You're a brave man, hitting the power switch in the beginning! Great restoration!
Wow that blue came out a lot brighter than it looked at first, I'm sure some combo of lighting, glare, whatever. Still a surprise! I gotta say though my favorite parts were the wiring and seeing it run smoothly at the end.
Thank you! Cheers!
Work of art ! Pure genious !
¡Súper genial...!👍👍👍👍

I always love the mess a new buffing wheel makes. Overall, great quality work on the wiring, it's so hard to see people doing a good job in that area on restorations ... I'm subscribing! Cheers!

Really nice paint job

I love the color, now all I need to do is get a second grinder to put my buffing wheels on. Beautifully done.
Thank you!

Thank you! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Looks like those old grinders are relatively easy to work on. I'm not familiar with the electrical wiring and such, but doesn't look very complicated. Another great job!
Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Hi TRG beautiful restoration good job well done mister

Anh hát bằng cả trái tim bảo sao mà cứ ngọt lịm như vậy. Bài nào cũng cảm xúc luôn
Nice work

Thank you! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Great Job. I can't See those Tonka Restoration Videos anymore.
Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Sweeeet - nicely balanced, too. ✌🏻🎨☕️
Thank you so much 😀
Good work.
Thanks!
I bought the 1/3HP version of this grinder at the flea market yesterday. Later that evening I was showing my nephew. I told him about the same story as your channel description as a reason why I need three grinders. Lol. 👍 nice
Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Good for another 60 years
Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Nice restoration.
Thanks!
With those polishing wheels you’ll be able to restore even more metallic objects. :)
Heck Yeah!
Verry nice and quite.
Thank you! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Te sacaste un 10 quedó genial Yel color me encanto
Thank you! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
The Fractured Blue is a great color for the restored grinder!
Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
As soon as you said, " "Rewired" with lamp cord" I cringed. One does not replace the correct wire with the wrong type of wire. That's a good way for the replacement wire to overheat and cause a fire. Love the miniature of Bob Ross when you went to start painting. I grew up watching him. An of course that last one you put in the oil just had to make a splash, making a bit of a mess. Finished work looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Excelente !
Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
amazing restoration. Happy birthday. Very good.
Thank you! Cheers!
Those old Craftsman grinders were built like tanks.
Nice restore. It would have been greater finding the grinder in the jungle covered in rust, vines and bird poop awaiting your service. Again good restore.
It's about dang time!!
lol you're tellin me! Hopefully get back on schedule now
Wow! Fantastic restoration on this Grinder. The color fractured blue looks amazing on it. I really enjoyed watching this video and I am going to subscribe so I can see more. Thanks Be safe
Thank you very much!

Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Nice job.. like the colour. Subbed here!
Thanks for the sub!
Well done! You just got a subscriber my friend!
Awesome, thank you!
I restored a 1940s Black & Decker bench grinder built like a tank !
perfect
Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Congratulations someone that does not put the old bearings in a plastic bag and pretend they are new and only replaced the essential parts great job.
Frikkin badass 💯 👌 😍
Thank you! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Excelente trabajo mejor que nuevo , saludos desde Venezuela ciudad de Maracaibo. Suscripto y like 👍👍
Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Nicely done. I am a little surprised that a small single phase motor doesn't have a start capacitor.
Красиво получилось, супер.👍👍👍👍👍
I hands down enjoy the videos you find some of the most amazing things to fix up...only my opinion as crazy as it sounds & not trying to be rude but the sandblasting i could do without its long & kinda makes my headache so I typically skip over that part..I mean by now its already a given what it the outcome is going to look like
Some folks watch exclusively for the sandblasting, gotta try to give everyone a little piece of what they want I suppose
Nice video and great work,, made me subscribe.
Thanks for the sub!
Nice restoration. Like the electrical rework. Any more posts coming from the Foundry?
Hopefully! schedule is pretty tight right now though
Great work as always. Not a fan of the colors chosen. It isn't a restoration when you change them. It's a customization. I guess for me a classic like that is deserving of its original finish. Most of the brightly colored stuff that I see now tool wise reminds me of the Chinese putting garish colors on stuff to get people's attention and promote sales. The old American tools didn't need that, they sold on quality ( as is shown in the fact that a tool that old with a little TLC can become new again ). This is all my opinion of course, and in disagreement with most that I've read. But as usual, great job in the work you do in bringing a beautiful old tool back to life.
Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
What a great restoration my friend!! It's a amazing how you remember where all the pieces goes!! Love that Blue color!! Got 5 stars from me my friend!! 🤗⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍🤩🎉👍
Thank you! Cheers!
You don’t think he can just watch the tear down video to know how it goes back together 😂
Great job buddy, I love the color, man you look as if you work out. How did you develop this skill of repairing thi gs.
Thanks, I can be seen around the gym every now and then. Restorations just seemed to be something I had a mind for, anybody can do it, just takes the right tools and some trial and error
Thanks for sharing. Lovely job on the powder coating. What's the "hot blue" chemical, please?
Good job, but guess I missed the part where he tested the windings. Could have been a waste of time if they had been bad.
Had the same thought
Great restoration. Where can I purchase the bearings from? Thank you
Very nice. One problem is the fingers of the spring has to contact the bearing outer race. Then the plate, felt seal, and outer retainer.
Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
You did just the correct amount.
Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Really enjoyed this video. I'm in the process of restoring a Craftsman bench grinder and this was very helpful. Just curious -- why do you think the motor wasn't working initially? It looks like you just thoroughly cleaned it, and that was all it needed. Did you replace the brushes or anything like that?
I reckon that off camera you made sure the motor worked before you completely reassembled the appliance right?? LOL!!
