Keep up the good work
I am an old codger, becoming an Octogenarian in the middle of next month. I have watched your videos on Restoration. You are really an Artisan. Sadly, people like you are disappearing fast. The age of Repairs is gone. We live in a 'Throw Away' society making rich people even richer and poor even poorer. Restoration of this Drilling Machine is to make me go back to my childhood, when hand drills were common and it used to take quite a while to drill a hole in a Masonry Wall. We used matchsticks and wood shavings for Rawlplugs ..Thanks for loading this video. The restored drill is a treasure ...keep it up...
@MGTOW individualist shut up kid,you just want to make rich richer and the poor poorer,you are a regular 2019 kid who just watches 5 minute crafts and ASMR videos,and nothing productive and brag about how you have the newest things when you don't,also show some respect for the old man
all due respect, I think you'd be happy to know there's a sizeable movement in younger generations to build things, repair them. it's why videos like this are so popular, at least in part. "the maker movement" is a term often applied. as an example, I work in video game development and grew up with my face plastered to a screen. but at home, I practice woodworking and metalworking and learn machining and so on, just because it's interesting. I know our restorer here was careful with his welding repair, for example, because too much heat could cause the cast iron to expand and crack. not everyone likes the society we have. it's just difficult, and slow, to change.
@Анвар Апандиев - мне нравится тот факт, что этот человек обладает таким искусством в своем искусстве i love the fact this man has such craftsmanship in his artform
Watching you restore these old tools is mesmerizing. You really had your work cut out for you this time- had to use your beefiest tools. I love the Hammerite green finish and loved seeing it working at the end. Thanks for the lovely video... as always!
I agree, after seeing the restoration all i could think was; but will it drill? Great work and even better to see it doing the job it was meant to do all those years ago.
Was it just one split pin and one wooden part of a handle changed? 4 pieces of cast iron welding? That is what you call a restoration! Absolutely gorgeous and you’ve done a fantastic job. Another fantastic video.
A split pin is used as a retainer on a clevis, or to keep a castellated nut from backing out. That split pin should be a taper pin, the pin removed and subsequently broke appears to have been a field fix when the original pin went missing during a repair. Or at least that's my guess
Exceptional. You should consider investing in a Sand Blaster and Pressure washer. Normally after weld prep, Cast Iron is preheated to 600°F and then welded with 309 SS rod in short steps then covered with a heat proof blanket and allowed to cool slowly. Your repair came out looking very good, just don't bolt it down too tightly. Great Cat.
Guys, guys... with cast iron the best option is to braze it. You never get it up to critical temp, and thus don't have issues with brittleness. :) Always been the best option for cast...
As for Color Anything but White, I think the Dark Green you pick is good, Maybe some White or Gold Pinstripe for the Big wheel on top.. Dam This makes a nice Climbing Tree, BUT it need some padding so says your Chief inspector
This video is the best restoration i have ever seen! You did an excellent job, and you should be proud of all you have done to resurrect this tool that was probably the life dream and consumption of a mans life to make it real 140 years ago. Im sure he is proud. Thanks for no music

Je suis formidablement stupéfait de voir une perceuse de forgeron en état de fonctionnement, et un travail de précaution infini! Avec aussi l' assistant à quatre pattes tout aussi adorable à voir! Merci pour ce partage c' est formidable à voir...
I look at this drill from 1880 and I am amazed. Think of the mind of the person who designed it. Think of the skill and dedication of the foundry workers and machinists who built it. I have so much respect for them. We take so much for granted today. We need to look back more often and appreciate all that our forefathers have done for us. Beautiful job of restoration!!! Thank you for saving this piece of history.
Wonderfully done my friend. Every video you put out is better than the last but this one seems to have gotten exponentially better.The camera work and editing were fantastic. Thanks
From Lincoln Electric; Welding Techniques without Preheat The size of the casting, or other circumstances, may require that the repair be made without preheat. When this is the case, the part needs to be kept cool, but not cold. Raising the casting temperature to 100 degrees F is helpful. If the part is on an engine, it may be possible to run it for a few minutes to obtain this temperature. Never heat the casting so hot that you cannot place your bare hand on it. Make short, approximately 1” long welds. Peening after welding is important with this technique. Allow the weld and the casting to cool. Do not accelerate the rate of cooling with water or compressed air. It may be possible to weld in another area of the casting while the previous weld cools. All craters should be filled. Whenever possible, the beads should be deposited in the same direction, and it is preferred that the ends of parallel beads not line up with each other.
I know very little, but I know that welding cast iron is a bitch. The problem is heat stress, the filler shrinks and the casting doesn't, so without peening the weld, you are left with lots of stresses in the metal.
lo que me gusta de este tipo de canales es que no necesitan estar hablando o sobre exagerando nada para mantener mi interés en el vídeo porque el contenido en si es interesante
It would have been better to channel the parts and braze them back together. It would have been a much stronger repair since the brazed metal will flow into all of the cracks, rather than a surface weld where the extreme heat makes the cast iron hard and brittle, more likely to break again. I never like seeing people weld cast iron, as I've seen many parts ruined by failed welds that break later and are even more difficult to fix because you have to grind the now very hard weld and underlying hardened cast iron off before you can repair it again, if even possible.
love the video, suggestion, you should heat up the cast iron before welding and get yourself an inexpensive electrolysis set up for cleaning parts, you'll be glad you did
That dark green is a good color for this. I have noticed that some people who restore things like to use Hammerite. Never used it myself, but must be a good product.
Excellent work. I love seeing these pieces of history saved, especially when its the odd ducks like this. Who would think to preserve a massive vintage drill? ...Most people wouldnt, thats why stuff like this disappears to the annals of history or ironically becomes valuable because its rare. Good on you man. Now keep it preserved so it doesnt rust to dust again haha!
I'd like to compliment you on your careful disassembly of the drill. I've seen so much additional harm done to equipment by rushing and forcing things rather than using a little patience. Beautiful job.
Don't take this the wrong way, but the weld penetration in those cracks with cast iron that thick that wasn't preheated isn't that great and they'll reappear with use.
Once, in Year 2000, we wanted to weld a piano frame. Also cast iron. We also bought a suitable welding rod. It broke again in addition to welding. Failed. A flat spring from a truck is then placed underneath. Then we riveted. This thickened the frame. Because of this, we had to cut it out of wood so we could paste it in. It's still good. This is resistant to the 15 tonne pressure caused by the drawn strings. Maybe we needed a yellow cat for a successful weld. :D :D :D :D It's good to watch your videos. Greetings from Slovakia.
Such a great feeling you must get.....breathing new life into these old machines. Just think about the generations of hard workers before you that handled this old drill. Pretty cool!
That was a massive restoration. I think the automatic down feed is ingenious and I have never see such a complex hand drill before. It must have cost a year’s pay when new. Even though I generally go for machinery grey I like the green. Is the wheel on top a flywheel or for more leverage if required and I thought cast iron didn’t like being welded with out pre heating but you said you were trying to avoid to much heat by stitch welding. Is it better not to pre heat? Looking forward to part 2. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺
My great grandfather might have seen a drill just like this - he was born in 1846 - age 16 at the Battle of Shiloh. Really enjoyed seeing the drill and how you put it back together - thanks

@@johndifrancisco3642 . That's a Red Rex cat. They are the best. My first one was duely named Shoip Cat because that was where he hung out most of the time. The most curious and playful breed of cat there is.
@@Dave-ty2qp We had my uncle's Bridgeport in our garage and about 4 or5 outside cats that we took care of and they would love to sneak in there and then climb and sleep on it. One (Big Puss) even had her babies on it! She was a Tabby and a great mouser.
@@Dave-ty2qp Yep, sure do. The best was when I was tiling my bathroom walls and pressing them into the adhesive. I look to my side and there she is with both paws pressing against a tile and even moving her paws around. She was looking at me as if to ask if she was doing it right! That was Myrtle, one of 2 inside cats I had. I think that was one of the smartest things I've seen a cat do.
a year ago watching this, I said I wanted to find one like it. Last weekend, i found one! its not the exact same, its a post drill like my original drill vs a freestanding model, but its multi speed, has a big flywheel for momentum and can be run by line shaft or by hand! I bought it off an old saw-miller who was glad to see it go to be restored. This is a stunning job youve done

@@fordnut4914 wonderful input - however, i was more making my first comment in regards to the "you didn't" line (@gerald corbitt). I feel it's more engaging to share what you know by starting with "in my experience" rather than making a negative blanket statement about something that may have happened to you
Incredible! Well done although am sure you hear a lot of that. Always amazed by your work. Those of you gave thumbs down to LADB dont be such know it all's, respect the guys work. Or maybe you were just bored..... dont thumbs down something without actually watching the full video YBS.
Frank the preheating is done to reduce the tension in the cast iron. Big pieces of cast iron like this don’t need to be preheated but I bet the fine welder you are already knew this ...
@@gasamasan7072 I can't speak for Mr. Shaw, but I myself only weld occasionally and certainly not as a professional. So, I tend to stick the things that I have learned from professionals and the small amount of reading that I have done on the subject of welding. 45 kilo pieces of cast iron aren't exactly something I take a stick welder to everyday.
Ho già espresso i miei commenti per altri lavori, in quanto non conosco l'esecutore ma ho riconosciuto il suo gatto. Rinnovo i miei complimenti per la qualità del lavoro fatto.
And once more, the need for kitty times: 03:45 (sneak a peek in the left side of the screen) 06:24 (fluff feeling the ground) 10:13 (introducing the fluff) 11:19 (guardian fluffy Avril) 11:39 (another peek in the upper side of the screen) 11:43 (this time lower side) 15:01 (watch the lower right side, just a little fluff) 16:40 (Inspector Avril on duty) 23:40 (Watchcat fluffy Avril on duty) What color you ask. The cheapest maybe? Unless some certain color is necessary. By the way, quite the inertia coming from that huge wheel on top.
The process is called pickling. Soak rusted tools in a vinegar bath for several days. Remove from bath. Wash with water (if you want), but then IMMEDIATELY put them in an oil bath for a couple of days. Works wonders.
It's such a pleasure watching you restore a wonderful machine that at the time was made to last many many years years, restored back to life. a real love story
Wonderful, you and mymechanics are the best at this. I am ill in bed today so was so happy to find your video to entertain me and fill me with admiration. I'm mid-way through watching and will be sad when it's finished but have stopped briefly just to say - try not to film too much of your welding, it will damage the sensor on your camera.
I have a mid-sized version and also a smaller version of this drill press. Both have broken parts, but you just taught me how to fix cast iron! Thanks for the video.
Nice piece and great work, you are a craftsman. I can appreciate the difficulty in stick welding cast iron, great job. The big old square nut dates the piece, over a hundred years old and working as well as when it was new.
Beautiful work. A question for you... where do you get all of these old machines ? It looks like you live in a very rural area where there might be lots of old farms... ? Greetings from Southport UK
I make a bit of a habit to watch these on Fridays. Keep it up cause I dont know who would thumbs down but new or old videos I'm going to keep watching.
you can weld it if you keep it cold and do only an inch or half inch at a time and it looked like ductile iron thats why it welded up good without cracking
Sorinenato the preheating is done to reduce the tension in the cast iron. Big pieces of cast iron like this don’t need to be preheated but I bet the fine welder you are already knew this ...
@@mikemarler8224 it looked like he left a few gaps on the back side after welding, when you weld cast iron its best to not over do it like you would with steel because it adds a lot more stress. or it could have been lines from the grinder, either way it turned out good.
@@gasamasan7072 That's not a big piece of cast iron. Is small one. Engine blocks made of cast iron are heated before welding. But this is not an important/critical piece of cast iron , so those cracks are not important.
"Very Hard" pretty accurate while seeing such amazing old things, love the stuff you are doing, please keep going or soon old tech will be lost forever.
If it helps you out in your restorations at all, I'm a big fan of a particular wire wheel I use religiously at work for automotive repair. Grainger sells a .006" strand wheel that can operate up to 20,000 RPM and its part number is 3A204. I believe they're made by Westward. I never go without one always loaded onto one of my die grinders. They are pricey, but they're great for a lot of smaller places like the ones you're working in and clean off a lot of crap without any damage to the surface you're trying to restore. I like to use them particularly for cleaning aluminum surfaces because it will leave the original aluminum surface much more intact than most abrasives will. You can dig into an aluminum surface with too much force or other carelessness, but otherwise will preserve original machine tool marks in a machined surface. They tend to wear a nice radius into the outer perimeter of the wheel which is nice for getting into weirder spots. Do have safety glasses, as a minimum, handy though. I've picked strands out of my skin that have been there for days and I never knew it until I scratched the wrong way.

Есть спецэлектроды для сварки чугуна БЕЗ предворительного прогрева.mash-xxl.info/info/647977/ . Там не трещины , а не провар с наплывом металла, т.к. сварку делали с отрывом электрода.
12:41 I just love the look of fresh clean gears. It's almost soothing to the brain if you know what I mean...
Before: repulsive. After: beautiful piece of machinery! I can see Avril was a great help, what a lot of work!
Incredible! 😳👍 The only thing I'd do differently is replace that broken pin with one that appears original (1/4" bar stock with slits cut at the ends?) and paint it blue.
Magnificent work and so happy that the orange cat was in your video
Seems that Cats love machinery. All mine did.
@@johndifrancisco3642 . That's a Red Rex cat. They are the best. My first one was duely named Shoip Cat because that was where he hung out most of the time. The most curious and playful breed of cat there is.
@@Dave-ty2qp We had my uncle's Bridgeport in our garage and about 4 or5 outside cats that we took care of and they would love to sneak in there and then climb and sleep on it. One (Big Puss) even had her babies on it! She was a Tabby and a great mouser.
@@johndifrancisco3642. LOL John. They sure entertain us don't they.
@@Dave-ty2qp Yep, sure do. The best was when I was tiling my bathroom walls and pressing them into the adhesive. I look to my side and there she is with both paws pressing against a tile and even moving her paws around. She was looking at me as if to ask if she was doing it right! That was Myrtle, one of 2 inside cats I had. I think that was one of the smartest things I've seen a cat do.
a year ago watching this, I said I wanted to find one like it. Last weekend, i found one! its not the exact same, its a post drill like my original drill vs a freestanding model, but its multi speed, has a big flywheel for momentum and can be run by line shaft or by hand! I bought it off an old saw-miller who was glad to see it go to be restored. This is a stunning job youve done
I really like the green paint. You also have a nice peaceful yard. Keep Avril helping out in your videos as well. Keep up the good work.
Definetly in the top 10 restorations of all time!
Wow it's incredible to see that they had such precision machinery back then.

Well said, well said!
Hello my French friend! I love to watch you restoration the cherish history tools! I always smile every time you had time to pet and let your cat curious what you are working on and around the thing the cat curious, smell something. I'm very cat person. I love cat! :)
The absolute know-how and patience to do this type of restoration is commendable
You didn’t pre-heat that cast iron before welding all of the welds will crack
There are better ways to share what you know.
@@ryankaul8620 it's TRUE them welds wont last if he plans on using it regularly. If it's just for decorations it'll be fine.
@@fordnut4914 wonderful input - however, i was more making my first comment in regards to the "you didn't" line (@gerald corbitt). I feel it's more engaging to share what you know by starting with "in my experience" rather than making a negative blanket statement about something that may have happened to you
@@ryankaul8620 I appreciated your comment man, we all need to work on how we speak/interact with others as we grow.
Хорошая работа! Прекрасно смотреть на реставрацию каких-либо устройств
@@ladbrestoration а где вы взяли такую дрель?
Your like Bob Ross with a wire brush. Very relaxing to watch history come alive.
...and right here, we'll weld a happy little bead.
Just rescued one of these this week from a scrap yard --- nice restoration
I can’t believe you got all that crud off. Looks totally different. Great job.
Incredible! Well done although am sure you hear a lot of that. Always amazed by your work.
Those of you gave thumbs down to LADB dont be such know it all's, respect the guys work. Or maybe you were just bored..... dont thumbs down something without actually watching the full video YBS.
if its cast iron use oxy to avoid hot shorts and make sure you heat the whole thing up first and the it wont crack again.
I was thinking the same things. Watching them weld cold cast iron kind of made me cringe a little.
Frank the preheating is done to reduce the tension in the cast iron. Big pieces of cast iron like this don’t need to be preheated but I bet the fine welder you are already knew this ...
@@gasamasan7072 I can't speak for Mr. Shaw, but I myself only weld occasionally and certainly not as a professional. So, I tend to stick the things that I have learned from professionals and the small amount of reading that I have done on the subject of welding. 45 kilo pieces of cast iron aren't exactly something I take a stick welder to everyday.
Молодец класс мне удивительно старые времена были такие сверлильные станки в жизни первый раз вижу 👍👍👍👍👍

The dark green metallic paint was an excellent choice. Good repairs made to this obviously well-used machine. Nicely done.
Ho già espresso i miei commenti per altri lavori, in quanto non conosco l'esecutore ma ho riconosciuto il suo gatto. Rinnovo i miei complimenti per la qualità del lavoro fatto.

What color you ask. The cheapest maybe? Unless some certain color is necessary. By the way, quite the inertia coming from that huge wheel on top.
white vinegar works really well for removing rust.
The process is called pickling. Soak rusted tools in a vinegar bath for several days. Remove from bath. Wash with water (if you want), but then IMMEDIATELY put them in an oil bath for a couple of days. Works wonders.
@Al Morrison I'm familiar with its use only on concrete. As far as rusty metal goes, how careful do you have to be about soaking the item too long?
iam sick or ill ? i like watching these type of videos ...
It's such a pleasure watching you restore a wonderful machine that at the time was made to last many many years years, restored back to life. a real love story
Great craftsmanship. And thanks to the inspector cat for endorsing the artistry.
I love old tools. They are art
Wonderful, you and mymechanics are the best at this. I am ill in bed today so was so happy to find your video to entertain me and fill me with admiration. I'm mid-way through watching and will be sad when it's finished but have stopped briefly just to say - try not to film too much of your welding, it will damage the sensor on your camera.
Sure, Mymechanics and LADB are great!
true
try watching handtoolrescue
Thanks to you and Avril for another great video!
I have a mid-sized version and also a smaller version of this drill press. Both have broken parts, but you just taught me how to fix cast iron! Thanks for the video.
Nice piece and great work, you are a craftsman.
I can appreciate the difficulty in stick welding cast iron, great job.
The big old square nut dates the piece, over a hundred years old and working as well as when it was new.
That came out amazing. You do magnificent work. I love the color also.
Beautiful work. A question for you... where do you get all of these old machines ? It looks like you live in a very rural area where there might be lots of old farms... ? Greetings from Southport UK
I was wondering the same.
I miss the cat 😍
I love seeing items like this, from the past ,being salvaged and either displayed or actually used. Great Job!
I make a bit of a habit to watch these on Fridays. Keep it up cause I dont know who would thumbs down but new or old videos I'm going to keep watching.
WOW!!! What a magnificent beauty!!☺☺☺
Love the Hammerite Green,excellent choice!!!👍👍👍
Cast iron must be heated before welding. Just my 2 cents.
you can weld it if you keep it cold and do only an inch or half inch at a time and it looked like ductile iron thats why it welded up good without cracking
Sorinenato the preheating is done to reduce the tension in the cast iron. Big pieces of cast iron like this don’t need to be preheated but I bet the fine welder you are already knew this ...
It looked like some of the welds did crack.
@@mikemarler8224 it looked like he left a few gaps on the back side after welding, when you weld cast iron its best to not over do it like you would with steel because it adds a lot more stress. or it could have been lines from the grinder, either way it turned out good.
@@gasamasan7072 That's not a big piece of cast iron. Is small one. Engine blocks made of cast iron are heated before welding. But this is not an important/critical piece of cast iron , so those cracks are not important.
17:30 restore that wrench
What a lovely piece of industrial design. Somehow in those days machines had style as well as function ! Beautiful restoration.
Vrtačka je hezčí než nová,krásná práce,poplácejte kocourka.Zdravím vás oba.
It's all about the details. Well done the original designers and Craftsmen that built it would be proud.
Incroyable votre travail les gars! 🙌 Bravo!
"Very Hard" pretty accurate while seeing such amazing old things, love the stuff you are doing, please keep going or soon old tech will be lost forever.
If it helps you out in your restorations at all, I'm a big fan of a particular wire wheel I use religiously at work for automotive repair. Grainger sells a .006" strand wheel that can operate up to 20,000 RPM and its part number is 3A204. I believe they're made by Westward. I never go without one always loaded onto one of my die grinders. They are pricey, but they're great for a lot of smaller places like the ones you're working in and clean off a lot of crap without any damage to the surface you're trying to restore. I like to use them particularly for cleaning aluminum surfaces because it will leave the original aluminum surface much more intact than most abrasives will. You can dig into an aluminum surface with too much force or other carelessness, but otherwise will preserve original machine tool marks in a machined surface. They tend to wear a nice radius into the outer perimeter of the wheel which is nice for getting into weirder spots. Do have safety glasses, as a minimum, handy though. I've picked strands out of my skin that have been there for days and I never knew it until I scratched the wrong way.
