Inherited one of those grinders in the father-in-law's tool chest. Bet that G.D. thing weighed 25lbs. Love the hand held grinding wheel. Thats got a 1950's high school auto shop (industrial arts I think they called it) safety film, written all over it. I'd be diving for cover. Great show gentlemen.
I wonder if my old '30 coupe will show up in your shop. (1964 when I was in high school)
You know in all the years of watching CWM videos and now your own, I don't think I've ever seen Jim or Matt upset over anything!
Always a joy to watch
Proper job, gents! Cheers!
One thing for beginners to watch out for is where the sparks from the grinder flies to. There is a video of a guy grinding and the sparks landed in a waste can, setting it on fire. Sparks can also damage paint on cars sitting too close. Those power tools were pretty expensive when new. Add the prices for both and you equal the monthly pay for an individual. When my dad got out of college in 1927, his MONTHLY pay was $110. His dad's pay, a union railroad engineer, was $200/mo.
I really like those rear tires on the a chassis brings back some old memories
In the nanny state we live in the OSHA people probably had kittens watching you use that non double insulated disc grinder that originally had no safety ground and that non guarded, unreinforced flex shaft grinding stone conjunction with tempered glass safety glasses.
Awesome work guys. You brought me back to when I was a little boy watching my late Dad perform his craft. I could and did watch him for hours at a time, and I continued to do this even as a young man. I often wished I learned more from him, but life happens and can take us in other directions. Enjoyed the 1941 Lincoln profile as you worked. Many thanks guys, and as always, I look forward to more. Cheers!
Another awesome video showing that all the progress is still based on vintage tools that still work today.
Great videos guys. As you repair vintage cars, using vintage tools in a vintage shop. Can you apply for historical/heritage funds? Like a working museum?
Anywho, keep up the great work.
I get a sick feeling when I see someone grinding metal with a car nearby. Good way to ruin glass or paint.
All the discussion of the A had me thinking of Bob and Doug McKenzie. If you'd left that cracked member it might have stranded someone on the road, and they'd have had to call CAA for their A, Eh?
What was the preservation juice ?
Amazing video and thank you for breaking it down!! Despite the economic downturn,I'm so happy☺️. I have been earning $32,230 returns from my $7,300 investment every 14days..
I love your content guys, showing the old tools is great but using an unguarded grindstone is playing Russian Roulette with your face. An old school friend of mine, his grandfather had a severely mutilated face, we all thought it was from WW2 schrapnel or something, but no it was from an exploded grindstone. Please take care.
Great preservation with the good old and proper tools.
I thumbs up for this content
