    Im 14 years old, but even though im still very young and have no experience in repairing stuff, i love to help my granddad qith repairing old motorbkes. And when i came around this channel i was instantly addicted. There’s just something magical about restoring old things that most people would just throw away because “they’re rusty”. Keep up the good work

    4/5 years ago I bought a simpler drill but in similar condition for £2 (I'm in England) at an auction. Discovered it was made in USA in 1905and when New was $15. Cleaned it up same as you, and painted it dark green with letters picked out in red. I'm as proud of my project as you are of yours.

    I am an old codger, becoming an Octogenarian in the middle of next month. I have watched your videos on Restoration. You are really an Artisan. Sadly, people like you are disappearing fast. The age of Repairs is gone. We live in a 'Throw Away' society making rich people even richer and poor even poorer. Restoration of this Drilling Machine is to make me go back to my childhood, when hand drills were common and it used to take quite a while to drill a hole in a Masonry Wall. We used matchsticks and wood shavings for Rawlplugs ..Thanks for loading this video. The restored drill is a treasure ...keep it up...

      all due respect, I think you'd be happy to know there's a sizeable movement in younger generations to build things, repair them. it's why videos like this are so popular, at least in part. "the maker movement" is a term often applied.
      as an example, I work in video game development and grew up with my face plastered to a screen. but at home, I practice woodworking and metalworking and learn machining and so on, just because it's interesting. I know our restorer here was careful with his welding repair, for example, because too much heat could cause the cast iron to expand and crack.
      not everyone likes the society we have. it's just difficult, and slow, to change.

      A split pin is used as a retainer on a clevis, or to keep a castellated nut from backing out. That split pin should be a taper pin, the pin removed and subsequently broke appears to have been a field fix when the original pin went missing during a repair. Or at least that's my guess

    Exceptional. You should consider investing in a Sand Blaster and Pressure washer.
    Normally after weld prep, Cast Iron is preheated to 600°F and then welded with 309 SS rod in short steps then covered with a heat proof blanket and allowed to cool slowly. Your repair came out looking very good, just don't bolt it down too tightly.

    Once, in Year 2000, we wanted to weld a piano frame. Also cast iron. We also bought a suitable welding rod. It broke again in addition to welding. Failed. A flat spring from a truck is then placed underneath. Then we riveted. This thickened the frame. Because of this, we had to cut it out of wood so we could paste it in. It's still good. This is resistant to the 15 tonne pressure caused by the drawn strings. Maybe we needed a yellow cat for a successful weld. :D :D :D :D It's good to watch your videos. Greetings from Slovakia.

    Hi again from England...
    Original colour would be been a Matt black oil base...
    The split pin you used...remove it and make a proper replacement...
    Apart from that very nice...
    These types of drills turn up on ebay...and they're usually unnamed....

    For welding cast iron preheat it to around 400 fahrenheit to avoid cracking

    • @GGigabiteM
      @GGigabiteM 5 лет назад +26

      It would have been better to channel the parts and braze them back together. It would have been a much stronger repair since the brazed metal will flow into all of the cracks, rather than a surface weld where the extreme heat makes the cast iron hard and brittle, more likely to break again.
      I never like seeing people weld cast iron, as I've seen many parts ruined by failed welds that break later and are even more difficult to fix because you have to grind the now very hard weld and underlying hardened cast iron off before you can repair it again, if even possible.

  • @scroungasworkshop4663
    @scroungasworkshop4663 5 лет назад +22

    That was a massive restoration. I think the automatic down feed is ingenious and I have never see such a complex hand drill before. It must have cost a year’s pay when new. Even though I generally go for machinery grey I like the green. Is the wheel on top a flywheel or for more leverage if required and I thought cast iron didn’t like being welded with out pre heating but you said you were trying to avoid to much heat by stitch welding. Is it better not to pre heat? Looking forward to part 2. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺

  • @taylorsharp5928
    @taylorsharp5928 5 лет назад +9

    From Lincoln Electric;
    Welding Techniques without Preheat
    The size of the casting, or other circumstances, may require that the repair be made without preheat. When this is the case, the part needs to be kept cool, but not cold.
    Raising the casting temperature to 100 degrees F is helpful. If the part is on an engine, it may be possible to run it for a few minutes to obtain this temperature. Never heat the casting so hot that you cannot place your bare hand on it.
    Make short, approximately 1” long welds. Peening after welding is important with this technique. Allow the weld and the casting to cool. Do not accelerate the rate of cooling with water or compressed air. It may be possible to weld in another area of the casting while the previous weld cools. All craters should be filled. Whenever possible, the beads should be deposited in the same direction, and it is preferred that the ends of parallel beads not line up with each other.

    • @taylorsharp5928
      @taylorsharp5928 5 лет назад

      I know very little, but I know that welding cast iron is a bitch. The problem is heat stress, the filler shrinks and the casting doesn't, so without peening the weld, you are left with lots of stresses in the metal.

  • @BrookNBones
    @BrookNBones 4 года назад +13

    Don't take this the wrong way, but the weld penetration in those cracks with cast iron that thick that wasn't preheated isn't that great and they'll reappear with use.
