All I can find online is that it’s called a drill powered circular saw. I would love to find more information about it. I can’t believe how straight & true She cut. I think I’m going to make a video just on the saw. She could use a little freshening up anyway.

Yup. That was a fun little cleanup. Thanks Ivan. It was cool doing it at night when the chickens were sleeping, dog put away & no city noise. It was just Me, The Ratchet & My Camera. It was actually peaceful. I might have to try that again.

This is what I do when I’m bored @ 21:00. After goof’n around with this ratchet, I was bored again @ 21:04 because it was done. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😎 She’s all packed up and ready to fly First Sergeant.

@@spiderlovesbeerohyeah4760 I’m a Fan !! Thank you again !!! What goes around comes around 👍🇺🇸

@@Living-The-Dream It’s come around many times Sir. It’s time to give back. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thank You Sir. These are fun little ratchets to play with. I love how the old stuff polishes up so well with little effort. The disassembly/assembly is so basic yet so intricate. Now it’s time to find something else to mess around with.

Oh Yeah !!!!!!! That’s some good stuff there. I like it because it’s food friendly for my mixers & Blendors. I haven’t ate any yet but I might try it someday. Thanks Steve

Best wax ever made. I wish they would bring back this formula. It works so well. I have to be very conservative with it though. Once this can is gone, it’s gone forever.

Thanks. It’s amazing what some old car wax & lots of elbow grease can do. She came out clean & smooth as glass with that stuff. Now She has Rock-Hard Protection for years to come.

You’re always right Sir. Hahaha. I have an old Ace Hardware Store near me. They always have everything I need. I thought those bibs were discontinued years ago. Maybe they’re new old stock just sitting in the back room of that old Ace.

Thanks Ivan. Yeah, I was amazed at how She came out. There was some nasty brown paint on top of the lamp shade part. (You can see it at the 30 second part of the video) That old wax took it right off. I was expecting bare metal underneath but the original paint was still there. Someone must’ve spilled that brown paint on it somehow.

It looks great. I like to use a similar lamp on my workbench

@@ivanstiles7030 Yeah, I think this old lamp will be perfect on my work bench for making gaskets and stuff like that.

Me too…. It’s not paint that for sure. It feels like porcelain. Like on my ‘46 Wedgewood Stove. There’s some chipped spots and it’s thick. If it were paint, it would be 30 coats. Everything wiped off with little effort. They sure did make things to last back in the good Ol Days….. thanks for your support. It’s all uphill from here.

Thanks Brian. I think it’s the right thing to do. Everything seems to fit perfectly. I’ll keep on keep’n on if Y’all will keep watch’n 😎

Well come on over. Free chocolate protein shakes for everyone.

Thanks Ivan. I've heard that it's hard to reach 1000 subscribers. I didn't even know until a few days ago that I was getting close. I Love fixing old things so that wasn't even on my radar. I guess if you love what you do, things just fall into place. This old machine was in beautiful shape. That black porcelain/enamel paint (or whatever it is) is some tough stuff. There's some chips and cracks here & there but for the most part, it's in pristine condition. I was amazed what was under the filth. It all came off with ease too.

Thank You Sir. I Couldn't have done it without all of you. All I'm doing is filming what I Love to do. Y'all made all of this possible by watching. I hope Y'all keep watching & liking what I do for fun. How was My cliffhanger this time First Sergeant??? Can You tell what the next project is ??

@@spiderlovesbeerohyeah4760 Is that a 56 Olds ? You were quick with the sleight of hand……vintage desk lamp??? Hmmmmmm🧐🇺🇸

@@Living-The-Dream ‘56 Olds is correct, the next project, I’m not at Liberty to say. Y’all are just gonna have to wait about 2-3 weeks. Just kidding, it’ll be done tomorrow but the video won’t be ready for a couple days. I hope I can figure it out 🤞🏼

@@spiderlovesbeerohyeah4760 I look forward to seeing it 👍 I just sent you an e-mail 👍🇺🇸

You're telling me... The little ball bearing on top was a SOB. The balls kept falling out. I've never seen one like that before. There was so much footage of Me fumbling around just with that part. I must've cut out 2 hours of footage. I Love doing stuff like this because now, if I ever get another one, I'll know exactly what to do. Thanks for your support. I'll keep doing what I'm doing if Y'all will keep watching.

ALSO! I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE that 50s art decko look of the mixer!!!!!!

Thanks. I'm still blown away that there's so many folks that are into what I'm into.

@@AndyM. Yup. I Love how things were made with style back in the old days.

Keep it up young man! "Built it and they will come"....

@@AndyM. NICE!!!!! I've been restoring/fixing old stuff for a few years. I wish I would've been filming. I have so many old tube radios from the 1930's to late 1940's that would've made great videos. I'll try to find a cool old cathedral radio from the 30's to show Y'all how to make. them Beautiful & functional once again...

I tried to make a knot on this one but the hole is to small. When that happens, I just put a small zip tie on the cord where it can’t be seen on the plug. I put on knot on that grain mill motor I did a few days ago. There was so much room on that one. I do have to learn how to coat the windings. I’ve had some really crusty ones that could’ve used some new varnish. I’ve been looking at this stuff called Sterling 77X 010. Looks like some good stuff. Thanks for the advice Brad. I can use any info on everything. I want to learn everything I can.

Such a cool little motor. I wonder what She was used for. That makeshift on/off switch is in a strange spot. I can’t imagine if there was a pulley on it and you’d have to reach over the belt to turn it on. I’ll be thinking about what She was used for all weekend. Hahaha.

Thank You Sir. These older ones are so simple. I learned something about the new wires I installed. They twisted back together like it was meant to be spliced that way. She is a smooth running like motor that’s for sure. She only has 1/6 hp So I might just slap on an old fan blade then use Her up in the rafters to move air around. I know She would love to go back to work. I ran Her for a few hours last night and She didn’t even get warm. What a beautiful motor. Made in the 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Yup. It seems like everything was made to be worked on & fixed. That whole motor cleaned up so well. There was so much nasty stuff in the bag and on that brush. That hair must’ve been from some lady a 100 years ago. Haha. I love this old stuff.

Yup. Now I have to get some corn so I can make fresh masa. Haha. It came out beautiful. I’m proud of myself. Now I have to find something else to restore. I’ll be watching your OfferUp.

I thinks that’s why they canceled that show. He got scared of me. Hahaha. Thanks Ruben. I had so much fun restoring this one. Everything went so smoothly. I’m still amazed about that rusty,filthy dirty motor. I really thought it was going to end up in the trash. I’m glad I didn’t give up. Thank Your Dad again for finding that beautiful machine.

Yeah… Those Antique Robbins & Myers Motors are Beautiful indeed. From some research, the R&M motors were last used on the Hoover model 102. My 105 shouldn’t have this motor on it. I wonder if Hoover just used up all their R&M motors on the early 105s. Hopefully there’s some knowledgeable Hoover fans watching this video so they can tell me what gives… Thanks Ivan. Time to find something else to bring back into working order.

Thank You First Sergeant. I got bored after work yesterday so I just did this little project to see if I could get Her to work again. I was surprised to see how well everything spun freely. There was so much oil in there. That’s what probably saved Her. I’m trying to figure out how to install some bristles in the roller brush thing. Now you got me think’n about the bumper strip. Let’s see what I can come up with. I want to shine everything up too. Oh and the wood handle…. She’s pretty now, just wait til I get done with Her. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

And the gojo hand cleaner is an old trick to clean up old sewing machines. Works great. No pumice though. That’ll scratch everything.

@@spiderlovesbeerohyeah4760 Would a piece of windshield/door seal work for the wrap the head part? Thanks for a number of more great lessons! I agree, now that is running great, go for it and make her shine 👍👏🇺🇸

@@spiderlovesbeerohyeah4760 Another great lesson! I think that is FAntastic 👍👏🇺🇸 Another question, if I may…….what size cooler are you using for your Evaporust? I think I need at least a 20” bottom, so I’m guessing over a 50qt……Hmmmmmmm Another great idea on your part, use it, pull the plug, back in the 5 gal jug…….Brilliant 👍🇺🇸

@@Living-The-Dream I’m not sure how many quarts but She’s 24” long, 13” wide & 15” tall. She’s perfect for most of my projects but there’s time I wish She was a little wider. I’ve been looking at yard sales for an old beater that’ll still old liquid.

It’s a tough learning curve. Like this old grain mill. I’ve never done anything like this in my life. So essentially, I learn how to do the restoration on this grain mill, on this grain mill. Everyday is a school day around here. Trial & Error Buddy. When I can’t find a solution for something, I stay out in the cold shop until I do. Defeat is not in my vocabulary 😎

I’m going to need one of them there Rib Eye Roasts once the meat grinder parts get here. I want a Real Rib Eye Burger. Maybe 3…… Alway Faithful 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Most of the letters look like they’ve been ground off for some reason. All that’s left is R ELECTRIC A I’ve been trying to figure how what it is too but haven’t seen anything online. Let me know if you find anything. Thanks

Thanks Ivan. I’m surprised how well it came out. I guess with a little work and patience, anything can be restored to look good again. I just love the ingenuity someone had to put this all together. I think those are 8” bandsaw wheels. There’s even a 1/2” drive socket welded to a shaft that connects to the grinder piece. Total backyard ingenuity at its finest. I guess whoever made this was tired of using the hand crank to grind stuff up. Outstanding Job

These Blue Gems must each lay 2-3 eggs a day. Now I know why they’re always making noise in my videos. Haha. I have more eggs than I can shake a stick at. Come get some if you’re ever in my neck of the woods. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@@spiderlovesbeerohyeah4760 I tried the e-mail……it was sent back, non-delivery. Tried it twice……. Still returned That egg “Problem” is cool ! 😎🇺🇸

While I was opening it up and digging deeper into the motor, I was thinking I’m wasting my time. There’s no way this would ever work again. I’m glad I didn’t stop now. The video makes it sound a louder than it really is. It’s so quiet and smooth. I still can’t believe it. I had a lot of fun with this one. Hopefully the next restoration will be as fun. Thanks for watching & for your comment. That keeps me going.

Thank You. It was a labor of Love. If you have any suggestions on what You would Love to see get Restored, let Me know. As long as it’s Old, I can try to Restore it. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thanks Ruben. This was a fun one. I hope I find more of these easy restorations.

❤❤❤ 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

No….. You’re Cool for Subscribing. Let Me know if You want to see ANYTHING get restored. As long as it’s old.

Beautiful?? What, this old thing? Hahaha. Thank You…. I had so much fun on this restoration. Everything went smoothly minus not getting my Meat Grinder stuff. I was looking forward to some Rib Eye Burgers. Hopefully it’ll all come in tomorrow. Thanks for Watching. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🤙🏽

You’re going to have to point it out to Me First Sergeant. I’m not allowed to make mistakes, there has to be a reason if something looks off. Doggone it Sir…… I need to know now. Hahaha. Other than that, I impressed Myself on this one. I thought that motor was a goner. I’m Happy….. now I have to find something else to do.

@@spiderlovesbeerohyeah4760. The tension adjustment bolts, dead center, above the switch. “Green Threads” 😵‍💫 😳🇺🇸

@@Living-The-Dream Oh Hell First Sergeant….. That thing is so rusted shut I couldn’t get it off. It soaked in Evaporust for 2 days in the ultrasonic cleaner. It wouldn’t budge. Everything is cast aluminum so I couldn’t force it. If one of those pieces snapped, I would’ve been up shit creek. The hardware being painted green should’ve told You something was wrong. Come on First Sergeant, You know Me better than that by now. I always shine up the old hardware 😎 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@@spiderlovesbeerohyeah4760 lmao……yep, that’s why I said…..first boo boo I had seen ya make……course now I see why. I should’ve known better! As you were! I stand corrected 👍🇺🇸🫡 U Da Man Honest, it’s a work of art brought back from the dead……amazing skills!

@@Living-The-Dream Copy That Sir. I’m glad We got that all squared away. Hahaha. This was a fun one. I love a challenge but these easy ones are so much fun. I’m going to visit our local swap meet tomorrow. Hopefully I can find something cool & old to restore. If not, I have a 1920 Hoover Vacuum that needs some attention. We’ll See. Thanks First Sergeant, Stay Tuned……. Sir

That’s the switch that was on there. She cleaned up very nice. I took it all apart while the paint was drying. I didn’t even think about filming it. I wish I did though. It was a bear trying to figure out how the new spring fit inside. It’s a very interesting design. If you go back to the part where I show the filthy switch, (@7:20) on this video, you can see that’s the same one before an hour of cleaning. I don’t remember where I got that cord but it was in my stash. I always use period correct cords on the old tube radios I restore. New cords just don’t look quite right. I can’t wait til tomorrow. Hopefully everything will go as planned and we’ll have ourselves a finished project. Stay Tuned Sir. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@@spiderlovesbeerohyeah4760 Well you sure fooled me, I can’t believe you got that old switch to look brand new…..wow! Seeing the difference, I just figured you had a brand new one to use. Can’t wait to see the complete running set up……wonderful work again 👍👏🇺🇸

@@Living-The-Dream Yup. It surprised me too. The old toothbrush & toothpaste trick works wonders. I thought it was broken for good so I didn’t think I could fix it. That’s why I didn’t film. If I ever find another one like it, I’ll definitely film the process. Off to work now, hopefully when I get back, I’ll be able to get it all back together for the final video. Have a great day First Sergeant 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@@spiderlovesbeerohyeah4760 You too ! Don’t work too hard! Us Old Guy’s are happy just to wake up 😎😇🇺🇸

Oh shoot….. I didn’t even notice that. I’ve been so focused on these restorations and editing. Be ready to have your mind Blown First Sergeant. I dang near fell over just now. I’m editing a new video right now. Holy Smokes !!!!!!!!!!!!! Let me know what you think….. OUTSTANDING!!!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

HAHAHAHA!!!!!! This thing is so rusty & filthy…. Why do I do this to myself??? Well, I kinda Love it so it’s ok. I’m glad you caught that. It was my little joke for this video. Spread the word…. Let’s get this done.

@@spiderlovesbeerohyeah4760 You probably do it because restoring stuff rather than buying new is satisfying and a lot of people viewing agree.

@@erosion01 I do love the old stuff. It’s fun to restore and works better than anything new made with plastic. For the most part, I do this to help others that are stuck on their project. I always use TH-cam when I can’t figure something out. So I guess this is how I give back to the community. Hopefully I can get this old thing to work again 🤞🏼

She is a beauty

Thanks First Sergeant but I don’t like this motor. It’s to plain Jane. It must be from the 60’s or 70’s. This whole grinder setup needs an art deco motor from the 1920’s-30’s. I’ll keep going just to see if I can get Her to run again but I think I’m going to incorporate a period correct motor. This thing is in bad shape. I’ll be surprised if I can get Her to work. I cleaned up the on/off switch off camera. This thing is beautiful. I guess I can show you on the next video. Hahaha. Another cliffhanger 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@@spiderlovesbeerohyeah4760 lmao……a return web you spin 🕸️ I’ll Be Back 👍🇺🇸

I love how someone got tired of grinding by hand so made this. It’s genius. I don’t think the motor is as old as the other parts. I might have to slap on a period correct motor if this one doesn’t look right. We’ll see. I have so many thoughts running through my mind right now. Hopefully everything works out as planned.

@@spiderlovesbeerohyeah4760 my dad modified an old hand crank meat grinder with an electric motor. I have it now and i still use it when i process deer meat.

@@ivanstiles7030 That’s cool. Is it set up like mine with 2 pulleys?? I’m trying to figure out why there’s 2. Maybe to slow down the rotation from the motor?? It looks cool but I just want to know the reason. Venison burgers sound good right now.

@@spiderlovesbeerohyeah4760 my dads grinder only has one pulley. It spins pretty fast but works great

I don’t know how. I’ll try to find out how I can put that option in the comments. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. It’s was a cool trying something new. I think I kind of know what to do now for the next one. I’ll keep on keeping on until I get better. I love not being a professional because there are no rules for me. I just do my best with the limited knowledge I have.

Thanks Ivan. Yup, She’s ready to live on. She’s not perfect but She’s in way better shape for the next guy that gets Her.

She's perfect to me. I like that you didn't take it over the top and left some of the earned bumps and bruises.

@@ivanstiles7030 Yeah You’re Right. An old shotgun wouldn’t look right brand new. These battle scars tell a story. Thanks for that comment. I feel like I did the right thing now. Well, good for me because that was the best I could do anyway. I’m still learning….

I was learned back in the old days, if you can’t find a solution, make one. I can’t believe my tiny brain came up with the zip ties. I knew the spring had to come up somehow the be pressed into that slot. So I just stood there think’n. The seed of thought can only grow. I was happier than a 1 armed pepper picker when it worked. Thank You First Sergeant. Your kind comments keep me moving along. I just found a 1930’s meat grinder that’s been modified with an old electric motor & pulleys. I’m going to check it out after work today. I think I can fix it.
