- Do you ever wonder WHERE all the Old Rusty Tools & Machines being restored on RUclips come from? For some, they find them on the Bay, or FB Marketplace, CL, or from friends, but that's always AFTER someone else has already DISCOVERED them!!
I'll take you on an adventure where we'll discover these old tools & machines right where they've been living for a LONG time! If you love machines like these and you enjoy adventures, then I hope you enjoy this new series here at Salvage Workshop!
In this episode, we'll dig out a couple OLD Camel Back Drill Presses, and load up an old Caterpillar Towmotor Forklift I picked up for the shop! We'll do a little pickin, and then go through everything I brought back to Salvage Workshop!
The big items we rescued are:
20" Champion Blower & Forge Camel Back Drill Press
20" W.F. & J. Barnes Co Camel Back Drill Press
Caterpillar Towmotor Forklift
In this series "Rescuing Old Iron" here at Salvage Workshop, I'll show you where I discover MANY amazing old machines that have been there for 10, 30, or even 100 years! Everything you see me haul back to the workshop has been purchased from the owners, and now has a new lease on life! We'll talk about the history of the places I take you to and have a little fun PICKIN in search of burred treasures!
I am always on the hunt for amazing OLD iron Machines! Finding these gems, & meeting the incredible people along the way that have had them is truly a PASSION of mine!
Join me as I Rescue OLD Iron here in the Midwestern United States!
I'd love to know your thoughts on this adventure!

I rescued 2 forgotten ANVILS and a flat belt pedestal grinder! I hope you enjoy!
Oh IDK if I'm smart enough to be on discovery! What makes you think they'd be interested in me?
I appreciate that you said that you wished that there was a more respectful way of going through the items, so many people these days could not give a rats ass about those items and look at them as just another pile of junk. Those people don't realise what those items meant to the deceased person and yes it does need to be treated with respect. Thank you young man for saving the items that you brought home, they are priceless items from a time in our history when people actually took pride in making things with their hands.
100% correct. Well said!
In theory, I agree with what you said in that, to the right person, there can be found diamonds in a pile of what otherwise looks like garbage. When it comes to talking about what something "meant" to someone else, it's easy to tell what meant something to someone and what didn't. If the item sits, unprotected, and un-maintained for, and/or looks like it had the shit kicked out of it (and I'm not talking about long term wear and tear - I'm talking abuse), then the previous owner didn't give a shit about it for a long, long time - if ever. People who "care" about the item don't leave it in a huge pile of shit for years, mixed up with usable items and trash.
@@georgianbents Unless they couldnt take care of it because sickness or old age, or some other health issue, or money, or a sick family member took their time in-essence from them etc... Don't presume to know things about situations that you weren't part of... Benefit of the doubt and Respect...
Finally someone who dabbles in old equipment, tools and stuff as much as I do. As a contractor always enjoyed it when the Army threw away pallets of snapon tools.
You do what you do and you make a good video with no hidden or side agendas. The music is never loud or obnoxious. You work like a dog and you're pretty damned smart for your age. I'm frickin' impressed. Thanks for the treasure hunt. I liked every video I've seen. Don't have any money but I'd pay to help you if I could.
I just loved the old excuse "we plan on restoring that" after you found and dug it out. If it wasn't for you it probably would still be out there today and maybe 10 yrs from now.
I am in my 40s and live in So Cal and I always have lived in the same area. When I started out "junk" collecting I wasn't older then 14 and was on a mini bike hitting up people with old stuff, 1940s cars and travel trailers and finned fiberglass boats (I love the post war era everything and always have but that doesn't matter)... All of these things were left for dead and that at the time really had no monetary value or at least very little. Anyways 9 times out of 10, the people would not part with them or they would want an astronomical figure... A few years would pass (I was driving age by this point) and I would inquire about them again they still wouldn't part with them meanwhile the car or trailer would be even more beat up from neglect. When I was in my 30s I would go by and the car (or what ever else I have inquired about) would still be there and now the owners were getting pretty old where they clearly weren't going to get to the project but they still wouldn't part with it... I know its. Theirs to do whatever they want with vut still hate seeing stuff rot).
As an example about a year ago maybe a bit longer a "trolley top" National brand travel trailer that I have been persistent on trying to get the owner to part with since I was in my early 20s was gone from its lean to/hole it eas residing in, then I noticed in the back yard there was a giant roll off dumpster with skid steer marks everywhere, I decided to stop and hoped to get a lead where it may have went (knowing what probably happened already) and one of the owners kids (who was at least 30 years older then myself) came to the door and told me that their mother had passed away a few months ago shortly after their dad died and they were cleaning up the house to get it on the market... My suspicion was correct the trailer was smashed into splinters and in the dumpster, the son said he had no idea that anyone ever asked about it and he didn't think anyone would want it. I was horrified by his explanation as its now history lost.
Only if I would have asked about it agian just a few days sooner but that's the way it goes sometimes.
My point of my long story is this happens a lot. I am not kidding when I say I love old junk and for a while I was even making cash restoring it (hince how I found this channel). All you can do is ask and offer a few bucks for it and if they aren't interested leave them your number. It rarely pays off but at least you tried, for the last year or so since this trailer I have wrote my name and number down and said something along the lines (and very politely) "well heres my number, name (and I would write what it was I am interested in), stick my name on the side of your refrigerator and if you change your mind you will know how to get ahold of me because I really would love to fully restore that ______.
If I have had a pretty good conversation with them I love to show them pictures of what I have restored so that way they know that the thing they are sentimental with will go to a good home.
So far I have done this 6 times and I got a call back on a rancid little canned ham style travel trailer the other day thats about 100 miles away and they want me to come and get it the first weekend in February so I think my new plan maybe working better then the drive by with the biannual stop. Lol
The Atomic Reverend Alexander good for you, that gives Them the most respect and gives you the most chance of ending up with it whatever it is
@@AtomicReverend Out of curiosity I googled "trolley top trailer" just to see what one of them looks like. I live in the Texas panhandle area and in my travels I occasionally I drive by what resembles one but I think that it might be a motorhome version of that style. If you're interested I can snap a photo for you the next time I see it.
This has been very interesting especially seeing all the belt driven equipment that is still around, The late Dr Fred Dibnah MBE from Bolton in England built a back yard workshop driven by steam to power all manner of plant and equipment. He hardly had anything electrical. You can watch his life story here on You tube.
Your video inspiration for all restoration people's who loves their workshops 📊📊📌📍🗄🔨🔨🔥🔥🛠🛠🔩🔩🔩🔧🔧📏📐💖💖💖💖 💯 ✔
I love all old tool restoration. Sprinkle in deck rebuilds or whatever and maybe 2 times a month build something. Who doesn't love a good easter egg hunt.
I truly appreciate your willingness to stick with me no matter what the content is here at Salvage Workshop!
what a great score! Most people do not realize the value, they just think its junk. Old hardened steel, all the old tools, things are not made like that anymore. What a joy it is to watch you go through that stuff. If you go back to that place, @14:18 you picked up a box of pistons. I bore out the inside of the piston head and use them for cup holders in all my trucks. most guys and some girls love them
Been hauling old stuff home since I was ten years old.. Once hauled a harley davidson motor home in my little red wagon.. I am 67 now and have a shop full of wartime machinery.. Mike in Louisiana
I love watching your show; My father was a tool and die maker before advancing to engineer and he taught me to use a lot of the tools you have found - brings back memories!! I also recognize a lot of the tools and parts you have uncovered and I respect your efforts to clean, re-lube and restore the old tools - Also 60 years ago - my father used to call it the great throw away age - since it seemed that no-one was fixing or repairing but just discarding and buying new. Thanks & Keep up the good efforts.
Fun video! Thanks for having us along.
Great video. I wish I could go back in time 40 years and start doing what you are doing now. I am too old to do it now.
The folding pneumatic tire is probably from a trailer tongue. You can restore old, dull files to useable by soaking them in vinegar for a few days. Scrub them with a brass brush when you take them out, and then oil them. I am too old now, but did exactly what you do for most of my life. Nice to see that kind of passion and reverence for old machinery. I had a good friend who said “Castings were artwork back in the day”. Keep it up and thanks for the videos. WF & John Barnes was probably the largest maker of pedal powered machine tools.
Incredible what you can find. I never understand how people can just literally throw stuff, some of it worth decent money, into sheds like that until it builds up to three feet off the floor! Crazy. I'm just glad that you rescued some of it and will make good use of it.
I love old machines. I worked for a railroad for 47 years and I was always around old machines. I had the privilege of using a lot of them. Things used to be made to last centuries. It's great to see them rescued! My shop at work had that very same bead roller. I used it a lot! I have a cat paw nail puller really similar to that one. Great pick! That hedge trimmer would go great with my old drill powered circular saw. Thanks for bringing us along! Enjoyed the trip.
That is AWESOME John! I'm sure you had the pleasure of using some amazing machines! My goal is to find as many of them as I can afford and make room for and then put them BACK to work! I'm glad you enjoyed the adventure! Many more to come!
One man's junk is another man's treasure.
My wife, bless her, says its all junk! Not so my sweet one, it's treasure, gold and diamonds!!! It needs bringing back to life with caressing and work, which is enjoyment, but!!!! WHEN IT STARTS AND RUNS!!!!, music to any man's ears,
You had a great day picking. Those drill presses are awsome. You are lucky to have found them.
Wish I had old stuff like that in my area , great that you can rescue all those great things.
Keep up the great work I enjoy your show I enjoy watching you save old rusty iron thank you Bob
On the nail puller, the slide hammer is to drive the claws in around the nail head then the foot was used as a pivot point to lever the nail out with the long handle.
I've been using it wrong my WHOLE life!!
Best tool made to pull large nails and nails that the head broke off
Yep, Blaine has it right. Slide hammer is used to power the "teeth" into the wood, "capture" the nail, then pry it out w the curled handle. Loved watching the whole video. You've got some BEASTLY "arn". I'm sure you've been there, but for the newbies: vintagemachinery.org/ is THE site for rescuing/restoring info. Keep the vids coming...
Yeah, I use mine a lot when I salvage timber for frames.
Believe it or not, they still sell them new, for around $70 IIRC!
I find one or two a year for maybe a dollar, pick them up as the cheaper cast iron ones tend to break off near the claw, so I pull out another one from the hoard...
If only you had a box of heavy duty trash bags . You could have picked up and bagged all the garbage you went through .the owner would have realy appreciated your thoughtfulness .what a treasure hunt ,great find!!!
I see treasure's ever where. Good luck finding what you want to bring back to life.
I lick to mess around with old tools and enjoyed watching you going thru your . haul
Thanks for showing these tools the respect they deserve. They remind me of the men and women who built America into the great nation we are. I cannot bear to see tools, gears, etc. rusting away. It seems as if a piece of our history is being lost. Thanks for all you do.
I enjoy watching you rescue old iron, wish I could join you, but at least I can watch you do it , stay safe and continue doing it..
I enjoy watching the old stacks of stuff people have in there shops. The fun of digging through all the stuff you got to see what you did get.
Me too Tom! Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for the feedback!
Salvage Workshop I will go to an old farm auction and when the bidding slows I will take the last 12 pop flats full of files and tools for total 3$ to 5$. Then you go home and sort them all out
Please keep em coming as I enjoy all of them
Best Regards
Fred Thomas in Skokie IL.
You found some great finds from the past!……..: look forward to the restoration videos on some of them…………………..👀😏😎👍👋🍻✌️🇨🇦
We share almost identical taste in old stuff. I just brought home a 24" x 120" converted belt drive lathe yesterday. My children joke that if I have something too shiny and new, I'll set it out in the woods until it has "seasoned properly" before I can enjoy it. If there's a nice clean painted machine tool next to a grimy battered patina lightly rusty machine, there's no contest. I love the one that needs the love. Camelback drills are better than almost anything new that you can buy reasonably. I have a 24" Sibley. One difference is that I get a little depressed when rummaging through a pile like that. I want to bring in a dumpster and clean the place down to the dirt. I recognize my old tool collecting as an irritant to my wife (bonus), and hope that my grandchildren will keep them in use after I'm gone. Thanks for sharing your finds.
Man u running round like a thief in the night lmbo I'm enjoying this ty for the adventure
As a beginner, I mostly focus on restoring simple had tools. Axes, hammers, mauls, etc so I was a little envious of the pile of handles. Good video.
Love watching all your shop videos and your the best and hardest pack rat - keep it rolling. thanks
A rainy day here so I am watching some reruns ..lol. That square end tool seen at 37:16 (aprox) is used for the old wood cooking stoves. The sq. end fits on the shaft of your stove so as you turn it, it grinds up the burnt wood in the stove to send it into the ash box. The other end fits on the top plate to take off the round plates so you can load up larger pieces of wood. A little bit of nostalgia for you. Take care.
wow! cool old machinery!... thanks 4 video. be kind...
I like all that you do but espetialy watching old tool and machine repair.A what- is- it segmen tcould be fun and educational
I REALLY LOVE YOUR PROGRAMS I`M A CLOSIT HORDER MYSELF, WHEN I WAS MARRIED GOING BACK A FEW YEARS I HAD MY OWN WORKSHOP NOT AS BIG AS YOUR`S THOUGH, BY THE WAY I`M 70 YEARS OLD IN 7 DAYS. NOW LIVE ON MY OWN AND ENJOY WATCHING SAVAGE WORKSOP, BY THE WAY I`M DIVORCED WIDOWER .NOW LIVING IN AN APPARTMENT WITH NO ROOM TO DO ALL THAT STUFF. AND OF COURSE BEING ON FURLOUGH I GET BORED. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
I hear you...I live alone in an apartment without my shop...going nuts without anything to repair or invent !! I have been catching mice that want to make my old camper their home. Whoopee shit. The pandemic stopped me from travelling in the Southern USA. Stuck in Canada. 67 years in a few weeks eh.
It's nice to see where you are getting most of your stuff... I hope to more of it and your projects and more of your creativity.. God bless you
Ya it comes from all kinds of places, I plan to show more of those as I come across them, but have no fear, more restorations and build projects are already underway! Thanks for watching & commenting! Lots more to come!
Thanks for rescueing these old tools and machines so some guy doesn't take them to the scrap yard and sell them for his beer money. I just resently got a craftsman bandsaw from the early 1930's and it's almost restored. It's very satisfying to bring something that old back to life. Keep it up.
Absolutely you have way too much fun 🤩
Don't stop doing what you doing I enjoyed every bit of it
Absolutely fascinating, more please
Cool.There are tools of old school,very good tools.With the hands that you have.....👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you my friend!
Enjoyable video!
Love the concept of reparing/restoring rather than buying new stuff.
That is a process that gives again and again.
About the nail puller: You hammer the jaw down around the head of the nail with the slider, then you pull the nail like with a crow bar. The jaw bites hard on the nail and holds on to the nail without letting go if you do it right.
You mean i've been using it wrong ALL THESE YEARS!!! lol... Seriously though, I've been using it wrong!!
Well dude, you did a good job of saving rusty iron and tools. I was pushed #3 in the series by the algorithm. I've been subscribed to you, but I don't think that I have ever left a comment. In the front of #3 you say to watch the first one! It looks like you're getting first pick of an estate before an auctioneer goes into pick the carcass for a few sheckles. I have spent time working on farms and shops that look like that, but I have had too many work and vehicle accidents usually with stupid drivers I was riding with so to walk on those piles is beyond my scope as I have a hardware kit in one of my bones! A buddy of mine was "Picked" by actor's who claim to do what you really do. He sold some Civil War items for a museum, but they didn't have a Freightliner van only. More like a household movers big rig and I like them HUGE sleepers, but everyone has to "Fingerprint" the load and like I said I got a wear in my bearings! You're doing a good job! Do you custom pick for people like your fans? My longtime friend and I want to get into some metal working before A.I. makes us useless.
That nail puller is called a “cockatoo” here in Aus, not used the way you showed, but the slide hammer is used to acquire the nail in the wood and then the rocker is used to roll the nail out. Use the slide hammer as an extension lever when removing a big nail. It will work even if the nail has lost the head.
That's the way they're used up here in Canada too!
There are stubby versions too. They don't have the sliding part. Then you need to use a hammer to knock the jaws into the wood, flip the hammer over to hook onto a "nail head" built into the tool to get the appropiate leverage. Considering how much smaller and lighter those are, they can do a good job. But if I were to take a whole patio deck apart, I'd sure appreciate having the full-sized version!
Your right mate, it does minimal damage to the wood and works VERY WELL. If you try it the way it was described you won’t acquire the nail and may well break your own jaw.
Hell yeah!! I love episodes like this. You hauled in a treasure trove of items. You had the big ticket items - but then you also had tons of the smaller stuff. I dig those taps and dies. You had some old Model T wrenches. The calipers and micrometers were pure money. Clean them up a bit and you have a lot of money's worth in measuring devices. Really like this episode. Thanks.
amazing video brother
i also have a habit of collecting old stuffs , tools
they are very useful
i love to reuse them
Love watching these old beasts getting pull from their rotting hole to be restored and get back to the job they are intended for! Now I'm going to need one of those drill presses lol!
Good stuff man love ole junk
Me too Keith!! Me too!
Do you not understand that other people have things to do as well !!! Why get so much stuff in one go ?? I'll never stop watching now !!! Ha ha ha ... Great picking love it,Phil From Ireland ..
I like the variety of the channel. A bit of tooling, a bit of welding, and a splash of deck-building. I definitely want to see a restoration on the forklift!
Ya I can be a bit all over the place, but hopefully it's at lease a bit interesting to watch! Have to fear, there will be a video on the forklift, not sure if it will be a FULL restoration, but as of right now it doesn't run, so I will correct that for sure! I'll make sure its worth watching! As always thanks for watching & commenting! Lots more to come!
It is sad but some day someone will be picking throughout your pile.
Hopefully they will have the same respect and intentions as you.....
God Bless and Respect from a fellow lover of All things Machinery, it's History, and it's Beauty.
These types of videos are cool. Kept my attention for the full hour, and thats rare 👍🏼
Awesome! It's ALWAYS a risk making videos that long because many people dont want to watch something so long! I am glad you enjoyed the whole video! Thank you for the feedback Andrew, it helps a lot!
Thank you for reading the comments, and replying personally. It shows your time investment and your personal interest. As long as you ask for feedback, im always going to leave it
@@MrRewdtv You are most welcome! Without you watching & commenting the channel wouldn't be ANYWHERE, and I'll always ask for feedback, so thank you for that!
You kept my attention the whole hour.
That is GREAT to know!! I wasn't sure on making a video this long!
Mesmerizing
I have that exact book, "Audels wiring diagrams for light and power" It belonged to my grandfather, I am looking at it right now on the shelf of my desk.
Love old tools .
Thanks for saving what you can .
The old Camelback drills are one of my favorites .
I love this type of video very much ... put up more.
You have to wonder how much money and effort went into the hoarding of those tools and parts! Fun video. I'd love to see more picking videos!
I wonder those things all the time, but then I quickly forget it, and get to diggin!! I'm glad you enjoyed it. the feedback is much appreciated!
That is a nail puller indeed. To operate hold the tool upright as you did with the claws on each side of the imbedded nail. Than slam the handle down to set the claws below the nail head. Than simply pull on the handle to pull the nail out. WOW !! A long process if you have a lot of nails to pull. Keep up the videos.
Lucky guy you got a FAMCO from Kenosha, Wisconsin, my hometown. They are still there and casting presses and more!
I love going through junk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It blows your mind what people discard. I'm like you. When I fine something, I think to my self what I can do with it. For those who wonder why I love experienced merchendice. And, are baffeled as to what I'm going to do with the stuff. I always tell them I'll I know when I need it. Keep up the good work. Ronald
Really enjoy your picking video and look forward to seeing more, thank you.
Much appreciated Pablo! Thank you for the feedback!
Stuck on your gloves, it's called bird-ox. At least that's what we called it as kids. We had enough stuck on our clothes every summer playing in the bush. 🤗
Love the machines ur into.Im into most guys are into same stuff like you.Real kewl stuff.
At 41:03 the tool you called a drift is a rivet setter, I have a couple of them I use in my leather work. 51:26 looks like a handle for a wood stove, my grandma still used one till I was in my teens. I enjoy seeing where the projects come from.
Super cool stuff!!
I love seeing all the treasures you found! I love hearing the clinks and clanks of each tool and things
The 'drift' thing at 41:05 looks to me like a rivet set. It should probably have a partner...
22:42 is a spokeshave. I have done some brazing using carbon arc on a stick welding machine. It's a very gentle kind of flame, very satisfying and therapeutic!
Btw, this vid kept me up until 2am, so you're doing something that I like!
....... pickers mother load, nice haul. You are a man after my own heart. Now all you have to do is restore it all....lol
What can I say Bruce, I LOVE finding tools & machines this way! I'm glad you enjoyed coming along! No way it will all get "restored," but much of it will at least get put BACK to work! Some you WILL see full restores here on the channel, so stay tuned for that!
Absolutely love watching you go out treasure hunting and then see what you found. I see so many of the same old tools laying around in my shed that my dad had collected and I inherited. Just haven’t had the heart to junk them. I’ve recently started restoring old hand tools and understand the satisfaction of bringing an old rusty piece of “junk” back to life. Keep up the good work and I’ll be looking forward to more videos.
This is my first time seeing this type of salvaging old machinery. Love it
Cool pickings and thanks for sharing! Love to see how you fit these old gems into your shop as you restore them. Best to you and yours this holiday!
Thank you my friend! I'm not sure HOW I'll be incorporating them into the shop yet, but I'll be sure to make a video in the future showing how I laid out these and a few other new pieces of equipment here at Salvage Workshop!
Treasures, treasures and more...Treasures! Thanks for the traet!!!
That place is a goldmine of history
Definitely a LOT of old tools and machines there, that's for sure!
Re: the book, Audel's Wiring Diagrams for light and power... it caught my eye when it was still lying in the junkyard... also saw one on eBay.
Sorry for all the Comments... It's a kindred spirit thing.
NEVER apologize for the comments, i appreciate all of them! Even though I may not always have time to respond to every comment, I do read all of them! Thanks for the support, I truly appreciate it!
Hell Yeah.....Digging it out is more fun than fixing it. I always drop what I am doing to go out and rescue more stuff. Even if I dont want it I know friends that do. Go for it mate.
Seems like the best time of year to pick in this kind of environment is in the winter months when the slitherins are dormant.
Lost treasures!
Rusty cars/trucks
Quality tools for cheap
Things you never knew you needed
Are what life's all about.
That's real picking at its finest.
Great video, I really enjoyed watching you do the exploring during the pick, keep them coming, thank you for bringing us along.
Very interesting things that you found. Drill bit heads different sizes. Mic it reminded me of being in medal shop.
Hi the sliding part of the nail puller is to hammer the jaws in to the wood either side of the nail, once they have been hammered down far enough you then extend how you said and it works like a crow bar or nail bar. Very useful tool.
Enjoyed it very much thank you
Dude! You are like a kid in a candy store. I like older machines too, especially old farm implements.
Well, you asked for feedback and all I can say is that I really enjoyed that! I was in a similar place in a village in England not so long ago and the guy would hardly part with anything. It was so frustrating as it'll sit there for another 20 years!
I like pickin. It's part of the fun of having old shop equipment
great fun. great value
Enjoyed this video very much
75+ country boy here likes that music at the start.
That Honda engine is perfect for running a 2 piston air compressor. I fabricated an air compressor with that exact engine. That orange gears are Lovejoy couplers if you got the spiders the rubber centers this are gold
Wished I'd paid more attention, but that panel saw you showed earlier in the video is a VERY useful tool in a wood shop that deals with sheet goods like plywood, paneling etc. They tend to sell NEW for between $900-2800, depending on maker and completeness they go for around $200-400. Pretty much any 7 inch circular saw can be fitted to them.
At 36:00, that's similar to a WARRINGTON hammer, used for tin work and light forging.
36:46, that's a crowfoot wrench, used with a breaker bar to remove/tighten REALLY big retaining nuts.
37:25, yep, that's a mortising attachment...some tool user will want that for their old machine.
Sometimes used in an actual mortising machine, set up for JUST mortising wood stock.
40:50, that 'drift' is actually a setting tool for copper rivets and burrs.
You use the hole in it to stamp the rivet firmly into the leather pieces being joined, you slip a copper burr (washer) on, and then use the domed recess in the end to hammer down the protruding rivet and secure the joint.
They go for $10 and up NEW depending on their size.
About 44:40, that's a wooden spokeshave, some collector will want that.
51:12 or so, that a handle for lifting the lids/covers off of wood stoves. For when you want to put the pot or pan directly over the flames, instead of indirect heat through the cast iron top.
54:11, those square-drive sockets could be used on the end of a speeder wrench, for drilling holes, particularly if the thing to be drilled was kind of hard to reach, like a stud on an engine.
just great!!
I've watched this video at least 4 times. This is exactly the thing I love doing. The only negative thing I can say is I struggle with envy. Because I'm a long-haul trucker, my time and opportunities for adventures like this is extremely limited.
41:07 The “drift” looked like a hand rivet setter. In your box of gears (potential art pieces) one of the ring gears....smooth in the middle, gears on the outside, is a small engine starter motor ring gear.
You are correct! Its a Pexto No2 rivet set!!! Thanks for letting me know! Now I won't misuse it! Thanks for watching & commenting! Lots more to come!
The nail puller, you use the slide hammer to drive the jaws down into the wood and grab the nail, then lever backwards against that foot to pull the nail out.
my grandpa used to have these storage cabinets full of old screws and stuff, labelled and properly organized. never used these, though. a nice hobby, I figure.
Interesting! I organize mine so I can find it for future projects! If you enjoyed this video, I'll bet you'll enjoy some of my others! Thanks for watching & supporting the channel! Lots more to come!
I owened the slide hammer nail puller for many years, it works well when you when you thump it to grip the nail head and pivot on the lever to pull
The pickin' was fun! Thanks for the video!
Matt,
Great picking! The PTO/tractor drive for the flat belt has real potential; especially with your collection. That was fun. At first I thought the place wasn’t going to sell and you were showing us a video of great finds they didn’t want to part with, but you came away with a nice haul.
Thank you Jason! Ya it was fun! I can't wait to put everything back to work! The flatbelt pulley drive DEFINITELY has potential for some pretty cool videos here on the channel! I just need to find an affordable tractor! As always, thanks for watching & commenting Jason! Lots more to come!
