Over 40,000 Power Tools Built By Our Grandfathers! Gilliom "Gil-Bilt"
The Gilliom Power Tools or Gilliom Manufacturing Inc. was the manufacturer of plans, parts and kits for DIY woodworking tools from the late 1940's into the early 2000's under the "Gil-Bilt" brand. According to a 1959 ad, they claim to have had over 40,000 customers who built one of their kits! In this video I'll show you their Lathe/Drill Press combo, and talk a bit about the history of the company.
