Inheritance machinery did his grandfathers that he was left and it’s beautiful. Highly recommend his page if ur into metal milling/fabrication or can just appreciate watching people who are incredible at their craft.
For me it was the ASMR quality "sighs of frustration" as he was trying to take off ancient stuck parts. I know that feel, bro. Had my stomach clenched rooting for you to move those bolts. Action more exciting than anything hwood has done in years! 🎉
That hard transition from late 80s/early 90s sitcom theme music to dead silence is surreal and fills me with existential dread. I absolutely love it, never stop
That's the first time I've seen someone lap valves outside of an automotive engine. It probably helped! That's a very cool sprinkler, never seen one like it before.
I lapped a lot of steam valves when I was in the US Navy, though these days it seems like it's almost a lost art. Half the time now they'd rather just chop and swap a whole valve than just repair the seat.
Eric, if you put the reverser tumbler into n the middle position on your lathe it will be way quieter when you not using power feed. Your gears will thank you.
I ordered and received one of your medium size adjustable wrenches. It's a tank, reminds me of my grandfather's tools. Extremely robust and meant to last an eternity. I'm ordering another one for my apprentice
I have the wrench and large screw drive. I told my kid I would cut him out of the Will if he messed with them. The big screw driver is incredible, it’s my last resort screw driver and it has never failed me. Good tools are expensive and these are no exception but well worth it. I was able to get the adjusters out of the rear brakes on my MG with the wrench. It’s kind of accepted that those don’t come out and will take lots of work
I was laughing like a maniac at the ASMR microphone whispering, having a hard time hearing because of my loud laughter... This guy never loses his touch lol
Man, of all the different restoration channels I've seen, I love yours the most. All the funny little quirky things you add in makes me deeply chuckle, and makes it that much better to watch. Please, keep up the awesome work and I hope to see many more restorations in the future!
I have insomnia and struggle to sleep. Watching this video was so soothing I was snoring before the end. This is NOT a criticism. I find it fascinating and my mind relaxes and then I can sleep. Thanks!
I don't have insomnia, but I get the same effect. Especially from the two-stroke washing machine series.... I don't think I've ever seen those videos all the way through.
Watching that sprinkler in action you have to admire the engineering that went into it. The two-way hydraulic cylinder powered by the water, the valve triggered by the piston to switch directions. Impressive.
Watching this channel has revealed to me how much I enjoy the sound of fasteners being removed. I didn't know this about myself until today. Thank you.
Thank you for adding sound effects when you were removing the wheels and turning the whole thing around. Very similar to the sound effect I would have given it
Darn. With it being called an Artillery Sprinkler, I was hoping it would shoot water over a vast distance, rapid fire style. Great restoration - and I do like the final demo. It's a pretty cool sprinkler!
I don't remember the last time I saw a square nut. I know I've never seen a guy grab a bare razor blade with both hands and cut off a spoiled gasket. It's been a long time since I watched one of your videos. I'm so happy I found you again.
I have about 900 square nuts in a drawer in my basement. They belonged to my grandfather then my dad now me. Turns out, 900 assorted square nuts is 3 lifetimes worth of nuts
Just what I needed today - a demonstration of the combination of problem analysis, inguinity, perseverance, and good ol' fashion brute strength to solve the task at hand. Thanks so much for the inspiration!
I think it's really cool when you find an old repair on the objects you're restoring. It speaks to how much more common it was to repair things in the past and connects you to a fellow repairer who's long gone.
As always your work is very well done, you always make sure to fix every part that has any issues. The lapping of the valves will help it tuned like it was new. Great restoration video, thank you for taking the time to video it so we could see it...
26:30 This is the Central Scrutinizer. HAHA. I remember the smell of plastic being turned. It was 25 years ago or so, I was turning some pieces as spare parts for microphone stands. Oh, all those years. And I remember it just as I watch and listen. THANK YOU! :-) Made my day. Also: I need to listen to Joe's Garage again. Will do after I watch your video. Best wishes to you, Erik.
Another work of art,if it wasn’t for people like you,I’d never know equipment like this existed,yep,I’ve watched them all and it truly amazes me that someone could be nearly 100yrs ago made such devices and there was a market for such devices,thanks for bringing them back to life and showing the TH-cam world what’s out there Love and peace from Ireland
The intro will always make me smile. That is probably the coolest sprinkler I've ever seen. When things were made to last and damn near everything was repairable!
Who left the freezer door open? The ricochet gag was awesome. That took a lot of time to set up cameras at the right angles and then throw the part multiple times to get the perfect bounce. Thank so much. I had to put on my hearing aids and turn the volume up for the quiet part. The viewer can't do anything else while one of your videos is on, or they will miss something. Thanks for another great video and the laughs.
After watching a bunch of videos by Clarke at Windy Hill Foundry, I have a new appreciation of how much work went into the mold making and casting for all those complex shapes, which is in addition to the sophisticated engineering design work.
Such an intricate design and many parts. They all play a part for a great oscillating sprinkler. I remember fabric washers and a part of the tube reminded me of taking apart a bicycle pump in order to oil the ring inside and make it work again. And I think I saw Mars looking through the slanted tube. I liked the sounds you made while working. Your theories were interesting if not funny. 😂 Thanks for letting us enjoy your repair without all the painstaking work involved.
OK... You creeped me out by resurecting Frank Zappa 's voicing The Central Scrutinizer from the album Joe's Garage...remember, the WHITE ZONE is for LOADING and Unloading. If you have to load or unload, Go to the WHITE ZONE.... RIP Frank Zappa....
The red zone is for loading and unloading passengers only... no stopping in the white zone. No... the white zones if for loading and unloading passengers only... Don't start me with the white zone Betty... (Airplane)
@@yowser8780 I remember that one too... having been to a Zappa concert when Joe's Garage came out.... never laughed so hard in my life... He was also one of my top ten guitarist's ... Man was pure genius. Frank died way too early...
....mmm Perhaps you can hook it up to a Fire Hose and water the entire city with it ! Now that is a beautiful work of art ! I am glad that you polished it instead of painting it
I was working on an old sprinkler several years ago, and after I got it back together I spent several days trying to fix leaks in some of the fittings and such... before I realized "It's supposed to leak... that's its whole job" 😀
This was a seriously cool piece of kit. To think that someone actually engineered this sprinkler, and it works really well! most of this thing is making use of standard pipe fittings, only a few pieces are actually made specifically for this sprinkler. Even the wheels are just simple metal shop wheels that could be found out of a parts catalog for any one of hundreds of reasons. Quite Ingenius really, the cost of making these would have been very little compared to other designs bulk prices could have been gotten for most of the stuff. I love it, the dual piston design really makes this unit such a cool find, even in the 1930s this would have been relatively cheap to make and turn quite a profit. all the same, I bet these things weren't cheap to buy though. An awful lot of brass for a sprinkler.
Really nice restoration - it looks awesome and it looks like it would easily intimidate other more modern water sprinklers who are not nearly as much of a unit as this water sprinkler is! 👍
Your tools i love that you can see the marks from when it was made and the choice of using the good old tried and true designs i love your channel and humor
I listen to these before bed to wind down at very low level, and I didn't realize until very late in the video there was ASMR commentary, and now I might need to watch the entire thing again lol
One of my most used tools is a bench grinder with a wire wheel. A wire wheel on a drill press is better than nothing, but on a bench grinder it is a game changer.
DUDE DUDE Once the water was on it all made sence how it worked could not figure out how it fanned the water out until I saw it in action. Great job my freind.😁🤗😎
Unlike a lot of copy-cat channels that do this sort of thing, I think you take pride in making it just how it was when new (if not better with some retrofit upgrades) I always look foreword to your uploads.

That's the most ludicrously overcomplicated sprinkler ever. I love it.
OMG! I was thinking the same thing!
I was born in the overly-complicated, molded by it.
That’s what i love about old machines, its either ingeniously simple or hilariously convoluted.
I didn't see a simply constructed product until I was already a man
The crazy thing is they were probably like $8
I feel like this video is proof this man will restore anything other then his lathe
*lathe screaming noises intensifies*
Это точно)

@@jrthetravelingsalesman6357 yea I follow his channel as well I just watched him snap his heat treated bolt the other day and was sad for him
I would actually love to see that.
This has been my favorite video yet. The voice over, the three hands, the more you know shirt, the simple gags, the one liners. It has everything.
Yes!!
Thank you!
the only thing missing would have been if he added an X-Files jump-scare during the quiet whispering part
I loved seeing that third hand pitching in to help out!
For me it was the ASMR quality "sighs of frustration" as he was trying to take off ancient stuck parts. I know that feel, bro. Had my stomach clenched rooting for you to move those bolts. Action more exciting than anything hwood has done in years! 🎉
"Because I'm....not a good machinist....Just a guy with a lathe..." I felt that in my heart.
That hard transition from late 80s/early 90s sitcom theme music to dead silence is surreal and fills me with existential dread. I absolutely love it, never stop
LMFAO! Yes absolutely true and something one would only understand by living through these time's. !!!😂❤😂❤😂!!!
Funniest restoration channel in existence.
I loved the Rube Goldberg ricochet sequence.

You've never lapped sprinkler valves before?!?!?!
@@nortyfiner can confirm, 11-17, we just replaced anything that was not working. No attempts to try and dig into it and fix
@@HandToolRescue No, because I have the good sense to only run leaded water.

Anand done. Another out to Kadarius. Hard working guy that asks a lot of good questions. Well deserved!

If you need something your great great grandkids will be able to use this is the perfect place to get it.
I was laughing like a maniac at the ASMR microphone whispering, having a hard time hearing because of my loud laughter...
This guy never loses his touch lol
I still don't know what he said.
hmmm Jimmy Diresta is that you? hahahha
I'm crying laughing. I made it until "because I'm.... not a good machinist."
I'm dying

It's the little "ho oh" when something breaks loose that gets me.
That was gold. Truly a masterclass in ASMR goodness and dry humor.
Darn. With it being called an Artillery Sprinkler, I was hoping it would shoot water over a vast distance, rapid fire style. Great restoration - and I do like the final demo. It's a pretty cool sprinkler!
it's complicated like real artillery )
@@coyoteranger 😎
I'm glad I wasn't the only one. I had in mind some recoil-operated traveling mechanism or something. Still cool for its complications.
Looks like it could originally have been made with spent howitzer shells...
@@floridag8rfan You guys know it's a sprinkler to cool artillery, right?
Without a doubt, the coolest and the weirdest sprinkler ever.
I don't remember the last time I saw a square nut. I know I've never seen a guy grab a bare razor blade with both hands and cut off a spoiled gasket.
It's been a long time since I watched one of your videos. I'm so happy I found you again.
I have about 900 square nuts in a drawer in my basement. They belonged to my grandfather then my dad now me. Turns out, 900 assorted square nuts is 3 lifetimes worth of nuts
@arcadiagreen150 well it’s at *least* 3 lifetimes, unless you have a plan for your 900 assorted square nuts.
The naration, sense of humor, craftsmanship. Just wow. You are one of a kind. Thank you.
Watching the intro always makes me Happy🤗
Reminds me of Schneider from One Day at a Time.
That music sounds like it could have come from a 70's sitcom I'd probably hate.
Reminds me of the intro of Alf for some reason.
I collect old sprinklers but I have never seen one quite like this.........perfect restoration!
I love all of the weird old gizmos you find. Each one makes my day a little better. Thanks!
The guy who created this was a genius with to much time on his hands. Great restoration!
"It kinda smelled delicious.. and I don't know why..." 😂😂
Such elegance in your description
I was wheezing at that point
What he really said was "It kinda smelled delicious, I’m not going to lie. I might eat it later." This dude is funny and darned talented.
Mind blown. Could not understand how this thing worked until it was finished. First rate!
Just what I needed today - a demonstration of the combination of problem analysis, inguinity, perseverance, and good ol' fashion brute strength to solve the task at hand. Thanks so much for the inspiration!

Never thought I would think a sprinkler looks badass...
Absolutely beautiful restoration of a true steampunk water sprinkler !
I always love the little comedy skits he does, elevates these videos above the rest
I love everything about this.. the lathe monologue was the cherry on top.
Beautiful piece of engineering.
The mind that created this sprinkler is truly warped in a good way. once again a mesmerizing restoration.
I never knew I desperately wanted whispered voice-overs about inadequately performing machinist work..............UNTIL NOW!!!
Seek help. Of all the videos of people whispering out there, this whispering was some of the worst
The quiet overcoming of frustration. The exceptional existential ASMR voiceover. This is what I love about your channel.
Thoroughly enjoyed... and that voiceover... :::pinching fingers in the air::: perfection..
Such a great restore. Thank you.
The intro will always make me smile. That is probably the coolest sprinkler I've ever seen. When things were made to last and damn near everything was repairable!
You make me smile and laugh. Great job. I really look forward to your videos.
Your shirt says "In much wisdom is much sorrow"
Where you added aluminum into that missing space was awesome!!!
Очень импонирует Ваш подход и качество отреставрированных/ восстановленных Вами старинных предметов и механизмов.

I swear half your time producing this channel is finding the crazy shit to restore. Always has been and always will be my favorite restorer.
You are so stinking smart, you've even somehow managed to fabricate another arm !! Color me impressed!! 😊
You’re actually damn good at asmr. If you ever get tired of rebuilding you definitely have a second career
I never thought I'd see ASMR machining.
Such a complex solution
It truly is mesmerising. Fantastic.
Another awesome restoration.
👍
Watch as it rains on dem hose. Wow. *chef kiss*
I'm amazed at the workmanship that went into a garden sprayer 😊
It's incredibly strange to see a device with NO PLASTIC... what a wonderful time to be alive.
Well, at the start...
Isn't delrin plastic?
Because of the age of the equipment :)
That is one of the most beautiful combinations of physics and mechanical engineering I've ever seen.
19:36 I feel this. Had a spring retaining cap fly out and hit my TV, twice. The wife wasn't happy.
I'm not allowed to own nice stuff like that, because other people think it's theirs. Great video as always.
19:00 That's a nice shirt but a long sentence for saying "ignorance is a bliss" XD

That whole ASMR section Eric... it made my day.
Thanks for sharing as always!
NOBODY TALK TO ME FOR 35 MINUTES, NEW HAND TOOL RESCUE
Go away! Batin!
Well, I hate to break it to you, but HTR broke your request himself lol
Nice restoration on that vintage lawn sprinkler! I also still love Your 80's sitcom themed intro!
....mmm Perhaps you can hook it up to a Fire Hose and water the entire city with it ! Now that is a beautiful work of art ! I am glad that you polished it instead of painting it
This restoration resonated with my soul… I feel enlightened as I reach a new plateau of shiny brass feelings
I was working on an old sprinkler several years ago, and after I got it back together I spent several days trying to fix leaks in some of the fittings and such... before I realized "It's supposed to leak... that's its whole job" 😀
"...unbeknownst to me...but...what I do knownst..." made me spit out my food. Funniest thing I have heard in a while.
At the start I thought Sprinkler was code for Bullets 😂
You have a very good sense of humor, my friend. You and Bobby Fingers should collaborate.
1940's splatoon was wildin'
I love how the patent date is on the tool. makes it easy to reference for exact patent.
This was a seriously cool piece of kit. To think that someone actually engineered this sprinkler, and it works really well! most of this thing is making use of standard pipe fittings, only a few pieces are actually made specifically for this sprinkler. Even the wheels are just simple metal shop wheels that could be found out of a parts catalog for any one of hundreds of reasons.

Wow and the before and After That restoration came out Amazing @Hand Tool Rescue
Such an elegant machine, I don't think I can ever look at my el-cheapo sprinkler again without feeling some sadness.
impeccable artistry, I feel like I need to pay entry at a museum to see your videos.
Thank-you Hand Tool Rescue! I love that you bring us along on these journeys of resurrection.
If we could get a place that is Skilled in brass and or copper work to recreate this I would Definitely buy one in a Heartbeat!!! 🤠👍
Your tools i love that you can see the marks from when it was made and the choice of using the good old tried and true designs i love your channel and humor
Another very unique tool rescue! Love the t-shirt btw. 😅 Keep finding them and fixing them! Thank you!
The whisper monologue absolutely killed me. Great video!
I was waiting for the face plant onto the blasting cabinet and you did not disappoint!
Bro your content is platinum level ... I do really appreciate those quirky little voiceovers LOL
I listen to these before bed to wind down at very low level, and I didn't realize until very late in the video there was ASMR commentary, and now I might need to watch the entire thing again lol
Excellent restoration as usual, you never disappoint, the best in the business. Glad to see you back.
Splendid what an over engineered implement how lucky you are to have found it!
One of my most used tools is a bench grinder with a wire wheel. A wire wheel on a drill press is better than nothing, but on a bench grinder it is a game changer.
DUDE DUDE Once the water was on it all made sence how it worked could not figure out how it fanned the water out until I saw it in action. Great job my freind.😁🤗😎
I knew more Hand Tools could be Rescued if you just had another hand. Brilliant as always.
That’s probably the coolest sprinkler.I’ve ever seen!
The whole Ken Nordine schtick was a riot. Good job!
This channel is a blessing. Especially in an election year. This and Primitive Technology have kept me sane.
Unlike a lot of copy-cat channels that do this sort of thing, I think you take pride in making it just how it was when new (if not better with some retrofit upgrades) I always look foreword to your uploads.
Hand Tool ASMR is the one thing i never knew that i needed in my life
