So this is the sum total of what we have to work with...
At least it has a chuck and key!
So on this project Lenard will be taking the lead as it's right up his street. The good thing about a project like this is that worst case, we can put it to good use in the workshop.
Before I close this post I would like to mention my friend Pete McB who is a Photoshop Ninja and thank him for our header picture. Pete does a lot of Photoshop work and can accommodate most projects big or small. So if you need a Photoshop Ninja and you don't know who to call... Well you get the idea! Here is his contact info: http://www.facebook.com/petemcb

Hi there, i am thinking about restoring a bradson no.14 drill. would you be able to tell me the value of yours when it is fully restored.
Hi, a No.14 is a very common model of Bradson but fully restored as it rolled out of the factory we would ask £125-£150 depending on the quality of the drill itself. A few factors to consider are: pitting,cracks and gear wear. Also we always change perishables bearings, washers etc. Un-restored you might get £1-£15 on an auction site. With the No.29 we will be looking for £200-£300 plus shipping because they are not as easy to come accross. I hope this helps If you have any more questions please ask.
Thanks alot im looking foward to seeing yours restored and to start restoring mine.
Your very welcome, I can provide the original colour scheme if your is gone so you have a ref. There will be an update on the blog today... So please check back.
sorry i havent replied ive not been able to, the drill looks great you've done an amazing job on it. And if you can provide the original clour scheme it would be great, i havent been able to find much information on these myself.
No problems, I will feature a post with some pics I found as a ref for you. I'm glad you like it. I am going to feature a video soon to show the mechanical action working.
Mate you're a star, thanks alot for all of your help i will look out for the video
I've recently been given a Bradson 29, quite rusty but complete and in working order. Can you tell me anything about the history of Bradson and the age of these machines? What were the original colours? I'm planning to restore it to use in my workshop. Thanks, Stuart
If anyone comes across any information about the Bradson company please get in touch via this thread. I'm a descendent of the Bradley family who established the company in the Victorian era, but we have precious little information on the business side of things and I would like to gather sufficient information to at least compile a wikipedia page in its memory. Thanks! Michael

Hi Michael. I also hope this site is still being checked. I too am a descendent of Thomas Bradley. I also have a Bradson Drill, which is perfect working order. I have details of the family, having researched my family tree and would be pleased to assist you. Regards, Arthur Bradley.
Again a late comer to the site. Haverecently become the proud owner of a Bradson 29. Rusty but all the gears and cogs seem to be in good working order thanks to heavy greasing. However I don't have a chuck key. There is a drill bit in place, any advice on how to remove or does anyone have a image of the chuck key?
Hi Arthur - sorry only just saw your message. Great that we might be related! Can you contact me at mjwrightuk@hotmail.com so we can compare notes? If we have things right at my end Thomas Bradley was my great-great grandfather. all the best, Michael
