Restoring my grandfathers table saw

My grandfather left me his table saw after he passed. I have a lot of great memories in his workshop learning to use this saw. I restored it and will keep it in the centre of my shop

[@Terkinstein]

Beautiful job sir, you've honored your grandfather well!!!

[@jameshughes1190]

Outstanding video! As a grandfather myself, I really appreciate that you value the time you spent with him.

[@ramongibbs8692]

Your granddad should be proud of you, hopefully one of my grands follow as you did. Congratulations with honor

[@GT_Racer347]

Fantastic video. Fantastic result! Gave me that "a HA!" moment too on how to remove rust on large surfaces!!!!

[@steveknight8870]

I’m sure he be proud to see what you did with his saw, and even prouder to see what you do with it. Came up a treat.

[@MarkSusak]

Thank you Steve

[@BuiltByChris]

I hope it brings you many years of enjoyment like I'm sure it did your grandfather. Love the video. Don't be a stranger.

[@MarkSusak]

Thanks Chris.

Nice to see you back Mark, always great to see things restored and used again, rather than just thrown out.

[@MarkSusak]

Hi Greg! good to hear from you! Thank you

[@adventuredog1864]

Beautiful video. I was given an old table saw that needs refurbishment and this video helped give me a lot of ideas. Enjoy making new memories on yours!

[@sabicsepregi6521]

What a beautiful thing to do to honor him! Nice saw too!

[@alanmcwilliams4264]

You probably have done your grandpa proud, great to see an old tool brought back to life

[@thegolfnut812]

What was that foam cleaner you used? Great that you referbished you GF's TS. Take pride that you have some of his tools.

[@CowboyButler]

Great work on the restoration!

[@mvukkaz4899]

Great work Mark

[@energybasics]

Hey thanks for video!! I have and table saw and this is pure inspiration

[@paulangus715]

Great to see you posting content Mark. The Table saw cleaned up really well. Thank you for sharing! Hope you get some time to enjoy using the Saw Mark!

[@mikeherbst1825]

That rip fence looks just like the Exact-I-Rip I got with my Craftsman contractor series saw. Very nice & precise. T-slots are so handy for jigs, patterns etc.

[@johncole9964]

Good Job. Hope it gives you many years of enjoyment. I think you'll find a single edge razor blade works better than a screwdriver to clean gunk off a metal surface.

[@Bill.L.Carroll]

Sorry for your loss, mate. I think your Grandfather would be proud of the job you did! 👌🏾 Had to chuckle when that wheel hit the ground, oops. 😆

[@MarkSusak]

Thanks Bill. I was in a state of confusion haha. Completely missed the wheel

[@Bill.L.Carroll]

@@MarkSusak Think we all have moments like that, mate... 🥴😏😆

[@leedobson30]

V good clip. Great to hear from you again!! What was the Foamy Cleaning spray?

[@MarkSusak]

Thank you Lee. I'll be uploading on the regular. the foam is an automotove degreaser

[@kuehnel16]

What kind of spray foam cleaner did you use 🤔

[@AlejandroMartinez-dn6sr]

😭😭😭👍💪

[@mitziseyfferdt3866]

What did you use to clean the motor?

[@MarkSusak]

I used a spray degreaser

[@denniswhite166]

I can hear your grand-dad saying Well Done!!! I can also hear him saying never push wood on a table saw with your hand, use a push stick!!!

[@MarkSusak]

thank you for the kind words. i agree with the push stick. can't use the saw without all 10 digits!

[@danluther9078]

Every time someone cleans a table saw top with a flat-blade screwdriver, God kills a puppy...

[@danbumgarner1057]

In my experience rattle can paint on the throat plate will rub off on your work.

[@0lliemckinnis849]

It would have been EXTREMELY HELPFUL IF HE HAD SAID WHAT HE WAS USING. The video itself won't help me restore my classic Craftsmans table saw.

[@MarkSusak]

Degreaser, vinegar, variety of coarse pads and a lot of time. I hope your craftsman comes out looking new! It’s super rewarding such a good feeling
