[@randycosgrove3608]

Nice saw and nice restoration. I enjoy your approach to what you show us. Keep it coming.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you very much

[@simonr6793]

There's nothing better than an old machine!! Quality and built to last!

[@Badgerworkshop]

I agree

[@videotheclips]

Good purchase, look forward to new videos using this.

[@bigpete4227]

That’s one hell of a bit of kit and even though the motor must of cost a fair chunk of quids and pennies, it was clearly the right choice.

[@Badgerworkshop]

It was not cheap but it’s an investment

[@negotiableaffections]

One serious piece of kit, especially where milling your own/recycled timber is concerned. Congratulations Matt a super buy.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you. It will cone in very handy

[@datonaone]

Can't beat the old machinery over engineered zero plastic well done Matt first class job .ps never mind looking for an old work lamp make one 👍

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@ΚΑΤΕΡΙΝΑΠΙΤΣΙΟΥ]

That is a beast !!!!! How cool is to know and understand what a machine needs to be fixed . Always amazed by people like you !!!!!!!!! You are the coolest Badger !!!!!!!!!

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you very much

[@stanwest3529]

In the spirit of there's a hole in my bucket dear liza ...make it higher dear badger make it higher (the door)

[@tworiversworkshop6111]

An excellent 3 part review from Badger Engineering......er Workshop. Well done Matt, totally brilliant!

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you very much

[@trep53]

Now that’s what I call a bandsaw, hats off to you. Great addition to your shop it looks very much at home there.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you very much

[@BischBaschBosch]

Awesome job Matt. Being able to resaw large timbers will be such a bonus. I used those belts on the Coronet. They're great Looks like you need to take another link or 2 out of each though. They'll stretch a bit after your first few uses too. Great series mate. Really enjoyed it. Bit jealous!

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you.

[@STANWoodwork]

That is a proper old tool. The black beast with orange tyres. Nice one 👍👍

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you very much

[@essentialhandyman]

Wow, I can't believe how easily that tore through the different timbers. A serious bit of kit!

[@Badgerworkshop]

Yes it should really come in handy

[@justinfiorini3142]

Its 3 hp. My 2hp with a dull ass bladed just slides through wood.

[@briansworkshop01]

Hi Matt I new this would be great machine and some great videos Fantastic job and thank s for sharing 🍺🍺👍👍😷

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you Brian

[@thegentlemanmaker]

That's an amazing saw and a terrific restoration. That blade is like a light saber!

[@Badgerworkshop]

It does cut very well

[@sidfinley6087]

It was a lot of fun watching this multi-part project ... please do follow-up with the 'belt cage creation' episode!

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you. Will do next week

[@darrenpaulgreen]

Loving Matt the Mechanic, I definitely think you were an engineer in a previous life! Scared the f*** out of me when you were taking it all apart, but good on you for having the guts and patience for a project like this. Not something I’d ever attempt myself but strangely therapeutic to watch.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you Darren

[@andymarriott8150]

that's a beautiful beast of a machine its been great watching this series

[@paulwhitemore2610]

Great job ! What a machine, you'll be able to slice your own trees on that thing!👏👏👍👍

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you.

[@SheWhoWoodworks]

Fantastic job! Your level of patience is astounding. 👍

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you.

[@johnfithian-franks8276]

Hi Matt, a grate machine you have there, if at any time you want rid of it, send me an email and I will arrange to pick it up. Just think if you gave that one to me you would be able to look for another band saw to do up (well I can dream), but I am sure that would look better in my shed. Grate video and restore, the older machines are much better than the new ones.

[@Badgerworkshop]

It’s my new favourite tool

[@mmanut]

On start up the link belts show they might need to be tighter. Maybe remove another link on each one. I use those belts on all my tools. GOOD LUCK, Vinny 🇺🇸

[@jlmfoy365]

What a great piece of kit Matt, terrific addition to the arsenal. Regards Jim.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you Jim

[@robertharris8106]

Nice restoration job! Really great to see an old tool being reused.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you. I do love old tools

[@reginalawson8008]

I agree with Robert, so many great tools are just being junked. They can be retro fitted with time, effort and thought. My question is was the price comparable to what you thought you would have to spend on it, not including the elbow grease? Thanks for sharing :)

[@Badgerworkshop]

It would be much cheaper to get a new 20” saw but saving money was other point.

[@markrowland5393]

Brilliant. Really enjoyed watching this.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@gavjav1]

Brilliant restoration job Matt, you made it look so easy lol

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@wokohedgehogs]

Superb job, lovely old machine

[@Thesidingsworkshop]

You should be proud of what you have achieved matt 👏 👍 make a wrap over cage for the pulleys and belts using some 1nch weld mesh its super easy to dress into the desired shape and strong.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you. Cage will be next week

[@Thom4123]

Awesome job, gotta love the old bandsaws!

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@MrGeroth]

That’s one awesome saw. Thanks for sharing.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@jyvben1520]

[@talkingbeers]

You’ll be on The Repair Shop next Matt - lovely job!

[@Badgerworkshop]

Haha thank you

[@homewurks1]

What a beast!

[@eyuptony]

Hi Matt. Great job on the vintage bandsaw aka re-saw it made short work of that thick solid Oak beam. Very nice looking saw as well it fits in superb against the backdrop of the old period looks of your timber framed corrugated garage. Enjoyed watching. Tony

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you Tony

[@rodrigomattiello5879]

amazing machine and restoration job!!!

[@MrBez007]

Great machine mat Think dust collection is the only downside of old machines

[@Badgerworkshop]

Yes very true

[@graveurgraveur2691]

Well done, yet again!

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@lv_woodturner3899]

Nice restoration. Interesting that the open side of the bandsaw is on the left. Makes me wonder when the convention changed for the open side to be on the right. I got a smile from the single ball bearing rear guide. Clever way to use a single ball bearing. The dust is mostly on the exit of the blade from the work. The gullets of the teeth collect the sawdust then it falls out as the blade exits the work. In my bandsaw I am getting good dust removal with just the dust port underneath my trunnion. A new blade and a 3HP motor should easily cut through wood. Dave.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you. Yes the left side ones are rare

[@Mr2at]

This has added very real productivity infrastructure to your workshop.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Yes it really has

[@michaelevans1658]

What a great job Matt going to come in handy.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

She's a beast!!

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you Keith

[@johncole9964]

Congrats, nice bandsaw and I'm sure it will be well used. If it was me, I think I'd have painted it a different color and probably sprayed the paint, not brushed.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thanks

[@davidshortall9302]

All three videos were brilliant, Thank you Matt.There's an old band saw where I collect hay for my donkeys. Your videos have me tempted to find out is it for sale :))

[@Badgerworkshop]

It’s always worth asking

[@howardbecdove9780]

Brilliant, thanks for sharing.

[@Badgerworkshop]

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@barryroberts6470]

Fantastic video Matt, i said in a previous video that i was looking forward to the referb of this Old Bandsaw, and i was really happy to see what a great job you have done. Judging by the depth of cut that you now have and what cuts you have shown, it's going to be fun seeing the projects that you will be making using this new Toy. Stay Safe, Barry (Wirral)

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you. Can’t wait to use it more

[@JohnMadeit]

Great work Matt. It's nice seeing some old machine being brought back to life

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you John

[@CoolGrandpa]

Lovely old machine. Great job. Lignum Vitae might be better for your blade guides. You could maybe get hold of an old lawn bowl and use some of that.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@bobleeswoodshop7919]

Very nice addition to your shop!🤗

[@Badgerworkshop]

It going to be so useful

[@ianthornton1642]

Looks great, well done 👍

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@usaf4dbt]

My grandfather had and used an old bandsaw in his business. His bandsaw had a brake on it.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Sounds a good machine

[@anirishwoodworkersdiary2137]

Brilliant video Matt love the bandsaw I’m so not jealous 🤪 I think rob cosman has a video on fixing a dust port just under the table using 50mm waste pipe brilliant video well done 👍

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@ianduthie5155]

Really enjoyed this Matt. Great to bring old tools back into use. True what they say “they don’t make ‘em like that anymore”. Great re-saw capacity. A real game changer. Well done.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you. They certainly do not

Really nice series this :D Are you thinking shop sawn veneer? Add a drum sander and a vacuum bag and away you are :D

[@Badgerworkshop]

I would love a drum sander

[@nicandkathy]

great job!

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@N4CHO_]

Great job on the band saw, It turned out really nice! You can get some magnetic LED sewing machine lights that you can adjust to get light exactly where you want it. I put one on my drill press, both my band saws and scroll saw. They're the best cheap addition I made to those tools. Awesome videos, cheers!

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

Wow - what a beast of an addition to the shop! Lovely resto there Matt, you must be well chuffed!

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you. Yes I am very pleased

[@JohnColgan.]

Very nice, lovely clean cuts. Great restoration, shame you're stuck in the the garage with it and not the workshop !! Is there an extension plate adjuster (like car fanbelt adj) for the V drive belt. Cute belt linkage, never seen that for machinery before!

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you. You just remove links from the belt

[@andrewnicholl8070]

Great restoration, try Rob Cosman for home made dust extraction fitting!

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@delcat8168]

An oily wood like Lignum or Ipe might have been better... ? Impressive cut on that Oak, great machine :-)

[@Badgerworkshop]

Yes that would be better

[@stanwest3529]

I watched carefully ...still no ginger cat helping you....the machine looks majestic and its cutting capacity is awesome great job the answer to the sawdust problem is simple push it outside and let the wind blow it away....ha ha only joking .....or was I.

[@Badgerworkshop]

If only it would fit through the door

[@StuffIMade]

really enjoyed this restoration series!
