Turned out great! I need to find some of that wrench spray!

Terrific.I have the same rollaway purchased in 1983ish. Doing garage makeover the toolbox restoration is on the list.

Awesomeness

I just bought this toolbox from a lady. I wasn't sure what it was until now. I have the top chest and bottom. It's extremely dirty, and I am currently taking it apart and cleaning it to restore this beautiful toolbox.

That is a really cool wrench. It did turn out nice. Do you think that spray works on everything? If so, I will have to find some 😅. Glad you got the spring set up on your drill press.

Holy smokes Dave! You have amassed quite the collection of awesomeness in your workshop over the years! You panned around the shop and my eyes kept spotting new things! That shop is certainly something to be proud of. What make is that wooden tool chest - Gerstner? Oh, and love the Blackhawk displays! "Somehow it's still level"... lol!

Thank you for your content! Great job on that restore and you motivated me to restore one as well!

That wrench looks fantastic David. It's a perfect job. thanks for the shout out and I will be getting some of those plastic bag. Great video David.

Great restore Dave! That's a deep rabbit hole that keeps snagging everyone - how far do I take it?! You are right too - sanding, polishing etc. & getting the hands dirty is therapeutic!

Love your comment about going further than you had intended. As you also stated, it’s therapeutic. That’s why we do what we do. Another great video. Thanks! (Thanks for the drill press update, as well).

That turned out wonderfully. I have some large pipe wrenches, but I don’t think I have anything that size in an adjustable wrench. Thank you so much for sharing and hope you have a great week.

That's called a "Freddie" wrench. One summer I was working mostly steel stud and drywall and there was an old laborer/cleanup guy named Freddie. One of the other guys told me years earlier Freddie had worked at Ford on an assembly line and the foreman was always pushing these guys, Freddie snapped and bashed him in the head with a huge wrench almost killing him. I guess the other guys hated the foreman too so they would drop off a few bucks and food for Freddie until he could get a new job. Today I think Freddie might do time for something like that.

David, wrench came out looking nice! I have his brother Proto 718

Beautiful bench. The coating does look good. Thanks for sharing your expertise

Wow! Looks great Dave! Nicely done sir

Awesome job David!

Too nice now to use on an old greasy piece of equipment, you might scratch it! It's a wall hanging now, I suspect. 😁

Super jealous that's the one I'm missing. Came out fantastic!

Make a display case and hang it on a wall.

Great restoration really appreciate getting to watch

The wrench turned out great! Almost too nice to use. I have one question. My wife wants to know of your magic spray only works on metal. 😄

Excellent work! That was a hefty piece of equipment to wield around on the sander and buffer. Nicely done! 😀👍

thanks for the drill press update . the wrench came out great . Thanks David

That thing is beautiful David. Super nice job! I wish I had your patience - your work is always inspirational.

You've got that absolute monster looking great! Without question you are definitely ready to change the spark plugs on a US Navy destroyer with that thing!

Incredible. Great video as usual.

Instructions? Real Men don't read those😅 fantastic job on the proto...igoing to dig thru that box ya sent for my bottle of .magic spray...I have always wanted a bigger tool 😳😅😳😅😳 kidding aside...thank ya for your kindness your awesome Brother Dave!!

Fantastic job om the proto wrench i have a bunch of wrenches to do the same too right now i am working on a 60s craftsman box i am restoring at the moment,

That big wrench was a big job! You shoulda polished her up when she was small and then hit her with the grow spray!

That dale is one F@RT smeller, I MEAN, Smart feller!!!!!!

Nice cleanup, looks real nice! 👍

Nice job on the wrench - probably one of the largest I have seen.

Wonderful David.

The quality of your work is incredible

Great job on the wrench, it looks fantastic! I’m a fan of the older S-K tools but I definitely like Proto as well. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of those either. Glad you got the drill press squared away, that thing is beautiful!

LOVE this one, David. I had the same model, inherited by me from my great uncle who died in 1983 and it never failed me. My great uncle is who taught me about tools and I'd been using that drill press since I was about 7 years old. Finally gave it to my oldest son who has room for it and it serves him well. Recently I found a bench-top drill press on Craigslist for $25, so I purchased and restored (refreshed?) it, as you did with your floor-model. Sometimes you just need a drill press and, like you, it was a blast to take something and make it better and put it into service. It does everything I need it to do at this stage of my life. Very happy you kept this one for yourself. And, please, post a video of how you fixed the spring. I think we'd like to see that. Isn't the TH-cam community great, how we can help each other out like that?

I love Craftsman classic equipment. The window cleaner done a great job and left a nice finish. Thanks for sharing your expertise and experience.

Great restoration and clean up on a classic drill press. Thanks for sharing your expertise. Now on to part 2

Beautiful restoration! I can't believe how nice of condition that table was. Usually those tables are filled with old drill holes. Great, great job and very entertaining.

Beautiful work! I wish I could find one exactly like that to restore. That is the year I was born! 1971

Very nice. I am a fan of Barnwood. Thanks so much for sharing and have a good one.

i have that same tool box. Always called it the "shoebox" chest. One of the only things I inherited from my dad!! GREAT restoration. Plan on doing that to mine now. What color paint did you end up using for the drawers and box? Would really like to get it back to original condition someday.

Turned out great! Thanks for sharing!

David, great job with this 150. Parts 1 and 2 were great videos.

Hello David, that 150 came out great. I enjoyed your video and I am glad you got the feed return spring tension sorted out. Keep up the great work.

Another Great Job

This Is A Great Job

Looks fantastic. As I was watching the assembly I thought about my visit to my storage last week. I had the impression that my shop tools are aging due to the humidity. None of them are restored and I try to keep them washed in oil. From where I'm sitting, your work really stands out as perfect. tHanks for the video

UPDATE! THE SPRING IS FIXED! Thanks to several that referred me over to @jeffsshop He posted a video explaining how to tension the spring on the same series drill press. So easy! check his channel out, he has some awesome presses and videos!

It looks great David! All your hard work paid off! I hope you figure out that return spring!
