Subbed! Finally a restoration channel that isnt fake. Was getting real tired sorting out the hundreds of fake resto channels that just dunk tools in salt water for a couple days then remove the fake rust and paint and call it a restoration.
I have also restored one of the same units, this was for a friend, and the end results was very surprising to myself. After I managed to restore this Drill Press, as in this video, I wanted to to do a test run with the most difficult of metals, stainless steel, I was very hesitant, bus decided to use a test with a 2 mm dia drill, on a 3mm thick piece of stainless steel plate, I have worked on CNC lathes as a programmer, setter, operator, so I am aware of the need for accuracy, and also the difficulty in cutting Stainless/Steel, the end result of this old drill press, was surprising to myself, it is a great piece of Old kit to have in the workshop. and I would recommend, anyone, including myself, restoring one for oneself..
And there we are. Another beautiful job done. So, you are in England (Fairy Soap). No wonder you find such interesting tools. Here in the states, we have less choice but all the oldies were very well made and clean up nicely. Enjoying your channel.
I am in the middle of restoring a very similar model of drill and was struggling to get the centre shaft out, since watching your video I realised that the top wheel had moved up the shaft slightly covering the two nuts on top. A couple of taps with a copper hammer and, hey presto, the nuts were ready to undo! Many thanks for the online tutorial!
I don’t know why I continue to watch your videos. I know how they will end. Maybe it’s because I’m fascinated with 100+ year old engineering and design. Or maybe because despite modern improvements in technology, we still don’t build them to last like the old ones. I appreciate you restoring these old objects to as new, or even better than new condition. I also appreciate when you use constraint and don’t over restore. Some patina can be beautiful and not every metal should be painted.
Many thanks for this, as I have just acquired the same drill exactly, and it has helped me dismantle it. Good tips for cleaning with the wire brush attachments, my one is in very good shape to begin with, but needs cleaning , am hoping to leave original paint which is red on the gear wheels, and simply polish the rest up.
I saw someone restore a spiral ratcheting screw driver today. I’d never seen a screw driver like it before. You press down and the spiral section turns with the ratchet and drives the screw really fast. I’ve looked around and can’t find any instance of the mechanism being used on a drill press. You could increase the size of the spiral ratcheting mechanism and install it inside of an arbor press and have a drill press that works without a motor or wheel. It would be such a cool idea. Using two old tools to create a modern machine in the spirit of the old ones.
Nice job. I've always wanted one of those. You should try Craftsman brushing enamel on cast iron instead of spray cans. It gives a traditional looking finish on cast iron and no need for primer.
wow cool piece and nice work. i found myself in need of a relaxing hobby so i started a 3 in 1 hobby western replica,s these days made with plastic so i wanna make my own wooden parts using old tools. so i bought a vintage pillar drill myself just seen bad photo,s but thining its really cool and im gonna fix it up to. a nice relaxing job ;) so i was looking for similar idea,s and found this cool video. thanks for the inspiration keep up the good work
A very good and thorough restoration. I remember these pillar drills very well. Perhaps you could have welded up the divets made by drill bits in the base table and then ground it flat again.
@@jxavier3876 well, I haven't got to it yet, too many irons in the fire. It's coming soon though. Mine has a broken table that I think I'll braze and it's not as nice as yours.
I wonder if the cranking handle is so flat and wide because it was designed to be run by hand or belt selective or just acting as a flywheel or what. Superb work all around I am so glad I found your chan
@@mytinyworkshop1213 cool. Wonder if a belt on it would work. Not that I'd try with a vintage one but if anyone ever replicated one id totally run it off a weedwhacker engine lol. Be infinitely variable speed hahaha
I didn’t even bother watching this video simply because My Tiny Workshop chose to let us see the finished product in the thumbnail before we even watched the video. All of the fun and suspense of seeing it completely restored the at the end is now GONE!! Please restorers, don’t post the completed project before your viewers get to see you do the restoration. You spoil it for us!!!
buen dia hermoso trabajo ,por favor me dirias cmo aflojar el mandril? esta soldado por la herrumbre de muchos años. un dfia en kerosene logre aflojar los tres dientes pero creo q son dos partes. muchas gracias
I couldn't tell what kind of pentetrant you were using, but switch to 50-50 mix of acetone and ATF.. Apply it about 8 hrs before you start your restoration.. It will probably loosen things up enough that you don't snap the heads off of bolts.. BTW, great job...
I like these restoration videos but I always wish people would narrate a little bit what they are doing, what chemicals/solutions/compounds they use, what sprays, how to remove broken screws, etc. either way, nice work.
Nice restoration. Is there any way that post corrosion pitting could be filled chemically like galvanization, nickel , chrome or copper electroplating?
Great attention to detail with the paintwork and removing the casting marks. I definitely think it was the right choice not to weld the drill marks, they are part of the history of the tool.
Hi . Could you tell me what brand of tape you are using to mask the cogs up before painting . And just wondering what oil you are putting on the bare metal at the end of the video .
Hi! Amazing work! I would like to use this drill model for a college assignment. Do you have any paperwork, drawings or dimensions that you could give me? Sorry for entering in contact with you this way, but I couldn't think of any other way.
TheJR1948 also Knolling the parts out in the order you pulled them apart and loosely putting screws and pins back into the holes you removed them from so as not to lose them.
I'm always disappointed when I see you use filler on cast iron just to make it smooth. Cast iron is not supposed to be smooth. The roughness is essential for it's character. and you take it out with filler.
I agree. You might like today’s new video. I’m releasing in a few hours. No filler used. I’m starting to really appreciate the perfect imperfections of the casting marks.
Great video and 1st class restoration ! - Well done. If I was you and restoring this drill press, If available, I would use my welder to gently weld / fill in all those nasty drill holes in the base casting and then grind all them level, If done well, it would be very hard to spot the damage and your drill would be even better. What a great shame the people who owned your drill press before you didn't bother to put a thick scrap of wood over the cast iron base BEFORE drilling whatever they were making .... Thumbs Up ! - I enjoyed your video :-)
While that's certainly true and might disqualify such a restoration as a "true" resto-to-original, I think it's a nice touch, especially if you intend to use the machine/object on a regular basis. What's most important is that it was saved from the scrap heap and is here for those of us that enjoy "old iron" to admire and appreciate.
Evaporust is $17/gallon in the US, and can be used many times compared to vinegar which is mostly used up and even when cheap is $3-4/gallon. Just an observation
I live in the uk. It cost me $15 to fill this bucket with vinegar. I use it for 4-6 months. The equivalent amount in evaporate will cost $200. Feel free to check out my newer videos. I now use evapo rust. Money is not an unlimited resource.
No knurling has been restored on the body of the drill chuck. Cast iron has a surface texture. I would advise her to keep. It is stylish. A flap wheel and putty kill historicity. But these are my nitpicking. Good work anyway.
just a heads up its cast iron, you never shock cast as it will put micro cracks in the material, I hope you dont do any more, "restorations" in this way, its a shame to see these old machines treated so badly
Ever so sorry, most of my latest videos now have demos. I stopped adding demos for a while because a large proportion of people wouldn’t watch it. Now I’m changing my ways to cater for the minority that appreciate the whole video.
Well done on the restoration.
Finally someone whom doesn't do video in fwd👍
Thank you.

Very nice tool, another very nice job.
Awesome job. Fine addition to any woodworking shop,
Thank you
A worthy project, nice job
Beautiful job. A good demonstration to restorers of what can be accomplished with patience and attention to detail. Thanks from the USA.
Thank you very much, I’m glad you like it
That's a fantastic video you have posted 👍👍 , restoration at its best 👍👍
Thank you, much appreciated.
I really wish you hadn’t chosen such perfect colors. It would have given me something to think I could improve on. Great job!
。。
And there we are. Another beautiful job done. So, you are in England (Fairy Soap). No wonder you find such interesting tools. Here in the states, we have less choice but all the oldies were very well made and clean up nicely. Enjoying your channel.
Thank you very much, yes I am in the Uk. Glad you like the channel
Very fine work!!!
Thank you
Beautiful craftsmanship.
Thank you
OUTSTANDING!
Thank you
I would have just started using it as it was at the 0:35 mark.

Cool, I’m so glad this has helped you.
Great restoration, like the colours you used, they go well together 😎👍
Thank you very much. I did spend a bit of time thinking of the colour combo. Glad you like it
Fantastic work you are good man this tool was very older and strong god please for it☺
Thank you. Glad you liked it
It is a thing of beauty. Nice video

Beautiful work, like the red/black combo!
What a fantastic job you are a craftsman it looks fantastic thanks for sharing your time and skill 🍺🍺👍👍👍👍👍👊
GREAT JOB!!! nice drill restoration. What was old and rusted--------is brand new again.
Great job.
That's cool man, I dig them old drill presses
Nice job, well done indeed
Great work. I really like your choice of paint. The contrasting colours look great.
Nicely done!
That was an excellent job!
Wow nice clean up great job
Hi bro 👋👋👋 good to see you 🤝🤝🤝very good restoration drill 👍👍👍
great job!!! Congratulations
Thank you
I love any project involving cast iron - well done friend!
Nice video
Very nice work, spectacular.👏👏👏👏
I inherited a No 5 like this, watching this helped me understand I a lot better. good job, thanks
I’m very happy to hear my video has helped you.
I’ve just been given a number 4, I’m planning on doing the very same with it. 👍
Many thanks for this, as I have just acquired the same drill exactly, and it has helped me dismantle it.

Enjoyed your video and gave it a Thumbs Up
Very nice! I just bought a post mount drill press at an auction the other day, I'm planning on a similar resto.
How did it go?
@@jxavier3876 well, I haven't got to it yet, too many irons in the fire. It's coming soon though. Mine has a broken table that I think I'll braze and it's not as nice as yours.
Word from the wise, never hit two hammers together. Cost me three weeks in hospital with shrapnel injuries when I was younger.
beautiful machine.
Nice tear down and clean up. Beautiful restoration. Awesome drill, never saw one like that before.
this is a nice hand crank drill machine and you has make a good work bye
Great work nice finish would like to get my restoration projects this good
Thank you. Anything is possible with a bit of time perseverance and stress.
@@mytinyworkshop1213 keep it up I'm getting some great tips from watching your videos thanks
Thank you. I’m glad my videos are helping. I’m constantly learning with every project I do.
@@mytinyworkshop1213 thanks keep it up
I would like to see it working more
Wow! Well Done! The paint makes this look like it came out of a hot rod shop! Very cool! T-Wrecks
I wonder if the cranking handle is so flat and wide because it was designed to be run by hand or belt selective or just acting as a flywheel or what. Superb work all around I am so glad I found your chan
Thank you. It was designed to work by hand.
@@mytinyworkshop1213 cool. Wonder if a belt on it would work. Not that I'd try with a vintage one but if anyone ever replicated one id totally run it off a weedwhacker engine lol. Be infinitely variable speed hahaha

Duly noted. Feel free to check out my latest videos. I only put the before picture now.
Great job ! Difficult to find a spot for this tool in a tiny workshop however.
Very difficult indeed, it resides 1 ft from where the picture was taken.
good job.. u could drilled something as a test at the end of video
Olá, ficou esplêndida, muito caprichado, parabéns!!!!
buen dia hermoso trabajo ,por favor me dirias cmo aflojar el mandril? esta soldado por la herrumbre de muchos años. un dfia en kerosene logre aflojar los tres dientes pero creo q son dos partes.
muchas gracias
Great job. I would have gone for a 'primary' red instead of a red-orange. But it's not too late.
Attention to detail.. almost unbelievable. Do you reach a "zen" state when you're cleaning each item? It's like wow!
Thanks you. Sometime it’s calming sometimes it’s stressful.
Excellent job! I love that you took the time to file the castings.
I couldn't tell what kind of pentetrant you were using, but switch to 50-50 mix of acetone and ATF.. Apply it about 8 hrs before you start your restoration.. It will probably loosen things up enough that you don't snap the heads off of bolts.. BTW, great job...
Supergoed 👍
I like these restoration videos but I always wish people would narrate a little bit what they are doing, what chemicals/solutions/compounds they use, what sprays, how to remove broken screws, etc. either way, nice work.
Nice, do you suppose the holes in the back were possibly to hold different drill bits?
Nice
Nice restoration. Is there any way that post corrosion pitting could be filled chemically like galvanization, nickel , chrome or copper electroplating?

Молодец 👍 ждём новый видео
A littl demonstration would be great
Hi . Could you tell me what brand of tape you are using to mask the cogs up before painting . And just wondering what oil you are putting on the bare metal at the end of the video .
Have you attached a drill press vise to it? If so what did you end up going with, or if not, any suggestions? I have pretty much the same model press.
Hi! Amazing work! I would like to use this drill model for a college assignment. Do you have any paperwork, drawings or dimensions that you could give me? Sorry for entering in contact with you this way, but I couldn't think of any other way.
Nice Drill Press! Do you use it in your Workshop?
How do you remember the way everything goes back together? Impressive as always
TheJR1948 also Knolling the parts out in the order you pulled them apart and loosely putting screws and pins back into the holes you removed them from so as not to lose them.
what year were these made ?
Anybody know what these drills are worth ? found a Bradson No1. today, had never seen one until today
Sadly I can’t help you there.
About £20-50 is what they sell for. People do ask £80+ but they don't sell.
I want more finished footage
I'm always disappointed when I see you use filler on cast iron just to make it smooth. Cast iron is not supposed to be smooth. The roughness is essential for it's character. and you take it out with filler.

Beutiful machine
👏👏👏 e o que e que isso dair faz mesmo.
perfeito
Why in the world do you use vinegar when there are so much better alternatives available? I can see how the vinegar etched the parts
Vinegar is the best I could afford at the time. I don’t have an unlimited budget to make these free videos.
Evaporust is $17/gallon in the US, and can be used many times compared to vinegar which is mostly used up and even when cheap is $3-4/gallon. Just an observation
I live in the uk. It cost me $15 to fill this bucket with vinegar. I use it for 4-6 months. The equivalent amount in evaporate will cost $200. Feel free to check out my newer videos. I now use evapo rust. Money is not an unlimited resource.
Hmmmm viniga. That's what I always use. M
Oh yes, cheap and simple.
No knurling has been restored on the body of the drill chuck.
Cast iron has a surface texture. I would advise her to keep. It is stylish.
A flap wheel and putty kill historicity.
But these are my nitpicking. Good work anyway.
Thanks for sharing your honest thoughts. Since this restoration I have learnt to love the casting marks.
Hammerite paint brushes on and looks MUCH better on cast iron, and rust proofs better.
I agree, I wanted to try a new paint out.
May add the electric motor and pulley
Good idea
I can't believe you didn't show it shifting gears 😒
just a heads up its cast iron, you never shock cast as it will put micro cracks in the material, I hope you dont do any more, "restorations" in this way, its a shame to see these old machines treated so badly
Класс, класс, класс.
You didn’t demo it at the end! Disappointed ☹️
