Someone paid an equivalent of $2000 for this in 1914 [Restoration]
This machine has the most odd combination of functions I've ever come across. It was made in 1914 by the F. Bissell Company of Toledo, Ohio, U.S.A. and combines a vacuum, grinder, buffer, blower, and pulley. The tool is so old that this would have been one of the first introductions to an electric motor that a household would have had.
These are quite rare and I had a very difficult internal struggle with removing the unique decal and having it recreated. The original decal contained only a partial image of the "Bissell Frog" and with no high quality images of the full decal online, I was stuck until I came across an old F. Bissell Company catalogue with a large image of a frog on the front that matched. A fantastic graphic artist was able to use it to digitally recreate the decal in its entirety. After that, I sent the file to an awesome print shop that uses modern and old methods to reprint the decal on waterslide paper, just like the original. I think it's the best decal I've ever had remade.
You may be thinking this was made by the modern day Bissell vacuum company, but this is actually a completely different Bissell, so much so that they changed the company name to National Super Suction Company, and had to specifically state that they weren't related to the other Bissell vacuum company in there advertisements at the time.
The rest of the restoration showed how well built this tool was for it's age and I am absolutely loving the original colour. I made a vacuum "bag" out of an old pillow case and I don't think what I truly needed exists anymore, but maybe I will come across something more authentic one day. This tool was sold for $67.50 USD in 1914, which is ~$2000 USD today. You can see the original design patent here: patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/ca/61/97/2d97780b0b7262/USD43837.pdf
I'd like to thank @CRCAutoUS for sponsoring this video. I've switched to a food-grade penetrating oil from them as a more safe alternative, and it as worked just as well as the usual penetrating oils I've used.

Why Did They Stop Making These? [Restoration]
Переглядів 1,5 млнМісяць тому
This 1930s Leland Electric Co. throttle variable speed and direction electric motor is one of the coolest tools I have restored. The restoration was fairly straight forward, but the mechanics of how this works were the most interesting. I give a quick explanation near the end of the video on how I believe this works, but if you specifically know, please leave a comment below. The tag was in the...
1929 Gun Wrench [Patent Remake]
Переглядів 268 тис.2 місяці тому
Possibly the best example of something everyone wants but no one needs. I came across this patent for a pistol grip wrench while randomly scrolling through an antique tool group where someone made a post saying they found a production model of this wrench made by the Rex Engineering Co.. Immediately intrigued, I messaged the person who had it and asked if they wanted to sell it, to which they n...
Rare Bow Chainsaw [Restoration]
Переглядів 703 тис.4 місяці тому
This restoration is on the first gasoline-powered one-man bow chainsaw ever produced. It was made by Precision Part Ltd. of Montreal, Canada in the 1940s. It took me 5 years to find 3 separate dilapidated chainsaw motors, 2 bow bars, 1 straight bar, and 2 chains just to source all the parts to restore one function chainsaw. Unfortunately, the most complete motor happened to also be completely s...
Gizmortiser [Restoration]

This restoration is on a 1912 door lock mortising machine called the Champion Mortiser by J. Leukart Manufacturing Co. of Columbus, Ohio, USA. The original patent can be seen here: patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/c3/17/6c/8079b652ead2f8/US1037939.pdf Mortising machines are among some of my favourite tools to restore as they all seem to have high levels of gizmosity. The amount of mechanical...
Round Knife Cutter [Restoration]
Переглядів 483 тис.6 місяців тому
This restoration is on a model "M" round knife cloth cutter made by The Wolf Machine Company of Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. The company had been in business since 1888 and still makes these types of products today. My best estimate places this machine being made in the early 1950s. This tool made for a very interesting restoration as I came across several parts and problems I've never seen before. M...

I’m at a bit of a loss to know how you could put a V-belt on that pulley and get tension with the unit on wheels. Are you sure the pulley isn’t a later addition?
It’s a doohickey
Amazing!!
You could even use that motor in a small elevator with a worm gear! :)
Sharpens a serrated knife
That thing is so neat. I would buy it first, then buy something else for it to spin lol
You just made knife guys cringe.
it's a 1920 turbo
This is the best restoration channel in YT!!
That's a turbocharger.
Im not pleased how you handle these precious artifacts, i strongly recommend that a more delicate process should be handled by professionals.
Lol
Emco star... wood lathe, bandsaw, circularsawtable, figure saw, sanding belt, grinding stone... and lots more. Not as old as this though.
Can you imagine you would have the right rectangular carbon brushes instead of the round crab ?
You don't use Is penetrating oil very often. I always have trouble with carburetors and governors. You seem to be able to find gaskets, I wonder from where.
An honest piece of equipment.
oo i like that tool 🤨🤨
Is it DC with a large potentioneter, to raise, lower the DC voltage, not sure if potentiometers work with DC
How doest it work.
If an elephant lost a leg….
You should vacuum after the knife... Now there's metal shavings
Suprised Kirby never had a grinder attachment.
I guess to many stupid people that got hurt or just an excellent motor
Considering vacuums of this caliber that ONLY vacuum go for $2000+ today, I'd say this combo appliance is a steal! Also, I love how you don't tell us what the thing is--I LOVE watching the video and trying to figure it out as you go along! Edit: OMG I JUST REALISED THIS THING IS A THNEED. The Bissell Thneed. XD
What are "these"? I want to restore one too!
Good for running a singer sewing machine...
Saw this type of saw in one of my forestry text books (1973). They would set up a Cat with a generator on it capable of powering at least 2 saws. Can't imagine dragging around a long heavy extension cord in the woods while falling and bucking!
How do you get the ID tag to look brand new? I have a old bandsaw from the 50s and would like to dress up the ID tag Great job
Leatherman can't hang, talk about a multi tool
Kinda steam punk. I love how dangerous those rollers probably are lol
It's cool, but I'm not parting with 2k for it.😂
“The perfect tool for having fun” Thank you, now me and my gf are having fun at the hospital. She’s still vibrating btw.
They stopped making them because they worked very efficiently and were very versatile...and we can't have that today. It would make sense.🤔🧐🤨
Looks like a biter
The dude's trying to call Shai-Hulud.
Thats awesome.... i am a repair technician as well as my late father, i never known that there is such.
Hand job rescue is the best
“The perfect tool for having fun” WOMEN, DO *NOT* DO THAT!
bravo j aime beaucoup votre chaine.ne changez rien.
Would be a really cool mini fridge for the beer, incorporate a hidden bottle opener
That is not a vacuum lol
Gasoline powered pogo stick was invented 70 years ago, and now this abomination, civilization is crumbling
👋 hello. I'm watching you, from Ukraine. Thank you for the video❤
That was one of my favorite episodes you've done.
I think I saw Ron Popeil selling that on late night television. "But wait! There's more! Order before midnight tonight!"
Just because you rescued that tool, doesn't mean it's been domesticated. That tool is just waiting for the opportunity to maim someone.
My grandma had an old 50s-60s electric can opener that had a grinding wheel built into the back.
You'll never guess what this is. Everything
Because brush motors wear down, brushless ones do not.
me gusta como reparar máquina es mui bueno saludo
We summoning the Sand Worms with this one, boys!
