Awesome!!

Really first class work!!!

Beautiful video, something about restoring old machinery gives me peace inside.

Outstanding video presentation! Very good refurb job. I enjoyed the whole thing. Outstanding job all around!

Hair spray. The best for keeping handles on.

Mike You are extremely talented and a tad bit funny!! 😂

I really don't appreciate you making all these videos! I am now getting absolutely nothing done at work now that i'm sitting here all day at my computer watching these. ;)🙂

Excelent!!!😊

Liked simply for the correct use of "kanob"

Hi Mike, great video. Inspired me restore some old machines and now I'm deep in machine parts. I'm trying to wire a VFD on a hammond glider trim-o-saw and was wondering if you ever made a video installing a vfd. Thank you for the great videos!

Nice Video! Well done!

The problem with the squareness is your insert. Take the insert out and check with a large square. You may have gotten a bad table, but for most woodworkers, The problem you describe or as described is about 1/256 of an inch and also, if the piece is against the fence and the table at the fence, the problem would be, well, solved or rescued further. Not sure how that problem truly works out on a cut for even the finest furniture. Or, maybe I didn’t understand the math you were describing.

For goodness sakes this drill press can't be compared to a home unit because this was an industrial piece of equipment when it was built. In todays money that thing would be thousands and no home shop could afford it. It's like comparing apples and oranges. That machine was designed for production or hard use so if you want to compare the quality you would get for that same drill press would be significantly better. Just the modern bearing tech alone is eons better.

Love your build. Thanks for sharing!!!

I doubt you'll see this. However, I'm curious to know how your market liked these laterns. Did they sale well or did they flop? Either way. I truly appreciate you sharing these builds.

Absolutely Beautiful!!!!

Right at the nine minute mark. Grabs the cutoff RIGHT NEXT to the spinning blade. YIKES. I cringed.

Biscuits and Glue.....band name idea

Do you have an update to this?

Terminator 2 is indeed a fantastic movie. Oh nice piece too 😊

The OG mike F lol The good ole days huh? Did you ever think you would be where your at today or ?

WOULD LOVE TO,GET,ONE AND RESTORE IT,THESES THINGS OUT LASTED THEIR OWNERS,LOL

Up-chuckable perhaps, but definitely not vomitus.

insanely enough, biscuits are more accurate. unless you have one of those after market things that screws to the Fastool. We had a conversation about this a while back, but I have found myself not even reaching for the Fastool because of it, which reminds me I need to order some of those plates and start reaching for it more lol . Boy the shop apprentice is growing like a .... human. lol

This the best design 1972 and still perfect I wish to have this machine back in Colombia just perfect new ones don’t think so and don’t even make in America anymore thanks to should this 🙏

No push stick at the bandsaw 😬, Almost lost the end of my thumb.

Mike. I’ve pondered getting the lamello classic for case goods construction, like you show here. The top 21 is pretty pricy and close to the zeta p2. Are you still using the lamello as a first choice for case side construction? Would you have chosen the classic for price or zeta p2 for versatility if you were buying a lamello now? I’m hard pressed to spend the money for a biscuit jointer but it beats the domino for speed, and the less necessity for dust collection. I’ve see Darrell Peart use it in some of his case construction and now see you using it. Is it still a major player in your tool kit for case and drawer construction?

Great video. Thanks!

Dissect Chuck? Man, that sounds too much like Dexter to me!!

I just watched 15 minutes of chuck rebuilding and I don't own a drill press. What a time to be alive!

Hi mate. I'm in the UK. We use mm...annoyingly and I am keen to try this, but need the spec and I'll buy and try before I hit a japanese traditional bench 😅

I'm about to fill two garage door holes with some carriage doors. Mine are 10' wide by 12' tall. How are you liking yours now a few years later? Anything you'd do differently?

Hi! I’m following your video to overhaul my unissued. I’m having trouble trying to remove the tilt and raise/lower shafts. You don’t say too much in the video.How did you do it? Would you help me?

Well I am late to watching this video but I have to say, It's My Life, good song choice but I like the No Doubt cover better. Really a much more interesting sound scape.

Great work, Mike. I enjoy the craftsmanship

thanks

What did you do to clean the spring thingymajig on the opposite side of the handle (the part that fits in the tuna can with the tape measure)? I couldn’t imagine taking that spooled up spring out to clean, but also want to make sure it’s super clean on mine

I don't have these kind of tools. This is worthless to me.

I have been thinking about a top like the one you built - you validated my design approach. And my cheapness, because I could just go to Lowes (not Home Depot) and buy butcher block. Love the magnetic sheet idea. Thank you for another great video.

Fantastic. The humor is perfect. I learned some neat things about machining. How the hell do you learn how to disassemble these things properly without destroying them? I’m pretty sure I’d hammer them into uselessness.

I try to buy high quality used tools over new tools 95 percent of the time

Wish more tools and general items were built to last. Really like what you are doing, thank you.

I have the same drill press and am about to do the same as you.........Thanks for the lesson.

Huge appreciation for every video you put out Mike, your content is by far my favorite on the platform; incredible skill mixed with great humor and music. Always look forward to the next video, cheers brother!

What a treat to watch you dissect these chucks. I suppose I could watch you do anything.

Get a lathe and a mill will help you a lot with machinery rebuilds thank me later

Heres a quesition for you Mike. I replaced the cheap keyed chuck on my drill press with a keyless version off Amazon, though admittedly, I balked at the price of a Jacobson and went with something less expensive and a brand I couldn't pronounce. Now, occasionally when drilling hardwood with a large Forsner, or steel with a bit larger than 3/8, the chuck binds so tightly on the bit that it requires an irritating process (utilizing a pair of channel locks) to release. Would a Jacobson keyless free me from this issue or is this a problem all keyless chucks suffer from?

In Scotland Haggis is not eaten with mushy peas but "Neeps and Tatties" (Mashed turnip and potato) preferably with "a Wee Dram" of Malt whisky which tastes horrible. If you don't like the taste "Irn Bru" can be substituted which tastes nearly as bad but is non alcoholic. Mushy peas should be eaten with a warm Pork Pie or Fish and Chips. Dessert should be a Mars Bar covered in thick batter and deep fried. Yum yum

Nice video. Building one now. Did you end up selling them or do you have some great lamps?

I was always told “ It’s a poor workman that blames his tools”…
