Excellent job, I've just done an 18 inch Garrington Blackbird, i didn't break it down, ( to scared) but i like what i did, it's hanging from the joist in my man cave with half a dozen of his mates from various makers and country's .Also into clamps and adjustable spanners ETC. Magical job on your's . Tony, Australia.
Oh wow. You got WAAAAAY deeper into that Stillson's guts than I do. I've had some really bad results trying to remove rivets without trashing the surrounding material so I do all of my cleanup with it still assembled. That being said my goal is cleaned up and well functioning while keeping the age so that it still looks used but not rusty, nasty, greasy, or abused.
Thought you were doing a great job right up to the point you decided to paint it Red. Record Blue all the way dude. That minor gripe aside. Awesome restoration. The finish on the mechanism bit is fantastic.
Where do you get those pins that hold the cage to the handle?? I’m about to attempt a restoration on one of these. I’ve seen a lot of other guys fabricate something, but they’re not like the original one you seem to use.
Hi, I reused all original parts :) If you need that pin that cage pivots on than I would suggest to look at mcmastercar.com or just make it from piece of required diameter round bar.
Strange... I have many stillies and all comes apart just like that. Maybe thread is damaged on yours? Or perhaps manufacturer put in some kind of end stop? Any pins what would stop it to go through the nut?
@@jedisgarage4775 that’s what a think. After posting the comment. I managed to take one apart. The teeth looks ok and the tread. The other one is stubborn. That I see of the teeth, it looks ok. That’s why I thought it didn’t come apart. Cheers anyway 👍
I have one exactly like that one that I'm going to restore but it knows mine won't be up to the caliber of yours because I don't have the equipment you have. Nice Job 😊👍
I Just bought the larger one for $3. i started taking it apart tonight but had to drill the rivets out. I think i'm going to wire brush it and use Evaporust on it. I looked the company up and the last ones were made in 1911.
@@jedisgarage4775 I've been waiting for some soda to blast it with before I do the rust removal. I've never used soda before and it works great and doesn't damage anything.
im not sure but did he put it together backwards look at the wear marks on the wrench rite before he gives his thumbs up or am i wrong ?
Nice restoration
Thank you!
Nice tear down and clean up. Beautiful restoration.
Really nice job!
Thank you!

Very nice work. I was surprised you used a claw hammer and not a ball peen hammer.

How did that come right off? I have two record stilsons. None of them comes apart like that. When it’s fully open, that’s it.
