the best thing about the old brush motors is they are mostly universal DC AC they dont really care its only the on off switch that burns from dc power on the newer stuff. keep an eye out for old tools that have steel bodies those usually can handle running on dc right out the box. I have a collection of old grinders that I keep around because I can power them directly off my welder
if you do the motor lathe technique again clamping the motor down to the bench better would make your cut off disc last much long. that little big of vibration is hell on cutoff wheels it just eats them right up
something to think about is building a sharpening jig for the planer knives. basically a holder for the knife and a lathe way for a grinder to ride on. the machine I use frequently is from the 60s its a cast iron beast and it has a set up to sharpen the knives while they are still on the machine
You could make great press-fit 3D printed pulleys. If there's not much heat involved then PLA would do, if there's more heat then, of course, you have to go to either PETG or even ABS. The problem with PETG is that it requires to be bone dry while it's printing (preferably with active heating of a spool) and ABS requires to not have any drafts and well-ventilated room to print in, since it's kinda toxic. No drafts for ABS is easy to do with some sort of cardboard box over the printer, while it's printing. I recommend to try buying a roll of black ABS (since it's more UV resistant) and roll of PETG for experiments. Just my two cents.
Jamie, I use things consistency of plasticine when I clean my magnets. Anything tacky that leaves no residue is good to clean those pesky metal shard suckers…
I have 900€ Chinese planer, and I'd trade it in any time with your planer. That's a proper machine and I hope you can protect it from rain and moisture.
My hands would itch to restore that one, show it some evaporust, a little paint remover, stone machined surfaces and put some protective oxidezer coating on non machined surfaces. Bearings on the blades sounded less perfect, so they'd be changed.
Blades looked like total rusted crap in a video, but they did cut. It's some indicator for quality.
You'll also need knife setting jigs. Those knives have to be SO precise when you put them back in after sharpening, and you'll need to sharpen them at least once before you make it through all of the flooring. A simple 25 degree knife sharpener would work for sharpening, but getting them perfectly aligned afterward is brutal. Otherwise several companies like Shelix make helical cutter heads for that machine, those just have small teeth with 4 sharp sides you don't have to take all the way out of the machine. While that would save a ton of work and money on knives over 20 years, the $800 up front is pretty steep. However, shelix works with lots of youtubers, so Jaime may be able to work out a deal with them.
Dude you are freakin' amazing… very cool my man!
Wow…😮 Whether it's been rednecked to death or not..😂.. it's still better than the suggestions I sent to you Jamie… Awesome planer I wish I had one
BRO.❤. those clippings from the planer… You can make particle board out of that if you have glue…
J, 'just more evidence of why we, 'behind your back
we call you
'a hell of a man 😆
Save your back,. use the base. The rollers on top save a lot of carrying planed boards back and forth. If you have both you should use them
Another wonderful video from the number one inspiring YouTube channel on The Internet thank you Jamie
wood shaving mix with concrete arbolite or sauerkraut
excellent work 🙂
Put all the shavings inna garden
Engineered obsolesence
Chicken bedding for the wood scraps or use it as mulch for your trees/plants?
It's amazing how far a little determination can take us. So far your determination seems to have no limits.
That's a old planer ,nice score
nice, you can save the woodchips for gradening or starting the fire in the morning etc 😀
a lot of engineering today is in the technology of 'making it look like something it ain't". amazing job Jamie. you keep surprising.cheers.

11:39 ahhh man wanted to see the 1000watt superglue masterpiece in action
12:55 very clever putting that back together
17:32 wow – THAT was DIY at a next level
19:05 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 simply AMAZING runs better than my planner, wow
20:40 Next project, fire starters
DUDE you are a legend!! Your machining/tech skills are off the chart.
Why don't you have a couple million viewers? You do the most amazing things and they are totally fun to watch.🥸
That was cool. I need 15 copper seals for 1/4-20 bolts today. If only pennies were flat.
I’m having the urge to collect and save all that saw dust
Get some buckets of epoxy and mix all that sawdust into it.
air compressor takes those iron filings off real nice

Todays school lesson: restoring a vintage Simpson Sears planer.

I don’t know what to say but it’s why I’ve followed him since day one. Huge:)

Next, some T stand rollers .lol.love them old tool's. Very nice video.
This is exciting to see, can't wait to watch more
Are you allowed to work there? Just be careful you don't infringe on any locals lumber business, they might not take it kindly.
That stainless steel bit you hand carved is peace of art. ❤
The jungle trees are now definitely concerned 😂😅.. 🐐💪🏻
I busted my back moving one of those. Six months lying on my @ss waiting for surgery. Be careful
This is the kind of thing I follow you for. Its amazing what youre able to do for next to no $. Keep up the amazing work.
Hope your neighbors don't know about your channel, that planer is awesome!

Your kids have gotten so huge holy hell! Been following this channel for some 8-9 years now I think, amazing.
Also you look way stronger than ever!
your ingenuity never ceases to amaze me
i could watch you make planks all day long
Hopefully no one watches your YouTube channel there, so they don't come knocking at your boat dock for boards to be planed! LOL 🤣
please Jamie, we love seeing the mill and planer, would love to see more wood vids, keep up the great work!
