This 16mm print from my collection is a good basic instructional film from the bygone era of High School Wood Shop - with the corded power tools of the time. As usual I transferred this reel with my own Telecine and corrects color to taste. Enjoy!

I still have my Craftsman orbital sander and 3/8"" drill from the mid-to-late 1970s.
Ever kid who ever watched this in school had a shop teacher calling them "Half Wits" whilst they made bongs and knives.
Memories
of watching my Father working on the Car or in the Workshop..
then hold the Powerdrill first time
and drill a hole with a little Fear
but then proud.. i made it
I miss you Dad
Thanks Fran !
interesting that I have that exact same drill. now I know it was made in 1968 or there about
mine is not as pretty of course , and the teeth on the chuck are worn down so that you have to get the teeth of the chuck key to mesh just right when tightening or loosening . but otherwise a good quality drill that still works even after all these years
This takes me back in time. I still have a rubber pad for the sanding discs to use in a drill – and the sanding discs. Purchased back in the mid 80's. I do not recall the last time I used this, but never liked using it.
I do not recall seeing sabre saws with two screws, or the wheel mechanism to hold the abrasive on the orbital sander. Interesting.
Back when those tools were made, no one expected dust collection. LOL
Thanks for the video.
The thing I don't like about these drills, then and now, is that they don't have structural points on them for mounting them to, for example, a mechanism for making them into a drill press. My Black & Decker drill has a big screw-hole for mounting this plastic handle to help you hold the drill steady and that's it. And I guess if its true what others have said, that the new drills are covered in plastic (yuck!), then we can't even think of having something like this today.
Why are 1960s safety googles better than the crap we have now ?
Silly me, I thought they would have like a 12V battery on a cord or something. I forgot that prior to this "power tools" took up an entire shop and needed a hydraulic lift to move.
Nice little film. I must be old, I still have one of these Black and decker drills!
This is the first time I have heard them referred to as butterfly cutters. I grew up they were always called paddle bits
55 years later and these tools look pretty much the same! Interesting. Either the original design was pretty good, or tool producers are pretty lazy.
I like the correct use of the term "twist drill." Many if not most say "drill bit" and I knew an old school machinist who went ballistic if anybody used that term for a twist drill. He would shout, "Show me the tang on it!" That is the square tapered end on an actual "drill bit" such as used in a "brace and bit."
I miss the trigger locks, with the 'squeeze to release'. I just finished using a power tool the last couple of days, and what really made my hand hurt was the non-stop squeezing of the 'idiot lock'. I had to use my first finger for that, and the middle finger for the actual trigger.
Somebody at work was boasting about the "batteries" in his electric drill.
I knew he must have been drinking on the job again, because can you just imagine the number of C size batteries that would take?
I say, "drinking again", because last week he was talking about how good his Japanese car was. I had a good guffaw at that one, let me tell you.
i got hurt with every tool of this video xD
Think I saw this film in shop class cer 1987
My Stepfather had an old metal drill from back in the 1950's .That thing would send a jolt up your arms and straight down to your toes and back up to your Weiner …Oooh Lordy
I don't know anyone that ever actually attaches that grounding lead on the two-prong adapter. 😅⚡ Edit: Great video. And I see this one did manage to keep a bit more of its color. Hopefully that made your corrections easier.
