Hand Crank Grinder Tool Restoration
I found this hand crank grinder on ebay and thought it looked really unique I haven't seen and restoration videos of an open gear hand crank grinder like this one and thought it would be a good restoration project. This cast iron hand crank grinder had a lot of rust and caked on grease that required a lot of rust converting and degreasing to fully restore.

You need to film the sand blasting that's my favorite part
Not showing the media blasting should be a criminal offence
Adam Walters he had to go get his dad because he’s not allowed .
I am old enough to remember when this sickle grinder was being sold in hardware stores. I have one from McCormick Deering, International Harvester.My grinder came with a cam and lever that drives the grind stone up and down to cover the "V" shapes of the sickle mower blade. The grinder I have is designed to be mounted on the mower and moved from blade to blade. They came with paint in the gear teeth. This was thought to be a kind of lubricant and may have been the only lube the tool ever got. Grease was a dirt attractant and formed a grinding compound. Cast iron is slightly self lubricating and does not need grease in this application. Some molly dry lube spray would be way more than adequate. You may be the first "restorer" with a glass bead blast cabinet. I have a MOD-U-BLAST cabinet and a 30 liter ultrasonic parts cleaner.
Old is gold Bon keep it save it will about 70 or 80 years old after 2 or 3 decade will a century old peice of art.

I'm so impressed with tools. Is it strange to say I love seeing tools helping tools. And you are a skilled craftsman. Your lights are buzzing.
Not showing the sandblasting.. that's just mean.
hands in, hands out, finished... lol
The restoration was perfect, just as a tip, you could clean the stripping stone with the sandbox and then pave it with a diamond brush, it is perfect.
Respect from Egypt man Keep up the good work
Great video, always nice to see items like this restored to working order!
Flawless job. Thank you for posting this video !
But I like seeing the sandblasting.
Damn right. I feel robbed, cheated, violated, raped..... I WANT THE SANDBLASTING!
Everyone does!
Yessss
why?
that time when there is no power tools...love you restore this..add to your collection.
A really nice renovation, well done. Looks good in the blue paint too. One suggestion for the grease, don't know if it would be suitable, Motorcycle spray chain grease. It certainly "sticks" to metal and doesn't fly off as you might imagine once thing start rotating !
His daddy comes home later and asks; “ anyone know what happened to the handle of my brand new DRAWKNIFE??!!!” This guy slinks outside to hide his new grinder thingy.
Super jest to odrestaurowane pozdrawiam serdecznie 👍👍👍👍
Muito bom os vídeos...sempre assisto..parabens 👍👍.....
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls
This type of grinder was used to sharpen the blades on old sickle mowers pulled by mules, horses and tractors
You are right there, I have used one of these many a year ago!
That handle came out super nice!
Good work!!!!
beautiful, absolutely beautiful.
Nicely done. Might have gotten a little carried away with the grease but nicely done just the same.
No such thing as too much lube... You're probably right, though. There was a lot of dried up (100?) year old dried-up grease packed into the gears that was a real pain to clean. I'll remove all of the bearing grease I used and make a post with pictures once I unlock the KZhead community tab feature.
Не пойму, зачем предварительно мыть, потом покрывать смывкой для краски, а потом пескоструить? Почему нельзя сразу в пескоструйку? Для чего эти лишние операции?
Nice! I enjoyed watching this!
Nice to know that others share my sentiment on the absent sand blasting process.
How often do you change your blast media?
that grinder too is a scythe grinder used on a tractor. Hand Tool Rescue restored one on his channel.
For a sickle bar mower?
New subscriber, nice work, looks great!
Nice job.
Awwww didn't get to see the sandblasing you let me down Man😜
Te felicito por el buen trabajo de restauración 🇵🇪
It is for sharpening sickle bar mower blades. McCormick Derring made some of them
you are correct
my mechanic chanel only best
PB Blaster ftw!!!
i said the same thing
Navy blue 👍 , subscribed!
Impressive restoration. You got it looking better and working like a charm as well. Great work.
You westerners really don't know what real restoration is! I am from Serbia 🇷🇸 and I see that is a bad job!!! I read comments the others and see only false praise. I don't understand why? If you already want to support him at least tell him the truth. It will be much more useful to him!!!🤔🙄😒 Harsh but honest!!!
Yarg that not be rust, ‘tis mud.
great job
Good man 👍
Pretty good Restoration!
Great work well done.
Where do you even buy a new stone for this? Nice job. Like the blue.
Oh no, no, no. Industrial strenght dish detergent :) greetings from Poland :)
you know...that would make a nice lamp
#Upcycle
good job
I noticed you have some nice KNIPEX pliers!
Superb video quality. What camera do you use ? Thanks, Dave.
I got this exact same one!
vaya chapuza de pintado xD. Por el resto de 10!
great work my friend one big like
We spread white grease on gears we didn't want to get paint on. Once dry, the paint and grease would just brush off...
Thanks! I've been thinking for a while about how I could mask off gear teeth. Had to settle for the method I used in this video. I'll try your method in my next video
Good work straightening the crank handle. Next time, use a piece of leather, a folded up old rag or a thick piece of plastic, to keep from maring the metal.
I just came across this channel, and I’m quite impressed. It has a very uniform style, very professional. You do great work with restorations too, keep it up!
Picked up one similar at an auction last month
Why?
Why not?
Nice, described well. thanks a lot.
Do you prefer P.B. Blast over WD40? If so, does it work better or just a preference thing?
Great work!!
Very nice job... subscribed...
I wanna see it in action !!!!…
Me too........
this is like asmr
Very good restoration bro 👍👍👍👍👍
i have one of these still works mine has both stones
Very nice.
I have to agree. get a camera for the sand blasting. many of the restoration videos I watch, the sand blasting is one of the best parts to watch of the restoration. just an idea if you want more views and subscribers.
Parabéns amigo por sua inteligência sou do Brasil
É nois kkk
Oi kkk tudo bem
Is the drill press power attached to pull string? Like on a desk lamp.
Tommy Hill - quite unusual 🤨
It is exactly like that, but it has a metal rod instead of a string. Actually now that I think about it it's a bit different than a lamp. You pull down on the rod to turn it on and push up on the rod to turn is off. It's more like a regular light switch with an extension rod attached to it.
Restoration Station - for these, we (in UK) have an industrial type switch (large box with red and green button) and remote safety cutouts on parts of the machine and a emergency stop button, far more complex than a pull cord 😉
What kind of camera do you use ,bty nice video
Открытые зубчатые передачи не смазывают. На масло налипает пыль, песок и прочее и они начинают работать как образив, что приводит к более быстрому износу мест зацепления. А так все супер!
Ольга , ты серьёзно думаешь, что он будет применять эту «приблуду» на практике ??? Почти все что нам показывают, это музейные экспонаты !!! Я бы ОЧЕНЬ огорчился если бы их применяли по назначению !!! Их место в Музеях старого быта и техники , а то все отправят на свалку или в переплавку ?!!
Молодец конечно ,красиво . Шестеренки зря солидолом намазал , абразивом зарастет быстро и зубьям хана ))
The stone was desirable to align. Too much grease on the gears. Well done job.
Gracias, por tu amable respuesta...
Ask Keith Rucker if he has lying around a new stone for that beast..
It could be resurfaced to keep the project original.
Very nice
so nice, good job
pb blaster for the win
Turkiyenin ilk ve tek restorasyon kanalı ziyaret etmeyi unutmayın
Very cool bro I love the color too
Очень хорошо 👍 ! Понравилось!
Need a table attached to the one side to put the item being sharpened. Attach a motor to the other side to turn the handle. Then you could whittle an ax blade like a pencil.
Выбивание штифтов на весу - это эпик. Неужели тисков банальных нету?
да и деревянную ручку мог бы сам сделать, а не брать с донора
Hey I have a new hobby My new hobby is to watch others hobby ,🤣🤣
love the videos, like that you don't talk
Thanks?
I get what Teresa means. It isn’t a slight against you. Some of the restorers talk too much, like they love hearing the sound of their own voices and it gets annoying fast.
Cool
Nice kniptex pliers!
Y, exactamente qué es lo que hace la máquina? Gracias por compartir
Afila :)
why didn't you use your belt sander?
Con el mango de madera lo que has hecho ha sido desvestir un santo para vestir a otro, xD.
Why not reshape the stone? beautiful restore!
Not showing the sand blasting is okay with me, thanks for that. But as well as you did, are there missing pieces to this tool, or are those spots for additional options? Nicely done,sir.
Magic
Your main problem with the grease is you just used way to much. That only need a little as you fond out lol
what kind of grease did you use
my mechanic is champion. He will do it in great way.It looks like complete new.
Sickle bar cutter point sharpener.
U try to make it better again,not to judge but u have to see "mymechanic" channel..he did anawesome job,everything was detail n much awesome finishing..
Mymechanics is the best!
The whole point to restoration is to use as many original parts as possible,
Welp there not enemies, there no like friends
Para que sirve esta herramienta? cual es su utilidad?. saludos desde Santiago de Chile.-
Nice
That grinder for sharpening cutter bar blades
Interesting because looking at the space below the stone it wasn’t actually as ground down as one might think. Was this used for something in particular do you think? Most stone one sees are disc shaped whereas this was more drum or barrel-shaped.
Its made for grinding cutting teeth on reciprocating mowers on tractors.
What do you use this machine for? I wanted to see that at the end but it wasn’t there. Can someone explain to me? Thanks!
It’s called sandblasting.
Buenísimo
