I like how you showed the buffing mishap when the part went flying away. Happens to me all the time. Keeping it real! Genuine. Also giving us the sand paper grit, others hide that for some reason. Got my subscription for sure!
Thank you so much for checking out my video! Haha yeah that one got away from me. Honestly I mess up quite a bit. I need to start showing more of it. The project I’m working on now I put the clear coat on too soon and destroyed the paint. It all started pulling up! I had to strip down to bare metal and start over. I think it’s good to show the mess ups because it shows what can happen. I lean from my mistake and everyone else learns from watching me make it and hopefully don’t have to go through it themselves! Thank you for your support and best of luck on your projects!
Great Fun, Damian. I have the identical Sander, except it's American brand Model 10-00. Craftsman must have bought them out. Several people were wondering how to change the paper. Like mine, they must not have the slots on the end of the roller grabbers. Mine has 7/64" allen fittings on the ends... which are a bit stripped. That may be why Craftsman switched to slots on the end when they bought out American, I'm guessing. Mine also have just a nipple for oiling under the handle.
@@RestoreThis Perhaps an old electric drill or a mixer? Something with a gearbox. Your camera work is excellent. Perhaps you don't need quite so many set-ups? It. Must take *forever* to film!
You’re in luck! I have an old 20s/30s Thor drill that’s in line to be restored! I have a hand powered bench grinder then a century desk fan from the 30s/40s then I think the drill will be third! Yeah the setups make the filming take a long time. Each restoration takes about 10 days of filming and restoring then 3-4 days of editing. It’s fun to do and feedback like yours is what keeps me motivated to keep going and make more content! Thanks again for checking out my videos!
This was very impressive...I have an old Rockwell that I hoped I might see a trick in here to fix the tension in the clamps but the clamping system is different. Still enjoyed this!
Nicely refurbished. I am sure that toggle switch wasn't original. It looks like a medium size slide switch was originally there. But the tools does look very nice either way. Thumbs Up!
@Gary Mucher From checking out images online you are absolutely correct. The previous owner hogged out the switch plate and jammed in this replacement switch. The original switch was the black plastic slide switch. The electronics were definitely a tight squeeze! If I ever see another one of these on eBay for cheap I’ll likely grab it just to scavenge parts and bring this one back to 100% original. Thank you so much for checking out my video!
@@RestoreThis Ha, you don't need to buy another used sander just for such a switch. Those switches are seemingly everywhere. Just search for a SPST (Single Pole Single Throw) slide switch and pick one that is about the same dimensions as the slot opening. Even a DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) or SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) slide switch will work. A few bucks will easily get you one. Just an idea...
Looks great. I have a black & decker from the 50s I'm working on. Black & Decker no 44 sander. It doesn't work and so I took it apart to find the internal power wiring is terrible so I'll be replacing the wiring, but on top of the black knob there is a plastic screw that looks like a fuse belongs in there, but there is nothing. You wouldn't know what this is for would you?
I love your work, your an amazing artist! I have a sander a little different (model 315.22411). I love this sander, it was left behind from the previous house owner, I just can’t figure out how to change the sand paper. Can you advise me?
Thanks for the kind words and for checking out the video! As for changing the sandpaper, at each end of the sander bed, you’ll see a knurled bar with a flat head screwdriver slot. If looking at the sander from the side, with the sander upside down and with the front pointing left, stick flat head screwdriver in the slot and rotate it clockwise. That’ll lift the knurled bar away from the bed, lifting it enough to slide some paper in and keep turning it to pull the paper in. Hopefully I got the direction to rotate correct. If not, try the opposite direction. For the right hand side/rear you rotate the screwdriver the opposite way to lift the bar and pull the paper in. Hopefully that helps. Kinda weird to explain, but you should get the gist by trying to feed the paper in and rotating the knurled bar and pulling it away fro the paper bed.
Great work, applaud !!! Greetings from Russia!! If you can do subtitles so that you can use automatic translation! Your videos are very interesting !! Good luck with your projects, and interesting videos for us !!
I have this same sander that I purchased many years ago at a Sears store in CA.. Where can I find the replacement pad for this unit? It has the original thumb switch and not a toggle. Great job on the restoration.
Hi Jon! I am also an Elder... small world! As to the pad, I got mine off of eBay. It was labeled as one for craftsman sanders and the dimensions were just about right but it’s not a direct replacement so I had to trim it a bit. It ended up working great and the material it’s made of has proven durable. I wish mine had the original thumb switch but it was replaced at some point. From the condition mine was it, it looks like it was some really hard use. It sounds like yours is probably nicer and would make a great project!
Fair assessment Glen! I had planned on it but after pounding and hammering on them they were still silky smooth with no play on the inner race. I squirted a little 3-in-1 oil in them on the way back in and called it good. The bearings were all Hoover bearing which was pretty cool and I was more than happy to be able to keep that part of it original. Thank you so much for the feedback and for checking out my video!
@@RestoreThis I was thinking more about the water you'd used to wet sand possibly having got into em and washing all that grit into em.. I've a load of old power tools like this to sort out but I'm not going to polish them like that as I'd dare not use em afterwards...🇬🇧☺️
Yeah that’s a really good point! Hopefully I won’t have problems with that down the line. I agree too about the not wanting to use them afterwards. This one is sitting in my office now destined for a home in my display cabinet. I have another of the same sander but 20-30 years newer that I got when my father passed. That one will see the work and this one will be on display 😃
Thanks for watching! The sandpaper wedges up under the knurled barrel looking things at each end. They are attached to little spring steel brackets. If you stick a screwdriver into the slotted end of the barrel and turn it, it’ll lift the barrel. Then just slide the sandpaper edge up under. A little fiddley but that’s how you do it.
Great video. I have one of these that my wife inherited from her grandpa, and I'm trying to put it back together since it separated. The bracket to pull the gear and bearings - how did you make that?
Any recommendations for replacements for the 4 rubber plug/spacers? Restoring my grandfathers sander and the 4 rubber pieces have deteriorated and I can’t find replacements anywhere.
Not 100% sure. I’d try places like McMaster Carr, Grainger, jc whitney, Amazon, ereplacementparts, maybe even mouser or digikey. Might also want to check local hardware stores for something you might be able to make work. Best of luck finding a suitable replacement! Thank you for stopping by!
Hello Efrain, thank you for watching my video. I get the 303 Aerospace Protectant spray from amazon. In addition to using it on restorations, I also use it on my car tires and trim. It keeps the tires looking new without looking greasy or shiny. Just looks like new healthy rubber.
Hi Alex, I used this pad: ENKAY - 6" Extra Thick Spiral Sewn Buffing Wheel (80 Ply), and this buffing compound: Woodstock D2903 1-Pound Buffing Compound, White, both from Amazon. Of course, this was after a bunch of wet sanding with this set of sandpaper: Dura-Gold Premium 50 Sheet Assorted 3-2/3" x 9" Wet or Dry Sandpaper, Grits 150, 220, 320, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1500, 2000, 3000 (5 Ea), also from Amazon.
The pad has held up pretty well. Some fluff shedding, but not as bad as the harbor freight one I had before this one. The extra thickness seems to make the process go a little quicker too

Wonder what the hole on the side of the bottom plate is for. Looks like you can stick something in there and adjust the dual action somehow.
Great finish my friend
