I almost skipped this video, as I've seen so many old hand drill restos lately, but I'm glad I didn't because it is a very beautiful old piece of tool, and you did a great job! 👍👍👍
I found this exact drill at a Salvation Army today for $5. Came home to do research and found this. Thanks so much. Only downside is that it's missing the top rest piece.
I can understand your hesitation to restore this drill, it was so damned pretty untouched. But you certainly did it justice and you definitely made the right choice, it looks absolutely gorgeous. Another wonderful restoration and great video, thank you.
On dit que les choses ne sont originales qu'une fois, mais elles sont vraiment jolies quand une personne comme vous prend le temps de leur redonner leur beauté d'origine. Très bien fait.
Excellent restoration! I was concerned when you stripped off the original lettering then more than relieved when you replaced it. Almost too pretty to use but anyone would be proud to use that old drill. Great work!
I decided to watch from your first video onward to gauge how you improve. The previous videos were fairly unimpressive compared to this one, and if this quality continues then this video marks a major turning point in content quality from my perspective! Great job and I hope you see success in the future! Will continue to watch! No spoilers!
I just restored the exactly same Godell-Pratt hand drill today! However from looking at your video I have some parts missing from mine, it might be a pain in the ass to find them..
Hello ! I'm happy, because by chance, I bought second had the exact same model you are restoring here ! But I'm afraid I'll have to buy a new chuck : the three little springs between the jaw were missing ... I'll also have to make a new butt-plate, it won't be like the original but I think I'll have some fun doing it !
congratulations my friend! You inspire me a lot and your videos show a lot of quality. I'm subscribed and I'm always waiting for new videos. a big hug and keep it up.
I just purchased almost exactly this same drill. Only difference is the breast plate on mine does not have the set screw on the other side. I was searching to see who has restored this and found this vid. Very nice job. Really appreciate you showing me how to switch the gearing with that little button. Had no clue. Any chance I can get the decal from you?
Nice drill and good job. I don't know what it is but, I prefer the pre-restored with it's aged look that's just my preference. I collect braces I just clean them remove rust and then use them.
nice restoration. i have one like this but it's missing that brass sleeve and inside of it it's missing the two elongated u shape keys, which makes it inoperative. i will try to make the two keys but do you think the outer brass sleeve is necessary?
Thank you ! I think the brass sleeve role is to keep the grease inside and the dirt outside, it will work without it but it may need some cleaning more often :)
@@forgottentoolsrestoration1786 If I can find a small piece of brass tubing, I will probably make this too. Wish me luck, today I'm going to try making the two elongated u shape keys. Ugh...:)
Great restoration, one small thing.....what is a 1910 Breast drill?? Is that the actual name of this hand drill or a simple spelling error? Not trying to be an ass, legitimate question.
Thank you ! "Breast drill" is one way to designate this type of drill, because you have to rest the backplate on the chest while drilling, 1910s is the manufacture period :)
It's a crank drill, subtype breast drill. The plate was to lean your weight into the action and get deeper bite with the drill, compared to modern drillls which ccan afford the time to make shallow cuts by running at 700-1000 rpm. One one these would be doind well to hit 200rpm
Tip: metals who are stripped with paint stripper but have to much details and small corners ect, could be boiled clean in a water/ dishwasher solution to get perfectly clean and degreased for painting. I remeber this from back in the 80,s at a bicycle factory when the basic bare metal frame whas coming out of the joint-hard-soldering side of the factory , then going in to the prep side (degreasing metal) before bonding and then spray painting the bike frame.
@@forgottentoolsrestoration1786 I put little bits in my ultrasonic cleaner in a glass jar full of whatever liquid i need for the job, and immerse the jar in plain water in the ultrasonic bath. That way you don't waste a tub of cleaner solution each time and can change the type of cleaner fluid easily. It heats it up nicely too.
A big thanks for helping me restore my one to fall working..
I had to make one very small broken part inside..
Thanks again...
I can appreciate the time and effort involved in this restoration. You have great attention to detail and your editing looks good. Well done.

i didn’t agree the fact you were restoring this amazing old drill, i agree now, great work, it turned out fantastic 👍

That came out really well. I’m not into these drills but I did enjoy this restoration and I like the clever speed change.
Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺

Excellent work,this drill comes from a time when you got off work after a 12-14 hour shift you be aching all over.

11:40 My favorite scene. This mezod is wonderful. You also shared a nice video. Thank you! !
I have a Goodell-Pratt and I have been wondering how in the world to get the main gear off. Now I see... Thanks.
I really love the decal well done 👍👍

I subscribed as soon as I saw you put the new label on. I would like to see how you got/made the label. Great job.
Super job!
Very good restoration 👍👍👍. The drill to use when the baby is sleeping. LOL
I didn´t notice that it is a 2-speed, I thougt the speed selector were an oil cap...great device!
The decals are nice!
Thx for the vid!
:-D

I've got a goodell-pratt toolsmith bench grinder here in the UK and they're nicely made little items...🇬🇧👍
Looks like someone's watched my mechanics. Learn from the best, I say.
"Imitating is the sincerest form of flattering"
very nice job
Beautiful job 👍🏻👍🏻
Outstanding work
Very nice job.
Rigolo ça!J'ai exactement la même,et la même marque bien sûr!
I just purchased almost exactly this same drill. Only difference is the breast plate on mine does not have the set screw on the other side.

Thank you ! Send me an e-mail on my channel e-mail address, in the channel description, I'll send you back the decal :)
Fantastic!
Great job bro, looks awesome.
Just beautiful!
Hi FST👋👋👋very good restoration drill 👍👍👍and video cool 🤝🤝🤝
Good job, Thank you for your information.
Nice refurbishing project. If you had access to a lathe, you could have turned the cone section on the front and reknurled it. Thumbs Up!

Where did you get that decal????????
Hi good job
i have a similar drill but the chuck is like dead set i cant remove it T-T
Try heat and quick cooling, or leave it in rust remover for a while :)

@@forgottentoolsrestoration1786 Steal your family crock pot slow cooker to boil your parts in.
Obviously this drill was not made in China
How did you make that decal?
Hello, I remade the decal from a picture using "gimp", then printed it on water decal paper with a standard printer
@@forgottentoolsrestoration1786 Thanks. I'll have to try that myself soon.
