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!!
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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...
That's a nice job you did with a neat little lathe from a classic name in manufacturing. I learned this tip for loosening frozen nuts and fittings back when I was a steam engine hobbyist. After heating the fitting with a torch, touch the hot joint with a piece of paraffin. Capillary action sucks the liquid down the tight joint and frees it (sometimes).
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.
@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.
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!
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
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
.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.
Another fine rescue. That's the biggest jewelry lathe I've seen to date. The smaller ones are more common and are also used by clock and watchmakers to work on pinions.

Hey! I forgot to let you know the 3inch wrench works fantastic I use it all the time. I build a lot of 3D printers for schools and its super helpful to get into those small spaces
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.
These restorations are wonderful. I prefer the more sedate original colors of these devices to the modern colors, but that's just my personal aesthetic sense. Since you're doing all the great work I suppose you should be the one to choose the colors!!
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
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.
It would be nice to have seen you try and impart some engineering integrity to this jewellers lathe, especially as you have access to some quite serious modern machine tools. The run out looks pretty terrible. Good cosmetic work though, but not really a machine to use without some more serious restoration, like checking the spindle and bearings and looking at the chuck runout.

S that's how chucks work? I never even thought about it before I saw this one taken apart. Ingenious.
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.
Earplugs to plug holes for paint... brilliant!
You should do a shop tour I dont think I've ever seen it all at once that mill/lathe machine is just sick

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

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.
Very Cool restoration Sir. I didn't even know that there were jewelry lathes. Thanks for showing this awesome Lathe
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.

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
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

Super jealous of your lathe and CNC setup. Keep the awesome videos coming!!
You should mount that on an old sewing machine base for foot power!
Another fine rescue.
That's the biggest jewelry lathe I've seen to date. The smaller ones are more common and are also used by clock and watchmakers to work on pinions.
That video was AWESOME!!!!!! You actually duplicated a brand new part!!! Really impressed. Thanks for sharing. :-)
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
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.
What a lovely old lathe. It would look nice mounted on a piece of polished hardwood. Unless of course you intend to use it. Great video.
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?
Thumbs up just for shielding the weld! Thanks for doing that.
Lovely little lathe. Can we watch you making some earrings with it?
The chuck restoration was the centerpiece of the content. Lucky you to have a CNC lathe!
Now I see why you did "nut" release a new video earlier ! Congrats, this cnc lathe/mill looks awesome ! Cheers from France.

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.

13:00 Awww they grow so fast, I remember when that wire wheel was a small one.

These restorations are wonderful. I prefer the more sedate original colors of these devices to the modern colors, but that's just my personal aesthetic sense. Since you're doing all the great work I suppose you should be the one to choose the colors!!
Me too actually. The key is that in 100 more years this restored one will have that nice faded colour and the others will be rusty and turned to dust!
Nice restoration.
What about the drag saw you teased us in older videos?
It will happen. Probably this summer!
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. 😉
Woke up to a new vid from HTR. I think it's gonna be a great day today!
Hope so!

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.
