Hi guys,

I went and picked up this drill yesterday:
http://ez2cu.free.fr/bois/2011/08/17/perceuse_2.jpg.
Unfortunately, it now lacks the handle.
I missed this one:
http://ez2cu.free.fr/bois/2011/07/01/3784317835%5B1%5D.jpg a few weeks
ago.

Kind regards,

Bruno Verachten
------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am curious to know why you don't like Bruno? Was it something he said?

Why does it now lack the handle?

That is a way gool, high-gizmo post drill.  I've never seen one like 
that before.  Looks like it mounts on a bench, rather than a post?  And 
has a vise on the back side?

And check out the size of that horizontal flywheel on top!!  Holy cow!

Looks pretty darn top-heavy.

The other one also is way cool.  I've never seen one with fly weights 
instead of a flywheel.  Tres cool.

Thanks for sharing the pics!

Bruno,
 Does the head swivel to use the vise on the backside?

 Of course if the head swivels, then the vise isn't on the backside it's on the 
other side.

I didn't get a reply to my query, so I am wondering if "Verachten Bruno" is a si
g, or if it is actually a name.

'Verachten" is the German verb, "to despise or hate". I wouldn't have expected s
uch a name from France. A sig perhaps.

Inquiring minds, and all that.....

C'mon, Bruno....Enlighten us. :>) I don't recall a bio.

After looking at 4 different Millers Falls catalogs, I tentatively
disagree.  While I don't have Mr Leach's background in tools, I don't see
any of the MF bench drills having the fancy attachment point that that drill
has.  None of their's swoop out over the edge of the bench as elegantly as
that one.

I checked 1904, 1912, 1925 & ~1894.  Also, Randy (oldtoolheaven.com) hasn't
gotten that far yet.

A question:  Are those spinning balls a flywheel, or a speed  
regulator.  It seems that if the maker wanted a flywheel effect, the  
cheapest and easiest way to get it is with a flywheel - one casting  
that is fixed to the axle.  On the other hand, why regulate the speed  
of a hand driven drill in such an elaborate manner?  And it doesn't  
seem to be adjustable. So what were they thinking?

Welcome aboard, Bruno! Now you have a bio posted, and my curiosity is
satisfied. There is a character in a movie named Bruno, and I hate him,
so I thought it possible that you did, too. :>)

Now I am trying to figure out how you make noise with a scrub plane.

There is an old country saying here, "I'm doing the best I can with what I got."

Sounds like that is the case with you. Keep on doing the best you can with whate
ver you have to work with. It works for me.

The seller (who told me lots of bullshit) picked it up at some place,
knocked it down to carry it later. He went to pick it up later, and
didn't see some parts were missing.

It would require a helluva bench! Well, if it layed on the ground, it
would be difficult to operate, so... I think it should be placed on a
brick and mortar bench. I'll see what I can do.

My back can confirm that. I had scheduled dragging it to the basement,

Hi Peter,

I don't know yet. There seems to be a plate missing on the post. I
suppose the manufacturer name was written there.
As I scrape the drill, I may discover something.

Please see my previous email.

Patrick Leach told me it was a Millers Falls, but I can't confirm, as
I haven't seen it closely.
I have been tiresome with the seller (because of my timetable), and he
lost patience.

Yes, the head seems to swivel, as the vise... I still have to derust,

can swivel...

It's a shame about the handle. What happened to it?

The one you missed, goodness, I imagine drilling away and being cracked 
in the head!
 From the body casting it looks very much like mine which is made by Fr. 
Eduard Engels, though mine has the safety option of a flywheeel at the top.
Oh, I see I picked it up in Jan 2006 and the photos were in the old 
galoot image central before it was hacked. I need to dig up the photos 
and put them up again.

Sorry guys, that's my name.

In fact, that's a german verb, but in my case (and thanks btw to my
father in law who found that) that's from an old belgium name "VRANKEN".
So, my belgian ancestors were name VRANKEN, then VERCHTEN, and then,
Verachten. BTW, I think my parents used to write it with a accent,
V=E9rachten.

As for Bruno, well, it was an old german monk... But when I was born,
Bruno was a very common first name in France. So, I'm french, live in
France, was born in France, and have nothing against me or other
Bruno. ;-)

> C'mon, Bruno....Enlighten us. :>) I don't recall a bio.
That's because I'm shy, and it's difficult for me to speak of myself, in
English all the more reason! Well, I'm 37, married, and we have 4 1/2
twins (boys). I work as a computer analyst, and love working wood with
old iron. I don't have much time to practice, but love to do it when I
can (I was asked to stop using the scrub plane yesterday around 10pm
because of the noise). ;-)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I should have been cautious about this assertion. He wrote something
like: "modified Millers Falls".
I hope Patrick won't mind if I paste his prose here: " It's a Millers
Falls (made about 40 miles
from where I live) with a user addition of
a governor similar to what a steam engine uses.

 I've never seen such a modification."

There's a thread there that discusses this drill:
http://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/hand-operated-pillar-drills-t53554-15.html
.

I still have the phone/email of the seller (in France), if anyone
wants to try his luck.

Is it possible they provide downward force on the shaft, to press the 
spinning bit into the wood?

It seems I had a bad idea when building my temporary workbench.
I used some kind of torsion box build with 2x4. I screwed the 2x4 to
the walls of the garage, that happen to be the house walls too.
My bench stops are all metal btw (ahem, they are screws in fact), and
that doesn't do any good for deadening the sound.

Hmm, just checking, did Patrick say that about the one with the governor 
on the top?
I was meaning that one, the one you didn't buy.
It looks more like a German style drill to me.

Ah, I see you've already answered the question I just sent - oops.

Maybe we need a post drill type study.
It doesn't look like any M-F I have seen but Patrick clearly knows 
otherwise.

I just don't know where it was made. Yes, Patrick was referring to
this one. I hadn't seen the one I bought yet when I sent him the
picture of the big balls drill.

Here we go again on that subject.  I'm amazed that there has only be two or
three responses.  Anyway, I too vote for ATF and acetone.  Even so, for
most of the stuff I do, I use Marvel Mystery Oil - mostly because it smells
nice and it works for most of my purposes.
