Antique Industrial Hand Crank Iron Drill Press
About the Item
A rare antique industrial hand crank iron blacksmithing farmer barn post or bench drill press mounted on large wooden stump log base. Rustic, carved, chopped and loaded with rustic character and patina.
This early 20th century American antique makes for a fantastic accent piece, interesting and functional decor, or great conversation starter.
How did farmers, blacksmiths, carpenters and mechanics perform drilling tasks on iron and steel during the early industrial era - before electrical power was common in every home and business? They used an old fashioned hand powered drill press just like this working drill. No electric motor, no belt power, the drill is hand powered by turning the hand crank. The post drill is supplied with a self-feed mechanism that automatically advances the drill bit into the work while the drill is turning.
