1940s Large Bandsaw [DiRestoration]
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this video Jimmy DiResta invited me to his workshop to help rescue this 1945 Delta Milwaukee 14" Bandsaw. We decided to not do a typical restoration, but go with a raw steel and brass look for all parts. We both really liked how this turned out and hopefully I can do more things like this every once in a while.
The exposed parts of the bandsaw were fairly rusty, but the internals were in surprisingly good shape. Luckily not all of the bearings needed replacing as I only brought a few new bearings and finding new ones in the short time I was there, was not possible.
I focused on disassembly, cleaning, removing paint and rust, and reassembling the bandsaw. Jimmy focused on remaking the knobs in solid brass, making the blade guard out of oak, welding the new pulleys, making the motor mount, and hooking up the power switch.
Brett McAfee focused on "brassing" certain steel parts on the saw so it would look even better. You can see his process here: • Ship Shop: Nautical Ke...
We all had a lot of fun and I hope to do this again one day. Thank you for inviting me Jimmy!

It always amazes me that, no matter how simple a machine may look, it will be made up of many more parts than you think it is. Great team effort! Need to do more.

Some things seem to have far more parts than they need. Others would have been made much better by the addition of just another part or two.
I liked how Tracey Chipmunk was playing in the background
the little rubber hands of jimmy diresta touched your work!!!
Jimmy making grumpy faces at the bandsaw at the end was the best part of the whole video!
Your videos always crack me up. The subtle and unexpected humor kills me. Good work guys!

Stroking the two screws like nipples cracked me up, so funny., The Broke back mountain moment was disturbing, roflmao
Loved the “clicksping” reference during the machining
Thank you Mr. Diresta for letting this be filmed in your shop.
Dude, just wanted to let you know that your videos are super zen for me. Watching you take things apart and then put them back together all bright and shiny is really relaxing. So...thanks for doing what you do.
I love the look of tools of this era. The brass knobs Jimmy turned could not be more perfect. Beautiful tool!.

What an absolute beaut! I would say its a museum piece, but, I think it deserves to be used. It was made to be used, it still works. Use it!
Dude, keep doing what you're doing, and don't ever change!! You too Jimmy Diresta!!! You both are one of the Greatest!!
It’s awesome you give these old tools new life!
such a great project. It was an honor to grind for you, sir!

I rescued a bandsaw I was told was a Delta from the early 60's broke it down to rebuild it as you guys did, then found out it was from Harbor Freight around 2005. Beat damn saw, nothing slows it down.
The superhuman speed with which this bandsaw was dismantled then reassembled, coupled with the sounds of the wind howling through the desolation of a post nuclear exchange wilderness made for a very calming experience. Well done!
That brought back a lot of memories. I grew up on that very saw. it was a dangerous childhood!

Very nice machine. I have a 1948 Milwaukee band saw with the gearbox, so it cuts wood and metal. I restored mine a couple years ago and am very pleased with the results. Thanks for the video!
Cool rescue! Currently working on a 1946 16" Walker-Turner...can't wait to see her running again.
It's easy to forget just how many camera setups you do for one video! Bravo for all the hard work!

Nice rescue of a wonderful piece of woodworking machinery. I was taught that using oil on parts that are open to sawdust caused them to be sawdust magnets and become a caked up mess. If you use paste wax instead, you won't have that issue.
SO AWESOME! I love seeing old things restored and used again. 👍🏼

Thanks for this video. I have an Atlas bandsaw like this that I acquired 20 years ago. Mine has an enclosed base. It has what looks like the original blade guard at the cutting guide, but a cobbled together guard at the blade return. I’m going to try an create what you and Jimmy made. Love all your videos. Please keep it up.
That was awesome! I would love to find an older band saw like that to restore. Jimmy DiResta is a true genius who can make anything work. Great job. :-)

Wow, my father had that exact model of saw in his shop while I was growing up. I remember him cursing about those aluminum screws every time he tore it apart for referb. Man this brings back memories. Keep up the awesome work.

I have had 4 major operations in the last 15 years. The only cost to me was the taxi to and from the hospital or parking fees. I paid taxes for 35 years. I am retired now so I only pay 25% up to a max of 25.00 per precription. No dought If I lived in the US I would be bankrupt and living on the street. Last winter the temperature went down to 40 below zero. At that temperature I would be dead.
I loved the logo getting bigger and bigger, that had me laughing so hard. Good to see Jimmy D finally getting to appear on a KZread channel... Oh wait, the good of the land, r&r buildings, etc. I wish I could do that. I bet all I have to do is have my own very successful channel...
That was very enjoyable to watch as usual. Thank you once again.
the hands on the lathe sequence... should have been unchained melody. Its a match made in heaven, you both do beautiful work.
Great video collaboration, thank you for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 How did you keep track of all the parts? I look away for a second and I’m sure I loose 1/2 of what I have out on the bench 😂

That introduction was so funny I had to play it over again. I just found your site yesterday and it is wonderful! As a daughter of a diesel mechanic who grew up helping my Dad build go-karts and tear apart and rebuild engines, I find this so delightful to watch. It brings back so many memories...smells of his workbench and all the grease and oils. Our cat thinks this is great too. She can sit for up to 30 minutes watching all the movement and listening to all the sounds. Congrats on your new workshop.

I rebuilt my 14" bandsaw and it had those same guides and they were trashed. I made my own using a product I saw online as a guide and they work great.
Beautiful work, both of you.
Very cool! I did metal fabrication for a while, and the band saw we had at the shop was from the Packard plant here in Detroit in the 50's. We also had some big circular saws made by Trenjeager that were used by the Messerschmitt plant in Germany in WW2. I love your vids, please don't stop.
Great restoration! The saw is worth so much more than all the work put into it. That should last a long time.
Never expected the bottom blade guides to have such a complex (though elegant) mechanism.

Dear Hand Tool Rescue, today I went to the county fair near me and they had on display or for potential purchase a Struck reciprocating saw exactly like the one you restored with a wood cutting blade. The man who owned it before bought it at an auction for 12 dollars and he used it until he died. It looks about brand new with the original paint and everything. Wish I took a picture of it but couldn`t. So know you know there is at lease 2 saw left in existent. Thank You for you fine work and in saving tools from the grave.
