Excellently engineered solution, sir.

Subbed and bell on! Your voice and demeanor were made for showing folks how - to's. You're also a smart guy, I enjoy watching your creations.

Amen

Any milling at all on a drill press is dangerous without a drawbar to secure the taper on the chuck & i would not have any milling cutters in a drill chuck it will come loose even light milling, get your self a mill & be safe.

Excellent work. We shared this video on our homemade tool forum last week 😎

A really good idea! Above all, it can be dismantled.

I have a 12” model that I am rebuilding. It is mostly in good shape.

Nice job!

Nice setup Mr. Kevin! I've been wanting to do something like this for a while. I like how you did this. I have 4 lathes but not a mill. I guess I should stop buying lathes and find me a milling machine... Thanks for sharing, I subbed!

Simples, e eficiente! Good…

Very ingenious, good job! My depth stop was very low quality and was not accurate whatsoever so I removed it completely. Has anyone seen a diy version that might work on my 9” unit?

Amazing

Really smart upgrades. Paint the switch knob R E D .

I can't wait to see what you post next, but I have no doubt it'll be fun to watch. Thanks for sharing

It's a well built for a Ryobi. Most of their tools barely have any metal.

Nice upgrades. I have a brother to your press. Bought it for $100 in 1968.

Nice work. I love the outro by the way. Shows pride in your work by showing the cleaning up and it also kinda says “job well done”. Kudos!

Love that switch mod!

I would replace that keyed chuck with the keyless chuck… they’re not that expensive.

Nice device to have! Thank you for sharing this video.

I like that switch arrangement. I have a similar setup. I think I’m going to use a tandem switch, one throw for the motor, one for the light.

Brillant! - an informative, nicely explained and useful video - I like the speed change lever idea and will use a version of it on my drill press Well done and thank you! :)

Upper part of the shaft of my drill press (cheap Chinese) is responsible for 90% of spindle play. Do you have any drawings or photos of such assembly?

Those are all great upgrades.

I have this same machine in my shop from the 80s. It has been a good machine & my hands use it almost without the engagement of my mind. One upgrade on mine was to replace the original set-screw in the channel that allows the table to tilt. Mine now has a permanent set that can be altered if ever I want to tilt the table. Before, it tended to tilt of its own accord. I have several drill presses now, better ones, yet I go back to this one the most.

Large trusses are built with structural old growth lumber only which is typically 3X as strong as lumberyard material. Unless the building span is very small I would not recommend anyone building their own trusses. I am an engineer,

Nice saw and mods. I love vintage craftsman saws. I had an old 10" cabinet tablesaw that was a beauty

Nice job, the only comment I have is the Technium had a rear steel triangle and the front triangle is aluminum, so the lugs were glued where the steel and aluminum come together. They did have some frame failures with this method, so check carefully for any paint cracking on the lugs.

Nice work. I’m going to have to look you up.

Nice project!

Awesome idea. Thanks for the inspiration

I purchased the same drill press in 1982. I love it and use it all the time. My looks a lot more rustic than yours. Perhaps it is time to clean it up.

Cool idea I was going to ask, you can't do top and bottom nail plates at the same time can you?

Cool! Looks pretty good! When will we get to see it run?

Enjoyed your video but a bit disappointed not to hear it run.

Awesome work, I see you are running a buzz coil yet that looks like a complete magneto because I see a horseshoe magnet, Was the coil part too far gone?

Awesome

beautifull restoration!

Very nice work. I just really like old engines

Great videos on the 40 . tip , important to grease threads on any threaded puller threads before use , if not under load threads may gall and seize sometimes damaging it beyond repair . greased threads also makes it easier to turn . i used a white calcium zinc based anti seize on all mine but any grease on hand will be better than nothing .

off of a Coldwell reel mower!. sadly is not a hit and miss but throttle governed engine very cool engine none the less!

You did a great job. Looks fantastic.

Good video, really enjoyed it, nice job

good for another 99 years, very nice job, I felt I would have liked to see it run, but then again it's done enough work. Let it rest and just look good.

That answers my question from the grinder video (which I saw first), about having the wheel recessed below the top of the enclosure to capture the water droplets. How well does that end up working anyway? Does it catch everything, or do a few droplets still escape? Also, using the same device to polish rocks AND grind chisels, just by swapping out the wheel, is brilliant. Double the use, for only a little bit more engineering! So, have you ever had/used a metal lathe or milling machine? I think you'd make great use of, and really enjoy using, those to make stuff. ...Just don't get sucked in to starting with one of those crummy little 7×## mini lathes. Keep your eyes open for an older lathe that has a Back Gear for decent torque at low speeds. (I started with a little Atlas model 618 - also commonly rebranded and sold under the Craftsman name - and have never looked back.) Cheers!

That's a really great idea! I've wondered about how you're supposed to get those plates on without smashing the little pins over sideways. You remind me a lot of the kinds of things my dad used to come up with. He made similar kinds of devices from whatever he had on hand at the time. Sometimes they looked a bit like Rube Goldberg devices that I never would have imagined - but every one of them did exactly what he wanted them to do. I'm looking forward to seeing more build ideas from you. +1 new subscriber.

Excellent build. Thank you for sharing.

Great job of a excellent idea.Thanks for the video for a future project for me.

Congratulations on a successful Fix-it! It looks as though the crash that caused the damage bent the fork only and not the frame top and down tubes. This suggests that the fork tubes were on the light side and would need careful checking for any damage other than the bend eg cracks in brazed joints, fork crown or tubes. It would also be a good idea to check the steerer; traditionally, the joint between steerer and for crown could fail in service and cause a nasty accident.

Very nice and compact unit. I'd suggest putting a SCR on it to reduce the rpm. A simple cheap one from the Chinaman would do. ;)
