As they should. He uses it in every video and this one he has 5 cans beside him while he works. He probably single handedly keeps their business alive. Lmao.
Congratulations on what is pretty much the dream sponsor, just need Stanley and some producer of linseed oil on board then you'll have the holy triumvirate! That's a grand looking tool as well, seems to chew through the wood no bother and would I be right in thinking you can angle it on those radiused metal brackets as well, or are they just there for rigidity? 🤔
My grandpa was a carpenter of 9 generations, I didn't think about how I watched him my whole life and how many things I picked up from watching, your videos are starting to awaken something in me. I guess im going to end up like mum buying too many anitque tools from Op shops and garage sales to restore haha. I gotta go raid his tool shed.
You truly are an inspiration to me . Ive recently taken an interest in wood working and I've been making toys for my son. Got a small toy mallet for him and I've got another in production for my best friends son as well . Thank you for showcasing this amazing trade especially the hand tools.
Eoin, have you ever tried boiling rusty metal parts in water? I know it sounds like it would rust more, but it actually turns the red rust into the black oxide, magnetite. It's the same process that is used to blue guns. Then you coat the part in oil, and you have beautiful "blue" metal parts that are also more protected against further rusting. It cleans parts up beautifully with much less elbow grease
When I was young i used one I can't remember what we working on , i love hand tools but it's slot easier with power, i love to cut wood with a good sharp handsaw
Soak your rusty parts in white distilled vinegar for a few days and it will be rust free. After removing, rinse the parts with baking soda and distilled water to kill the acidity and prevent from flash rusting. Soak with WD-40 afterwards.
So the beam drill doesn't drive the bit into the wood, but relies on the screw action of the bit, just as a brace and auger bit? Is the size of the bit dependent on the specific beam drill - can you swap out your 1 1/2" bit with a 2" bit on the same drill? You did a nice restoration job - it certainly looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Hello Eoin...Just started following you today as this link caught the attention of one of my own students...Overall, a good job, but one must be careful in "restoration" to not remove the original patina from a vintage artifact like this timber frame boring machine. Rust that inhibits function and/or performance can certainly be removed but not too aggressively...On your mortise, you could have finished off with a third hole down the center (which is standard) and your end cuts should be chisel scored first before the side and before boring as well. There is more too, but you will learn those "tracks" and methods from the tool more than a teacher can ever instruct you in...Glad to have found the channel and look forward to seeing how you developed...
i know your focus is on using mechanical tools but i worry that you’ll wear yourself down at an early age. pls take care of yourself for us! also an explanation video on why i’m probably wrong wouldn’t hurt
Hey Eoin where do you buy your antique tool for restoration as a fellow Irishman I can't seem to find any shops that have them so any ideas would be much appreciated
Lol. WD-40!!! Hey Eoin, you might consider looking up a guy on youtube named Rex Kruger. He also does a lot of hand tool stuff. If you did a collaboration together it might grow your channel considerably.
I love the video, the content is great, videography is perfect, but adding just a little bird song or Irish fiddle in the sped up break down section would improve the early part of the video. Keep doing great work!
You seriously need to up your presentation, take a look at others who restore and who have big numbers of subscribers to get a sense of how they "present" their efforts. You have many good points going for you, but you lack a focus on a primary need to tell a story plus educate the viewers while you express your craftsman skills. Imitate then innovate, carving out those who love what you do, what you find to restore, and the finished project. Good luck mate! (USA-designer)
Sorry...I'm afraid I can agree with your assessment...and to validate I'm both a traditional crafts person and a teacher of those and related skills. Some of the best "TH-camrs" out there don't even talk...they just work...like Mr. Chickadee of whom I'm friends and have mentored for almost a decade... Clearly, Eion is young and new to much of this so is presenting from that perspective and a bit "unrefined" while he both learns his trade and develops a "behind the camera" personality...With that, over time, he will improve I'm sure... The worst thing he could do is "educate" and/or "look at others" without actually knowing what to look for. TH-cam is full of "clickbait" channels with high numbers but hideous content and advice to the viewers...
Wahey! It worked lads! WD40 finally sponsored Eoin. Today is a good day
I love it.
That’s actually quality he fully deserves it 🎉
If they really did sponsor him that's hilarious, I'm sensing some sarcasm though
As they should. He uses it in every video and this one he has 5 cans beside him while he works. He probably single handedly keeps their business alive. Lmao.
Hope they also sent parfume WD40 :D

cheers lad, yes you can angle the brackets but i find it doest cut as well and hardly at all past 45 degrees

It's commendable that you take the time and effort to bring old tools back to life.

You are the definition of "good honest work"
I do so enjoy your videos! From your choice of tools to your calming voice!!
would have loved to see a close up of the drill digging into the wood. what a cool tool
Well done! Love the videos! Thanks
When I was young i used one I can't remember what we working on , i love hand tools but it's slot easier with power, i love to cut wood with a good sharp handsaw
I'll definitely be buying some WD 40 just cause they sponsored this awesome creator!
Really liking the longer form videos
your voice is so carming and its so lovely to watch some of your vids after a stressful day so thank you for the amazing content
Very cool video. Congrats on your sponsorship! Great partner to have. Keep up the awesome work.
Awesome that you got a sponsorship with them, good relations

Nice work great video again from you
Never thought i would be sitting here watching a carpenter but here i am

Man I love Irish accents
Glad to hear you got that WD40 sponsorship! Might have to go pick up an extra can…
Eoin finally got sponsored by WD40! Good times were in.

Nice tool
Did you actually get the WD40 sponsorship or just having a lark?
i know your focus is on using mechanical tools but i worry that you’ll wear yourself down at an early age. pls take care of yourself for us! also an explanation video on why i’m probably wrong wouldn’t hurt
Chuffed you’ve got the WD40 Sponsor my mate
Chuffed you’ve got the WD40 Sponsor my my mate
One of my favorite words is "swarf" what is the shavings that a drill makes.
I get that it’s sponsored, but comrade put every wd-40 can in the neighborhood on his table 😂
bro really got the wd40 sponsor
What a shame you haven't built your own sandblasting machine. Far better for removing layers of rust. (plenty have built their own on TH-cam...)
Great stuff my guy! Hey, what are those hats called? I need one. 🍻
Thank Christ- finally got that sweet sweet wd40 sponsorship
Ah now Eoin ya didn't even try to hide the cordless, that's cheating 😂
Hey Eoin where do you buy your antique tool for restoration as a fellow Irishman I can't seem to find any shops that have them so any ideas would be much appreciated
1:47 did you ever respond to that snap
I am baffled that someone like this still keeps their streaks
Unsanctioned contest: How many cans of WD-40 did YOU see? I counted 7.
Lol. WD-40!!! Hey Eoin, you might consider looking up a guy on youtube named Rex Kruger. He also does a lot of hand tool stuff. If you did a collaboration together it might grow your channel considerably.

Keep doing great work!
Hey brother, how do you pronounce your name? Also you're a badass. The genuine article..
Wait... WD40 does sponsorships? What the hell??
Interesting. Perhaps you might have considered sharpening the bit some. It seemed pretty dull in its cutting to me.
Say it again..WD40...🤤
What do we need to get a hair reveal?
omg ilu

Nah, there was literally nothing wrong with the presentation of this video.

Your excuess for using a power drill can be applied to everything else. Its quicker and easier.
Wait, genuine WD40 sponsor? If so that is so cool! Only other sponsor needed is duct tape and you can be the worlds greatest handyman
