@@HandToolRescue I'm guessing your channel is going to become way more of a challenge when antique items mostly consist of electric motors, terminals and plastic parts
A good job on a tough job! That machine must have been very valuable to the company that was using it for it to have been repaired so many times in so many placees.
Thank you Thank you Thank you for putting a welding lens in front of the camera, my eyes thank you as well, you are great, i watch all your videos! Keep being great! Btw, i love that you sport Princess Auto stuff, i work there and i use your videos as tool references sometimes for my customers, elderly people think its awesome :)

TUNE IN NEXT WEEK ON BUSHING OR BEARING WHERE WE FIND OUT WHETHER HE CHOOSES A BUSHING OR A BEARING...man that show would win so many awards if someone let me make it.
My only advise. Lube every moving part before reassembling. Lube bushings before pressing in. Go in a little easier and if they ever need to come out it will be easier.
What's funny is, I'm Canadian but the whole "maple syrup" thing doesn't really resonate. I'm from near the west coast, in BC so, the east with its maple syrup fetish is so far away, it kind of feels like a whole other country.
I was waiting for the part 2 but it was totally worth seeing the machine restpred back to its original state, thank you, Hand Too Rescue and keep up the good work...
REALLY nice Restauration but, you should have installed an oiler instead of the greasenipple on the babbot bearing. Don't forget to grease every moving part, with no lubrication the holes will wear out very quick. Greetings from Germany.
This is my favorite antique tool restoration - ever. If I could give a YoTube award, this would be best project 2018. Someday I want to visit and be your assistant! 🧰👍🏼🥽💥
Almost every blacksmith work is a thin line between: "that's some nice ax that you got here" and "he lost his skull in an accident, when the propane tank exploded the 25kg hammer right in his face"
I came here to see who else thought it incongruous that he says always lift file on the backstroke then proceeds to drag it back and forth but apparently that was supposedly intentional humour ! I must be getting old !
Outstanding workmanship after seeing your first video I thought for sure that it was a piece of garbage and could not be fixed you sure prove me wrong that is a fine piece of workmanship well done!!!
Fun fact. My HTR wrench was the only tool I needed to assemble my snow blower. Could even use it to hold the funnel in place when I poured the engine oil.
@@XxmatixX6videosdiariosdenadav But it was not used to assemble the snowblower, just fill up the oil. There's a difference between assembling mechanical components and adding fuel\oil, in my opinion at least.
Didn’t read all 1000+ comments, sorry if someone already mentioned this. There is a video of a man forging wagon parts using this same style hammer on the Engel wagons UA-cam channel I had never seen one before, now two in one weekend. I love these hand tool rescue videos. Very interesting to see the amount of engineering that went into these old tools
Hey HTR, I'm not second guessing, but if you occasionally improve a restoration by replacing something inferior with a modern part or procedure, why did you not prime the parts before painting? You told us they weren't primed originally, but wouldn't the paint be more durable with a good etching primer then a finish coat? I'm sure the new owner wouldn't notice or object to the change.
I went old-school on this one because if this is actually used the red paint will be covered in black/brown dirt quickly, so a super durable paint is not really needed.
Mmmm yeah! Lead paint cigarette. Man what a huge project, I love that you painted it red, my favorite color. That reminds me, I used to watch a youtube channel a while back of a guy who had a machine shop that ran on steam, he made alot of babbitt for his machines. Interesting stuff. Awesome video and great job on such an amazing tool.
Monster machine there. Very impressive. She'll be stompin n chompin for many more years now. Amazing what good shape the bearings were in, considering the otherwise heavy use. Looks like someone paid attention to this ol' gal.
Another awesome vid! I've watched almost all your restoration videos since the rona started (I know, I'm a bit late on this one), and I have to thank you from the depths of my soul for being a huge inspiration to me getting my own little shop straightened out and organized, and finally starting to fix and restore the myriad "junk" I'v been procrastinating over for a few years.
Nice joke, how you fill that grease gun. Been waiting for this Pt 2. You're an entertaining worker. $4000 USD sounds about right. Right? *RIGHT?* Come on, we need thumbs up here. LOTS of thumbs up.
Much anticipated part 2, was worth the wait. I love your work, you are thorough in what you do and your seance of humor second to none. Don't stop looking forward to the next project.
Nice to see a new vid man. Great job on power hammer. I enjoy watching your restorations. To see these old tool put back to work is great. Wish they still made that way. Keep the vids coming please.
Pins have oil-bronze bushings. You do not grease bushings, you oil them. But yes, he should have oiled the pins for installation. That dry assembly made me cringe a bit. Source: 8.5years as Navy steam turbine mechanic.
You can't use grease in a babbot bearing. It's not going to last very long. You need the oil to wash out the deteriorated babbot, otherwise it will just eat itself. Grease will not allow this self washing action... Whomever buys this make sure to remove the grease fitting and put a gravity oil drip feeder into the babbot bearing
There are many antique tools with grease cups on babbitt bearing surfaces. The grease works best for tools used in very dirty areas as it does not let any particles in and can easily be squished out with a new shot of grease.
@@HandToolRescue while I disagree with your application, I agree that grease works for dirty applications. Check out the book/pdf "Millwrighting" by James Francis Hobart from 1919. Has sections both on grease lubrication and babboting. "Lubrication by means of grease should only be considered when the pressure is heavy and the motion slow. Grease is not suitable for machinery running at high speed, but works well enough for slow moving journals."
Do it locomotive style. Press more grease in and the old squirts out and you wipe it away. My dad has an old 40's Ford 9N tractor with the 3 point hitch and power take off. Lots of Babbit bearing joints back there need greasing often if used a lot.
I bought some Evapo-Rust. The stuff is amazing. I am having fun as an old retired guy restoring all my tools I've use all my life to earn a living and in doing so truly abused some.
A job well done! Also Nutella in a grease gun might not pass the wife test but if they'd ship it the tubes like for caulk you could not only empty the container fully but have way more fun making a sandwich...
Liked the restoration and it looks like good work. I debated doing a full resto on my 1910 champion, but instead converted it to air using a 2.5 inch Bosch cylinder and a Norgren shuttle valve. I Know some will consider it Blasphemy but it works well with a 5 horse compressor
maybe nex time you could fill the dents in the cas iron with a stick welder, if the dents where there in the first place maybe the epoxy would not hold the abuse

👍 Awesome refurbish! Takes me back 65 to 70 years when I watched our local blacksmith use his power hammer. Tnx for sharing! Great 2 videos.
Impressed you used tig and didn't just jam some huge rods in at high heat on a stick welder !!! All together nice work as usual
Difficult tool. Awesome work. Probably THE Boss of restoration on YT. Congratulations once again !
Lathes seem so terrifying, yet so useful. Absolutely hypnotic to watch, as usual.
I respect that you give good filing advice and I respect even more that you kept going with the restoration even after having a seizure when filing.
Thank you for putting a filter in front of the camera while welding. My epileptic self is very grateful indeed! And awesome work as always!
No problem!
I was thinking the same. Normally I have to look away cuz of that until the welding is done. It’s very much appreciated 🙂

Awesome video as always, sir. The texturing trick with the sanding disc is a good one! Also, props on the 'Murica sized Nutella barrel ;-)
Thank you!
can something be really American when the weight is in kilo's?
I think 3kg of Nutella is somewhere around 2kg of vegetable oil, so it's probably not a bad lubricator.
