The earplugs to fill holes for paint is a great idea!
The "cranky" joke got me. great restoration.
I recently visited a used tool stall here in UK and bought a vintage drill identical to yours with one exception - there is a large letter A cast into the frame below the top handle (mine also has the side handle still attached). I stripped it, cleaned it up, oiled it and all works great.
Always good to see that I am not the only person whom is pedantic when doing a restoration piece. Cheers from Tasmania
That wire wheel goes really fast for a treadle-powered one. ;-)
Great 👍
Your enthusiasm is infectious, James.
Thanks. That means a lot.
Really amazing work, James!!! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
i have one i got to working that had a treaded cap for a hollow in the handle for bits the cap is gone but i got the drill going again dont remember the brand will have to check tomorrow! good restoration
Can i have it group!!awesome member,great auctions,awesome group! My no7 was bought there! Seller really understands the concept of good items and good packaging! Thank again for the great video!!
Love that group. On there every weekend.
@@WoodByWright and i just bought a no2 from a member of the m-wtca in awesome condition!
A nicely made tool, well worth restoring
I have to say that I likely never would have thought of that use for earplugs.
Very nice! You did a great job. Do more videos like this.
I recently rebuilt one of these. I painted it with textured paint to look like hammered metal. It looks really nice and works great for drilling small holes -- and I appreciate the quiet operation, too.
Nicely done! Your hand drill turned out beautifully.
Thanks for the video.
How about doing a video on making a side knob for that?
Also, can you do a video on making a main handle cap for the Millers Falls #5
That was beautiful!
Love it. Looks like it has come straight from the Factory ( except blue). And of course. Another use for my ear plugs LOL
Thanks for sharing that, well done!
Ow woodworking is done and you are into restorations? Mother!
I do restorations from time to time. It is one of the best sources for good tools.
Nice job 👍. I have two of them and use them all the time.
Great restoration. Like the blue paint.
Thank you James for the video. I have and old two speed chest drill that needed restoration and I have been afraid to tackle it. Watching you do this restoration has me enthused to get it done. Thank you for that.
Thanks. I do have a very old video restoring a two speed brest drill, but the video quality was fairly poor.
@@WoodByWright Thank you for letting me know that. I'll head over and check it out.
I know you like to avoid the devil's electrons, but that brass ferrule is just screaming for some nickel electroplating. Super-easy to do - just did it myself for my Millers Falls No. 2, and it turned out great.
When I install hardware I like the egg beaters as I feel like I have more control doing fine work
James now that egg beater drill is black and blueautif
Thank you.
pretty cool
I saw the video pop up and thought, "I've seen that listed for sale on the Can I have it group. Now it has provenance and will be out of my price range. lol
Lol sorry.
I really need to get a wire wheel setup
It does a fantastic job. Just makes a lot of noise and likes throwing little wires around the room.
Note to self: Send my eggbeater hand drill to James Wright to restore
Excellent restoration! I'm restoring a Stanley eggbeater drill myself but has no wooden screw top to hold drill bits. Would you know of a way to remake the the top so it can screw back on? I'm clueless
matching the threads is a pain. it can be done but it takes a TON of work and usually 15-20 tries unless you have both the right tools and experience.
the most common solution is to make a plug that slides in and looks good on top. then smear the threads inside with petroleum jelly then epoxy in the plug. If done well then it will unscrew with a bit of force and now you have matching threads made with the epoxy. If not done well then you just glued the plug in place.
@@WoodByWright thank u for your help sir. I appreciate it🤙
👍👍
Hey, talk about timing. I just did a restoration video of a similar drill and your popped on my subscription feed. Seems like yours is missing the lateral handle though. You should make one and bring it back to it's original form.
I didn’t notice it on the how 2 version but on this one at 1:22min in I see a Hand Tool Rescue Perfect handled screwdriver. At least that’s what it looks like
Yep. I've got a video coming up putting scales on that.
Awesome video. I love your resto vids. But how in the world do you remember where all those parts go when you get to the reassembly stage??
That's the reason for the video. always shoot video or pictures of taking things apart and that way you always know how to put a back together.
Hi Great Video. I have a similar drill but to date have been unable to undo the chuck. I have applied WD40 and 3 in One oil and also soaked in mild oxalic acid. Where should I go next?
Usually my order is penetrating oil with vibration. (Not WD-40 or lubricating oil.) If that doesn't work then next up it is heating the outside and trying to break it with that. If that doesn't work then you're into destructive methods.
Is there a good resource to identify these older hand drills? I bought a set of 3 the other day, and just curious their age/brand.
There's not any one good resource. Usually if I want to know about something in specific, I'll post it up on the unplugged woodworkers group on Facebook. There's usually someone there who is a collector of that particular style or brand.
Do you have a restoration video for a brace? I have one that I think was my grandfather's. It works well enough that I use it as is, but the spring in the chuck is missing, and I'd love to know how to fix it.
Unfortunately with brace chucks there are hundreds of different styles. and most companies had a couple different ones that they sold. I do have one old brace video but it's not very good and doesn't have much information on it. Sorry for being a lack of information here lol feel free to send me an email and pictures and I'll be glad to help you out.
This is so nice. Working on one myself right now. What brand/kind of paint do you like to use that you find to be durable?
I use a self etching primer and then you can use most anything on that.
Wow, great job James😄Are old ones easy \cheap to get? Have you done a brace drill video?
They are normally $5-25 in this condition.
I want to see you use this as am actual egg beater.
Was the original black finish paint or Japaning?
Originally it was paint.
Belle restauration ! Dommage d'avoir peint partiellement la chignole. Je trouve qu'il aurait été préférable et plus joli, à mon goût, de laisser le métal dans sa couleur naturelle après polissage, quitte à enduire d'une légère couche de gras pour retarder l'oxydation. Merci pour le partage.
Merci. Je pensais faire ça aussi.
Just for curiosity sake, why don’t you use Blue tape if everything else is blue?
Lol that's a very good question. I have both underneath my bench and for some reason that day I grabbed green
Does that main handle not unscrew? I thought most of them unscrewed to house drill bits.
Some do, but most do not. That option only came on the more expensive versions.
Does the top handle unscrew to reveal bit storage? I've seen a few like that
That was a feature on the more expensive versions of these. This one just has a solid wooden handle.
Does that handle have drill bit storage?
No. That only comes on the upgraded model.
👍
Is Sarah working on her bench? xD
Yup. Just have not had much time in the last few weeks. Next video will probably in late March or April.
🤩👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Stupid youtube surely marked the comment I made with my new account as spam. I just wanted you to know you're missing an handle.
Yes. I thought about making the side handle but decided not to as I never use it on the ones I have. I know there's a few applications where it becomes useful but they're pretty rare and far between. But it would have been fun to make something nice to put on there.
@@WoodByWright Would have loved to see your interpretation of it. Keep up the good work!
Bahahahahaha, the devil's tool
It's missing the side handle
Most of them are. A lot of users would remove them get in the way for a lot of people.
It would be awesome if someone would make a "how to change bit" video rather than add to the 100000 how to restore videos.
What do you mean. You open the chuck. You take out the bit. Then you put in the new one and close it. If you have a specific question you can send me an email and I would be glad to help. jameswright@woodbywright.com
@@WoodByWright it was a rust issue appreciate the info though bud
