It's Alive! It's Alive! Dr. FrankenResta has brought another creature to life!! The only thing missing was the sparks flying off the mechanical parts at the end! Good job......
I just wanted to say- I noticed one of your wrenches made an appearance in this video. I bought one of the mini ones a couple of years ago, and it’s been a treat. It works great! @HandToolRescue
Love to see old machinery in action. Before WWII my grandfather had a business in Boston repairing and replacing the leather belts used to drive machinery.
I especially like how you speeded up the grunt work. we don't need it all but speeding it up relieves some of the drudgery. great video, awesome machine!
Your DiRestoration was as Grand as the machine itself...Honors to You and the people who built it! Thanks Jimmy, for the mighty fine video and team effort! Hat Tip!
This is awesome. It’s like seeing inside the brain of a madman watching all the gears and levers. Far cry from the depth stop computer on the Nova you guys were just discussing.
it's silly, I have a bigger Rocklands drill went over it painted it in 5 days working it it's an oily grease mess, he didn't oil all the total OIL LOSE cups.
Wow Jimmy what a beautiful machine and they will never be built like that no more it's really good that you have gave it's life back amazing really enjoyed this video amazing as usual
This is theee best restoration video !!!!! INCREDIBLE ART !! the engineering and materials used to manufacture this piece of art is INSAIN !!!! No one could touch american engineering / machining / metal making back in the day . So cool to see machining being used to make parts !!! its a lost ART !!!!! IM IN AWE !!!!!! TAHNKS JIMMY !!!!! YOU BLESSED TO HAVE HARD WORKING HELPFUL FRIENDS !!!!
What I really like Jimmy that you take these amazing old machines and restore them back to beautiful working machines again that could have ended up in the scrap pile totally blowing away what an awesome machine 😁😁👍👍
MAN I love old Iron! They just don't make it like that anymore! Thanks for bringing new life to that old beast! You're going to enjoy it for years to come!
That was cleverly done. I've never seen someone with a broken gear just say "screw it, let's use a sleeve" and do away with all the repairs needed on the gear itself. I like it, and it seemed to work fine. Nice job!
I'm not sure it was broken. It was and is common to make a gear like that and purposely crack it to get it into a spot where it can't be pressed on. You can buy cracked bearings and gears right now from your favorite machine supplier. Cracking is better than machining because the two halves key together and you don't have to worry about remachining the bore afterwards.
Back in the day this would have been powered by a line shaft system running the length of the factory floor, with belts coming off the shaft running to each machine, either directly or thru some change of direction. I believe the rear facing lower pulleys seen here at 10:38 and 13:35 would be where the power inputs, with my guess being the outer one is freewheeling as they way the machine is idled while still connected to the shaft line. Here's a cool few links, one being a video, of turn of the last century shaft line factories. *How Did Factories Get Power to Their Machines Before Electricity?* www.core77.com/posts/58982/How-Did-Factories-Get-Power-to-Their-Machines-Before-Electricity *Belt-Driven Machine Shop in Railroad Town at Stuhr Museum* th-cam.com/video/lBpOzItIRio/w-d-xo.html Pay no mind to the OSHA cringefest
@@tommypetraglia4688 oh, I was joking! Old stuff like this was fine if you used common sense. Having guards and warning labels on even the most trivial of things nowadays is just dumbing down society...
Thanks for rescuing such great old machine. And thanks for the video!
Hay nice job jimmy and mates 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎😎😎👌👌👌👌🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤪🤪sweet

Your Evapo-Rust to rusty parts ratio is concerning. Fantastically high gizmosity factor on this one, it's glorious!
I actually smiled when I saw your wrench!
Funkyphreak they mention it at 9:55 !!

Джимми, постоянно смотрю твои видео. Это просто прекрасно!
The elegance of these old machines - beautiful!
Джимми Диреста вдохновил меня на работу руками! Раньше я вообще ими ничего не делал!! Thanks Jimmy!!!
Great idea to sleeve the broken gear!!
You have made a MONSTER MACHINE ! Very Very nice job !! Congrats !!
When it comes to restoration, it's safe to say that Jimmy knows the drill...
I don't get it
Yes, he definitely did his research.
Hehe, real funny.
Love to see old machinery in action. Before WWII my grandfather had a business in Boston repairing and replacing the leather belts used to drive machinery.
These old machines look cool and sound cool too! More big iron to put to work in the shop. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome job guys!!!! Every time I watch Jimmy with a piece of Americana power tool, I get the itch!!!! Need a workshop........
I can't stop watching these types of videos. It is so interesting.
Thanks for sharing, Jimmy!

Nicely done. I liked the way you saved that gear. I also like that you didn't remove the machine's history by filling the holes in its table. Sweet!
I especially like how you speeded up the grunt work. we don't need it all but speeding it up relieves some of the drudgery. great video, awesome machine!
Your videos are my favorite thing on TH-cam. Keep it up.
The elegance of engineering in those old machines are something to behold. Very cool restoration!
Another amazing piece of machine history rebuilt and put to use by Diresta awesome work
Your DiRestoration was as Grand as the machine itself...Honors to You and the people who built it! Thanks Jimmy, for the mighty fine video and team effort! Hat Tip!
Just beautiful watchin her work again! Great job!
Beautiful piece of machinery and an awesome job bringing it back to life. thoroughly enjoyable journey,
Solid tool for tough modern time
Wow...thanks! That was the coolest thing I've seen in quite some time. And made my Sunday morning much more enjoyable. Cheers to everyone!
Great job!. It reminds me of the machines we used with my classmates in my high school when I was a teenager. Now I'm in college, 22 years old.
Lot of works to restoration, but what a great reward to see it work
Im happy for your, thanks Jimmy
What a beast!! Again, Jimmy shows that the "old machines" can still get it done with a bit of TLC. Great job boys!!
Thanks for the video Jimmy. Love that you are bringing old machines back to life.
What a fantastic old machine. Looks amazing. Well done.
Thanks for saving History once again Mr. Diresta. Wonderful!
Damn, this is so cool unit, industrial age was something... :)
Thanks for history lessons
This is awesome. It’s like seeing inside the brain of a madman watching all the gears and levers. Far cry from the depth stop computer on the Nova you guys were just discussing.
You are still amazing, Jimmy.. Words can't describe it.. Great job, Jimmy!!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Watched this again and got a better understanding of the time and effort and how this particular press operates. Once again...GREAT JOB !!!!!!!!
it's silly, I have a bigger Rocklands drill went over it painted it in 5 days working it it's an oily grease mess, he didn't oil all the total OIL LOSE cups.
Love the Jurassic Park quote! On point!
Great job Jimmy and friends! The dino lives!
What a nice old machine ... Good Job Guys 💪🏽👍🏽
very cool! as a professional transmission rebuilder "retired" I enjoyed this video,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Wonderful. What a beautiful bit of kit.
Wow Jimmy what a beautiful machine and they will never be built like that no more it's really good that you have gave it's life back amazing really enjoyed this video amazing as usual
That is so pretty.... we don't make machines with any style anymore. Great Save sir.
Hey pal that thing is amazing, thanks for sharing. you da bestda.
Oh my. That's awesome!
Excellent work, congratulations
Wish I could give more than one thumb up on this one Jimmy, really loved this vid. Thank you!
You are spoiling us, Jimmy!

Just love these old machines. Looks fantastic.
beautiful machine and these belt hooks are awesome. Thanks for sharing ! 👍
Man i love seeing these big iron machines brought back to life.
Thank you.
Hard engineering 👌
Every body can't do it like you Jimmy
Very cool. Brought this old beast back to life.
Thanks for showing us this huge pile of J.U.'n'K.! (Joy, Utilities and Knowledge) Great job bringing these old machines back to life.

Absolutely
Priceless Vintage Column Drill Restore
Very nice. That trick with the broken gear was slick.
Awesome. That would look really sweet with some of that old school gold pinstriping.
Just incredible!!! Thank you for sharing. I was completely enthralled, in love with all the old tools!!!
This is a piece of art...
I always love restoration videos from this channel
What a beautiful machine. Not an easy or quick restoration, but now it's good to go another 100 years!
What I really like Jimmy that you take these amazing old machines and restore them back to beautiful working machines again that could have ended up in the scrap pile totally blowing away what an awesome machine 😁😁👍👍
just saw this and that is some SICK work on that drill press from hell !!! GREAT JOB !!!!!!!!!
MAN I love old Iron! They just don't make it like that anymore! Thanks for bringing new life to that old beast! You're going to enjoy it for years to come!
Just wonderful to see it operational again. Well worth to time and effort to bring'er back. Great job and a pleasure to view. Thanks Jimmy.
its a beautiful piece of machinery.
By using Evapo Rust, you've attracted various Canadians to your shop.
surprised with all the evaporust and square headed bolts that HTR wasn't there.
@@StevenAndrews He is, lurking in the woods.
@@StevenAndrews His wrenches were there, representing.
@@InstrucTube They weren't listed in the intro credits though, I think those were stand-ins.
Steven Andrews he has been there before, they did a power hammer video together
And she lives again. Wonderful work.
Only took 15 minutes 😆

@@gasfiltered Huh. Never seen one before. Thanks for the info.
@@gasfiltered True that.
@@gasfiltered many engine rods are done that way.
Nice work, again! Thanks
Very freaking cool! Beautiful machine!
What a monster! Nice resto.
The gizmosity is intense! That thing mechanical art.
Classic beast of a machine, nice work fells.
in awe at the size of this lad, an absolute UNIT
What a beast that thing is! I didn't realize the scale of it from the IG pictures. Excellent job, all!
IT LIVES !!!! Epic work lads .....Superb resto
I love the name DiRestoration, everywhere I see it I know who did and what's about! Love it, please keep using it!!
That's a nice restore love all the gears and to watch it work awesome thanks
I love the sound those old machines make. The clatter is music. Beautiful job!
What a beauty! IT'S ALIVE!
Great piece of machinery and great restoration!
Thank you for restoring another piece of America!
I see DiRestaration, I upvote.
The Diresta working museum. Awesome as always
Jimmy Diresta...the maestro of tool cool
Great to see so much work in 15 minutes. Can't see any yellow paint!
It's always a true moment when you flip the switch and it starts to work! Awesome resto! Kudos to you and Rob!
That's the coolest drill I've ever seen!
Belleza de maquina!!! Felicitaciones Jimmy!!!!
I'm not sure if it has enough unguarded dangerous spinny bits... 😂😂
Lovely work!

@@lukeybaby45 No they were not fine. Many many people lost body parts or died in these factories.
Titchtheclown you can work around dangerous equipment with the correct training and experience.
The machine was made before safety was invented
Wow... What a monstrous tool! 😮
Fantastic job, Jimmy!!!
Jimmy, amazing work to you and the guys yet again. It was fun following along with this one on instagram. Keep up the good work buddy
Beautiful, you should put it in a museum
What a magnificent object. Great engineering and fantastic sculpture in one. Lovely job
Your most beautiful restore to date!
Fantastic piece of engineering! Nice work Jimmy & Co
Historical Machine Tool Art... that works!
Отличный труд! Вернули Жизнь станку:-) Успеха Вам!!!!!
Sweet save on the cracked sprocket collar.. and of course machining the buggrd screw
Nothing but love here! OSHA would destroy the beauty of this piece with all the guarding they'd require! Nice job, Jimmy!
Thanks Jimmy. What a beautiful object. Way better to save it than scrap it.
Ахрененный сверлильный станок. Какие же были замечательные инженеры и конструкторы которые спроэктировали и рабочие, что изготовили данный станок.
