I’ve been working on repairs to this Kearny & Trecker Universal Milling Head for a long time. I am finally ready to get it back together. Check out the link in my bio to the YouTube video of part 1.

I have finally finished the restoration of my 1940s Craftsman drill press. This project had some challenges, but it’s finally finished and I think it looks great! Replaced all the bearings, machined the table and base flat and smooth, gave it a paint job, and made a few replacement parts. Check the link in my bio for the final video I published on the yoootooobs.

The table is off the K&T! It was actually a lot easier than I was expecting it to be. The good news is the ways look pretty good. The bad news is the bearings need replaced and they are EXPENSIVE (at least to me)! See the link in my bio for the YouTube video on how I removed it.

I removed the drive train from my K&T 2HL horizontal mill. My only purpose was to clean the insides of the column real good of all the gunk that’s collected in there over the last 80 years. That, and to inspect the gears for excessive wear or broken teeth.
New machine day in the shop!

I completed the rehab of my Bridgeport vertical mill! I posted a video of the final pieces on my YouTube channel. I’m happy it is finally back together and I am able to put it to work!

The Series 1 Bridgeport I bought over a year ago is almost completely rebuilt. I’ve been making videos along the way. The latest is up on YouTube where I reassemble the top end gears, belts, lions and tigers, oh my!
