Restoring A Beam Drill

In this video I restore an old beam drill that was generously exchanged with A viewer for two milking stools.

You truly are an inspiration to me . Ive recently taken an interest in wood working and I've been making toys for my son. Got a small toy mallet for him and I've got another in production for my best friends son as well . Thank you for showcasing this amazing trade especially the hand tools.

My grandpa was a carpenter of 9 generations, I didn't think about how I watched him my whole life and how many things I picked up from watching, your videos are starting to awaken something in me. I guess im going to end up like mum buying too many anitque tools from Op shops and garage sales to restore haha.
I gotta go raid his tool shed.

Congratulations on what is pretty much the dream sponsor, just need Stanley and some producer of linseed oil on board then you'll have the holy triumvirate!

That's a grand looking tool as well, seems to chew through the wood no bother and would I be right in thinking you can angle it on those radiused metal brackets as well, or are they just there for rigidity? 🤔

It's commendable that you take the time and effort to bring old tools back to life.

You are the definition of "good honest work"

I do so enjoy your videos! From your choice of tools to your calming voice!!

Eoin, have you ever tried boiling rusty metal parts in water? I know it sounds like it would rust more, but it actually turns the red rust into the black oxide, magnetite. It's the same process that is used to blue guns. Then you coat the part in oil, and you have beautiful "blue" metal parts that are also more protected against further rusting. It cleans parts up beautifully with much less elbow grease

would have loved to see a close up of the drill digging into the wood. what a cool tool

[dozzer]

your voice is so carming and its so lovely to watch some of your vids after a stressful day so thank you for the amazing content

I'll definitely be buying some WD 40 just cause they sponsored this awesome creator!

[johnmoyer]

When I was young i used one I can't remember what we working on, i love hand tools but it's slot easier with power, i love to cut wood with a good sharp handsaw

[seanbaker]

Very cool video. Congrats on your sponsorship! Great partner to have. Keep up the awesome work.

Awesome that you got a sponsorship with them, good relations

So the beam drill doesn't drive the bit into the wood, but relies on the screw action of the bit, just as a brace and auger bit? Is the size of the bit dependent on the specific beam drill - can you swap out your 1 1/2" bit with a 2" bit on the same drill? You did a nice restoration job - it certainly looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

You finally got the sponsorship!! Congrats

Never thought i would be sitting here watching a carpenter but here i am

[robertlarson]

Glad to hear you got that WD40 sponsorship! Might have to go pick up an extra can…

Soak your rusty parts in white distilled vinegar for a few days and it will be rust free. After removing, rinse the parts with baking soda and distilled water to kill the acidity and prevent from flash rusting. Soak with WD-40 afterwards.
