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 👍🏻

Just beautiful. Decades from now, these videos will be used to see how American people worked and lived.

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

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.

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.

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

Great work! A beautiful machine! You are doing important work to keep industrial history alive! Thank you for that! Best regards from Dresden! 👏👍🍀☀❤🛠😎

All Hail The Algorythm! Great Job, I forgot how huge these things can get- I hope the work gets appreciated. Thanks, Buddy

Now I want one of those pin striping tools even though I have no use for it yet...

Nice touches, it makes the saw look like it probably would have looked back in the day.

The bling makes a beautiful difference.

This is so much more interesting than watching a CNC machine buzz along.

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.

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

Whooo WEEE that pinstriping makes a huge difference!

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.

Keith, For someone who lacks pin-striping skills, you sir are an artist. Your restoration is a work of craftsmanship. Bob

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.

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.

Keith your attention to detail is amazing and I really enjoy watching you work on things like that.

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.

Sure looking good Keith. That is a massive saw. Thanks for sharing.

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

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 KZread 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 😀

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.

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.

I like that pin striping tool. that works really slick. I'm sure Jimmy Diresta will be happy with the final product.

The pinstriping makes a huge difference.

Looks great!

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...

Absolutely beautiful!

Your looking pretty healthy buddy. I hope you feel better.

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..... :)

Thanks for the video, Keith. I'm sure Jimmy will be happy with your work. See you at the Bar-Z. Jon

Those pin stripes look great Keith. I'm ordering a set right now.

Great series, Keith, many thanks. Jimmy Diresta is a lucky guy!

Great job Keith and well done, thank you and I love that old saw. 👍👍👍👍👍

This content is such a welcome change from all the "bad stuff" that's so available to see on KZread! I love seeing old machines become new again because they were built so well, it's worth the effort.

Gotta admire the skill of those ladies that pinstriped all those British motorcycle tanks for 60 years !!

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.

If you had all the time in the world it would be extremely tempting to do that thing up like a singer sewing machine.

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.

Saw is looking great!

Nice work Keith really nice looking saw. Thanks Keith for the video.

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.

Had to be JPS pinstriping! 1:22 - As a punk-kid hot-rodder, a pin-stripe guy told me 'so long as the paint's dry, you can wipe off your mistake and fix it'. But this was the guy who painted "Blue Angle" on my brother's dashboard. 8:04 - Pretty sure that roller was a J.C Whitney offering. Stripers used 'swords'; short-handled, long-bristled (asymmetric) brushes. 17:47 -See? Just like the guy told me. 20:25 - Beginning to look like a circus traction engine.

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

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

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!

Looking good Keith, nice to see it going together.

It's really surprising how much just a little bit of pin striping sharpens up the saw's appearance.

The black, red, and gold looks great.

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 !!

I'm really enjoying the bandsaw series !

Wood grain will get you every time if you aren't extremely careful. Good save, Keith!

You pinstriped the wheel like I hoped you would. 👍

Good morning Keith. I think you nailed simple and elegant. Looks fantastic. Thanks

You do beautiful work love watching your videos

Well done Keith, it is certainly coming together nicely,

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...

Freagin wowzers. Looks amazing. Good work!

man it is really looking good, a bit of pin stripe does indeed set it off. really enjoying watching this project. Thank you.

Wow! That tool made the pinstriping look super easy to accomplish and the results are excellent.

That's a gorgeous bandsaw!

I have never said ' Oh my gosh" so many times during a video !! Beautiful work and nicely done video !!

Looking fantastic cool beans.

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.

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.

Fabulous job Keith!

Wow-you make it look easy!

The casting looks reminiscent of the " Gradian of Forever".

Wow! Steady hand!

Nice work Keith!

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

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.

Very neat. It certainly adds to the looks of the machine, and is a really professional touch.

getting fancy. looks good.

Beautiful!

Love the show!

very nice Keith

Bkack red and gold, always a winning comniation.

looks so good Keith!

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

Looking good 👍

Super-nice to see the mechanicals coming together Keith! I love the minimalist striping!

Jesus. That tiny amount of pinstriping really made a difference. Nice call on that. Looks gorgeous.

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

Bravo Good Job Nice work Looks great

Satisfying to see it all come together after all the repairs, nice job I like the classic look. Thanks!

Looks fantastic!

Lovely job

Thank you for sharing.👍

Hi Keith, years ago when I was painting cars and I purchased a roller kit that has a magnetic strip that the striper would follow, it was long enough to reach from one end to the other. that would be perfect for this, still have it, haven't used it since the '70 s Rich

⁠@@katelights, Was that when he used it on his safe project? I’ve often hoped he would pinstripe some of his other projects, it adds so much to it.
