Gizmortiser [Restoration]

Why tear something that pristine and beautiful just to be a screw up.

That was quite a complex hand drill huh

💡While I enjoyed and approve heartily of this lovely restoration, I must venture to say that most hobbyists, carpenters, woodworkers, etc., would find this tool to be only 👉very occasionally👈 useful.

Fascinating!

Your intro rocks. Makes me nostalgic for the 90s 😂

It never occurred to me to swing the bit like a pendulum. Brilliant!!

Well Shucks! When I added on to my 1920s home I mortised all the doors by hand with spade bits and chisels. Took an extraordinarily long time. While it was "fun" and fulfilling, this machine would have been the tool my grand-carpenters would have reached for! I'm happy you restored and demonstrated this beauty!

Obligatory comment for the algorithm.

Amazing! Whoever designed that was a genius

Brilliant gizmo, brilliant restoration!

The original domino!

Damn fine restoration as always.

Question: How often do you have to watch your own video when putting things back together? ;)

That's a pretty cool mortiser! We have a modern one--electric--and in a way, it's less efficient, as you have to keep moving the stock over, and boring multiple square holes which then must be finished off/cleaned out/blended together with a chisel!

what is this fucking 8 is enough?

Jizzmorister?

"Cracky McCrackface" mae me Smiley McSmileface. ;)

Very cool. Was not clear from the demo, does it create an fan-shaped mortise, or is there some clever mechanism to adjust the depth during the swing and approximate a rectilinear pocket? Seems the arc would work fine for a lock but of course for purposes the more complicated the better!

Adoro seu trabalho, parabéns

Otro equipo más, con una restauración PRÍSTINA, BELLA, detalladamente ejecutada. Siempre imitado, jamás igualado. Felicitaciones joven HTR 😊.

Wow.

So this gizmo mortizes all your mortizes in your morization business.

Great job restoring that brilliant machine.

Thanks to the gizmortizer’ a girl talked to me!

master!!!

That is an insane piece of machinery and a great restauration.

omg you have no idea how much I searched for you. I used to love restoration videos but I stopped watching them and now I got into them again and I was like "damn there was this one guy that I really liked" BUT I COULDN'T REMEMBER ANYTHING ABOUT YOU OR YOUR CHANNEL I just remember about the silly intros!!!
but I found again!!!!! ❤

I love these old hand driven wood working machines they’re absolute genius. Great job as always.

What is this the next antikythera machine?

This works remarkably well for such a demented design...

Since when do you wear gloves with evaporust? Its ph neutral and not harmful! (Or is this a CRC thing, who also doubled the price here in AUS upon completion of purchase)

I could imagine Roy Underhill using this!

Was wondering why it was using what looked like a high speed steel bit until I saw it in action. It’s a little rough but that probably won’t effect the finish of a mortised lock. Working on old buildings I’ve seen evidence of chain mortising in old doors.

I swear your little "scratchin'" was Beastie Boys "So What'cha Want".....All kidding aside (but I think I'm right), that is a brilliant piece of equipment. Another 34 minutes on a Sunday morning well spent. Thank you!

Man, I hope you took a lot of photos before disassembling it. Otherwise it would be like assembling IKEA furniture with a hangover. 🇦🇺👴🏻

That is an impressive restoration! Some time I'd like to understand if you are welding or brazing those cracks and what the difference is between the two 😂 I really like how you don't give away what this devise was meant to do until the very end - I had no idea it was meant to make those notches in doors where the lock mechanism goes! Great video! 👍

And here I thought it would slice cheese.

Ever-present cricket was a nice guest appearance. Very knowledgeable. You should invite him more often. 👍

I didn't know CRC made a ONE THOUSAND LITRE jug of Evapo-Rust. I have never known such biting, acerbic envy as this. HTR is living the greaseball's dream, folks. You can't even BUY this stuff in the big bin in Canada yet, so the CRC people must really like our man here. Congrats on one million subs, duder. Women want him; men want to be him; rust fears him.

Nice machine.

Well, I've never seen someone weld with a blowtorch before, and I watch these kinds of videos a lot.

Your narration is amazing!

It isn't how well these discoveries work. It's more a matter that the stuff works at all. And no messy AC power cords!

O love your work. Mery Christmas!

men 2023 it 2024!!!!💙💙💙🤍🤍🤍💙💙💙👌🎄🎆🎇✨🎉🎊🎁

👏

Where do you find all these wonderful obsolite machines? And most have all of their parts. You keep the history of machines alive every time you restore such wonders. Thank you for all your hard work.

вот так придумали ручной станок для прорези замковых углублений, тех создателей давно нет, а двери режут до сих пор... кому-то это было нужно...

Expert level 9.8+ achieved.

If you try to imagine the prototype development process and the decision-making mechanisms and control structures that must have been behind the development of such a device, for what quantities, for what profit target, for what price... It's absolutely crazy.
