Antique Hand Cranked Hammer Drill - Restoration
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 гру 2020
- It was in spring this year when I picked up this beaten up antique hand cranked hammer drill. My friend has found it on the steel waste together with the german „Weltrekord“ ratchet screwdriver. The condition of the drill was super bad. It was very corroded, had a lot of missing screws, the handle was in very bad condition and the crank was bent so much you couldn't even make a full turn. That's all said, it was the perfect item for a new restoration video.
At first I thought this should be a quick and easy project, but one problem after the other became visible and it turned out to be a real challenge. There was the big dent in the left side of the case. Usually you can't bend casted parts, but with a bit of heat and careful pressure on the arbor press I was able to remove it a bit. It also worked to get rid of the warping with some heat. For the finish of the housing I wanted to have an antique cast aluminium look. I thought it would look very cool if I could tumbler these parts after sandblasting. I ended up building a huge rotary tumbler from scratch and it worked very well (video link below).
Another big issue was the tool holder and the drill bit, as they were both completly rusted. Big thanks to @HandToolRescue at this point for helping me out with the dimensions on these two parts by disassembling and measuring his own hammer drill. After a bit of search on eBay I found a set of original Rawlplug drill bits. After they arrived I was able to measure the shaft and the taper of the drill to then turn a new tool holder. It all worked out very well and yes, the drill only holds with the taper ;-)
Before I even started this project I just had one question in mind „How am I going to replace the messed up handle cover?“. My first idea was to wrap it in nice black leather like steering wheels are made. That would definitely work, but that's something I've never done before so I was quite sceptical. Then the idea of a heat shrink tube came up. That would be a very easy solution, but heat shrink tubes don't have any structuires to it and it wouldn't quite fit the the rest of the tool. Thanks to the research of my Patreons and channel members, they have found very special heat shrink tubes that have a structure in it. I really liked it as it almost looked exactly the same like the original handle.
After all it was a very intense and time consuming project. I've done so many hours of research on this one and I had to learn new skills. I'm very happy how it turned out.
I hope you like my work and the video.

I payed a lot of attention on the lighting when filming this video and also the quality of the sound to create an ASMR style video.
If you have any questions about the process, machines i'm using or other stuff, just ask me in the comments. I read them all and i try to reply as soon as possible.
Sorry for my bad english, it's not my language. I try my best to improve my technical english.

I gotta admit, there’s always an anxiety filled moment at the end when I feel like you’re not going to test it out and you never disappoint
That video timer ticking down and no test yet.
26:07
i feel exactly the same, till the end I didnt know what this is
😂😂😂😂😂 felt the same!!
@@gloriouspopemantom373 🤩🤩
When you sanded down that rivet, and blued it, and it was completely flush, I felt that deep down. I really did
It is absolutely beautiful
I thought it was just me...The guy should do a TV series....
@@Spike0000 Primitive Tech went on to make a tv series. Now nobody knows what happened to him. I think donating to Mymechanics' patreon would do more good than him going on to a tv series.
True...when you pound something to fit like a rivet, and then file/sand it to the point where you can't see the join line....THAT is skill.
That part of this video was my absolute favorite. Perfection.
I have tried to watch other restoration channels that come up in my recommended, and it's just not the same. The sounds and enjoyment from your videos are unparalleled in my brain. Definitely, my favorite restoration type channel.
There is one channel with almost the same content and name. I'll sometimes mix the up and get so disappointed 2-5 min into the video if it is the other channel. This channel outcompetes every other restoration channel.
@@Varangian_af_Scaniae❤❤❤❤🔭🔭😊 in🎉😊
Well, my mechanic and tysy tube are the two best in my opinion
no fr i thought i was the only one cause i tried watching others ans i was like this isn’t right
This channel is by far the best at restorations. They make the item better than it was the day it was made! Like a work of art.
The most impressive part to me is when he is like “I make a new one” and he makes it look so easy and gets the part exactly perfect . That alone is so mind blowing how he gets all the dimensions/proportions and measurements so precise with such ease (often freehand) . This guy isn’t human
He's very skilled
It's like in an martial arts movie, where the main character trains so much that they achieve super-human levels of ability.
Except instead of putting that training into becoming a karate master, this man put that same level of training into being a restoration master.
I think he may have cut out the tries which did not succeed 😉 I think he has included a few of those fails in his second channel, though.
@@mediocreman6323 ok that makes more sense
Most things don't have to be perfect to work. Close is fine
The sheer excitement one gets from "I Make A New One....", this man is the single greatest therapist to ever live
I'm glad you like it :-)
@@mymechanics Love it in 4k!
Exactly! He kept us hanging in this episode, avoiding it at several opportunities, before the finally slapping it down with the drill bit...
We should make a special educational/instructional MM for psycho therapists
@@nickharvey7233 If we get spoiled the effect weares off. We should yearn for it every single time. 😁😉
I have a feeling this guy once slit his finger on a particularly sharp edge, then proceeded to remove *all* sharp edges from that point on.
no it's just common practice to.. nothing triggers me more than sharp edges on steel or zipties not cut properly
@@davidkaiser4632 It just seems weird because most of the edges he removes are inside the things he restores.
@@turbosoggy8404 It occurs to me that the main difference between hand crafted and machine made is removing the sharp edges - and of course doing it without getting your hands dirty or any grime under your nails! Love it

He's just thorough. That's why I watch him... It's not about function, it's about perfection.
So cool to see you using some things that you restored in the past to help restore new items! Amazing restoration as always!

Love watching the tools and equipment that have been restored being used in other projects.
Thank you, I'm glad you like it :-)

It's always so satisfying to see you use tools you previously fixed. It's like watching a TV show and saying "I remember that character!"
Thanks, I'm glad you like it :-)
It's a nice doubling up of the channel's theme. The tools haven't just been restored to looking nice. They've been restored to *usefulness*, and get *used*
Something pleasant about it
There's no other restoration channel on UA-cam that I've found that's as good as yours. You set the bar sir.
Glad you like it!
yes there is

He's amazing, but also check out @HandToolRescue, his Canadian skill twin!

На три вещи можно бесконечно смотреть в жизни - Как течет вода, как горит огонь и как "моя механика" реставрирует казалось бы "мертвые" вещи! Великолепная работа!
Не мёртвые вещи, а уже практически обглоданные кости, я бы так сказал.

I love one aspect of your videos beyond the repairs: your editing. That's part of what makes them so enjoyable, the way you show the progression of time without just accelerating the video is wonderful.
Wow, thank you!
This is why I watch these videos and basically no one elses. Hate sped up footage.
You are an absolute craftsman and I LOVE watching your videos! There is nothing more satisfying than seeing how much life you bring back into these items, it's unbelievable 👏
May no one ever despise you as this man despises sharp edges. Great content!

brother, i live in Innsbruck (Austria), i work for an elderly care home, i think in USA they call it “nursing home”, in this case 99.9% are WW2 vets, i have been showing them you work everybsingle Sunday for the last Year, they all are crazy about it, most of them used to work as Metallmeister on the which means they do know what it means to work with metal for the Führer, however, average age 90-105, they do love you work.
In their name, Danke schön from the greatest Evropa generation ever-
👍🏻🍺
My Mecanics is from switserland or France
That's amazing. What a nice idea
@@wilmamieremet From Switzerland. I recognize the funny patterns on the paper towel he uses ;-)
Nice idea.
Here in the US, we also have a "Greatest Generation" that flew from airfields in England in an effort to prevent your metallmeisters from enabling the Fuhrer to continue his subjugation of "Evropa", North Africa, and Russia. I'm sure many of them still believe to this day that if they only had a little more time, they could have pulled it off.
The shoulder stock part gave me chills. Next level stuff.
Thank you very much :-)
It was 2 pieces then I looked away for a second. When I looked back it was one piece. He is definitely a magician.
Damn it. It’s 12:25am, I have to work early tomorrow, I know nothing about engineering, but I couldn’t stop watching this video.
Very nice restoration
Thank you very much!
"Time to restore the crank." Immediately saws the crank in half lol love this guy
I'm so spoiled by My Mechanics that I simply can't watch any other "restoration" channel. What this man does is a beautiful blend of art and science, all the rest are mere pretenders.
Thank you very much, I really do appreciate it :-)
No need to be so rude to other content creators. There are tons of great restoration channels.
@Brandon Alger could you give a name or 2?
@Brandon Alger That's very rude to say. It's not cutting corners, it's being realistic based on what you have to hand. Not everyone has a full machining shop and enjoys destroying the item's original character.
@@FlourescentPotato so why are you watching?
Как же мне нравится смотреть когда восстанавливают старую вещь.И от куда вы только знаете что к чему подходит.ВЫ огромный молодец и руки золотые.Похожая вещь была у моего отца в его огромном столе.Походу он любил собирать старинные инструменты.👍
Потрясающая работа! Сколько сил было вложено! Приятно было смотреть
Such a satisfying sound when everything clicks together
Yeah, it's like an old Schwarzenegger film, as he's getting all his kit and guns together just before taking on the bad guys near the end. :-)
The perfect solution to the long, dark teatime of the soul here in Australia. Watching someone who knows how to use a file to make a radius. Thank you for the video.
Thank you very much, I really do appreciate it :-)
You could always rewatch Clickspring. He's started the Antikythera build again.
🇦🇺 the boredom is real , this brightened my day 🌞
26 minutes we'll spent watching this. Thank you, it's remarkable watching something being turned from rust, to gold.
Glad you enjoyed the video
Imagine how happy the tools and items he restores are, especially the ones he uses to restores others!
2020 was a bad year.
My Mechanics : I make a new one
Oh, I wish...
PLEASE, if something than ever make a new one!
please do☹️
Probably the BEST comment I've seen in this channel, EVER 😂
If anyone could it would be My Mechanics!
the part at 9:05 where you make the rivet just... disappear into the plate is truly one of the most beautiful things i have ever seen
You would love the work Chris over at Clickspring does then, with clockmaking and his ongoing series on the antikythera mekanism, be warned though youll be addicted and his videos have a long time between them ;)

@@MonkeyWithAKnife oooh, thanks for the tip!
Came to say the same thing, most impressive part of the video.
My only issue with clickspring is that I have somehow managed to associate his videos with carbonara. Now I really want carbonara.
My therapy channel!
Mechanical Engineers enjoying his videos more than anyone else.
I guess so ;-)
This guys skills are impressive. It’s like watching an artist work.
He is a sort of artist, restoring items to their natural look, beauty, it's all how you look at it I suppose.
You ARE watching an artist work
I agree
@@eibeab EXACTLY! Art takes many forms - mechanical included.
he is very skilled, but it's also a matter of having the thousands of dollars of quality equipment he has.
my mechanics can you do a rooomtour of your workshop, that would be cool.

maybe one day
I really admire your perfectionism. Unbelievable how you turn things that are trash in the eyes of most people into the original, no a far better, optimized state. I've watched every video of yours with joy!
I always enjoy watching you put items back together, making them better than they originally were.
Yours is the ONLY restoration channel on UA-cam that truly takes this subject seriously. Others just take it apart, clean it, and paint it with rattle can. It only gets them 85% of the way done.
You Sir, get the other 15% or more my hat off to your quality of work. You've earned every single one of your subscribers
Little did that young hand cranked hammer drill know when leaving the factory in 1932...
You are a great maestro who operates machine tools.

I have watched hundreds of UA-cam videos and this one is the closest to perfection I have ever seen. Beautifully filmed, no annoying music and sampled handclaps, just calm, clear poetic craftsmanship. I totally agree with Paul McKenzie's comment about it being art. Even if I wasn't interested in restoration, I would still love the video. What a talent!

This dedication and atention to detail is what i imagine when they talk about the quality of swiss watches in stories.

Clearly one of the more difficult, time consuming, extensive and beautiful restorations to date.

Yay! Thank you!
There are absolutely no sharp edges in this man's house.
Yes
I thought the same thing!
I would absolutely watch videos that are just the full unedited sandblasting portions! ASMR and so satisfying!
Does anyone love watching people restoring old crap and be amazed
I love all vids. No music, just the sound of tools.
It's very relaxing.

Never gets old to see such fine attention to detail and extraordinary craftsmanship on these restorations!
Also, looking at the shape of this device... The stock, that pistol grip, the overall shape...

Handle restoration was my favorite part. Absolutely perfect. Immensely satisfying.

Memperbaiki adalah hal yang tidak mudah, tapi membuat adalah hal yang selalu terfikirkan. Semua itu berawal dari pertanyaan bagaimana harus memulai ?
Dari semua kesimpulan hal yang paling mudah adalah menyimak dengan baik dan menontonnya.
Sungguh peralatan yang anda gunakan sangat memadai. Sejauh ini berapa modal yang anda keluarkan untuk memulai hal seperti ini, memperbaiki benda rusak dan tak terpakai menjadi barang yang unik dan langka di zaman modern sekarang ini.
Salut.. semangat buat anda.

Food for the soul to watch someone put the time & care into tools from a bygone era that could so easily be discarded. Its a tip of the hat to those who came before us.
