Rusty Arbor Press - Restoration

In this video i'm restoring a rusty arbor press.
Ever since I started my channel I had an arbor press on my wish list to restore. Not just because it's an interesting good looking item, mainly because I want to have one in my shop. So I got very excited when my friend called me two weeks ago and told me that he has found one on the steel waste. It's a small Fehlmann arbor press, they're very famous in switzerland for making the best ones.
I choose turquise blue for the main body and painted the letters black and I really like how to colour turned out. Unfortunately the table was missing, so I had to make a new one. I first planed to mill the slots on a CNC milling machine, but I couldn't get access to one in time so I decided to make it manually. It took some time to find a way to make them, took even more time to make them, but the endresult speaks for itself. It turned out absolutely perfect. I went with bluing on the gear part of the handle and sanded the handle itself. The name plate was from the previous seller of this press, it's a well known seller for machines in Switzerland. As the plate was too damaged to use again, I decided to make my own „my mechanics“ plate out of aluminium. It took me three tries to get it to work and I ended up with a very nice and clean plate at the end. I went with a brushed finish for the name plate, as it fits the other finishes very well.
Overall I'm very happy how the press turned out. I really like the contrast of the different colours and finishes and I'm more than happy to finally own an arbor press in my shop. This tool will be very usefull and will for sure appear in future videos.
I hope you like my work and the video.

    As watching some of the stuff he does, yes he has some good machining skills, but I wouldn't call him a machinist. I don't say that as a bad thing. He is far more like a fabricator. I do like something that I bet most people over look. As a machinist, nothing is worst that trying to machine a weld that someone took an angle grinder to. I think it goes to show that he knew better. He didn't take an angle grinder to it. He straight took it to the lathe. Hybrid machinist and fabricator.

    I know that there can be questions about over-restoring items, but something going into use, rather than into a museum, makes all that irrelevant. I would have hesitated about taking the markings off the bolt head, that does lose something, but the bolt could easily have been a replacement. It doesn't matter. I did wonder about the new table. What source did you have for the sizing?
