“…it’s part of being an adult.”
Awesomeness Extreme Professor!
Good lord.... I got a workout just watching you put that tire on.
Wow! I was grunting for you when appropriate... good on you Mr. Rucker!
I feel ashamed of myself that I kept imagining some kind of Wile E. Coyote moment while I watched Keith stretch that giant rubber band tire around the wheel. If that tire came in a box marked "Acme", I wouldn't have touched it with a 10' pole! Glad it came out OK with no injuries!!
Looking good Keith!
That top wheel is beautiful. The change is remarkable from start to gorgeous.
Better and better!
Man, I was itching to run in and give you an extra pair of hands with that tyre!
Hello Keith myself and my wife agree your looking slim good on you my friend regards Alan and Ella from the UK.
When the tire slipped off im not sure "shoot"would have been the first word out of my mouth.😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you Keith!
I'm so proud to give you a thumbs up, Brother! Great video and a great job!
Hey Keith,
I emailed you some time ago about my own bandsaw (full) restoration. Well, it's finished :). Just wanted to give you guys a quick look at it.
ruclips.net/video/x0xfh2VlQVk/видео.html
this was a test procedure without a safety casing around the spinny bits, just some wood hastily screwed in front of the wheels so you will excuse me for standing to the side for that first test cut, it's scary stuff to have such a big machine come to life. This 34" wheel diameter saw was produced somewhere around 1924 in Belgium and was originally steam-powered (and belt driven). It was converted to electricity around 10 years later and is still running on that same 380 volt, 4hp motor from back then, though I had the bearings and cables replaced. I re-used the belt drive for authenticity and because it's still in very good condition. The blade length is about 216 inch and I'm now running a 34mm 1,15tpi carbide tipped ripper blade on it that literally cuts logs like they were made of cardboard. The frame is solid cast iron and the entire machine weighs almost a metric tonne. The wheels are lined with cork rather than rubber, which was common back then and the table can actually swivel up to 45 degrees. The only thing I haven't fixed yet is restoring the fence on the table because, well, parts are hard to come by 99 years later and I'm not much of a metalworker myself.
I'm not much of a video editor so I don't make fancy vlogs about it like you guys do, but I'm now in the process of finishing up a restoration on a 1915 square hole punch machine, which is actually manually operated, and I have a similarly old lathe coming up after that.
"Spinny bits" I love the use of precise, technical terminology. Seriously, that is an excellent restoration. Thank you for posting the video.
What a beauty! Thanks for sharing.
That is a beautiful restoration. Thanks for the link,
Nice work on the saw, it came out great. No need for cinematography, the quick video clearly speaks for itself though I'm not a fan of the vertical format but that is personal. You have a really neat project, hope it gives you years of enjoyment.
Saw is looking great. You could have used Mike and Clarke both there when you were wrestling those wheels on!
Perhaps once the saw is commissioned, if a slot can't go in the floor and it needs to remain on blocks, a stage could be built around it to locally simulate the wheel-in-floor effect. Kudos if the materials used for the stage are prepared on the saw it surrounds.
The tireless wheels looked so nice, it's a pity the rubber tires couldn't be translucent.
Looks like ya lost some weight Keith, lookin healthy!
To all that are unaware, when you are applying tape that is temporary in nature, if you bend the last half inch or so of the end over onto itself, either on the roll, or where it's applied to, it will facilitate easier removal, as it makes a pull tab.
We use this technique at work in preparation for power washing equipment or surfaces, or for painting.
No shit!!!........What a smart guy you are. How did we all not know this??
Your lookin well keith, 💪
I cant wait for Jimmy to come and pick this up just to see the look on his face!
Thanks for sharing 👍
Most excellent.
My first thought when I saw your plugging those holes over the bolts- You might have ground out a dish in the ends of the wood plugs with a dremel and a drum sander to get deeper engagement of the plug around those dome-headed bolts? esp on some of the really thin ones?
Also: Watching you wrestle that tire, How you manage to do that kind of work on Camera without cursing is impressive! when that tire popped off it would be a whole different video had it been me... WELL DONE SIR!
You are turning that machine into a work of art Keith! Anyone would be proud to own that.
Thank you Keith, you are part of my Australian Fiday night !
Hehehehe! "It's the adult thing to do." Unbelievably wondrous work you do, Keith. Love it.
Yeah that was excellent 😀
Not so sure that today's youth even knows what "adult thing to do" means. 😵💫
JImmy's saw is getting huge. You'll have to disassemble it to get it out the door.
Looking good
Hi Keith. Watching you bring the bottom wheel back into shape was like witnessing poetry in motion. Your attention to detail was enjoyable and satisfying to watch. Thanks, also the way your gantry so gracefully raised, suspended and manoeuvred the heavy wheel into place was great. Thoroughly fascinated by the whole process. Thanks again.
That is one massive bandsaw!
Thanks for sharing
"Part of being an adult" spoken with total disdain... Love it! 😁 With you on that one, mate...
Hi Keith, having quite recently spent over 100 joyless hours on painting in my efforts to
restore my house, I was particularly delighted with your musing about things one does albeit
there's no fun in them. It never struck me so far that this may simply be
part of being an adult, but I guess you've hit the nail on the head!
Many thanks for all the content in your channel. Your highly entertaining
videos really excel! Cheers Carsten
I just put a tire on a wheelchair rim. So I felt for you.
Keith, I follow you and look forward to learning a get deal.
I too become concerned when your health is poor. But I do think you should where a dust mask when grinding. Your lungs are a blessed gift.
Been looking forward to this one
. Awesome video! 😀
That Bandsaw is looking remarkable!!!
what a delightful restoration job Kieth love your work
Good lord what a behemoth that thing is.
Nice
I'm impressed. No quick fixes here!
Beautiful work Keith. Very innovative way to handle the wheels. She will not only be a fine tool, but a work of art. Thanks for sharing.
Bless you keith I admit I was laughing out loud at the tire fitting process and I'm sure there was a very mild expletive issued from that gentle mouth of yours. I would be cussing like a sailor 😂😂❤
Me too, a "third-hand" would certainly have been helpful with that endeavor.
@@tomnorman5461 Or even a fourth hand, like an extra pair.
Keith I'm particularly impressed here because I have never changed a tire on my bandsaw without a great deal of swearing and mine has only got little old 14" wheels. I can't imagine the kind of swearing that would be involved if you'd assigned me to put them tires on. You're a good egg and a patient fellow.
That is one hell of a bandsaw thanks Kieth
Great video Keith. That is a very nice (and huge) bandsaw. Your craftsmanship is second to none.
Bobby is amazing to work with and full of knowledge.
The pin stripe seems very important. I keep thinking with the scale of it and you standing next to it that you need your pin striped rail road engineer overall on when you work on it.
Congratulations Mr Keith, your work done with total dedication inspires us to be even better in what we do in our day to day
Keith, your talent and expertise are amazing.
Best way to start my day! Thank you so much for your videos.
Those wheels look great!
Hope Jimmy appreciates that a job like this would otherwise have cost him and an arm a leg. Very gracious of you to do this. Sure you get recognition on his channel but in my opinion, worth a lot more than that.
I think Keith really enjoys it, he wouldnt take a job like this it on as well as still coming back to it after some time if he didn't
Another great episode! Thank you Keith!
Like the bandsaw series !
Another good one. Thanks Keith.
that was a struggle getting that tyre on the wheel phew!
I would have jumped in and helped you gladly sir! Great job! I would just add one more thing to my comment share this with your friends! This is just great content!
What a beautiful machine! Excelent job there, Keith 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😃❗
Very nice. That acient wood responded well to a little care. As you started I feared that you might paint it. The natural wood really adds to the character of the machine.
With all the mass of those two wheels, the motor starting torque required will be substantial and probably even dim the lights in the neighborhood.
thank you Keith
As always Keith is doing the most fantastic video on a job that most of us never have been near to do. He is always explaining the the magical facts on how it works and should be done. I just love that guy and I have learned a lot from his videos through time. // Keep up the fantastic spirit to educate and I will surely watch all your content and the awful commercials so you can get something from RUclips.... Micke/Sweden
This is starting to look very good. WE (lol) have been working on that band saw a long time !
Good video
☹🇬🇧
The wheels look gorgeous! A pity that you couldn't get the 3'' rubber, I can only think that with the time it took you to reach this point in the restoration had you ordered those back when you started with the project (and knowing you were going to need them) you would have got those by now.
Hindsight.
I've only installed tires on much smaller Delta band saws but what helped me was to mount a heat gun so that it was blowing warm air onto the tire. That gave the tire a bit more stretch. My $0.02.
I used a hot water bath to soften up the tires before installation. Works well.
Keith, it's good to see that you found a use for otherwise useless ratchet straps. I've seen many of these lying along the roadways, and know why that is.
Thank you for sharing. Enjoyed, now that's a band saw.👍
great work Mr. Rucker
the last time I changed the tires on my bandsaw , I soaked them in almost boiling water to make them stretchy
Good show!
I learned to enjoy painting while I was learning carpentry. The ins and outs of that craft are very similar to selection of the proper piece of lumber for a given application and the selection of which way to apply an edged tool to a given piece of wood. Painting my not be QUITE as nit-picky as fine joinery, but it surely has its fine points. This fellow, who had been a carpenter since shortly after God created wood, taught me a few helpful "slights" that made painting enjoyable. You also remind me of "Acorn to Arabella", a YT channel where a guy in Granby, MA is building a 38' boat from lumber harvested on his family's farm. He rehabbed a wide planer using an old Chrysler flathead 6 for power.
In comparison to this undertaking, putting new tires on my Shopsmith Bandsaw this weekend now looks pretty trivial, but even so, I picked up some tips. Thanks Keith.
outstanding work as usual Keith Bravo thank you for sharing
Wow amazing
Great progress! It is looking fine. Thanks for the videos.
Spectacular!! 🙂
I think trying to crate and ship this saw will be the biggest job.
Alex Vasil
Keith, first timer and should have subscribed sooner. Professional as always.
So if there isn’t a company making Jimmy Diresta bandsaws the correct title would/ should be , Jimmy Diresta’s bandsaw. Not The Jimmy Diresta bandsaw. I believe its a Faye and Egan bandsaw.
Sea- ment, a thought was used primarily for nautical use 😊
Phunnie.
When I saw "rubber tire" in the title, I was reminded of Engels coach shop with Dave putting rubber tires on buggy and wagon wheels.
Keith, I think you lucked out with having to use the 2" tire. That 1/2" of wood on each side is going to look really good. Great job. Its really coming together!
I’d feel more comfy protecting the wood with a full width 3” tyre myself. let me look up how it’s made. chat GPT anyone?
I agree. If more research was done, I would bet the 2" tire was standard. It looks like a perfect fit.
Awesome I notice you have a smaller saw like the one you're working on
MAN, IS THAT THING HUGE :):):)
the face (where the rubber band sits) needs to be crowned slightly for the bandsaw to track properly!! (both wheels) edit: later-on in the video you mentioned you will crown the tires, so should be all good! 👍
Great job Keith, But I'm sure Dave Engles in Montana would have been able to give you a tip on getting those tires on a little easier I think I would have made a phone call.👍👍👍👍
Dave has a trick (or a home-built tool) for everything. Dude is a GENIUS.
Channel is "Engle's Coach Shop" for anyone curious! Highly recommended.
@@VAXHeadroom Agreed. He built 2 borax wagons and a water tank wagon as a set that has been pulled by a 20-mule team. The big wheels are 1800 lbs. He is finishing up a mud wagon or a not-so-classy stagecoach.
Besides, putting the rubber cement on that tire is probably a fun thing to do. Makes me remember why I liked building model airplanes when I was a kid.
Thank Keith for the video. I was helping you tug on the tire I know I wasn't doing much, I have put band saw tire on before I not easy even on a smaller saw. What did you do before the gantry crane I am going to get one for may shop. Thanks again for the video.
After this You should lay some love and affection on Leo Sampsons ship saw... 😀
You should Make a set of sqr bolt socket.
I figure you're going to need to design a special shipping pallet, one that protects that bottom wheel. That should be another separate, interesting woodworking project ...
It ships in pieces!! He mentioned on Facebook it is 4000 lbs!! No way that could be shipped practically without disassembly!
@@paulcopeland9035 That makes sense. So it’s going to be shipped on several pallets, still going to be a project making pallets to securely transport.
Happy Friday Georgia!😊
In the olde days, that rubber tire job was probably done by two men and a boy. The boy fetched things and got yelled at, just like in my garage at home.
Did you come a cross an old electric moter of the same sort of vintage for it. Your doing a great job as always. Cheers from New Zealand.
👍👍
I've always squeezed that two part epoxy out and mixed it up before use, I had no idea you could just squeeze it into whatever you need glued without mixing.
Same here
@@robertlagrange6388 and how's he going to crown the wheel after he's got the tire on it?
You are supposed to mix it every time, I can't believe he did that!
well
i have not tested it, but it would not be hard to test drill a short hole squeezed that two part epoxy into it and hammer a Blank Discs,
wait for the x given time and try to get it out.
I bet pressure when it is hammer together dose mix it enough
@@garybrenner6236 Is there anything he does that you agree with??
Keith, before the advent of electric welding, how were bandsaw blades joined. Brazing or maybe a blacksmiths forge welded joint?
Great video. I don't recall seeing the original video where you received the bandsaw initially. How are these things transported with that wheel sticking so far out of the bottom? I feel like having the saw jacked up that high while on the back of a truck bed just seems so scary, even if it's ratcheted down. Are the bottom wheels taken off every time this thing is moved around? It just seems like that would be the safest option to me. If that's the case, why install the bottom wheel now? Just to see it fully assembled? Thanks again.
To make sure everything goes on and is adjusted correctly.
Of course it is taken apart for shipping! This is a 10' tall, 4000 lb machine! Think about it!!!
And I thought putting new tires on my 14" Delta was a pain, geeeezzzzeeee. Looking ahead, after all this work you will have to disassemble it for shipping? I too dislike painting as well as sanding and my project show it, guess I have a way to go before I'm an adult. Sigh
