This is just so amazing, and the good thing is it has been recorded for all time for all to see and appreciate.

This is just woodworking/shipbuilding at its best!

Two things . Number 1 Lou I wish I knew %10 of what you know . Number 2 Working with such a well made machine is AWESOME . I really wish they made equipment like that now . And I haven't seen any new videos so I went back to this one . I really miss your videos . Hope all is well . Thank you very very much for sharing your videos .

Im so glad I found your channel, Ive just listened to Jimmy Direstas latest video where he has mentioned you, this brings back a lot of amazing memories for me, my Grand Father used to hand build timber Halversen Cruises over 70 years ago here in Sydney Australia.

I am restoring one of those saws, one of the last ones Crescent made (1945). Very helpful to see this one working, as I am going to have to fabricate a couple parts. Thanks Lou!

[@richardbohlingsr3490]

That ship saw is a beast for sure.

[@MartinFutter70]

you can't beat old technology

[@utuberine]

that is one hell of a nice machine, expertly used and knowledgably explained. Thanks mate.

[@jamesconner8275]

Agree. That's the mother of all band saws!

[@W4ABN]

certainly don't see many pieces of fine machinery like that very often. Really enjoyed seeing it in use.

[@AEKarnes]

I love your work and your teaching. Thank you.

[@haroldschultz5864]

Marvelous piece of equipment Lou .

[@aserta]

Gorgeous machine! They used to make such machines back then.

Very nice work!!!👌💯👍

Lou, I ain't trying to be dumb, but I'm just not understanding. As cool, calm, and collected as you are with your explanation, it's above me.

[@TerryPullen]

Thumbs up and Subbed. Absolutely amazing!

[@ChathamJackTar]

Excellent. Thank you.

[@thomasarussellsr]

Beautiful tool. I have to admit, I'm kind of jealous.

[@thisisyourcaptainspeaking2259]

I dunno if you've tried using interpolation software, but I built a small boat recently and found an old routine I'd written 20 years ago quite useful.

[@robertmcgurk7587]

It's amazing how simple this process is made to look. Lou's expertise belies the true skill level needed. I look at the video and think I can do this, easy peasy, not!

[@royboy3597]

Cool Stuff, way beyond my ability

[@couerl]

Amazing.

[@cherryblossomforge6896]

The only one in existence? I'll have to remedy that situation. You see what you did Lou? Now you got my gears grinding and I won't stop till I figure a way to do a compound rhombus cut on heavy timber.

[@mcjok88]

Cool

[@jeffbenefield3400]

Sampson Boat CO. uses one of these on Tally Ho project here on KZbin

[@BigFiveJack]

Please, If I want to use a bandsaw to resaw a 2"x6"x12 foot board to create a plank that is 12 feet long, 6 inches tall and 1/4 inch thick, do I line up the board on the fence such that as I push the board to make the cut, the thickest part of the original board will be between the fence and the bade, with the 1/4 inch thick portion being on the "outside" of the blade? Or should I do the cut the opposite way, meaning the 1/4 inch "slice" will develop between the fence and the blade, with the THICKER remainder of the blank being "outside" of the blade? Thank you very much!!!!!

[@msolbakken]

No blade guard on that bottom wheel? You guys are nuts.

[@allandocater6296]

Quick easy access to many projects with Woodglut plans.

[@jamescaison7694]

Makes me nervous seeing your assistant in close proximity to the large wheel on that saw.

[@bushratbeachbum]

Id stay away from workshops then champ. Safety is set by the operator (s) of a machine or task

[@jamescaison7694]

@@bushratbeachbum been in workshops all my life. Was an operations auditor for GE. People trip, have medical events....... Let a Workman's Comp Insurance see such conditions and see what happens ( for good reason). Champ
