Antique Beam Drill Restoration

Pulled this from the display at the museum , it had a bit of borer in some of the timber which shouldn't be on it. as always I tried to return it back to its original and make it look like it's been used before.
A light restoration that took me a lot longer than i was planning but now looks great on display
If you'd like to support me in helping the museum to get more projects restored for display give us a like and a comment.
if you know museums or societies that have vintage stuff that want to be restored for free contact me

Always good to see old tools preserved and shown working. The Black & Decker generation would be flummoxed by such tools if they did not see them demonstrated.
An eco-tool - no electric power required!
Well done Richard

Amazing work! What's the go with heating all the bolts and screws with the torch after the HCL bath? Was that for hardening or was it something else?

[@richardrestorations]

to blacken the bolts and protect or rust

Thanks for the sub!

[@Anrakyr]

Very beautiful restoration. I really liked how you restored the wooden parts. The nuts at the base of the structure are not factory-made, the original nuts are square and with a 3/8 thread, you had to tighten the m10 nuts a little tighter because of the different thickness of the rod.Although the difference of 0.475mm is not particularly noticeable.
