Do you ever wonder WHERE all the Old Rusty Tools & Machines being restored on YouTube come from? For some, they find them on the Bay, or FB Marketplace, CL, or from friends, but that's always AFTER someone else has already DISCOVERED them!!

I'll take you on an adventure where we'll discover these old tools & machines right where they've been living for a LONG time! If you love machines like these and you enjoy adventures, then I hope you enjoy this new series here at Salvage Workshop!

In this episode, we'll dig out a couple OLD Camel Back Drill Presses, and load up an old Caterpillar Towmotor Forklift I picked up for the shop! We'll do a little pickin, and then go through everything I brought back to Salvage Workshop!

The big items we rescued are:
20" Champion Blower & Forge Camel Back Drill Press
20" W.F. & J. Barnes Co Camel Back Drill Press
Caterpillar Towmotor Forklift


In this series "Rescuing Old Iron" here at Salvage Workshop, I'll show you where I discover MANY amazing old machines that have been there for 10, 30, or even 100 years! Everything you see me haul back to the workshop has been purchased from the owners, and now has a new lease on life! We'll talk about the history of the places I take you to and have a little fun PICKIN in search of burred treasures!


I am always on the hunt for amazing OLD iron Machines! Finding these gems, & meeting the incredible people along the way that have had them is truly a PASSION of mine!

Join me as I Rescue OLD Iron here in the Midwestern United States!

I'd love to know your thoughts on this adventure!
