I love these little old add-your-own-motor benchtop tools. They seem like they were quite popular in the 30s and 40s. I have a mini table saw that I got in already restored shape and it's a bit terrifying.
What makes these videos magic is I start thinking hey I could do that! Then by the end I’m like boy am I glad I didn’t have to do that there’s just no way I’d ever figure out that one part!
As always a great video and another tool saved. We forget in these days of big hardware stores and the internet just what it meant for a person to get one of these in their workshop. It’s great seeing these mundane old items being treated with the same love and passion as the first owner when it arrived and they unboxed it! Please keep up the good work
Very nice machine there. I was surprised you didn't have to fight the fasteners that much. You cracked me with the clamps, saying I have too many clamps is like saying there is too much bacon on my sandwich. Words that are never spoken by anyone. ;-) Looking forward to more videos.
......no music, no yapping.... just right and sped up with all the little noises when working... perfect for going to sleep thanks for being fresh on youtube.
The level of attention to detail you give these antiquated mechanisms is fantastic. giving them new life is an absolute enjoyable experience to have i do look forward to your next video
Beautiful restore on a great old tool. It looks good for another 50 years. I especially appreciate the improvements made to blade tracking and bevel clampdown. Well done!
I just acquired a 12 in Duro bandsaw while doing research or video popped up can't wait to watch the full video thanks for your due diligence on these projects
Someone just gave me one they was going to scrap. Mine looks bigger then his but looks the same. I'm going to restore the one I got. Honestly it is built like a tank. I don't think u can buy them like the quality of these old bandsaws
8:50 It was at this point that Hand Tool Rescue realized ... that he f*cked up. I found the slow withdraw of your drill after the fact a comical visual. Another fine video that breaks up my day by breaking me up.
Hand Tool Rescue Не досмотрел.Выключил на 22:36.Рисковый ты парень.Нечем будет и в носу поковыряться(тьфу-тьфу). А если серьезно.Обратили внимание на конструктив пилы ? Просто и надежно.Вот эту нужно делать ,а не Марка Ли.
Nice! I have one of these, inherited from my Father in Law, replaced with a new model a few years ago I'm ashamed to say. Maybe I should be restoring it???
Hand Tool Rescue - that part and the part where your spinning the wheel in the drill and it falls out and you slowly back away had me laughing my ass off.
I really enjoy the comedy you put in your videos! I also how innovative you are when you need to replace stuff. The brass door knob and wrench trick was really cool.

My father has the same band saw in the old wood shed. I have used many times, I'm scared of the thing. It's in disrepair to say the least, I never thought the thing would be this old. Thanks for the great video!
Seriously one of my favorite restores yet - would love to have that one in my shop. Feels like you made it better than new - and gave it some character in the process.
Thanks,Enjoyed it and the humor. I just finished a 1955 Sears upright bandsaw that was a flood survivor , Not quite as fast as you, lol. but it is cutting straight wood again. Later from Hot Locked down Texas.
Greetings from my corrupt Country U.S.A. lol.Man ive been following your channel since it was pretty much brand new i think under 500 subscribers.

Hahaha Anyways bro Thank you so Much for the INCREDIBLE Work you do and Share! I really appreciate your hard work and Dedication to your channel and Followers Take care Man and Thanks again!
Jack Smith It was more of a Joke. But i agree it is probably not as bad as say North Korea? Lol but like you said our government just lies and covers up Everything. Uts sad how corrupt The World is.
Just recently discovered your channel and love it, love watching you take an old tool, clean it, restore it and make is usable again. But you maintain it's authenticity as well which is what I think makes what you do really fantastic.
Just a heads up, the height of the upper blade guide is set to the thickness of the wood being sawn, plus about a 1/4" to 3/8" for safe working clearance. Also the clamp scenario was a hoot and I also liked the drill spinning one of the main pulleys. I would like to see much more of your shows.Great job. GOD bless.
Lovely restoration. I have a nearly identical saw that bears a Montgomery Wards Powr-Kraft logo. I put new tires on it, cleaned it up enough to work well, and now keep it in the kitchen as a little butcher saw. It's dandy for splitting game hens while they're still frozen and saves me a trip to the big band saw in the shop. Now, however, you've shamed me into really tearing into it and making it gleam.
I had that same exact saw. I used it to make long board skate boards. Boy the good old days. Good to see you doing great stuff like this. Keep up the great work. And thank you.
Very nice job. Those wheels and knobs buffed up quite nicely. The comedy was funny (that is important!). I love how you make very job-specific tools to work on the restoration. Great video, thank you!
