I would have been extremely tempted to put that disc on the wall as a work of art, and put a replacement in the tool. Beautiful pattern in the wood.

Hi, I was wondering. Are we going to be able to get the yuuugee wrench once the quarantine is over? And have you ever tried Yorkshire Grit on the wood? Nick Zammetti swears by it.

David Coats

Lol. Why does every antique tool have paint dots on it?

handtoolrescue

I have not! The 9in wrenches will be up for sale to Patrons first in hopefully 2-3 months.

Yoel Bittner

And I forgot to ask about the screwdrivers

handtoolrescue

I am still aiming to have the screwdrivers for sale sometime later in the year.

Jeremy Abel

Wait is this the same Starrett that makes measurement gubbins now?!

Mr Fixall

Starrett - the machinist's Snap-on. Very interesting piece of equipment!

What a treat, a narrated video from Hand Tool Rescue in these times of isolation and boredom. The humour here was of an order that got me told off for rowdy behaviour by my wife when the rag got wrapped around the drill press.

You said you are going to keep this one. Does this mean you are not keeping every tool you restore? How do you even price a thing that took you days of work to restore? I would not want to let go of a tool that I had put all this work in.

handtoolrescue

I do not keep all of them as some are done as commissions and some I sell. Definitely hard to land on a price.

For removing the pins, consider drilling slightly undersized and tapping it, then pulling it out with a bolt in the hole. I've had good luck doing that in the past.

Soooo the paint on the inside... Attempt to limit corrosion? Also, Im guessing the "check underpants" light was flashing after the rag mishap... A can of flux (white flux, zinc chloride, usually works with brass/bronze) will help with brazing. Brazing is a deep dark rabbit hole of sadness and failure in unexpected ways, I have been forced into it on many occasions and adding everything you can to the fight helps lessen the eventual soul crushing defeat... ("I did everything I could, It just wasn't gonna work..." you say into the mirror every other night....) Brazing forced me into branches of metallurgy and chemistry deemed unholy by most welders... Tis a dark and lonely path, filled with nerds and people who have no idea what they are asking for.

Starrett is in Athol, Mass. Huh. Here's the sum total of my knowledge of Athol. Back In The Day, WBCN was the big FM rock radio station in Boston, one of the original AOR stations in the late 6os/early 70s, like CHOM in Montreal and KSHE in Saint Louis. In the mid/late 80s, they were still going strong and they were producing a lot of stuff themselves, unlike radio today, and one of them was a (fake) promo for a new show "coming this fall" that starred Peter Falk, of Columbo fame, touring and paying tribute to the wonderful town of Athol, Mass. It was entitled "Falk In Athol". Don't think it got picked up. Don't know why.

Jason Crawford

Makes me wonder if Starrett has a historian or archivist that would have information on this... or maybe they would be interested in what you have??!

ChuckD

There's an attorney on the phone... Says he's representing the drill press?

Felix

This ain't food grade stainless.

Tedd ILL

Wow, beautiful work.

Daniel

Athol is my home town, so I love seeing Starrett tools when I run into them.

Rewatching your videos while I have the flu is a great way to pass the time.
