Tony Bell I used them to prove a point. Not one nut was damaged. It's not the tools, it's the hands that use them. We had a ton of views from young men all around the world without access to a quality set of tools. I want them to know that they can get the job done with a few simple tools. Hope this helps.
Owain, because people like you believe this is precisely why I ask Channel makers not to promote bad engineering practise, I like this channel and am a subscriber
Tony Bell if use them correctly they don’t damage anything I’ve been working with metal since I was 11 it’s not bad engineering if use them correctly if don’t adjust them correctly. I totally agree they can damage the nut and bolt but so can wrenches if they don’t fit correct it’s no different
A lot of the fasteners were square head and unlikely damaged by an adjustable. Go polish your thousand dollar snap on wrench set so you can take the seat off your pink bike and ride it
I absolutely love the knurling trick with the file and vise. Never seen that before. That made my day. When you think you know all the little tricks think again. Absolutely awesome.
So cool that CRC and Weld-Aid sponsor your channel. I live in Baltimore and I always use CRC products. That was another awesome restoration Justin. If you keep working hard and keep your nose clean, great things are coming your way.
Man keep up the good work. You never cease to amaze me by all the way you come up with ways of making stuff. I wish there was more people like you who care about the items from the past. I love seeing all the old tools and tractors.👍👍👍
I love LFG I knew that was him in the first clip. Justin you may not realize this but you truly have a God Given gift for this kind of work I love watching you do this kind of stuff to me its almost like an artist at work. Thanks for sharing These are my favorite videos from you. Have a great day. God Bless!!!
I just got done restoring the same grinder a couple of weeks ago. Wish I knew who made these and when. Mine is exactly like it but the pedals are fancier and cast. The thing that helped me the most was evaporust. It saved a lot of grinding and wire brushing.
Cardio and Craftsmanship... there is something therapeutic about restoring old tools that most people would throw away and make new again... good job as always
When the video first started I thought that some of the close ups were too close but then you must have thought so too. Your shots after those first two or three were great. I could see enough detail to know what you were doing and enough overall to know what part you were working on. Thank you so much for sharing the restoration of this piece of industrial history. I am not in a position to do this kind of thing myself but I really enjoy watching you and others do so. I hope you will be able to continue your useful and important work.
I noticed you left out the thrust washers on large gear shaft. I can only assume that you had caught this and corrected it before final assembly and just did not film it! Great restoration job! Congrats on the new sponsor and 117,000 subs!
I love the way these old tools were made to last a lifetime and longer with just a little repair or maintenance work. Now everything seems to be 'No user servicable parts' and the manufacturer just wants you to buy a new one as often as possible. Nice job, glad you kept the character.
Ok, Ok! I've been watching your videos recently and ... WHERE DID YOU LEARN ALL THESE THINGS!? I am mechanically inclined, and am not timid about working with tools, BUT, putting the knurling on the brass screw the way you did would NEVER have occurred to me. NEVER! I am in awe!!
+dallasjesuit UA-cam. No joke, I learned alot from UA-cam videos. Trust me, you know things that would cause me to react the same way. I love it when people share their knowledge. It makes us all better, more skilled! I literally looked it up on UA-cam.
Justin. You rock dude! and I buy CRC for my projects too. their break free stuff and their anti rust stuff that turns it black is awesome. Keep up the good good work sir and btw...you have great taste in music.
Wonderful restoration like always. Happy to hear that you got a good sponsor, that will help your channel for sure. I think I found your channel when it was around 20k and have enjoyed watching it grow. The videos has done nothing but get better and better as you grow. Thank you for starting your channel, a place to come and watch things get made or restored. :)
I really hope that I can come down there soon!!! The videos are as good as they always have been, and that's why you made that 100, 000 mark. Keep up the great work!!!
Loved this project! I've always wanted a working one of these to sharpen my axes with - I love my axes and use them a fair bit, and I hand sharpen them with stones. Then I took a trip to Grindstone City, Michigan and saw all of the grindstones there - some so big I don't think even my truck could move them - and got fired up about the treadle grinder idea again. There's a house on my running route that had a grinding-wheel size stone set out as decoration and half buried, and when they moved I picked it up for $20. I have no idea where I'd get the treadle from, but I'd love to get this thing working again. Loved your work!
You make this look so easy that I’m tempted to ignore my bench grinder long enough to go find and buy one of those. And my goodness does it look beautiful
Another great job done once the wheel is on it will look like a brand new one. Nice looking bass going fishing today to relax and have a little fun. Keep up the great video's
I just figured out you were at the old mill pond museum after seeing the UA-cam sign out in the ditch I work right down the street and never put 2 and 2 together
Love your work and dedication, not trying to be an internet ninja, but I twitched every time (bar once) when you used that adjustable wrench, maybe it's cause we're "upside" down in Australia but I was taught use them the other way round (torque on the "heel" not the adjustable "toe")
Yep 'willie fox', guess it wasn't just a trigger for me, like when people place wood planes down on their face and not their side (twitch).......but hey everyone does things differently and that's ok, easily forgiven......I'm not nuts.....I mean......not my nuts......or knuckles.
Love the restoration. Can you imagine having to actually use that thing for any serious grinding! Seems like a lot more gearing is needed to increase the wheel speed.
Awesome of CRC. I need a CRC hat! hint. I'm better at taking things apart than putting back together, lol. That seat is in my video! There's the brass fitting. Nice job Justin! A lot of work! Got some exercise!
Greetings from England You got a thumbs up here... Thinking on your feet there Justin when it came to those brass plugs... See if you can find an old lathe for that museum...then get a bit of tooling for it...😉
Ha! I was going to ask the same thing. I was wondering how he'd get them back in there. I thought maybe he put a little grease on the gear and stuck the washers where they needed to go.
Really making stuff that’s an antique perfect takes the history and when it was made away from it. Plus imperfections gives it character. Just fix the mechanical side of things. Just enough so it smokes and goes and other side works.
congrats brother on 100k did you apply for your button be nice to see that video . cool work on the grinder . good to see old pieces like that come back to life . have a great day
You have just restored a 1950's gym static bike eheheheh. I totaly agree with keeping the tools like they where, they where made to be functional and durable not preety. I like this youtube channel.
It is ment to have oil in her. Gave her a light coat for corrosion protection. It's going in the museum and will never be used so I want to keep her clean.
heavy oil sticks better but any thing is better than nothing . Right. hey BTW don't think you can forge a slick id like to start some timber framing but cant find any of the tools about ( affordably at least )
Congrats on passing 100k subs, look forward to seeing you unbox that play button when it arrives! Loved seeing you make the new brass screws, but I got lost when you were hammering on the file in the vise. What was that step?
+Dave W it's in there. I did miss it but I caught it and put it in. That video clip isn't as smooth so I use this one. Good eye! I never thought anyone would notice!
this is true but its so much easier to do a good job with the proper tools and i know hes a serious restorer this will not work for everything. no slight to the skill or method but one should try to do the best they can right tool for the job and all you know.
i'm defiantly not with you there . a used lathe can be quite reasonable if you hunt around . i traded 2 cases of wine for my horizontal mill . gotta keep your eyes out
![Asbestos Shingle Cutter [Restoration]](/img/n.gif)
With 117K any chance of getting some decent wrenches, always makes me wince to see those awful adjustables and the damage they do to both nut and bolt
Tony Bell I used them to prove a point. Not one nut was damaged. It's not the tools, it's the hands that use them. We had a ton of views from young men all around the world without access to a quality set of tools. I want them to know that they can get the job done with a few simple tools. Hope this helps.
As long as you adjust it so it fits nicely they don’t damage them

A big thank you to CRC from a fan of the channel
You make these things look and work better than new.
Thank you for letting my cousin and I be on your video.
+cool kay Absolutely! It was nice meeting you!
Man keep up the good work. You never cease to amaze me by all the way you come up with ways of making stuff. I wish there was more people like you who care about the items from the past. I love seeing all the old tools and tractors.👍👍👍
+James Ratliff Thanks James!
congrats on getting a sponsor you truly deserve it as you do great work for that museum
That technique for knurling was absolutely brilliant!!!
Bryan Keith - was that what was going on with the file in the vice?
The brass parts fab was AMAZING!!!!
Love your machine shop. The way things use to get done.
so very cool. as a guy who sits at a desk all day (attorney), I am so amazed at how you are able to rebuild that piece of equipment. very cool
I'm happy CRC has come aboard.for you. I used their products at work before I retired. Their towels were always in my work truck!
Good for leaving it alone - it will; look like it did originally. And isn't that the way it should be at a museum?
Love it!
I love LFG I knew that was him in the first clip. Justin you may not realize this but you truly have a God Given gift for this kind of work I love watching you do this kind of stuff to me its almost like an artist at work.

+nashguy207 Thanks Brother!

I love seeing how you put the knurling on the thumb screws. I have often wished I could get some more texture on some old thumb screws. Awesome video.
Good results with the improvised hand drill lathe. Great lil trick
Man, loved this video! The self made parts was a great demo of ingenuity, never would have thought of the knurling technique.
+Floyd Farms I learned it all from youtube😁

I remember my grandpa having a similar grinder. Cool restoration video.
Simple but effective. Nice restore!
Awesome job, man! This channel inspired me to join my local museum and assist them with some major restoration projects
Awesome!
Great restoration keep up the good work
Great work on this restoration.👍
I noticed you left out the thrust washers on large gear shaft.
I can only assume that you had caught this and corrected it before final assembly and just did not film it!
Great restoration job! Congrats on the new sponsor and 117,000 subs!
+Steven De Gonia You are correct. Good eye!
I love CRC products, have several of them in my garage. Their Mass Air Flow sensor cleaner saved me from having to replace the sensor.
I love the way these old tools were made to last a lifetime and longer with just a little repair or maintenance work.
Now everything seems to be 'No user servicable parts' and the manufacturer just wants you to buy a new one as often as possible.
Nice job, glad you kept the character.
chris osh, I agree with your comment. And thanks for not making me comment The Exact same thing, literally 😂😂!
Really cool find! I enjoyed the restoration video.
Ok, Ok!

Looks great, sounds grate and I love it. Good job.
Love the knurling
I very much like the style of your videos. Thank you for a nice relaxing watch. Great work on the restorations as well.😃
Great job Brother!

Looks like a delicious bass!
Well done on this restoration!!!
Congrats my friend, and it’s about time for a new one lol
Congrats on hitting over 100k subscribers.
Cool grinder! Never seen one like that before
thank you for restoring it like it was and not making it wat it was not ! old tools should be that way :)
Congratulations on the 100K! I'm gonna use that knurling idea for soft metals.
Love your vids and always watch the Googans while working on stuff myself.
Nice trick with the vice and the file!
Great Resto there, J Keep em coming Friend ! ATB T God Bless
Nice job. I'd like to get down there sometime and check out the museum
+Richard Clark Come see us!
I was just think last night.....I need me a Good of the Land video. 😁
Thanks for the restore fix, better than crack. 😅
Funny 🎣 bits throughout.
I have never seen a forge weld done with a single hit that impressive I have only ever seen people forge weld with small repeated hit to get started
Good thing the museum is right next to Lowe’s.
Nice restoration. You get a work out and get to sharpen your tools. Cheers Justin.
Nathan4071 my words exactly
Great work
I have always wanted one of those sharpeners for my little business!
I just figured out you were at the old mill pond museum after seeing the UA-cam sign out in the ditch I work right down the street and never put 2 and 2 together
Great restoration of a exercise machine!
Keep up the work(out)!
Looks like a good workout machine.
hi my name is terry im from the uk and id just like to say im so glad you have over £100k followers i enjoy your channel very much keep it up
I've watched a few videos and decided to subscribe.
Nice project and nicely done. I am building a more low-tech one in "my" museum.
As usual, good job and congrats on the subs.
Love your work and dedication, not trying to be an internet ninja, but I twitched every time (bar once) when you used that adjustable wrench, maybe it's cause we're "upside" down in Australia but I was taught use them the other way round (torque on the "heel" not the adjustable "toe")
+Bunyip Dan Thanks Dan!
I went looking for this comment i am not a troll but watching him use almost all of his tools backwards was bugging me .
Oh you mean the thumb detecting nut fucker lmao love the old square head wrench, they are awsome
Yep 'willie fox', guess it wasn't just a trigger for me, like when people place wood planes down on their face and not their side (twitch).......but hey everyone does things differently and that's ok, easily forgiven......I'm not nuts.....I mean......not my nuts......or knuckles.
Love the restoration.
Can you imagine having to actually use that thing for any serious grinding! Seems like a lot more gearing is needed to increase the wheel speed.
Awesome of CRC. I need a CRC hat! hint. I'm better at taking things apart than putting back together, lol. That seat is in my video! There's the brass fitting. Nice job Justin! A lot of work! Got some exercise!
Totaly shared this video of awesomeness
Great job,always it’s a pleasure watch your videos,greetings from Argentina!!! 🇦🇷
Congrats on the 100K, you deserve it. Glad to see your back (feels like it's been a while since your last video)
Greetings from England
You got a thumbs up here...
Thinking on your feet there Justin when it came to those brass plugs...
See if you can find an old lathe for that museum...then get a bit of tooling for it...😉
+glenn moreland Thanks! We need a lathe !
I used to run an old wooden treadle lathe at the Pleasant Hill Shaker Village... fun! Much more fun than the broom shop!
Great rebuild. One little thing... Did you forget the washers inside the housing on either side of the large gear?
Ha! I was going to ask the same thing. I was wondering how he'd get them back in there. I thought maybe he put a little grease on the gear and stuck the washers where they needed to go.
+Paul McGuinness I caught it.
+rjtumble Nope, just forgot it then took it back apart and put it back in. It happens alot😁
If you don't have at least one bolt left over, you didn't take it apart properly ;-)
Just 1 , Rookie !! at least 2 bolts and a small part for us pros !! LOL
Have you ever thought about using a dustless blaster to clean you projects? It seems like it would be perfect for you?
Really making stuff that’s an antique perfect takes the history and when it was made away from it. Plus imperfections gives it character. Just fix the mechanical side of things. Just enough so it smokes and goes and other side works.
Congrats on 100k . And on Wade and Ethan's channel I think I saw some big gear patterns outside. Gotta get them out of the eliments my friend.
Check out the wrenches that Hand Tool Rescue makes and sells that works so well on those square nuts and bolts.
i should be a manager, who knew watching someone else work could be so entertaining hahaha
😂😂😂! That sure sounds like good 'ol LFG!?! 👍(oh, and LunkersTV)
And nice 'Mondo' @ the end!👍
I was thinking the same thing.
I recommend u try big mule wipes they work great to be honest.
Thanks, CRC... Hand Cleaning Towels... SOLD! I take a gross.
They are awesome towels! Thanks so much Jeff!
congrats brother on 100k did you apply for your button be nice to see that video . cool work on the grinder . good to see old pieces like that come back to life . have a great day
+dark matter Thanks Dark. I have to wait for UA-cam to send me a notice before I can apply.
not sure buddy i think you just apply . i could be wrong im not there yet lol . maybe someday . but cant wait to see the video buddy congrats
Very cool!!!! sure enjoy u videos at old mill pond!!!
Nice old style forge
Great video
Good choice of sponsors and great content as always. Is the new channel up yet?
You have just restored a 1950's gym static bike eheheheh. I totaly agree with keeping the tools like they where, they where made to be functional and durable not preety. I like this youtube channel.
Very good job ! Notre easy to you it
We need to see the restoration of the old hat!!! :-)
+Jon Henriksen Ha!
So awesome
Nice little shout out to Lake Fork Guy and Lu keys TV there Justin. Where they fishing in Mexico on that vid?
do CRC sell grease?? thats probably what it needs. nice video tho, really enjoyed. sharing.
Emmas Spareroom Machineshop I think something like a gear oil is what would be in there
It is ment to have oil in her. Gave her a light coat for corrosion protection. It's going in the museum and will never be used so I want to keep her clean.
heavy oil sticks better but any thing is better than nothing . Right. hey BTW don't think you can forge a slick id like to start some timber framing but cant find any of the tools about ( affordably at least )
CRC Industries does sell many different types of greases.
Congrats on passing 100k subs, look forward to seeing you unbox that play button when it arrives! Loved seeing you make the new brass screws, but I got lost when you were hammering on the file in the vise. What was that step?
Knurling?
Hmmm ..... I saw what you did!
Missing thrust washers from that gear shaft ;O)
+Dave W it's in there. I did miss it but I caught it and put it in. That video clip isn't as smooth so I use this one. Good eye! I never thought anyone would notice!
It is the interweb mate ...... someone Always notices ;0)
Good choice on the restore style Authentic v Perfect thinking!
Another resurrection done beautifully. How many hours would you estimate in that project?
Nice restoration Justin we need to find you a better lathe
Old Iron Shops : Oh, I dunno; I was pretty impressed with his knurling tool. I'm going to have to try that one, myself, sometime. ;-p
Shawn Bean that is a clever one I'll give you that.
John Wilson : No, we need the nice, expensive tools just because they're nice, expensive tools. It's sorta Zen, that way.
this is true but its so much easier to do a good job with the proper tools and i know hes a serious restorer this will not work for everything. no slight to the skill or method but one should try to do the best they can right tool for the job and all you know.
i'm defiantly not with you there . a used lathe can be quite reasonable if you hunt around . i traded 2 cases of wine for my horizontal mill . gotta keep your eyes out
Adam over at Abom79 turned me on to your channel. This is the first video I’ve seen from you. Look forward to many more.
Awesome job as always. What’s the attachments for the battery operated drill. Looks like scotch brite material
Not removing those bolt head markings are you? haha another good vid and some neat ideas (like the knurling technique)
Good one
