I can't believe that you found a mag drill in any condition in a scrapyard. One of those is an absolute necessity in any welding business. But then a milling machine is something incredible to have in any business as well...Greta build my friend.
I was finding your philosophical ramblings very relaxing! I'm sad you stopped! I think for any of us who do these things, the why is fairly self evident. There is something wonderful immediate, and sincere in taking what was thrown away, and making things better with it. I'm not by any means a religious person, but something that stuck with me for years is the Idea in the Bhagavad Gita, that one of the paths to inner peace is that of action - art, craft, devotion to ones skill. Tey call It a form of prayer. I've always found that neat. When I'm deep into a project and working in a state riding the lip of conciousness, totally absorbed in the process, I think I'm at my happiest. I think one of my next projects will be a gear cutting tool for watch sized gears!
Very resourceful! I so much appreciate builders who work on second hand tools or anyone who recycle/upcycle stuff. Resourcefulness aside, it is very helpful on the environment.
Hearing the dialog in the beginning i cannot help but to relate on a very personal level, while I am by no means poor or even close to being without all of the creature comforts afforded most Americans, the "need" of purchasing new machining tools and equipment has never took precedent over the needs of my children and wife so I have had to be creative and resourceful when it comes to my hobbies. The things i build and repair/rebuild are labors of love borne out of a true desire to force unused or broken items into useful and innovative tools and accessories. I have built countless tools that i have used only once or twice, its way more about the planning and the journey than it is about the destination.
"Frankenmill!" I love it! I made a spot welder out of a microwave transformer and called it "Der Frankenwelder". I am working on a CNC router and that will be my "Frankenrouter,".
I will call you brother. I also make due with my scraps. Old tools and equipment are easier to get and practical if a poor man wants many types of tools or equipment. Self reliance is an art form. You are an artist. Thanks for the content.
I saw several sent out to a tool repair shop from a fabrication shop I worked at. They were declared unrepairable but I was not able to get any of them to take home.
Brother I to am a Doctor. My advice for working on old stuff from the scrapyard is, buy a torch and some candle wax. Heat your part up and apply the wax. Parts become so much looser and easier to work on.

Where there's a will there's a way.
We all appreciate your hard work.

almost everyone has one of 2 things , money or time.. Few people have both so learning which to use is liberating.
Some people focus & complain about what they don’t have. REAL men & women are too busy MAKING SH-T HAPPEN! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I have never seen a scrap mag drill ever. I have been looking. I like your voice though . It is very calming...

Awesome job! I can tell you pay attention to detail as you work. You are a talented person for sure.
Thank you for the video! :) :)
awesome determination
It is interesting how were made first machine tools when there were no machine tools? I've been always asking myself this question
5:27 gambiarra!! hahaha!!
It's Amazing ! That ! You ! Still ! Have ! Your ! Fingers ! Left ! From that ! GRINDER !! ( Not to mention that ! Unbolted ! Vice ! )
Do u share plan to construct it?
It probably took a long time. But the effects are already visible 😉
u have cheap sand blasting guns now in any tool shop.
I’ve only seen those round rags peddled in Manila streets, so I bet this guy is a Filipino.
Mighty white of you ...red hat too
Wish I could find a treasure like that at the junkyard near my city to resurrect and bring them second chance, to be my partner
HAHA!
There out there just got a atlas cutoff saw and drill press free no one wants work with hands
