Hey guys, I'm back from my somer break. I was on vacation with my newly renovated camper in the first two weeks of August and it was quite the trip. I'll tell you more about it in a future video. For the past two weeks I've been working on this new episode of the Scrapyard-Repair-A-Thon and here it is. I hope you will enjoy it.

Thanks buddy!!!! I saw ya on deisel creeks channel
Talk about suprised to see a new episode this morning !!! Awsome saturday!!!
Just a little help with you're english the C in scythe is silent so scy in scythe is the same as si in sigh
Waited so much for another of those vides, just in time that i just finished a prototype of a cnc mill that fits my garage 🤩🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
@@ProfaneGod likewise the apostrophe in you're means a letter has been omitted. Without the omission the words would have been you are (not your) :)
@@Potsie tbh it was always the most confusing thing to me in school and i guess old habits are the hardest to get rid of probably would of helped if my teacher back then didn't quickly say one line about it then never mentioned it again
love your videos!
They are splendid, aren't they? :D
Was this the inspiration for your one scrapyard tool fixing video?
I love yours!
I did a thing I love yours
Same
Its so cool seeing you restore these tools to working quality and I appreciate that you don't make them shiny like chrome but rather keep them looking like they've done decades of work
@grafvonstauffenburg Interesting!
I love that you always give a shout out to the viewers in the country your tools were made in. I also love the idea of calling an historic tool, "mature."
You broke my brain with the alarm bell explanation
I was following, feeling superior until the control circuit for the salvaged mosfet... I then went retarded..
Gave me a headache! His knowledge is far superior to mine! Always here to learn though 🙂
Maybe you will feature in a future repair-a-thon then :)
@@grotekleum Looking forward to my trip to the TPAI shop. Hope I don't have to spend too much time in the salvage yard!
You could’ve bought the road roller and used that to haul back the 3 welders 😁
That is very funny!!! That is exactly what my father would have done!!!
He needs funding to run an engineering job shop. He would be an extremely wealthy man.
Hehe good idea
Having Driven Rollers in Running Operations, Max Speed 2-3 mph, rough riding, Brutal beasts
Oh how I've missed these vids.
Me too...
Oh good I was worried I'd missed some
Same!
Im playing catchup too, but i can binge watch this!
In the UK we would call the last drill item a " Brace and Bit"
Same in the USA
Same in USA
Australia too
Same for the US, the Master Electrician I learned the residential wiring trade from in the 1960s claimed had wired 100s homes in his day with the brace and bit, he had a ton of bits with the squares cutoff that we used in the 1/2" right angle drills. I can just imagine long a wiring job took or how much it cost. I still have one from him at the bottom of my toolbox for memories' sake.
We had no electric drill when I was growing up in the US in the 1950's. All of our holes were made with a brace and bit. This video brought back memories...
I _really_ appreciate seeing all of the scrapyard rescues and restorations. I especially appreciate your understanding that it doesn't matter how vintage a tool might be, if it can't perform its job, it is junk. Repairing, abusing to replace batteries, all are acceptable to return the tool to its original purpose.
For the brace and bit - there's pretty much nothing that beats them for doing clean holes through wood. There's a small trick - don't drill all the way through. Drill through until the screw point penetrates to the other side. Then go to the other side and drill again. That gives you a clean hole on both sides of the wood.
I have two sets of them. When I have a need for a clean hole, or extreme speed control, that's my preferred choice. I also prefer augur bits to spade bits.
The Induphon bell could actually be used as a loud signal indicating the phone is ringing in very noisy industrial environments. I have seen such setups in my youth...
haha that's pretty extreme!
@@Basement-Science The noise in some industrial environments is beyond extreme.
You might be right but it reminds me of school when there was only one bell for the whole building.
Dear deavman
👍👌👏 I wanted to comment exactly the same. Those bells had also been used for schools and ice cream, bread or food selling trucks (12 Volt).
Best regards, luck and health.
"Phon" is actually an unit in which loudness is measured.
It's really good to see a young man who is passionate about old gear. Not only passionate but who actually wants to learn what it was like to have to use old equipment. GREAT videos and God bless.
"In my eyes there is no better security than having basic timeless skills", a quote from the first few seconds of your video. You sir, are most humble in your reckoning of your level of skills.
You know you're in the right and cultured place when the video ends with C&C Red Alert ! Danke fur das video von Belgien.
Careful with the handles on the drawknife, they may come off when you least expect it. The ends of the tangs are usually bent over the ends of the handles. Using self-cutting screw-on handles would also work.
Retire the old Bosch? No way! Watching you fix her is how I got started watching you! I've fixed so many power tools thanks to watching those videos! I love these videos so much and the idea of her not being included is blasphemy in the eyes of the metal gods!
The hand drill is lovingly called a “Brace” here in the States. You brace your shoulder or hip against the knob to apply pressure for drilling or driving fasteners. Awesome video as always!
I really appreciate how you thoroughly clean up these tools, without getting too carried away. Perfect job!
Ha yes! The ‘ratchet drill’ brings back memories. We called it a ‘brace’ I think commonly known as such on the UK and colonies. We were taught to keep turning the brace clockwise even when withdrawing the drill bit from the drilled hole.
Hey partner! You could make some of your work easier by boiling the rusty and dirty metal items. Just use a big pot and boil the item for an hour or two. The water can't get above boiling point so you don't have to worry about ruining any springs.
Good luck and greetings from the United States, John
that pipe cutter is a BEAUT! that red paint really pops, practically new-ish
I don't think I'm alone when I say I'd love to see more videos of the type where you explain like you did about building the alarm bell system with all of the components except maybe even more detailed. I'd love to see the troubleshooting and the "well if I have x situation and need to get to y then I need to add a, b, c components which also require j, k, l etc etc" along with the equations and calculations to figure out resistor values and all of that stuff
Please keep making these videos. Some places here in the states will not let us pick them, so finding cool projects like yours are more difficult. Awesome video, thanks.
Wasn't expecting to see a tool or equiptment on here from where I lived in Maine but that is awesome! I used to drive by that Irwin Plant every day on my way to work.
Be very proud of it. They make extremely high quality tools.
Have for decades too.
I bought a complete, unused set on Ebay, 3 years ago, in Germany for 40€ 🙂 and I use it with the same Flott Brace, shown in the video. Both nice and HQ tools.
Lincolnville here, Caught me off guard as well!
You, sir, are the Norm Abrams of salvage building. Wonderful content!
Love to see these old tools with unmatched quality being saved from the scrap pile! 👍🏼
Great work as always. Love the look of the metal shear! I have an almost identical one but it's missing its long handle. It is one of the renovation projects I plan on doing later after completing SEVERAL others.
Keep up the great repairathons! Tschüß!
You have made me look at old tools and gear when I am looking through second hand stores, I have found some really interesting tools since I have watched your videos, cheers
The first item you found is a drill, used before the electric hand drill. I used one of these in the early ‘70s when drilling in roof trusses, it is missing its clamp, the clamp was fixed to the truss from this clamp there was a threaded rod with a plate with a locating dimple which fitted over the pointed end of your drill, the drill it was fitted as you say, by the use of nuts on the threaded bar downward pressure was applied to the tip of the drill bit, the ratchet was turned using the bar, when the hole began to be produced the nut on the rod was adjusted to create more pressure on the drill bit and the procedure continued until the hole was drilled.
Great series, very enjoyable. Thanks alan
The first find and last repair is one of my favorites.
The shear will cut heavier metal than most assume it is capable of.
By cutting with small bites and allowing the material to pass through the frame using the offset 4 mm thick steel material can be cut in long sections.
That first hand drill, I've got this girl exactly the same one, and those bits with the angle Square on the end. Did you know I've had a pile of these bits and drill laying around forever, and I never knew that those bits were for that drill. So I wanted to thank you, I really do learn something new everyday. Amazing Channel, lifetime sub here.
That bell reminded me of the recess bell from elementry school in the 1960's. It gave me flashbacks of waiting for it to sound. Oh what a lovely sound it was. I also remember watching every tick of the clock and i remember how the clock actually went backwards sometimes. As a school kid i asked how can time go backwards! nobody knew the answer. I found out years later that those old school clocks ran on a crude network with a central oscillator which kept all the clocks in correct time. So if a clock was running too fast, it would go backwards to keep in time with the other clocks. It would be really cool to see one of those clocks fixed. I now fix old clocks out of datsun cars that were sold in the japan in the 70's. They used an oscillator and a tuning fork. The tuning fork makes a humming noise when running. It is really cool old technology.They are quite rare to find and the oscillator boxes are sometimes missing so i had a solid state oscillator built that uses a quartz mechanism. I have a few original oscillator boxes with a tiny tuning fork. I would imagine this is originally german technology. Here is one running. ruclips.net/video/LK53uAxt95Y/видео.html
usually a little different bell, and fortunately for everone, not nearly as ear damaging within 50 feet.
The ratcheting auger should work in the middle position where it's fixed. Mine does.
So glad to see you back and adding to our knowledge and entertainment. You are one of the people who remind me how much I enjoyed my numerous months in Bavaria.
I enjoy your tool restoration videos. Thank you for saving these old, still useful tools. If times are good or bad, the best investment is the investment you make in yourself. Keep learning. Regards from USA.
All this glorious metal hacking.. with philosophy.. and even some German lessons too! Mein Gott! What a great channel!
The truncated pyramid shape is called a "Square taper shank", at least over here in the USA
I have about a hundred fifty lbs of random bits and such with it. Never knew it's actual title. That's awesome to learn.
Really enjoy ALL your video's and especially the Scrap Yard finds. It really is amazing to watch you fix things that have been discarded that could've been repaired and used for many more years. Its great you put this older tools and electronics back to work! I appreciate you showing people that fixing things can be not only good for the environment but also good for own mental health. It is very rewarding to someone to accomplish things. Today here in the USA people are having to SUE companies for the right to repair! OMG how silly is that! I mean these big corporations that sell sub par crap do not want people repairing items they have bought and paid for that rightfully belongs to the purchaser! This is not only an invasion to ownership and REPAIR but is also a huge environmental problem! All these items that COULD be repaired are having to be thrown away and why is this? Greed! They just want to sell us more sub par crap! Please continue this series as well as your Camper Restore! How great! Thanks! RIGHT TO REPAIR! We Have a right to repair what belongs to us!
You're a bloody legend man! I love the effort you put in. I love the mix of electronics and old tools, the bits if history you talk about, how you restore things so that they're ready to be re-used rather than sit on a shelf shined to perfection
I like the appreciation you have for hand tools but also technology
Your videos are always a pleasant surprise.
I wish you could have seen the smile that slowly spread across my face when you fired up command and conquer. That was my favorite game as a young teenager.
12:15 I've always heard that style of hand drill called a bit brace here in the states. I love your channel man, finding people repairing things gives me hope for the future. I live 30 miles away from Portland Oregon and it seems like everyone here wants to destroy everything.
"In my eyes there is no better security than having basic timeless skills". So true.
It was great seeing one of your detailed technical drawings again!
I have watched most of your videos so far and I really enjoy them. Your mechanical skill is at the same level as own but I am in awe at your electronics skill set. I have a strong understanding of the theory of electronics gained while studying for physics degree but my practical knowledge is limited, so although your videos are not heavy on the instructional side of the electrical circuits you build, they are inspirational. Thank you
Thanks for the video, I always feel a bit jealous of that scrap yard that you go to. Some things you might like to try - Caustic Soda is pretty cheap in crystal form and is great for cleaning grease and particularly removing paint. It can be harsh on some plastics. Also a paint additive "Flood - Penetrol" is excellent for rust prevention on metal. It is a drying oil that is not sticky and lasts for many months. You can read it's normal uses on their data sheets. Stay safe and well :)
Love your channel ..it would be great to now on your videos how much you pay for the scrap you buy ..take care
Great job saving these old works of industrial history !
I would be thrilled to know even half of the things you do about electronics diagnostics/repair/circuit design.
it's just amazing what people find no value in. Thank goodness, you see their usefullness and share the restoration with us.
Great video and finds, thank you!
P.S. A twisted knot wire wheel works much better for removing rust, and paint, and it won't throw nearly as many bristles at you.
I'm happy to be a member of your fan club! It's always an enjoyable ride. Thanks!

Hey nice to see you back in business. I would like to tell you a trick for the ultrasonic cleaner. You don't have to submerge the parts you're cleaning into the tank and always clean up the tank afterwards. Easier method that works also as good as the basic is getting different sized plastic containers with lids (peanut butter jars etc you can also use glass jars but it sucks if they get broken) just put the cleaner solution into the jar and the part you're gonna clean in. And have water in the tank and put the jar floating on top of the water in the tank the same vibrations comes tought the jar and cleans the parts and then you can just clean the jar.
Anyways... nice video once again
Classic TPAI.. Perfect Sunday morning viewing.
Love this content, it’s a form of junkyard archeology.
it is actually better, he revives things, not just marvels at
It's enjoying to see the subtle different ways that people in other regions of the world repair things, I have concluded that electrical insulated screwdrivers and pliers are general use in Europe.
I love how you have to fight your own desires vs practicality over the huge welders.... I would have same thoughts.
Hello brother, love your info, and I feel like the complete tutorials about fixing or repurposing old tools are wonderful, and ive only watched a couple of arduiono introduction clips, but it is cool to even get such in depth info, that I can mostly follow, and thats good for an old blue collar guy with no tech skills. Thanks and keep it up, Bill in Christmas Valley Oregon, (usa)
Me, too!
Your neighbours must love you.
That's what I was thinking when he rang the bell.
Ive spent my whole life repairing anything you could imagine you can learn so much doing things with your own hands your videos are simply amazing. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida
I've always loved going to the scrap yard ever since my dad brought me as a kid. Still love picking those piles! You never know what you will find. I usually like motorized things to tinker with! Recently I found a very nice condition steering wheel from a 70's Trans Am... now hanging on my wall!
I used to work for a Swiss company in the Philippines that uses many German made equipment like Krupp,Beutler,Demag,German-Frei,Soudronic,Karges-Hammer and many more. Your accent reminds me of German speaking Swiss nationals. Brings back a lot of memories.
The most stolen category of the vehicles in North America is the construction equipment. I am genuinely surprised to see that roller in the scrapyard.
He visto unos cuantos videos tuyos, me suscribí desde el primero y tengo que decirte que eres fantástico, entiendes de todo y es un placer ver como das una nueva oportunidad a estas increibles herramientas. Felicitaciones, se te entiende muy bien.
"Scrap-a-thon"!!!! I'm all in!
Excellent. Love all your videos. My father, who is Polish, would also love your videos as he is like-minded when wanting to fix and build things that others would throw away. Unfortunately he is 95 and in a nursing home now with dementia. During the 2nd World War he was a crane driver at Haus Arden and also worked at the Mill in Gerdauen.
"pyramid-shaped end, which drillbits used to have back in the day, as you might have seen in earlier episodes" - Wait HOW LONG has your channel been going for??????
About 60 years, I guess. DDR tools are still in their prime.
Easy Germany's finest eh? Man is give anything to be near that scrap yard. Those welders were sweet to even see. Don't blame you for passing the hand tools are way cooler anyway
Eres mi nuevo ídolo ¡¡¡¡... a una menor escala yo siempre que encuentro alguna herramienta antigua hago lo mismo que tu. Mis felicitaciones por revivir todas estas cosas que muchos no conocen .saludos de un argentino desde España
20:10 in combined switches this arrangement is usually called break-before-make or BBM the opposite arrangement is make-before-break or MBB
Your knowledge blows me away. Seriously.
Nice! I was kind of thinking when you rang the bell the first time, "Wow, this guy's ears are going to be ringing for 2 weeks...." But it seems from your comments, you anticipated that.....
Besides our alarm system, we did have one of those hooked up to the phone, where I used to work... So if you were out on the factory floor, you knew the phone was ringing.....
To illustrate the actual volume or loudness of the bell, it would be simple to build or purchase a VU meter, or just download one for your telephone. A split-screen (or just placing the meter next to the unit) would visually indicate how loud a particular device is.
I worked in a steel factory when I was young, and there was a bell similar to that which was actually the telephone ringer mounted high up on the wall. A bell was needed to be able to hear the ringing telephone over the noise of the machinery.
"I sure like that nice fellow down the street!"
*Random piercing ringing begins...
In American English we use the names Brace and Bit. As far as I know Irwin Tools is still around. They make a quality line of wood tools.
Ive Watched every one of these videos, and after every watch i am always more inspired. Brill video as always! :-D From the UK!
Great job I admire your work.....Chicago USA 🇺🇸
Just FYI, 'SCYTHE' is pronounced 'SYTHE'. The 'C' is soft or silent, and not hard like 'SKYTHE'. Great content, as always. Keep up the great vids.
@TMoD7007 😊😊😊 Is that 'Krauts' with a soft 'K'....'Srauts'? 😉😉
Herpitor Damn, you beat me to it
Also FYI: That item is a sickle, not a scythe. ;^)
@@He4vyD 🤣🤣🤣
@@TheRealWeirdoC 🤣🤣🤣 very true! In the pronunciation stakes we lost sight of the actual name of the tool!
Yes, it's a sickle (pronounced 'sikel' not 'sissel'). A scythe is a reaping/ cutting blade on the end of a long stick, like Death carries over his shoulder. 😊😊😊
That moment when you remember the TV that played your PlayStation was square
Useless fact, Flott means Greasy in Swedish. Thanks for awesome content man! 😁
and, with a lightly different spelling (flotte) but the same sound, it means "to float" in French or "water / to rain" in slang. More useless fact!
@@argumentfoireux1660 And another one is Flotta that means two things, either a large force of veichles or to grease something down.
@@grekhora Yes, we also have the "flotta/flotte" for ships and vehicles ("fleet" in English) but not the grease meaning. :-)
@@argumentfoireux1660 Never heard of "flotta ner något"? Maybe it is a Dalarna thing 😁
And it’s another word for „fast“ in German - rather cute and oldschool word tho
I cannot wait to see the alarm system put together for the shop. That will be very interesting, an old industrial bell hooked up to motion, door, and window sensors.
Ahh open-toe shoes in a scrapyard ☹️
At 1:50 clearly see more robust shoes.
@@algemeennut6683 Really? I missed that. The shoe set off alarm bells (like the one he restored here) in my head as well.
14:17 - watching again in 2021 and wanted to say that the easy way to remove wall paint is to wipe it with Methylated Spirits (Denatured Alcohol). It dissolves the paint yet doesn't harm the enamel paint behind. Works great, and an excellent way to remove overspray and paint splatters too.
I do the same thing. Find old things and refurbish them. Love it! Great show!
Excellent video, great to see some old tools get a new lease of life...👍👍👍👍
I use these videos to also learn German for stuff that I know in English, lol but isn’t in the common “Learn German” book. Thanks for the ratchet and pawl terms!
In the words of the great Red Green .. “If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.”
Thanks for all the great videos .. very interesting to watch!
Restoration videos are so huge on RUclips, you could almost make each one of these into it's own ~10 min video
You need to get a van or a pickup truck for the heavy bulky stuff. You're leaving some amazing things behind just bc of your lack of adequate transportation. Looking forward to many more episodes in this series.
pipe cutter usage, I use them all the time in my career in the hvac trade, the proper way to use them is the direction you cut on the aluminum pipe where the blade follows the roller, the stainless was much harder to cut not just because it's a harder material but you were going the incorrect direction with the blade leading the roller. Love watching you bring things back from the dead, thank you.
You should do a whole video about the scrapyard and showing everything and giving tips and tricks
Your repairs are Very Good ! Your View and way of thinking is Excellent . Great Work
More please sir👍 Your videos are very pleasing on many levels😃🙏 Stay safe. -Mike😷
Your vids are very entertaining and your knowledge is overwhelming to a 50 something year old who loves this stuff. Mechanical I understand thoroughly, electronic not so. Keep it up, you're doing a great job. Who knows, I just might retain some of it.
In the UK your "Flott" ratchet is known as a brace, with its drill bit they are most commonly know as a "brace and bit", most often used in woodworking. Great video as always !!
I usually enjoy your videos when I'm peacefully tinkering with my own projects in my kitchen workshop and OMG the sound at 15:35 scared the crap out of me!
The 14 year old in me says Dude the road roller would have been awesome!! Awesome videos sir!! Thanks!!
Hiya, great videos, thank you. We call the beautiful drill a 'Brace & Bit' & the one after with the gears missing a 'Breast Drill' as the back plate was pushed by your 'Breast Bone'... Stay safe...Steve...
Here in the US, we have a product called Simple Green. It can be used full strength to soak plastic parts and eventually strips off the paint without damaging the plastic. I use this to restore model railroad cars that have been "customized" by shoddy paint jobs.
I remember boring some holes in solid oak gate posts with my Dad using a Brace and Bit, real man's work I can tell you!
Command and conquer.
I used to have Command and Conquer Red Alert.
Many of hours went into playing that game!
I would have two systems linked up with the Hub. And have my buddy in the other room with a radio. He would yell help I'm under attack. You would have to leave enough to protect your base and send enough troops to attack the enemy, attacking him from behind. I love that game!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful videos I am from South Africa 🇿🇦
That was a nice haul . I like that flat stock shear .and the electronics & tubing cutter, and the small vice
