I am an old codger, becoming an Octogenarian in the middle of next month. I have watched your videos on Restoration. You are really an Artisan. Sadly, people like you are disappearing fast. The age of Repairs is gone. We live in a 'Throw Away' society making rich people even richer and poor even poorer. Restoration of this Drilling Machine is to make me go back to my childhood, when hand drills were common and it used to take quite a while to drill a hole in a Masonry Wall. We used matchsticks and wood shavings for Rawlplugs ..Thanks for loading this video. The restored drill is a treasure ...keep it up...

all due respect, I think you'd be happy to know there's a sizeable movement in younger generations to build things, repair them. it's why videos like this are so popular, at least in part. "the maker movement" is a term often applied. as an example, I work in video game development and grew up with my face plastered to a screen. but at home, I practice woodworking and metalworking and learn machining and so on, just because it's interesting. I know our restorer here was careful with his welding repair, for example, because too much heat could cause the cast iron to expand and crack. not everyone likes the society we have. it's just difficult, and slow, to change.

From Lincoln Electric; Welding Techniques without Preheat The size of the casting, or other circumstances, may require that the repair be made without preheat. When this is the case, the part needs to be kept cool, but not cold. Raising the casting temperature to 100 degrees F is helpful. If the part is on an engine, it may be possible to run it for a few minutes to obtain this temperature. Never heat the casting so hot that you cannot place your bare hand on it. Make short, approximately 1” long welds. Peening after welding is important with this technique. Allow the weld and the casting to cool. Do not accelerate the rate of cooling with water or compressed air. It may be possible to weld in another area of the casting while the previous weld cools. All craters should be filled. Whenever possible, the beads should be deposited in the same direction, and it is preferred that the ends of parallel beads not line up with each other.

@joshanderson39615 жыл бұрын
I know very little, but I know that welding cast iron is a bitch. The problem is heat stress, the filler shrinks and the casting doesn't, so without peening the weld, you are left with lots of stresses in the metal.

Even though I generally go for machinery grey I like the green. Is the wheel on top a flywheel or for more leverage if required and I thought cast iron didn’t like being welded with out pre heating but you said you were trying to avoid to much heat by stitch welding. Is it better not to pre heat? Looking forward to part 2. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺

@ianprososki68045 жыл бұрын
It would have been better to channel the parts and braze them back together. It would have been a much stronger repair since the brazed metal will flow into all of the cracks, rather than a surface weld where the extreme heat makes the cast iron hard and brittle, more likely to break again. I never like seeing people weld cast iron, as I've seen many parts ruined by failed welds that break later and are even more difficult to fix because you have to grind the now very hard weld and underlying hardened cast iron off before you can repair it again, if even possible.

Once, in Year 2000, we wanted to weld a piano frame. Also cast iron. We also bought a suitable welding rod. It broke again in addition to welding. Failed. A flat spring from a truck is then placed underneath. Then we riveted. This thickened the frame. Because of this, we had to cut it out of wood so we could paste it in. It's still good. This is resistant to the 15 tonne pressure caused by the drawn strings. Maybe we needed a yellow cat for a successful weld. :D :D :D :D It's good to watch your videos. Greetings from Slovakia.

Glad to see other people in our generation interested in this kind of stuff
It is not just a restoration. It is the rescue of a story. It was magnificent.
And rescue of a history

4/5 years ago I bought a simpler drill but in similar condition for £2 (I'm in England) at an auction. Discovered it was made in USA in 1905and when New was $15. Cleaned it up same as you, and painted it dark green with letters picked out in red. I'm as proud of my project as you are of yours.
Back when things were made right. By experienced men with the proper know how. Not all this mass produced chinesium crap.

I am an old codger, becoming an Octogenarian in the middle of next month. I have watched your videos on Restoration. You are really an Artisan. Sadly, people like you are disappearing fast. The age of Repairs is gone. We live in a 'Throw Away' society making rich people even richer and poor even poorer. Restoration of this Drilling Machine is to make me go back to my childhood, when hand drills were common and it used to take quite a while to drill a hole in a Masonry Wall. We used matchsticks and wood shavings for Rawlplugs ..Thanks for loading this video. The restored drill is a treasure ...keep it up...
@MGTOW individualist Why is he an unwise old codger?
@MGTOW individualist shut up kid,you just want to make rich richer and the poor poorer,you are a regular 2019 kid who just watches 5 minute crafts and ASMR videos,and nothing productive and brag about how you have the newest things when you don't,also show some respect for the old man
We are a throw away country!
all due respect, I think you'd be happy to know there's a sizeable movement in younger generations to build things, repair them. it's why videos like this are so popular, at least in part. "the maker movement" is a term often applied. as an example, I work in video game development and grew up with my face plastered to a screen. but at home, I practice woodworking and metalworking and learn machining and so on, just because it's interesting. I know our restorer here was careful with his welding repair, for example, because too much heat could cause the cast iron to expand and crack. not everyone likes the society we have. it's just difficult, and slow, to change.

Watching you restore these old tools is mesmerizing. You really had your work cut out for you this time- had to use your beefiest tools. I love the Hammerite green finish and loved seeing it working at the end. Thanks for the lovely video... as always!
Just wondering if it’ll get used, or be a defining tool of an era, and end up in a museum?(r.o.?)
I agree, after seeing the restoration all i could think was; but will it drill? Great work and even better to see it doing the job it was meant to do all those years ago.
You mean, "hypnotic" ? ^^
When your cat brings you a huge antique drill:
This video is the best restoration i have ever seen! You did an excellent job, and you should be proud of all you have done to resurrect this tool that was probably the life dream and consumption of a mans life to make it real 140 years ago. Im sure he is proud. Thanks for no music
Check out the mymechanics restorations. They're mind blowing. My favorite is the old kerosene lamp.
These videos make me emotional, The persons who built that back in the day are looking down smiling.
Was it just one split pin and one wooden part of a handle changed? 4 pieces of cast iron welding? That is what you call a restoration! Absolutely gorgeous and you’ve done a fantastic job. Another fantastic video.
I was waiting for the pin to break. Those are one time use items.
A split pin is used as a retainer on a clevis, or to keep a castellated nut from backing out. That split pin should be a taper pin, the pin removed and subsequently broke appears to have been a field fix when the original pin went missing during a repair. Or at least that's my guess

Really great job. And no shitty music. Thank you for that.

Wonderfully done my friend. Every video you put out is better than the last but this one seems to have gotten exponentially better.The camera work and editing were fantastic. Thanks
Oh encore une chaîne de restauration française, ça fait plaisir 😁
love the video, suggestion, you should heat up the cast iron before welding and get yourself an inexpensive electrolysis set up for cleaning parts, you'll be glad you did
Thank you, Mr. President
I don't even have the patience to clean the dishes. This was great to watch
Exceptional. You should consider investing in a Sand Blaster and Pressure washer. Normally after weld prep, Cast Iron is preheated to 600°F and then welded with 309 SS rod in short steps then covered with a heat proof blanket and allowed to cool slowly. Your repair came out looking very good, just don't bolt it down too tightly. Great Cat.
I agree, 309 being specifically designed for dissimilar metals welding
I would tig with pure nickel when make machine repairs but I guess what ever works.
Guys, guys... with cast iron the best option is to braze it. You never get it up to critical temp, and thus don't have issues with brittleness. :) Always been the best option for cast...
@Kathleen Shaw I would absolutely love to see this
@@Broadpaw_Fox For visual repairs, not for structural.
Stunning! The hammerite paint is perfect! Love your attention to detail! ❣️
"Very Hard" pretty accurate while seeing such amazing old things, love the stuff you are doing, please keep going or soon old tech will be lost forever.
Older tools seem to have much more character than new ones, eh? Elegant work on an elegant machine. I'd too would have picked that color.
That turned out to be a beautiful piece of equipment. I always love your videos. Hello to you, your father, and Avril!
What a beautiful piece of antique equipment! And the restoration just a beautifully done! Always amazes me at how well the old iron stands up in comparison to today's steel, never rotted out! Just a little on the surface. 😊
Très captivant ! La présence du chat et le bel environnement extérieur rendent le visionnement encore plus plaisant :)
Fantastic, as always! **gives Avril a head scratch**
Excellent work. I love seeing these pieces of history saved, especially when its the odd ducks like this. Who would think to preserve a massive vintage drill? ...Most people wouldnt, thats why stuff like this disappears to the annals of history or ironically becomes valuable because its rare. Good on you man. Now keep it preserved so it doesnt rust to dust again haha!
The absolute know-how and patience to do this type of restoration is commendable
MAN I GIVE YOU A TON OF CREDIT FOR TAKING ON THIS RESTORE. TURNED OUT AMAZING
Beautiful! If civilization ever falls back to the 19th century this will be priceless.
Great Job! Thank You for keeping this nice machine from ending up in a scrap pile!
Wow it's incredible to see that they had such precision machinery back then.
amazing job! I love seeing this old tools and thinking about how someone came up with the idea in the first place

Grandad had just such a drill, I remember my brother and I drilling lots of holes in a steel adapter plate for the engine on his boat. Fantastic bit of kit.
This is such a great work! I’ve watched almost all your videos!! You’re amazing!! And the way he handles it… it’s so gentle and calm. The new videos are more soothing though, with no fast forwarding, just cutting some pieces. But great stuff, guys 🧡
Great craftsmanship. And thanks to the inspector cat for endorsing the artistry.
From Lincoln Electric; Welding Techniques without Preheat The size of the casting, or other circumstances, may require that the repair be made without preheat. When this is the case, the part needs to be kept cool, but not cold. Raising the casting temperature to 100 degrees F is helpful. If the part is on an engine, it may be possible to run it for a few minutes to obtain this temperature. Never heat the casting so hot that you cannot place your bare hand on it. Make short, approximately 1” long welds. Peening after welding is important with this technique. Allow the weld and the casting to cool. Do not accelerate the rate of cooling with water or compressed air. It may be possible to weld in another area of the casting while the previous weld cools. All craters should be filled. Whenever possible, the beads should be deposited in the same direction, and it is preferred that the ends of parallel beads not line up with each other.
i know nothing about welding, but that welding looked super wack.
I know very little, but I know that welding cast iron is a bitch. The problem is heat stress, the filler shrinks and the casting doesn't, so without peening the weld, you are left with lots of stresses in the metal.
Magnificent work and so happy that the orange cat was in your video
Seems that Cats love machinery. All mine did.

@@johndifrancisco3642. LOL John. They sure entertain us don't they.
@@Dave-ty2qp Yep, sure do. The best was when I was tiling my bathroom walls and pressing them into the adhesive. I look to my side and there she is with both paws pressing against a tile and even moving her paws around. She was looking at me as if to ask if she was doing it right! That was Myrtle, one of 2 inside cats I had. I think that was one of the smartest things I've seen a cat do.
You work in a heavenly calm environment! The song of birds as background music, greenery and flowers all around and Avril. Seriously, who could want more ... We can understand why you work like a master!
140 years later and still works perfectly these old machines always intrigued me by the style design and just the pride they had in making tools then
Remarkable, a tremendous demonstration of patience and hard work. Well done.

Nice piece and great work, you are a craftsman. I can appreciate the difficulty in stick welding cast iron, great job. The big old square nut dates the piece, over a hundred years old and working as well as when it was new.
Definetly in the top 10 restorations of all time!
That was a massive restoration. I think the automatic down feed is ingenious and I have never see such a complex hand drill before. It must have cost a year’s pay when new. Even though I generally go for machinery grey I like the green. Is the wheel on top a flywheel or for more leverage if required and I thought cast iron didn’t like being welded with out pre heating but you said you were trying to avoid to much heat by stitch welding. Is it better not to pre heat? Looking forward to part 2. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺
.
For welding cast iron preheat it to around 400 fahrenheit to avoid cracking
It would have been better to channel the parts and braze them back together. It would have been a much stronger repair since the brazed metal will flow into all of the cracks, rather than a surface weld where the extreme heat makes the cast iron hard and brittle, more likely to break again. I never like seeing people weld cast iron, as I've seen many parts ruined by failed welds that break later and are even more difficult to fix because you have to grind the now very hard weld and underlying hardened cast iron off before you can repair it again, if even possible.

Hi again from England... Original colour would be been a Matt black oil base... The split pin you used...remove it and make a proper replacement... Apart from that very nice... These types of drills turn up on ebay...and they're usually unnamed....
Incredible! 😳👍 The only thing I'd do differently is replace that broken pin with one that appears original (1/4" bar stock with slits cut at the ends?) and paint it blue.
A 140 year old tool. Your video is testament to just how well built they were. Excellent restoration!
It's such a pleasure watching you restore a wonderful machine that at the time was made to last many many years years, restored back to life. a real love story
Your like Bob Ross with a wire brush. Very relaxing to watch history come alive.

Incroyable votre travail les gars! 🙌 Bravo!
The de-assembling-parts are still so well oiled ?! Amazing for such a Tartarian-Era machine !
Once, in Year 2000, we wanted to weld a piano frame. Also cast iron. We also bought a suitable welding rod. It broke again in addition to welding. Failed. A flat spring from a truck is then placed underneath. Then we riveted. This thickened the frame. Because of this, we had to cut it out of wood so we could paste it in. It's still good. This is resistant to the 15 tonne pressure caused by the drawn strings. Maybe we needed a yellow cat for a successful weld. :D :D :D :D It's good to watch your videos. Greetings from Slovakia.

Don't take this the wrong way, but the weld penetration in those cracks with cast iron that thick that wasn't preheated isn't that great and they'll reappear with use.
