I love seeing how “clean” his workbench was 5 yrs ago compared to today!

ohhh, a set for setting the tooth allignment! all this time, I was thinking it was the saw it's self! so wondering what all those moving bits were for, was confusing. I'm GLAD you like to USE the tool, so we get to see it in action. that's important for the enjoyment of the video for me.

I didn’t realize exactly how this thing works until almost the very end. A great restoration.

The way you show every part as it comes off, I'm convinced that you started making these videos just so you could look back and see how it all goes together.

That stuff is engineered with adjustable positions for everything. Kind of like Erector Sets and the engineering toys you could get in the 80s, 90s. In all reality these tools are extremely simple. Made when manufacturing wasn’t as fast. They had to be simple to turn out production quickly. Plus the simple designs last the longest. Not always the best but simple and reliable as a hammer.

As always, a wonderfully honest restoration. No makeover, up-cycle, or fake chrome!

In a world of disposable everything, you do us all a service by fixing these wonderful tools,thank you

I'm amazed how a more than likely piece of in one's eye's garbage can be brought back to show history so well, You are very talented keep up the great work and I will keep watching!

I was so lost until the very end. As with all your videos, I enjoyed every minute of it

Incredible. I'm from France. I'm a carpenter. I have never seen a such tool. Thank you !

What a crazy number of castings on a small tool. Super cool.

Engineers and tool makers 150yrs ago designed and manufactured equipment so the average tradesman could repair it easily. All the tools would have been expensive, but likely to be a once in a lifetime investment in their career. Thanks for this very interesting restoration. I didn't feel deprived at all, when I realised there was no head-banging, mind-numbing modern "music".

It’s sad nowadays but tools are engineered to fail. Because I company that sells you a bandsaw and you have it for life isn’t making money very long and soon going out of business. Whereas a company that sells you a decent bandsaw that lasts 5 years... they’re going to sell quite a few of them. And everything is electronic now and electronic is easy to set a predetermined fail. Resistors life span is easily predictable. You want it to last five years? Put a few resistors in that have a five year life before their components break down. You’ve now got steady customers who are regularly coming back. Same with autos.

Chancellor You're exactly right, I have woodworking machines from the 30s, 40s, + 50s , with proper care I think they can literally last forever, I consider myself a temporary caretaker of the machines I have. I think it must have been in the 50s when they came up with "planned obsolescence"

In some cases, companies actually released service manuals to walk people through common repairs and maintenance tasks.

watching these videos randomly, can tell how old by the cleanliness of the bench :)

I looked at that thing as you initially displayed it and wondered, "Band Saw? No kidding. How the hell can that be?" Then I realized, I missed the word "set". Nevertheless, for a bunch of castings made 120 years ago, that thing was in almost perfect condition, and look at that old dude get her done. WOW! You brought back an important fact. We've been making GREAT tools for a long time.

The mechanical elegance of machinery like this really floats my boat.

Hey I found one of those in a old warehouse we tore down,been sitting on a shelf in my shop for over 15 yrs,no one that saw it could figure out what it was,now we know.thanks its in working order very cool

Great rehab, I like the way you show what they do after you're done, keep them coming and thanks for sharing!

What a score! Not so much need of one these days as pretty much everything is bi-metal and most of us don’t resharpen our own blades but that is a beauty you have there.

That tool is a work of art . well done sir.

With your help I discovered and learn a world of ancien tools. Thank you for your lessons .

I love machinery of this type, because it's at the right complexity that I can recreate it myself, no wiring or programming required.

I'm six minutes into this video and already I'm so glad it's you who's putting this thing back together and not me. Can't wait to see it work!

Wow great video! I just inherited this exact same thing from my grandfather. His father used it in his Greenwich, CT cabinet shop from the 20's through the mid century! Ours is mounted on a wooden board and still operates.

I love old tools and equipment. I have a few Stanely hand planes, a Disston crosscut saw and a hand full of hatchets. Preserving history is great.

Another amazing invention restored. I don't know how your mind wraps around these projects but ir keeps doing it!

Was baffled at first but now understand the meaning of the tool. Great restoration

Fabulous. Only found your channel about a month ago and you have brought with it a ray of sunshine into my life! Cheers.

.....watched almost all of em.....need to take a break, haha...I think I have a problem, hello my name is Rich and I watch too may restore videos......it's bad when... this video is over a year old THESE ARE AWESOME!

I always enjoy watching your work. This tool in particular impressed me by the complexity of its parts. Just imagine, some anonymous engineer back then came up with all those strange parts with their unusual geometries to create a functional tool, and he didn't have CAD, nor a computer, not even a simple 4 function calculator. Every bit was done with drawings and calculations on paper. It's pretty impressive, and your restoration does justice to the brilliant mind that first devised it. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us. You do very good work, and it's a lot of fun to watch.

My family owned a sawmill just on the edge of London, England, from 1895. As a little boy, visiting the sawmill with my father, I thought the big circular saws used for slicing the trees into planks were the most exciting thing ever. Some of them were made by Disston..

Love your videos and how you use the sounds of the mechanics to tell the story!

amazing skills you have sir,I can't imagine the mind it took to design this work of art

That is so cool. I love how you leave the bare metal and you don't cover up these cool mechanical things in paint

i absolutely love this one great job! love it that you didnt paint it either bare metal was the sexiest choice !

This was so much fun to watch. The sounds of the tools on metal, seeing the tool come apart then be reassembled. Great stuff. Did make me nervous though when your loose floppy sleeves came close to the spinning wire brush, saw a guy get sucked into one of those once. He was torn up pretty bad, hate to see you get hurt.

What an interesting machine & beautiful restoration, great work! :)

Amazing to think these old works of art were designed without computers

Nice video mate..... hey Casey Gibbons this machine sets the teeth to where they have to sit in order to cut wood.... have a look at most saw blades and you will see that each tooth is bent the opposite to the one next to it and that's what this machine does... it's not for cutting wood but to align the teeth on the blade. Thanks for sharing Hand Tool Rescue I love seeing the old stuff come to life :).

Fascinating I have never seen one of these before!

All bandsaw setting tools that I've seen in production so far (power or manual) have a support table in the back of the setting tool. The best setup had adjustments on the X axis of the setting tool, allowing the bandsaw to remained perfectly flat whatever how wide they were. Nice restauration by the way. Now, I just need a reason to drive two hours to get at the closest Princess Auto for a bucket of Evaporust... 😀 Keep up your good work.

The lady's hand freaked me out for a sec! 🤣 Another awesome job.

Fascinating little machine; hadn't seen one before. I like the videos btw at the normal speed btw. Thanks much

I wasn't aware that there were bandsaws back in the 1860's, but if there were they had the tool to set it. This was in remarkable condition wasn't it? Again, great video. Regards.

Good save I always enjoy your videos, can't say I'm impressed with the machine all the same.

I wish I had that tool. It's a great find.

Amazing bit of kit. Love mechanical apparatus and how it works. I'll say one thing though, that third hand hasn't had nearly as tough a paper round as the other two. 😉

What a beautiful old machine.

Loved the third hand...

I have this same gizmo in my shop that came in a lot of chisels and gouges I bought off Craig’s List 5 years ago. I’ve been trying to figure out what it was, now I see. Lol, I was considering contacting you to see if you would want to restore it, if you knew what it was. I see that you do. Mine seems functional, except the blade “lifter” on the out feed side was snapped off. Mine does still have a factory paper tag on one of the adjustment screws saying not to adjust it…. Lol. Thanks for solving the mystery!

It’s like a giant rusty Rubik’s cube!

IMPRESIONANTE!!! me encantan estas máquinas tan antiguas, saludos desde España

Amazing tool can alignment for saw blade like that long time ago .

just got to love a good jig saw puzzle.

owesome the quality of those iron parts

It's amazing to see some of the stuff that was made so long ago, 84 years before I was born...lol

excellent mechanical skills .

Great video

Whoever thought up of this design was a genius.

Geez, so many comments about how "they don't build them like they used too!" They built crappy tools back then too... it's just that they didn't last long enough for us to see them. Don't scoff at every tool you see on the shelf at Walmart saying it's all crap and ignore the modern manufacturers who produce tough and reliable products.

When it was the 80s everyone bitched about “damn new vehicles and their stupid pollution pumps and charcoal canisters! They don’t make em like they did in the 60s! 2005, “these damn new trucks are garbage! Remember in the 80s when they were simple and you could work on them yourself! They don’t make them like 80s trucks anymore!” Every decade has garbage products and amazing products that will stand the test of time. They still make them like they used to quality wise if you look. Thing is now they’re a hell of a lot nicer and more efficient too!

Things in the past weren't necessarily "better" in any sort of way, I agree. I would add that, nowadays, any tool might be great, powerful and accurate, yet it will often break down after a certain time of use, due to planned obsolescence... something that was far harder to achieve with cruder, stronger tools of way back when. That's probably why we still find tools over a hundred years old that can be restored and reused. I doubt we will find many recent (21st century that is) tools in one hundred years from now, exactly for the reason I mention here above

To add to this, I don't think a lot of people realize how much better modern tools perform than old tools. Like come on, they had manual drills back then lol. Even in the 1950's power tools were huge, heavy, and weak compared to what we have now. Imagine building shit with a 20lb corded drill that only spins forward and flat head screws. I already want to quit just thinking about it.

i used one of them for 5 years on a job, had to set and sharpen about 500 butcher hand saw blades each week.

You gotta roll up those sleeves around that spinning drill press. Safety 101.
