You really worked hard on that one! It looks beautiful and the whole restoration is simply outstanding. Thanks for sharing this and I learned quite a lot about disassembling this type of drill.
I have seen where Stanley used to secure their bubble vials in their levels with plaster of Paris. I enjoy your restorations. I always pickup a new tip or trick, and another RUclipsr to subscribe to. Keep up the good work! 💪
Great job as always! That is a really well built and now really well restored tool. It is ready for the next hundred years. When you were gonna try to pull the shaft from the gear, I thought you were going to mount the drill frame in the vise and get out the slide hammer you showed in a previous video. It may have worked better than the prying that caused the damage. Your ability to fix the damage is inspiring me to get a small lathe. Maybe you could do a short video just giving us a tour of your lathe and maybe a little lathe history.
Great restoration. I am glad you go above and beyond on some of the restorations. It showes what could happen but also how the drill works. Great information. 👍🤔
How fun it would be to go to a meetup. Perhaps, one day. Beautiful job on the restoration. I actually appreciate it when mistakes are made because your ability to overcome such problems is where your skills really shine.
Great job as always. I think color adds so much to the restoration. Your ability to manufacture small parts and dress up little boo-boos by machining is fascinating to me. Thank you for the fun. Again - very nice!
Great job cleaning it up and restoring it. I always have a few words to say when those ball bearings go rolling on the floor. Glad to see you found them all.
A stunning job! Thanks for the tips on the brass screws. Going to an Amish community next week in OH where before I have gotten some great older tools - maybe a breast drill is waiting for me there! Another incredible vid John 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That locking mechanism was also used for backing out an auger that was too tight to "hand drill" back out... I have used one without this feature and had several times I couldn't back out the bit. I had to remove the drill and use vice-grips! Great feature. Good job!
Scoutcrafter, you are a man of infinite patience as about a quarter of the way through I would have consigned it to the 'too difficult' pile. When you finished it looked absolutely stunning!. Kind Regards from over the pond.
Beautiful restoration especially, that candy apple red. I remember using one of those in high school shop class in the mid 70's and it was old, then. Never knew about the 2 speed feature. I have a little Dunlap. I call it the original cordless drill. LOL.
Great job as always! I did a Millers Falls two speed a few weeks ago and had no idea about the ball bearings until the second I pulled it apart. They quickly bounced away to the far, darkest, corners of the shop! 😁
This is a dad-gum (technical term) Master Class. Even the goofs are a show of what can be done. Love it, Scout! Also every time something is 'chowdered', I howl....
That is a lovely looking drill John .and now it's finished stunning . I used my breast drill and brace up to getting and trusting my lxt range Makita . I've had all makes of battery drills but couldn't rely on them so kept going back to the old faithful . That two speed will put a hole in anything without thinking about it .fantastic job really enjoyed thanks . Have fun at the show I know I would . I'd love to look around the tables and all the goodies . Take care god bless
Wow what a really easy straight forward restoration ha ha not wow crazy you would think these drills were very simple you have taught us a very important lesson amazing video John the brace came up incredible thanks so much 🙏
A coupla things! First...a GREAT Restoration , as always! What is FANTASTIC is that if something gets messed up, you have the equipment and the knowhow to make it look perfect again! Second....Enjoy Jacktown!! A Coupla good ways to get there....going up 33 is likely the quickest...take it to 512....there are other more scenic ways but slower. Have fun!
Great video ...just picked one up last year ...now I know how to take it all apart if need be....would have liked to see the reassembly even though it’s the reverse of disassembly....dam nice job..🤙
What a beauty! I had to edit out the profanity last time i did a hand drill because ball bearings went flying everywhere 🤣🤣. I love these longer format videos. Cheers
I've bought one of these drills four years for 10 $ ,but I've returned it back again since it didn't work on drywall...because of the low speed i think ...😄 Nice work John ! Patience is a Great Virtue ...👍
I had a cousin (by marriage), who was a professional golfer. He had been ranked number 4 in the World and was a fountain of great advice on the game. I once asked him on a day when my very best shots were matching his :Jeff, my best shots are matching yours, what gives?! He replied: "The difference in a pro and a good amateur John, is not in their best shots, it's what they pull out of their bag after they make a mistake!" Great video and great recovery after your self admitted mistake!
Oh man, that came out beautifully John! I love the painting and the wood. By the way, I wonder if you have any tips on cleaning out the chuck of modern drills like the one you used on the screw head that you used? Mine feels gritty and I wonder if it’s something that I can clean out by flushing it with grease or something to force out any contaminants?
You did a great job on that breast drill. I have one made by Millers Falls. I use it when I don't have a drop cord long enough to reach way out in the back yard for a electric drill. When you go to Jacktown, look up 805ROADKING and his gang. One of the things they do is modify old cast iron Briggs and Stratton engines like welding four together to make a four cylinder inline Briggs engine. Some day I hope to visit the Jacktown show.
Great job on the drill. I have little hand dill that I have started on but it is not a breast drill. I haven't found a maker's mark on yet. Wish I could be there. Take a lot of video. Everyone have fun. Thanks
S.C. a very nice restoration as always.. keep an eye open for a jewelry store going out of business.. The glass show cases would be very nice to store and show off all your best restorations.. God Bless...
Another sublime restoration. If I had the time and about 2000 bucks I'd be flying over right now from the UK to say hello! I hope you get some footage to show on your channel of the meet up.
Great restoration ScoutCrafter!! Great tips on using the wood and sandpaper to grip the chuck. You'll have to tell me how you polished those small ball bearings without sending them across the room. Lol! Glad you mentioned Jacktown, I was wondering what day and time to meet up. See you there!!
Wow that quick change mechanism is ingenious, no screws and it’s so quick. Beautiful restoration as usual Scout. Are you sure you’re not part Aussie as down here you hear the word bugger all the time when something goes wrong or buggered when something is broken. Toyota was even using Bugger in one of there commercials but you don’t often hear it in other countries except the UK. You’re a bit of a wizz on that little lathe too the way you use both screws together to follow curves. I noticed you did the same thing when you made the new pads for the C clamps. Very clever. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺
I did enjoy this restoration, and BTW Great Job. I was interested because I have one I will do soon in the future. It was my wife's fathers and she wants a shadow box with some of his tools in it. It is a single gear and should be a fairly easy one, it has a plastic handle so I hope to apply some of the teaknique you used in a recent video. Wish me luck,.
Sometimes it is a real puzzle how things are put together. Even when you have figured it out, grime and rust can have the parts almost welded together. And then while the parts can pushed together when cleaned and oiled without too much trouble, there may be no good way to push them part. If you just damage the parts a little bit, you've been pretty successful and it's about the best you can hope for. Cheers from NC/USA
Great job! Your time and effort really show, I am really happy with the tips and tricks too! Jacktown sounds great, I hope you will make some photo's for next week video's so I can sort of join you guys. Thanks a lot Scout!!! (You really sound like a night owl, working on projects at 2.30 a.m.)
Sweeet Jesus I buggered that up . LOL. Done that several times my self but don’t have the ability to emphasize the Sweeeet as good as you did. I had to order tiny little ball bearings from amazon to replace the ones that defied the laws of physics and scattered themselves evenly into all the remote corners of the shop. Two years later still finding tiny little bearings when I sweep.
Hi scout, this one tested you a little bit, sometimes we know we should have left it alone,lol, but your end result is great as allways. Have you tried using lead jaws in the vice to grip things without damage? .I have used them here on stuff that realy needed a good hold without damage, I make mine from folded up lead roof flashing. Anyway now you know the Drill, ha!ha!.Best wishes Stuart.
What do you use on the gear teeth to keep them from rusting? How do you apply paint to the gear without getting it onto the gear teeth? This is a museum quality restoration! It looks fabulous!
What a great restoration! You are so smart and divulge so much information to your viewers! Thanks so much!
Wow! You put a lot of work into that one! It came out great! I love those two speed drills!
You always go the extra mile to make the tools look fantastic. Great job 🛠🛠🛠🛠🛠
You really worked hard on that one! It looks beautiful and the whole restoration is simply outstanding. Thanks for sharing this and I learned quite a lot about disassembling this type of drill.

Love the red! That drill looks better today than it did when it was new!
That's a beautiful restoration there Scoutcrafter.
Love the finish line 👌👍
Beautiful drill!!! Thanks for sharing Scout!
I think John S. Fray would be very happy to shake your hand. Always outstanding content. Thank you.
What a beautiful drill. One of your top restorations. It didn't look that complicated at first, but it was. You sure come up with interesting tools.
Hi Robert! You are so right, a simple restoration that was anything but simple! LOL
How fun it would be to go to a meetup. Perhaps, one day.
Beautiful job on the restoration. I actually appreciate it when mistakes are made because your ability to overcome such problems is where your skills really shine.
Unbelievable job of cleaning and polishing and restoration. You never cease to amaze me with your talents as a machinist.
Another great restoration thanks for posting
Great job as always. I think color adds so much to the restoration. Your ability to manufacture small parts and dress up little boo-boos by machining is fascinating to me. Thank you for the fun.
Again - very nice!
Great job cleaning it up and restoring it. I always have a few words to say when those ball bearings go rolling on the floor. Glad to see you found them all.
I was so lucky! When they go they really go! LOL
That’s an ingenious design. Beautiful restoration! 🧰🥽🇺🇸
A stunning job! Thanks for the tips on the brass screws. Going to an Amish community next week in OH where before I have gotten some great older tools - maybe a breast drill is waiting for me there! Another incredible vid John 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Amazing drill resto. I'm going to have to find one now! Thanks for sharing
I like your tips along the way. It came out really nice.
A beautiful restoration of on of my favorite drills. Thanks as always for a great video and tips.
That locking mechanism was also used for backing out an auger that was too tight to "hand drill" back out... I have used one without this feature and had several times I couldn't back out the bit. I had to remove the drill and use vice-grips! Great feature.
Good job!
Another great restoration. Got a little stressful dealing with those ball bearings. Disaster averted. Good work. Love your vid’s.
I was so lucky as all were accounted for! They were odd sizes so if I lost one I was in trouble! LOL
Great job,very cool drill. Nice lathe work on cleaning up buggered areas. Really like the paint work. Thanks for video.
I always love all the information and back ground to the tool or company you give as you restore. I learn something new every video thanks scout :D
Nice 👍🏻 That's an interesting mechanism for obtaining the two-speeds... They really did high quality design and manufacture back then.
awesome restoration. Thanks for sharing. I used to have a similar kind of drill of a different make long long time ago!
THANK YOU...for sharing. Fantastic drill, really came out nice.
Scoutcrafter, you are a man of infinite patience as about a quarter of the way through I would have consigned it to the 'too difficult' pile. When you finished it looked absolutely stunning!. Kind Regards from over the pond.
Great video great piece of gear. I will have to keep my eye out for one.
Another beautiful restoration. Great work Scout.
Fantastic job as usual 👍😎 🤠
Great stuff Scout. Another excellent refurb.
Beautiful restoration especially, that candy apple red. I remember using one of those in high school shop class in the mid 70's and it was old, then. Never knew about the 2 speed feature. I have a little Dunlap. I call it the original cordless drill. LOL.
Wow ! Beautiful job !
Nice tear down (a bit tricky) and clean up. Beautiful restoration.
You know so many things. That sand paper trick with the channel locks? Just wow. Ingenious
Jason! It really works well! =D Thanks!
I totally agree with Lord Venger. He hit it right on the head. I have a breast drill hat I will restore in the near future. Thanks for the info.
Great job as always! I did a Millers Falls two speed a few weeks ago and had no idea about the ball bearings until the second I pulled it apart. They quickly bounced away to the far, darkest, corners of the shop! 😁
LOL- They are always an unusual size too! =D
This is a dad-gum (technical term) Master Class. Even the goofs are a show of what can be done. Love it, Scout! Also every time something is 'chowdered', I howl....
Great show
Always enjoy
Thanks
I like the way you problem solve. Nice restoration and thanks again.
That is a lovely looking drill John .and now it's finished stunning . I used my breast drill and brace up to getting and trusting my lxt range Makita . I've had all makes of battery drills but couldn't rely on them so kept going back to the old faithful .

...nice resto, great vid..
Hey Scout: Great job on this drill, I didn't think you would take it all the way apart,If I tried to do the same Something would not come apart !!!!
Wow what a really easy straight forward restoration ha ha not wow crazy you would think these drills were very simple you have taught us a very important lesson amazing video John the brace came up incredible thanks so much 🙏
What a great drill, a lot of work but sure looks pretty. Thanks for the video!
Looks stunning now John!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
A coupla things! First...a GREAT Restoration , as always! What is FANTASTIC is that if something gets messed up, you have the equipment and the knowhow to make it look perfect again!

Bill, I hope you will be there!!!!!!!
@@ScoutCrafter when I lived in Allentown, I woulda been there! Too far a drive from Florida! LOL!
I just picked up a fray’s Spofford brace. Can’t wait to clean it up and use it.
Another restoration that only Scout Crafter can do. Amazing, thanks!👍
another Masterpiece well-done Scout I can just imagine the headache you had but well worth it at the end great job God bless you family and friends..👍
Great video ...just picked one up last year ...now I know how to take it all apart if need be....would have liked to see the reassembly even though it’s the reverse of disassembly....dam nice job..🤙
Great episode John !
Beautiful John, absolutely first rate!👍🏻👍🏻
NICE job! Now Unc will be dragging one out! Thanks CS! Happy weekend coming up! And we all know you'll NOT be coming back empty handed!
Wonderful resto there, John ! Even the Bloopers came out fine ! Be Well, Friend ! ATB T God Bless
What a beauty! I had to edit out the profanity last time i did a hand drill because ball bearings went flying everywhere 🤣🤣. I love these longer format videos. Cheers
I restored a Millers Falls breast drill last year. Fun restoration, ended up Hunter green and gloss black.
I did two in those colors, very classy!!!! =)
I've bought one of these drills four years for 10 $ ,but I've returned it back again since it didn't work on drywall...because of the low speed i think ...😄 Nice work John ! Patience is a Great Virtue ...👍
The walnut handles are Nice...I Like how the drill was made for 2 speeds
Beautiful restoration.
I had a cousin (by marriage), who was a professional golfer. He had been ranked number 4 in the World and was a fountain of great advice on the game.

Mine feels gritty and I wonder if it’s something that I can clean out by flushing it with grease or something to force out any contaminants?
Hi Joe! WD40 is great for flushing out contaminants! It need a good bath if it to really loosen the debris and float it out. =)
You did a great job on that breast drill. I have one made by Millers Falls. I use it when I don't have a drop cord long enough to reach way out in the back yard for a electric drill.

Hey ScoutCrafter great video and restoration.
Vaughn
Mr. Pete convinced me to buy an optivisor too. Did I see one of our restored wrenches on Engles coach shop wall? If so Good on you!
Wow! David! You have great eyes! Yes, it was hanging there! =D Thanks!!!!!
Hi Scout Crafter 👋👋👋very very good restoration drill 👍👍👍and video cool 🤝🤝🤝
Great restoration ScoutCrafter!! Great tips on using the wood and sandpaper to grip the chuck. You'll have to tell me how you polished those small ball bearings without sending them across the room. Lol!
Glad you mentioned Jacktown, I was wondering what day and time to meet up. See you there!!
Great job.. Love the Crimson color..
Hi Jerry- The great thing about Candy colors is the more or less you apply you can change the color! Thanks
Wow that quick change mechanism is ingenious, no screws and it’s so quick. Beautiful restoration as usual Scout.

Awesome buddy. I got a few of them drills in need of help.
Sweeet Jesus I buggered that up . LOL. Done that several times my self but don’t have the ability to emphasize the Sweeeet as good as you did. I had to order tiny little ball bearings from amazon to replace the ones that defied the laws of physics and scattered themselves evenly into all the remote corners of the shop. Two years later still finding tiny little bearings when I sweep.
LOL- I need to order an assortment of Ball bearings so I can stay ahead of the game! LOL
Reel nice and and like the old saying goes if not broke don't fix but glad you went over the top on it
A tough nut. Time to relax after a hard job. Thanks
good job its beautiful.
great video keep up the good work brother
Hi scout, this one tested you a little bit, sometimes we know we should have left it alone,lol, but your end result is great as allways.

Hi Stuart! Gripping knurling without damage is always a challenge! Thanks for the tip! 😃👍
Stuart Lockwood That’s a great idea! I just use thick leather, but that doesn’t always work.
Great job, and useful tips
What do you use on the gear teeth to keep them from rusting?
How do you apply paint to the gear without getting it onto the gear teeth?
This is a museum quality restoration! It looks fabulous!
That is an amazing drill AND restoration. Btw, if something more than 3 or 4 parts, it is complicated to me 😱.
Richard Owen Lol- Me too!!! 😂
Very good job !
New subscriber. This speaks to my ocd :) nice job
What a solid drill. It could last forever. - Kathie
Beautiful job! Back in the day, my dad would say, the guy was a shoemaker if he damaged parts! Lol
Dominic Minischetti - I would be happy to have shoemaker skills!!! 😃👍
ScoutCrafter You and me both! 😂
Those OptiVisors come in various magnifications. The DA4 is 2X. I have the DA5, which is 2.5X.
Hi Alan! They really work well! I use it over my glasses! 😃👍
