I remember onetime fixing a relatives malfunctioning door knob / lockset. They asked, "Where you learn how to do that?". Told 'em, "I've never done it before." They asked, "How'd you know what to do?" I said, "I figured it out." They looked at me suspiciously, like maybe I was pulling their leg. Mechanical competence isn't just underrated, it's largely incomprehensible by the general populace. I wish I had an Uncle Bob.
You are so right, I always find it amazing how different minds work... I have always been amazed at how some people can pick up a language or musical instrument with ease, other people can draw or paint like a pro with little instruction. I think everyone has a something that comes natural to them.... For me it's eating!
@ 17:00 I would suggest leaving that in the lathe, glueing it then re-crowning the drive pulley. I like to see you using the "old school" calipers! That works just fine if you have the feel for that. Great job!
I used your first video screw puller unit on, of all things, a 1920s fishing reel that had the line holder stuck to the center arbor. I've had it for years, and despite my efforts, I could not figure out how to get it off without damaging it. Your method worked great. I have made similar pullers for motorcycles, but never thought of the small screws and plate as a puller for something as small as the reel. I've also never had a reel stuck like that before. Anyway, thanks for the great channel. Wayne out West (Not a TH-cam channel...I'm too busy being retired.)
I'm thinking someone without a lathe could knock out the bearings, remove the seals, clean out the grease and fill them with epoxy so they're locked up solid then reinstall them and use it that way.
Another boring video, You crack me up!! Excellent job Bud!! I love playing with Delrin, I paid $35 for 2ft x 2" round about 10 years ago, God only knows what it cost now eh!!☺
Hey there. Just wanted to say that I appreciate your videos and learn a lot by watching them. I tried some new techniques recently inspired by you. Thanks ScoutCrafter!
I love that stuff! Machines like butter, super strong and doesn't move with temp changes like other materials. Not cheap but if you get lathe drops like I do they are cheap!
A great two-part Series! Awesome John! I think you are really going to enjoy having that sander in the shop. Right on!👍 some great tools have come out of Kalamazoo 🙌✨
Absolutely loved these two episodes. This one in particular was very entertaining and educational. I really like the tutorials you’ve done on the lathe. They’ve always been a bit of a mystery for me. Thanks loads. 😀⚙️🛠
Great fabrication John. This should lead to many hours of relaxing enjoyment in the restoration hobby that is so near and dear to you and your many fans. Thank you for sharing.
Very intresting. It's always so nice to be able to make do what you have and not run to the shop. Especially when it turns out this great! Good start of the week. Let's hope there's more good to come:)
What a great DIY project explained completely and clearly and in detail. You would have been a great teacher. Even though my 1 x 30 belt sander doesn't need a wheel, this video was very interesting. Your sander was a great bargain. Baldor motors are very good quality. Thanks.
Man that thing is an awesome tool and you did a great job getting it back in service! Also, now I gotta find one .. hopefully for about the same price :P
Not exciting to use? My first thought was, when boring, that causes all sorts of excitement. I don't have a carriage stop. You never know when you are going to run into a jaw with the top! Then, I figured out what you were saying. Great video as always! Thanks for always expanding our minds and sharing your experience and knowledge!
Great fix! I also found my kalamazoo for dirt cheap at a tractor show. My problem was i found my sander at the first stall i visited and i had to carry it around all day 🤣. Cheers
So much fun to watch. Love all the work arounds. Throughout the video I was imagining what I would do because I do not have a lathe. Great video, thanks.
In my opinion this was by far your best video to date. (That I've seen.) I love you see new stuff. And it was awesome hearing and seeing you figure out what to do with what you had. However on the not so good side of things. Now I want a lathe even more then I did. Lol so I've gotta figure out getting together the money to pick one up. Lol all jokes aside. Great video. One of the top ones I've seen like I mentioned. Thanks again
Man, that is a great find. I found a nice vintage 1/3hp Baldor bench grinder a few years back a flea market for $30. It just needed a new cord. It runs fantastic and I use it all the time! I would love to come across another!
Good fix. That is a "Baldor 111" grinder/buffer, it spins at 3600 rpm. Baldor is the maker they just put Kalamazoo tags on for Kalamazoo. American Made.
very cool reno. Given owning a lathe I would have made a bushing the mounted on the steel you had. I would made a platen for the the lower part so you can sand things flat.
Fun episode! Maybe sometime you can explain more about Delrin. Plastic of some sort? When and why would you use it? Other materials you might consider? I don't know much about fabrication. Would love to hear more!!! Thanks for sharing.
I like how you bought a cheap item and used ur brains and skills to fabricate what you needed....Others out there would just "make a new one." 🤣. Great job 👏👏👏
Hi Scoutcrafter that worked out great. a lot of times when things are missing parts replacing the parts can be expensive if you can make your own part the machine is still a bargain
Outstanding job! I’ve always been a fan of “built, not bought”. My father has the same sander! My only complaint with his is I almost wish the bottom pully had a small lip on the side edges to keep the belt from wandering off.

Congratulations!! That is more attendance than some Springsteen shows! You are a star with a wealth of knowledge.👍👏👏👏👏👏👏
What a great teacher you are!! You explain everything so we can understand the how’s and why’s. Thank You so much for sharing your knowledge with us.
Great Monday video. Nice job turning the new bushing. That belt grinder is now worth a heck of a lot more than the $10 you paid.
Its been a rough Monday and i was hoping for a longer episode. Thanks scout crafter!

Lathes are mixed blessings, Scout. It's not that you CAN fix anything with one, it's that you WILL fix everything with one.

Wayne- I never dreamed retirement would be so Sweet! 😃👍. Thanks

Good idea!
That takes A lot of Skill John ✅ awesome job bro 😎
Wow! That was pretty cool to watch. That drive wheel was running so smooth it looked like it was standing still. Great find!
You should be very happy and proud. What a find and what a job. Kudos.
Another boring video, You crack me up!! Excellent job Bud!! I love playing with Delrin, I paid $35 for 2ft x 2" round about 10 years ago, God only knows what it cost now eh!!☺
Hi Scout , Nice Job on That Pulley . I Always Enjoy Your Videos . Smart Shopping as Well.
Best $10 you ever spent John! Very nice machine work and a great working belt sander.👍Roger
Loved that project John!
Hey there. Just wanted to say that I appreciate your videos and learn a lot by watching them. I tried some new techniques recently inspired by you. Thanks ScoutCrafter!
Outstanding! Thanks so much
Great job on that sander, not surprised in the least you choose Delrin for the bushel. It has become your go to material.
I love that stuff! Machines like butter, super strong and doesn't move with temp changes like other materials. Not cheap but if you get lathe drops like I do they are cheap!
I really enjoy these 2 part episodes with a more complex project. Lots of fantastic tips. Thanks so much.
Very good job John, very good!!
Great project. Enjoyed your walk thru.
Great job. What a sweet belt sander.
More great work from The Master!

Great find and great fix!
Nicely done, gonna be a good addition to your power tools for restoring more old tools!
Great fabrication John. This should lead to many hours of relaxing enjoyment in the restoration hobby that is so near and dear to you and your many fans. Thank you for sharing.
Another excellent and informative video, thank you
I really enjoyed. learnt a lot. Thank you
Very enjoyable video and so informative 😃
That was great! Well done.
...good job, looks great, stay well and have a great week...
That came out great !
Great fix, what a nice belt sander 🛠️👍😊
Love the belt sander / grinder, nice! Lucky you.
One of my favorite projects of 2021 and what not: Stellar video or what huh?
Great video. I learned a lot today.
A very good informative post, and you saved some money. Cheers !
These are my favorite videos
This was genius! I was surprised that the wheel itself was pretty well balanced! Great job!!
Nice job. Put an elastic around the guard to quiet it down. Good Luck, Rick
Fun video! Nice lathe work. And an excellent repair on the awesome Kalamazoo belt sander. What a nice addition to your work shop!
What a fantastic job you are a really talented guy John well done buddy
Very intresting. It's always so nice to be able to make do what you have and not run to the shop. Especially when it turns out this great!
Good start of the week. Let's hope there's more good to come:)
Good job John.👍
Very nice 👌 job S.C.. Maybe a couple Very small magnets would keep that cover from rattling.. Don't throw those bearings away.. Nice video...
Absolutely awesome man! You should be very proud! You inspire me all the time. I’m still hunting for an old 10” craftsman/atlas lathe. I will get one!
What a great DIY project explained completely and clearly and in detail. You would have been a great teacher. Even though my 1 x 30 belt sander doesn't need a wheel, this video was very interesting. Your sander was a great bargain. Baldor motors are very good quality. Thanks.
Man that thing is an awesome tool and you did a great job getting it back in service! Also, now I gotta find one .. hopefully for about the same price :P
Really great job !!!!!!
Nice job on the belt sander. You have given me an idea to make an electric motor into a motorized wire brush.
This is great! These were 2 really great episodes. I learned a lot from them. Lathes are the cats pajamas lol 🐱👍
Not exciting to use? My first thought was, when boring, that causes all sorts of excitement. I don't have a carriage stop. You never know when you are going to run into a jaw with the top!
Then, I figured out what you were saying.
Great video as always! Thanks for always expanding our minds and sharing your experience and knowledge!
Hi Dan! I don't have a carriage stop either and that always adds to the pucker factor! =D
Great fix! I also found my kalamazoo for dirt cheap at a tractor show. My problem was i found my sander at the first stall i visited and i had to carry it around all day 🤣. Cheers
A very interesting video. Thank you for that.
Nice job Scoutcrafter 👍🇺🇸🇬🇧
So much fun to watch. Love all the work arounds. Throughout the video I was imagining what I would do because I do not have a lathe. Great video, thanks.
Tony- You do not have a lathe "YET"... =D It's coming! We both know it...
Great video!
You inspire me to work on my projects.
In my opinion this was by far your best video to date. (That I've seen.) I love you see new stuff. And it was awesome hearing and seeing you figure out what to do with what you had.

Well the lathe paid for itself on that project great job.
Man that was interesting. Very enjoyable.
Great video John! Nice that you got to use Delrin on that. I'll bet you'll get a lot of use of that sander. Also liked that "PSA" on speeding. ATB.
Hey nice to see ,mate ! Not seen you about on TH-cam for a while thanx for your video
I love your style,sir...That was abs. Scoutcrafter style work,,,
Man, that is a great find. I found a nice vintage 1/3hp Baldor bench grinder a few years back a flea market for $30. It just needed a new cord. It runs fantastic and I use it all the time! I would love to come across another!
Happy Thanksgiving my friend.
🦃🇨🇦✝️
Great job.
Nice job done, I like it and saving money :)
I was going to say try using a caster! Glad it worked out!
I need someone to get me a lathe for Christmas 😂 Great job!
Use tv magic like I do and borrows scouts. ...
Great job you will no doubt find that1 x 42 super handy
Good fix. That is a "Baldor 111" grinder/buffer, it spins at 3600 rpm. Baldor is the maker they just put Kalamazoo tags on for Kalamazoo. American Made.
It will be interesting to see how much better that sander it is compared to the cheap 1x30's we all have!
Friday!!!!!!!
A very cool project. Great bargain for $10 high quality machine and minimal expense to make it whole.
Exactly Perfect.
Very nice 👍🏻
great project, excellent editing...you should have been a machinist you have a thousands mind set, txs for sharing
Tom- What a great profession, if only I was good at math! =D
very cool reno. Given owning a lathe I would have made a bushing the mounted on the steel you had. I would made a platen for the the lower part so you can sand things flat.
Very nice.
That is a smooth running wheel you made and it saved a bunch of money al so you got to do a cool project🤓
That was fun!!!
That will be a great addition to your shop.
See you on Wednesday.
Have a Jesus filled day everyone
Greg in Michigan
Fun episode! Maybe sometime you can explain more about Delrin. Plastic of some sort? When and why would you use it? Other materials you might consider? I don't know much about fabrication. Would love to hear more!!! Thanks for sharing.
I loved the two episodes, I think I need to get a lathe in the future.
I still like my Impact Fit. Anything will work but the bigger and heavier works better! GBWYou!
I like how you bought a cheap item and used ur brains and skills to fabricate what you needed....Others out there would just "make a new one." 🤣.
Great job 👏👏👏
I really enjoyed these 2 episodes scout. Will you be making a guide or a plattern or it?
Hi Pete! I am going to address that on Friday, there are some interesting differences between my two belt sanders! Thanks!!! 😃👍
@@ScoutCrafter really looking forward to that scout.
@@bigpete4227 Me Too.
Great video John I so want to buy a lathe like yours
Hi Scoutcrafter that worked out great. a lot of times when things are missing parts replacing the parts can be expensive if you can make your own part the machine is still a bargain
good job
Outstanding job! I’ve always been a fan of “built, not bought”. My father has the same sander! My only complaint with his is I almost wish the bottom pully had a small lip on the side edges to keep the belt from wandering off.
Right Like A V Belt .
Hester, some times a little crown added to the pulley stops belt drift... Thanks!
