No way it's actually a solid piece. I give 10:1 odds that the fins are heat shrunk onto the shaft. If it's similar metals and done well, the joint basically vanishes to the eye. EDIT: Watched again. At 2:19 you can see a slight seam between the turbine and shaft.

Adolescent sense of humor- You Tube is inundated with wannabe comedians, sadly the restoration videos suffer from it.

Best video ever! A man working his tool with his hands and never says a word. Lots of cleaning and lube involved with twisting, turning, and pulling to get it off. I learned a lot. It's incredible how many different tools you used to manipulate your tool in just the first five minutes of this video. Like I said I learned a lot. Thank you. I love TOOLS!

It's so awesome that you got a sponsorship from that rust neutralizer company. Their product works well and your channel is, by its nature, a running advertisement for it. Congrats.

The "dad-jokes" on Thor and "gun" drill are priceless (except for the cost/value of the sacrifices).

Thank hell AvE made me take a look at your awesome channel! I'm subbed since about half a year and enjoy every single of your restauration/rescues! DAMN NICE work on this pneumatic drill! It's so good to see that old, rare and unique tools land in your worthy hands and get a new life! My compliment!

Well, other than the facts that you didn’t lube properly, used the wrong blast media, didn’t polish properly, didn’t use proper PPE, didn’t protect the polished aluminum, and chose the wrong tools to sacrifice, it was an AWESOME rescue with an AWESOME result!!

Great work! I was going to suggest after sandblasting, maybe you can switch the media out of the cabinet and use like a #10 glass bead media. That'll peen the metal, clean it up and bring back a shine; which would in turn negate using a die grinder with sanding and buffing discs. You can go straight to the buffing wheel.

Nice! I don't live far from where Thor made their products under Aurora Automatic Machine Company/Speedway/Thor. I regularly run across Thor products at auctions, etc. In fact, I'm certain I have a few massive sized drills in nice shape. Once I bought a box of Thor Wire Wrapping Tools from the early 60's, there were the tools and various parts for them in the box, they were all in like new/unused condition. I put one up on ebay just to see if there was any interest and a fella bought it. He used to use the tool in the 60's and had been looking for one for many years. He ended up buying the lot from me, didn't even try to talk me down from the price of the first one. When I see heavy Thor tools in nice condition, I buy them, so I'm certain there's 3-4 of them floating around the shed!

Well, I've rebuilt a lot of power tools and most of them I've messed with have grease. Usually some really thick paste that takes FOREVER to scrape out with a screwdriver. It's nice, though, because you don't have to worry about it leaking out, even if you crack the housing. Edit: I'm speaking specifically of my modern power tools. I bet it's cheaper to manufacture a part to hold grease than to hold oil, less concern for sealing it.
