Antique Jewelry Lathe [Restoration]
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ม.ค. 2019
- This tool restoration was on a 1920s jewelry or polishing treadle lathe (Model 29 1/2) made by the Goodell-Pratt Company. These lathes were made for light-duty use and came with a number of different attachements, including a buffing wheel spindle.
This specific lathe seemed to contain parts from larger lathes made by Goodell-Pratt at the time. Regardless, each part was in fairly good condition, with only the chuck needing some machining. The ring on the chuck was welded up and knurled again, but the steel became quite hard after welding and annealing that it did not turn out the best it could. I am not sure what the type of steel is, so it's possible it can air harden.
The original colours, as noted in catalogue listings were black and vermillion. I am sure sure if this grey painted base is original.
I made a dead centre out of case-hardened mild-steel.
I really hope to find the larger versions of this lathe as they had a full cross-slide that enabled you to do some nice metal lathe machining.
If you want to know more about my process and history of this tool, you can check out the narrated version on my Patreon page.
I'd like to thank Evapo-Rust for sponsoring this video.

Okay, I've only just discovered this channel, but what a breath of fresh air. Someone who does not disassemble stuff in slow time using tweezers to remove a 1/2" washer and then giving the viewer a 30-second close-up as if they have just spent hours extracting it from some poor sod's brain stem!! Bravo Sir, keep up the good work!!
I agree 100%. Also the wearing of gloves for everything, as though touching any substance is going to give you aggressive cancer.....
What I really like is that he actually restores tools from how they have actually aged.
There's so many restoration videos on TH-cam where the person claims to have found the tool buried after a hundred years and the thumbnail makes it seem like it's just a lump of rust, whwn you can clearly tell they buried it themselves just to get extra mud and rust on it so it looks even worse than it actually is. And I don't doubt that in many of those videos, they swap the tool halfway with one that isn't as damaged and finish with that one.
Love your videos. It’s always fascinating t to watch to take apart stuff and the reassemble them like magic. And the “no frills” strategy really works too. No long dull “host introduced speech” explaining what’s coming up, no carefully selected choreographed soundtrack. Straightforward, and to the point. Thumbs up from another Canadian!
Thank you!
A year ago you needed to get a bearing extractor. Now you use cnc lathe and cnc milling machine. One hell of a channel expansion.
One of the most amazing things about these videos is how you never talk! Taking stuff apart especially, I would be constantly talking to the workpiece, especially if it didn't want to come apart.
You should do a shop tour I dont think I've ever seen it all at once that mill/lathe machine is just sick
I got one of your wrenches for Christmas and I love it.
Thank you for all your work.
S that's how chucks work? I never even thought about it before I saw this one taken apart. Ingenious.
One of the few genuine restoration channels. Most are fakes. You, sir, are not.
"My Mechanics" comes to town and all of a sudden everyone works up to a different standard. Ain't competition a fantastic thing ?
Amen. I am SOOOO glad this guy is no longer acting like one of the Three Stooges. It took a long time to try his channel again...so glad I did.
You are an mazing mechanic, no need for all the goofiness, just a little goes a long way
@@allisondickey1882 the goofing is the best part about the channel xD
You are fantastic. It is nice to open your channel and see that you have published a new and wise restoration work. Thanks Claudio.
Earplugs to plug holes for paint... brilliant!
Your work with metal like poetry.
You always find the coolest tools. Great video!
Did you get thumpen Sally going for mark.
i know Im randomly asking but does someone know a method to log back into an instagram account..?
I somehow forgot the account password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me.
@Graham Felipe Instablaster :)
@Albert Randall I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Albert Randall it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my account !
Ahhhhhh the start already! Missed you sir!
Nice one! Now its time to make some jewelry!
New shop tour, Uncle Fricker!
Dude, you're videos always crack me up. Love the humor incorporated into the love for old engineering and items built to last. Keep it up, sir! I know this is an older video, but I am a subscriber and follow all of your posts.
I bend the the knee to thee, oh thine liberator of stubborn fixtures everywhere....may thy noble techniques bring joy, to tool breakers everywhere.
Your wife will love the jewelry you just made.
Man, when you decided to get a lathe and mill, you went all out. Well Done!!
Now I see why you did "nut" release a new video earlier ! Congrats, this cnc lathe/mill looks awesome ! Cheers from France.
That video was AWESOME!!!!!! You actually duplicated a brand new part!!! Really impressed. Thanks for sharing. :-)
I still say that's the best brass suppository maker on the market. ;)
Simply amazing! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I understand obsessive men & women at work 'cause I'm in these numbers.😊 Saludos desde Tucumán en la República Argentina.🇦🇷
Using a big modern lathe to restore a tiny old one :)
Nice video, I see you've stepped up your recording techniques as well.
"I used the lathe to create the lathe"
Thanks HTR. This is the best birthday gift ever, you uploading this video today
Happy Birthday!
@@HandToolRescue Thanks! :)
So lucky you got noticed by sempai! Happy birthday stranger!
Notice me senpai! Notice me.
@@thelos3999 Thanks! :)
That groove that was worn in the tool rest... This thing saw some hours!
It’s way too cute and I want one. I already have a nice mini lathe, but now I need a micro lathe and a macro lathe.
I truly appreciate you putting your meds over the lens to help protect my eyes 😊
Yes, the photosensitive epileptic community does too lol (of which I am not a member, just regular random epilepsy lol)
Good job
That chuck runs surprisingly true.
Respectable restoration.
That intro xD I already know that this vid is going to be great.
Where do you guys keep finding all this unusual, rare or just plain different equipment to restore, as I've gone to farm, workshop, commercial and industrial clearances, trash and treasure markets, and I can never find collectable equipment to restore. There's everything else but !!! Another great resto bro 👍👍 Greetings from Woomera, South Australia.
www.carolinaauctionhouse.com, I have bought all kind of tools, new and old. Super deal and they have on-line bidding.
A great place to find things of this sort is estate sales,antique stores.
I have owned three of these lathes and yes this one has been added to and treated badly, glad you found it and brought back to life.
I love old tools and I love watching old tools being brought back to life!
I have read a lot of comments from old tools :-)
Your Evapo-Rust bucket seems to be growing exponentially...
مرحبا
That's a little beauty! Thanks for including the CNC lathe work! How do you suppose the old mounting plate got so badly chipped, over-tightening, being dropped, or? That steady rest had quite the wear! Great restoration!
I miss the workshop man.
That's a pretty neat little device to be honest.
Sweet been wondering when a new vid was coming 😀
You really had to work hard to 'bust that nut' but your concentration and perseverance paid off! hehe
Wow what a wonderful tool. What a find. Going to sit here drink my morning coffee and enjoy watching your video. Nice way to spend a dark rainy Sunday moring
Very cool my dude! Dad mode engaged!
All hail the Nut Releaser!
Yeah strange that, it's the same thing I call my Wife
I figured nut buster sounded tougher.
@@TheTrulyInsane how odd. That's what I also call your wife. Jk jk
@@AnonOmis1000 LOL ya bastard :)
The workshop version of 'The Nutcracker'!
"I am the nut releaser!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
I would but one of your shirts with that quote on it.
Thumbs up just for shielding the weld! Thanks for doing that.
Eine sehr schöne Arbeit. Diese Restauration ist Ihnen sehr gut gelungen. Ich beneide Sie um ihre tolle PC-gesteuerte Drehmaschine.
Every video i just think how much I want you to set a Fisher price toy on the bench and restore it as seriously as any tool.
Oh, I will.
it's all plastic, not much to restore lol
Mad9977 Productions I was thinking of the wooden ones from my childhood. They had plastic but usually body was wood.
@@FearsomeWarrior these were the good old times, now almost everything is made of plastic...
@@Mad9977 and china
Awwww Sweet!
A new episode of Nutella Rescue, as sponsored by the Maple sugar conglomerate!
It's ON, like Donkey Kong!
I think I missed the episode were you switch from what looks like a barn to a professional metal shop, great work btw keep it up
I want that lathe soooo bad, I turn a lot of little parts and that would be perfect. Gorgeous work my friend, keep it up. Your not just restoring an old machine, I like to think of people like us as preservers of time...
Not one to beaten by my mechanics, you had to upload the next day. Of course, he was acting in response to Restore It's video. This is good weekend.
If the part is not being held centered in the chuck, ensure that you assembled it in the proper order:
1. remove all 3 jaws
2. capture jaw #1 in slot #1 first
3. rotate 120°
4. capture jaw #2 in slot #2
5. rotate 120°
6. capture jaw#3 in slot #3
Nice paint booth!
Great Releaser of All! Give us more videos!
👍👍👍
Really liking the restoration videos, keep posting them. Just one question though. What was the piece of jewelry you made with the lathe at the end. 😉
Lovely little lathe. Can we watch you making some earrings with it?
It was really cool to see use a bunch of different tools and techniques with this one.
Man, it has been a long time since you have rescued a hand tool...
You should mount that on an old sewing machine base for foot power!
Another amazing restoration of a beautiful looking old tool.
Just be careful with that drive belt coming off the pulley around the 26:00 minute mark.
Looks like a jump cut. Perhaps there are two diameters on the pulley for high and low speed?
WHY?
WHY
greg joyner
Why? Because it’s not in the groove designed for the belt to run in.
Fancy seeing a tool built in my hometown. Fantastic work!
The four-layer chuck was pretty neat.
I went to school with Chuck Releaser........his sister was known as the Nut Releaser.
Such a good guy.
@@HandToolRescue The real git was his cousin Gas Releaser...
Didn't Chuck Releaser marry into the DeGreaser family...Swarfega DeGreaser, I believe? A slippery one that Swarfega!
I must have been married to her cousin Ball Buster.
Did you introduce her to penetrating oil?
Hmm....that CNC milling and machining is a new step, did you outsource?
That’s a badass lil project done very nicely as usual! Thanks for sharing, glad you’re back😉
Super jealous of your lathe and CNC setup. Keep the awesome videos coming!!
Looked like concentricity issues at the end. Little surprised you didn't machine the jaws to the shaft. I enjoy your vids though. Thanks!
You need a toolpost grinder and you close the jaws around a ring to hold the backlash. Kieth Rucker has a video or two on it somewhere in his archives
Its not the jaws, you can't make a chuck backplate on another lathe, you have to machine it on the spindle it is to be fitted to. And hand grinding a centre... It all makes for something as accurate as a not very accurate thing.
@@andybelcher1767A, this is a tiny, light duty lathe, B, the concentricity between the backplate and the chuck is not an issue if you grind the jaws. That's why you grind the jaws - the tension ring is to take up the backlash of the jaw helix screw vs jaws, thus making the inside of the jaws move concentric ally for grinding. Without a proper toolpost however, getting a grind anything like true is indeed difficult to impossible
Why testing lead? And what if there's lead what are you going to do? Thanks for answering my questions
You don't want to sand or blast lead paint in order to prevent airborne lead dust from contaminating everything or being inhaled. And you NEVER want to weld on anything with lead paint; it gives off large amounts of lead fume that are easily inhaled and will poison you.
I love how you always get these things more torn apart then I think they can get. Another awesome video!
The CNC action was on Point. Amazing restoration as always.
13:00 Awww they grow so fast, I remember when that wire wheel was a small one.
Nice restoration.
What about the drag saw you teased us in older videos?
It will happen. Probably this summer!
Never ceases to amaze me how you can make em look like it came off the factory floor. Awesome job 👍
That is one big-ass wire wheel!
I'm expecting a half tanker of evaporust next videos.
26:02 hey clickspring. watch and learn
:-))))))
Chris has literally never made anything out of brass, ever.
@@rolandszakats3617 Whoosh!
@@rolandszakats3617 r/woosh
.Testing for lead paint after you have sprayed on stripper is a dumb move. The chemicals in the stripper could very well cause a false positive or negative.. The testing needs to be done on a clean untreated surface.
What a magnificent piece of history and thanks for showing us some of the hidden jewel machines we rarely see in your shop!
Another great restore....
12:00 im sorry but I almost died laughing when I read "I am the nut releaser!" xD
Inspired, for sure.
Have you ever noticed how strange a left hand nut feels? Going in the wrong direction and all....
Did anyone else have to google vermillion? LUL It's red btw for anyone else that didn't know.
Thanks,now I don't have to. It sounds like a bug.
Just added to your answer Big T ~ ~ ~ not stealing anything from ya. Vermilion (sometimes spelled vermillion) is both a brilliant red or scarlet pigment, originally made from the powdered mineral cinnabar, and the name of the resulting color.

I know it because of Slipknot
@Dik dic did you know that verbillion is a thousand times redder than vermillion?
I really enjoyed this video. old tools are like a work of art
That little thing is going to come in handy for sure. Wonderful Job
You have access to a professional lathe, yet you made a dead center by grinding on a belt grinder? Unfathomable. The video was good though. Thanks for posting
Eu pensei a mesma coisa.
E as 3 peças do meio estão montadas ao contrário.
Maybe he's just that good
Is it just me, or is that wire wheel getting bigger every job you do? Nice work BTW
Very Cool restoration Sir. I didn't even know that there were jewelry lathes. Thanks for showing this awesome Lathe
No matter how you look, you are a genius. You are a real good person who enjoys the fun of knowing others. I'm not good at English
Watching you use those adjustable wrenches backwards is killing me
Great video, i want to ask you what you do if your test lead turn red? 🤔
Thanks! Just don't make the paint airborne.
ooo thank you 😊
@@HandToolRescue well that's incredibly vague. How do you avoid that?
William by not turning it into particulate and making it airborne.
Don't lick it
Awesome find! Great refurbishment.
Boley was the lathe i had and was one of the most common for jewlers in my area, easy to get parts for. Was a really good lathe. Great for Gold, Silver, Platinum work. Good job. Love to see these old tools restored. Good tools such as these are hard to find. And in most cases are in someones collection. To me i would rather use them. And these tools all had their own personality when you used them.
Am I the only person who looks up the company name to see if they’re still in business?
Me Here are they?
Kenneth Stephens They went out of business during the Depression.
They were a rival company to Bickford and Carrier of Greenfield. My Great Grandfathers company.
A majority of their stock was purchased by Millers Falls in 1931 and G-P merged into them in 1932. In 1962 M-F was purchased by Ingersoll Rand.
Bickford and Carrier went on throughout WWII and Korea. They relocated the business to Boynton Beach ,Fla circa 1956. It dissolved in the early 60’s. B&C made at one time bayonets for the M1 Garand rifle during the war, and later made the Cormorant fresh water fishing reel.
Did you self teach machining? It’s something im really interested in and my question is can I learn on my own in your opinion? Another freakin awesome video by the way.
You easily can, just remember. Stay clear of spinning things, it can grab and kill you in less than a second; and stay clear of exploding drill bits and milling tools when you drive the machine too hard.
Im a carpenter for 18yrs i dont buy cheap tools! Thank you for the input.
@@robertgemski7728 But, no, really, you can learn by trial and error. Just get a practical problem and with enough screwups (non-life-threatening) you'll get good. Machinign is like carpenting. but with a HELL OF A LOT more torque and therefore clamping pressures and stability and tolerances.
i say learn by a bit of everything. its how i learned alot of mechanic stuff
You Sir are the Lathe Chuck Norris!
Best restoration channel i ever know 😚
12:02 “I AM THE NUT RELEASER”😏
Токаря есть? Я чет невкурю он че стамеской точил?
Да🤣
Nice! I had my doubts in the beginning, but you really pulled it off!!!! Thanks!
Nut release feels so good!
