant surprise when he got the diamond tool out.
