I just wanted to say- I noticed one of your wrenches made an appearance in this video. I bought one of the mini ones a couple of years ago, and it’s been a treat. It works great! @HandToolRescue
Back in the day this would have been powered by a line shaft system running the length of the factory floor, with belts coming off the shaft running to each machine, either directly or thru some change of direction. I believe the rear facing lower pulleys seen here at 10:38 and 13:35 would be where the power inputs, with my guess being the outer one is freewheeling as they way the machine is idled while still connected to the shaft line. Here's a cool few links, one being a video, of turn of the last century shaft line factories. *How Did Factories Get Power to Their Machines Before Electricity?* www.core77.com/posts/58982/How-Did-Factories-Get-Power-to-Their-Machines-Before-Electricity *Belt-Driven Machine Shop in Railroad Town at Stuhr Museum* ua-cam.com/video/lBpOzItIRio/v-deo.html Pay no mind to the OSHA cringefest
@@tommypetraglia4688 oh, I was joking! Old stuff like this was fine if you used common sense. Having guards and warning labels on even the most trivial of things nowadays is just dumbing down society...
It's Alive! It's Alive! Dr. FrankenResta has brought another creature to life!! The only thing missing was the sparks flying off the mechanical parts at the end! Good job......
That was cleverly done. I've never seen someone with a broken gear just say "screw it, let's use a sleeve" and do away with all the repairs needed on the gear itself. I like it, and it seemed to work fine. Nice job!
I'm not sure it was broken. It was and is common to make a gear like that and purposely crack it to get it into a spot where it can't be pressed on. You can buy cracked bearings and gears right now from your favorite machine supplier. Cracking is better than machining because the two halves key together and you don't have to worry about remachining the bore afterwards.
My wife is Dutch. There is a saying in Dutch that when you find a solution to a problem you have put a sleeve on it. Originally the saying comes from the middle ages, when clothing was different from what it is today. Shirts had detachable sleeves that you could tie onto a vest section, so that when you had an accident and soiled or ruined a sleeve, you could just go to the sleeve basket and find another sleeve to tie onto your shirt. They have shirts like ours now, but kept the saying, and everyone knows what it means. It fits here, too.
MAN I love old Iron! They just don't make it like that anymore! Thanks for bringing new life to that old beast! You're going to enjoy it for years to come!
Love to see old machinery in action. Before WWII my grandfather had a business in Boston repairing and replacing the leather belts used to drive machinery.
This is awesome. It’s like seeing inside the brain of a madman watching all the gears and levers. Far cry from the depth stop computer on the Nova you guys were just discussing.
Your DiRestoration was as Grand as the machine itself...Honors to You and the people who built it! Thanks Jimmy, for the mighty fine video and team effort! Hat Tip!
A beautiful giant drill press. Enough spinning bits and gears to watch for hours. Good work on the resto, looking forward to seeing it action on some build to come.
Absolutely amazing video. And what a beautiful machine. I couldn't even do a restore on my wife's folding-ironing table, but because of you as an inspiration, at least I tried.
I especially like how you speeded up the grunt work. we don't need it all but speeding it up relieves some of the drudgery. great video, awesome machine!
it's silly, I have a bigger Rocklands drill went over it painted it in 5 days working it it's an oily grease mess, he didn't oil all the total OIL LOSE cups.
This is theee best restoration video !!!!! INCREDIBLE ART !! the engineering and materials used to manufacture this piece of art is INSAIN !!!! No one could touch american engineering / machining / metal making back in the day . So cool to see machining being used to make parts !!! its a lost ART !!!!! IM IN AWE !!!!!! TAHNKS JIMMY !!!!! YOU BLESSED TO HAVE HARD WORKING HELPFUL FRIENDS !!!!
Does my heart good to see the old equipment rebuilt and in place where it will be used and taken care of . You and your guys should get some kind of award for saving another life . Happy trails
When it comes to restoration, it's safe to say that Jimmy knows the drill...
I don't get it
Yes, he definitely did his research.
Hehe, real funny.
Your Evapo-Rust to rusty parts ratio is concerning. Fantastically high gizmosity factor on this one, it's glorious!
I actually smiled when I saw your wrench!
Funkyphreak they mention it at 9:55 !!

I'm not sure if it has enough unguarded dangerous spinny bits... 😂😂
Lovely work!

@@lukeybaby45 No they were not fine. Many many people lost body parts or died in these factories.
Titchtheclown you can work around dangerous equipment with the correct training and experience.
The machine was made before safety was invented

Thanks for rescuing such great old machine. And thanks for the video!
Great idea to sleeve the broken gear!!
Awesome. That would look really sweet with some of that old school gold pinstriping.
Insane resto!
These old machines look cool and sound cool too! More big iron to put to work in the shop. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent work, congratulations
Very cool. Brought this old beast back to life.

@@gasfiltered Huh. Never seen one before. Thanks for the info.
@@gasfiltered True that.
@@gasfiltered many engine rods are done that way.
Lot of works to restoration, but what a great reward to see it work
Im happy for your, thanks Jimmy
What a nice old machine ... Good Job Guys 💪🏽👍🏽
You are spoiling us, Jimmy!
By using Evapo Rust, you've attracted various Canadians to your shop.
surprised with all the evaporust and square headed bolts that HTR wasn't there.
@@StevenAndrews He is, lurking in the woods.
@@StevenAndrews His wrenches were there, representing.
@@InstrucTube They weren't listed in the intro credits though, I think those were stand-ins.
Steven Andrews he has been there before, they did a power hammer video together
Awesome job guys!!!! Every time I watch Jimmy with a piece of Americana power tool, I get the itch!!!! Need a workshop........
Cool restoration. Nice save in making a sleeve for that broken gear.

Classic beast of a machine, nice work fells.
You have made a MONSTER MACHINE ! Very Very nice job !! Congrats !!
Wow... What a monstrous tool! 😮
Fantastic job, Jimmy!!!
Nicely done. I liked the way you saved that gear. I also like that you didn't remove the machine's history by filling the holes in its table. Sweet!
MAN I love old Iron! They just don't make it like that anymore! Thanks for bringing new life to that old beast! You're going to enjoy it for years to come!
Thanks for saving History once again Mr. Diresta. Wonderful!
Love to see old machinery in action. Before WWII my grandfather had a business in Boston repairing and replacing the leather belts used to drive machinery.

I always love restoration videos from this channel
This is awesome. It’s like seeing inside the brain of a madman watching all the gears and levers. Far cry from the depth stop computer on the Nova you guys were just discussing.
The elegance of these old machines - beautiful!
Wonderful. What a beautiful bit of kit.
Your DiRestoration was as Grand as the machine itself...Honors to You and the people who built it! Thanks Jimmy, for the mighty fine video and team effort! Hat Tip!
Thanks for showing us this huge pile of J.U.'n'K.! (Joy, Utilities and Knowledge) Great job bringing these old machines back to life.
Regards,
Etna.

beautiful machine and these belt hooks are awesome. Thanks for sharing ! 👍
I can't stop watching these types of videos. It is so interesting.
Thanks for sharing, Jimmy!
Felix
you are an archaeologist of machines. Seems like one of the heaviest jobs you did. fantastic work Mr. Jimmy
GREAT project!
Those old drill presses are just the best thing ever
What a beautiful machine! You and your friend done an amazing job. You are a huge inspiration to viewers here on UA-cam! 🙂👍
What a fantastic old machine. Looks amazing. Well done.
Awesome job dude... what a fantastic piece of engineering..
It's always a true moment when you flip the switch and it starts to work! Awesome resto! Kudos to you and Rob!
Solid tool for tough modern time
Absolutely amazing video. And what a beautiful machine. I couldn't even do a restore on my wife's folding-ironing table, but because of you as an inspiration, at least I tried.
I especially like how you speeded up the grunt work. we don't need it all but speeding it up relieves some of the drudgery. great video, awesome machine!
respect to whoever designed that stunning drill
Very nice. That trick with the broken gear was slick.
Beautiful, you should put it in a museum
Джимми Диреста вдохновил меня на работу руками! Раньше я вообще ими ничего не делал!! Thanks Jimmy!!!
Great restoration of an awesome piece of machinery. A bit anti climatic at the end when you used it to bore a small hole with a twist drill bit.
Great machine, thanks for the work 👍
The beast lives once more. Great job Jimmy it’s a work of industrial art.
Watched this again and got a better understanding of the time and effort and how this particular press operates. Once again...GREAT JOB !!!!!!!!
it's silly, I have a bigger Rocklands drill went over it painted it in 5 days working it it's an oily grease mess, he didn't oil all the total OIL LOSE cups.
Your videos are my favorite thing on UA-cam. Keep it up.
Wow...thanks! That was the coolest thing I've seen in quite some time. And made my Sunday morning much more enjoyable. Cheers to everyone!
YOU AND THE GUYS ARE A COMPLETE BUNCH OF OF INSPIRATION TOO US ALL ,GREAT, SKILLS MUCH NEEDED IN THIS WORLD.
I never would have remembered how it went back together ;)
Great video!

Great work and impressive restoration! Thank you, liked!
Just wonderful to see it operational again. Well worth to time and effort to bring'er back. Great job and a pleasure to view. Thanks Jimmy.
Amazing piece of history.
Absolutely
Priceless Vintage Column Drill Restore
The Diresta working museum. Awesome as always
in awe at the size of this lad, an absolute UNIT
I see DiRestaration, I upvote.
It's a great restoration that belongs in a museum so nobody gets hurt.
No it need to be used by someone that knows how to use it
@@Thefreakyfreek Plenty of experts lost fingers to those belts. Some machines became obsolete for a very good reasons.
One of the best restorations I've seen in a while, love seeing the old tools in good working order, thanks for sharing!!!
Great job!. It reminds me of the machines we used with my classmates in my high school when I was a teenager. Now I'm in college, 22 years old.
Beautiful piece of machinery and an awesome job bringing it back to life. thoroughly enjoyable journey,
Great piece of machinery and great restoration!
Does my heart good to see the old equipment rebuilt and in place where it will be used and taken care of . You and your guys should get some kind of award for saving another life . Happy trails
Awesome ,awesome ,awesome Love the video great restoration had to watch the video twice keep up the great work.
