The way you nonchalantly use your bare hands to brush away the chips from your drilling, turning, filing, and tapping have sent ripples large enough to rip holes in the shop safety time-continuum and have our shop safety guy (a real piece of work, by the way) have a coronary! I love it...it adds 3 levels to your man-card!
A good job on a tough job! That machine must have been very valuable to the company that was using it for it to have been repaired so many times in so many placees.
You sir are a master of your craft. Thank you for preserving these old machines, they are priceless. I live 1/2 hour from Hespeler, Ontario (now absorbed by Cambridge). I am saddened by the demise of thousands of small town businesses that made good products, provided decent jobs and employed craftsman such as yourself. Keep up the good work to honour their memory.
@@HandToolRescue I'm guessing your channel is going to become way more of a challenge when antique items mostly consist of electric motors, terminals and plastic parts
Didn’t read all 1000+ comments, sorry if someone already mentioned this. There is a video of a man forging wagon parts using this same style hammer on the Engel wagons TH-cam channel I had never seen one before, now two in one weekend. I love these hand tool rescue videos. Very interesting to see the amount of engineering that went into these old tools
Thank you Thank you Thank you for putting a welding lens in front of the camera, my eyes thank you as well, you are great, i watch all your videos! Keep being great! Btw, i love that you sport Princess Auto stuff, i work there and i use your videos as tool references sometimes for my customers, elderly people think its awesome :)
My only advise. Lube every moving part before reassembling. Lube bushings before pressing in. Go in a little easier and if they ever need to come out it will be easier.
That sir, was a pleasure to watch and a credit to you patience and skills, I hope that whoever buys that from you, watches the 2 part video first so that they can see just what care and attention has been made and paid to get it to what it is now.....absolutely brilliant.
Outstanding workmanship after seeing your first video I thought for sure that it was a piece of garbage and could not be fixed you sure prove me wrong that is a fine piece of workmanship well done!!!
Monster machine there. Very impressive. She'll be stompin n chompin for many more years now. Amazing what good shape the bearings were in, considering the otherwise heavy use. Looks like someone paid attention to this ol' gal.
REALLY nice Restauration but, you should have installed an oiler instead of the greasenipple on the babbot bearing. Don't forget to grease every moving part, with no lubrication the holes will wear out very quick. Greetings from Germany.
I still say you are the best at restorations of old tools..... Just stay away from wood..lol that poor tool box still gives me nightmares..But seriously amazing work! I am surprised no museums have asked you to be on staff.
What's funny is, I'm Canadian but the whole "maple syrup" thing doesn't really resonate. I'm from near the west coast, in BC so, the east with its maple syrup fetish is so far away, it kind of feels like a whole other country.
Fun fact. My HTR wrench was the only tool I needed to assemble my snow blower. Could even use it to hold the funnel in place when I poured the engine oil.
@@XxmatixX6videosdiariosdenadav But it was not used to assemble the snowblower, just fill up the oil. There's a difference between assembling mechanical components and adding fuel\oil, in my opinion at least.

Almost every blacksmith work is a thin line between: "that's some nice ax that you got here" and "he lost his skull in an accident, when the propane tank exploded the 25kg hammer right in his face"
This is my favorite antique tool restoration - ever. If I could give a YoTube award, this would be best project 2018. Someday I want to visit and be your assistant! 🧰👍🏼🥽💥
I came here to see who else thought it incongruous that he says always lift file on the backstroke then proceeds to drag it back and forth but apparently that was supposedly intentional humour ! I must be getting old !
I really enjoyed this video. Hespeller was amalgamated with Galt and Preston to become the City of Cambridge, ON where I live. It's nice to see a bit of the history.
Hey HTR, I'm not second guessing, but if you occasionally improve a restoration by replacing something inferior with a modern part or procedure, why did you not prime the parts before painting? You told us they weren't primed originally, but wouldn't the paint be more durable with a good etching primer then a finish coat? I'm sure the new owner wouldn't notice or object to the change.
I went old-school on this one because if this is actually used the red paint will be covered in black/brown dirt quickly, so a super durable paint is not really needed.
Might I suggest in the future a trial of either Petit or Interlux polyurethane marine paints. Usually only one coat is required. They can be either brushed or sprayed on with an HVLP sprayer. The results are gorgeous and very durable. Once I was turned on to these paints I've never painted machines with anything else. (I have no affiliation with either company, simply have used these products).
You can't use grease in a babbot bearing. It's not going to last very long. You need the oil to wash out the deteriorated babbot, otherwise it will just eat itself. Grease will not allow this self washing action... Whomever buys this make sure to remove the grease fitting and put a gravity oil drip feeder into the babbot bearing
There are many antique tools with grease cups on babbitt bearing surfaces. The grease works best for tools used in very dirty areas as it does not let any particles in and can easily be squished out with a new shot of grease.
@@HandToolRescue while I disagree with your application, I agree that grease works for dirty applications. Check out the book/pdf "Millwrighting" by James Francis Hobart from 1919. Has sections both on grease lubrication and babboting. "Lubrication by means of grease should only be considered when the pressure is heavy and the motion slow. Grease is not suitable for machinery running at high speed, but works well enough for slow moving journals."
Do it locomotive style. Press more grease in and the old squirts out and you wipe it away. My dad has an old 40's Ford 9N tractor with the 3 point hitch and power take off. Lots of Babbit bearing joints back there need greasing often if used a lot.
I bought some Evapo-Rust. The stuff is amazing. I am having fun as an old retired guy restoring all my tools I've use all my life to earn a living and in doing so truly abused some.
maybe nex time you could fill the dents in the cas iron with a stick welder, if the dents where there in the first place maybe the epoxy would not hold the abuse
I was waiting for the part 2 but it was totally worth seeing the machine restpred back to its original state, thank you, Hand Too Rescue and keep up the good work...
Mmmm yeah! Lead paint cigarette. Man what a huge project, I love that you painted it red, my favorite color. That reminds me, I used to watch a youtube channel a while back of a guy who had a machine shop that ran on steam, he made alot of babbitt for his machines. Interesting stuff. Awesome video and great job on such an amazing tool.
Pins have oil-bronze bushings. You do not grease bushings, you oil them. But yes, he should have oiled the pins for installation. That dry assembly made me cringe a bit. Source: 8.5years as Navy steam turbine mechanic.
Nice joke, how you fill that grease gun. Been waiting for this Pt 2. You're an entertaining worker. $4000 USD sounds about right. Right? *RIGHT?* Come on, we need thumbs up here. LOTS of thumbs up.
Liked the restoration and it looks like good work. I debated doing a full resto on my 1910 champion, but instead converted it to air using a 2.5 inch Bosch cylinder and a Norgren shuttle valve. I Know some will consider it Blasphemy but it works well with a 5 horse compressor

👍 Awesome refurbish! Takes me back 65 to 70 years when I watched our local blacksmith use his power hammer. Tnx for sharing! Great 2 videos.
Great to see machines coming back to life!
Thank you!
Hey Abom two years in the future you're going to help HTR with a larger power hammer. Just thought you should know.
The idea to use sandpaper to make the putty look like cast is great, thanks for that, was new for me.
It's weird how much I enjoy watching these kinds of videos given that I can't even hammer a nail.
FINALLY!! a use for all those huge cotter pins you get in the assorted package that you never thought would have a use!
EXACTLY!
Impressed you used tig and didn't just jam some huge rods in at high heat on a stick welder !!! All together nice work as usual
Brilliant idea to add the grease fitting...couldn't figure out why you were drilling that part out but makes perfect sense. Well done...
A good job on a tough job! That machine must have been very valuable to the company that was using it for it to have been repaired so many times in so many placees.
I respect that you give good filing advice and I respect even more that you kept going with the restoration even after having a seizure when filing.
Lathes seem so terrifying, yet so useful. Absolutely hypnotic to watch, as usual.

Your area was a hotbed of tool production at the start of the 20th century! There has to been some amazing stuff to be found.

With some upgraded parts they are 10 times better than the stuff from today

Difficult tool. Awesome work. Probably THE Boss of restoration on YT. Congratulations once again !
I have watched many of your restorations, however none can compare to this one...Wow just Wow!
Thank you for putting a filter in front of the camera while welding. My epileptic self is very grateful indeed! And awesome work as always!

Awesome video as always, sir. The texturing trick with the sanding disc is a good one! Also, props on the 'Murica sized Nutella barrel ;-)
Thank you!
can something be really American when the weight is in kilo's?
I think 3kg of Nutella is somewhere around 2kg of vegetable oil, so it's probably not a bad lubricator.
@@markschwarz2137 well the major part is sugar of course. Around 1.7kg are sugar, a little less than one kg are fats.

We use Bacon Grease here in the States. But the Maple Syrup is a nice touch! That whole machine just screams "Extremely Painful Death"!!!
Working with white hot metal no matter what size will keep your attention or you will wish you were dead!

bet the machines smell great when they have been running for a while.
Simply stunning. The Nutella and Maple Syrup get me every time.

You Sir have created the Hope Diamond of tools that outshines all others. This tool, aka work of art, demands, and deserves, the big bucks.
Holy shit. This was originally made in my hometown. Hespeler is now part of present day Cambridge, Ontario. My best friend lives in old hespeler 😱
Cool trick with the sand paper and hammer for the cast look, hadn't seen that one before!
No one else is wondering why you used annealed O1 for the pins, but I sure am.
Jon Anderson for real that’s soft like other steels why not use a cheaper steel. 01 is good forging steel. :/
You made a good restoration in this hammer.
