1940s Large Bandsaw [DiRestoration]

[@thomaslevy2119]

It always amazes me that, no matter how simple a machine may look, it will be made up of many more parts than you think it is. Great team effort! Need to do more.

[@censusgary]

Some things seem to have far more parts than they need. Others would have been made much better by the addition of just another part or two.

[@janbiedermann1398]

the little rubber hands of jimmy diresta touched your work!!!

[@anthonygee3901]

Dude, just wanted to let you know that your videos are super zen for me. Watching you take things apart and then put them back together all bright and shiny is really relaxing. So...thanks for doing what you do.

[@bobhoss4309]

I rescued a bandsaw I was told was a Delta from the early 60's broke it down to rebuild it as you guys did, then found out it was from Harbor Freight around 2005. Beat damn saw, nothing slows it down.

[@Mr.Stacey-L-SCC]

I love the look of tools of this era. The brass knobs Jimmy turned could not be more perfect. Beautiful tool!.

[@patrickperry6945]

Stakman1-Stacey L This tool is no different than what you can get today. I bought the same tool in the mid 80's.

[@arymonem]

Right before I ask about rust, you started applying clear coat. Nice.

[@MedievalFolkDance]

What an absolute beaut! I would say its a museum piece, but, I think it deserves to be used. It was made to be used, it still works. Use it!

[@kerylcooper2314]

Looks like you are found a real good helper friend . Thank you ❤️🍀🍀🍀🍀👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼🌵🇺🇸

[@KeithDecent]

such a great project. It was an honor to grind for you, sir!

[@gayle525]

Thank you Mr. Diresta for letting this be filmed in your shop.

[@michaeltilly6208]

Your videos always crack me up. The subtle and unexpected humor kills me. Good work guys!

[@jonnerztube]

Stroking the two screws like nipples cracked me up, so funny., The Broke back mountain moment was disturbing, roflmao

[@barkingbeare5277]

Dude, keep doing what you're doing, and don't ever change!! You too Jimmy Diresta!!! You both are one of the Greatest!!

[@OffyTheSwitch]

I liked how Tracey Chipmunk was playing in the background

[@wes11bravo]

The superhuman speed with which this bandsaw was dismantled then reassembled, coupled with the sounds of the wind howling through the desolation of a post nuclear exchange wilderness made for a very calming experience. Well done!

[@stuartwilliams4208]

Loved the “clicksping” reference during the machining

[@redlionforge9173]

It’s awesome you give these old tools new life!

[@mustie1]

you two made a great team,

[@HandToolRescue]

Haha, thanks!

[@sebadietrich2124]

Always¡

[@craigleemehan]

Oh, wow, Mustie1!

[@mr.skeltal8687]

When're you gonna get that shiney red beaver wet?

[@robertgabelucio6647]

Ayeeee, one awesome commenting on another awesome KZbinrs channel!

[@tomhoehler3284]

Very nice machine. I have a 1948 Milwaukee band saw with the gearbox, so it cuts wood and metal. I restored mine a couple years ago and am very pleased with the results. Thanks for the video!

[@WoodByWright]

That brought back a lot of memories. I grew up on that very saw. it was a dangerous childhood!

[@HandToolRescue]

Even more dangerous with no guard.

[@Rapidpanda1st]

I was conceived on that very saw. My parents liked to live dangerously.

[@soulextracter]

I was born on that very saw! Still have the scars!

[@RussellStClair-cy1vu]

First band saw I ever worked on and first set of fingers I picked up off of. Not mine , still have them all .

[@fireice2892]

Same here, I grew up with this guy. We still have ours! Still a good tool

[@uPerun]

I love Your work and sense of humor 😋

[@JBLewis]

It's easy to forget just how many camera setups you do for one video! Bravo for all the hard work!

[@censusgary]

It must take 20 times as long to do something and film it, as just to do it.

[@baleavitt]

Jimmy making grumpy faces at the bandsaw at the end was the best part of the whole video!

[@emersondamasceno3856]

Esse canal e muuuuito bom, eu passo o dia todo vendo os seus vídeos. Sou do Brasil.

[@jeffsandling5981]

Cool rescue! Currently working on a 1946 16" Walker-Turner...can't wait to see her running again.

[@miarosie]

Great work. Haven’t heard Tracy Chapman in yonks! Blast from the past.

[@HandToolRescue]

Hahaha, the best!

[@JBLewis]

Thank you! I *knew* I knew the song, but I didn't want to resort to slowing the video playback down to figure it out. I failed.

[@Thompsongs]

Such a good (and sad) song. What's a yonk?

[@miarosie]

Yonks is “ages” - one of those daft words we say in England. 😃

[@Thompsongs]

Noted! I'll have to add that to my own vocab------uhh....lexicon.

[@tridneven]

from this video we understand that taking apart and put back together the parts ,and using a tones of rust remover is something what this guys called restoration

[@TrevorAndersen]

Got my wrench today! It’s awesome!

[@davidrahn9903]

Wow, my father had that exact model of saw in his shop while I was growing up. I remember him cursing about those aluminum screws every time he tore it apart for referb. Man this brings back memories. Keep up the awesome work.

[@MazeFrame]

The watermarks in the video... I think you reached a milestone: Others are using your work as theirs. Congrats! Saw turned out great and the teamwork was magnificent. Concerning the new shop: The best way to find out what is missing is by using other peoples shops.

[@jamesbascombe8274]

Cool love to see the old tools brought back to life.

[@johnyspade8090]

Two best gadgeteers on youtube in same video.. Holly Molly my dream is real :D

[@bigpete4227]

Johny Spade gadgeteers? I like that.

[@joshhibbs_nola]

SO AWESOME! I love seeing old things restored and used again. 👍🏼

[@kathleenaltherr6836]

That introduction was so funny I had to play it over again. I just found your site yesterday and it is wonderful! As a daughter of a diesel mechanic who grew up helping my Dad build go-karts and tear apart and rebuild engines, I find this so delightful to watch. It brings back so many memories...smells of his workbench and all the grease and oils. Our cat thinks this is great too. She can sit for up to 30 minutes watching all the movement and listening to all the sounds. Congrats on your new workshop.

[@HandToolRescue]

Haha awesome! Thank you!

[@TheGoodoftheLand]

AHH! Same drop time??? I cant watch them both at the same time. !!! 😁

[@randallmelchiori3243]

Thanks for this video. I have an Atlas bandsaw like this that I acquired 20 years ago. Mine has an enclosed base. It has what looks like the original blade guard at the cutting guide, but a cobbled together guard at the blade return. I’m going to try an create what you and Jimmy made. Love all your videos. Please keep it up.

[@kaycox5555]

Simply AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL job....thanks for sharing. Outstanding.

[@petergilbert7106]

the hands on the lathe sequence... should have been unchained melody. Its a match made in heaven, you both do beautiful work.

[@LeGranDuc]

Excellent as always. The "Vertical Wire-Wheel?!" got me.

[@HandToolRescue]

Haha, blasphemy.

[@ericericson3131]

Nice rescue of a wonderful piece of woodworking machinery. I was taught that using oil on parts that are open to sawdust caused them to be sawdust magnets and become a caked up mess. If you use paste wax instead, you won't have that issue.

[@More_Row]

Awesome, cool to hear about your new workshop. Hope it turns out how you like it.

[@HandToolRescue]

Thank you!

[@The.Talent]

I can’t wait until that glorious day when my workshop isn’t just a corner in the car garage.

[@socraticmethodman9672]

Best Canadian/US collaboration since Rush and Aimee Mann’s Time Stand Still. Nicely done guys.

[@ronaldkearn6368]

That was awesome! I would love to find an older band saw like that to restore. Jimmy DiResta is a true genius who can make anything work. Great job. :-)

[@mymechanics]

I really enjoy watching those big projects 👌 where do you find all these?

[@garyjones2582]

Tons of that stuff in New York...

[@censusgary]

The ruins of old tools are all around, once you start looking.

[@angelsantacruz845]

Una pregunta cuál es la serie de la Sierra porfavor que yo tengo una igual la serie de la mía es 381616 para no encuentro información de ella

[@kirillkozlovsky3944]

You are awesome! Subscribed few months ago, watched all of your videos. I was a locksmith for three years and I really know how much work and effort needed to bring all these old rusty things to this new condition. Awesome channel, awesome work. Love from Israel.

[@HandToolRescue]

Thank you very much!

@14:03 An instance of manly love expressed while operating heavy machinery.

[@nineteenandfortyone]

Great restoration! The saw is worth so much more than all the work put into it. That should last a long time.

[@thebeardedchad]

I loved the logo getting bigger and bigger, that had me laughing so hard. Good to see Jimmy D finally getting to appear on a KZbin channel... Oh wait, the good of the land, r&r buildings, etc. I wish I could do that. I bet all I have to do is have my own very successful channel...

[@63256325N]

I said it on Jimmy's channel and I'll say it again... beyond nice! Thanks for the video.

[@coreysc20]

Had me rolling, that was a awesome "Ghost " moment. So who was Patrick Swayze?

[@HandToolRescue]

We'll never tell.

[@tslater1989]

It was diresta.

[@geirrosset]

That turned out all kinds of awesome. SO satisfying to watch.

[@GeoffreyCroker]

That was rad! But who's the other guy... kinda cramped your style.

[@ptb3937]

Geoffrey Croker the other guy is Jimmy diresta!!

[@More_Row]

I think he knows.

[@VerdantTrash]

[@HandToolRescue]

Thanks! haha, just some random guy. He's up and coming on KZbin.

[@dfbess]

BurntWaffles .. wow.. really? sarcasm and jokes are wasted on you i bet..lol

[@jacobroman3168]

I watched jimmys CHANNEL on the same bandsaw and i clearly heard him ask you if you've ever FACKED PUT SOMETHING BACK TOGETHER, IM GLAD YOU PUT HIM IN HIS PLACE!!! I'VE ALREADY KNEW HE DOES THE FAKE PUT TOGETHER FOR THE CAMERAS... THIS IS WHY YOUR MY NUMBER 1 WHEN I COMES TO THIS RESTORATION STUFF, CAUSE YOU ALWAYS SHOW IT WORKING AFTERWARDS....

[@TysyTube]

Good job 👍, do you have finished this amazing restoration in one day?🤩🙀

[@HandToolRescue]

Only had 3 days!

[@TysyTube]

Hand Tool Rescue thank you for answer

[@kyronnewbury]

My 3 favorite KZbin channels in one place and one video?!? Sheesh this was awesome!

[@frac]

This was one of your best! You've earned my Patreon for the year. Unfortunately, I'm also sending you a bill for my bleeding ears at @10:38. Oh, wait. I'm Canadian. No medical bill. I guess you're good to go, then.

[@HandToolRescue]

Wow! Thank you! Haha, FEEL THE PAIN!

[@zzrmatt1]

Might be paying them every week, but they're not gonna bankrupt him though...

[@aussiebloke609]

True. But it's still a _lot_ less than it would be south of the border. :-)

[@frankstrawnation]

But they will bankrupt him some day. And not just him but the entire country also.

[@vmitchinson]

I have had 4 major operations in the last 15 years. The only cost to me was the taxi to and from the hospital or parking fees. I paid taxes for 35 years. I am retired now so I only pay 25% up to a max of 25.00 per precription. No dought If I lived in the US I would be bankrupt and living on the street. Last winter the temperature went down to 40 below zero. At that temperature I would be dead.

[@PatrickLeitelt]

Biggest hand tool I ever saw! Nice to see another piece rescued from the recycler.....

[@joseluisorellano69]

Check at 3:00 mins and 25:00 mins...can you spot something different? That piece went upside down? There's an indentation or mark in that part seen at 25 mins that wasn't there at 3:00. Just me?

[@johnpowell5433]

Joecarvin : Upside down and back to front. That's why they had to beat it together as well as apart! Aside from that a cool vid.

[@stevehumenik8772]

Love your videos I check every few days to see if you have uploaded anything new entertaining and educational .

[@GreatOldOne]

Hmmmm. Not sure I’d be wearing a Rolex in the workshop... 😉

[@HandToolRescue]

Jimmy is fancy like that.

[@Sgt_Kilborn]

If you pay 1300$ for a watch, it better not fall apart just because you got it dirty in the shop

[@brianargo4595]

If I paid $1300 for a watch, well, you can't get fooled again

[@markschwarz2137]

Got home from a fairly stressful day at work, had dinner, and was happy to see a new HTR vid had been posted (one of my favourite ways to relax). Little did I realize there was going to be some pretty hot "two pairs of hands" play, and JIMMY BLOODY DIRESTA! I think the Buddhists have really underestimated what Nirvana can be!

[@HandToolRescue]

Hahaha, glad you liked it.

[@imortaldeadead]

Great video collaboration, thank you for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 How did you keep track of all the parts? I look away for a second and I’m sure I loose 1/2 of what I have out on the bench 😂

[@MakingStuff]

It's nice to see the saw project from 2 different perspectives. You don't get to see that very often.

[@HandToolRescue]

Thanks!

[@KamovRider]

10:00 Logo...what are you doing?...Logo!...STAPH :D

[@Haremheb76]

this video contains everything it needs! hard work, sweat, smear, dust, dirt, METAAALLLL and so much LOVE!!! Echt Knallharte Jungs!!!

[@roebe12]

This is a DiRestsawration!

[@tinkernaut8736]

I rebuilt my 14" bandsaw and it had those same guides and they were trashed. I made my own using a product I saw online as a guide and they work great.

[@pyksdys]

"gently remove this parts" with hammer and shaking :D

[@ShamblerDK]

That was very enjoyable to watch as usual. Thank you once again.

[@TheCowgirlNiamh]

Beautifully modelled! You remind me a bit of that guy in the original Superman movies! Was his name Zog or something? 🤔😂😂

[@dr.scarlet7586]

A collaboration​ between my 2 favorite KZbinrs? YES YES YES!!!

Ha! I almost did a spit-take at 13:59

[@HandToolRescue]

hahahaha

[@lenardruterbories7923]

I bought two of your wrenches and I have this exact saw in near mint shape in my shop I gave 40 bucks for it at auction love it. Cant wait for the wrenches

[@feefeee]

10:43 was this making fun of Diresta because he puts his logo on everything?

[@HandToolRescue]

Yes!

[@traesolus8898]

Well I think HRT *should* put his logo on things he fixes. Usually in normally hidden locations that you'd only find when taking the item apart.

[@BrokeMoFo]

In my opinion the humorous additions make the whole vid. Great stuff, keep it up!

[@dennisp.2147]

That bandsaw deserved better than rattle can clear lacquer. For shame.

[@smh9902]

Yeah, but rattle can lacquer is better than leaving it in the condition it was in. For sure.

[@chris-su8ns]

Yeah. Looks unfinished.

[@sethblanton5058]

I agree....I'm just not getting it.....A great job in the prep and all else, but I am extremely disappointed in the "raw" look......To me it's now no better than before they started..I just cant figure out what was accomplished.

[@georgeclooney4218]

Cmon man! It's not the same with another restorer....you're the champ at this alone. Lol. Great stuff brother. Love your vlogs and learn a lot from watching. Thanks!

[@IR0ADBL0CK]

Very cool! I did metal fabrication for a while, and the band saw we had at the shop was from the Packard plant here in Detroit in the 50's. We also had some big circular saws made by Trenjeager that were used by the Messerschmitt plant in Germany in WW2. I love your vids, please don't stop.

[@bandols]

it's crazy how I can enjoy watching this happen twice, once on diresta's channel and then again on yours. I'm glad you both didn't use the same video and stuck to your own personal styles.

[@bandols]

Also I'm really glad you did this specific one because I see this exact bandsaw come up fairly often on my local classifieds.

[@garrettbates6018]

i loved this collab! your guys energy together is entertaining!

[@brucemartinez5343]

I have an exact Delta, bandsaaw built in 1949 the year I was born, given to me from my father-in-law, works fantastic wouldn't trade it for anything, it is my absolute favorite machine to use in my shop, only thing I would change is to put a stack on it like your have Jimmy., I stuck with the battleship gray-blue.

[@nicholassmerk]

I have the same one. Mine has the deco base. Some shop teacher or student painted it all grey. I'm not to much into painting tools, but I'd probably paint a saw if it was rusty.

[@jimbobtheimpaler8403]

Excellent piece Mr.DiResta Mr.HT.Rescue

[@GuntherRommel]

I think the gentle perfectionism you displayed in disassembly is one of my favourite themes in these videos. Oooh wait, not this one. I laughed so hard.

[@markwalden4992]

I have a bandsaw about this same vintage about 1948-49 according to OWWM . But it has cast iron wheels AND the original motor. I use in my shop daily and it runs great, plenty of power to resaw and anything else. Great job this should last a long time.

[@MakeBrooklyn]

Another awesome resurrection! Great that you got to work with Jimmy in his shop!!

[@zalewarren251]

Dear Hand Tool Rescue, today I went to the county fair near me and they had on display or for potential purchase a Struck reciprocating saw exactly like the one you restored with a wood cutting blade. The man who owned it before bought it at an auction for 12 dollars and he used it until he died. It looks about brand new with the original paint and everything. Wish I took a picture of it but couldn`t. So know you know there is at lease 2 saw left in existent. Thank You for you fine work and in saving tools from the grave.

[@HandToolRescue]

Interesting!!!

[@Dwendele]

Man that came out beautiful! You make me want to go through my shop and do similar to all my old tools.

[@censusgary]

So do it!

[@PapiSmerf]

YOU STOLE MY BANDSAW! Except.... Mine was in better shape when I got it. 😁 Currently trying to find time to finish putting it back together and change the bearings in the motor. Thanks for the timely video, it was a treat seeing this one pop up!

[@TheMarcball]

Here in France, I have a similar " Syderic" wood/metal version from the 60s, probably using Delta cast iron frames and local French components. I will do this raw metal restomod, looks great. Thanks for the inspiration. Keep on trucking (from France) !

[@WrenB111]
