New channel idea. You using that mfing needler thing on old paint for hours and hours on end. Trillion dollar idea
You should have people send you their power hammers so you can refurbish them.
The fact that it all came apart so nicely speaks volumes for grease vs oil.
Valid point
There's a reason anything modern that isn't bathed in oil or pressure fed oil is greased. Because grease is simply better than intermittent oiling.
It's very messy, but also very effective. @@Lucas12v
Be careful swapping grease out for oil. Different load cases require different viscosities. Generally higher loads (like I might expect in a power hammer) would use a thicker lubricant to ensure a robust film between moving parts. If the lubricant is too thin then it can be pushed out resulting in higher wear. It might move more freely with a thinner oil, but it might not last as long. There's a balance to be struck. Grease to oil is a BIG difference.
Bread makers everywhere are jealous of the amount of crust in this video.
Man, it would be awesome to see that beauty sand blasted and restored to its original color and gorgeousness!
Dry ice blasting would be my choice, less chance of damage to any machined surfaces and less mess (no abrasive waste). But yeah, doing that versus needle scaler, wire brush and scraping would most likely be faster and more thorough.
I like to watch these restorations way more than knives. But I’ll come back for anything Will is doing.
Before you chipped off all that paint, did you check to see if it contained lead ? asking for a friend. Dig the resto work, rock on.
The paint is not mint flavoured, but the more important question: is it lead flavoured? 😂
If he said it was 'flavored', it might be.
Considering the age, you can almost bet it is lead based paint.
If it’s sweet, then yes.
(Lead acetate, the lead compound in lead paint, is sweet)
Lead makes you dead.
Brain dead, that is.
Being young is such a risk.
During my career in Construction, I have been paid millions to remove lead and asbestos from various projects. Neither of those materials are very harmful, unless they get inside you. Then, they really, really suck.
Stay smart, stay safe, and it will be easier to stay healthy as you age, if you are so lucky.
Old paint, old brake shoes and their dust should be treated as deadly as a snake eager to bite you in the face.
I found an restaration of an beaudry no.2 and the author said better wear a very good respirator because the paint might contain lead. @WillStelterbladesmith I like your energy and what you do, but please take care of your health.
I'm impressed by how 'easy' it was to disassemble! (Easy with the right equipment.) The fact that none of it was completely rusted together or jammed speaks volumes about the care of design & construction. And the way it was looked after, even if it was never stripped before. That grease may be more like tar, now, but it still kept everything (more or less) protected & mobile!
I absolutely love these restoration videos. It's great to see all the step by step progress, along with learning how these machines work. I look forward to the next video! Thanks!
Congratulations on becoming a father, that's a great baby!
It is always great to watch one of your restoration videos. Knowing there are people of your generation with the knowledge or willingness to obtain the knowledge to work on these great pieces of historical engineering. Please where some more PPE when needle gunning. Who knows what all is there to inhale.
You were knocking grease, but it definitely protected that power hammer. It came apart easier than any other I have seen.
Will,
Use your protective gear! That green paint is pretty. Did you know that one of the key components of old (> 100 years) green paint is arsenic. And lead.
Lead test kits are available and inexpensive. I don’t know about a test kit for arsenic, but I would be willing to bet that they are also available.
Keep the aspidistra flying!
God bless,
Paul
Yup, get a proper respirator, at minimum.
With equipment as old like this, the "weather prediction" is _Patches of lead, chance of arsenic, and possibly some asbestos too._ Oh, and if it got repainted, some Cr(VI) or hexavalent chromium paint might be in the mix too.
I'm reminded that my dad's favorite solvent for tractors and earth moving equipment was 5 gallons of gasoline in steel tub. That would clean up a lot of that greasy, dirty crud with just some minimal steel brush work.
Why is there something so entertaining about watching someone take apart machines, clean them up, and put them back together?
Will, grab yourself an angle grinder with a knotted wire cup brush for that type of paint and scale removal. It’ll change your life! God bless! Love the content.
Damn. There can’t be that many people who know a power hammer that well.
Love it
With that much grease it might be worth getting a small-medium automotive parts washer to let the smaller parts soak in the cleaner. Having one did wonders on my grease crusted axle and transfer car parts.
I was so happy to see how smoothly this all came apart. You deserve it after the other restorations you've been through😂
Have you ever thought to try dry ice blasting to clean anything. We use it for cleaning where I work and it works well and it works fast
Watching all the crust and rust being removed feels as good as removing a splinter. Great video!
That my friend, is some of the best ASMR restoration jobs I've watched in a while.
Wil, putty scrapers are perfect for doing the scrapping job. You can even sharpen the edge to increase its scrapping performance.
hammer/machine restoration business in the future? this is the most satisfying video a man can find!
Will you've got to throw us a bone, give us a "Part 1 of 37" in the title or something...can't wait to see this come back together.
Over all, it looks like it came apart a lot easier than other restoration projects you've done. Good sign things are going well.
24 minutes of Will giving the people what they want. Gotta love it
I appreciate how much you enjoy old tools. I sent an email to you about a old lathe. Never heard back. I thought you would be interested because it's inherent you take it or intake it to scrap. I really don't want to. I don't have room in my shop. Bummer I never heard back. I do still have it
I've been around so much old industrial equipment that I can pretty much smell your hammer through the video.
Man this is giving me flashbacks to the one from when you were just leaving Alec's shop my heart skips a beat even just thinking about that
Will. I'm so impressed, how fearless you are, taking on what seems to me, a pretty massive task. Good on you mate! Keep up the good work. 👍
Awesome project. It’s incredible how they were able to make them so well-built over 100 years ago.
I mean. Not being argumentive, but things from a hundred years ago had to be built to last 100 years. I don't think 100 years was the intention, but they couldn't just drive up the road for replacement parts and they probably never imagined they ever would be so things were generally designed and crafted to last. And also also, 100 years, in the aggregate, isn't very much time, so people weren't exactly stupid or incapable a mere blip ago.
I played a drinking game while watching this. Everytime you said "oh my gosh" I took a shot. Hammered at the end of a 20 min video!!!
I'm 100% on board for any power hammer video!
I love seeing you do restore videos. Just seeing what goes into these old hammers and tools gives me joy and makes me happy knowing there not going to a landfill or junk yard
Well, this has tipped the balance, and now I’ve subscribed.
"That is so smart!" I say that sometimes too! Mark of an engineering mind!
That is an ENORMOUS project. Aside from major cleaning, seems in good condition. Defo needed this tune up.
Looking forward to seein' the old gal up and runnin again.
Looks like a great project. Can't wait to see how it turns out.
20:16 that is by far the biggest set screw I've ever seen!
If you don't have one you need a shop-vac. Plus a cleaning section next to your shop.
What an incredibly satisfying video.
My favorite series of what you have done is the rebuild of the power hammer!!
We need Part 2
Love these restoration series that you do!
Loving it Will, always good to see some old kit being restored and used. If only they built stuff today this repairable!
15:23 please let me send you a proper impact wrench
Hoping one day to see a Will and Handtool Rescue crossover.
We better get the next episode soon, because that power hammer is absolutely amazing. I can't wait to see it up and running.
A small tip for when you have rusted over bolts with exposed threads. Hit them with a wire wheel to remove the exposed rust to make removal far easier. Trust me as a dude that works on cars in the North East.
Very cool to see you bringing back these beautiful hammers back to former glory
YES NEW POWER HAMMER VIDEO
Wow you did it, Will. You really are the warhammer 40,000
Will may be a very successful bladesmith....but the enthusiasm of the 11yo boy taking apart that hammer shows just how MUCH he likes fooling around on the tools as well as with them.😊
That looks like a big, tedious project. But it looks like a worthwhile project. If it was me, I would be thinking seriously about getting a sandblaster right about now.
Nice job Will.
Hey Will, greeting from South Africa. To clean off that gunky grease, you can use Paraffin/Kerosene and a paint brush or copper brush, thereafter you can hit it with a power/high pressure cleaner and de-greaser solution. Can’t wait to see the end result of this restoration. Think you need to ship me a small power hammer to South Africa👍🏻. Blessings and keep well.
It shows you how strong Will is when he carries around a 95 pound piece of metal like it's nothing.
Great video! Glad I got to sit in on your social media session today!
a really interesting bit of kit and a great showcase of it and all the processes to restore it. looking beautiful and sharp, was some of it filmed from a ladder, or an upstairs i've not spotted yet :D great close-up illustration shots at some tricky angles, really got to see how it went together and great to see it coming together so beautifully
I love these breakdown and resto vids!
7:23 Will definitely had flashbacks to his other hammer falling at Alec's shop
I was just thinking man I haven't heard from Will in a while and then boom you pop up with a new video and it's a power hammer restoration heck yeah!!!!
Supercool video Will. Thank you. 😁👍🏼
Amazing you did all that work and it only took 24 minutes!
Yesss another will stelter video!
Loving your take on ASMR/zen shop videos.
What color will you paint it? A shade of red to stand out, maybe?
Incredible job mate. Can't wait to see how this turns out.
Sooo satisfying watching paint and grease peel off.
This was so satisfying to watch!
more parts than expected
Once again Will was like "STOP! Powerhammer time!" 😁😁😁
Just please don´t drop it.
*"Noooo!"*
Man my heart broke when that happened. I felt so bad for Will!
Ouch. When that hammer hit the ground.... I felt Will's pain
RIP
This. Will, be careful! We are telling yoi this out of love!
lost you there for a bit, glad to see you here
Love it!!!! Envious of the beaudry's
there's a very good reason as to why they used grease and not oil, as a piston goes up and down in a cylinder it creates heat which in turn heats up the grease making it softer and softer until its more like a liquid that easily lubricates what it needs to and can get it places it needs to, the same thing is used in lots of heavy equipment that are used for many hours at a time much like this power hammer was. oil is good for smaller, finer devices with much higher tolerances but needs to be changed more frequently. its actually quite understandable as to choose grease over oil.
Will Tanks for Sharin my friend love your channel
The title made me think you dropped it !!!!! glad I was wrong.
Nice work Will!
21:37 'I wear my sunglasses at night, so I can, so I can' 😂
looking awesome
Satisfying to watch! Great video, Will!
The smell of the old grease must've been magical.
Now imagine it's an entire battleship you're trying to derust!
your fair on that point oil for external applications to brush debris out of mechanism , grease inside where debris cant get clumped up
So awesome!!!
Excellent video!
Great Job
Nice work. Hope turns out great.
You should make a matching set of Chinese butterfly swords with a scabbard
From your title - I thought it was going to fall over and break in half! I was just waiting for it all the way through. Thank god it didn’t
Dude, you need a sand blast booth!
Very very cool, love when you do these.
Looks like a good candidate for some soda blasting...
Take it out in the yard a giver...
Probably take a couple of bags...
I picked up a big old Sparkle parts washer that used to be in an auto repair shop. you need one. cool graphics on it too.
The title of the video gave me anxiety lol. So glad this has a happy ending.
I love that he said yebo right after being in SA
Nice gear/equipment... And video... Keep going bro
That was fun to get an inside look at the mechanics of the hammer. I can't wait to see it get back to work - thanks!
