- I found this post drill at the farm during my exploring at the farm part II. I decided to bring it home and fix it up!

Outstanding restoration video !!! I was totally amazed at your home made sand blasting machine , I think you are a genius and a gifted young man , not only did you get it working , you made it beautiful , wonderful to watch , well done for saving it .
Yeah, your sandblaster was really cool!
I would love to see a demo on the sandblaster you created! It worked and I would love to make one.
Great job on restoring the drill press!
Impressive!
Very refreshing to see In an age where people are made to think newer is better. Nice job restoring it. I would love a flywheel like that for a garden decoration.
Another great video, thanks Austin!
Not only did you get it working, you got it looking new! Great job, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for teaching me how an old drill like that works with all those gears. Your restoration of an antique tool was beautiful to watch and I learned a lot from you.
Very impressive. You did a great restoration job.
Great video! Glad you rescued the press from the field. When I saw your other video, I was hoping you would rescue it. Enjoyed this and your sand blasting !
It was so nice to see an abandoned and rusty tool restored to lustrous and smooth working condition. Everything was so much more labor intensive in the old days.
Fantastic effort mate. It's great to see a young bloke restoring old tools with the purpose of using them. Love the vlogs all the way down here in Australia
Wow, pretty amazing...you did a GREAT job!
My favourite video of yours so far.🙂
I wasn't quite sure what it was you'd found, but was fascinated to see it come back to a useful life - and, with it being something you can use, that's even better! :)
It may take more effort to use, as all the older tools were (I guess that's where the term 'elbow grease' came into it's own), but it has stood the test of time, unlike so many 'modern' tools!
Also, if there were an emergency, where power might be out for some time, it'll be you who will still be able to use it! Lol
Well done for having the time, patience, and love, to preserve yet another piece of istory :)
I did not think I would be intrested in this kind of video but found it extremely interesting. just watching how you restore this drill from what it was, to a useable drill. I loved it! Would love more videos like this.
Great video. Love seeing things restored and usable again. Great job!
I absolutely adore manual tools. There is a TH-cam channel Mr. Chickadee who only uses manual tools to build beautiful things. Your talent, patience and filming methods are top notch! I have no doubt your channel will continue to grow. Nice job restoring this old item into something useful again. It looks brand new!
Brilliant restoration! I love your videos because of the outstanding work you do and the great dialog you provide while at work. You have a fantastic voice as well as great knowledge.
Thank you.
Great job!
Awesome video!. Really enjoyed watching the rebuilding and restoring of this antique back to a beautiful working machine. Loved every minute of this from the sandblasting to the music. Creating these videos take a lot of time and effort, thank you so much for sharing.
Awesome! So glad you restored that old tool. You do such great work and I enjoy your videos so much.
Austin you never cease to amaze me. I love that you can make something out of nothing .
Great restoration. I have a large leg vice that was my dad’s, I’m going to restore it so I can use it too now thanks to you.
I was hoping you would do that, nice find and good job on the refit looks new.
Great job. Look into electrolysis for rust removal. It would also make for a cool video.
OH MY GOODNESS!! YOU are amazing!! I had to go and see how you made the sand blaster too. I will be watching all of your videos, Very impressive young man!
Your videos just keep getting better and better, and every one is very interesting. Excellent job!
Well done!
AWESOME, looked like a lot of work to restore, but looked amazing when it was done.
Thank you Austin!
Austin, this was a fantastic renovation!! I loved how you made it work again. Love your videos!! Would love to see your workspace and tools you use. Great work!!!
Looks like it needed some cutting fluid or oil to make it go smoother but this was cool! You did a nice job restoring a piece of history!
Amazing !! I can remember, as a youngster, that my grand dad had one just like this in his work shop. One thing I do recall is he would sometimes make it my job to DRIP a small amount of oil onto the bit, to make it easier to drill the hole. I don't remember the drill having lateral movement. Could you have one more bolt missing, where the drill is mounted onto the post ? NICE JOB !! Worth some money !!
Yeah I only had it bolted on one spot when I made the video lol I wasn’t sure if that was the height I wanted it at but it’s solid now!
Good job Austin! It's beautifully restored and useful! Love these kind of videos, Thank you for sharing :)
It may take more effort but your drill will work always if there is someone around to spin it. ;) No electricity needed. Awesome restoration.
Austin, would you consider making a video on how you made your sand blaster? This was a wonderful video! You did such a remarkable restore! Thanks for making this video! :)
Yes I can do that!
@@AustinTischler Thank you! :)
I'll second that request about your sand blaster. :) Thanks !!
@@BruceInFlorida :)
Very cool. Thank you for sharing 🌞🌞🌞
Great Post....thanks...col
AWESOME BLOSSOM

The drill press came out really, really nice!
Beautiful even♥️
Out on the farm looks like you would have a good stock of reclaimed wood, glass, vintage door knobs and firewood. That wood was really 2" when you got a 2" board instead of 1 & 7/8 or whatever it is. I feel cheated every time I buy lumber and then have to do crazy math for a project.
nice look with the 2 tone finish , it does still do its job thats cool, we also had a bigger one in are old barn my sister has it now at the cottage , i think its still there , the sand blasting was priceless lol , i have a 1960's black and decker massive hand electric low geared power drill they would use on I BEAMS , i use it for mixing cement , one time i put in gravel in the pail of cement to mix concrete just for a joke to see if it would do it as usually im mixing floor tile cement with out gravel , it almost broke my wrist smashing the gravel right through the sides of the 5 gal pail, totaled it bursting the pail side right out lol , that drill has amazing torque and power ! its a wrist snapper for sure lol, great vlog and even if you dont use it it looks nice
Hi Austin, I recommended a book to you on wood by Eric Sloane. He also was interested in early American tools and has a book with illustrations. Also, there is a Museum in Kent Connecticut with all early tools. Just thought I’d pass the info on.
Great restore and presentation. They just don’t make tools to last out of good material. Cheap plastic so it will be used a few jobs and then replaced. That way company’s can keep getting you to spend your money.
You are amazing.
Um. Loved watching this. What type of drill bit? A hardened drill tip might help, and oil on the metal being drilled? My dad had something one step newer than this, and I grew up hearing about cooling oil and carbide drills. Any help in this situation? It's very pretty too.
It’s called an HSS (high speed steel) bit
Hi Austin.... Although I subscribe to several channels, yours is always the one I watch first. No matter how esoteric or mundane the subject, you never fail to make it interesting and informative. I am always pleasantly surprised and entertained; thank you for sharing your skills and creativity. Who would have thought that I would be fascinated by a rusty old drill?? Can't wait for the next video!
Thank you for the kind words! I’m glad you enjoy watching!
