The old paper cutter you can always turn it into a Bender for metal where you can bend sheathing for siding Roofing. Or you can turn into a screw press where are you can clamp your material to work on.
The guy probably thought you'd do some dirty demo for him...
So what do you think the weight of that cutting press is? Saw one kinda like that on ebay listed for $1137 called a Pavyer printing paper cutting press.
Yeah... Mmm needs to fix their site. She's dead Jim.
@@RIPPER334 works fine
So Don says, "If you want wisdom, you came to the wrong place." Just like Socrates who said, "the only thing I know for certain, is that I know nothing." What a profound statement from the wise man of the woods, Don-2021. 😄
Agreed 👍
With Ryan's ruclips.net/user/postUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE plan I was like one taken by the hand and led step by step from start to finish. Thank you very much Ryan!
All of your friends are just lovely, soft spoken people. It’s cool you’re giving them a platform and showing off local makers that just tinker away at jobs.
I just bought a few acres with an old cabin from the 1890’s I’m going to be restoring. These cabin build videos give me a lot of inspiration. I’m going to be filming and posting the restoration as well. So many good ideas in this channel 👍👍
That was impressive when you slid the level across the "joists". You are a true craftsman.
Don...kind hearted, humble, hard working. What's not to like? Welcome back Don! Greetings from Virginia 😁 🇺🇸
I'm a Printing estimator for 30 years and that is an old guillotine to cut paper. To many corporations this would be a showpiece to display in their entry way. This is worth a fair chunk of dollars. mid to upper 4 figures because they are seldomly seen. Needs TLC but by no means undesirable!!!
I looked at the video again and This a big guillotine for the time and great quality too. No wood inlays... I'm thinking this could sell around 5K as is. restored is around 9-10K. Either German or north american made. Then again it would make a great side table! But if there is a way to save this heritage... Please do!
My heart skipped a beat when I saw it ☺️❤️. I’d take it too…if only to just admire. Like so many things from long ago, it’s not just utilitarian, it’s art.
I used to run a print Christian ad agency, that is really old school, and I wouldn't take it to a scrap yard.
Preserving the guillotine is well worth pursuing, as per Patrick E. That’s a beautiful piece of equipment that would be well appreciated by the right corporation or institution. History. Google around Kevin.
Worth thousands !!!!!!
The box for the fonts was called a case. The capital letters were kept in the top box. Thus “upper case”
Your videos are just like listening to reggae you cannot be sad and watch you doing your thing on RUclips. Keep up the good work you have a real upbeat attitude and that makes people interested in watching what you’re doing. And, you are also unique in your approach to various projects.
I’d grab that gorgeous cabinet in the front of the store. My God, that building is beautiful. I love antique furniture and lamps. Wow what a find. If I knew anything about restoration I’d definitely restore this place! Thanks for taking us along, I really enjoyed this video. The pine floors are stunning! Great job guys! I need a smile today, it’s been a year since my nephew passed. Your videos are helping me right now, thank you!
Feels weird seeing you fell a tree without Don's supervision.
It's GREAT to see Don back, Kevin!
You are absolutely the funniest person on RUclips! Recently discovered your channel and have been binge watching ever since! Of course I've also subscribed.
Don has other stuff to do: FIRE! All the FIRE! =p. Seriously though, I'm one of the ones that loves the interaction between the two of you, glad to have him back
Modern Self-Reliance Feat: "Don!" (Dude needs a vacation from all the stuff you have him doing! :P)
Agreed
Agreed 👍
The work is his vacation. It’s fun building things.
Who else was waiting weeks for this video to come out 😂😂 (keep up the work !! Your getting me through my gcse (the English secondary school work)
Good luck. :)
keep it up bro im doing the same
A close up of the thing we're supposed to guess on would have been nice, it was dark and we barely could see it.
Gotta blame the editor.. lol
@@ModernSelfReliance
Okay, but I think part of the blame should fall on the cameramen.
@@ModernSelfReliance Based on what we could see, I suspect a fusible lightning arrestor for an old telephone (or maybe even telegraph) line.
Do a complete restore on the printing press/cutter. Or give it to someone that can do it. It would be worth thousands after restoring.
Gotta love Don. Not a complete video without him.
Cool shear, with a little alteration you could make it into a small press for gauge metal pieces. It does have that industrial, steam punk vibe. I love it.
That shear seems like something that belongs in a museum.
I was thinking the same thing.
Drooling over that print shop- that’s a dream! The old guillotine, the type drawers (where the terms uppercase and lowercase came from!) each drawer had a single typeface/font and each section was for the letters & numbers, so there were so many As, Bs, etc. this stuff is still used but at LEAST hundred year old tech. You can sell that antique stuff for BANK!
Nice to see Don ! Always fun to watch ! Thanks you guys
16.20 to 16.24... beautiful little hook... Of COURSE we like coming along on tours like this! I love to go on hunts for STUFF :)) Seriously fun.
Definitely make a large Steampunk inspired dinner table using the parts of that printpress, bookbinder thingy and milled lumber with a live edge.
That wide angle zoom lens is gonna be a hard one to build out of wood Kevin lol. I really like when you take us to the buildings looking for stuff. That cutter may be worth quite a bit as an antique, also I say doorbell, God bless
Woo! MSR Saturday! That cabin door is SWEET!
Your a joy to watch and learn some very sufficient techniques. Your friends and brother all work so swell together. Please post a viewing of each created structures in your village in a post. Thanks for sharing!!
Oh my heart be still! Love the old paper cutter and type trays!! If there's an old can of oil base ink I sure would like to take a sniff!! I very much miss the smells if a print shop. From 1972-2003 printing and publishing then teaching graphic arts and printing was my life. Thanks!!!
Nice work on the cabin floor. You know it's flat when you can slide the level across like that. Good to see Don back again.
Any way you can use the legs of the press cutter for the evaporator pan?
If not those legs would be great for an epic chair/throne, bar stool height table, or even a bed. . . You can even use the components so it can be set to different height levels with a turn of the wheel!!!
Perhaps you can use the components to make like an "Argentine Grill" that has adjustable height with the crank of the wheel for a covered outdoor kitchen near the pizza oven and smoker, or near this new little log cabin.
Work bench or even a Park Bench for underneath the cube!!!
But it would be great to see some components be part of a permanent fixture attached or inside the little log cabin
Awesome floor. Loved that clip when you slid the level across to show flatness. Engineered!
The panel in the corner may be an old fire alarm system. Which would make sense with the amount of paper stored in a printing shop.
I love old historic building like this. It’s nice it’s going to get some use and old things in the building are getting repurposed.
Its called a book guillotine - we still use them for handmade books and book conservation labs. Also a California Type Case - scores of printshop workers memorized the placement of the typeface and could set type in minutes.
Creativity is the key to keeping yourself alive and energetic and makes you look forward to getting up in the mornings. Love your zest for life.
Jimmy Dirrsta would be jealous of that paper shear. Great old Iron.
I reached out to him. I think we are gonna put it back together and see where it goes.
It's your channel cut the way you want!! Like your channel. Nice and yall always do a good job.
That paper guillotine is an amazing find and in really good condition all things considered. Don't scrap it. Get it inside, get it restored. As it's easily worth several hundred dollars and would be a great conversation piece.
Based on what I see from the channel Hand Tool Rescue(He's out of Saskatoon) a piece like that is totally worth the effort of cleanup and maintenance.
What an enjoyable episode (as always). Welcome back from spring cleaning, Don!
Always good to save and restore/re-purpose old goodies. Cabin looking great. Full Stop!
Oh my gosh , the floor is amazing. Nice job guys
That old print shop would be so cool restored back to it's period correct former days, you could print post cards and or greeting cards the old fashion way.
Man I wish my buddies were skilled like you. They might be but they are all chasing their kids. Looks awesome!
Good morning Kevin and Don from Melville Saskatchewan have a blessed day nice to see you back Don the floor structure was amazing strong like bull
Balloon framing is what you want, if you want to stucco the outside of your house, because there is no shrinkage between floors.
Old fashion shear press perhaps could be repurposed into a break press for sheet metal or a bench saw. Definitely to big for a paper weight LMAO. Floor looks awesome in the cabin. Chinking the logs willb fun to watch. And of course the inside loft to bad theres no dormers who knows what's up.your sleeve next Kevin. Thanks for sharing. God bless be safe stay warm. Jim
Jimmy Diresta collects anything to do with old printing. Before scrapping it, you should reach out to him.
Awwwww, I loved this one! My mom and daughter think I'm silly for "calling" my fish up to feed them but now I can say I'm not the only one 😊
That floor is ducking beautiful and spot on, great job! Did you not put a plastic barrier down to protect against moisture because it's so open to the outside under there?
That monster of an antique is something I would have taken too. I'd get it in proper working order and use it for fun.
I really enjoyed this one, it brought many smiles to my face 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Stay safe, have fun, and hug your family!
✌💜🐖💨
I may, you might have noticed I didn't attach the floor yet.
@@ModernSelfReliance I assumed that you had secured it off camera sometime after the cool house tour. What do you think you'll use if you do add a barrier? 4, 6, 20ml Plastic, foam, that shower sealer stuff you used on the cube, something different we haven't seen yet?
I've worked in a print shop only slightly more modern than that. I almost cut off eight of my fingers in a cutter like that. The lever bar's safety latch was so worn that when I pulled it back, it didn't catch. Be careful!
Jimmy Diresta would probably be interested in the sheer, he has a lot of old iron printing machines.
Yep, that level slide was epic! 👌
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
My school have couple of those paper cutters, etc in school practical-lessons building (they were just standing as a treasure, just filling in some space, but they are also looking really cool as a decoration :D remembering a job that this school was mainly teaching at beggining)
That cutter looks immaculate and should be preserved. There is definitely a good home for it and would make a great video! Everlovin' Press in Kingston, Papillon Press in Westport, Snap & Tumble in Toronto, All Sorts Press in Hamilton, Passion Letterpress in Oakville... among others.
Might shop it around a litte.
Enjoyed this and always look forward to your amazing videos each week. Really, where would you be without Don. Nice guy.
That lumber mill sure is paying for itself! I thought that paper cutter was a stove when I first saw it. But I can see it as a reborn desk.
Yeah! Don is back. Missed him
Wow ... finally you and Don had the floor done from the wood salvaged. Then you went to salvage the old brass or iron cast rusty printer? You should improvise it and make into a coffee table; dinner table...and make your own Oak trunk chairs. You are so good 👍with your ✋👐. You will figure it out. Enjoy 😉 ❤💕
Can't wait to see what you create with the printing cutter. I'm sure it will be awesome!
4k today may be worth 6k next month. Great videos. Keep up the good work really enjoy your videos.... Could you see if you could do a drone video to see the grounds from above?
THAT'S RIGHT; WE LOVE OLD DON. HE'S A COOL DUDE.
Great vid..floor is looking good..those type trays draws are also collectable people hang them on there walls for shadow boxes..if the whole type tray chest was was complete there worth about 1500.00..thanks again for the vid..
Sawmill's paying for itself these days! Good video.
And just like that... there's a complete structure. 👏
Still needs a little work. ;-)
Great video my friend glad you posted keep them coming.
I really like watching your videos, keep them coming!
You should contact Jimmy Diresta, for that sheer. He is doing old printing press stuff and restoring those machines and stuff related to that. I think he would be seriously interested in that machine
Dons got the Costco triangle bun I can tell. That made me hungry.
start a printer, when the last microchip goes fizzle and pop, you can make books or at least size them for binding. Beautiful piece of history. Bet it still works like the day it was made.
Wow Awesome find, and the floor looks so good. Hi Don. Lunch looked great. You guys have too much fun! :) Peace and Good Fortune and Good Health to you all. All the best.
You: "Any words of wisdom, Don?"
Don: "Nope. Come to the wrong place."
I think Don's officially had enough of your sh*t, sir!
The man. The legend. Don.
Put that shear back together completely, so you don't forget what it was or how it went together.
Great job on the sugar shack floor.
If only I had a video how it came apart.
That was a Telco loud bell...great for print shop
Wondered what that was!
you should turn it into a book shelf and try to retain the original structure of it as a paper shear. it'd be an excellent ornamental piece and conversation starter.
It's a shame it weighs at least 1000lbs.
That thing is a lightning arrester. That one is the same model I pulled out of my house built in 1907.
"popcorn-fart dry" hilarious!
My goodness, if I hadn’t know you were Canadian....I would know from....”popcorn fart”. Just to let you know we used that in Northern Canada in 1950’s!
jimmy diresta has one he restored and uses along with his printing press I'm sure he would love another one.
If that fireplace wasn’t so old it would have been a cool idea for the cabin. There is an old homestead here with the exact setup
" well then you've come to the wrong place" we love you don!!!!!!
Roof shingle maker it could split wood to make shingles
You could make a Don's Retirement Village Printing Press!
Send the paper cutter to the My Mechanics channel and get him to restore it for you. That guy’s a wizard
Yayyyy !! Now ya have a Floor !! And it's pretty also !! :) Congrats!!
Looked like that "treasure" you got would make for a super strong, heavy-duty vice in it's second life.
That was a fun pick. I have a friend that still uses a paper cutter like that in his print shop. I wonder if you could repurpose that cutter into a sheet metal break. Great find.
Oooo, good idea!
OK so it could be a press, with some tool modifications you could fold sheet steel or press bearings? Cool vid Kev 😎 👌 👍
Hey... it's Don. Eager to watch the cabin chinking process you choose. Content is excellent.
we are stock piling clay!
Popcorn fart dry. The kids will love that analogy, thanks 😂
That print shop could be the set for a horror movie in about 30 seconds... its one light bulb failure away from a serial killer's dream
When you were doing the floor I was seeing a foot of daylight under all the walls ( cause walls are all raised and sitting on stumps) and now there will be a floor above covering the ground .. so begs a question ... how are you going to keep critters from living under there? Seems like you are building a perfect place for them (wolves and cougars and bears -- oh my).
BTW .. all the steel you loaded in the bed of the truck ... if there's enough flat pieces perhaps you could weld together an outdoor off-grid wood fired large grill for making pancakes and such.
Your little cabin looking like Hobbit Town 🤣🤣🤣 I just need to know who’s Frodo, Sam, Gandalf and Gollum! 😂😂😂 Great Video BTW 👍
I would try and re use your cutter as some sort of shop table need a good sand blast and some paint
Idea Alert: That dead standing pine would be perfect for making a cordwood structure, round I hope.
Correct me if I'm wrong... pine is not hardwood and ash is considered a non-durable, perishable wood also susceptible to attack by beetles and fungus, especially the sapwood.
Ash is considered a hardwood .
Thank you for the video... Happy Mothers Day to your wife
The cutter was brand new when dawn was a kid 🤣
I think for your next build . A bath house / laundry .
You should sell that old press to a restoration RUclipsr. That would be an awesome video!
