Finished Another Project - GP No. 4 1/2 Drill - enjuneer - 11-26-2015
Another project finished this weekend...a Goodell Pratt No. 4 1/2 eggbeater drill. It was in rough shape when it arrived. Very rusty. All of the pins were stuck, as was the chuck. It was completely stripped, painted, polished, and refinished. The geared wheel was originally nickel plated, but that was long gone, so the owner asked for it to be painted to match his GP 5 1/2.
After reassembly and lubrication, it works as well now as when it was made. It will be headed back to its owner soon.

So do I Ron,
But Bob is showing the visual part. The mechanical part has to be experienced to fully appreciate - it's like a precision tool in every way. I have one that he re-furbed and I reveal my age when I tell you that it "runs like a Singer sewing machine."

I bet it didn't look that good when it was brand new.
