Trying to write up a story about an old tool I bought at a Garage Sale a while back..and how I tried to get it in working order.. Top end..and The adjustable Table ( raise it up and down ) Chuck still had a small broken drill bit... Asking price WAS $25....made him an offer he couldn't refuse of $10....and he helped load it up into the Chevy This is a Champion Blower Forge Co. No. 90 Post Drill...Hand cranked, was made before 1920..when they started to concentrate more on Fans...and changed their Brand Name. They also made forges for Blacksmiths, that they could turn a crank to add air to the forge's fire....instead of working with a hand operated Bellows... The board this is attached to..came with the drill...even has the model number stenciled on it... No. 90....Hole is where they would lag bolt this to a post in the shop. Entire drill, counting the board...weighs in right at 100 pounds....and they made a larger version that had 2 speeds and a larger table...and weighed 10 pounds more. So...stay tuned..will show how this got cleaned up for use...including adding a post in the Dungeon Woodshop for this beast to call home...
