DiResta Bandsaw Resto w Hand Tool Rescue

This band saw (1947') was given to me by a farmer in North Carolina. It was in the open air yard for many years, unused. Eric from Hand Tool Rescue came and we gave it new life!
We each did what we do best! I fabricated some parts we needed and Eric broke down the parts to each washer and screw for total and complete cleaning.. and put it back together!

jimmydiresta Incredible Video! ♥️♥️♥️ How many hours of work?

[@RochaKRG]

jimmydiresta menuda joya de sierra de banda jimmy, ya me gustaria tenerla

[@TJSWOODWORKINGSHOP]

I'm subscribed to him to my brother awesome channel to :)

[@joeydubbs763]

jimmydiresta Why don't you just media blast the tin's & stand? So much easier...

[@domingogarcia4953]

Jimmy super stoked because im watching a new show "Making It" and i see you. Make me super happy. I met Nick Offerman in Monterey 2 years ago and i asked if he has seen your videos. He looks me dead in the eye and says" Yup" and then giggles. Thank you for all the wonderful videos. I watch them with my daughters

[@WesleyTreat]

I love the juxtaposition of watching you restore an old tool to like-new condition using tools I've seen you acquire new that now look well worn.

[@Jammer3333]

I watched Hand Tool Rescue’s video first, so this feels like the behind the scenes/directors cut of his video. It’s nice to get to see different aspects of the project. Awesome job fellas.

[@evilbrat5376]

One hell of a collaboration on this bandsaw - Now have to go to Eric's channel and watch it again! Finished product - sweet and It works!

[@bulkhead]

This edit is so striking, so revealing of a person that doesn't speak in his videos. You are a great interviewer Jimmy, I would love to see more of this style.

[@HandToolRescue]

We had a lot of fun! Thank you for inviting me in my time of need. Sorry I tea-bagged all your tools... Check out my rescue of this tool here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKKbYWOjoN9oo6c

[@jimmydiresta]

i took pictures of you sleeping.

[@heru-deshet359]

There's nothing like a beautiful tool coming back to life.

[@robzilla2165]

I was at the local woodworker store and saw an elderly gent and his son in law asking about bandsaw. I couldn't help but listen to the salesman trying to get this dude to pony up on a tiny Rikon saw for $700. I had 2 14 in Deltas at home, one to restore (worked perfectly) and one that I use so when they were leaving I told him I had what he needed and I'd let it go for a mundo, 30 minutes later this guy had a 1944 Delta 14 in band saw in his truck. This video j7st reminded me of that guy and the amazing intarsia he makes, great video thanks for posting.

[@PhilVandelay]

Great restoration, tinyhands crack me up every time but Eric is quite the joker too

[@ineedineediwantiwant]

what we have here is a guy who likes to return old tools to their original condition and bring out the beauty they possess and another guy who likes to improve old ideas (tools) to make them better and more unique - welcome to our wonderful world : )

[@ExNotesRec]

Didnt realize how much I like restoration videos until now. Really like this new format that incorporates a little of an interview too. Thanks Jimmy

[@chf1949]

Fun to watch. I really enjoyed it. I've got one my late dad bought in 1950/51 with the badge marked Delta, without the Rockwell. Original tyres, blade, plastic knobs, mobile stand and casters, work light and no rust. Always kept in a dry garage. Still runs great today.

[@waynepiaskowski7655]

Good show sirs. Its always good to see another tool saved from the scrap yard. You made a good team!

[@brendank5413]

I like the way the video was put together, some verbal interludes mixed into the more classic time lapse

[@TheOneAndOnlyTBash]

Love the two different perspectives restoring the same item.

[@johncraig2684]

very enjoyable 15.52 mins watching very talented guys...thank you.

[@felixfromnebraska8648]

I love all of your restore videos Jimmy, and Eric you are amazing also. Thanks for sharing.

[@HandToolRescue]

Thank you!

[@drstrangefart]

MAN this was a GREAT collaboration idea. Between HTR and Scout Crafter I'm now investing in 100 year old wrenches to load my shop up with after a minimal cleanup with a wire brush and buffing wheels.

[@JeffMarxWoodworking]

The tiny hands still make me smile every time. One of those precious few things that never seems to get old.

[@mustie1]

l get to watch it twice,

[@johnedwards3005]

i was just going to say only one missing is Mustie1 lol

[@nn2380]

If the Bandsaw had a carburetor, Mustie would have been there!

[@mercuryrising9174]

Too funny mustie1 good shit

[@Sonal_Mobile]

Love the collaboration! Also loved that another bandsaw was used in the restoration of this bandsaw.

[@jbratt]

I have restored two of those Deltas from the 40s vintage. Not only do you get a better appreciation of the machine, you really learn how to tune it properly and end up with an awesome tool. Thanks you for posting theses great videos!

[@greypoet2]

Great shot of Rasputin at the end. Well played Eric!

[@brianbarham7077]

Using the weight of the motor to tension the belt was so smart. I would have never thought of that. I will save that idea for a future project

[@andrewstanton9715]

Jimmy with long hair was amazing 😂. Those brass knobs are nice. cool restoration guys.

[@Jawaidification]

👍 Liked the exchange of gifts between the two of you 😊

[@icychill105]

a collaboration i didnt know i wanted until now, and a new use for jimmy's pick

[@josivammelo5089]

It was very good indeed, that is a restoration of respect, we need professionals like you here in Brazil, my congratulations

[@airwolf28]

It's Alive!! IT'S ALIVE!! Great job you two!!

[@kaaare]

It seem like it could be a really cool way to interview someone like Erik, just having him talk about why he does what he does while rescuing an old machine! :)

[@arkencraft8095]

that top with the ice pick while drilling is a utter life saver

[@sgsax]

Nice resto! That thing cut like a beast when you got it up and running. Time to watch Eric's version now.

[@KeithDecent]

awesome! meeting eric was a blast and being able to to watch him do his (incredibly meticulous) thing was really impressive. Also I had a great time helping out!

[@aserta]

Old tools are so neatly made, and this isn't even old, old, and it still is better than what you can buy today. I mean, look at those legs, if they did legs properly, like that today, the corporate CEOs wouldn't have money for half a meter of gas...

[@matthewjohnston1400]

My two favourite KZbinrs. Cool collaboration.

[@thereders4238]

I can watch this over and over. It's awesome to see old tools get new life. Great collaboration.

[@SparkyP320]

My 2 favorite channels on KZbin; together. Great!

[@andreapietropaolo1982]

san2cci me too

[@neilsmith7936]

@san2cci You'll enjoy AvE as well!

[@amral-faqee9482]

I’ve had such a shitty day then I come home to this, my nights been made! Couldn’t ask for a better collab!

[@maggs131]

That was an intense and in-depth interview. Lol love both you guys now

[@yokomzare201]

Great job to both of You! Thanks for the show.

[@danwatson7038]

Wow, what an outstanding restoration and video. Very talented guys.

[@robertbamford8266]

The baby bandsaw. Nice collaboration.

[@skydcontrol]

Here from HTR - super cool to see both videos of the same project. I'm mildly addicted to tool restoration at the moment. 😆

[@MikeTheMaker1]

Old things where built with such quality and care. Imagine 20 years from now trying to restore a plastic tool from today?

[@sirpainter1]

Funny how 2 separate people's channels I subscribe to have a video that came out at nearly the same time. Awesome as usual.

[@montabarouette6067]

The dream team! Both at the same time nothing can stop you! Good job guys.👌😎👌😎

[@ambroscustom]

Mr. Jimmy you are looking like a rockstar in that picture.

[@acny11419]

The dynamic tool duo. Two of my favorites together.

[@st7650]

Another great video the scent of rust reminds me of old spice if it hadn’t been for old spice a lot of us wouldn’t had been born. Lol thanks for posting another great video. I have learned so much from watching your videos. I took wood working in high school and after watching your maker videos got me back in to a hobby that I’ve been missing for years really enjoy making things. Great to be a maker

[@GeneSimonalle]

Jimmy I really liked your interview questions over the work video. It's a great idea and was really interesting.

[@knippo]

Amazing job guys! I really missed these restoration videos!!!

[@mrb4408]

I just love the little hands!! Makes me 😆 every time. Great job guys. Thanks.

[@jean-marc7999]

little hands are awesome, I concur !

[@UberSamurai5140]

Two of my favorite KZbinrs collaborating makes my day a little better. Someone tell Eric to make more fucking videos.

[@seansysig]

Now that is a collaboration of talents unprecedented in the rejuvenation of tools from a gone by era. I wish I had that saw functional but yet a work of art.

[@WoodenCreationz]

So frekin cool!!! I want to go restore my grandma back to 1950!!!!! Whipping up a Big bathtub of Evaporust right now...

[@Syrkyth]

I can only imagine that Eric has a phenomenal memory, eidetic memory even, to be able to put these things back together. I mean, photos/media help too but damned if I can barely put together an IKEA side table without it ending up inside-out.

[@PaulMeyette]

Oh man! I absolutely love this. Like you Jimmy, the bandsaw is probably my favorite machine. In 7th grade shop it was my first exposure to power tools (other than hand tools like drills, etc ) This old DELTA is gorgeous, what a machine! Great resto!

[@johnsoncustomcarpentry6844]

Embrace the old (tools) craftsman.... so much to learn from the “ancient ones”!

[@joelmadrigal3153]

Finally I get to see two of my favorite people on one show! Totally awesome

[@ChrisUhlik]

Sweet collab. Love the personalities behind the busy hands.

[@theburris]

This was a fantastic collaboration!

[@molaisonmaker6896]

The saw came out amazing! Really like the brass knobs!

[@ecrusch]

Another life for that saw. Good work boys.

[@MakingStuff]

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

[@Martin-yl5zb]

Nice video guys!!! Great seeing thhat saw being given a 2nd life.

[@FullSendPrecision]

Finally replaced the brass insert on the bandsaw!!! I've been watching for years and every time I see it I have wondered when that would get swapped out.

[@FullSendPrecision]

Oh wait....

[@fynbo1007]

Love to see you two work together, thank you for sharing your amazing story. God bless you and your family

[@joshhibbs_nola]

I LOVE IT! I love watching old things being restored and being used again. 👍🏼

[@TilmanBaumann]

This guys sense of humor is growing on me so bad.

[@HandToolRescue]

Sorry.

[@GediSpock]

The opening demo was good enough for any shopping channel. Beautiful stuff. The arm wafting was incredible. I’ve been looking at making a bandsaw. So this was great to see a proper metal one being dismantled and reassembled. Great job.

[@randymagnum6680]

Dream team collab guys. And the irony of needing a bandsaw to make parts for a bandsaw...

[@MrLebedya]

У этого агрегата -Душа воспрянула!!!! From Russia with respect!!!!!

[@MustardMade]

What a hot piece of ace that bandsaw is!! Seriously it makes my grizzly 14 inch look like a Walmart special. Those brass knobs were killer. Nice job fellas

[@nordyfamily]

So relaxing and satisfying to restore like that. Keep up the great work

[@PeteGeniella]

The patina of the metal looks amazing with the brass knobs! Nice work!

[@mikeboone4425]

Oh man this brings back pain. Back in the late 60s I started restoring this very cool old band saw I got in a trade .Some one had just painted it with some almost clotted paint .So I hade this Brain fart, I'll just take the torch and get rid of this paint will just as the paint started to go so did the blade cover my fantastic ornate cover was you guessed it zinc I still have the puddle I let dry on the floor drilled a hole in hung up to just remind my self how smart I was not . Happy trails just a story from an old fart that loves you channel.

[@HandToolRescue]

Oh no! haha

[@t.j.postal8309]

ending thank yous were AWESOME!

[@brulew976]

I have this same model I bought from an 87 year old cabinet maker in Chicago about 18 years ago for $150. It was 3 phase so got a new motor and replaced the tires. My model has the built in light with the wiring through the cast upper arm but no extension. Great machine.

[@HandToolRescue]

Would love to find the light for this!

[@JeffGloverArts]

Love it! I have access to an old saw - not a Delta, but still solid - and this gives me hope! Thanks, guys!

[@benny5190]

Love the way you bring things back to life great video

[@fusommol]

Great video and people coming together to make the bandsaw look great!

[@MakeBrooklyn]

That came out great ... love watching htr resurrect a lovely old beast like that! You are looking good btw! The weight loss is showing for sure. From this day forward you shall be known as Slimmy Diresta. Cheers!

[@Throughthebulkhead]

Great job, great idea with the clear coat finish! one small thing, don't forget to make a lock pin to go on the outboard end of the table slot, if you look at the edge you will see the hole for it, it is to keep the table from flexing on the slot, easy to turn a taper pin with a knurled end on the lathe.

[@johnwilcox1302]

Looks like you two work well together. Hope to see that happen again. I love the way those brass knobs look with the raw clean metal. Outstanding video.

[@WildmanTech]

Nice touch with the brass knobs!

[@suhairimahmood1984]

What a treat!!! Both my fave youtuber on 1 screen... Lots of love from Singapore....

[@stevesammut499]

Brilliant collaboration.

[@dangdiggity9916]

Really love the brass knobs you made, looks amazing! as well as the rest of the project ofc!

[@Vaultguides1]

The lathe shots were awesome!

[@Isthatyoudermot]

This is like a 1970s short documentary. The traffic noise makes it for me.

[@VAXHeadroom]

I just picked up one of these bandsaws ... that has been completely spray painted including all the threaded parts, bearings, trunion base... Here we go :)

[@SimonMurrayPhuket]

Lovely to see you both working together as I follow you both - great restoration!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Quite an impressive resaw at the end there. Nice job on the restore!

[@juleswebb1885]

You and Erick had lots of fun. He has very creative eyebrows : )

[@Kris_at_WhiteOaksFarm]

Oh Guy Mosh! That was beautiful. It helps if you have the tools to make the dream. I'm getting there...

[@Lastmanontrack]

looking great as always with you 2 guys! keep up the good work!!!

[@youceftaferguennit2596]

i hope to see more videos ,between those two amazing artists.

[@ManCrafting]

Glad you finally got this posted. Eric is a hoot. Nice job!

[@tyrellthomas4990]

I've come to the conclusion that you can not make a bad video! Love you!

[@HandToolRescue]

Challenge accepted!

[@billqqq]

Beautiful work - doing great justice to a great tool, and it only took about 15 minutes! :) I picked up a tote (225 gallons) of Evaporust for free off of CL a couple years ago - fantastic stuff...
