Chain Driven Hand Drill | Restoration

Hey folks! In this video I restored an very unique 2 speed Hand Drill! I found this unique piece in a barn, so it was full of grease and dirt. After a good wash of every part, i restored every part step by step: I started with sandblasting the main body, doing some metal works like filing and sanding, after that i put on some body filler and primer, before i painted it in RAL 9005 Deep Black. After that i went for the gears. While sandblasting them, the original color showed up: it was red. So i cleaned and polished the metal and repainted them with red Hammerite paint. Some smaller parts were cold blued, the shafts got just cleaned because of their fitment. Last step was making a new crank and new handles. I found an old crank in my shop and modified it to fit on my unique Chain Driven Hand Drill. The drill chuck at the end was bought, too much effort to make a new one ;-)

Now this beauty works wonderful again.

Looks like the drill that I used about 65 years ago to "accidentally" drill holes in my parents' kitchen floor. Really good work; I enjoy your videos.

My grandfather had a similar chain-driven hand drill. He had gotten it from a fellow who had worked at the boiler repair shops of a railroad until they retired all the steam locomotives. My grandfather used it to drill mortises in beams for barns and the similar.

I wonder how many of these types of channels are just Capt. Slow? All the pristine tools, all in proper cases, all still in proper shape, sorted by size...

My grandpa had one of the old drills like that. I used to play around with it.

Love those big two-speed hand drills but that one is by far the coolest Ive seen even before you made it a stunning looking tool. Well done.

Outstanding restoration. Almost unrecognisable. Stunning job. Love your attention to detail. Thanks for sharing.

The paint job for the main body looks amazing

Finally someone who submerges parts in blueing agent instead of brushing it on

[daddyfrost]

Hooray!
Mister P is on fire!
Thank you so much, mein Freund!

And the gloss level you got in the paint! Great preparation - and taught me a top technique for clear coat! Thank you

I love Hammerite paint. Love the hammered effect. Lol. Nice job. 👍👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺

A beautiful (in its own, unique, industrial way) tool, given a whole new lease of life as a piece of functioning art. Brilliant.

Thanks for dimming the video when you weld! I really appreciate that watching your videos at night, soo bright on the eyes when people dont haha 😃

[paulotts]

Of all the restorers I watch, you so far are the only one that actually lets us see the welding with a filtered lens.

Magnificent renovation of that awesome hand drill! Love how you made that custom crank, turned out great, thanks for sharing! ✌🏻

I have been around for 70+ years, many of which have been connected with engineering of one sort or another. But I have NEVER seen a chain driven 'gut buster' as we called them. So extra thanks for this informative restoration, which ended with an excellent result.
