They are great pistols Jim and very accurate. Cheers, Alan.

I assume you mean the 1322, one of the most successful air pistols Crosman ever made and still available today. I hope to get one of the earlier versions some day.

I can't say, I've not had the opportunity to examine the Umarex version. It does seem to be quite well made though.

Well I'm very glad that it worked for you 👍👍

I'm surprised at that. Over 10 metres it's extremely accurate and I even managed to hit a 6" target at 25 yards which isn't bad for a 48 year old pistol.

Really nice one for the collection. Good shooting Alan 👍👍 Cheers Nobby

@@nobbysworkshop Thanks Nobby. I was pleased to find one in such good condition. Cheers, Alan.

Thanks Kev. Used it a lot more since I shot the video, it's a very accurate pistol. Lots of fun 👍👍 Cheers, Alan.

Thanks Rob. Just like me 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Cheers, Alan.

Thanks Jim. I like all the German engine from that period, they have a certain charm about them. Cheers, Alan.

Hi Nobby. Yes, as it is one of Bing's smaller engines I would imagine you are right. Cheers, Alan.

I like all the German steam engines from that era, they are all very appealing.

@@RetroSteamTech agreed. I have a rusty 130/272 runs a treat it’s my favourite engine.

Thanks Kev. Yes it seems logical to me, the steam pressure is trying to push the lever away from the port face. When running on air I could apply pressure to the top of the spring and it improved the running in that direction. Cheers, Alan.

I put the titles of the music used in the description.

Thanks. Yes, getting the blade to track correctly is a bit tricky. As you have probably realised the top pulley is adjustable for tilt, you just have to play around with that until the blade stays on the pulleys.

@@RetroSteamTech thank you for the reply. I perceived and finally got it tracked. I started by positioning the blade central to all 3 wheels and watched carefully the effect of the trim wheel. It is very sensitive and only needed tiny adjustments to track. The mistake I made was making too large adjustments and hoping for the best. Thanks again for making the video set.... It's been a godsend. Cheers Alan from Southend on Sea.

@@kayjas27 Making too large adjustments was a mistake I also made, you really have to fine tune it. Glad you got it sorted, they really are great little bandsaws.

Well it's 5 years now and it gets a lot of use and is still going strong.

Thanks. It was a long time ago but I think the driver figure came from ebay.

I've done the same thing and if it was made from seamless tube I probably would. This one is rolled with a lip seam, so I will leave it alone.

Cheers, Jim. This maybe a four parter, as there is quite a lot to do. Cheers, Alan.

It's not unusual for older model steam engines to have things rattling around in the boiler. With Mamods it's fairly easy to take an end cap off and clean out the boiler. They generally use seamless tube. This one has a lap seam so I will probably leave it alone. Cheers, Alan.

Still got a way to go yet Kev but it's coming along. Cheers, Alan.

Hi Charlie. No need to apologise, I love a challenge 🙂 The hardest part will be the heater, more on that in the next video. Cheers, Alan.

Thanks. Long way to go yet though 🙂

Held the flywheel and very gently pulled the crankshaft. It was tight but not so tight it couldn't be pulled out. I will probably use a couple of drops of Loctite when I refit it.

Thanks Jim. Pardini and Morini are bit outside my price range 🤣🤣 I do have a Crosman Medalist II which is a target pistol, that can hit the spinners every time but it is single shot. More fun to use a semi-auto. Cheers, Alan.

Thanks Nobby. I did a few videos on the Remington 1911 about a year ago, made some replacement wooden grips for it. Lovely replica, although badged Remington it is actually made by a Taiwanese company called KWC. Cheers, Alan.

Thanks Kev. Trying to work out a way to make thing that does not involve any filing 🤣🤣What's behind is an old door which is protected by a about 1.5 inches of cardboard and my welding apron. Even so I do sometimes manage to hit the door 😂 Cheers, Alan.

Many years ago so have I! Since getting my power hacksaw I leave all the hard work to it 🙂 Now, there's a thought, moving duck targets, hmmm 🤔 Cheers. Alan.

I definitely agree with Rustinox 🤣🤣 Cheers, Alan.

Yes you probably could use them for both of those.

🤣🤣🤣 You have to watch closely Kev, otherwise you'll miss it 😂😂 I gave up on hacksawing after I got my Kennedy Hexacut, it loves hacksawing far more than I do 😂😂 Cheers, Alan.

You're obviously a man after my own heart Jim 👍😂 I just hate throwing stuff away, especially if it's metal! Cheers, Alan.

Thanks Rob. They are great fun too 👍🙂 Unfortunately I always have way more empty C02 cartridges than I have ideas of what to do with them 🤣 Cheers, Alan.

You could make these using just hand tools, would require a lot of hacksawing and filing but it could be done. 😅

Thanks. Yes I agree on the automatic rifle front 👍🙂

@@RetroSteamTech that will be a good video 👍

Thank you so much for this information. I had never heard of Canedy-Otto before. Looking online I managed to find a catalogue, mine would appear to be a No.16 Royal Bench Mount drill press. From what I know about Craftsman they did rebadge other manufacturers products so that could explain it. The pulleys on mine are also cast iron.

@@RetroSteamTech nice, glad to hear the pulleys are original! the motor one did not look like it because it was more of a grey color instead of the brownish red color, am sure it was polished up at some point but yeah it looks like the original after seeing your other restoration vids. I locally found 2 of these royal drill presses where I live, thats when I saw the cast iron pulleys, because these are from the 20s or early 30s, they were made very well! One I saw on line is a floor model, the seller would not replay and so I left it, he wanted $40, I found a bench model like your later but had to drive 1hr one way to get it. for $40 too! They initially asking $100. later from the mid or late 30s and onwards, all the pulleys were this zinc alloy, (pot metal type) casting, no good even though they worked fine. the cast iron pulleys on the royal are machined and balanced, they do not vibrate and spin true. either someone slapped on a craftsman badge on it or craftsman had them outsourced. did you see any other holes on the head casting where the badge is? the royal badge was a big oval badge. if there isn't then craftsman did outsource it which would be the first that I am hearing about it. like I said I am suing the pulleys for my walker turner 900 drill press which is a floor model from the 1940s. the bearings and pulleys will fit, bearings are same and so is the spindle assy. funny that the royal has a beefier casting all around including the column but the spindle assy is the same, just know that the pinion and rack teeth are of finer pitch on the royal. you cant sub with another even though the rest are same. the royals are harder to find and people dont know much about them, they have plenty of walker turners, craftsman, atlas and delta drill presses to go around! oringally the royal came with a 1/3hp motor. you tilt the motor mount up to change the belt, quick and easy.

@@ronitsingh85 No, there are no holes in the casting for the Royal badge or the side plate. Which probably means it was made for Craftsman by Canedy-Otto like you said. The motor would probably have been changed once it was imported into the UK. The Crompton Parkinson motor fitted is 1/2hp and yes, I really like the motor mount, very easy to change the speed.

@@RetroSteamTech well then it’s a genuine craftsman from factory! American old drill presses are nice! I am sure England, Swiss and German ones are nicer and higher quality. But there are always something unique about every machine that captures the heart! Glad you have one and will be using it with joy. Try a link belt, less vibration and smoother running.

Yes I was really lucky with this one Rob. Not only was it free but I was able to fix it, result 👍 Cheers, Alan.

Thanks Rob. Yes, I'm not good shooting rifles freehand, much better with pistols. The scope is 4 x 20, which is fine as the maximum distance I shoot over is 25 yards. Also, a large modern scope would look wrong on it. It's fairly small, more of a carbine so that scope suits it well. Cheers, Alan.

@@RetroSteamTech Hi Alan. I just had a look at the rebuild video and it explained a lot. Somehow I missed that. Great freebie. Cheers Rob

@@Xynudu Yes, it was very educational for me Rob. Never had a pump action air rifle apart before, they are quite complex inside. All useful stuff should I ever come across another broken one. Cheers, Alan.

Should be one maybe two more videos Jim. Turning out to require more work than I first thought. Cheers, Alan.

Thanks. German engines from this period are usually very well made. Good luck with your restoration.

Thanks Nobby. Yes, not a lot wrong with it. Cheers, Alan.
