Question of the VIDEO: What appeals to you most about Restoration videos? Thanks for watching, I truly appreciate it! Be sure to hit subscribe if you're new and let me know if you like the videos! Have a great one!
In the modern world where everything is disposable, it's nice to see old "stuff" brought back to life. Watching your videos also gives me a bit more confidence to tackle resto projects for myself. Keep up the good work / great content
@@johncarey9149 I hate that everything is disposable! Some things that is fine, but I prefer my tools to be ones that last! I'm glad to give you confidence! You can do it, I have faith in you! Thank you for watching and commenting! Lots more to come!
It’s hard to pin it down. Is it the hunt? Then the tearing apart, cleaning, prepping and then the reassemble with fresh parts and paint. Man ya can’t beat that feeling with all the braggin rights? It’s so encompassing !!!
This made my day! My dad worked at Sioux Tools for 35 years as a machinist and eventually an engineer. I worked there myself during college in the summers. Thanks for the great video!
That is absolutely AWESOME!! If you had any old pictures or other tools from Sioux I would love to see them!! My email is in the about section of my channel! I also have a Sioux valve face grinder and a valve seat grinder that I plan to restore at some point! I'll probably start with the valve seat grinder! I appreciate you commenting, and letting me know your history with the company!
Nice. I picked up a Sioux "sander" (angle grinder) a few days ago. Still works. I would like to restore it tho. I am not sure what year it is. But it is listed in this catalogue that was printed in 1962. I believe they kept that exact same design through the '80s. Here's a link for the catalogue. The grinder you restored is also listed on page 34. archive.org/details/SiouxAirAndElectricToolsCatalogNo62
I understand the joy you had seeing an old tool restored from the company your dad worked at. I feel the same way when I see any of the You Tubers find a vintage or antique H.K. Porter bolt or tree limb cutter made in Boston, Mass. My dad also was a machinist and worked there for 20years. So if I see any H.K.Porter tool made there I can't pass it up and buy them and restore them as best as I can. I have a few, if you call 17 a few! I'm glad your dad made this grinder!
What appeals to me most is the fact that a tool is being resurrected. One mans trash is another’s treasure. Since we live in a disposable time where most would just as quickly toss that grinder in the trash, I’d be there right along side of you pulling it out of the barrel. We see the potential, especially with the older equipment. It was built to last back then, but even today’s stuff just needs a little love to come back to life. Great job you did on that lil gem. ✌🏼🤟🏼🤞🏼
I can’t help but think when you take apart worn out machinery that its never been disassembled since its creation 40, 80, 90 years ago. And how amazing you’ve stripped away the years to show us what it looked like brand new .... amazing to watch 😀👍 Someone that knows what they’re doing
I love restoring old tools and making them both useful and attractive again. I have a 45 year old Craftsman bench grinder that I use a lot and is looking pretty shabby. This video inspired me to give it a makeover in the near future.
i am glad to have inspired you!! you can do it, I have faith in that!! I wold love to see some pictures! Feel free to email me, my email is in the about section of my youtube page! Thanks for watching and commenting! Lots more to come!
Until TH-cam came along I thought I was the only one in the world that was crazy enough to restore old junk like this. Glad that now I can find others that love to do this kind of stuff. Just finished rejuvenating a lube pump that I've been using for 60 years, a Mac tool box I bought new in 1965 and my next project is a 70 year old Standard Oil Co. air compressor just as soon as I can move my 64 Ford Fastback out of the way. The 66 Mustang will have to wait.
I also thought the same thing! Those are some awesome projects!! I would love to see pictures! Feel free to email me pic, my email is in the about section of my TH-cam page. I am planning to restore an old champion 80 gallon compressor very soon, you will see that video in the near future! Thanks for watching and commenting! I truly appreciate the support! Lots more to come!
SalvageWorkshop That was an excellent example of what patience, some tools and years of ability can do for you. To purchase that quality of bench grinder today (Baldor) would be $600. You were lucky the windings weren't shorted or open.
I appreciate that!! I would love to find some used and abused Badors to add to the shop! They make some great motors! Thank you for watching and commenting! Lots more to come!
Some models of Baldor grinders can be more than $1,000. Justin, over at The Good of the Land bought his for $75. He restored it back to working order after a lot of effort.
It’s all in the detail, like dressing the thread for the wire wheel, you know in all probability it’s better than new. A job very well done, by someone who takes pride in their work and getting it right. A very enjoyable video.
Thank you, I do my best when restoring these amazing pieces of history! Then I put them back to work where they deserve to be! Thanks for watching and commenting! I truly appreciate the support! Lots more to come!
Well done... Even that little whoops with gloves and grinders... The knotted wire wheels especially - NO loose anything!!!! I got one wrapped in my shop apron, so I took that off and immediately caught my t-shirt!!! Great restoration, better than new! T-Wrecks
another 90 years of work left in it. Gloves, rings, jewelry, are prime targets for machinery.. I like restoration videos because I restore items and I get new ideas on how to fix things..
I totally agree! it helps to see how other people overcome issues when restoring and building things! The only issue when using wire wheels on an angle grinder is that the wires fly off and can lodge in your hands, I've had it happen. I want to find some safe gloves to help prevent that, clearly those were not the right ones! lol.
@@wetdedstuocm Not a bad thought! No wrist is a good idea, and mig welding gloves would give me the control I want but still have protection! I recently had a wire lodge so deep in my middle finger that I couldn't get it out of the bone... That the only reason I was wearing gloves during this project! Thanks for the suggestions!
I just watched this (over a year since you put it up). I started young helping my dad rebuild "old things". Just "because", we - and now I - always try to leave in use any square head bolts and nuts. I still buy them when I find them. I think it helps keep the character of the piece. Recently subscribed. Great videos!
I truly appreciate that! I always say "I only know enough to be dangerous, but MAN am I DANGEROUS!! I really do try my best with each project and I'm still learning new things all the time! I'm glad you enjoy the videos and I appreciate your support! Lots more to come!
I watch them because I fall asleep to them. Very interesting and relaxing. Only problem is the game of thrones music would wake me right up again. So personally, I enjoy no music no talking at all on these. Just my 2c given you graciously asked :)
Amazing restoration man!!! As a mechanical engineering student, and person who was born and raised right here in Sioux City this was an awesome restoration to watch!
First off hats off to you on a great restoration. Second I commend you for showing you made a mistake by leaving on the gloves and telling others not to. I learned the hard way too as a kid lol. However some people don’t get so lucky and lose an hand or an arm by wearing gloves when turning wood on lathes etc wearing gloves. Thanks again👍
Hey my name is David Cumberland and I am living in Kingston Jamaica I watch your videos and love what you are doing .I myself is a person like you but in February of 2017 iloxt my right leg and all my Tools ,Car and Furnitures was stolen by familys and friends so seeing your videos I am wondering if you. can please help me to get back some tools . If you're interested you can please contact me no my phone number 876 802 2912 or on my website address and we could talk about details Thanks for your time.
I wish I had the patience and ability to undertake such a task. I also wish I could find stuff like this in the UK. Everything is just so disposable here today and as such usually already has been thrown away! Fine workmanship and extremely entertaining, keep up the great work old chap!
I just started watching your vids. I enjoy them very much. If I were to redo anything like that I would have to snap a pic of everything I took off so I could put it back together again..lol
Nice work, it turned out great! Did you see my video were I restored a 1940 Walter Turner drill press, I not only restored it, I also brought it up to modern standards, variable speed, Tachometer and work light! It’s fun bring new life into these old tools! Take care :) Keep up the great work!
Much appreciated! I checked out that video! Great work! I have plans on adding VFD's to a few of my tools at some point! Thank you for watching and commenting! Lots more to come!
I watch a lot of restoration videos (can't get enough!) and I thought yours was top-notch! I especially like the "challenge" aspect… never tell me I can't do something! Good on you for proving them wrong! Thanks for posting, and keep up the good work!
Just found your site. Informative and interesting for a guy who is good at taking things apart, but not putting them back together again. Keep em coming.
I need to replace the bearing's in My 1950's grinder and paint it up it's better than one cheap one I use know and built better too. Great job saving it from being scrapped.
It wasn't too bad replacing them! That's about the only thing it needed, just be careful the wiring can be a bit fragile! Thank you for watching and commenting! Lots more to come!
When hammering bearings into place as shown DO NOT use a socket or tube that contacts the outside race. This can put tremendous stress on the actual balls in the bearing and can damage the races/balls. Use a smaller tube/socket and drive down the inner race. (Reverse if forcing a bearing into a recessed place like the housing.)
Thank you for your wonderful restoration of this bench grinder as I am from Iowa and Sioux City tools is very familiar to me they first started as a company to manufacture spark plugs and piston rings then went on to patent and manufacture tools beautiful restoration! Wonderful work!
I am glad you enjoyed the project!! it was a fun one to complete! I see a lot of Sioux tools in our area as well, I am only a bit east of you! Thanks for watching & commenting!
Who Said it couldn't be done ! just sit back and watch you! great job!. I loved seeing the Ideal strippers ! I have a pair identical, used to work for Bay State Elevator back in the mid 60's. got them then still use them today (amateur radio op now.) quick note. Harbor Freight's el cheapo heat gun. works wonders on that shrink tubing. better than open flame or soldering iron. brings it all down evenly. I know I did the same flame and soldering iron deal for over 50 yrs before I learned . (I should say I broke my "cheap" habit and splurged !. Thanks for a great video will look for more thanks for sharing.
I never let people like that stop me from doing anything! Those wire strippers are AWESOME... You have to be careful though, they have been known to bite! I already have a heat gun, buy many times I like to direct the heat a little better with the lighter... I'd like to find a small pen type heat gun or something! Thanks for watching & commenting! Lots more to come!
Much appreciated! Finding the right music and using it properly in videos like this isn't the easiest thing to do! I appreciate the feedback on that, I'm still figuring it all out! Thank you for watching and commenting! Lots more to come!
Great skill and patience. Perfect presented video as well. I like watching these videos because you are bringing back to life something that would be thrown away. All credit to you.
Great video man! The explanations in the pops are great. I like to watch the videos but understanding why you do what you do during them is great! Keep that up!
That is good to know, because sometimes I struggle with how many captions to include and how much to describe vs how much to just let the work tell the story. Thank you for the feedback!
Good restoration, well done. These were quality built machines and this grinder is ready for another 90 years service. Just two pointers, its good to chase old, rusty threads and the straightness of the armature shaft should be tested with a gauge. The machine will run very smoothly and silently if the shaft is straight.
Much appreciated! I'm sure those things wouldnt hurt, but the average guy probably can't check the straightness of the armature. I'll bet this one is straighter than 80% of all grinders you can buy new today! Thank you for watching and commenting! Lots more to come!
What appeals to me? I like that you take an old tool, working or not and restore to original condition. I like that you save the original labels, albeit a metal plate, a sticker etc. I like the repaint, even though it may not be original color. Then, when it's done, you plug it in, presto! Or, an old tool that doesn't require power, such as your anvil, it looks good as new and ready for service. I just love restored tools. If you get a chance, check out Scoutcrafter, he restores old tools and is quite good. Mostly hand tools. Awesome job on that old grinder, rewire to make it safe and truing up that old grinding stone.
I totally agree! It's fun watching the transformation! The videos I see where they don't show the use of the tool at the end are a bit of a let down! That's why I always like to show different ways to use tools or something! I have seen MANY of his videos, and he does a great job!
Hope fulfilled! Hope that something that is old and probably not working or usable can be restored and revived. And the hope that you have the skill and patience and ingenuity to do the work. I particularly enjoy that you don’t talk your way through it, and that you share important information via titles, e.g., stay safe! And the reveal music is entertaining. I think “I wonder how you fix that?” Followed by “Oh! That’s how!” Thank you.
I truly appreciate that! Sometimes people talk, but I prefer to let the work speak for itself! Thank you for watching and commenting! Lots more to come!

Being able to watch the old come back to life. Awesome...
The reveal at the end when the before and after pictures appear side by side. Often the transformation is truly shocking.

That is good to know, because sometimes I struggle with how many captions to include and how much to describe vs how much to just let the work tell the story. Thank you for the feedback!
Now that looks cool! Love it!
Thank you! Lots more to come!
Nice work!!

fact
if used again, it'll be just like how it was at the start, in 90 years.
Amen to that! Thank you for watching and commenting! Lots more to come!
Good restoration, well done. These were quality built machines and this grinder is ready for another 90 years service. Just two pointers, its good to chase old, rusty threads and the straightness of the armature shaft should be tested with a gauge. The machine will run very smoothly and silently if the shaft is straight.
Much appreciated! I'm sure those things wouldnt hurt, but the average guy probably can't check the straightness of the armature. I'll bet this one is straighter than 80% of all grinders you can buy new today! Thank you for watching and commenting! Lots more to come!
What appeals to me? I like that you take an old tool, working or not and restore to original condition. I like that you save the original labels, albeit a metal plate, a sticker etc. I like the repaint, even though it may not be original color. Then, when it's done, you plug it in, presto! Or, an old tool that doesn't require power, such as your anvil, it looks good as new and ready for service. I just love restored tools. If you get a chance, check out Scoutcrafter, he restores old tools and is quite good. Mostly hand tools. Awesome job on that old grinder, rewire to make it safe and truing up that old grinding stone.
I totally agree! It's fun watching the transformation! The videos I see where they don't show the use of the tool at the end are a bit of a let down! That's why I always like to show different ways to use tools or something! I have seen MANY of his videos, and he does a great job!
Wowie its very old now but good restoration there man
I totally agree! Still works really well too! Thanks for watching and commenting! Lots more to come!

Hope fulfilled! Hope that something that is old and probably not working or usable can be restored and revived. And the hope that you have the skill and patience and ingenuity to do the work. I particularly enjoy that you don’t talk your way through it, and that you share important information via titles, e.g., stay safe! And the reveal music is entertaining. I think “I wonder how you fix that?” Followed by “Oh! That’s how!” Thank you.
I truly appreciate that! Sometimes people talk, but I prefer to let the work speak for itself! Thank you for watching and commenting! Lots more to come!
Another great job
