Scott, I was caught off guard when I heard you mention me. Thanks so much for the shout-out👍
Thank you Clark for providing such helpful content for me to learn from!
When Ken is there keeping an eye on things, you know it’s getting done right. Great man.
I discovered this channel quite by mistake, but I am so glad I did. It is a much-needed breath of fresh air in a world full of turmoil, cold efficiency, and depressing news hurled at us constantly via news and social media. Watching true, old world craftsmanship has reminded me to slow down, and given me a calmness I have not felt in a long time. Thank you.
The easiest shortcut to tell what kind of man you are is how hard you emphasize sharing the full names of the people you are talking about and giving credit to. I hope a decent few of those people have gotten to see the man they helped build.
Its a magical day when you can find someone to take care of a project you are curating.
Every day is for learning.
If not, what's the point?!
I started off as a wood turner and fine furniture builder.
I now do anything from classic vehicle restoration to off grid solar power system design and building.
Never rest on your laurels.
Always push forward.
That's 3 guys with a lot of knowledge.
I ran across Windy Hill and Keith Rucker because I have been watching the Tally Ho project for years, and the capstan project has been extremely interesting. But I subscribed to both channels because like you, they do interesting stuff. Thanks, and I don't need to remind you to keep up the good work, because you demonstrate it in every video!
I love restorations of items that people appreciate and bring back to life. Unfortunately TH-cam is now filled with fake restorations. It is such a treat to see a real proper one happen.
I have restored post drills, but a 400 pounder. Woah. I've never seen such a beast. I found post drill restoration to be 3 times more time consuming than say a forge blower. I will follow closely.
I just refinished/upgraded a 1948 Remington 514!! I’m only 35 but I love doing precisely THIS!!! Just keep track of all the parts Lol 😂👍 FYI-yes I know the rifle isn’t “valuable”, I don’t care haha 😂
it is valuable now, because YOU fixed it. keep up the good work!!
Thank Scott and friends. I love the old tools, and appreciate your work to restore them. I restored a Barnes No. 2 Velocipede, a bicycle powered scrolling saw from around 1890, 18 years ago, and it still sees a bit of work from time to time. It's such a pleasure to use... it's variable speed, but it does seem to go faster in the morning :)
It is amazing to see that various methods that Dave is using to revive this old post drill, which has made it's rounds among friends.
At my college I just finished working on a 1956 (I think) metal lathe, and I am hoping to turn my bolt on it (its a project in the welding program i'm in). I know that these lathes (there are a pair of them) have been at the college for over 40 years, but no one has turned on them for many years. I have always liked older machinery, and fixing it gave me the most satiating feeling I've ever had. Anyways, all that to say, these kinds of things and these kinds of people I always enjoy. As a fellow Southern Oregonian Thank you for the content.
Thanks. I had one of those that appears to be just like that one. Yours is in better condition and a few more accessories. One thing that you probably already know is that you can assemble the gears in the middle in such a way so you can have the best mechanical advantage for operating it with a hand crank, or flip the two over and set it up to run under power. The one I had was used in a railroad shop.
"We get the satisfaction of seeing it emerge. We get the satisfaction of seeing work done that we would have never taken time to do. And we didn't have to do the work." - My reason for watching most of the TH-cam videos I watch
It’s great to see but I can notice some regained mobility in Ken since the first video I saw him in.
If you are looking for another you tube collaboration, perhaps Abom79 can rebuild that shaft by flame spraying it and cutting back to spec, including the beaten up threads.
I don't know what work release program you guys are in, but it looks kinda fun.
It kinda looks like they were all in for the same reason! Lol
Your never to old to learn.
Good episode
Scott I greatly enjoy your channel. I've been watching for you and Nate for years. This episode hit me that when you narrate, and especially when you get philosophical, you sound like Paul Harvey!
Radio Shack... there is a store I haven't heard of in a while. xD
Great job guys. Thank you 😊
That was really good, I'm looking forward to the next installment. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the video.
Love this video and I'm looking forward to more in the series. 🙂
Thank you guys for all the awesome content and the amazing videos!!
Nice.😎
Inspiration for me to restore my Champion blacksmiths post drill.👍👍
Thank You. LOOKING forward to rest of the videos. KUTGW
I see inserted tooth edger saws on the wall, I'm really curious to see his mill!
Nice.
That is a nice and interesting video.
In one of your great videos you said something like “Aim for perfection, *something* excellence”. Can anyone please tell me the quote? I’m just missing a word I think and it was a great saying - short and true.
Thank you for your work, it gives me a lot of inspiration and excitement in my own.
To think I was worried Mr. Van Slyke was going to have issues maintaining your old sawmill! Seems he could make one out of spit and sawdust if he wanted to.
Gah, Dave pulled out the "scraper" and I thought it was an Opinel, and I openly cringed. No, don't use an Opinel as a scraper. Whew! Now I have to find a new tool. That scraper is beautiful!
team effort gets it done
Yes, we learn how much we don't know
I LOVE how the first thing he thought about was to recast a part. That I really like because it shows there’s just about nothing he won’t do to get the thing up and running. Dedication is so thin on the ground these days it seems.
I greatly enjoy seeing old things come back to life. It's like rebuilding history
I've been wondering when you'd get into some metal casting. With your wood and metal working skills you'd have a leg up if you wanted to set up your own foundry. I did it 11 years ago, it isnt that hard to gwt started. Now my favourite hobby is a part time business. Even if you don't get into foundry yourself, I'm really looking forward to the next video!
Abom79 might help you out with some shafts and nuts. Great guy and I watch him... there are other machinist too that might be will to donate time and parts for the cause to fully restore this to workable condition. Just good enough? Hmmm....
Life, when done right, is a circle. You merely pass the baton on when you finnish your bit and watch others run with it!
I have been playing with motors professionally since the 70's .... could you give any more details on that particular motor please? Is it 3 phase? .... What type of starter does it need? My guess if it is 3 phase would be a Star-Delta with an auto changer on a centripetal switch ..... but I am not always right, not at all! ;O)
Look up Century single-phase replusion-start induction motors here on youtube. These are very interesting in that they don't require a starter, instead the motor starts across the line as a repulsion motor (lots of torque but poor speed regulation) then when at the correct rpm a set of weights shorts out the commutator and then it opperates as a regular induction motor. The advanage being that no starter is needed and they don't have high starting currents like modern capacitor-start motors.
@@elektro9564 Thanks, always a good day when you learn something new!
Basically 2 motors in one ..... with a really cool sound as she stops.
Starting current is higher than run (about 2/2.5 times) but as you say a lot less than modern capacitor starts at 7times!
I have absolutely no use for one ..... but I still want one. If that makes any sense!
the school system should open the shop classes again . we need young kids in Jr. and High to learn how to work with their hands and tools put together math, English, read and computers. I had welding Ag, wood, machine, electrical shop classes in school
Is that an old Case forklift?
John Deere
@@DaveVanSlyke Very nice! Those old lifts are gold, old workhorses indeed. Cheers! ☕️
Scott let these people talk. Every time you do some type of interview or QA. the guest tries to explain something and you keep interrupting or asking more questions that they can't finished the first. God gives us 2 ears and one mouth. To listen twice as much as we speak. Let Nate do the interviews for now on.

CAUTION ! Running a shaft with a full length keyway in babbit bearings will destroy the babbit. It will wipe out the oil film. Making an excuse that it is only light duty and ya da ya da ya da, is just a lie. It will fail in very short order. Make a solid shaft with keyseats only where the pulleys are. Else you will face disappointment. ----Doozer
The key is turned down, pinned in and silver-soldered. How will it “wipe out the oil film”?
“a lie”…really?
@@DaveVanSlykeInternet keyboard warriors. Thanks for sharing your work with us.

@@DaveVanSlyke You never said, "..pinned in and silver soldered", in the video sir. You trumpeted a sharp rebuke only after your rectified your omission. Hardly civil discourse.
