Keith, the silly algorithm for YT for some reason stopped feeding me your content over the years. I’m so glad that something happened where I searched you out. Your content is just supreme. Thank you, and I sure wish you all the best
Keith, Anyone would be absolutely thrilled to have you involved in the restoration of one if there cherished early machines, as a woodworker myself and owner of several antique woodworking machines Ill tell you Jimmy is one very lucky guy ! Thank you for taking this on and bringing this Fay and Eagan Band Saw back to like 👍🏻
I was gifted a "Widow Maker" band saw. I got it running but, it scared me to death. Found someone who could actually use the 3 phase motor that it came with. I warned him and he certainly understood the danger of that open blade and had a plan for shielding. Smart man. I raised the price $200 to a total of $400 and he was very pleased. I was glad to get rid of that boat anchor from way back when. This saw is quite a bit larger than the one I had. It was used in a shop with over head drive system and one straight 6 gas tractor engine and transmission. Very efficient but, certainly limited speed applications.
The lead for the serial number was most likely type metal, an alloy of lead, antimony and tin that expands while cooling to create crisp profiles. This was commonly used in Linotype machines and similar equipment for casting type slugs for letterpress printing
Beautiful piece of 19th Century ‘art’…. useable art that is… Can’t wait to see it cutting some wooden boat stems and frames. 👍 Thanks for sharing Keith, Regards Robert
Jimmy's anticipation level to get this beautiful saw in his shop has to be thru the roof. Thanks for the video series. It has been a fun series to watch.
Love me some pin stripes. And the fact that they're not machine perfect makes it even better in my eyes. Gives it character. I've seen some decal strips on some new machines, trying to capitalize on nostalgia and they never look good.
Ja'nette's work with the decal is impressive as always. I'm impressed by her range of skills. Also that serial number casting is great. I have a JA Fay and Egan jointer from the 191x era that is sadly missing that element.
I hope Jimmy D isn't watching this series and is able to be presented with this amazing machine with no expectations, because you are doing such an amazing job; this would blow anyone's mind seeing the before and after.
The saw is looking fantastic. I would find it very hard to part with it, Jimmy is very lucky. Love the pin striping tool, picked one up a few weeks ago and its fantastic.
I tell you what Keith, I’ve been trained as a decorative painter and when you said you were going to do some pin striping I was skeptical. But once again your talents seem boundless!
For water slide you should get some decal set from a hobby shop. It softens the decal after applied and makes it conform to any surface detail or irregularities, then seal it with clear of whatever sheen you like
This content is such a welcome change from all the "bad stuff" that's so available to see on RUclips! I love seeing old machines become new again because they were built so well, it's worth the effort.
Monster Band Saw, lots of happiness to view the restoration, thank you Keith. I will look for that antique 7.5HP Motor, I have some connections..... :)
The pin striping was so cool to learn about and see. As Bob Emser from the Art of Boat Building likes to say...."If your going to make something.... make it beautiful!! Well done. DD
This is one of my favorite project of yours, and the bits you added today really do bring out the beauty of this beast! Your video last week about the capstan from the Tally Ho sent me down a deep rabbit hole. I've now watched the first couple of years worth of Leo's videos at the Sampson Boat RUclips channel. There, three years ago he talked about you fixing his threading machine, so I went to watch your videos on that. Which led me to watch some other, older videos of yours. (I'm retired now, so time is mine to do what I like. I like this!) By the way, you look as though your health is much improved over several years ago, almost as though you are getting younger as time goes forward. Sorry if this slips into unwelcome personal attention, but I admire you very much, and it made me glad to see you doing well.
If it is not too late nor difficult for you, I suggest that you take that red paint and fill in the void between the numbers in the serial plate. That will tie in the pin strip on the wheel and the red in the emblem label, and make it look that much more awesome!
The pinstriping looks great. In the era that machine was built, everything that held still long enough was pinstriped. That thing is going to be a beast.
Your videos have all ways been a joy to watch. They are interesting, informative, and entertaining. Thank you for all the great projects and time you have shared with us.
Mostly wood for patterns and other larger pieces like rail car framing and bodies. This machine was bought and used by a railroad when railcars were mostly built of wood in the structural parts.
I swear the best pin stripers live in the greater Boston Massachusetts area. Some of the trucks and machinery you see on the road and construction projects have pin striping that is out of this world. Not garish, not overwhelming. But just right. it highlights the shape of the vehicle. Especially on the older curvy restored trucks I see at shows. It is wonderful. I think what you did there Keith really added some dimension to the shape without getting too fancy. Well done imho. It will be interesting to see what Jimmy's mind comes up with as a first project for that saw. Cheers
If you want the school district I work at is scraping old buildings. I bought two central vacuums that are over a hundred years old . One is 10 hp The other is 5 hp The 10 hp is a Westinghouse and the other one is a Robins and Mders . But I’ll keep an eye out and see what’s available for sale. But the switch gear for the Westinghouse is pretty cool. And I bought the spare parts for it too
It's amazing how just adding a couple of stripes makes it suddenly look like a true vintage machine... that kind of craftsmanship is sorely lacking in today's world...
My Dads pinstriper was similar, but held quite a bit of paint, and it had a folding edge follower that you could use to follow a line with or run on an edge to keep straight
Just a fyi to any interested parties. If you don't want to buy the fancy expensive paint, sharpie the marker company has a line of opaque metallic markers. I've used the 3 marker set copper, gold, and silver. They cover over black paint perfectly (cover anything) and are a bazillion times easier to use than a brush! I really like using them for raised lettering on castings. Obviously not as consistent a line as Keith's roller applicator but...
The famous car pinstripe artist was Von Dutch. Maybe we should call you Von Rucker. Subtle strips sometimes are more effective than more gaudy striping.
Great work! A beautiful machine! You are doing important work to keep industrial history alive! Thank you for that!
Best regards from Dresden! 👏👍🍀☀❤🛠😎
I like that pin striping tool. that works really slick. I'm sure Jimmy Diresta will be happy with the final product.
Gotta admire the skill of those ladies that pinstriped all those British motorcycle tanks for 60 years !!

All Hail The Algorythm! Great Job, I forgot how huge these things can get- I hope the work gets appreciated. Thanks, Buddy
Just beautiful. Decades from now, these videos will be used to see how American people worked and lived.

Woohoo, the bandsaw project is cooking again. "We won't stop until we see it in Jimmy's shop!"

Very nice Keith. Adds a beautiful style to the frame of the bandsaw. Gorgeous gold on black. You can't go wrong with that. Great work Keith.
Now I want one of those pin striping tools even though I have no use for it yet...
The lead for the serial number was most likely type metal, an alloy of lead, antimony and tin that expands while cooling to create crisp profiles. This was commonly used in Linotype machines and similar equipment for casting type slugs for letterpress printing
Nice touches, it makes the saw look like it probably would have looked back in the day.
Your looking pretty healthy buddy. I hope you feel better.
This is so much more interesting than watching a CNC machine buzz along.
Beautiful piece of 19th Century ‘art’…. useable art that is…
Can’t wait to see it cutting some wooden boat stems and frames.

That's a real transormation that the detailing adds. A beautiful machine.

I won one of her sliding t-bevels at Arnfest that she made. 😊
Keith your attention to detail is amazing and I really enjoy watching you work on things like that.
The bling makes a beautiful difference.
Keith,
For someone who lacks pin-striping skills, you sir are an artist.
Your restoration is a work of craftsmanship.
Bob
Whooo WEEE that pinstriping makes a huge difference!
The pinstriping makes a huge difference.

Super job on this saw. Its like the factory is back in business. Old school care and the extra bits that shows the company built quality.
Takes lots of patience to be an artist like Keith.
And skill!!!
Those pin stripes look great Keith. I'm ordering a set right now.
I'm 70 years old and at the age of 15 one of my first jobs was pin striping bicycles with a kit just like that ,
Thanks for the video !!
Thanks for the video, Keith. I'm sure Jimmy will be happy with your work. See you at the Bar-Z. Jon
Looks great!
Sure looking good Keith. That is a massive saw.
Thanks for sharing.
Saw is looking great!
I have never said ' Oh my gosh" so many times during a video !! Beautiful work and nicely done video !!

opposite here; I started watching the Tally Ho project at the beginning, and discovered Keith's channel when he did the threading machine 😀
Great job Keith and well done, thank you and I love that old saw. 👍👍👍👍👍
If it is not too late nor difficult for you, I suggest that you take that red paint and fill in the void between the numbers in the serial plate. That will tie in the pin strip on the wheel and the red in the emblem label, and make it look that much more awesome!
Agreed.

DAMN!
Nice work Keith really nice looking saw. Thanks Keith for the video.
Wow! That tool made the pinstriping look super easy to accomplish and the results are excellent.
Your videos have all ways been a joy to watch. They are interesting, informative, and entertaining. Thank you for all the great projects and time you have shared with us.
Absolutely beautiful!
You pinstriped the wheel like I hoped you would. 👍
Well done Keith, it is certainly coming together nicely,
I'm really enjoying the bandsaw series !
After all this time I never noticed you were left handed! Nice job. Oops, I meant ambidextrous.
man it is really looking good, a bit of pin stripe does indeed set it off. really enjoying watching this project. Thank you.
Good morning Keith. I think you nailed simple and elegant. Looks fantastic. Thanks
The bling is perfect!
Wow that pinstriping looks great? My wife asked what you would cut with that.... my answer was "Yes". 😂
Mostly wood for patterns and other larger pieces like rail car framing and bodies. This machine was bought and used by a railroad when railcars were mostly built of wood in the structural parts.
Looking amazing Keith! I can't wait to see it at the shop when it's in NY
This is really coming together. The pin striping is an awesome touch.
That's a gorgeous bandsaw!
It is now! Lol

Freagin wowzers. Looks amazing. Good work!
Looking very nice, Keith
Jesus. That tiny amount of pinstriping really made a difference. Nice call on that. Looks gorgeous.
Satisfying to see it all come together after all the repairs, nice job I like the classic look. Thanks!
I love the pinstripe. That is one huge casting. I would have love to watch that get poured.
Wow! Great episode, Keith! This bandsaw is coming right along. Thanks for sharing.
Fabulous job Keith!
Wow-you make it look easy!
Looking fantastic cool beans.
Wow! Steady hand!
Wood grain will get you every time if you aren't extremely careful. Good save, Keith!

getting fancy. looks good.

Looking good 👍
Pen striping looks great
Bkack red and gold, always a winning comniation.
Interesting that they used a treble clef sign rather than an ampersand on the sticker.
Love your channel--I always look forward to seeing a new one.
You do beautiful work love watching your videos
very nice Keith
Beautiful!
The famous car pinstripe artist was Von Dutch. Maybe we should call you Von Rucker. Subtle strips sometimes are more effective than more gaudy striping.
Love the show!
What a fine looking machine.
looks so good Keith!
Nothing but great content from Mr. Rucket
Well I just got to say well I just got to say 😅 great job Kieth
Looks great Keith! The pin stripping really adds a nice touch. Maybe add some to the blade guard, or not, looks great.
Bravo Good Job Nice work Looks great
