Great video, thanks for posting. I have the same grinder. The only thing missing is the wood handle and handle shaft. I don't have a lathe, however I made a handle by using a 1" hole saw and drilled three pieces of 1" thick wood, stacked and glued the hole cores together. A 3-1/2" long 1/4 x 20 screw, two washers and nuts were used for the handle shaft. works great, leaving it in it's original as "as found" condition.
I have a suggestion for a degreaser. I’ve tried many but the one thing I find that works the best is Easy Off Oven Cleaner. I spray it on and let it set for about 30 minutes (time can vary depending on the level of grease and grime) and then wipe it down with a rag. It’s worked well for me on my projects. I suggest a well ventilated area or use If an exhaust fan and some rubber gloves. Also know that it will remove some old paints. Test a spot before you go all in.
Nice restoration. I have a No. 2. It has a broken clamp bolt. It still has the foot, but no wing nut. I like what you did for the old grinder. Did you put some grease on the gears before you closed it up?
Thanks for watching! Good catch on the grease, I sure did. The old grinder runs great, I use it for my more delicate operations. Not an every week tool but great to have when you need it.
Thanks! I use a Panasonic G85 w/a cheap Canon 50mm lens adapter to m43. They are a great pairing. I don't often switch lenses because I like the look of the 50mm in almost all situations.

Great idea with the hole saw. That's pretty genius honestly. Thanks for watching.
@@christophwjones Thanks, the idea came to me trying to think of how I could make the handle.
@ggazzara1115 I've seen some folks use a drill press for shaping before but your idea takes the cake for creative problem solving.

Great idea, thanks for sharing.
You could use carb cleaner as well as a brass brush and WD-40.

What do you film your videos with? Great job on this, didn't even know these existed.
