Kudos for the Video! Sorry for the intrusion, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you heard about - Schallingora Dexterous Programme Scheme (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a smashing one off guide for building any shed in no time with no experience minus the normal expense. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my cooworker at last got excellent success with it.

You're welcome :)

John Terpack I did up my 30 year-old Skilsaw after being inspired by this man ,looks brand new!

Thank you so much :)

I've heard the newer tools are not quite as well made as the older ones were. Another trick with Makita is make sure you get the ones that are actually made in Japan. I have some US manufactured Makita tools and they're just not as good.

​@@1pcfred That's to be expected. It's getting so price competitive that they are all making cuts to quality. Can't blame the manufacturers - they are just responding to consumer demand. Practically _anything_ made in Japan is going to be superior, but marketing pressure is going to push production 'overseas' if you know what I mean :P

@@firebladex8586 yeah sometimes I don't mind paying a bit more for something a bit better myself. But that's not how the market views things. So there I'm subject to the tyranny of the masses. Conversely though I hate wildly inflated prices for minimal gains. It is a fine balance where my pain point is.

Thank you for the suggestion!

I prefer that you kept the cable myself, the color is unique !

I would have replaced the complete Circular Saw ;)

If it ain’t broke?

@@TheLexiconDevils Not the point mate. The cable inside is old and worn. I agree with the other comments about the colour but this should not be a problem. Its more about safety than anything else. He replaced the blade because it was rusty and worn. Why not the cable? Is it not worn and old? :)

Makitas made in Japan or USA....The Chinese made tools are just junk with the Makita name molded in.

@@cs-rj8ru I'd say the Makita tools made in the USA are not on par with the Japanese manufactured ones. I wish it wasn't so but that's just been my personal experience. Bosch made in the USA same deal. The German stuff is better. I think it has less to do with what country and more to do with the home office. They just play better on their home field.

I'm talking about the older tools, the ones made in Japan and the US. Just never give up. Simple and durable.

@@ChaosmanOne I have one old Makita drill that's certainly seen better days. I think the front bearing housing on it is broken? It's been a while since I've used it. I remember it having some issue in the nose of it though. It still goes around but it's kind of sloppy anymore.

@@1pcfred Yes I believe you're right about the Japanese Made being better than US made Makita. I think the USA made items are made to be sold to a somewhat lesser customer base. (Not industrial/commercial). Still, they are considerably better build quality that that junk I see from China with Makita all over it...I believe the Chinese stuff is Chinese design/manufacture just licensing the name.

Scuba Steve why do you think he’s videoing all this. So he knows how to put it back together

Wow so that’s how he does it! DUH!!! 🥴

I’d have to go back and look at video a lot i would forget what I did too easily

@@matomat2o179 I imagine this guy could reassemble most things by memory and mechanical inclination.

You mean economical/efficient? Or are you worried about the rust in the air hurting the local frog population?

@Vitor Monteiro i do

@@duhjooner He sometimes uses paint stripper which is quite toxic, but yeah i meant efficient and economical, and it's so much fun compared to scratching dirt with a metal brush 😄

What he said

This comment said, Love to see the process of rebuild old machines very much.

@@donsho-1632 yeah what he said

Thank you :)

Thank you!

I was wondering what he did there

Thank you!

Thank you!

And the plastics they made in the 1960's (or earlier) has lasted even longer. Wonder what shit they put into plastics these days to make them crumble and deteriorate after just a few years. I know they put anti-flame stuff into white plastics so they go yellow after some years...

You're welcome! Thank you!

Thank you so much!

collect all the parts you have left over and invent a new machine lmao.

Those are the parts you dont need :P

The parts the engineers shouldn’t have put in

If it works without them, you don't need them.

Lol

What was wrong with the cord?

@@1pcfred not much but I'd be worried about the outer material starting to dry rot and becoming an electrocution hazard. I don't like taking risks with electricity, I've been shocked more than I'd care to admit and I just prefer to take the safer route.

@@notdone123456 if a cord exhibits signs of deterioration then by all means replace it. But to just replace cords for no good reason is more than I am willing to do. I just picked up two used power tools today. I did not replace the cord on either one of them. I ran them both and I am happy to report I did not even feel a tingle. Although I did have to connect the ground on one and add some strain relief. It is a metal body tool and not double insulated. The prior owner did some sketchy electrical work on it. I'm not sure what happened to them because their handiwork. It must have been good though considering how cheaply I purchased the tool from them. I didn't even plug it in before I fixed it. I didn't want to know. Electrical servicing is not for everyone I suppose.

@@1pcfred you do you my man, I'll do me

Yes I will. Thank you!

Yes, I think soo. Away thank you 😃

I agree with you. Though I usually use soaped microfibre cloth instead of a basin of water. Always scared of moisture entry...

Only thing to consider is that most of the times...the old cable becomes hard and less flexible...also...loses its insulating property......like old plier handle insulating sleeves.....

Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much!

Are you 100% sure it works okay? Where i work it's common practice to cut the cable off of a faulty or dangerous powertool. That may be why someone did that to yours

@@thatsuaveraptor4297 someone cut the cord using the saw. I fixed the cord and used it. The saw runs fine. The guy obviously even tried to fix it but just managed to strip a couple screws out in the handle. So I threw the saw up on my milling machine and drilled those screws out. I had some replacements in my screw jar.
