Hey guys, you can find me on Odysee now as well: odysee.com/@ThePostApocalypticInventor:e
Somewhat bitter, but realistically wise and down to earth intro.
We're being worked more and more and no one seems to notice or care.
Yes I like these videos and I will watch anything you do that involves fixing and or upgrading old things especially tools! Looking forward to a shop upgrade video but maybe put a constraint like you need to have acquired the tool 2nd or 3rd hand and can not have bought anything you use in the junkyard upgrades as a new product from a store. Getting something at a discount because it was open or had slight damage is fine though. you are working on three sides of the triangle, reusing old stuff, recycling the parts that are still functioning and because of that you are causing a reduction in production of new stuff.
Followed.
I just signed up and followed you on odyssey
I always like your videos and agree we need to fix things more than we throw out.
Yes indeed, I’ve started to see videos on that platform. I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised that it is a haven for free speech/fantasist types though... I guess that they are more typically expecting to be kicked off their preferred homes. Keep up the great work.
"Would you like to see an episode where I just upgrade several of those tools I have repaired overtime...??"
Really !! Is that even a question??
+1000X on that comment!
Yes please. I have made many improvements to my tools including drill presses table, bench grinders extraction and a speed controller for my angle grinder.
That would be fun to watch!
LLAP
I would like to see what you do to anything you have saved from being scrapped. I intend to make my Black & Decker power saw into a bench saw. I have a B & D router with table so I am going to something similar with it. I didn't say that I used to work for B & D for almost 30 years here in the UK 🇬🇧.
Yes yes yes!!! Upgrades to old machine are cool!!!
Im glad you saved those vices from rusting away. We all know there is nothing sadder than an eidlevice
Very clever pun. However now I can't stop singing the song in my head.
"Everything that can be saved should be saved" is motto that we should hear more often!
I'd be interested in seeing you modify some of the old tools you've saved for modern uses and/or with improved safety features.
I think it should be "everything *worth* saving should be saved".
Thanks for the Junk Yard prowl and the repair of goodies. Quick paced, no needless music and well spoken.
Put a proper side cover and Tool rest (just above Centre) on the grinder.
11:10 Never mount a grinding stone without a paper washer, because it can crack!
and if it cracks in use then the results do not bear thinking about as the peripheral speed is about 90 MPH of 150KMPH in metric
Good to know!
I meant or 150 km/hour auto correct strikes again
@@davidmunro2077 Not a big deal! I was once hit by an angle grinder disc, the old fashion 3.2 mm thick. I almost lost my right eye and the impact caused an injury thru three layers of clothing. Now I use a face shield and earprotection. The disc guard is always mounted. I look a littlebit gay, but I need both of my eyes! How hard it can be if a 20 mm thick stone explodes!
@@SirDrakeNewcanon Not a bit gay more like a sensible person "you only get issued with 1 pair of eyes look after them" on a poster that I say in tech college in 1979.
I have a friend who works as scrap collector and I always love to look on the truck and the containers at his yard, you can't imagine what people throw away sometimes.
Looks like a spring compressor to me.
Definitely "Yes" on the upgrade video idea. Would love to watch.
Would say coil spring compressor too, possible for assembling coil-over shock units, of some kind
non-tested spring compressors are usually called jaw smashers, because that spring will come out and it will knock your jaw off, if it doesn't punch a hole through you
Compressing springs on struts with primary focus on extreme danger... Although, perhaps they'd lash down the strut body and tether the spring itself in some way. If they were wise.
@@vampiremuffinman7183 and have double reinforced metal because the more you compress the spring the more outrageous its power gets. People heavily underestimate engineered objects. They carry an entire car damnit! Imagine a car suddenly hitting you. That's a car spring.
Yep... home made strut compressor, which was immediately scrapped after shooting a spring across the garage.
As a metalwork/ electronics teacher let me say you are a pleaure to watch. If anything you can teach others in safety and you demonstrate that. I see lots of methods shown on UA-cam that are simply dangerous or plain stupid. You show great skills and knowledge and make great effort in explaining what you do.
I agree with you about the waste we create. I'm from Australia and the amount of useful things thrown out is phenomenal. Keep up the videos with your high standard of information and presentation. Thank you.
The grinder is probably a lapidary wheel grinder for hand polished unfaceted stones like opal cabochon or any cabochon cut precious stones.
The vice with the attachment adapted is definitely used to compress car springs, with the holes in it for bolts to hold the spring in place.
Hey, have you thought about going to an east germany scrap yard and looked there to see what you can save or resurrect. Might be an interesting video. I have enjoyed every one of your videos l have seen
some ak 47 restorations would be cool lol
er wohnt in Dortmund er müsste ewig fahren
Find some old Lenin busts and clean them up, I'm sure Biden* would like them.
@Fred Garvin Well, that depends on whether the Republican voters agree to stop coronavirus. So far they don't.
Mark Andrey I wonder what you mean by that ?
Biden likes polished statues of Lenin ?
Went to the scrap yard yesterday, and saw there 3 old machines that were not worth salvaging, two of one type and one other. The 2 were for knitting mutton cloth, used for cleaning, and the other was a knitting machine to make long lengths of fabric. The big machine was parts only and badly dented, and the mutton cloth machines well worn.
However did spend money there, as the scrap steel I took was replaced by me going back with the big bolt cutters, to cut some steel mesh and some flat bar, to be used in making a new grill for cooking. Wanted non galvanised steel, so got painted, will just have to burn off the paint first, then cut to size and weld the flat bars onto the edge as bracing.
Please do the episodes of upgrading the tools and machines that you already have. Also always enjoy the scrapyard trips and see all those old quality built stuff. Who would throw away a Stahlwille metric spanner. Here in New Zealand they are seen as gold.
Such a wonderful channel. I love the German language and of course the engineering. I admire you and your skills. Here in London I too am picking up all sorts of things and have been since I was a lad. We should all be saving worthy things that deserve a longer life.
Since a year now I have also started buying old tools and restoring them. I find it a very rewarding activity. Your video's are inspiring. Thank you for that
5 vises! In my neck of the woods, people charge extravagant amounts for old vises, even common mundane ones.
"Would you like to see an episode where I just upgrade several of those tools I have repaired overtime?" - yes. Very very yes
I love your opening I’m just into my 30s 31 in April to be specific and I was explaining to my step daughter about how deep snow used to be here in the I think we had between 1/2”-1” of snow and there were no busses running near us and I explained that when I was her age all roads were gritted and that when my mother was little buses would still be running even if it was snowing heavily and you would have to dig yourself out sometimes too...... it just goes to show how little a backbone is younger generations have
I like your outlook on tools, work etc.
Hi, just a small point here, in the UK any body who is involved with engineering and uses grinding equipment has to (or should) attend a grinding wheels course, and one of the safety points we are told about is that when mounting a grinding wheel onto an arbor a paper washer (blotter as it is called) should be fitted to both sides of the disk to 'soften' the clamping surface between the grinding disk and the clamp washers, this helps to stop the grinding wheel from bursting, the only exception to this rule is angle grinders, as they use fibre reinforced disks and is not considered necessary.
thanks for the great videos
Awesome! I've watched every single episode. And, mind you? some of them more than just once.
Just because of your episodes, the scrap metal yard and tip shop have become my favourite places to visit!
I'm back. I have would like to see upgrades
Me too
Very much so
Me to
First video of yours I am watching. Subscribed now. Looking forward to more.
I keep collecting old and broken tools and one day I hope to actually bring many of them back to life. I love watching people's different techniques for restoration.
I love that sign: hang it over the toilet!!!
No, send it to me! And ill hang it over the toilet 😁
The blue vice looks to be a spring compressor for automotive work, for replacing struts
Yes! Let's have that scrapyard Upgrade-A-thon!
"As a student in school I was kinda naive and swallowed that lesson" I imagine that wasn't the only lesson of that type.
Be glad you didn't live in the United States in the 80s, where they taught us things like our first president had wooden teeth. Yes, they taught that as history. But it NEVER happened. There a quite a few things we learned that actually never happened. We, too, were naive. We were only children. What else were we supposed to do? Question the history we had all been taught? Lol.
We should've because much of what, we learned didn't happen. George Washington didn't chop down thr cherry tree. And he didn't say "I cannot tell a lie" and all that, other crap we learned. It was all wrong.
For example

Resurecting old tools... Bada-ss Fella!! Keep up the good work!
It’s a car suspension spring compressor and the bends are meant to be there
My thoughts exactly
We’ve got one at work we stick in the vice it makes it much easier removing springs
I know this is 3 years old. But you ask around 12:25 in about videos of upgrading the tools. I would LOVE to see videos where you these tools! I love watching you taking these old tools and bringing them to a wonderful, and useful state to be worked again in a shop. Would love to see you take them to the next step! (Maybe it's even something you do on your Patreon page for subscribers if they are interested?)
also called a blacksmith's vise or a post vise. the leg or post should contact the floor so when hammering on the piece in the vise the force is is directed to the leg or post relieving the pressure on the vise.
Guten tag Pai. I like all your repair-a-thon vids, but your proposed concept of upgrading stuff sounds wunderbar. Lots of room for exploration for the functions of objects. Danke vielmals. Jack, Starcross.
Just a thought, usually a grinding stone has a label, or blotter it is called and the intent is to keep the metal from contacting the stone material and allow even clamping to prevent damage to the grindstone which can cause catastrophic results. Nice result on that grinder!
I would like to see an upgrades video. "Only millions left to go." LOL
Good repairs. I use clear face shield and prescription glasses when grinding.
The second vice, I also think it's a Matador, has a special mechanism to adjust the play / adjust the tension on the slide. You showed it when you disassembled the vice at 19:10 - these big screws with a fine thread are interlocked with their inner screws, until you push the allen keys all the way in to set the locking mechanism free.
Then you also don't need as much force to adjust them, as it was the case in 19:36 :D
Next time in the scrap yard, look for a small pump, some sort of tank and a kitchen sink. Make a video and a parts washer. Or get real fancy and find an old dish washer and some sort of system to clean and recycle solvent. Put it on line so I can copy it!
The blue vise is for compressing 30/30 air brake chambers. On semi trucks and trailers
I am glad to see you have opened an alternative platform, a VERY needed service! Thumbs up for him people!
Thank you for supporting alternative video sites. If most youtubers did that, youtube would not hold such a monopoly and control expression like they do.
Very happy to meet you. Perfect work. And a great inspiration for many of us.
@15:22 I recommend first taking of as much grease as possible with a dry rag, then using automotive break cleaner, which is basically a super powerful degreaser, way more efficient for this job than WD40 and cheaper for the volume.
Very fine and wise words in your introduction. 🧡
Re: Upgrade older finds:
Just as you pointed out you don't have a fitting switch for the grinder motor on hand, I thought "there must've been at least a dozen times when TPAI was missing some part, an episode re-visiting those scrapyard finds would be nice".
I do not know how I found this video clip. You remind me my visit to Berlin, 2014. I did cross rubbish collecting point outside a building on my way back from station Berlin to my hotel. To be frank, I was at that very moment in desperate need of about 30 percent of what was on the heap. I still cannot forget the image. I came as a speaker to a conference , Republica 14. To be frank those staffs on the dumpsite would easy many people lives down here. We are so different...!!!
Old blacksmith devices were surface protected by a mixture of olive oil and Graphite, which is burnt with open flame
I agree, this vise looks like one highly dangerous spring compressor.
Looks like a surface grinder for machine work. It attaches to another machine to grind surfaces flat or to exacting tolerances. The pulley ratio means it needs a higher speed stone.
I once thought a man could never have enough vices, but I think I've found somebody who has 😂 keep up the good work. I love the style of the old East German vice, a very good looking object.
You should always buy a few of those fire extinguisher bodies. Not for their OG purpose or for pressure vessels, but that's a good source of thick cylinders and in the case of the bottoms and top neck portion, good, high quality metal for iron works.
What a great philosophy you have on life! I wish there were more like you in the world, we would be in a better place for sure. From the UK.
I think that your grinding device was a tool post grinder for use on the lathe. Great find!
You are lucky! Where I live, in rural South Australia, all scrap goes into a skip (which one can't access) and goes either to a landfill or a metal recycling yard over 100 miles away, so I have no opportunity to discover the treasures that you find, Please keep the interesting videos coming!
Same in Tasmania 😟
That old grinder might have been a lathe attachment for sharpening reamers or endmills
The second Vice you found is a beast. iv got 2 just like it. Have used one of them as a Shop press when changing Wheelbearing on some cars..
They are branded Matador here in Denmark. Great finds Cheers!!
13:00 100% self made shock spring press
I think that modified vise was for electric motor repair work. Just a gut feeling.
I’m going to fly to Germany and pick up a lifetime supply of vises. Seems like they’re everywhere.
my guess is that the rinder was used to sharpen sawblades either bandsaw or circulair , you might be able to use it as a toolpost grinder for a lathe
as for the fogging up glasses : a faceshield sits a it further away from youre face and as long as it isnt scratched and clean should work pretty nice , i used to be a spraypainter and the facemasks we used had compressed air flowing over the inside , a little overkill for youre type of work but it might help
Your from the old school, which I love. Everything these days is made disposable when something goes wrong with it. It's great to see items being repaired or upgraded. In Australia a of of us have got the same attitude as yourself. Good on ya. 👍🏻😁🇦🇺
I wish we have a scrapyard like that...
My shop never shut down. We all just knew we had to be clean safe ect. and nobody got sick , not even a cold.
Rather than elaborate on building a rest for the grinder, you could attach a buffing wheel or a wire wheel. You could use that to clean or polish future finds and it doesn't need a rest.
I like the recovering and making it new again ,, it's always cool finding things from other places how they put time and skill into there crafting
Thanks for the cool videos
Well done. Thats a big vice and its worth to keep it. Best wishes from an other german youtuber. Great to find your channel by supporting by Time flys in the shop.
A series of videos where you upgrade your tools with the tools you have would be awesome for sure. At the end you'd have all your shop gear decked out!
First few minutes really hit hard
the "grinder" may have been a cloth wheel polisher or a hard felt finish sharpening machine I have both in my shop and have removed the rest to expose more surface
You must have enough vices to furnish a collage workshop!
The grinder reminds me of a disk brake grinder. Used to "straighten" warped disks.
Your dad was a wise man.
I'm always super excited when you put out a new video in this series. You're inspiring, thank you!
Definitely used to repair compress= shock absorbers /overcoils ,the vices with the really wide body look interesting never seen them before what make are thay ,and yes keep up the good work it may incourage more people to repair and refurbish and up-cycling old equipment
I always look forward to and enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work
if you affraid of disposing citric acid in the sink, then neutralize it with a bit of baking soda, you will get sodium citrate that is inert
Semko 17 was a very similar three-phase connector to the one you showed.
Sweden made it illegal in phases, starting with a ban on selling the connector from 1989 onwards. A 2003 newsletter from the electrical safety agency states that the connector caused on average one death per year.
To my limited knowledge, existing installations in good condition may remain unaltered.
“They look pretty good again”. Understatement of the year. :)
I enjoy this channel very much. Thank you for your content.
Despite your nearly unappreciable german accent, your english is very good and easy to understand.. didactic and vell done video, gracias
The first item is (used as) a shoe / leather polisher with a rotating brush.
My uncle had one exactly like it in his shoe repair shop. Then again maybe
he too went to an iron dump to get one. (sorry about the English).😎
Always great to see your innovations and creativity in each episode. Keep up the good work.
Ich als KFZ Mechatroniker bin auch schnell zu dem Schluss gekommen, dass man damit Federn spannen kann, um die Dämpfer ausbauen zu können.
I like your videos, keep going! The philisophy of repairing what can be rapaired, minimalism, self-sustainability is very close to me.
It sounds dumb but wash the glasses with something like dawn dish liquid. it may help. sometimes just washing a motorcycle helmet like that clears fogging.
Yes upgrade would be good to see. Stay safe
Great recuses. Love the leg vice, mine was was stollen out of a shed 20 years ago.... 😕
Regarding glasses the fogging, get a silicon half mask such as the 3M 7500 series. The exhaust port is much better and down away from the glasses. Your sweat will still steam the glasses up but not breath so an improvement. Well it worked for me....
I wonder if the grinder had been used as either a polisher or wire wheel and that's why there was no tool rest
That grinder looks suspiciously like a lathe grinder.
The grinder is a tool post grinder to be used on a metal lathe.
You know that last huge vise with the long bottom. That the first time I seen that vise about 50 yr. LOL.
My dad in Honolulu Hawaii had that vise. And I use it a lot. Think it old Germany . See that big turning bar with the big knob at the end. You can smash between your thumb and index finger when it fall down Turning it around. . My starting memory LOL
Love the leg vise!
i just found one of these leg vises and it was out in the rain and snow for many any years . it will take a lot of work to make nice again. I am going to try to get good at spray welding to build up metal that has been pock marked and eroded away.
Eine andere Methode, um das Loch in den Schleifstein zu schneiden, besteht darin, geschmolzenes Blei in das Loch zu gießen und es dann auf die gewünschte Größe zu bohren.
We didn't have Spannzeuge-Schraubstöcke from GDR and they didn't häve Bananen in der DDR. Und jetzt ist es ausgeglichen. 👍👍👍
Wow, i need to find some local scrapyards. I moved to Ruhr district recently.
Definitely would like to see you upgrade/update some of the tools you've restored. With as many options as you have I think you should come up with a master list of options and have a subscriber vote off to determine the top 3 tools viewers want to see upgraded.
On that note, 👊 We have much respect for your values/approach as well as appreciate those like minded individuals that enjoy bringing these old treasures back to life again. 🍻Cheers mate!
You have no idea how I envy your ability to get so many quality German tools at salvage yards... :) Man, that East German vise!!!
den DDR schraubstock kenne ich gut seit meiner kindheit. er hat über jahrzehnte und unzähligen stunden gute dienste geleistet in vaters werkstatt/garage. den grauen farbton haste ziemlich perfekt getroffen.
diese kragenstecker waren früher standard allerdings hab ich selbst als elektriker zu DDR zeiten nie einen mit 3 kontakten gesehen.
I suggest it might have a wire wheel on it because it does not have a tool rest. A wire wheel or buffing wheel does not use a tool post. 👍😁🛠⚙️🇦🇺
