Woohoo, the bandsaw project is cooking again. "We won't stop until we see it in Jimmy's shop!"
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
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.
Just beautiful. Decades from now, these videos will be used to see how American people worked and lived.
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.
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.
Great work! A beautiful machine! You are doing important work to keep industrial history alive! Thank you for that!
Best regards from Dresden! 👏👍🍀☀❤🛠😎
The bling makes a beautiful difference.
All Hail The Algorythm! Great Job, I forgot how huge these things can get- I hope the work gets appreciated. Thanks, Buddy
Whooo WEEE that pinstriping makes a huge difference!
If you had all the time in the world it would be extremely tempting to do that thing up like a singer sewing machine.
This is so much more interesting than watching a CNC machine buzz along.
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.
The casting looks reminiscent of the " Gradian of Forever".
Now I want one of those pin striping tools even though I have no use for it yet...
Sure looking good Keith. That is a massive saw.
Thanks for sharing.
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...
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.
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.
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.
Thanks for the video, Keith. I'm sure Jimmy will be happy with your work. See you at the Bar-Z. Jon
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 like that pin striping tool. that works really slick. I'm sure Jimmy Diresta will be happy with the final product.
Keith,
For someone who lacks pin-striping skills, you sir are an artist.
Your restoration is a work of craftsmanship.
Bob
Gotta admire the skill of those ladies that pinstriped all those British motorcycle tanks for 60 years !!
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..... :)
After all this time I never noticed you were left handed! Nice job. Oops, I meant ambidextrous.
The pinstriping makes a huge difference.
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!
Bkack red and gold, always a winning comniation.
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.
Your looking pretty healthy buddy. I hope you feel better.
Keith your attention to detail is amazing and I really enjoy watching you work on things like that.
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
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
Looking very nice, Keith
Absolutely beautiful!
That's a real transormation that the detailing adds. A beautiful machine.
You do beautiful work love watching your videos
Saw is looking great!
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.
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!!!
Freagin wowzers. Looks amazing. Good work!
Nice work Keith!
DAMN!
If it looks strait, it is strait.
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.
Looking fantastic cool beans.
Well I just got to say well I just got to say 😅 great job Kieth
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 !!
You pinstriped the wheel like I hoped you would. 👍
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.
Fabulous job Keith!
Wow! Steady hand!
Wow-you make it look easy!
Looks great!
Great series, Keith, many thanks. Jimmy Diresta is a lucky guy!
The black, red, and gold looks great.
getting fancy. looks 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 won one of her sliding t-bevels at Arnfest that she made. 😊
very nice Keith
I have never said ' Oh my gosh" so many times during a video !! Beautiful work and nicely done video !!
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
It's really surprising how much just a little bit of pin striping sharpens up the saw's appearance.
Love the show!
Nice work Keith really nice looking saw. Thanks Keith for the video.
looks so good Keith!
Pen striping looks great
Wood grain will get you every time if you aren't extremely careful. Good save, Keith!
Wouldn't it be a great idea if you were to partner up with Leo from Tally Ho to bring his shipsaw back like this one? I know I'd watch it but I'd guess a lot of Tally Ho fans would love to see it too! Big fan Keith!
Those pin stripes look great Keith. I'm ordering a set right now.
Nice pin striping Keith.
Good morning Keith. I think you nailed simple and elegant. Looks fantastic. Thanks
Looking good 👍
Well done Keith, it is certainly coming together nicely,
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.
Wow! That tool made the pinstriping look super easy to accomplish and the results are excellent.
That pinstripe looks good. It may have been easier to put it on when it was on the lathe.
Pull some VonDutch stripes on that beauty Keith.
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.
opposite here; I started watching the Tally Ho project at the beginning, and discovered Keith's channel when he did the threading machine 😀
man it is really looking good, a bit of pin stripe does indeed set it off. really enjoying watching this project. Thank you.
Beautiful!
I'm really enjoying the bandsaw series !
Bravo Good Job Nice work Looks great
Great job Keith and well done, thank you and I love that old saw. 👍👍👍👍👍
Most excellent.
very nice job keith !
Looking good Keith, nice to see it going together.
Great video.
That's cool 👍👍👍
Great video! I’m going to look for opportunities to pin stripe all my machines!
Sure you are very good in this job..the onner sure olso very happy
This is really coming together. The pin striping is an awesome touch.
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...
thank you I've learned a lot
nice touch!!
Looks good
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
