I got 5 of these manual grinders that came in a box lot at an auction for $1. I intend to restore them and your video is helpful. Thanks for posting and thumbs up!
If you screw a nut onto a bolt before you cut it, the threads on the end will be straightened when you remove it after grinding the end smooth... just an idea.
I have a parts cleaner in my shop, and I always feel like the parts washer does absolutely nothing, even in all of the TH-camrs restoration videos as well. I feel like electrical cleaning, rust remover, sand blasting, or washing by hand just does such a great job, and so much better then any parts washer could ever do that I don't even use mine anymore.
@@mytinyworkshop1213 Washing in water is sometimes really not effective and pointless. Or you need to use tons of detergent and a sea of water. Sometimes it makes sense to wash in kerosene to remove copious grease and dirt adhering to it. Sometimes any wash is a complete waste of time. This is not a mandatory ritual. We must proceed from common sense.
Nice restoration and good video! There are a few major safety topics I'd like to pass along. 1. There is a difference between low and high speed grinding wheels. A hand crank grinding wheel falls outside the spec of what is suitable for an electric bench grinder and can cause wheel explosion. 2. Please get a cover for your electic bench grinder. I saw a guy in the shop get a chunk of wheel embedded in his face because the wheel exploded because the cover would have contained most of it. 3. Always ring test a grinding wheel to see if its cracked. If it does not ring, dont use it because of wheel explosion. For a ring test, hold the wheel with one finger through the mount hole and lightly tap it with a piece of metal. You should here a nice chime sound. 4. Do not clamp a grinding wheel in a vise and use impact on it. This can cause micro fractures or worse you may end up buying a new disk. 5. When dressing a wheel or grinding of any kind, use a tool rest. I have seen a guy loose his finger because the tool slipped and the machine gnawed his finger off. Thankfully the finger had bounced off the wall toward him so they sewed it on...he cant bend it though and when he makes a fist it looks like hes always trying to point! lol 6. Never overtighten a wheel when you mount it because the risk of cracking. Most grinders will be threaded against the rotation of the wheel so it doesnt unmount itself. I'm sure you know what you're doing but as always this is good safety advice. Like any advice, you can always do your own thing. Again, nice video otherwise!
@@mytinyworkshop1213 You are very welcome and I cant wait to see more future videos. Restoration vids have a calming effect for me especially when Ive had a rough week!
I noticed you used a power grinder to fix the hand crank grinder. Is that cheating? (Kidding) The finished item looks fantastic! I particularly like how you dressed up the stone! Thumb up!
lol. That grinder was hollering "No, no. I like my crusty self. Don't dismember me!" I was waiting on curse words to start flying! Cutest shopping cart ever or as we call it in the south a "buggy". How you renewed that stone was amazing. I'd never seen it done before, though people have explained it. Nice! How long did the dressing take? Love, love, love that color blue. Nicely done!
Nice work as always. However a polished washer the exact size of the end of the handle end would have been a nice touch. (not too late for that) By the way, grinders like this are for tools like shovels and such, where only a rough sharpening is needed, or say that chisel had nicks in the edge, then you could use it for that, but it's not for general fine sharpening on chisels and knives and such. You want to hone the edge, not grind it. I use a steel with super fine diamonds on one side to get a really nice edge to things like chisels that require an extremely sharp edge. If you grind every time you need it sharp, soon the tool will be worn down to a nub. You can also lay a piece of 5 to 8 thousand grit sandpaper on a flat surface, add some water and hone the edge that way. The idea is not to remove any more metal than absolutely required, but put it back into a fine edge. Yeah when I was young I took everything to the grinder, but soon learned knives and such would not last long if I did. they also make hand or foot powered wet stones. these are a bit better for honing they have a fine grit stone that rides in a water bath to keep things clean and cool. Still grind a bit much to suit me, but are better than these coarse stones.
I never use grinders to hone chisels. I picked a bad chisel to demonstrate on. I always use an eclipse 36 or Stanley 14-050 to hone my chisels and blades. Thanks for watching and sharing.
@@mytinyworkshop1213 I didn't figure you did, but there are lots that do. Hopefully I can help change that. While my comments are often addressed to you, they're more for the other readers.
Turned out beautiful. Love the colour. I’m so glad electric grinders were invented though. Bugger winding that thing all day. Thanks for bringing that to us. 🇦🇺👍
Awesome job you did restoring the hand grinder. It looks much better and works like a charm too. Great work.
really liked the way to clean the grindstone!
That stone came up excellent.

Never seen a restoration of a grinding stone! Great work!
Thank you. Glad you like it

Nice resto, the paint colour was a great choice 👍 nice to see another piece saved 😃
Thank you.
You know what you need? One of those fancy wrenches from Hand Tool Rescue!
good job
Thank you
Very Cool Restore. Thank you for sharing. I'm ready for more Neat Restoring. 🙂🙂❤
Thank you very much
Another nice restoration
Thank you
Awesome 👍👍👍Thanks for sharing
That's a first-class job! Bravo!
Thank you
Cool hand grinder blue color looks good.👍👍
Thanks

Great idea! I didn't know that!
@@theropesofrenovation Yep it works. Do it all the time
Thanks for the tip
That was great to watch. I enjoyed seeing the transformation of the tool. Well done 👏👍😊
Thank you. Glad you liked it.
Wow, great job.
Thank you
Good tips in this one 🛠️👍🏻 I like how the stone was saved.... I've got one of those dressing tools, too 👍🏻
Glad you liked it. It would have been terrible if I disposed of that stone. It alone is half of the items history.
Thanks for the new video.
Your most welcome. Thank you for watching.
Great restoration!
Thank you

Never heard of VHT paint. Now, Hammerite paint is great for cast iron. It gives a nice hammered effect. 👍👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

I understand you point. Sometimes it does seem useless. It’s perfect for me since I don’t have running water in the workshop.

Lol yo that mini grocery cart works.
What a nice Christmas surprise! Great restoration. Greetings from Southport. PS - I'd be interested to know which video editing software you use...?
Thank you. I use lumafusion on iPad to edit my videos.

Thank you, glad you like it. Dressing the stone took about 10 minutes. Lots of dust. I just had to add my little shopping cart.
Perfeito....Parabéns...
Bom trabalho. 👏🏻👍🏻

I liked for the methylated spirit and couldn’t find it. Is it the same thing as mineral spirits?
It’s denatured alcohol.

you could attach a piece of wood to a drill or lathe and grind it faster and better.

Nice Job, now you can grind like hell whit the Very High Temperature paint. Love your video's.
Absolutely. Glad you like it

Thanks Brian happy new year.

Did you change your native clamp bolt to Chinese? The clamp washer is also Chinese. There is not metal, but plasticine. Bad idea dude.
I do not understand what your trying to say. Chinese bolt and plasticine?
We have such a metaphor - Chinese metal for cheap products. We call such metal plasticine.
Thanks for teaching me something new.
It's good but can do better ...
The demonstration of sharpening the wood chisel is bad ...
