I have two hanging in my shop, a Silver and Deming, and a Champion. Both drills operated fine when i got them. After seeing some that were restored on TH-cam, I was very tempted to do the same. In the end, i made the wise choice of not making mine pretty. In fact, I didnt even dismantle and derust mine. I simply applied a liberal amount of oil to everything and let it soak in. After a day or so i wiped away the excess, applied a dab of grease to the gears, oiled the quill, then hung them up.
I liked the way they looked once the oil soaked in. I also like the fact that they look nearly the same as they did when i got them. Mine no longer look rusty, just like 100 year old steel.
Bravo to you for leaving them in their working clothes for the most part.
Thanks and good to hear your experience!
Wow wow wow !!!!! Ready for another 100+ years, brilliant 😊
No doubt!
Thanks for sharing with us Chris, you’re doing a great job around there 👍👍. Fred.
Thanks! More to come.
Fantastic !! I subbed. Will binge watch. I too collect tools from that era.
Thanks and welcome!!
Great job Chris, it would have been if the video was a slower though !!! Stay Safe, have a nice day !!!.
Agree.
I love your videos😍😍
Thank you!
Wonderful drill, amazing repair, good work !! Thank you, Chris!
Thanks!
Amazing! Have fun making some lovely stuff with that!
Thanks! Sure will.
I really think you should do a video of just the looks on your wifes face every time you walk into the house with something like this.....lol
Great video buddy.
For sure. I also keep dinging up the walls of the basement stairs when I carry all this stuff down to my shop.
beautiful job Chris!!!
Thanks!
That's beautiful!! I really need to find some of these.
Thanks and good luck!
I have one coming soon myself. 👍
Great! Good luck!
Nice to know some precious information like this . Thnx to know us about
Glad you enjoyed it.
@@ChopWithChris thnx for riply from you
👍🏻
Nice job 👍
Thanks.
it's very beautiful looks a lot like one I recently bought mine is an Allentown
Cool!
I thought myself to be fast at disassembly but I'm nowhere quick as you.
I’m thankful for video editing!
Neither is as fast as SpaceX can be when they exhibit one of their patented "unplanned rapid disassebly" processes :D
Amazing job as always. And I have one question what was the liquid you used on the drill
Evaporust
I bought a post drill over 10 years ago. I finally got it set up, only to discover it only fit one size of drill. I rigged a chuck to fit, but it isn’t right and doesn’t drill straight. I can’t clamp wood to drill because it wobbles. It also drills very slowly. I got it from a blacksmith, but I need to drill wood. I’m not sure what to do with it next. I’d really like to get it working. I live off-grid and have lots of hand tools, and pedal and hand powered tools. I agree… electricity is overrated. :) But my drill still doesn’t work…. :(
That’s a bummer but don’t give up on it!
$14 USD in 1900 is about $435 USD today, in case anyone was curious!
Quite a deal!
Y'all should see how he vacuums the shop. Lets just say, that's a big straw!
?
Would it be more ergonomic about 6-8'' higher? Pretty sweet machine, though.
It’s good for my height. If you go too high then you kill your shoulder.
@@ChopWithChris You would know better than me! Thanks
Nice restoration job. I just wish you could slow the disassembly and assembly part of this video down. I have one of these drills and am trying to figure out what I'm missing where the quill connects to the down screw.
Email me a few more details about your question and I can pull something together.
@@ChopWithChris Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it. Its people like you that make TH-cam great.
You are most welcome! @@42musket
Does it take square shanked drillbits, like the ones from standard braces? Or can it handle any round shanked drillbit?
I have and always will admire hand powered drilling tools, they are superior in controll to electric powered drills in my opinion
It takes round drill bits. I agree that these machines have i credit ratings precision.
Can this type of drill be used to drill metal ?
I love tools like these who don't use electricity 🤩
Absolutely!
THIS ONE REALLY MISSED ME
👍🏻
Perhaps a commission or collaboration with Olfoundryman. He does replicating of parts that is indistinguishable from original and has a channel on TH-cam so you can see what his work is like. Good luck.
Thanks! I’ll check that out.
I am restoring a similar drill named No 47, with the steel barrel 2 feet long. No 51 on the bottom barrelstop. Wonder if you know what factory made mine?
I do not. Have fun!
❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👌👌👌👌👌
Thanks!
Круто! Молодец!
Спасибо!
@@ChopWithChris 😊
Rustoration
👍🏻
Chris does evapo rust leave a Patina like vinegar would?
Yes
@@ChopWithChris Is that a good thing?
4:48 Repair? Not replace? Would this be welded?
It was welded.
@@ChopWithChris Cool, hope it turned out well. And thanks for the response on a 2-year-old video!
