Antique Hand Drill Tool Restoration (Bit Brace)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 лют 2019
- This hand drill (more specifically this tool is called a brace) also belonged to my grandfather. I found it in the same toolbox as the masonry caulk trowel and adjustable wrench that I restored in previous videos. This brace was also looking very rusty and the wood was looking worse for ware. I figured I'd get rid of the rust, restore the wood and polish up the exposed metal to make it look nice.

A nice improvement. Well done.
It turned out better then I thought it would. Great job friend.
10/10 mate, awesome restoration of your grandfathers drill.
Nice job as always! Glad to see that you used the original wood. Very pretty
Looks great!!
Super awesome job!
Lovely job.
Wow. Nice job getting the pitting out. Looks great.
Very good restoration job 🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍👍
Captivating, seriously
Fantastic
Nice job.
Got one still use it. Look good
Very nice, a beautiful restoration as always. I have a ratchet brace and bit I need to do some restoration on.
This is a great example of patience, determination, and lots and lots of sand papers in various grits to get that shine. Keep going. #throwawaythethrowawayculture
I watched, I liked, I subscribed. Keep up the good work!
Impressive
Good job Mister. What did you use for the wood ? Never seen such product before. Let us know please
it was a simple restore yes but an outstanding one in frame focused and detail caught looks very nice but after seeing the bit and brace thank god for the modern cordless drill huh!
Pete Peterson I see you on all of these restoration videos
You've done a really nice job on bringing out the natural beauty of the tool. Hope it gets used instead of sitting on a shelf somewhere.

I wish you'd demonstrate it. I have my grandfathers's still works great, a little oil now and then, got to put my back into it.

Nice.
Przepiękne jest ten bardzo odrestaurowane pozdrawiam serdecznie 👍👍👍👍👍
My arms would fall off with all that sanding!! Wow
Looks great bro, I'm sure your grandfather would be proud to see it now
I love your videos.... Ever try to learn how to Peen the Handle Rivets?
Nice job !!!! Do you put anything on the metal to keep it shiny . I picked up 2 of these , they look identical to the pre-restoration of yours , only seized solid , it should be a satisfying restore .
There's a bare metal rust/corrosion prevention product that I used in the video called Boeshield T-9. It comes in an aerosol can. As far as un-seizing the chuck goes: I have been really impressed at how effective evapo-rust is. It's also super gentle on plastic parts that you don't want to ruin and you can re-use it if the solution isn't completely saturated with rust when you're done. The only down side is that you might end up having to let it soak for a few days if the part is really rusty.
Good luck!
Incredible change, thank You for sharing. What did you use on the wood to finish?
It looked like varathane polyurathane
I have one of these I want to restore the same way. What was the white chemical used on the wood work ?
Amazing job, just a question, what is the product that you used for the wood?
Polyurethane
I inherited allot of my great grandfathers tools, but I don't feel comfortable restoring them, even though i've restored many things I just can't work up my nerve, I don't think I will because I like them how they are and I wanna leave them how they are, I rarely use them anyway except the files
just one question, should you apply grease or oil to the chuck threads and mechanism before assembly?
It is a good practice, better for it long-term in storage/infrequent use, as well as preservation of the threads during repeated opening and closing of the chuck to exchange bits.
Upsides: everything
Downsides: a bit messier
Just a quick question what did you use on the handle for this resto?

he shows it in the vid, it polyurethane
Hello I am writing from Argentina, I need, the measures of the lemitas of the drill bit to be able to do the same, since I do not get it, thank you very much, I am translating with the google, greetings
What is the white stuff in the can that you coat the wood with ?
Very nice. You forgot to get rid of the pitting in the collar and in the handle pieces.
What's the white stuff in the can at 7:10?
Alguien sabe dónde puedo conseguir en CDMX el sujetador de la broca
The "jaws" on yours seem to be a single unit, but mine are two separate parts shaped just like yours... no spring or anything, just that pin on one side that corresponds to the hole on the other jaw. Really seems sloppy when re-assembled. I can make out the Oxwall on one side, but on the other side all I can make out for sure are the letters AN. Is that just how the jaws are? Sloppy feeling? Thanks!..
👍👍👍
Nice work - a new life for your grandfather's tools
No ratchet mechanism with smooth springless jaws. How old is that thing???
I'd love to send you some NOS bits for that brace if you'd like, that came from my grandfather as well. Just say yes and there on there way to you.....
Yes
👏👏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍🥃🥃🥃
Man I got one like this in about the same shape. I’d pay for you to restore it
You went to a great deal of work to get the pitting problem eliminated on the main part of the tool and polished it, and then you shocked me when you just simply cleaned the collar and put it back on. I think you should have cleaned up the knurling on the collar with a file and then polished it to bring it up to what you did with the rest of the tool. Nice restoration otherwise.
Braced myself for where you screwed it up. At least it wasn't boring.
where di he screw it up???
Tool bad the screws and the other parts that were pitted weren't polished to make a perfect restoration

As much as I want to watch, the fact you're not wearing gloves to remove the parts from the rust remover and when you wire-brush them, makes me uncomfortable.
Good job, but look after your hands - they're your tools and you can't restore them if they're damaged.
It builds character.
Many people, I am one of them, prefer not to use gloves with a wire brush or this kind of tool.
The brush will slip on your skin, maybe hurt a bit, but a glove will be "hooked" and your hand will start spinning with the motor.
You don't want this :)
It is possible to remove the rust without destroying the collectable value of the tool. An old tool that has been refinished like this is worthless from a collectors viewpoint.
I would not waste my time trying to restore a brace like that. The pitting was far too deep on the shell making it less valuable. Also, those particular braces are very very old and aren't as cool as ones with ball bearings & ratcheting. I collect the rare and best looking ones. My favorite us the Stanley 10". Something about it gives me the fizz. Anyway, I think you did a really nice job despite the pitting.
Less valuable? I don't think there is any "antique value" to them to begin with. There are millions of them still out there.
@@johnblanton9969 there is value is the rare ones and in the Stanley ones which are still being used today. You can get between $10 & $20 for a brace that is in excellent condition.
